Playing Tricks Behind the Scenes

Upon hearing Gu Qingluan's instructions, the Magistrate of Shuntian nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, especially since he offended the Guardian Princess.

"No, please!" the carter exclaimed, and a strong smell of urine filled the air.

People looked at him, shocked to find that he had lost control.

Some individuals couldn't help but step back, their eyes filled with disdain and disgust.

Gu Qingluan spoke indifferently, "If you have no mastermind behind you, then everything you did is your responsibility, and you will bear all the consequences."

"Confess for a lighter sentence, resist for a harsher one. If you have a reason, speak up now. Perhaps it can reduce your punishment!" Tang Shijun, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and said.
