"Disperse!" The guard, holding his weapon, confronted a large group of people tensely at the gate.
"Let that woman from the Northern Land come out."
"Yes, a life for a life, Chu Suifeng killed our brothers and husbands, let's repay it with his wife's life."
"Woman, come out."
"If the Second Prince shelters that woman, even if it means death, we'll break in and kill Chu Suifeng's woman."
"Come out."
"A life for a life."
...
The noise grew louder and louder, and vaguely, the people were about to charge into the Wang Residence. Although they did not have formal weapons in their hands, each person held scythes, hoes, whips, and kitchen knives, and each face wore an expression of anger.
Alhatu sat in a chair within the Residence, his face also filled with anger. Overnight, the citizens throughout the city all knew about the Prince Consort being in his residence. Without guessing, he knew Brukan had released the news.
