Chapter 245: The Benevolence of a Gentleman, Extends to the Fifth Generation before Termination!_2

"The City Guard Mansion merely issues an order, and how can the common folk dare to disobey?" Elder Fu Shi spoke slowly, "Why ask about their sins?"

"Great City Guard, what do you think?" Lin Yan looked towards the people of the City Guard Mansion once more.

"This act may seem reasonable, but in truth, it serves private interests under the guise of public duty, and there is no law to follow!" The Great City Guard slightly shook his head, "Imagine, if I were to banish thirty thousand people from the city without cause, I fear Wu Chang the Inspection Envoy's blade would fall upon my neck!"

"..." Elder Fu Shi fell silent for a moment, then said, "If Wu Chang the Inspection Envoy were born in the inner city and feared involving his family, it would indeed be possible to give you a list, to avoid inadvertently harming his own kin."
