In just one night, everyone in the city knew what the Gu family had done.

Originally, it wouldn't have happened so quickly, but who made the Gu family suffer from such bad luck and bad fortune?

Outside the city lord's mansion, there were poor people holding petitions. They knelt on the ground and begged the city lord to give them justice.

The Gu family, including Gu Shun, Old Madam Gu, Liu Yanran, her daughter whose father was unknown, and even Lin Tang followed them.

Lin Tang's eyes were full of love and reluctance.

Long Baoer stood aside and watched coldly, unable to help sneering in her heart.

This fool Lin Tang knows nothing and thinks that this adopted daughter is his own flesh and blood.

All will be exposed in person today!

Because there were too many people kneeling at the gate of the mansion, the mayor of Xiancheng hurried out after receiving the report from his subordinates.

Seeing so many people kneeling on the ground, he was both surprised and happy.

I was surprised. I really didn't know that the Gu family had done so many evil things.

He was just a small city lord, and the other party was covered by luck. As the saying goes, if the people don't sue, the officials won't investigate, and many things were left unresolved.

Secondly, although the Gu family is a merchant family, they have a powerful background and even surpass him, the city lord.

Even if the city is not big, the city lord is still the city lord.

Don't take the bean bag as dry food.

Since so many people are demanding justice, then his handling of the Gu family can be considered as complying with public opinion.

So, the city lord immediately adjusted his expression, looking angry, and signaled the officers to take all the petitions. He also called several legal advisors from the city lord's mansion to sort the petitions according to their importance.

After all, there are so many people kneeling now. If we interrogate them case by case, I don’t know how long it will take.

After collecting all the petitions, Long Baoer looked at the girl beside her and said, "Sister Gu, are you going too?"

Gu Yuchen nodded, holding a complaint in his hand, and walked up slowly.

Behind her were Long Baoer, Yingying, Laoliu, Xiaoqi, Chang Yi, and other women who fell into the hands of the bandits with her.

Gu Yuchen walked up to the city lord without hesitation and presented the complaint with both hands, "I am suing the Liu family of the Gu family, Gu Shun, Liu Yanran, and Lin Tang for murdering my mother."

At this time, the people of the Gu family were about to arrive, and they saw many people kneeling down to denounce the Gu family. Especially when they got closer, they saw a young girl suing them.

Gu Shun was the first to frown. Before the person even arrived, he couldn't help but yelled, "Nonsense, I don't even know you. How could I have ever murdered your mother?"

Gu Shun thought that he would deny it first. As long as he was firm in his attitude and he never remembered murdering any woman, the city lord would give him face if he denied it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt an uproar among the people around him.

Gu Shun didn't understand why.

But the people around were so angry that they started cursing.

"It is said that ever since Liu Yanran entered the Gu family, Gu Shun's soul has been seduced away. He doesn't care about his wife and daughter. Even when his wife was sick, he didn't even send for a doctor. I originally thought that this was a rumor. How could someone be so heartless after being married for several years? But it turns out..."

"Humph! You are such a heartless man. It's a pity that Miss Lin married a bastard like you. Ugh!"

"Mr. Gu, what else do you have to say now?"

"I heard that the heartless man's mother took Miss Gu away from home to another city in order to exchange her daughter for benefits. Unfortunately, they encountered bandits, and the Gu family only used silver to redeem his mother and the bastard."

"It's really chilling! That's his own flesh and blood, his only flesh and blood! He's so cruel, even worse than a wild beast. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"

Everyone accused Gu Shun, which made him confused. "What, what do you mean? I really didn't harm anyone's mother. It was clearly this woman who falsely accused me. I was just stating the facts..."

Hearing this, even the city lord sneered, and then shouted, "Gu Shun, do you really not know her?"

In fact, the city lord didn't know Gu Yuchen either, but Gu Yuchen was not an unknown person. She had followed her mother to distribute porridge and do charity since she was a child. Although she was less than ten years old at that time, Gu Yuchen had just grown a little older over the years, and acquaintances could recognize her at a glance.

So as soon as Gu Yuchen came out to kneel, a master told the city lord her identity.

Xian City is not big, so the city lord naturally knows about the Gu family's affairs. Now he has confronted the real person.

When Gu Shun heard the city lord's words, a look of confusion appeared on his face, but just by looking at the back and profile, he at most felt that the person looked a little familiar, but he still didn't know who that person was, so he shook his head.

The noise around was louder.

Finally, someone couldn't help but said, "Gu Shun! That's your daughter! You couldn't even recognize your own flesh and blood in person, which shows that those things are true."

"What, what?" This time even Gu Shun was shocked. He never expected that the person kneeling on the ground was Gu Yuchen.
