Lu Shuang's legs were already trembling from what she saw, but Su Jin merely had an ashen face, showing no signs of fear.
After all, she understood Ren Tianye and possessed more confidence. Most importantly, she and Ren Tianye had encountered far too many monsters and demons along their journey.
She was very clear that the Duke had the capacity to endure such things.
However, this did not mean she could dismiss the matter lightly.
There are over a thousand of these letters. Even though some share the same handwriting, it is enough to show that this is an organization of at least several hundred people. To think they actually dare to resist the Duke's orders and wish to preserve a harmful world where love reigns supreme—it proves that Huai'an City is already a complete mess!
Su Jin turned around, her expression as cold as frost.
She issued a cold command: Go investigate, investigate immediately!
Where did these letters come from, and who wrote them? What is this organization? Who is involved in it?
Find out right now.
I would rather you investigate the wrong people than let a single one slip away!
The Demon Suppression Guards immediately cupped their fists: Yes, ma'am!
Lu Shuang, go back and rest. This matter is not that big of a deal, so there is no need for you to exhaust yourself over it.
Yes, Lord Demon Suppression Envoy!
...
Wangchun Pavilion.
The members of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance gathered together.
Unlike last time, even more people came this time, to the point that they directly booked the entire Wangchun Pavilion. They even sent people to block the tavern owner and waiters outside, forbidding them from entering.
A full hundred people crowded the space, all seething with intense emotion.
All because someone was crying and complaining.
Xu Qin's mother was loudly condemning Ren Tianye's atrocities.
My daughter just wanted to have a sweet romance, what did she do wrong?
And they insist on killing her?
Is it a crime to actively pursue true love?
I have already sold off my family property, and now I have lost my daughter. From now on, I have nothing left. I can only wait for the day my destined prince descends from the heavens to give me the final tenderness of my life!
The men and women of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance surged with righteous indignation, offering words of comfort one after another. At the same time, they informed her of the first step they had already taken.
Auntie, rest assured. Our Love Mutual Aid Alliance will definitely protect Xu Qin, protect Lord Zhou Zhi, and protect the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion.
Moreover, we have already launched a massive, wide-ranging campaign of complaints.
Under the pressure of so many of us, neither Ren Tianye nor the City Lord's Estate will be able to withstand it!
These words calmed Xu Qin's mother down a bit, but soon, Xu Qin's mother thought of something and asked in return: But haven't you all been reporting this for a long time?
Why is there still no response?
This was an unintentional question from Xu Qin's mother, but it hit the nail on the head, striking directly at the core of the issue.
Thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands of letters had flowed into the Demon Suppression Division and the City Lord's Estate. Such a large-scale display of public sentiment, according to Huai'an City's past situations, should have immediately caused a massive uproar.
The officials of Huai'an City, logically speaking, should have immediately stepped forward to clarify the incident and actively apologize.
But now...
Huai'an City was completely calm and tranquil!
There was even a faint feeling of undercurrents surging!
Something was wrong, very wrong!
Among the men and women of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance, not everyone was entirely brainless. Naturally, some saw the inconsistencies in this situation.
However...
They already had experience with this.
A woman immediately stood up.
She said: Auntie, I do not care what the result is. At the very least, I have made my stance clear.
These words instantly drew agreement.
Exactly! Even if they do not handle it, we have still ruined their reputation.
Hmph, Ren Tianye and the City Lord's Estate just do not dare to openly admit their mistakes. Deep down, they surely know they are in the wrong.
The more they ignore it, the more it proves they have a guilty conscience!
Auntie, you do not understand. As long as we make our voices heard, we have won. We do not necessarily need a result.
Xu Qin's mother had always wanted to join the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance, but she was never permitted to do so, thus she did not quite understand the Alliance's style of doing things.
Hearing this now left her mind completely baffled.
Her daughter Xu Qin was still in prison waiting to be beheaded! What did they mean by saying making their voices heard was a win, and they did not need a result?
How could they not need a result?
Her eyes widened as she cried out: But my daughter is not out yet!
The people of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance were so accustomed to this kind of self-delusion that they had just spoken out of habit. Reminded by Xu Qin's mother, many of them realized they had misspoken.
Among them, their leader, Young Master Qi, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Auntie, do not panic. We will absolutely save Xu Qin, and we will absolutely save Lord Zhou Zhi. Of course, the most important thing is that we must save the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion.
The current situation is actually very clear.
The City Lord's Estate and Ren Tianye simply do not dare to confront us head-on. Right now, they are just pretending to be silent because they know they are in the wrong. Therefore, our first step has been highly effective!
Young Master Qi stepping out to save face for everyone made the crowd of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance fired up again, and they eagerly voiced their stances.
Young Master Qi is right. They do not dare to respond, but brushing us off will not work. We will absolutely not accept this kind of compromised outcome!
This matter is not over. There is absolutely no way we will just let this go!
Brothers and sisters, let us write more letters! Let us all help write letters together. We cannot tolerate this!
One person's strength is not enough, but together we have power!
This is not just one person's business. All men and women who revere love should stand up!
Since Ren Tianye and the City Lord's Estate refuse to be fair, we will use our own methods to seek justice!
...
The crowd's rallying cries brought a look of joy to Young Master Qi's face as he said: Auntie, do you hear everyone's voices?
This matter is far from over!
We will definitely save Xu Qin, and we will definitely stop them from burning down the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion. Moreover...
Young Master Qi smiled: Our second step has already begun!
