Especially when their eyes turned to the guy hanging on the flagpole, everyone instantly showed overwhelming expressions of astonishment.
At first, no one dared to imagine who was hanging up there, until after a while, they confirmed that the person hanging there was indeed the Lord Liu who ruled with an iron fist here.
You must understand, Lord Liu was notoriously arrogant and domineering in her daily behavior.
Whenever they saw Lord Liu, they were always required to kneel and greet her.
This is not an exaggeration. Every time Lord Liu went out, when the common folk saw her, they had to kneel down,
otherwise, they faced a brutal beating.
Such practices have been going on for quite some time and can be considered unspoken rules here,
even when facing the Emperor, they might fear something similar.
Though the common folk had grievances, they dared not express them even slightly.
If they truly showed signs of dissatisfaction, what awaited them was an even more tragic fate.
