What surprised people even more was Gui Haoyuan.
This man was actually hanging at the back of the procession.
Aside from being weak, Gui Haoyuan was only wearing Ninth Grade official uniform, with shackles made of Red Xuan Iron on his hands and feet.
Moreover, there were some whip marks on his exposed skin.
In front of Gui Haoyuan were several Generals of the City Guards.
Their situation was slightly better, none wore shackles, but their clothing was reduced to Third Grade. All had sullen faces, drooping heads, and dispirited appearances.
The observant and perceptive among the crowd instantly understood what was happening.
This must be the result of yesterday's conflict between the Princess and Chu Xisheng; their actions provoked the City Lord's thunderous anger. She directly stripped Gui Haoyuan of his official position and even administered a flogging.
Even the Princess, Zhangsun Ruoli, did not receive face from Ween Zhiyi.
