That morning, the hottest "topic" in the Capital's official circles, which began with the corruption in Taicang Prefecture and ended with the arrest and conviction of the governor Gao Lian being brought to the Capital, finally concluded.
When the news of Wang Chusheng and Gao Lian both dying violently in prison the night before was released, it created a massive stir in the Capital, as expected.
"Both of them died suddenly at the same time? Do you think I believe that?"
"How could this happen? How could two people die at the same time in prison? It's incomprehensible!"
"I heard that Gao Lian left a confession before he died, perhaps it was suicide!"
For most people, unaware of the details, this news generated immense shock.
Following this, more "rumors" began to circulate.
Among them, particularly striking was the one about Miss Mo leading the imperial guards out of the palace into the Imprisonment at night.
