Chapter 2179: The Arrival Of The Governor
The man finally forgave her. He then threw a handkerchief at her and demanded, "Lousy woman, you’d better clean up your face. What a disgusting look!"
Gu Xijiu could not contain her anger. Her fingers clenched in frustration, and she was ready to confront the rude man.
The woman beside Gu Xijiu quickly stopped her and warned, "Lady, stay out of trouble. These bosses are the men of the governor. If you get yourself involved in things that you should not be involved, you will be sent out of the city."

The workers were the people of the lowest status in society. On the other hand, the soldiers were a class higher than the common people.

The guard had suffered a great loss in pride under Di Fuyi’s life-threatening sword. He wanted to take his revenge, but unfortunately, Di Fuyi fed him with a pill before releasing him and warned him not to do anything reckless; otherwise, he would have to suffer another painful lesson.

Instead of having to handle the leader of the guards, the newcomers were greeted by another group of people.
