Fu Lao's words affected the entire political will. Those high officials who had close ties with the Five Families were frightened into silence, severing all contact with them, even the most basic communication.
Inside the Zheng Family, the sound of mourning was profound.
"Patriarch, he died from a sudden collapse, what a laugh." Those concerned about Zheng Guodong's fate, and clamoring for revenge, sighed like this. They've lost all supporters; losing the backing of political powers marks their utter downfall.
Even within the Zheng Family, those who didn't care about Zheng Guodong felt sad. After all, they were part of the same family. Honestly, Zheng Guodong, despite dominating the family, contributed greatly to it. They understood the circumstances around his death but were helpless against the tide. They could only follow the situation and secure satisfactory benefits.
