Although the Crown Prince did his best to drive these people away, he eventually closed the city gates, executing these foreign people behind closed doors. However, many of the common people in Sairu City still suffered casualties.
The number of people he saved by opening the city gates was roughly equal to those who perished inside the city.
Some people were grateful to the Crown Prince for opening the gates and considered him wise and compassionate. Yet others, who lost their families because of it, hated the Crown Prince with a passion, wishing for his death.
The people of Sairu City were quickly divided into two factions: one that supported the Crown Prince and another that wanted to kill him.
The divergence between the two groups was significant.
The Crown Prince thought of numerous ways to resolve these matters, such as reducing taxes for affected families and personally visiting them with gold and silver to offer condolences.
