Chapter 104: Rumors and Deception
me, the foremost talent of the Yellow River, with trumped-up charges, captured me, the prodigy of Great Qi, using despicable methods. You claimed a public trial, yet your prisoner vanished, his life a...Unlike the Hu family's exploitation of Qiyáng Town, the Xi family has always been kind to the people of Jiāchéng. Their cruelty is only shown to families who have the potential to threaten the Xi family's position, which is also one reason why the Xi father and son are actually quite beloved.
As for the Hu family, even Hu Shaomeng's own cousins from his father's side were not treated with much leniency; they all acted meekly and submissively before Hu Shaomeng.
This is because, before successfully joining the Di Hai Lou, Hu Shaomeng wouldn't have received enough resources to support his cultivation.
A full granary and pantry lead to knowledge of propriety, as is the case in the world of cultivation.
As for the city beneath his feet, this very domain, Xi Zi Chu certainly had feelings for it.
All those years of affection and closeness, even the most unfeeling heart would be warmed by it.

So when he saw a medical clinic's back door, a dying patient was carelessly thrown onto a cart, piled with several corpses, he was a little angry.
It was especially the soldiers of the city guards who did this. They were almost like private soldiers of his Xi family. In a sense, they also represented him.
A straw mat covered these corpses, the wheels rolling forward.
Everything seemed hasty, superficial, and absurd.
"Get out of the way."
The young soldier said coldly.
At that time, Xi Zi Chu happened to be passing by and stopped at the entrance of the alley.
They were just standing in front of them.
"What are you doing" Xi Zi Chu asked.
This is not an enjoyable job.
No one was willing to do this, so the two soldiers pushing the cart were in a bad mood.

“Drag him to the mass grave, and if he dares to cause trouble again, bury you with him!” one said.
"This person isn't dead yet!"
Xi Zi Chu took a step forward and flung the straw mat aside.
“You’re asking for death!” The two city guard soldiers immediately drew their swords!

But their knives, were pressed back.
Xi Zi Chu stared at the most outlandish face on top of the truck, his heart was in turmoil!
Though this person is still alive, they are beyond the reach of medicine and remedies. The disease afflicting them is too powerful.
Even though Dongwanggu practiced alchemy and martial arts, never shying away from killing, research on "epidemics" was strictly forbidden.
Even though countless powerful killing techniques could be developed from "epidemics," this was a predictable direction that no one dared to openly attempt.
Whether Heaven is harmed or not, it's irrelevant. Once exposed, everyone in the world will seek to punish him. Even Dongwanggu wouldn't be able to bear such consequences.
To Xi Zi Chu's shock, this person, including the corpses under his command, were all afflicted with the plague.
They were merely wrapped in straw mats and sent to the mass grave.
If the escort soldiers slack off again, even refusing to bury them...the consequences would be...

And such a big thing, no matter as Dong Wanggu's cultivator or as the young master of the Xi family, he was utterly unaware!
The dying patient looked into Xi Zi Chu's eyes with no hope, his lips moved but he couldn't make a sound.
Xi Zi Chu spread his five fingers, a flower of ingestion shot out from the ground, swallowing the corpse on the cart... including this person who hadn't fully transformed into a corpse.
“Do you know what this sickness is” he turned his head and asked the soldiers with a hint of sadness.
"Who are you" one of the soldiers asked.
In the face of a powerhouse displaying extraordinary power, the warrior still maintains their courage.
Such soldiers are the result of several generations of effort by the Xi family. Xi Zichu should feel proud.
But at this moment he didn't have that kind of mood, just reached out and wiped his face, restoring his original appearance: "It's me."
Two soldiers looked at each other.

Then, he reported: “Master! My subordinate doesn’t know. Mr. Liu only passed down the word that for this type of illness, they should all be sent to the north suburbs burial ground and buried together.”

"How long has this been going on"
"I'm afraid I don't know. I was only just transferred here a few days ago, and I'm responsible for handling the bodies in this area of the city. Primarily, it's coming from this medicine shop."
Another soldier chimed in, "I've heard rumors circulating through the ranks that this has been going on since April...but now, it seems to be happening more and more."

Xi Zi Chu's face turned very ugly and he left without a word.
When Jiang Wang came back to Jiaceng, everything seemed the same as before.
The gatekeeper still refused to lower the entry fee, of course he didn't dare to raise it either.
There are still many people on the street, showing a scene of peace and prosperity.
As for the Xi family, Jiang Wang didn't have a good feeling about them, but she also didn't have any great animosity.
The competition for the treasured pawn was fierce, each player using their own methods. The Xi family's compensation showed genuine sincerity. In the end, a Tenglong Realm elder died in vain, but there wasn't much anger or frustration displayed, showcasing the air of a true aristocratic family.
If the Xi family doesn't plan to oppose him in the future, he is also not prepared to make enemies with the Xi family.
What he needs to do is integrate the various businesses that Chong Xuan has across Yang Country, improving their efficiency and providing Chong Xuan Sheng with a steady stream of resources. Simply relying on brute force won't achieve this.
He had no intention of going to the City Lord's Mansion. He still remembered the small courtyard where Xi Zi Chu had invited him last time, so he decided to wait there for Xi Zi Chu. Before that, he wanted to go to several large medical halls in Jiacheng to take a look and get a sense of the situation.
If the two deceased in Qingyang Town were truly infected with the disease, then there should be similar cases in Jiacheng, a city of such size.
And with the quality of doctors in Da Cheng, perhaps patients who could only wait to die in Qingyang Town could be cured in Jia Cheng.
There is a transcendent cultivator named Xi Zi Chu from the Dongwanggu, so Jiang Wang has great confidence in the medical skills of Jiacheng's doctors.
As I walked down the street, I heard a commotion.
From afar, it appeared to be a squad of armored soldiers escorting a prisoner wagon towards us.

When a prisoner's chariot passes through the market, it's like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouts to beat it.
Not to mention, there was also a tall and burly man who loudly read out and repeated this person's crimes —

There was a physician, surname Sun, given name Ping.
The dog is bold and brazen, spreading rumors and disinformation!
To seek greater profit, they exaggerate their illness.

Within one street, everyone was in fear;
In a single room, people's hearts were filled with unease.
The prisoner's chariot passed through the city and was beheaded at the South Gate.
Here's the translation:"On display for all to see, as a warning to others!"
Write clearly and speak loudly. Everyone understands perfectly.

This young doctor named Sun Ping, in order to make some ill-gotten gains, deliberately exaggerated the patients' conditions, causing panic among the people and profiting from it.
"Darn it!"
A rotten egg, with a "splat," smashed into the prisoner van.
The yolk, a mixture of black and yellow, ran down the criminal Sun Ping's jet-black hair.
This sound, like a war drum, instantly triggered the "charge" and sounded the "war".

A hand reached out from the crowd, like a relay, continuing justice!
Countless rotten cabbages and stinking eggs, falling into the prison cart like rain.

People blushed and were filled with righteous indignation.
"This black-hearted thing! Just knows how to drain our money!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“To be this bad at such a young age, what will happen in the future”
"Dare to spread rumors again!"
“What a heartless beast!”
Finally, all the voices of justice converged into a torrent.
A voice boomed out —
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”
Jiang Wang stood outside the crowd, looking at the prison car.
The prisoner named Sun Ping inside the prison van, wearing his uniform, with handcuffs and shackles, neither cried out for innocence nor argued his case. He didn't even dodge the filth thrown at him.
But tears were streaming down from his young eyes. Xia nation soldiers and civilians have abandoned their cities within the Fengjie Prefecture and fled outwards.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!In this situation, bein...
