Chapter 106: Asking the Doctor
if we overturn the Zhuang family, other monarchs might not be better. The 30,000 navy patrolling the Qing River is just right. However, this Bai Gu Dao person coming to my door and offering the dragon...A throng of people surged toward the south gate, crowding around the prison wagon. Jiang Wang went against the current.
He didn't know the ins and outs of the situation, nor did he have a deep understanding of whether Jiacheng's government was just or not.
Although public opinion is surging, public opinion is something that is very easy to manipulate. It will not become the basis for his judgment.
The only thing he could see was the young doctor named Sun Ping, his tongue had been cut out.
This is not an appropriate thing, especially when he still needs to be watched.
Whether it's punishment or retribution, it makes no difference.
He was unable to speak. Unable to defend himself in public.

" to reflect that.
People could only hear one voice, the indictment repeating endlessly.
Thus, there is only one unified public opinion.
Just on this point, Jiang Wang was unwilling to go along with them.
He walked against the crowd.
>
It seems that it is human nature to flock to excitement, not just in Jiacheng.
A passing prisoner transport, a condemned man about to be executed, attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
After passing through the crowd, the street became much more spacious.
Jiang Wang had no interest in window-shopping and quickly found the nearest clinic. To his surprise, the clinic was surprisingly deserted.
An apprentice pounded the medicinal herbs haphazardly, while an old physician lay languidly on a chaise lounge.
There wasn't a single patient in the hospital.
Jiang Wang walked in for half a day and no one greeted him.
He said nothing, and silently went to the second clinic.
The situation at the second clinic is similar.
To an outsider, this probably seems fine. People in this city are healthy, so there aren't many sick people.
But in Jiang Wang's view, it just proves that there is a big problem.
With his experience running a traditional Chinese medicine shop at home, he knew that medical clinics and apothecaries would always be busy places.
Hunger and disease have been problems that humans have been fighting since recorded history.
When a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, they can disregard most illnesses and even dispense with the need to eat.
But not everyone can achieve greatness.

"Are you here to see a doctor Where does it hurt" The second clinic actually had someone greeting people.
But Jiang Wang left directly.
There's no need to look any further.
Following the memory of the location, I walked to the courtyard where I had met Xi Zi Chu before.
After knocking on the door, as expected, Xi Zi Chu was in the courtyard.
Jiang Wang's arrival was not concealed, and if Xi Zi Chu couldn't find him, that would be strange.
This time parting, the person was far from their previous state. Though they tried to appear nonchalant, traces of stress were still visible between their brows.
"What brings the messenger here" Xi Zi Chu didn't intend to let him in, so she asked from the entrance of the courtyard.
“Someone in town is sick,” Jiang Wang said.
You wouldn't think that just because I come from Dongwanggu, I should treat everyone who comes to me And besides, that person is just an ordinary citizen from Qingyang Town.
"I believe that if a terrible disease were to appear, as the young master of the Xi family and a cultivator of Dongwanggu, you would be duty-bound to act."

"What terrible disease"
“I don’t know,” Jiang Wang said honestly, “But two people in Qingyang Town died from the same disease. Before they fell ill, they both came to Jiac City. I think you should be on alert.”
What symptoms

"High fever, boils."
>Where is the body
"It's buried."
“Now that everything is taken care of, what are you still warning me about”
“As a disciple of Dongwanggu, what do you think is the illness” Jiang Wang asked.
“With the two symptoms you described, there could be at least a hundred different diseases. Some are very mild, while others are very serious. How can I answer that”
What is the most terrifying situation
Seeing that Xi Zi Chu remained silent for a moment, Jiang Wang continued, "Even extraordinary cultivators have to bear extraordinary responsibilities. Since so many people's lives are at stake, we should make the worst-case scenario our best preparation. For this reason, I am willing to bury the hatchet with you. The compensation that the Xi family had promised to the Chong Xuan family can be reduced by half."
In Xi Zichu's view, whether it was Jiang Wang or Chongxuan's family, they were just passersby in the Jiacheng region. The Xi family was the permanent master of this place.
He was truly surprised by Jiang Wang's sincerity.
"In the worst case... it's nothing more than a plague," Xi Zi Chu said. "But it shouldn't be. I will specifically mobilize the extraordinary powers of this city to investigate the root cause. At present, it seems to be related to the white bone man who came to Jiacheng from Bai Gu Dao. Unfortunately, you left no living mouth."
"Has this got something to do with the White Bone Path The White Bone Path are ruthless and capable of anything. Brother Xi, you must be careful."
"Of course I know."
“As I was entering the city just now, a prison wagon passed by... ” Jiang Wang seemed thoughtful: “It carried a physician named Sun Ping. His tongue had been cut out, so he couldn't speak. They say he spread rumors and incited panic... What kind of rumors did he spread”
“Jiacheng has its own government offices. I can't possibly be concerned about everything. However, spreading rumors and cutting tongues are probably the most common punishments.”
Jiang Wang nodded and didn't say anything more.
Whatever the case, in terms of medicine, Dong Wanggu is an authority. And he also knows how important Jiacheng is to the Xi family. The Xi family should care more about the safety of Jiacheng's people than he does, it's almost impossible for them to ignore the danger.
He planned to settle in Qingyang Town, making it his base of operations. That's why he wanted to ease relations with the Xi family.
In the future, when he develops further, or there's bound to be a conflict with the Xi family, but for now, it's still best to keep a low profile and lie dormant.
Upon returning to Qingyang Town, Jiang Wang immediately instructed Hu Laogen to impose martial law throughout the entire town.
All the mundane guards from the mine were assembled and combined with the town constables to patrol the entire town.
He remained under martial law until he felt safe.
Whatever Jia Cheng's strategy or attitude may be.
Xi Zi Chu said the worst-case scenario was a plague, so Jiang Wang treated it as if it were a pandemic.

During this period, all kinds of losses incurred, including but not limited to production interruptions and the cost of food and fodder for livestock, shall be borne by the town and Jiang Wang personally.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This loss, Jiang Wang can afford.
Or, he is willing to take responsibility.
The Chongxuan family's industries in Yang Guo are mostly similar to the Hu family mine. They support local agents, recruit local extraordinary cultivators, and settle accounts every year or month, only looking at the revenue and not anything else.
This saves time and effort, and doesn't affect income. But the problem is a lack of in-depth control.
Prior to this, the Chongxuan family's approach was to tightly control the allocation of extraordinary resources. While local matters could be handled by locals, those who distributed extraordinary resources were always from the Chongxuan family itself.
To be honest, the idea was great. But in practice, the results weren't as good.
The Hu Shi mine is a typical example.
As long as you two get along well and regularly contribute, there's no problem. But once a valuable treasure appears, the Hu family will have second thoughts and find countless ways to drive the Chongxuan family out. True, the Chongxuan family has the ability to make anyone who betrays them regret it later, but the damage is already done.
But to integrate all these industries and make them a logistical warehouse for Chongxuan's operations, the previous model will definitely no longer work.
Like Jiang Wang killing the Hu family father and son and reaching an understanding with the local powerholders, the Xi family, is one way to do it.
But it's impossible to keep winning all the way.
He is not in a hurry to take over all of Chong Xuan's business in Yangguo right now. Instead, he plans to first build a solid foundation centered on Qingyang Town and then radiate outward. This way, he can achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Now in the mine, extraordinary powers have Jade Biqiong, Qianwang, Zhang Hai,
For handling mundane affairs, there were Dugu Xiao and Hu Laogen.
Jiang Wang was able to devote himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation. During this time, besides writing a letter back to An An and Ye Qingyu, he had nothing else on his mind.
This situation continued until seven days later.
This is to say, in the year 18th year of Daolu's reign, and the 54th year of Yuanfeng during Qi's rule, on the 4th day of June.
