"The outbreak of the epidemic has reached this point today. As the governor of Rizhao, if you don''t take responsibility for this matter, then who should be responsible?" Jiang Wang wanted to ask this old man this way.But he could only endure.

    There was no other reason, just lack of strength!

    No matter what, the governor of Rizhao is the master of a county, and his strength and status are not something Jiang Wang can shake at the moment.

    He could only take advantage of the fact that this old guy hadn''t turned his face directly yet, and said, "According to the style of the White Bone Path, the plague is likely just the beginning, and they are bound to have follow-up actions. If you don''t take action in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable! It is very likely to endanger the entire county!"

    "Tracing the history of the White Bone Path, it first appeared in Zhuangguo. I grew up in Zhuangguo, so I understand it!"

    When the governor of Rizhao heard this, he frowned, "As the representative of the Chongxuan family to Yangguo, are you originally from Zhuangguo?"

    Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the old man''s point, "I am indeed from Zhuangguo. So I know more about the terrible aspects of the White Bone Path. They..."

    But the governor of Rizhao stood up immediately, without saying a word, and left with a wave of his sleeve.

    It wasn''t until this old guy walked out of the reception room without even looking back once that Jiang Wang was somewhat shocked to find that he had been...discriminated against!

    Just because he was from a remote small country, the noble governor of Yangguo didn''t even bother to talk to him.

    Chongxuan Sheng, who came from the top family of Qiguo, did not discriminate against him for being from Zhuangguo. Xuxiang Qian, who came from the four major academies, did not discriminate against him for being from Zhuangguo.

    He really wanted to ask, why should someone from a vassal state that doesn''t even have its own political stance among the countries of the world be treated like this?

    He, Jiang Wang, opened his meridians at the age of seventeen, and within a year, he had crossed the meridians and the Zhou Tian, and by the age of eighteen, he had reached the Tongtian realm and could open the door to heaven and earth at any time.

    He had reserved a position in the Inner Court with divine powers, and was qualified to compete for the title of the strongest Tongtian realm in the world, defeating Jiang Wuyong and Chongxuan Sheng when he was in the Tongtian realm...

    And yet, someone like him was still discriminated against because of the country he came from?

    If the governor of Rizhao was just an ordinary old man, it would be fine, but the fact that he was the master of a county made his attitude so arrogant and his vision so shallow!

    Living in a vassal state of Qiguo, he was even more arrogant than the people of Qiguo.

    Without waiting for the people of the county government to drive him away, Jiang Wang left in anger.

    The entire Yangguo only had three counties, and the governor of Rizhao occupied one county, so his status could be imagined.

    But such a person, with his shallow and greedy nature, left Jiang Wang speechless. With such a governor, it was no wonder that the Xiji family would have ambitions.

    Even a pig, living under such an old man, would probably feel resentful!

    He had intended to ignore it and watch how the White Bone Path would cause chaos in the world, and then see how this old man would end up.

    But the White Bone Path was an evil cult that he had to eliminate. Allowing it to grow would only increase the difficulty for himself in the future.

    He couldn''t act on impulse.

    Moreover, this narrow-minded old man might deserve to die, but the countless common people who would be buried with him were innocent. Why should they suffer?

    Returning to the present, he should not expect support from the Rizhao County government.

    The area with the most severe epidemic in the entire Yangguo was Rizhao County. And within Rizhao County, the area with the most severe epidemic, apart from Jiacheng, was Yuecheng.

    The plague that broke out in Yuecheng, at its root, also spread from Jiacheng.

    The first person to be infected with the plague was surnamed Li, who opened a pie shop in Jiacheng. After returning to Yuecheng, he brought the plague back, and after leaving the country, he took the plague to Rongguo.

    These circumstances had already been investigated and announced by Jingye, the mayor of Guangcheng in Rongguo, and Jiang Wang was also aware of them.

    Old Li was also one of Hu Shaomeng''s informants in Qingyang Town. With the successive deaths of Hu Shaomeng and Old Li, no one knew about this. Naturally, no one could have imagined that the reason Old Li had been running around the world was to attract Jiang Wang''s pursuit.

    Including Jiang Wang himself, he couldn''t think of this, but it didn''t stop him from listing Yuecheng as the next place to go.

    One thing he was very clear about was that the White Bone Path must still have people operating in Yangguo.

    And the location of that person should be where the epidemic was most severe.

    So wherever the epidemic was most severe, he would go there.

    ...

    ...

    Wu Yinquan was a head jailer in Yuecheng, with four jailers under his command.

    This job was actually quite easy.

    Any danger was borne by the constables and city guards who carried out the arrest tasks.

    If there was any danger that they couldn''t handle, they wouldn''t even be able to enter the prison.

    Moreover, within the entire territory of Qiguo, there were no well-established bandits. Yangguo was naturally included.

    So things like prison breaks were as distant as legends.

    The power of the government was absolute, and there was no force that could stand up to it. If you accidentally offended them, there was no other way but to back down.

    Of course, there was still a lot of money to be made in the prison.

    Although there were no truly extravagant figures in the prison, there were still many people willing to pay to avoid suffering in such a harsh place.

    But there were exceptions, those with tough skin and stubborn bones.

    Like the old man who had just entered the prison.

    He looked like a wealthy scholar.

    The charges were not very clear, something about spreading rumors and causing trouble. Perhaps his family had paid money to have him thrown in, and the city guards who brought him in had arranged a single room for him.

    Of course, there were rules in the prison. Whether this arrangement could be maintained all the way through would ultimately depend on whether these local bigwigs agreed.

    With Wu Yinquan''s experience, most of these people with tough bones were just because they hadn''t really suffered yet.After several unsuccessful attempts at both overt and covert persuasion, Wu Yinquan gave an order and threw him into the prison cell that held the most serious criminals.

    This place had a name in the prison, called the "Earth-class private room," a place that made all the inmates pale at the mention of it.

    Here gathered the most ferocious group of criminals in the entire prison; even a tiger thrown in would be tamed into a dog.

    As for the "Heaven-class private room" that held the death row inmates, Wu Yinquan still didn''t dare to send people there.

    Because people often died there, and this wealthy scholar was registered with the city guard. If there was a need for further interrogation in the future, it would be troublesome if he died.

    The night before, he had indulged in drinking a bit too much and didn''t wake up until noon the next day.

    Wu Yinquan slapped his forehead, realizing something was wrong. It wasn''t that he was worried about being late for roll call or anything like that; who in the prison cared about such things? As a jailer, coming in late or leaving early was not an issue.

    What worried him was that he was late to pick up the person, and that the wealthy scholar couldn''t withstand the torment and might have died in the "Earth-class private room."

    Not to mention the loss of the silver he had high hopes for, if the city guard came looking later, he would have a hard time.

    Wu Yinquan almost ran all the way to the prison, heading straight for the "Earth-class private room."

    To his surprise, the cell was peaceful.

    S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.

    Those inmates, who were usually fierce and terrifying, were all behaving themselves, either sitting or lying down, either staring blankly or picking lice.

    Even those who chatted casually did so in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing someone.

    Wu Yinquan peeked inside and looked around.

    On the second bed to the left, the one lying on his side sleeping—right in front of the only relatively cool and ventilated spot in the cell—wasn''t that the wealthy scholar?
