Jie Minister narrowed his eyes and whispered to his guard, "You go check who spread those words."
"Yes, Minister."
Jie Minister stroked his palm-length beard as he entered the tent, thinking to himself, Someone can't hold back and wants to take this opportunity to revolt.
Just as well, King Jin is here.
Floods, epidemics, and rumors abound.
Since the Protector of the Nation instigated King Jin to take over this mess, let's see how the Ducal Residence handles it.
Jie Minister's guard soon returned, his face somber.
"What's the matter?" Jie Minister asked.
The guard said in a low voice, "Minister, those words spread even before we arrived; it seems they originated near Qingshui Town. It's too late to trace the source now."
"Qingshui Town?" Jie Minister pondered, tilting his head.
Qingshui Town, Lotus Village, Tianmen Mountain.
