Li Jin watched Hu Laogen commit suicide with his own eyes.
The market west of the town had always been the most lively. Of course, he wouldn't miss it.
The older he got, the more he liked to watch the bustle. Because the days were peaceful and uneventful.
He had always looked down on the old bumpkin Hu Laogen. Even after Hu Laogen became the town constable, he still looked down on him.
He, Li Jin, had been properly educated!
He knew what kind of place East King Valley was, and where the Soaring Dragon Realm was. He knew the significance of the seal of Jia City's City Lord Mansion.
Weren't these things more trustworthy than Hu Laogen's shallow knowledge?
But Hu Laogen jumped down in front of him.
So resolute, so straightforward … so desperate!
Although he always talked about how he already knew his destiny, he always said that he knew everything and wasn't afraid of anything.
But having lived to this age, he understood that nothing was more important than life.
He didn't want to die. He believed that Hu Laogen didn't want to either.
But why did this old bumpkin fall to his death so tragically in front of so many people?
People gathered in front of Hu Laogen's corpse. Some were shocked, some were afraid, some were curious, and some were confused. The noise was endless.
"Go back!"
Old Man Li suddenly roared. He picked up a broom in front of the wine shop and began to chase people away. "Go back! Don't you know that there's an epidemic? Do you all want to die by gathering here? "
"If you want to die, die at home. Don't f * cking come out and hurt people!"
… …
Jiang Wang was almost certain that it was an epidemic that caused the deaths of so many townspeople.
Xi Zichu said that the worst result was nothing more than an epidemic. If the deaths of so many people weren't the worst result, then what was?
There weren't many good methods at the present stage. The conditions in Qingyang Town were also very limited.
The plan he formulated was simple and crude. It was to directly separate all the townspeople and cut off the infection route. Then, with him as the representative of the extraordinary power, he would go door to door and carry out an investigation.
He would find all the people who were infected and treat them together. He would isolate and diagnose all the people who might be infected.
This was a very difficult task. In the entire Qingyang Town, there were thirty-six thousand six hundred and seventy-one recorded people.
And the extraordinary power in Qingyang Town was only Jiang Wang, Zhu Biqiong, Xiang Qian, and Zhang Hai.
On average, each cultivator was responsible for investigating more than nine thousand people.. Even with the help of the town constables, the workload was terrifying.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be delayed.
All of Jia City's transcendent powers were concentrated in Jia City. The supernatural powers of Qingyang Town originally belonged to Hu You, who was the town constable, and his son, Hu Shaomeng.
Of course, there was a simpler way. If it was only to stop the spread of the plague, they could send people to guard the four sides of Qingyang Town. Four Transcendent cultivators would guard each side and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
Once everyone was dead, the plague would naturally disappear as well.
So much so that Jiang Wang could completely wash his hands of it. He was not from Qingyang Town, and it was already difficult for him to gain more benefits in Qingyang Town. Letting Jia Cheng and Yang Country worry about this seemed to be the smartest thing to do.
However, the reason why the world turned bad was not because people were stupid. On the contrary, it was because there were too many smart people.
Like Liu Gan, like … Xi Munan!
…
With the map of Qingyang Town in one hand, Jiang Wang rushed to Liujia Village, which was closest to the town, as fast as he could.
When he reached the outskirts of the village, he saw the curious and scrutinizing gazes of the villagers. Without saying a word, he drew his sword.
The Milky Way spun, and his Dao Energy violently attacked.
The sword aura soared, and the sound of the sword rang in everyone's ears.
With one slash, a huge crack appeared at the entrance of the village.
It was as wide as a fist and more than two feet deep.
When had the villagers of Liujia Village ever seen such a powerhouse? All of them trembled in fear and trepidation.
Only then did Jiang Wang mobilize his Dao Energy and spread his voice throughout the village. "I am Jiang Wang, representing Qingyang Town Hall. Right now, I suspect that someone in this village has contracted the plague. For everyone's safety, everyone should come out of their houses and stand at the door to wait for my inspection. Those who conceal, hide, or refuse to cooperate will be severely punished once discovered! "
"I will only say this once!"
No one dared to object.
The boorish men who rushed out of their houses with hoes were also stopped by the villagers.
How could they object to a Transcendent cultivator who could create a crack in the ground with one slash?
Not to mention that it was just an inspection, even if it was a robbery, they could only accept it.
To put it bluntly, even if all the old and young men in the village were chopped into pieces, they might not be able to fill up the crack.
For Jiang Wang, this was also a last resort.
In the face of the plague, he did not have time to persuade them one by one. Even if he was willing to put in a good word for them one by one, these people might not listen.
Using force to intimidate them was the fastest way to achieve his goal.
After making sure that all the people of Liujia Village understood his intentions, he walked into the village and observed the villagers one by one.
There was no need to touch them. Although the Poison-Swallowing Stinger strengthened by the Dao Development Platform could not completely absorb the plague virus, it could still detect hidden situations.
As he walked from house to house, those who were hiding under their beds were also pulled out by him and given a slap on the face in front of everyone. Regardless of gender, old or young, he treated everyone equally.
Fortunately, no one in Liujia Village had contracted the plague.
Jiang Wang dispersed the Poison-Swallowing Stinger and returned to the entrance of the village. He pointed at the crack made by the long sword and shouted to the villagers, "All villagers are not allowed to visit or leave the village for ten days! Violators will be punished by this crack! "
"You do not need to be afraid. I am here for the plague. In the future, there will be people from the government coming here regularly. If you need food and clothing, you can all apply! "
Jiang Wang repeated the symptoms of the people who had contracted the disease. "If you discover this disease, you can report it to the government. Once it is verified, you will be rewarded with ten knife coins! If you discover that you have contracted the disease, you must report it promptly. The government will treat you together. Do not implicate others. If you deliberately conceal it and do not report it, you will be charged with murder and must be killed! "
After saying this, Jiang Wang turned and left. He rushed to the next village without hesitation.
Time was already very tight. If he was a moment earlier, he did not know how many more people he could save.
He did the same in every village in Qingyang Town.
If he discovered that someone had contracted the plague, he would pick them out and take them away. He would warn others not to approach the family and mark the village as a village to be observed carefully on the map.
For the time being, Jiang Wang placed all the infected people in a mountain forest and strictly ordered them not to move. He planned to bring them back to Qingyang Town after checking all the villages and specifically ask for treatment.
However, despite his repeated orders, it was inevitable that the infected people would be in a panic.
When he returned to the gathering point of the infected people from the fifth village with three infected people, he found that two of the infected people had escaped while he was away. The remaining people's eyes were also flickering.
People's hearts wavered.
Jiang Wang did not say anything. He immediately used the Taoist technique to recall and set off to chase after them.
How could two mere mortals escape from his pursuit?
Crossing the mountain forest, he startled the birds. Soon, he caught the two fleeing infected people and brought them back to the gathering point, one in each hand.
In front of all the infected people, Jiang Wang directly pulled out his long sword.
The sword shone with a cold light!
The two young infected people knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, crying bitterly.
They were afraid that they would be abandoned. They thought that they would be gathered together and killed. That was why they ran away.
To be honest, this kind of mentality was very normal, and it was understandable.
"I understand your fear! But at this critical moment, since I have given the order, you must obey it. Because you are not wasting my time, but my time to save more people! "
It was understandable, but the law could not tolerate it.
If Jiang Wang did not uphold his orders, no one would listen to his orders anymore.
Harsh laws were used in troubled times. This was not a troubled time, but it was also a troubled time. There was not much difference!
Jiang Wang crossed his sword and cut off two toes.
In the end, he did not kill them. He only chose to cut off the toes as a warning. It showed his determination and would not affect their future lives too much.
"If there is a next time, I will definitely kill! Don't challenge my mercy. I am not making a choice between feelings and reason. I am making a choice between your lives and the lives of more people! Believe me, this choice is not difficult for me! "
Jiang Wang warned these people again. He did not have time to calm their emotions. He immediately turned and left, throwing himself into the inspection work of the next village.
Time was too tight. It was impossible for him to take care of everything.
Whether these people were afraid or hated, let them be.
Anyway, after showing the recollection in public, they all knew that it was impossible to escape.
These emotions were only meaningful when people were still alive.
Ten days!
For ten whole days, day and night, without sleep or rest, they went to various places in Qingyang Town.
Not only Jiang Wang, but also Zhu Biqiong, Xiang Qian, and Zhang Hai.
Only then did they finally complete Jiang Wang's established plan.
They found a total of 130 people in the entire Qingyang Town who were infected with the plague and gathered them in the western part of the town. All the houses and shops here were emptied, leaving an isolated space to accommodate the infected.
Even though they had all entered the Transcendent Realm, they still felt physically and mentally exhausted.
In these ten days, Dugu Xiao showed extraordinary endurance and energy. With the body of an ordinary person, she completed all the tasks Jiang Wang asked her to do. Whether it was emptying the houses, cleaning the environment, or organizing the patrols, she did it all very well.
After that, things were much simpler. She only needed to regularly inspect the place, bring the newly infected to a fixed area, and keep the place clean and tidy. At the same time, she sent living materials to each place to ensure the normal life of the people during the plague.
Jiang Wang had already asked Chung Geng Sheng for help through the Great Illusionary Land. He asked to mobilize cultivators who were proficient in medical skills to treat the patients.
Calculating the time, they would arrive in two days. Once a medical cultivator with the Transcendent Realm arrived, perhaps these 130 infected people would not have to die.
After completely completing the matter of Qingyang Town and containing the plague here to a certain extent.
Jiang Wang took his sword and walked out of the town hall.
At this time, the sun was just right outside. He stepped into the light.
Behind him, Xiao Xiao was sleeping on the table.
Zhu Biqiong and Zhang Hai were both leaning on the ground casually, sleeping soundly. Zhang Hai even snored with a smile on his face. It was unknown if he had refined his peerless elixir in his dream.
Only Xiang Qian was barely awake. Seeing Jiang Wang's murderous back …
He went far away!
