Chapter 172: Crazy Warrior
"Impossible, this is impossible! Absolutely impossible, how could there be such a monster in this world!"
In the early morning of Anqing Prefecture, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, vendors on both sides of the street, who had gotten up early to prepare for the day's livelihood, looked strangely at the man who was staggering on the street in tattered clothes and with a dejected look on his face.
This man looked like he had been ravaged by a dozen big men all night long. His clothes, which were obviously made of very good material, had now turned into rags. But the strange thing was that there was not a single scratch on the exposed parts of his body.
"This must be another frustrated person who went to a brothel to seek pleasure!"
Looking at the crazy and weird man, a stall vendor stared at him for a few seconds and then paid no attention to him. Instead of paying attention to others, he might as well take care of the stall in his hands, as this was the place where his whole family earned their living.
"How pitiful! They look crazy!"
"It must have been a blow!"
"Speak softly, don't irritate him!"
It's hard not to notice someone who behaves so crazy. Wherever he goes, people will look at him twice and whisper a few words, but they all keep their voices down because no one wants to provoke a madman.
Soon, officials and runners came after receiving the report. However, when one of them stared at the crazy man, he screamed in shock.
"Master Jiang!"
When they saw that someone knew the man, the yamen runners who had rushed here after receiving the report looked at their colleagues.
"What Lord Jiang?"
"you know?"
The yamen runner who had led the way for Jiangbei yesterday was now sweating all over, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
He was worried that this gentleman might get into trouble, so he even stayed in the government office all night last night and patrolled the streets with his colleagues early in the morning.
But he ended up running into Jiang Bei in this state. How could he not feel scared?
"This is the newly appointed Lord Jiangbei Jiang yesterday!"
The bailiff's voice was trembling.
"What? It's that Lord Jiang?!"
The rest of the yamen runners were all shocked. They all knew that yesterday a powerful warrior joined their Anqing Prefecture Yamen. This warrior's strength level was far above the innate level. However, the warrior who joined yesterday became a madman today. This made them feel horrified.
"grown ups!"
The yamen runner who led the way yesterday walked forward cautiously, but only heard,
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, this is an illusion, hahahahaha... This is false, it's all a lie... It's fake, all fake."
Looking at the crazy Jiang Bei in front of them, the yamen runners were horrified, but the man in front of them was a big shot whom they could only look up to, so they couldn't just leave him alone.
After testing them, they found that this powerful man was just talking crazy and had no intention of attacking others. So, the group of yamen runners were terrified and half-dragged, half-pull, and even coaxed and deceived this seemingly crazy Lord Jiang back to the yamen.
No one could accept the result that a warrior in the Gangsha realm who had just joined the party turned into a madman the next day. Even the prefect who nominally had the highest power in the city was alarmed.
"Where did Lord Jiang go last night?"
When the prefect who was in charge of the hundreds of people in Anqing Prefecture asked with an expressionless face, the entire government office in the prefecture was silent, as quiet as a cicada, and no one dared to say a word, except the bailiff who led the way.
"Reporting to the Lord, Lord Jiang went to Qingyang Tower last night to look for a young man..."
The bailiff did not dare to conceal it. This kind of thing could be found out if anyone wanted to investigate. His actions last night were not a secret. Rather than waiting to be caught, it would be better for him to confess now.
"Come here, go to the city defense camp to invite Captain Cheng! Go to Changshou Hall and invite Mr. Zhang..."
After understanding the whole story, the prefect remained calm and made arrangements in an orderly manner.
A superior who remained calm and composed immediately dispelled the panic atmosphere caused by the madness of a Gangsha realm warrior.
Although these warriors are very powerful, there are many warriors of the same level in Anqing Prefecture. If necessary, we can even apply to the higher authorities to transfer more powerful warriors to suppress them. There is nothing to worry about.
Under the arrangement of the prefect, several famous old doctors in the city were invited over. Their main purpose was to check what had happened to Jiang Bei, what injuries he had, and to see if his madness could be cured. After all, he had just joined the army, and he went crazy. How could this be possible?
After a diagnosis, several experienced doctors discussed and quickly came to a conclusion. They recommended an old doctor who was already over 80 years old and could be called a centenarian to report to the prefect:
"This gentleman has strong Qi and blood, his meridians are open, and his bones are intact. The only abnormality is his mind. He must have been greatly stimulated. However, given his condition, it shouldn't take long for him to recover on his own. No medicine is needed."
"Can you recover by yourself?"
The prefect was a little surprised. At the same time, the captain of the city defense camp, wearing iron armor, also hurried over with his personal guards. He looked serious and murderous, because he heard that a newly joined warrior in the Gangsha realm had gone crazy.
"Yes, this gentleman is actually conscious, but he encountered something extremely terrifying, so he showed signs of madness!"
The old man has white hair and beard, but a straight back, clear speech and a ruddy complexion. Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is a doctor with great medical skills.
"So he's not crazy?"
The city defense captain who came hurriedly felt relieved, but at the same time he became curious. What had this guy encountered in the city that had provoked him into this state? Even if he had run into a warrior at the Hunyuan realm, he wouldn't have been like this.
"yes!"
The old doctor's tone was very certain. Insanity had been treated before. Although those warriors who had been reborn were different from ordinary people, their roots were the same and there was no difference.
"That would be great, thank you, Mr. Zhang!"
The prefect did not put on airs in front of the centenarian, but bowed and thanked him in a friendly manner.
"It's my job!"
The old doctor was very calm and composed. Having lived to this age, he had no idea how many times he had dealt with the government. Today was considered quite relaxing. He had seen warriors harmed by demons and monsters before, and they were much more miserable than this.
"There shouldn't be anything else for me to do next, so I'll take my leave for now!"
"Please take care, old man. I will send someone to deliver the medical fee later!"
"That's not necessary. Such a strong and vigorous man is not sick at all. Why should I charge him for consultation?"
The old doctor didn't care about the money. He waved his hands, put them behind his back, and walked out casually, leading a group of nervous colleagues out of the government office.
After the group of doctors who came to diagnose the case left, everyone in the government office focused their attention on Jiang Bei, who looked crazy. However, with the diagnosis from the famous doctor, everyone no longer had so many concerns.
"Jiang Bei, where did you go last night?!"
The city defense captain shouted, and at the same time, his voice was mixed with true energy, but it was only directed at Jiang Bei, and the sound was like thunder, exploding beside his ears.
"I went..."
The overly strong stimulation pulled him out of his despair, pain and incomprehension. Jiang Bei, who had no reaction to the outside world, stared at the burly man in iron armor in front of him.
Just when everyone thought that his mind had returned to normal, they saw this warrior, who even the government had to offer high positions and generous salaries to win over, crying and laughing.
"I lost, hahahaha, I lost, I lost to a set of armor, I am a useless person, a useless person, wuwuwu... I am a useless person!"
The prefect frowned and rushed over after hearing the noise. The many officials who came to watch the excitement looked at each other, and finally their eyes were focused on the armor of the city defense captain.
"What are you looking at me for? I just met him today!"
The city defense captain felt confused, as if he had driven the new warrior crazy.
"It's not Lord Jiang, but a powerful warrior who may be wearing armor like Lord Jiang!"
An official made an inference at this moment that although Jiang Bei's words were crazy, they were obviously related to the armor.
"Wearing armor? There are people hiding armor in the city!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the government office suddenly became solemn. Then everyone looked at each other, and they could see the excitement in their eyes.
Hiding armor privately is a serious crime. You don't need to have more than three sets to be charged with treason. What kind of achievement is it to crack a rebellion case? All the staff's promotions are not in vain!
"grown ups!"
At this time, the third group of people sent out by the prefect hurried back. They were responsible for walking the streets and alleys to find out where Jiang Bei went last night and who he contacted with. If possible, they would also check the backgrounds of the people he contacted.
Originally, the prefect did not have high expectations for this third wave of people. As long as they could bring back some useful information, he would be satisfied. After all, a martial artist in the Gangsha realm was scared crazy.
However, he did not expect that this third wave of people would bring him a great surprise, or rather, a shock.
"What? Duke Chengwen's brother!"
After hearing the identity of the person who had contact with Jiang Bei that his subordinates had found out, the prefect stood up from his seat in shock and could not sit still any longer.
"Who is Duke Chengwen?"
The city defense captain asked with a frown. He seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it.
"The number one scholar who won the top six places in the last imperial examination!"
The prefect looked helplessly at the barbarian who held the military power of Anqing Prefecture. He knew that these warriors didn't care much about the affairs of the literati, but if even this one didn't care, it would be too outrageous.
"Number one scholar, that's still quite..."
The city defense captain didn't care at first, after all, there would be a top scholar every three years, which was nothing to him. But he suddenly noticed,
"Sixth place in the imperial examination? Who is it?!"
"Is there another top scholar in our dynasty who has passed the sixth place in the imperial examination?"
The prefect asked back expressionlessly, and the many officials who were originally excited looked at each other in bewilderment. The joy that they had just felt at having solved a major rebellion case also disappeared.
As officials reaching their current positions, they are able to understand some secret information that is unknown to ordinary people . Of course, they are only limited to understanding.
"That person's brother is in our Anqing Prefecture? When did he come?"
The city defense captain was completely confused, how come he didn't know anything about such a person entering the city?
"Yesterday at 15:00, you entered the city and the captain under your command even checked the pass for this young master Feng. At that time, Lord Jiang was still clinging to others and threatening to duel with them!"
The yamen runner who went to investigate reported cautiously.
"Which centurion? How could you not report to me when such a person entered the city?"
The captain was furious. How could such a stupid person appear under his command? Even if it was not the person who came personally, how could the person who had such a close relationship with him be an ordinary person?
"Okay, now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters. Keep talking."
The prefect signaled the yamen runners who had returned from the investigation to continue reporting.
"This Lord Jiang was harassing the Second Young Master Feng yesterday, but he lost him after entering the city. He first went to the government office, and then used his power for personal gain to find the Second Young Master Feng's place of residence. He dueled with him that night, and when he appeared again today, he became crazy just like he is now."
The development of the matter was clear and easy to understand. Those who knew a little about the top scorer in the imperial examination were all very calm at this moment.
Even though the one who attacked was his younger brother, and he frightened a martial artist in the Gangsha realm, isn't this normal? It's not surprising.
"Sir, how should we deal with this matter?"
The captain roughly understood the whole story, and looking at the crazy Jiang Bei, there was a hint of pity in his eyes. This guy, before looking for someone to challenge, didn't he even inquire about the other person's identity?
"Deal with what?"
The prefect asked expressionlessly.
"This Second Young Master Feng..."
"What crime did he commit?"
The prefect interrupted the captain and asked directly.
"That's not the case, it's just..."
Even if he adhered to the principle of officials protecting each other, the captain did not have the courage to cause trouble for the second young master Feng.
This doesn't make sense. After all, this young man followed the rules and only beat up someone who came uninvited late at night. Maybe he hit him too hard and made the person stupid. This can't be said to be wrong in any way.
"Since there is none, then it has nothing to do with this government or the Anqing government office. If the captain is interested, he can visit them on his own!"
The prefect had a blank expression on his face. He could probably guess what Wu Fu was thinking, but before he could do anything, he had to take off his official uniform first. He had no interest in offending anyone.
He had no intention of making friends. If it was someone of similar level, he would be willing to spend some time on him. However, Duke Chengwen did not look like an ordinary person at all. The gap was too big, so there was no point in associating with him.
"There should be a reason for visiting something!"
The captain rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, like a young boy who had just started out.
"Sir, may I bring Lord Jiang back to my military camp? With me, he may be able to recover as soon as possible. Besides, there will be fewer hidden dangers. If he suddenly goes crazy and attacks, I will be able to suppress him!"
"Can!"
The prefect of Anqing stared at the captain for a long while and nodded slowly.
