In the streets and alleys, at taverns and teahouses, rumors permeated the air.

"What? That can't be true, can it?"
"Can't be true? Su She, the president of Jubao Business Association, accidentally stumbled upon their conspiracy just outside the city. As a result, he was killed on the spot! The ones who did it were King Qin Guang and Wang the Coroner. They also silenced the coachman from the Bao family's carriage service!"
