“Impossible, this is impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could such a monster exist in this world!”

The sky was just beginning to turn pale at dawn in Anqing Mansion. On the streets, the vendors who had got up early to prepare for a day’s business were watching with curiosity, a ragged man with a haggard face stumbling along the streets.

The man looked as if he had been ravaged by a dozen strong men all night. His clothing, originally of excellent material, was now in tatters. But curiously, on the exposed parts of his body, not a scratch was to be found.

“He must be some disappointed man who has spent the night in the brothel!”

Watching the mad, babbling man, a vendor took a glance and then lost interest. He would rather tend to his stall, the source of food for his entire family, than pay attention to others. “He looks so pitiful, like he’s gone mad!”

“He must’ve suffered some kind of blow!”

“Speak softly, don’t agitate him!”

A man behaving in such a mad manner was hard to ignore. Wherever he went, people would glance at him and whisper a few words. But they all lowered their voices, for no one wanted to provoke a madman.

Soon, Yamen Runners were notified and rushed to the scene. However, when one of them took a closer look at the mad man, he screamed in shock,

“Officer Jiang!”

Seeing someone recognized him, the Yamen Runners who had rushed to the scene all looked at their colleague.

“What Officer Jiang?

“You know him?”

The Yamen Runner who had led Officer Jiang the day before was now sweating profusely, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

He feared that this big official had gotten himself into trouble, so he stayed in the Official Residence all night and patrolled the streets early in the morning with his colleagues.

But to see Officer Jiang in this state was enough to strike fear into him.

“This is the newly appointed Officer Jiang from yesterday!”

The Yamen Runner’s voice was trembling.

“What? That Officer Jiang?!”

All the other Yamen Runners were shocked. They knew a strong warrior had joined their Anqing Official Residence. His martial prowess was far superior to most. But the warrior, who had just joined them yesterday, had descended into madness today. The news sent chills down their spines.

“Sir!”

The Yamen Runner, who had guided him the day before, carefully approached him, but all he heard was,

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. It’s an illusion, haha… It’s all fake, all lies… Lies, it’s all lies.”

Seeing Officer Jiang acting mad in front of them, the Yamen Runners were horrified. However, they couldn’t ignore him because he was a highly respected figure.

After probing and finding out that the formidable official was only talking nonsense and had no intention of attacking anyone, the anxious Yamen Runners half-dragged, half-led the deranged Officer Jiang, using both coaxing and deception, back to the Official Residence.

A warrior who had just joined and turned mad by the second day, everyone found this outcome unacceptable. Even the highest-ranking official in the city, the Prefecture Judge, was alarmed.

“Where did Officer Jiang go last night?”

When the Prefecture Judge, who governed all citizens in Anqing Mansion, asked the question emotionlessly, the entire Official Residence was silent, not daring to make a sound, except for the Yamen Runner who led the way.

“Sir, last night Officer Jiang went to the Qingyang Tower seeking a young master…”

The Yamen Runner didn’t dare to hide anything. Such a matter would inevitably come to light if investigated. His actions last night were not secret, and it would be better to admit it now rather than wait for it to be discovered.

“Send for Commander Cheng from the city defense camp! Send to Longevity Hall for Old Master Zhang…”

After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, the Prefecture Judge calmly made the arrangements with stony emotions.

A composed and calm superior official had effectively reduced much of the nervous atmosphere brought about by the madness of a warrior.

Though this warrior was strong, there were others in Anqing Mansion at the same level. And if necessary, a stronger warrior could be requested to come from above for support. There was nothing to worry about.

Under the Prefecture Judge’s order, the famous elderly doctors from across the city were invited over. The main objective was to examine Officer Jiang to determine what had happened and if he had suffered any injuries. Furthermore, they were to see if they could cure his madness. After all, he had just joined, and then went mad. How unthinkable was that?

After a detailed examination and consultation, the experienced old doctors quickly reached a conclusion. A very old doctor who was considered a living treasure in the field was elected to report to the Prefecture Judge:

“This gentleman’s Qi and blood are robust and the meridians are unblocked. His bones are in perfect condition. The only anomaly is his mind. He seems to have received an immense shock. However, given his condition, he should recover soon on his own, without the need for medication.”

“He will recover on his own?”

The Prefecture Judge was a bit surprised. At the same time, the iron-clad Commander Cheng from the city defense camp arrived with a serious face and a deadly aura, as he had heard that a newly-joined warrior had gone mad.

“Yes, this gentleman’s mind is actually clear. It’s just that he has encountered something terrifying, causing him to show symptoms of madness! ”

The old man had white hair and a straight posture. His speech was clear, and his face was ruddy. Just looking at him, one could tell he was a highly skilled doctor..
