When Fu Hanwen and Xiao Ruo's group arrived at "Wanlin City," the smallpox epidemic had been contained, but it was still evident that the outbreak here was far more severe than in "Yuanjun City." Just then, reports of citizens contracting smallpox emerged from several locations near "Yuanjun City," plunging the entire Cangming Country into panic.
Upon hearing the news, Cang Mofeng immediately executed the main culprit, Cang Xulin.
However, Cang Mofeng charged Cang Xulin with treason, making no mention of the smallpox situation.
Though Cang Xulin was dead, he was still a royal descendant, indifferent to the lives of citizens in his pursuit of the throne. As a father, Cang Mofeng bore responsibility for inadequate discipline. Once this news spread, it would cause the citizens to lose faith in the entire Cang Family Clan, and some might take advantage of this to rebel against the Cang Dynasty.
