No news is small news in Shu State.
By midday, the events that took place in West Market's Heiyu Lane had spread like wildfire.
One rumor claimed that some reckless fools from Poshisu Country had been indiscriminately killing innocents in Heiyu Lane, angering the spearman who then killed them with a single thrust of his spear.
Another said the spearman had accepted a bounty from Bright Moon Building to kill the men from Poshisu Country for a reward.
Yet another claimed the man from Poshisu was a horse bandit, one of the horse bandits under the Peacock Banner led by King Landu.
This version said the spearman had hunted him down for revenge because the bandit had killed his friends or family on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
The theories were endless, with every sort of story being told.
Some busybodies even gave the spearman the title "Dragon Spear."
Such a resounding title was well-received by the people of the Jianghu.
