I Became the Owner of the Heavenly Flower Palace

The sudden mention of the word 'treason' caught Jincheon's attention.

The merchant who brought it up quickly tried to calm his interlocutor.

"I've heard it too, just rumors."

The merchant tried to back out, but it was too late. The middle-aged man lowered his voice in alarm.

"Treason in Anhui, what if it spreads to Nanjing?"

Nanjing is the center of politics and logistics in the South. Though it doesn't compare to the capital, Beijing, its impact is significant.

However, Jincheon was skeptical.

'Treason? In Anhui?'

Treason isn't easy. It would require either the support of the populace or enough military power to incapacitate the central government in one fell swoop.

'It can't be possible, can it?'

There's no significant armed force in Anhui Province. Capturing Nanjing would be serious, but as long as Beijing remains stable, suppression would inevitably follow.

'Could it be just a rumor?'
