Those who have undergone the rat transformation want to use rumors to destroy the public trust in Mingjiang Prefecture.
He, Zhou Xuan, intends to stabilize the public trust. Being at the center of the rumors, he must become the spokesperson himself— I, Zhou Xuan, am upright and honorable, unafraid of people's gossip.
Along the way, he ran into some familiar townsfolk and would stop to chat casually.
"Sir, there's some chaos tonight; many people are slandering you."
"It's just rumors. In Mingjiang Prefecture, there are some killers who are half-rat, half-human. These people don't want our Mingjiang Prefecture to be well; naturally, they want to smear me. Of course, there are also some not-so-smart people who believe whatever others say. They're very foolish."
"Those people are truly vile, consuming your food and drink, yet spreading those malicious rumors about you. I just heard someone spouting nonsense, and I slapped him right away."
