Moshan County, South City Gate.
Dozens of garrisoned soldiers stood guard at the city gate, their vigilance high.
All pedestrians, carriages, and horses entering or leaving the city were subject to meticulous inspection, their identities verified one by one.
Anyone with even a hint of suspicion about their identity was to be registered, or even arrested on the spot for further interrogation.
During the day, it was nearly impossible for any unidentified person to enter or leave Moshan City unnoticed.
At night, all the city gates were closed and a curfew was enforced, making passage in or out of Moshan City even more difficult.
The security was so tight it felt as if a rebel army was about to attack Moshan City.
But within the borders of Moshan County, there were hardly any bandits or outlaws, let alone a rebel army.
The common folk just assumed there had been a demon disaster, and the County Magistrate was worried about refugees causing trouble.
