The prefect was puzzled by Liu Feng's intentions.

They were still trying to persuade Liu Feng.

"General Liu, why go through all this trouble...?"

"Your Excellency, there are too many of them involved."

"Why did I bring five hundred elite soldiers here?"

"Is it merely to hear a case in your prefectural court?"

Liu Feng gave a cold shout.

"What I want is justice, and I want everyone to know that my people, Liu Feng's people, cannot be touched."

"I understand, I understand. General Liu, rest assured, we will not let a single one of them escape."

"As the magistrate of Luzhou City, it is my duty to uphold justice for the people under my jurisdiction and seek redress for their grievances."

"General Liu, I will have someone prepare it right away."

The prefect looked at the Emperor's Sword at Liu Feng's waist, then at the five hundred fierce Tiger Roar Army soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers. At that moment, the situation became clear.

Then he glanced at Wang Yuanning and gave him a look.

"What are you all standing there for? Get your people and move the stuff!"

Preparations are underway here in full swing.

Inside the security escort agency, a huge long table was laden with fish and meat.

There were dozens of them, and they drank very painfully.

In a corner at the edge of their hall, there were also many pieces of saltpeter that had been stolen.

"Have you heard? These saltpeter stones are worth twenty taels of silver per stone. This is great! Even if we sell them cheaply, we'll still get several hundred taels of silver."

"Good, good, you did a great job."

"With just this one move, they should know whose territory this is."

"This is just to teach them a lesson. If they don't know what's good for them, next time, we'll wipe them out completely."

The burly man sitting in the middle of the banquet laughed heartily, holding a wine bowl.

"Brothers, salute to the镖局 (bodyguard agency)."

"Cheers, brothers!"

This man's name was Wang Bin. He had a face full of menacing features and looked like a tough guy.

The men he brought with him weren't exactly legitimate bodyguards; they were just some local thugs and ruffians from Luzhou City.

One day, Wang Bin, the leader of these thugs, was inspired by a passing镖师 (bodyguard/escort) and started his own镖局 (escort agency).

They were originally thugs, so when they set up the escort agency, it was a complete mess, with no order or method whatsoever.

If you need to hire them for escort services in an emergency, they usually don't have a set price and will ask for whatever price they want.

If you're entrusting valuable items to them, there's a chance they might rob you along the way.

It is said that once a small merchant hired them to transport grain, and these guys ate almost half of it on the way.

Once they arrive at their destination, the silver will still need to be collected.

Normally, these guys are bullies and tyrants in Luzhou City, even extorting protection money, claiming they'll give them a discount when they entrust their goods to others.

However, there was nothing they could do. They had swords and knives, and these small merchants didn't have the strength to raise their own private armies. So they could only give them some silver or other goods every month under their oppression.

However, these guys only bully these honest merchants.

As for the merchants of the merchant guilds, they certainly wouldn't dare to touch them.

After all, each of the three major families has a private armed force of about 500 men, and wiping them out would be a piece of cake.

However, there are some things that business groups will seek out when it's not appropriate for them to handle them personally.

At this time, the escort agencies would also handle things seriously, but the price would still be quite high.

Logically speaking, this escort agency was actually a group of bandits and should have been dealt with by the government long ago.

However, these guys aren't stupid. They're doing this kind of fraud, but if you investigate, you'll find that the small business owners are doing it voluntarily.

In such a situation, even the government can't do anything about it.

It was a classic case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – one was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit, leaving the government with no choice but to watch helplessly.

These people have committed a grave offense. They thought that the original security escort agency, with no backing or background, would be forced to withdraw after their actions.

But they were wrong. This time, the fate of this group had come to an end.

In the courtyard of the security escort agency, at a huge long table, these people were drinking and having a great time, making jokes without any restraint.

What kind of nonsense is this? They even dare to say that the government has to give them face.

They were still dealt with by us.

Our escort agency is truly the best in the world, and our eldest brother's martial arts skills are superb; he is the real number one.

A series of nonsensical boasts reached Wang Bin's ears.

No one noticed that danger was imminent.

As the footsteps of the army pressed in from outside the courtyard, the five hundred Tiger Roar Army men had completely surrounded the entire escort agency's camp.

Liu Feng walked to the door and kicked the door of the security escort agency open.

To prove his usefulness, Wang Yuanning led a group of yamen runners and was the first to rush in.

"Don't move."

"You, behave yourself."

"When handling official business, everyone must remain still. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be executed without mercy."

The group, who had just been drinking and boasting, were instantly dumbfounded.

Wang Bin, who had been praised so much that he had lost all sense of direction, was now completely carried away by the hype.

Upon seeing Wang Yuanning enter with his men, he immediately threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you cause trouble in my escort agency? Are you tired of living?"
