Liu Feng chuckled.

"Your Excellency, thank you very much."

"Set up a courtroom."

"Slap..."

Of course, Liu Feng did not choose to sit down and go up to hear the case.

This was Liu Feng's strategy; he left the specifics to the prefect.

"Who is standing below, and what brings you here?"

Liu Feng stepped forward.

"Liu Feng, General of the Tiger Roar Army, the number one county magistrate in the land."

"My escort agency is on another mission."

"But they were intercepted and killed by a local security escort agency on the way."

"Yeah?"

"General Liu, do you have any physical evidence to prove it?"

“I am a bodyguard from the Xiaoren Escort Agency, and I am the witness.”

"This bloodstained armor is physical evidence."

Liu Feng chuckled.

"Of course, that's not all. Those saltpeter stones in the corner were originally mine, but they've taken them away."

"Since the stolen goods are all in their escort agency, then the matter is clear."

"As for how to handle this, I would appreciate it if Your Excellency would provide an explanation."

The prefect turned his head and, sure enough, there were still quite a few saltpeter stones in a corner not far away.

He cursed under his breath.

Those bastards, really, they brought back the stolen goods from the high altitude.

Isn't that just courting death?

The people in these security escort agencies can only be measured by the name of an animal.

They are pigs, no doubt about it, absolutely pigs.

"What are you doing?"

What are you doing?

"We only took a little bit of their stuff, didn't we?"

"It's nothing valuable, and it's not worth much money."

"Besides, they started it. We're the ones who handle all the local escort business. It's our business in Luzhou City, our local business."

"Yes, why should we let a foreign security agency steal our business?"

"They're the ones in the wrong, so why are they arresting us?"

Wang Bin seems to still be intoxicated, as he immediately gave himself away when he opened his mouth.

That's tantamount to admitting it.

"Audacious madman."

"To be so fearless and arrogant, they truly don't know what's good for them."

"Witnesses, show me who among these people participated in the robbery."

“These lawless madmen dare to intercept the army’s supplies; I will never forgive them.”

“Especially you, as the chief镖头 (head镖师, a term referring to a bodyguard or镖局, a type of security escort agency), do not know how to restrain your subordinates. You will not be let off lightly.”

In fact, the prefect was well aware that the people of Luzhou had long harbored deep hatred for Wang Bin, but they simply dared not voice it.

Of course, there are also quite a few ordinary people who sue this security escort agency; there are at least a hundred cases related to the agency every year.

However, many cases eventually fizzled out because they simply couldn't be brought to a conclusion.

What kind of bad things haven't the people from this escort agency done?

Today is the best opportunity!

Taking down the people from the escort agency in one fell swoop would please Liu Feng in the short term.

If word gets out tomorrow, all the people of Luzhou City will be grateful to him. Rogge has a good reputation, so why not?

Once the prefect understood this, he immediately became much more assertive.

The tone of voice is different now.

Because such a big thing happened here, the news of the army entering the city had already spread.

So many ordinary people came to watch.

The people peered inside curiously.

Liu Feng did not stop them from watching; in fact, he gave a special order that if any civilians came, they should not be stopped.

Liu Feng had many purposes in doing this. On the one hand, it was to intimidate the people of Luzhou City and let them know that none of his things or his businesses could be touched casually.

On the other hand, it is about establishing a good image in the minds of the people. He is doing this to rid the people of harm, and a good image in the minds of the people is what Liu Feng needs for his next series of actions.

The reason he brought so many people was to establish his authority in one fell swoop.

After all, he would be doing business here in the future, and the four surrounding cities were all strategically important and impregnable.

I'll need it later.

Liu Feng never intended to abuse his power with the Emperor's Sword. He had the right to interrogate everyone in the escort agency.

However, he did not do so, out of respect for the local prefect.

There's a saying that goes, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."

"It was a security escort agency! They arrested the people from the agency."

"These people should have been arrested long ago. They've done so many heinous things."

"That's right. Arresting them today is doing a service to the people. The prefect is a just and upright official."

There's a lot more to Liu Feng's decision to hold a court hearing at the security escort agency than meets the eye.

Actually, the prefect is not sitting in the courtroom now; he is sitting on a ladder.

With him sitting here, his status as the person handling the case is higher, so Liu Yuan is not suspected of suppressing him.

As for the people from these security escort agencies, they're completely finished now.

Therefore, when the common people outside talked about it, they all praised the prefect's keen insight.

Moreover, every word of these words reached the ears of the prefect.

"Yes, to rid the people of this scourge, I, the official, will stand up for you today and rid the people of this scourge."

"Guards, this man is their leader, the bandit chief. Execute him on the spot immediately."

"As for the others, arrest them all according to their certified testimonies, put them in jail, and sentence them at a later date."

"No, they will all be executed in the autumn."

With a single sentence from the prefect, the fate of these people was decided.
