As Zhou Zhilu's voice fell, the field suddenly fell silent.
An old man walked out from the crowd of onlookers. It was Wang Ren, who ran a pharmacy.
He trembled and said, "Master Feng, I'm going to ask you a question. Is what this gentleman said true? My son...did he end up like that after eating that red crystal?"
Feng Yuan ignored him and continued to laugh, "Master Zhou, everyone can tell a story, but does the Fuye Division rely solely on storytelling to solve cases? Where's the evidence? What are you talking about without any evidence?"
Zhou Zhilu said sarcastically, "Captain Feng really won't cry until he sees the coffin. Fine! Then I'll list them all for you!"
After saying that, Zhou Zhilu walked into the crowd, grabbed a man by the collar, pulled him out, and then threw him to the ground.
When everyone looked at the ground, they saw a man with a bruised face and nose sitting on the ground. He was actually the manager of the factory under Feng Yuan Escort Agency.
"He should be familiar to Head Biao Feng. He's the factory manager Zhang. He's the one who sold the Red Crystal to Wang Qian. He's also one of your many assistants who's secretly responsible for promoting the Red Crystal!"
After Zhou Zhilu finished speaking, Zhang Guanshi, who was lying on the ground, saw the situation and immediately kowtowed to Zhou Zhilu and Lou Yunxiao, saying, "My Lords, I am guilty! But I was forced to do it by Feng Biaotou, and I dared not resist!"
"Bastard! You are simply slandering me!" Feng Yuan became furious upon hearing this and threw the big knife in his hand towards Manager Zhang.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu stepped forward and stood in front of Manager Zhang, and the long sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed and used to block in front of himself.
"clang!"
Zhou Zhilu was so shocked that he took two or three steps back before steadying himself. He then raised his head and sneered, "Don't be impatient, Chief Feng. This is just the first piece of evidence. Are you going to give up?"
"The second piece of evidence is your fabricated lie! I asked Qingxue to conduct an investigation. From the capital to the surrounding counties, there is no such thing as a branch escort agency. Humph! Where did all those people who were so-called successful candidates go?
"Every time someone wins a spot, the county will conduct a demon extermination campaign shortly afterward. Lord Lou, don't you find that strange?"
Lou Yunxiao replied with a look of shock, "You...you mean, those demons are actually transformed from people who ate red crystals?"
Zhou Zhilu looked at Lou Yunxiao's expression and asked calmly, "Master Lou, don't you know?"
Lou Yunxiao said angrily, "How would I know? If I knew, how could I allow Feng Yuan to harm the people?"
Zhou Zhilu waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Escort Captain Feng, you deceived the people under the pretext of going to work at a branch escort agency. Now dozens or even hundreds of people are missing. For this alone, the imperial court can punish you!
"Of course! If you think the above evidence is not direct enough, then do you dare to let us search your escort agency?"
Feng Yuan snorted coldly, "Why not? My escort agency is at your disposal..."
"Underground in the backyard."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Zhilu suddenly interrupted.
Then, when Feng Yuan heard these four words, his eyes suddenly widened and his face became ferocious in an instant.
Zhou Zhilu laughed and said, "Captain Feng, you are too cautious. When you learned that Qingxue and I knew about Hongjing from Li Yu, you wanted to get rid of us directly, but you were afraid that the matter would cause too much trouble, so you invited us to your house for dinner and then took the opportunity to act.
"We came here just as you wished, but unfortunately... you let us escape in the end. Moreover, I was allowed to see your yard full of demonic energy. Countless demonic energy emerged from the ground. I guess... those red crystals of yours were made in that underground!"
Feng Yuan was shocked and said, "You can see the evil spirit?!"
Zhou Zhilu laughed and said, "If it were anyone else, they might not have noticed it. What a shame, Big Escort Feng. Now that we have witnesses and evidence, what else can you say?"
During the standoff between the two, Lou Yunxiao put his hands behind his back, gestured behind him, and then shouted sternly, "Feng Yuan! How dare you do such a heartless thing and harm the people of Yancheng County? This is truly an unforgivable crime!"
Following Lou Yunxiao's accusation, the people around him also began to shout and curse, pointing at Feng Yuan and saying foul language, and among them, there were also many shrill cries.
“Hehe…hehehahaha…hahahahahaha!”
Seeing this, Feng Yuan suddenly laughed, and his laughter gradually became more arrogant, and finally he laughed out loud towards the sky.
Then, with a look of disdain on his face, he suddenly shouted at everyone, "Yes! I did sell them the red crystal, but business is a voluntary agreement between two parties! They buy, we sell!"
"Did I force them to smoke red crystals? Did I? I didn't! They wanted to smoke them on their own! Who asked them to buy it?
"They had a rough life, they were stressed, empty, and sad! I just gave them the option to be happy... and they died in the end, that's what they deserved!"
After Feng Yuan finished speaking, the people around him became furious, and Wang Qian, who was originally lying on the ground, roared and pounced on Feng Yuan again with bared fangs and claws.
However, Feng Yuan dodged it easily. He then raised his hands and said with a smile, "I surrender. However, according to the reward given to me by the court, you have no right to punish me. You can only escort me to the capital."
Zhou Zhilu frowned when he heard this. Looking at Feng Yuan, he seemed to be quite fearless.
Feng Yuan smiled wantonly and looked at Lou Yunxiao beside him.
Lou Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.
However, at this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from Feng Yuan's Escort Agency.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred deep in the escort agency. In an instant, rocks flew everywhere and even the ground shook slightly.
