"General, these criminals have been captured. Please decide their fate." Yang Zhi and the others followed closely behind Lu Da, almost one after the other, upstairs. As soon as they reached the top, they kicked the thugs who were with Zheng Tu to their knees and held knives to their necks.
"Great General, spare us! Generals, spare us!" These men were already terrified and their courage had completely vanished. After kneeling down upstairs, they saw several generals and immediately began to beg for mercy.
"General, the heartless shopkeeper has also been captured. Please decide his fate: should he be chopped up or skinned alive?" Soon, Lu Han arrived as well. After going upstairs, he kicked the shopkeeper, who had already been beaten black and blue, to the ground. Lu Han then prostrated himself before Wang Han and joined forces with Madam Zheng Tu's group.

“General, you wouldn’t be thinking of… This is unacceptable. Those people cannot be killed, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to His Majesty.” Zhong Shidao looked at Wang Han and advised him.
"Aren't you afraid? Or has General Zhong become so timid and cowardly?" Upon hearing this, Wang Han replied, "I'll handle these matters; I'm confident in my abilities."
"It is General Yi." Upon hearing this, Zhong Shidao said helplessly.
Jin Cuilian and her father were somewhat confused. Weren't their enemies already here? And the ringleader? How come they didn't know about him? But since their benefactor said to wait a little longer, they decided to wait.
