After saying this, Zheng Tu lowered his head and knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He thought about all the evil he had done and how the general would deal with him. The others also knelt down, trembling.
"He's a scoundrel, he's an animal!"
"My God, what terrible things have they done to lives? Are they even human?"
"General, could this magistrate be a monster? How could a human do such things!"
The surrounding people also cursed and swore, and the women couldn't help but shed tears.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Wang Han turned to the two county magistrates and asked.
"You're making baseless accusations! Where's the evidence?" Upon hearing this, the arrested magistrate immediately replied, "Without evidence to prove that I ordered it, you cannot convict me."
"You want evidence? It's simple." Upon hearing this, Wang Yan sneered, flipped his hand, and produced a fist-sized crystal. He said with a cold smile, "Do you know what this is called?

However, I will keep you with me until we return to the capital. I believe you can still catch many big fish for me as bait."
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the county magistrate's face turned ashen.
"Take them away and keep them under strict guard," Wang Han immediately ordered. He then said to Zhong Shidao, "General Zhong, now that I've arrested them, the rest is up to you. Also, send a few dozen soldiers and find about ten cages to make a temporary home for them." (This refers to the confiscation of property, the arrest of subordinates and accomplices, the lack of management at the county office, and other trivial matters such as reporting to the imperial court.)
