"Old Master Shen, Student Liu, Boss Xu, Third Master Sheng...all of you come and take a look!" Squad Leader Lou called over a dozen reputable people in the city to examine the government records.
After examining the records as if they were treasures, the dozen people shouted to the gathered citizens, "Vice Magistrate Qi is right. Since the beginning of Western Qin—no, since before Great Shang—the land inside and outside the Longshan Mountain Range has been ours. Don't be fooled by the Rong bandits' spies; they deliberately lie to cause trouble!"
After listening, the crowd finally realized their folly and cursed the malicious Rong bandit spies.
Magistrate Hao wiped off a cold sweat; that Rong bandit spy was indeed clever. First, he applied poisonous insects onto himself, making the citizens fear his spectacle. Then he spoke words of ghostly retribution, causing the superstitious and fearful population to believe him.
