"You two go out first and find Captain Lan."
Du Feng sent Feng Leizi and Bi Yun away first. Their identities would not be a problem. If there was a problem, it would definitely be him.
"Captain Du, welcome to my East Harbor City. Sorry for not going out to greet you."
As expected, as soon as Du Feng's identity was revealed, Shi Nanjin walked over immediately. If it weren't for Rong Tianyi's people, he would have rushed into the hotel and caught the person. The owner was really bold, refusing to reveal the identity of the person staying in the hotel no matter what.
Therefore, Shi Nanjin deliberately chose today as the boarding day to verify the relevant information of all the people leaving the city. The captain of the city defense of Stony Plain City, a Level Five Formation Master, just checked into the hotel the day before yesterday. After reading these few pieces of information, he immediately locked onto him. No wonder he was so bold as to bully Shi Nanjin's son. No wonder Captain Yin personally led his men there, but still fell into the maze. Du Feng's background was really not weak.
"Look, that's Captain Du from Stony Plain City. He's a big hero."
As soon as Feng Leizi and Bi Yun left the city, they saw that Du Feng was detained. They already knew what was going on, so they took the lead to shout.
"So he's Captain Du. My nephew was saved by him."
"Yeah, my nephew also owes a lot to him."
Many residents of East Harbor City had relatives in Stony Plain City. Those who hid in the hotel from the outer city and survived, as well as some young people in the inner city who came out to make money, all survived because of Du Feng, so they naturally remembered his kindness.
With Feng Leizi and Bi Yun leading the way, many residents came over, including the explorers who were preparing to go out to sea. Seeing so many people speaking up for Du Feng, Shi Nanjin's face darkened. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, he didn't dare to attack Du Feng for no reason. After all, he wasn't the castellan, but the deputy chief captain of the city defense team. Above him were the chief captain, the deputy castellan, and the castellan.
"Captain Du, I've heard about what happened in Stony Plain City, but my son doesn't need you to teach him a lesson, does he?"
Shi Nanjin was also someone who cared about his reputation. He had an official position and was a Void Sea Realm martial artist. If he let Du Feng go like this, how was he going to show his face in East Port City in the future?
"I'm afraid I'm not the only one who knows about Young Master Shi's actions in East Port City."
Du Feng's words were very clear. Your bastard son is so tyrannical, he actually dared to break into a room and extort a guest. The foreign explorers probably suffered a lot from him, but they didn't dare to say anything. As soon as he said this, the crowd whispered among themselves, but no one dared to stand out to testify for Du Feng.
"Captain Du, do you have any evidence to accuse my son?"
"You brutally killed ten city guards and harmed my Shi Manor's servants. The evidence is conclusive."
"Guards, arrest the criminal Du Feng. I'd like to see what your castellan will say. "
Even if Du Feng really broke the law, Shi Nanjin didn't have the right to execute him. He needed to hand him over to the castellan's residence first. Di Ming happened to be there, and before the castellan, Xie Qifan, showed up, Du Feng would be executed.
"What's going on? Why did Captain Du kill people in our East Port City?"
"Is it because of a personal grudge?"
After all, Du Feng saved many people in Stony Plain City, and he had a good reputation. Now that he was suddenly accused of killing people, everyone was guessing the reason.
"Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Maybe it's because of a woman."
"That Young Master Shi is a womanizer. Maybe the two of them fought because of this."
The more people discussed, the more mysterious the story became. After a while, they made up a story about how Du Feng and Young Master Shi fell in love with the same woman at the same time. In the end, Captain Du made a move first and brought the woman back to the inn. Young Master Shi brought people to the inn to snatch the woman, and both sides fought. Young Master Shi was a womanizer all day, and a weak boy like him was no match for Captain Du. Not only was he kidnapped, but his bodyguard, Sang Biao, was also killed. Even ten of the city guards that Captain Yin brought in died because of this.
"Sigh, what a pity!"
"Yeah, no matter what, Captain Du is a real man."
More and more people gathered to watch, and they came up with many stories. Although they found many excuses for Du Feng, the kidnapping of Young Master Shi and the killing of the city guards seemed to have been confirmed. This was East Port City, not the wilderness. No matter what the excuse was, killing people in the city would always be punished.
"They say that women are the source of trouble. Do you believe it now? Stay away from that Miss Hong in the future."
There were even parents who used Du Feng's incident to educate their children. Such a good man, who saved countless people in Stony Plain City, but broke the law because of a woman in East Port City.
"Wait!"
Just as the city guards were about to surround them with weapons, Du Feng suddenly spoke.
"Captain Shi, you said that I killed someone, and you even said that the evidence is conclusive. Then I have to show everyone the evidence."
"Otherwise, even if I die, I won't be able to rest in peace. I believe that Captain Shi won't be able to convince the public."
Du Feng did not draw his sword to fight back, but stood there with a sense of righteousness. His back was ramrod straight, as if he had nothing to fear.
"You want the evidence? Sure."
Shi Nanjin gave the order, and immediately, eleven corpses were carried up. Ten of them were the bodies of the city guards. They were either cut in half or had their heads chopped off. There was also the body of Young Master Shi's bodyguard, Sang Biao. His body had been cut countless times, and he died of bleeding.
"Wow, he really killed someone."
"Captain Du is really ruthless. Look at Sang Biao, all the bones in his body are broken."
Many people who had been bullied by Sang Biao felt relieved at this moment. Usually, because of the presence of Young Master Shi, they dared not speak up. Now that someone dared to kill Sang Biao, it could be considered as helping them vent their anger.
"It's very satisfying, but I'm afraid that Hero Du will have to plead guilty this time."
"Yes, it's a pity. It would be better if he did it outside the city."
Many people felt sorry for Du Feng. If this had happened in the wilderness or in the middle of the sea, it would have been impossible for Du Feng to survive. Even if Shi Nanjin had great power, he would not be able to trace Du Feng. A hero who fought against the demonic beasts in Stony Plain City and saved so many lives was now going to be executed by the rules set by the City Lord Mansion. The onlookers also felt it was a pity.
"Is this the evidence that Captain Shi said?"
Du Feng was not in a hurry, and his eyes were fixed on Shi Nanjin.
"Why is it not enough? These people were not killed by you, Captain Du. Did they commit suicide?"
Shi Nanjin was so angry that his hair stood on end. The corpses were clearly in front of him. So many people saw them enter Du Feng's room, but they still dared to deny it.
"Yes, they committed suicide."
