As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders of the caravans, including Lu Zhao and several others in the Joint Fleet who were unaware of the situation, looked at Hu Lushou with expressions of amazement and newfound respect.
"Wow, so Boss Hu had his reasons for collecting tolls!"
"I misunderstood you before."
"Boss Hu is truly noble!"

Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan exchanged glances and both smiled secretly.
They thought to themselves that this guy played his cards right, not only clearing his own name but winning over people's hearts by putting on a good show.
