Brother Hai and Brother Wei heard the man implicate them and immediately denied it.
"Old Hu, don't you dare make baseless accusations. We were on duty here last night and handed over our shifts at dawn. There are people who can vouch for us. You're maliciously slandering Lord Dengfeng. Could it be that you're a Human Faction spy?"
