Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

"Stone!"

Upon entering the hospital, Duan Yu let out an urgent shout.

The door opened, and Tie Shitou looked at Duan Yu with surprise and waved.

"Brother Duan, you're finally back."

Hearing Tie Shitou's greeting, Duan Yu knew that something must have happened while he was away from home.

Duan Yu then strode forward again and asked, "What's going on? Whose carriage is that at the gate?"

At this moment, Diao Chan also stepped out from behind Tie Shitou.

“My husband…” Diao Chan lowered her eyes, her expression dejected.

Duan Yu understood immediately upon seeing Diao Chan's expression.

It's highly likely that someone from the Wang family has come.

Diao Chan must have known that she had been sold by Li Gou'er to Wang Shi to become a dancer.

Duan Yu took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Tie Shitou quickly stepped aside.

Duan Yu took Diao Chan's hand and then gently stroked her hair.

"It's alright, with my husband here, the sky won't fall down."

Duan Yu smiled as he looked at Diao Chan, then turned to Tie Shitou: "Where are the people from the Wang family?"

"Ah!" Tie Shitou exclaimed in shock, "Brother Duan, you already know?"

Diao Chan looked up at Duan Yu with a face full of surprise: "Husband...you..."

My husband knows!

Diao Chan was utterly shocked.

The clever woman immediately realized that since her husband knew but had never told her, it was undoubtedly to protect her.

Thinking about this made her feel even more guilty.

Ever since she rescued her husband that day, he has been the one protecting her and their family.

Now they've even offended a powerful family in Jinyang City.

But there was nothing she could do.

A pair of warm, large hands grasped Diao Chan's hand.

Looking at Diao Chan, who was biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, Duan Yu silently patted Diao Chan's soft little hand.

“Since you are my wife, Duan Yu, then for a day you will be, and for a lifetime you will be.”

"Don't worry, with your husband here, no one can hurt you."

"No one can do that."

"Stone, take your sister-in-law back to her house."

After saying that, Duan Yu walked towards the room where the people who had come to detain Wang were being held.

.........

Candles have been lit in the room where Zhang, the troupe leader, is being held.

Zhang, the troupe leader, along with two attendants, a coachman, and Li Gou'er, were imprisoned in a room.

When Li Gou'er saw Duan Yu push the door open and enter.

She immediately cowered in the corner, her eyes filled with terror.

Li Gou'er already knew a little about Duan Yu's methods.

Li Gou'er had already learned a little about the Ma family of seventeen, along with the deaths of so many wandering knights, through Diao Chan.

Diao Chan didn't know who did it.

But Li Gou'er knew perfectly well what was going on.

This must have been done by Duan Yu.

In one night, more than twenty, nearly thirty people, were killed.

Li Gou'er didn't know what Duan Yu's abilities were, but there was one thing he did know.

The man before them, Duan Yu, who appeared kind but was actually a ruthless killer, was extremely vicious.

Adding to the resolute words Diao Chan had spoken during the day, Li Gou'er felt as if his life was about to end.

“My dear son-in-law…my dear son-in-law…this really has nothing to do with me, I…I’ve already told you everything.”

"I know I was wrong, my dear son-in-law. Please spare my life. I'll do anything you ask me to do from now on."

"I'll be your slave, I'll..."

Li Gou'er looked at Duan Yu with a terrified expression.

This was the first time that Master Zhang had met Duan Yu.

However, it was clear from Li Gou'er's few words that the young man in front of him must be Diao Chan's husband.

Standing in the room, Duan Yu, who is 1.88 meters tall, made the ceiling of the room appear low.

Master Zhang is not Li Gou'er.

Having lived in the Prince's mansion for so many years, I have naturally seen many important figures.

Therefore, as soon as Duan Yu walked in, Master Zhang realized that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person.

The aura and sense of oppression emanating from him were something that ordinary farmers could not possess.

"Master Zhang?" Duan Yu looked at Master Zhang in a calm tone.

Zhang, the troupe leader who had been sitting on the ground, quickly stood up and bowed to Duan Yu, saying, "This gentleman..."

"My name is Duan Yu, courtesy name Ziyi. You can call me by my courtesy name or my given name," Duan Yu introduced himself.

"Oh, it's Young Master Duan. I am Zhang, the head of the Moon Dance Troupe from the Prince of Jinyang's Mansion..."

Duan Yu waved his hand to interrupt Zhang, the troupe leader, and said expressionlessly, "I know, the Wang family of Taiyuan."

"I have no interest in knowing who Master Zhang's name is."

"I don't care about what happened before, I don't want to ask about it, and I don't want to know."

"Diao Chan is now my wife."

"And Li Gou'er is just my wife's stepfather."

As he spoke, Duan Yu took out a document from his pocket and spread it out in front of Zhang, the troupe leader.

"This letter is the divorce agreement between my wife Ren Diaochan's aunt, Ren Shi, and Li Gou'er. It bears the signatures of the three elders of the village and the officials of the township."

"This proves that the two have already divorced."

Duan Yu methodically placed the documents into Zhang Banzhu's hands.

He then continued, "Li Gou'er and my wife Ren Diaochan are not related by blood; they were only related by marriage before their divorce."

“Now my wife, who is Diaochan’s aunt, has divorced Li Gou’er, completely severing the relationship between the two.”

"Therefore, Li Gou'er's signature and fingerprint, the so-called buying and selling transaction, does not represent my wife Ren Diaochan, or her aunt Ren."

"Since Master Zhang is the head of the Wang family's music and dance troupe, he should be familiar with the law."

Duan Yu's words startled Master Zhang.

Originally, Master Zhang thought that Duan Yu would use coercive methods to make him tear up the contract.

This sudden turn of events was completely beyond his expectations.

this......

Could this be the work of an ignorant young man from a village?

If this is the kind of method and style of doing things, then Master Zhang would completely believe that this is the son of a noble family.

But he alone couldn't believe that this was the work of an ignorant young man from the village.

Duan Yu waited for Master Zhang to finish reading the document.

They then retrieved the documents from Master Zhang's hands.

He personally went to the three elders in the village to obtain the divorce papers the day after he learned of the deal between Li Gou'er and Zhang Banzhu.

Moreover, it was after the response from Diao Chan's aunt, Lady Ren.

As for signing.

Li Gou'er was illiterate, so naturally he didn't know what was written on the document.

Li Gou'er, who was already terrified, did not dare to resist at all.

"This is proof of my marriage to my wife."

"This is the household registration."

“From this day forward, Ren Diaochan will be registered in the Duan family’s household register and will have no connection with Li Gou’er whatsoever.”

"Master Zhang, here is a thousand coins, the deposit that Li Gou'er took from you before."

"Take the money with you. If your master finds out about this, you can tell him directly."

"Although I, Duan Yu, am not from a prestigious family, I am not someone that can be bullied by just anyone."

"If you believe you are in the right and wish to take this to court, I, Duan Yu, will gladly oblige."

"If you want..."

At this point, Duan Yu narrowed his eyes.

In an instant, Master Zhang felt as if the temperature in the room had suddenly dropped.

It was as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast.

Master Zhang was so frightened that he trembled.

Duan Yu grabbed a broken beam about the thickness of a wrist.

Then rise up and exert your strength.

Click!

It was accompanied by a loud explosion.

The beam, as thick as an arm, was crushed by Duan Yu's bare hands.

"If you want to resort to some underhanded tactics, I, Duan Yu, will gladly oblige!"

"But I think..."

“The Wang family of Taiyuan, with Situ Gaodi, Prince Shi should be a person who cherishes his reputation.”

"They probably won't do anything reckless."

Master Zhang's eyes widened instantly.

He was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

It's no surprise that ordinary people know the name of the Wang family of Taiyuan.

After all, the Wang family had been rooted in Taiyuan for hundreds of years, serving as officials in various prefectures and counties.

But how could ordinary people know what official position the head of the Wang family holds now?

It had only been a few months since the patriarch Wang Yun was summoned by the Imperial Court's Minister of Works, and only the prominent families of Taiyuan in Jinyang City knew about it.

How could an ordinary person know this?

The young man before them spoke eloquently, was well-versed in the law, and knew about the Wang family's background.

How could this be an ordinary person?

Something's wrong!

Something's really wrong!

Having thought of this, Master Zhang dared not think any further.

“Young Master Duan… what you say makes sense, makes sense. I was being presumptuous, I was being presumptuous.”

Master Zhang apologized repeatedly.

Duan Yu smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Master Zhang is a reasonable person."

As Duan Yu spoke, he extended his hand.

Master Zhang understood immediately and dared not delay any longer.

He immediately pulled out the contract he had signed with Li Gou'er from his pocket.

Duan Yu took it, glanced at it, and then lit it above the candle flame.

Looking at the burning documents, Duan Yu felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

This scene was actually something he had planned long ago.

What we're after is a show of bravado.

He wasn't afraid if he really had to confront the Wang family head-on.

But the hard-earned foundation may well be lost in the end.

Heading to the next place, I don't know when I'll be able to gain a foothold again.

Therefore, a peaceful resolution would be best.

Fortunately, he also knew some famous figures from the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wang Yun, as the greatest contributor to the killing of Dong Zhuo, also left a significant mark on the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Mentioning Wang Yun's name and his current position was meant to let Master Zhang fill in the blanks himself.

How could ordinary people know these things?

After burning the contract, Duan Yu took out ten gold coins from his pocket.

Since it's all about showing off.

Then it needs to be rounded.

Master Zhang watched in bewilderment as Duan Yu escaped from Shijin.

"It's a pity that Master Zhang made a wasted trip and was even detained for an afternoon because of a misunderstanding."

"Here is ten gold coins, a small token of my respect."

"Master Zhang and his subordinates should have some tea to calm their nerves."

"If we meet again in Jinyang in the future, I will apologize then."

"I'll see Master Zhang out."

As Duan Yu spoke, without waiting for Zhang to refuse, he placed the ten gold coins directly into Zhang's hand and then pushed open the door.

Li Gou'er huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.

.........

Outside the courtyard, Gao Shun was huffing and puffing as he carried things into the yard.

Five trays of gold ingots were stacked together, along with a brocade box containing a precious carved bow, and placed in the courtyard.

As soon as Master Zhang stepped outside, he saw this scene.

His gaze remained fixed on her once again.

Duan Yu smiled and then called out to those behind him.

"Stone, move all these inside and find a place to put them. How can you just leave them lying around like this?"

Gao Shun, who was carrying weapons and armor, rolled his eyes.

"Master Zhang, please."

Duan Yu led Zhang, the troupe leader, past Gao Shun and out of the courtyard gate.

Outside the courtyard gate, the black jade unicorn that Dong Yi had given him, but which Gao Shun had managed to trick him into giving away, was still tied to the oxcart.

When Zhang, the class leader, saw the Ink Feather Qilin Beast, he immediately lost his composure.

Despite being born into the Wang family, Master Zhang still possessed a broad perspective.

The jade Qilin beast is nearly eight feet tall at the shoulder.

Its entire body was covered in black fur, without a single stray hair.

At first glance, it is exceptionally magnificent.

Even the Zhang family had never seen such a Ma troupe leader.

How could an ordinary farmer have that?

A fine horse is hard to come by, even if it costs a fortune.

It refers to a fine horse from Ferghana with a shoulder height exceeding seven feet five inches.

The horse in front of us is clearly over seven feet five inches, almost eight feet.

A horse is seven feet tall, a dragon is eight feet tall.

It refers to horses under eight feet tall as being called horses.

However, horses over eight feet tall are called "dragon steeds".

Especially when he saw a horse tied to a cart pulled by an old ox, Master Zhang became even more agitated.

"Well... I'll leave you here, Young Master Duan. I'll visit you again if I have the chance."

Already quite frightened, Master Zhang quickly resigned.

Duan Yu smiled and replied, "In that case, I won't see you off. Take care, Master Zhang!"

Master Zhang dared not slow down any longer.

He practically jogged to board the carriage, and then sped off in a flash.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Duan Yu's lips curled into a slight smile.

..........

Inside the carriage.

Master Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He never imagined that such a small village would harbor so many hidden talents.

"Master... if we just go back like this... how are we going to explain this to the young master?"

The musician next to Master Zhang asked with a bitter face.

Master Zhang's face darkened.

Explain?

Of course, I told the truth.

How could he possibly handle such a person?

"That's certainly true."

"This kind of person is beyond our ability to handle. If... if the young master is still not giving up..."

"Then let the young master deal with it himself."

He was really scared.
