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

Jinyang West Market.

As the weather gradually warms up, more and more people from the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Tu Ge tribes from outside the Yin Mountains come to sell their furs.

The West Market of Jinyang was originally a livestock market for trading cattle and horses, so it naturally became a market for trading furs.

Duan Yu, accompanied by Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and twenty personal guards, hurried towards the West Market.

On the way, Jia Xu was explaining the cause of the matter to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu originally thought that the Wang family Jia Xu mentioned was the Wang family of Qi County, which is the same family as Wang Yun.

The reason for this thought is that the two had a conflict before because of Chen Ye and Diao Chan.

Therefore, Wang Gai might cause trouble when he takes office.

However, what Duan Yu did not expect was...

This Wang family is not the Wang family of Qi County, but the Wang family of Jinyang.

"Wang Rou, as the governor of Yanmen Commandery, had very good relations with the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Tu Ge tribes."

Duan Yu walked in front of Jia Xu, one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

It is not uncommon for border prefects to be on good terms with foreign tribes.

Making friends with other ethnic groups is also a means of maintaining peace.

For example, his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, had a very good relationship with the various Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou.

However, the Wang family of Jinyang and Dong Zhuo were different.

While befriending the Qiang people, Dong Zhuo also maintained a strong military presence to deter them.

However, it is clear that Wang Rou was merely the governor of Yanmen and did not possess strong military power.

It was not enough to make the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Tu Ge tribes wary.

Therefore, if Wang Rou was on good terms with the Xiongnu and Xianbei, then there must have been some kind of exchange of interests behind it.

As for what kind of exchange it is, it is not clear at the moment.

Inside the West City.

At this moment, a dozen or so short Huns dressed in animal skins were surrounding and protecting a young Hun.

Outside the perimeter stood several county government officials with straight swords at their waists.

The area was surrounded by a large number of Han Chinese merchants, as well as Xianbei and Tuoge tribes.

Beside the group of Hun gods who were being watched by several officials, stood a middle-aged man in a gray robe.

In addition, a middle-aged Han Chinese man was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

Three companions, who appeared to be Han Chinese, squatted beside the middle-aged man's corpse, their expressions filled with anger as they looked at the middle-aged man in the gray robe and the dozen or so Xiongnu people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

"The county magistrate has arrived."

"Get out of the way!"

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu shouted loudly to disperse the crowd.

The crowd that was watching from the outside immediately made way for them.

Duan Yu, with one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, frowned as he walked through the crowd.

Upon seeing Duan Yu's figure, the young Xiongnu man, who was being protected by a large group of Xiongnu people, immediately showed a look of panic.

He then lowered his voice and said something to the middle-aged Han man in a gray robe standing to the side.

The middle-aged Han man smiled disdainfully, shook his head with a slight upturn of his lips, and ignored Duan Yu completely.

Twenty guards pushed through the crowd, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Duan Yu walked through the crowd of onlookers and arrived at the scene.

They saw Han Chinese lying on the ground, as well as young Xiongnu people being protected.

"What's going on?" Duan Yu asked after he stopped.

Upon seeing Duan Yu in his official robes, and with some saying he was a county magistrate, the deceased Han Chinese companion immediately pointed to the young Xiongnu man behind him and said, "Sir, he is the murderer!"

"We are merchants from Guanzhong, here to sell furs in Jinyang."

"Just now, we negotiated the price of a truckload of sheepskins with their people."

"The money had already been given to them, and they were about to unload the cart and take the sheepskins when this young Xiongnu man suddenly returned."

"They said they wouldn't sell it to us."

“My elder brother said that since we’re not going to sell, we should get our money back.”

"But they denied that we had paid them and accused us of trying to steal the hides, so they started pushing and shoving each other."

"My elder brother was furious, so he started fighting with them."

"it's him!"

A man squatting next to the middle-aged man's corpse pointed to the young Xiongnu man being protected by many Xiongnu people and said, "He killed my elder brother with a dagger."

"My lord, please do us justice."

“This is Han Chinese land, yet the Xiongnu people are here committing violence and murder, and engaging in forced buying and selling.”

"Please, Your Honor, do us justice!"

Duan Yu raised his gaze and looked at the group of Xiongnu people.

He then raised a hand and said, "Take them all down. If they resist, kill them on the spot!"

“Take them all back to the county government.”

"slow!"

Just as Duan Yu finished speaking...

The middle-aged man in the gray robe, who had been standing next to the Xiongnu, stepped forward.

Then, he clasped his hands in a slight bow to Duan Yu, and then raised his head arrogantly and said, "County Commandant Duan, is that right?"

"My surname is Wang, and I am from the Wang family of Jinyang."

"Regarding him."

Butler Wang looked at the man who had just spoken and said, "What he said is only one side of the story."

"His brother's death has nothing to do with these guests of my family head."

"He claims that my master's guest committed the murder, but do you have any evidence?"

"Or did someone nearby see it?"

As he spoke, Butler Wang glanced around.

In an instant, most of the onlookers lowered their heads.

The majority of the onlookers were merchants from the West Market or out-of-town merchants who had come to purchase furs.

There were also some residents of Jinyang City.

If you're talking about fearing the Xiongnu, that's not the case.

But the Wang family of Jinyang.

These four words felt like a mountain pressing down on us.

They wanted to make a living in Jinyang City.

Offending the Wang family of Jinyang is tantamount to cutting off one's own path to survival.

The steward's words were quite clear: these Xiongnu people were friends of the head of the Jinyang royal family.

Who is the head of the Wang family?

Wang Rou, General of the Hunnic People and Prefect of Yanmen Commandery.

Who in Jinyang City would dare to offend him?

He noticed the lowered gazes around him.

Butler Wang was even more pleased with himself.

He turned his head and smiled slightly at the young Xiongnu man.

The young Xiongnu man breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as Butler Wang was showing off the Wang family's power...

Duan Yu simply waved his hand.

The people and merchants of Jinyang City were probably afraid of the Wang family.

Even the county officials of Jinyang County were afraid of the Wang family.

But who are Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu?

They didn't know any of the Wang family of Jinyang; they only knew one person.

That's Duan Yu.

"Take him down." Duan Yu said coldly, "Whether or not someone was killed is not up to you, a mere steward."

"It is up to me to decide!"

At Duan Yu's command, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu drew their straight swords without hesitation and charged straight at the group of Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu people panicked immediately upon seeing this.

One by one, they reached for the weapons at their waists.

"Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!" Duan Yu said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Xiongnu people panicked even more.

The young Xiongnu man looked pleadingly at Steward Wang.

Butler Wang raised his sleeve and pointed at Duan Yu: "Duan Yu, how dare you!"

"This is Jinyang, not a place for you to run wild..."

brush!

A cold light flashed.

While Butler Wang was still in a daze, the extended finger fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

Duan Yu had already sheathed his sword.

"For insulting an official of the imperial court, this person shall be taken back to the county government for questioning."

"I now suspect you of colluding with foreign tribes, disrupting trade, and insulting an official of the imperial court!"

"Order!"

Tie Shitou didn't care about anything else and stepped forward, kicking the groaning butler Wang to the ground.

Whether this is Jinyang or Yanmen County, it is always the land of the sons of Han.

The Xiongnu killed people on the territory of the Han people.

The hot-blooded Tie Shitou had long wanted to make a move.

"You dog! You eat the food of the Han people, yet you speak for the Xiongnu dogs!" Tie Shitou grabbed Steward Wang.

Duan Yu's gaze swept over the group of Xiongnu people.

The young Xiongnu man was clearly not stupid; he knew that if he dared to make a move now, the consequences would be dire.

So he quickly spoke something to the people around him in the Xiongnu language.

The Huns who were touching their weapons then lowered their hands.

"it is good!"

"Well done, Lord Duan!"

"Lord Duan is mighty!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

This immediately sparked a reaction from the crowd, with cheers erupting one after another.

The Xiongnu and the Han people were sworn enemies.

Especially the people in the border counties.

Although the Xiongnu and Xianbei nominally submitted to the Han Dynasty.

But it was only a superficial submission.

Every year, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Tu Ge tribes raided the border regions.

Countless Han Chinese sons and daughters were buried by the Xiongnu, dying far from home.

Wang Hunu, accompanied by twenty personal guards, disarmed all the Xiongnu people and then escorted them to the rear county government.

As for the body of the murdered middle-aged man and his companions, they all went to the county government together.

............

East of Jinyang City.

Wangfu.

boom!

A beautiful ceramic bowl was smashed on the ground.

Wang Rou's eldest son, Wang Ji, stood up angrily at the kneeling servant in front of him and shouted, "What did you say?"

"How dare Duan Yu do this?"

The kneeling servant nodded hurriedly: "Young master, the people and merchants in the West Market all witnessed this, and I dare not lie."

"Duan Yu cut off one of Steward Wang's fingers, then disarmed all of the young master's guests and arrested them, taking them back to the county government."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ji was so enraged that his eyes practically spit fire.

“I didn’t cause him any trouble, but now he’s causing me trouble.”

"Didn't Butler Wang say that he was a guest of the Wang family?"

"I did," the kneeling servant hurriedly replied. "But Steward Wang did, but Duan Yu didn't listen."

"They also said... they also suspected that Steward Wang was secretly colluding with foreign tribes, disrupting trade, and insulting officials of the imperial court!"

Wang Ji gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes: "An official appointed by the imperial court?"

"He, Duan Yu, a mere county magistrate, has become an official appointed by the imperial court."

"Men, prepare the carriage. I want to see what Duan Yu is up to."

"How dare you!"

Wang Ji angrily flung his sleeves and walked out of the mansion.
