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

East of Jinyang City.

The residence of Prefect Liu Wei.

Liu Wei had been furious for several days ever since Duan Yu wiped out the bandits of Longshan.

However, they had no way to deal with Duan Yu for the time being.

There was nothing they could do; Li Shanfeng was still alive, and Duan Yu still held leverage over him.

Therefore, Liu Wei could only recommend Duan Yu as the county magistrate of Jinyang, as he had previously agreed with Dong Zhuo.

However, what Liu Wei did not expect was...

Duan Yu surprisingly showed no intention of becoming his enemy and instead sought him out for negotiations.

This surprised him.

He was very happy yesterday.

But just now, he regretted it.

Because at that moment, there was someone standing right in front of him.

Wang Ji.

Wang Ji, son of Wang Rou of the Wang family of Jinyang, was the Grand Master of Yanmen Commandery.

“Lord Liu, these Xiongnu nobles are my father’s guests, and he specifically asked me to take good care of them.”

Wang Ji said angrily, "That Duan Yu can't distinguish right from wrong. He just arrests people without warning and even cuts off my servant's finger."

"This person is so audacious and reckless. As his superior, the Prefect must certainly restrain him more."

"Otherwise, it will implicate the adults sooner or later."

Liu Wei's lips twitched slightly.

What exactly is Duan Yu trying to do?

Today is only his first day in office, and he has already clashed with the Wang family of Jinyang.

this......

This is too bold.

But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right.

Even when Duan Yu was just a village thug, he already dared to challenge Wang Gai.

And they won.

Now that Duan Yu has become the county magistrate of Jinyang, he naturally has become even bolder.

only......

But this matter is a bit troublesome now.

Logically speaking, Duan Yu was a county lieutenant, and the county magistrate was Duan Yu's superior.

Even if Wang Ji had something to do, he should have consulted the county magistrate.

However, the previous magistrate, Chen Ye, had already been killed by Duan Yu and was currently imprisoned.

However, the new county magistrate has not yet taken office.

In Jinyang County today, Duan Yu, as the county magistrate, is essentially the county head.

What bad luck.

Liu Wei thought to himself.

He was still a little scared after being messed with by Duan Yu before, and now Wang Ji wants him to suppress Duan Yu?

He didn't want to go.

“Well…” Liu Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, “Young Master Wang, if those Xiongnu people really did kill people in the street, the situation would be dire. Even if I were to intervene, I would have to uphold justice.”

“Since Young Master Wang said that your father’s Xiongnu guests did not kill anyone, then there is no need to worry.”

"Although Duan Yu's actions are somewhat inappropriate, I presume he won't act recklessly."

"I will certainly oversee this matter."

“If Young Master Wang’s distinguished guests really did not commit murder, then they would never have been forced to confess under torture.”

Wang Ji raised an eyebrow and looked up at Liu Wei.

The meaning of these words is already quite clear.

It's just that Liu Wei doesn't want to get involved.

"Lord Liu..." Wang Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "So, Lord Liu doesn't want to get involved anymore?"

“If Lord Liu cannot make this decision, then I will have no choice but to write to my father,” Wang Ji said with a gloomy face.

Liu Wei's smile remained unchanged.

But inwardly, he scoffed.

You should quickly send your father, Wang Rou, here.

Do you think the Dong Zhuo of today is the same Dong Zhuo as he was a few days ago?

On the day of Duan Yu's wedding, Dong Zhuo announced some news in private.

The news that he was about to be promoted to the position of governor of Hedong Commandery.

Dong Zhuo's patron was none other than the current Minister of Works, Yuan Wei.

The only person who could have transferred Dong Zhuo to Hedong Commandery was Yuan Wei.

What does this mean?

This indicates that Yuan Wei intends to give Dong Zhuo an important position.

It is true that your Wang family is a top-tier aristocratic family in Taiyuan County, and it is also true that two members of your family hold the rank of two thousand shi (a unit of grain measurement).

But the Yuan family of Runan, whose ancestors had held high-ranking positions for four generations, was the greatest.

It's obvious that Yuan Wei values ​​Dong Zhuo highly right now. So what if your father, Wang Rou, finds out?

He didn't want to get involved in this mess.

“Young Master Wang, this is within the jurisdiction of County Commandant Duan. If County Commandant Duan is truly at fault, then as his superior, I will certainly correct him.”

"But County Magistrate Duan is currently investigating this matter, and it is not appropriate for me to interfere rashly."

"How about... Young Master Wang consult with County Magistrate Duan?" Liu Wei said with a smile. "Since Young Master Wang has other matters to attend to, then I will not keep you any longer."

"you......"

Wang Ji's forehead veins bulged as he angrily flicked his sleeve: "Fine, fine, fine."

Frustrated, Wang Ji could only glare resentfully at Liu Wei before turning and walking out of the main hall.

..........

Jinyang County Government.

Since the previous magistrate, Chen Ye, is still imprisoned, there is no new magistrate.

So far, Duan Yu, the county lieutenant of Jinyang County, holds the highest official position.

Inside the county government hall, the middle-aged man's body had been placed in the center of the main hall.

Without even looking at Duan Yu, one could already know how things had unfolded.

These merchants from out of town wouldn't dare to kill someone in the street.

But the Hun must not have killed him intentionally; it was just an accidental killing during the scuffle.

You can tell from the wounds on the middle-aged man's corpse.

Jia Xu, dressed in black robes, stood beside the main hall and said to the merchants, "The county magistrate will take care of this matter for you."

"The dead cannot be brought back to life. You should bury him first, and then return to the inn to await news from the county magistrate."

Just now, these merchants had already given up hope.

They traveled around Jinyang for many years selling furs, so they naturally knew the reputation of the Wang family of Jinyang.

In Jinyang, no one dared to offend the Wang family.

However, Duan Yu's appearance gave them renewed hope.

"Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor."

The group immediately kowtowed.

Jia Xu winked at Tie Shitou, who was standing in front of the main hall.

Tie Shitou immediately led his men to escort the group out of the county government.

As for those few Xiongnu people...

At this point, Duan Yu had already ordered him to be detained in the county dungeon.

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

In the pitch-black dungeon, dim lights illuminated the four corners.

The damp, musty air was mixed with a faint stench of decay.

Duan Yu, dressed in a black official robe, sat down in the execution hall at the deepest part of the prison, with one hand on the sword at his waist.

At this moment, the five Xiongnu people, including the young man who was obviously a Xiongnu nobleman, were all disarmed and bound to the execution rack.

Several people shouted loudly at Duan Yu in the Xiongnu language.

Only the young Xiongnu nobleman remained silent.

Standing behind Duan Yu was Liu Baitu, who was dressed in a black robe and had a slightly thin build.

In addition, ten guards stood on both sides.

Footsteps came from behind, and Jia Xu, who had finished settling the merchants, came over.

"Let's begin." Duan Yu nodded to Liu Baitu.

Upon receiving the order, Liu Baitu stepped forward and took out a long, black package from his pocket.

After walking up to the Xiongnu people, Liu Baitu unfolded the black package on a table covered with the marks of time.

As the package was unpacked, more than a dozen oddly shaped, sharp-edged knives were exposed to the air.

"Today is your first lesson. You can freely apply what I taught you before to them."

"I only want the answer, not the process," Duan Yu's voice rang out.

Liu Baitu glanced back at Duan Yu, then nodded slightly.

Among the four young generals, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and Chen Qing'an have all found their own paths.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu are now his personal guards, and their future direction is already very clear.

Chen Qing'an's expertise in military strategy and troop training has already earned Gao Shun's approval.

Only Liu Baitu.

In terms of fighting prowess, Liu Baitu was not the most outstanding among the four, and his physical condition was also inferior to that of Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

In terms of military strategy, as well as troop training and command, Liu Baitu was not as outstanding as Chen Qing'an.

Perhaps, if Liu Baitu were placed in someone else's hands, he might not be able to find a director.

But it's different when you put him next to someone else.

Liu Baitu is introverted, but extremely meticulous.

Whether it is modern warfare or ancient warfare.

Intelligence is extremely important.

Duan Yu remembered reading a book before that was specifically about intelligence gathering in ancient times.

And it just so happens to be the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Wei had the Jinzou Cao (a government office for submitting memorials), Shu Han had the Junyi Si (a military council office), and Eastern Wu had the Jiefan Ying (a military camp for relieving troubles).

Chaotic times not only produce civil and military officials who can bring peace to the land, but also top strategists who can plan for the future.

Similarly, there is a group of secret agents who work behind the scenes, responsible for gathering intelligence and formulating precise strategies.

The path that Duan Yu chose for Liu Baitu was this very path.

Dead agents!

To be a qualified assassin, one must not only gather intelligence, but also be proficient in essential skills such as assassination, interrogation, and counter-espionage.

However, cultivating such a person is far more difficult than cultivating a military general.

Because very few people are suited for this line of work.

But Duan Yu happened to be an expert in this field.

Perhaps they realized what was about to happen.

The Xiongnu people shouted at Duan Yu in their language.

"I know you understand Chinese!"

"I have three questions. If you can answer them honestly, I can spare you from physical pain!"

"The first question is, what is the purpose of your visit here?"

Duan Yu extended one finger.

The Wang family steward had already said that these Huns were their master's honored guests.

In other words, their visit to Jinyang was related to Wang Rou, the governor of Yanmen Commandery.

If that's the case, then they definitely didn't come here for sightseeing.

"second question."

Duan Yu pointed to the noble Xiongnu youth: "His identity, what's his name?"

"As for the third question," Duan Yu turned his gaze to the young nobleman from the Xiongnu.

Perhaps sensing the cold glint in Duan Yu's eyes, the young nobleman from the Xiongnu trembled.

"What connection do you have with Wang Rou?"

As soon as Duan Yu finished speaking, the Xiongnu people who were cursing angrily in the Xiongnu language immediately fell silent.

The young Xiongnu nobleman's eyes showed even more panic!
