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

Wangfu.

Anxious, Li Ru didn't take a carriage, but rode a horse directly to the Prince's Mansion.

As luck would have it, Duan Yu, who had just gathered evidence of Wang Ji's crimes at his residence, was walking out of the residence with Jia Xu, Tie Shitou, and Wang Hunu.

Just moments ago, Wang Ji was arrogant and boasted about the sharpness of his sword. Now, he had become a fallen phoenix, even less than a chicken.

His head was drooping, bound by ropes, and his hair was disheveled.

There is also a huge footprint on its chest.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Wang Ji could no longer offer any excuses.

So many letters exchanged between the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and various tribes of the grasslands.

There are also accounts related to the transportation of contraband such as salt and iron, which are impossible to clean up now.

Wang Ji also knew that once this matter was reported to Luoyang, the Wang family would be finished.

"Ziyi!"

Before his warhorse had even come to a complete stop, Li Ru was already waving anxiously from his horse.

Duan Yu looked in the direction of Li Ru's voice.

Li Ru stopped his horse, then dismounted and handed the reins to the soldier behind him. He then strode forward, carrying his black robe.

He glanced at the horrific scene at the gate of Wangji's mansion and saw soldiers dragging corpses out from inside.

Li Ru's scalp immediately tingled.

But after glancing around at the many people and their distractions, Li Ru knew this wasn't the place to talk.

So he helped Duan Yu out.

“Ziyi, what’s wrong…” Li Ru tugged at Duan Yu’s sleeve: “Lord Fang was very anxious when he heard about this and sent me here immediately.”

"Ziyi, you...you're so confused." Li Ru's expression was extremely ugly.

But Duan Yu seemed quite relaxed: "Mr. Wen."

"I'm sorry to have worried Mr. Wen and his father-in-law."

"It was just an emergency, and I didn't have time to discuss it with my father-in-law."

Li Ru was taken aback when he heard Duan Yu's words.

Huh?

its not right.

Judging from this, it seems there's more to the story?

Li Ru was certainly not stupid.

"Ziyi's words..." Li Ru looked at Duan Yu in confusion.

Duan Yu smiled but did not explain. Instead, he waved to Jia Xu, who was standing to the side.

Jia Xu bent down, reached into a large wooden box, and took out a letter before walking over.

Then he handed the letter to Li Ru.

Li Ru frowned as he took it.

Duan Yu waved to Tie Shitou.

Iron Stone came over with a torch to illuminate the place.

When the firelight illuminated the letter, and Li Ru scanned its contents line by line, his eyes widened instantly.

Even his hands were trembling slightly.

"this....."

Li Ru looked up at Duan Yu in shock.

Duan Yu smiled and pointed to the wooden box next to him, saying, "There are dozens or even hundreds of letters like this here."

"In addition, there are the salt, iron and contraband that Wang Rou has transported to the Xiongnu, Xianbei and various tribes on the grasslands over the years, and there are also the rewards he received."

“Every single entry is recorded in great detail, and I have already had Jia Xu collect them all.”

"I'll get everything sorted out once I get back to the county government."

Li Ru was shocked.

Although I only read one letter.

But from the contents of the letter, he already knew what Wang Rou had done.

"Ziyi, you...you knew about this beforehand, and you came to Wang Rou's residence to collect evidence?" Li Ru asked in shock.

Duan Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Wenyou, you may not know, but one of the Xiongnu people I caught in the West Market today who committed violence in the street was Huchuquan, the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"He confessed to these things."

"That's why I'm betting that there must be evidence in the palace that Wang Rou has been secretly colluding with the Xiongnu and Xianbei all these years."

hiss!

Li Ru gasped.

Huchuquan!

Ordinary people and the average person would naturally not know the name Huchuquan.

But he knew.

Huchuquan was the second son of Qiangqu, the Xiongnu Chanyu.

He was definitely a high-ranking nobleman of the Xiongnu.

did not expect......

Unexpectedly, Duan Yu accidentally captured Hu Chuquan.

However, those Xiongnu people were tough nuts to crack, and it wasn't easy to get them to talk.

It seems Duan Yu put in a lot of effort.

“Ziyi…this is indeed a bit too risky,” Li Ru said.

Although Duan Yu successfully collected evidence of Wang Rou's crimes this time.

But it was still too risky.

If there is no evidence of Wang Rou's crimes hidden in this mansion, then even if Duan Yu has Hu Chuquan's confession, it would still be a serious crime to lead troops into a prefect's mansion and kill someone without authorization.

This is pure gambling.

“Mr. Wen is right.” Duan Yu accepted Li Ru’s suggestion, but then added, “It is indeed a bit risky.”

"But isn't life itself a gamble?"

Li Ru was slightly taken aback.

Duan Yu had heard a saying in his previous life.

They say when the opportunity comes, be bolder.

The chances of success are much greater when you have no opportunity at all, even if you plan carefully.

If you always seek stability, you'll likely only live a mediocre life.

"Mr. Wen, I would like to trouble you to go back and tell my father-in-law."

"This matter still requires my father-in-law's intervention."

Duan Yu looked at Li Ru and said, "I suppose by tomorrow morning, all the gentry in Taiyuan City will know about this."

"But as of now, only Mr. Wen knows the inside story, and I don't intend to reveal it to anyone."

"To prevent Wang Rou from fleeing after receiving the news in Yanmen County."

"Now that things have been settled, we must capture Wang Rou to make it perfect."

Li Ru nodded upon hearing this, "That must be the case."

Wang Rou secretly colluded with the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and traded salt and iron with them, which is a serious crime.

However, if Wang Rou cannot be apprehended, it will remain an unsolved case, and it cannot be considered a perfect solution.

Since it was Duan Yu who solved this major case.

The final period should still be drawn by Duan Yu.

"What does Ziyi ask Fangbo to do?" Li Ru asked.

Duan Yu took a deep breath and said, "Since this matter has not yet been leaked, I will take this opportunity to capture Wang Rou while she is off guard."

"Only in this way can this case be brought to a complete and satisfactory conclusion."

Li Ru listened and nodded.

If Wang Rou is arrested in this case, it will definitely alarm Luoyang.

It became a shocking case.

Can be imagined.

If Duan Yu, a mere county magistrate, can successfully handle this case, it will surely reach the ears of the emperor.

Becoming famous is inevitable.

Bold, meticulous...

It's really hard to estimate Duan Yu's future achievements.

"The faster we act now, the higher our chances of success will be."

"Therefore, I want to ask my father-in-law for some more troops to go to Yanmen and capture Wang Rou."

It was Jia Xu who suggested that we go to Yanmen Pass to capture Wang Rou.

Only by personally apprehending Wang Rou can this case be truly closed.

Besides that, there's another thing.

He still has someone in his grasp.

Huchuquan was the second son of Qiangqu Chanyu of the Xiongnu.

As the son of Qiangqu Chanyu, Huchuquan's wealth could not be low.

If this case were to end at this point, the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu would certainly have to be handed over.

Whether Hu Chuquan is sent to Luoyang or one of the Three Dukes of Luoyang takes over the case, his contribution will at most be a promotion opportunity.

This clearly did not meet his expectations.

Taking such a big risk only to get a promotion is not worth it.

However, if Wang Rou is captured and sent to Luoyang along with Hu Chuquan, it would be a good opportunity.

The result would then be clearly different.

Perhaps he will be able to see Liu Hong in Luoyang at that time.

Li Ru nodded after hearing this: "Alright, I'll go back and report to Fang Bo right away."

"Ziyi is waiting for my message at the county government. I'll be there and back soon," Li Ru said.

Duan Yu nodded and then bowed respectfully, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Wen!"
