Chapter 1016: Tiger Might!【2】

That night, in the main hall of the Dunhuang County government.

Duan Yu sat upright in the main seat.

Standing behind him on the left and right were Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng stood in front of the door outside the hall.

The entire county government was now completely occupied by Duan Yu's personal guards.

Outside the hall, Gai Xun was leading a group of people walking toward the main hall.

The group following Gai Xun were all dressed in gorgeous clothing, their hair combed neatly, and even their beards were meticulously groomed.

Every detail of their belts, jade pendants, and gait had been perfected to the extreme.

It felt as if they were about to enter the palace to see the Emperor.

But their faces were filled with worry and trepidation.

Duan Yu.

Nowadays, there is no one in Liangzhou who does not know this name.

A tiger general of the age, Marquis of Ji, with a fief of ten thousand households.

A truly great Marquis of Ten Thousand Households of the Great Han.

And ever since Duan Yu became famous, he had been invincible and victorious in every battle.

And now, on top of this reputation, another item was to be added.

That is, cruelty.

Although everyone following Gai Xun knew why Duan Yu had slaughtered the Huang clan, the Cao clan, and the Suo clan.

But knowing is one thing.

No one had expected that Duan Yu would actually dare to do it.

And dare to do it so thoroughly.

In just over ten days, the ten clans and eight families had all been slaughtered by Duan Yu.

Just the number of heads of direct descendants beheaded exceeded ten thousand.

This did not even count those who were implicated.

Extermination of the clan.

Duan Yu's behavior was almost equivalent to exterminating the clan.

The cruelty of his methods was simply unprecedented.

Therefore, although they had not participated in funding Beigong Boyu, knowing more or less about it, everyone did not even dare to open their residence doors.

Even though they knew Duan Yu was in the county government.

They did not even dare to beg for mercy.

Until Gai Xun came.

This was a signal.

A signal that was still considered friendly to Dunhuang.

As fellow Dunhuang noble clans, they would more or less have some connections with each other, large and small.

The Guangzhi Gai clan was also the largest noble clan in Guangzhi and one of the top noble clans in Dunhuang.

Therefore, on the second day after Gai Xun arrived in Dunhuang.

Everyone found Gai Xun.

When Duan Yu first entered Liangzhou, Gai Xun was still under Liang Hu.

In order to save Duan Yu's family, Gai Xun disobeyed Liang Hu's orders.

Although at the time, Gai Xun's approach seemed a bit unworthy.

But looking back at it now.

Gai Xun's approach at the time could be described as far-sighted.

Gai Xun, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, and others became the first batch of people appointed by Duan Yu after he came to Liangzhou.

They were also the batch of people Duan Yu trusted the most under his command in Liangzhou today.

Starting with Gai Xun to find out Duan Yu's situation was the main purpose of the Dunhuang noble clans' visit.

It was precisely because they had obtained a definitive answer from Gai Xun that these people dared to meet Duan Yu.

Otherwise, who knew if they would become the next Huang Juan who took the initiative to deliver himself to the door.

Gai Xun, in his official robes, smiled as if bathed in the spring breeze, leading the way in front of everyone.

"Everyone, there is no need to be restrained; the Marquis is actually very approachable in his daily life."

Gai Xun said with a smile: "The Marquis himself also comes from Liangzhou and is one of our own; as for the Huang clan and the Cao clan, that was also something the Marquis had to do out of helplessness."

"If the Huang clan and the Cao clan had not touched the Marquis's bottom line, how could the Marquis have done such a thing?"

"Besides, the Marquis is also carrying out the Emperor's orders."

"In the future, when the Marquis governs Liang, he will still use Liang to govern Liang, so you don't need to worry too much."

Gai Xun smiled and appeased everyone's emotions.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Gai is right."

"That's right, it was the Cao clan's own problem, and the Marquis had no choice but to do so."

"We still need Lord Gai to speak a few good words for us."

The crowd following Gai Xun said one after another.

Gai Xun nodded with a smile and agreed: "Easy to say, all easy to say."

Soon, the group arrived in front of the county government hall.

But as soon as they walked into the hall, the group, whose mindset had just been slightly adjusted, were so scared that they dared not approach any further.

The reason was none other than this.

It was because on the steps on both sides of Duan Yu's feet, there were two massive black tigers with eyes as large as copper bells lying there.

There were white stripes on their shiny black fur.

Their massive heads were turning to look at the crowd walking in from outside the hall.

The crowd, seeing the black tigers, were so scared that they almost retreated from the main hall.

The method of Huang Juan's death had already reached everyone's ears.

Huang Juan, who thought he had settled Duan Yu, welcomed Duan Yu in Guzang.

As a result, he was directly gnawed on by Duan Yu's mount, the black tiger, in front of countless people. ===== CHAPTER 1018 =====
