Chapter 189

It's just that this matter is a bit troublesome now.

Logically speaking, Duan Yu is the County Commandant, and the County Magistrate is Duan Yu's direct superior.

Even if Wang Ji has something to do, he should look for the County Magistrate.

But the previous County Magistrate Chen Ye has already been killed by Duan Yu and is currently detained in the big prison.

And the new County Magistrate has not yet taken office.

Now in this Jinyang County, Duan Yu, this County Commandant, is the head of the county.

Bad luck.

Liu Wei said to himself.

He was still scared by Duan Yu before, and now Wang Ji wants him to suppress Duan Yu?

He doesn't want to go.

"That..." Liu Wei hesitated and said: "Young Master Wang, if those Xiongnu nobles really killed people on the street, then the situation is serious. Even if I come forward, I must uphold justice."

"Since Young Master Wang said that your father's Xiongnu guests didn't kill anyone, then there's no need to worry."

"Although Duan Yu's actions are a bit improper, I think he won't mess around."

"I will definitely supervise this matter."

"If Young Master Wang's guests really didn't kill anyone, then they will definitely not be forced to confess."

Wang Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Wei.

The meaning of these words was already very clear.

It was that he, Liu Wei, didn't want to care.

"Magistrate Liu..." Wang Ji narrowed his eyes and said: "In that case, Magistrate Liu doesn't want to care?"

"If Magistrate Liu can't make this decision, then I can only write to my father." Wang Ji said with a gloomy face.

The smile on Liu Wei's face did not diminish.

But he sneered in his heart.

Go ahead and let your father Wang Rou come.

Do you think the current Dong Zhuo is still the Dong Zhuo of a few days ago?

On the day Duan Yu got married, Dong Zhuo privately announced a piece of news.

The news of his upcoming promotion to Prefect of Hedong Commandery.

Dong Zhuo's patron is the current Minister, Yuan Kui.

The only person who could transfer Dong Zhuo to Hedong Commandery is Yuan Kui.

What does this mean?

It means Yuan Kui is going to heavily use Dong Zhuo.

It's true that your Wang family is a top noble clan in Taiyuan Commandery, and it's true that you have two officials earning two thousand shi.

But are you bigger than the Runan Yuan clan, who had three dukes in four generations?

Clearly, Yuan Kui values Dong Zhuo highly now; even if your father Wang Rou knows, what can he do?

He doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

"Young Master Wang, this is within the scope of County Commandant Duan's authority. If County Commandant Duan really made a mistake, then as his superior, I will definitely correct it."

"But now County Commandant Duan is investigating this matter, so it's not easy for me to intervene rashly."

"Why don't... Young Master Wang go and discuss it with County Commandant Duan?" Liu Wei said with a smile: "Since Young Master Wang has something to do, I won't keep you."

"You..."

The veins on Wang Ji's forehead bulged, and he flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Fine, fine, fine."

Wang Ji, who had suffered a setback, could only glare at Liu Wei resentfully and then walked out of the main hall.

Jinyang County Government.

Because the previous County Magistrate Chen Ye is currently detained in the big prison and there is no new County Magistrate.

So far, Duan Yu, this County Commandant, has the highest official rank in Jinyang County.

In the main hall of the county government, the body of the middle-aged man had been placed in the middle of the main hall.

Duan Yu knew the process of the matter without even looking.

These merchants from other places would never dare to kill people on the street.

But that Xiongnu person must not have killed intentionally either; it was just an accidental killing during the pushing and shoving between the two sides.

One could tell from the wound on the middle-aged man's body.

Jia Xu, wearing a black robe, stood beside the main hall and said to several merchants: "The County Commandant will make the decision for you."

"The dead cannot be brought back to life. You should bury him first, and then go back to the post house and inn to wait for the County Commandant's news."

Just now, these merchants had already given up hope.

They had been wandering in Jinyang for years selling furs and naturally knew the reputation of the Jinyang Wang family.

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

And Duan Yu's appearance made them see hope again.

"Thank you, official lord, thank you, official lord."

Several people kowtowed one after another.

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

Tie Shitou immediately took people to send them out of the county government.

As for those few Xiongnu people.

At this moment, they had been directly ordered by Duan Yu to be detained in the dungeon inside the county government.

In the pitch-black dungeon, dim lights were lit in the four corners.

The damp and moldy air was mixed with a faint stench of rot.

Duan Yu, wearing a black official robe, pressed the sword at his waist with one hand and sat in the execution hall in the deepest part of the dungeon.

At this moment, five Xiongnu people, including the young man who looked like a Xiongnu noble, were all disarmed and bound to the execution rack.

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

Only the young Xiongnu noble remained silent.

Behind Duan Yu stood Liu Bai Tu, wearing a black robe and looking slightly thin.

Besides that, there were ten personal guards standing on both sides.

Footsteps came from behind, and Jia Xu, who had settled the merchants, walked over.

"Start." Duan Yu nodded at Liu Bai Tu.

Liu Bai Tu, having received the order, stepped forward and took out a long black package from his bosom.

After walking to the front of several Xiongnu people, Liu Bai Tu spread the black package on a desk filled with traces of time.

As the package unfolded, more than a dozen uniquely shaped, sharp-edged small knives were exposed to the air.

"Today is your first lesson. You can use everything I taught you before on them."

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

Liu Bai Tu looked back at Duan Yu and nodded gently.

Among the four small generals, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and Chen Qing'an all had their own paths.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu were now his personal guard team leaders, and their future development direction was already very clear.

And Chen Qing'an had been recognized by Gao Shun in terms of military strategy and training soldiers.

Only Liu Bai Tu.

When it came to fighting, Bai Tu was not the most outstanding among the four, and his physical condition was not as good as Tie Shitou or Wang Hunu either.

In terms of military strategy, training soldiers, or leading troops, Liu Bai Tu was not as outstanding as Chen Qing'an.

Perhaps, if Liu Bai Tu were placed in someone else's hands, he might not find his strengths.

But it was different when placed by his side.

Liu Bai Tu had an introverted personality but was extremely meticulous.

Whether it was modern warfare or ancient warfare.

Intelligence was extremely important.

Duan Yu remembered a book he had read before, which was specifically about ancient intelligence gathering. ===== CHAPTER 191 =====
