~7 min read 1,304 words

Following this, Duan Yu ordered the Wang residence to be sealed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and then dispatched the four generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Wang Fang, and Li Meng to leave Jinyang City from the west and go to the various manors of the Wang clan outside Jinyang City.

Duan Yu's series of actions.

Made this night in Jinyang City exceptionally noisy.

Administrator Liu Wei, Dong Zhuo, and the major scholar-official clans of Jinyang City all received this news immediately.

Liu Wei, upon receiving the news that Duan Yu had led troops into the city and headed straight for the Wang residence, immediately sent someone to tell Dong Zhuo.

After nightfall, Dong Zhuo had just hugged his concubine and lay down to rest when his door was knocked on by a maid.

Upon learning that Li Ru said there was an urgent matter, Dong Zhuo couldn't care about the concubine who was acting coquettishly on the bed, so he draped a black cloak over himself, puffed out his general's belly, and came to the council hall in the middle courtyard.

Accompanied by two maids, as soon as Dong Zhuo entered the council hall, he saw Li Ru pacing anxiously in the hall.

"Wenyou, why are you so distressed?" Dong Zhuo immediately asked Li Ru.

Li Ru, who was in the hall, raised his head, and the expression on his face could not have been uglier.

"My Lord, big... big trouble."

"Disaster has struck."

"Ah?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned on the spot.

Li Ru had followed him for many years, and they had experienced many big and small things.

To make Li Ru so panicked, Dong Zhuo knew without guessing that it must be some earth-shattering event.

So, Dong Zhuo took two quick steps.

"Wenyou, do not panic, tell me in detail what happened."

Dong Zhuo was not someone who hadn't seen big storms and waves, and he knew that the more major the event, the more one needed to be calm.

But clearly, Li Ru could not calm down.

"My Lord, it is... it is Ziyi."

Li Ru told Dong Zhuo everything that happened at the market in the afternoon.

Dong Zhuo was a bit surprised to hear it, but didn't have much of a reaction.

If it were in the past, he would have been wary of the Jinyang Wang clan.

But now the situation was clearly different from before.

Yuan Kui personally transferred him to Hedong Commandery and entrusted him with important responsibilities.

His current backer is the Runan Yuan clan.

He was no longer as wary of the Jinyang Wang clan as he used to be.

But what Li Ru said next made Dong Zhuo's jaw drop.

"My Lord, if Ziyi had really just arrested a few guests of the Wang clan, it would be fine, not a big deal."

"But after nightfall, Ziyi led five hundred Liangzhou soldiers from the west camp to enter the city directly, and surrounded the Wang residence."

"Just when Liu Zijian sent the letter, Ziyi had already led troops to break into the Wang residence!" Li Ru widened his eyes.

"What!"

Dong Zhuo was so shocked that he stood up abruptly from his seat.

"What did you say?"

"You said Ziyi led troops to surround the Wang residence, and even broke into the Wang residence?" Dong Zhuo asked in disbelief.

Li Ru nodded quickly.

Dong Zhuo was numb.

This...

This...

Is his son-in-law crazy?

Leading troops to trespass into an Administrator's residence, if there is no legitimate reason, that is a capital crime punishable by beheading.

Not to mention his current backer is Yuan Kui, no one can protect Duan Yu now.

The Jinyang Wang clan is the leader of the scholars in Taiyuan and even the entire Bingzhou.

Duan Yu's behavior offends not just the Jinyang Wang clan, but the entire Taiyuan scholar-official class, the entire Bingzhou scholar-official clan.

The hometown cliques and party members of the Wang clan will not allow such a person to exist.

No!

"Someone, prepare the horses quickly, I want to go see what this kid is trying to do."

"Is he trying to poke a hole in the sky?" Dong Zhuo said anxiously.

"Slow down, my Lord!" Li Ru quickly reached out to stop Dong Zhuo: "My Lord, it is not appropriate for you to show your face at this time."

"If you show your face at this time, and the matter involves too much, you might get implicated as well."

Dong Zhuo said anxiously: "Then this brat is in trouble, how can I not care?"

Li Ru shook his head and said: "My Lord, that is wrong; if you can stay out of it, if Ziyi really has some trouble, you can think of ways from the outside."

"If you get implicated as well, who will save you and Ziyi then?"

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized and understood what Li Ru meant.

"My Lord, do not be anxious."

"How about this, I will go first," Li Ru said: "I will go find Ziyi and see what Ziyi is trying to do."

"Then you can make a decision later."

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath to calm his mood and nodded.

"That is all we can do."

"Wenyou, go quickly, you must find out what this brat is trying to do."

"If..."

"If it is really just because of a private feud, then pass on my words, tell this brat to leave Jinyang overnight, and take Yi'er back to Liangzhou."

Li Ru nodded: "My Lord, rest assured, this subordinate will go now."

At the same time, the Wang residence in the west of the city.

This Wang residence is not Wang Rou's residence.

It is Wang Yun's residence.

"Young Master, Young Master, good news, good news!"

In the main hall of the front courtyard, Wang Gai was sitting in the main hall drinking wine in a good mood.

Ever since Chen Ye was imprisoned last time, the Longshan bandits were all wiped out, and even Administrator Liu Wei was rebuffed and suppressed by Dong Zhuo and Duan Yu, Wang Gai had been staying behind closed doors.

Not to mention losing face in front of everyone.

The main thing was that Wang Gai was scared.

Hearing that Duan Yu had beheaded all three hundred Longshan bandits and placed the three hundred heads outside Jinyang City, Wang Gai knew this was Duan Yu's warning to him.

Because of a songstress, such a big thing was triggered.

County Magistrate Chen Ye was even imprisoned because of it; Wang Gai couldn't help but be afraid.

He thought about writing to his father in Luoyang.

But thinking that it was because of a songstress and dancer that these things were triggered later, if his father knew about this, he would definitely scold him.

If things went wrong, he would be made to go to Luoyang.

If he really went to Luoyang, he would lose his freedom.

So, after thinking left and right, Wang Gai still felt that he couldn't tell his father about this matter.

The ridicule of his companions and Duan Yu, who was promoted to Jinyang County Lieutenant after the great victory, made Wang Gai feel he couldn't hold his head up.

So, he simply stayed behind closed doors.

He didn't believe it; would Duan Yu really dare to kill his way into their residence?

As for why he was in a good mood.

That was because in the morning, Wang Gai learned that Duan Yu had arrested Wang Ji's guests at the West Market.

A few days ago, Wang Ji mocked him behind his back, and this matter naturally reached his ears.

But nothing happened; he didn't dare to go out, fearing he would really meet Duan Yu on the road. ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
