Chapter 202: Rushing to Yanmen, arresting Wang Rou

Wang residence.

The anxious Li Ru didn't take a carriage, but rode a horse straight to the Wang residence.

It was a coincidence that Duan Yu, who had just searched out the evidence of crimes in Wang Ji's residence, happened to be walking out of Wang Ji's residence with Jia Xu, Tie Shitou, and Wang Hunu.

Wang Ji, who was arrogant just a moment ago, shouting about how sharp his sword was, had now become a phoenix that had fallen from the shelf, and was not even as good as a chicken.

With his head drooping and tied with ropes, the hair bun on his head was disheveled.

There was a huge footprint on his chest.

Facing the iron-like evidence, Wang Ji couldn't argue even if he wanted to now.

So many letters of correspondence with the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and various grassland tribes.

And the accounts of contraband like salt and iron being transported, he couldn't wash himself clean even if he wanted to.

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

"Ziyi!"

Li Ru, whose horse hadn't stopped steadily, waved his hand anxiously on the horse.

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

Li Ru stopped his horse, then dismounted, handed the reins in his hand directly to the soldier behind him, and then walked quickly toward him, carrying his black robes.

Glancing at the miserable state of Wang Ji's residence gate, and seeing soldiers dragging corpses out from inside.

Li Ru's scalp went numb immediately.

But seeing that there were many people around, Li Ru knew it wasn't the place to talk.

So he pulled Duan Yu.

"Ziyi, you are..." Li Ru pulled Duan Yu's sleeve: "The Regional Inspector heard about this and was very anxious, so he asked me to come immediately."

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

But Duan Yu appeared very relaxed: "Mr. Wenyou."

"I have worried you and my father-in-law."

"It's just that the matter was urgent, and there was no time to discuss it with my father-in-law."

Li Ru was stunned upon hearing Duan Yu's words.

Eh?

That's not right.

Listening to this, it seems there is some inside story?

Li Ru was certainly not stupid.

"Ziyi, these words..." Li Ru looked at Duan Yu in confusion.

Duan Yu smiled without explaining, but beckoned to Jia Xu on the side.

Jia Xu bent down and reached out to take a letter from a huge wooden box on the side.

Then he handed the letter to Li Ru.

Li Ru took it with a frown.

Duan Yu beckoned to Tie Shitou.

Tie Shitou held a torch over to illuminate the place.

When the firelight illuminated the letter, and when Li Ru scanned the contents of the letter at a glance, his eyes widened instantly.

Even his hands were trembling slightly.

"This..."

Li Ru raised his head and looked at Duan Yu in shock.

Duan Yu smiled and pointed to the wooden box on the side: "There are dozens or hundreds of letters like this here."

"Besides this, there are records of the salt, iron, and contraband that Wang Rou has transported to the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and various grassland tribes over the years, and there are also the rewards obtained."

"Every transaction is recorded in great detail; I have already had Jia Xu search them all out."

"After returning to the county office, they will be organized."

Li Ru was shocked.

Although he 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 in advance, and the purpose was to come to Wang Rou's residence to collect evidence?" Li Ru asked in shock.

Duan Yu nodded and said: "Mr. Wenyou, you don't know, among the Xiongnu people who were causing trouble on the street that I arrested at the West Market today, one of them is Huchuquan, the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"It was he who confessed and told these things."

"So I gambled that there must be evidence of Wang Rou's secret collusion with the Xiongnu and Xianbei over the years in the Wang residence."

Hiss!

Li Ru took a deep breath.

Huchuquan!

Ordinary people and average people naturally don't know the name Huchuquan.

But he knew.

Huchuquan is the second son of the Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu.

A proper Xiongnu great noble.

Didn't expect...

Didn't expect Duan Yu to have accidentally captured Huchuquan.

However, those Xiongnu people are tough bones; it is not easy to pry open their mouths.

It seems Duan Yu spent some 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 was no evidence of Wang Rou's crimes hidden in this residence, then even if Duan Yu held Huchuquan's confession, trespassing into an Administrator's residence and killing people was a serious crime.

This was completely a gamble.

"Mr. Wenyou is right," Duan Yu accepted Li Ru's suggestion, but then said: "Risk is naturally a bit risky."

"But in this life, isn't it also a gamble?"

Li Ru was slightly stunned.

Duan Yu had heard a sentence in his previous life.

It said that when an opportunity comes, be bolder.

Compared to when there is no opportunity, the success rate of calculating is higher.

If you seek stability in everything, then in all likelihood, you will only be mediocre in this life.

"Mr. Wenyou, I have to trouble you to go back and tell my father-in-law."

"This matter still needs my father-in-law to take action."

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

"But for now, only you, Mr. Wenyou, know the inside story, and I don't intend to leak the news."

"Lest Wang Rou receive the news in Yanmen Commandery and flee."

"Since the matter has been settled, Wang Rou must be captured to be considered perfect."

Li Ru nodded upon hearing this; it should be like this.

Wang Rou colluding with the Xiongnu and Xianbei and transporting salt and iron to the Xiongnu and Xianbei is a serious crime.

But if Wang Rou cannot be captured, it will always be an unsolved case, and it cannot be considered perfect.

Since this major case was solved by Duan Yu.

Then this final period must be drawn by Duan Yu.

"What does Ziyi want the Regional Inspector to do?" Li Ru asked.

Duan Yu took a deep breath and said: "Since this matter has not been leaked yet, I want to take this opportunity, while Wang Rou is unprepared, to capture him."

"Only then can this case be completely and perfectly ended."

Li Ru nodded while listening.

If this case really captures Wang Rou, it will definitely shock Luoyang. ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
