Chapter 427

Time flew by, and several days passed.

It had been five or six days since Duan Yu entered Jixian.

These five or six days had been exceptionally strange for Jixian.

Since Duan Yu entered Jixian on the first day and piled up a Jingguan with over ten thousand Qiang heads in the east of Jixian city, officials throughout Jixian felt a bloody aura blowing into Liangzhou.

The previous Hanyang Commandery Prefect's policy toward governing the Qiang had always been gentle.

But with Duan Yu coming to Hanyang Commandery, everyone realized that the wind was about to change.

Duan Yu's tough methods, combined with the proud and fierce soldiers behind him, and the support of his father-in-law Dong Zhuo.

Plus Duan Yu's title as a tiger general of the age, officials of all sizes in Jixian seemed to have heard the horn of war about to blow.

On the second day after Duan Yu entered Jixian to take office, Inspector Liang Hu claimed illness and stayed behind closed doors.

But everyone knew that Liang Hu had already sent a memorial impeaching Duan Yu to Luoyang.

Liang Hu staying behind closed doors was to avoid his edge.

But what made everyone strange was.

On the second day after arriving in Jixian, after doing some routine work, Duan Yu threw all the affairs to Gai Xun, the Hanyang Commandery Administrator.

And then he also stayed behind closed doors.

It had been five or six days now.

With this, officials throughout Jixian were confused.

They didn't know what medicine Duan Yu was selling in his gourd.

And these past few days, one could always see a large amount of vegetation being constantly transported from outside to Duan Yu's mansion.

Besides vegetation, there were also a large number of livestock.

Pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs.

The most discussed topic in the county government office was what Liang Hu was doing locked up at home.

And what Duan Yu was doing locked up at home.

In front of an idle courtyard in the back of the Prefect's mansion.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stood in front of the door, bored.

There were also many soldiers guarding the surroundings of the courtyard.

The high courtyard walls blocked the view inside tightly.

So much so that one couldn't see what was happening inside from the outside, or what Duan Yu was doing inside.

"It's been five or six days."

Tie Shitou, whose legs were a bit sore from standing, squatted down, held his knees with both hands, and moved his legs, saying: "The General locks himself here every day, and I don't know what he's doing."

"Don't say you want to know; everyone wants to know now."

"Everyone originally thought the General was going to launch a war against the Qiang."

"But there was only one battle when we arrived, and we didn't catch up."

"The newcomers like Lu Bu and Qu Yi have all made contributions."

Wang Hunu looked back helplessly at the tightly closed courtyard door behind him.

Inside the courtyard.

Five days ago, this was an idle, clean courtyard.

It was generally used for the servants and attendants of the mansion to live in.

But since Duan Yu used this courtyard five days ago, it had undergone earth-shaking changes.

All kinds of trees were transported into the courtyard.

The bluestones paved on the ground were all pried open.

Large pits were dug in the ground.

Some of the transported saplings had already been planted.

Others were piled up in the courtyard in a mess.

Besides saplings, there were all kinds of livestock.

Pigs, cattle, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs.

The chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, cattle, and sheep wandering around made this courtyard look like a farmhouse.

Look at Duan Yu.

He was not wearing armor.

He wasn't even wearing his official robe.

He was only wearing a dirt-gray short jacket.

If his figure were a bit shorter and his skin a bit darker.

He would be extremely close to an ordinary person.

At this moment, Duan Yu, under the scorching sun, was holding a whip in his hand.

In front of him was a group of black local pigs.

The pigs were not big, about a hundred catties or so.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck~"

"Cluck, cluck, cluck~"
