Chapter 710

~6 min read 1,027 words

The reason Zuo Feng hadn't interrupted them just now was that he was waiting to see them make fools of themselves.

Wang Yun looked at Duan Yu with extreme unwillingness.

Finally, he turned his gaze away in defeat.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song also had nothing left to say.

The first battle and first merit they had fought with all their might to snatch was now just a joke.

What was there to present to Luoyang?

And they wanted to submit a memorial to impeach Duan Yu.

It was all just a joke.

Avoiding a reprimand would be good enough.

Duan Yu held the Imperial edict and looked at Wang Yun.

"Inspector Wang." Duan Yu called out Wang Yun's name: "Since Inspector Wang has nothing to say, then this General will say a few words."

Wang Yun raised his head abruptly; for some reason, an extremely ominous feeling spread through his whole body.

And Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song also focused their gazes on Duan Yu.

What was Duan Yu going to do?

Was he going to rub salt in the wound after getting the advantage?

"General Duan, don't go too far." Wang Yun gritted his teeth and said: "Let's not discuss right or wrong for now, but since you have already won, there is no need to show off."

"Show off?"

Duan Yu looked at Zuo Feng and said: "Am I showing off?"

"You misunderstood; what I want to tell you is another matter."

After saying this, Duan Yu clapped his hands and said: "Shitou, bring those letters and the confession up, and also, bring that person up as well."

Letters?

Confession?

That person?

Wang Yun frowned, not understanding what Duan Yu meant by this.

Zuo Feng also looked at Duan Yu with some confusion.

"General of the Van... what is this?"

Zuo Feng blinked, as if to say whether this was going a bit beyond the script they had set earlier.

Duan Yu gave Zuo Feng a reassuring look.

Not long after, just as everyone was wondering what Duan Yu was going to do.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and two of Duan Yu's personal guards escorted a disheveled person into the hall.

"Kneel!"

Tie Shitou shouted coldly.

Then he kicked the person in the knee joint.

Wang Du, who was kicked, fell to his knees on the ground immediately.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song all looked at Wang Du.

It was just that Wang Du was a bit disheveled at this moment, his long hair disheveled and covering his face.

Duan Yu looked at Wang Yun with a smile.

Before reporting the military merit, Duan Yu had not sent Wang Du to Luoyang together.

The main worry at the time was that Luoyang might have been prepared in advance.

And he didn't know when he would be able to reach Yingchuan.

If he couldn't finish off Wang Yun in one go, or if he let Wang Yun escape.

That would have gone against his original intention.

Therefore, to kill a snake, one must strike its seven inches.

This time, he was going to directly resolve the trouble that was Wang Yun.

"Raise your head and let the Inspector see if he recognizes you." Duan Yu said.

Wang Du, with his head lowered and disheveled, raised his head.

But even so, Wang Yun only recognized Wang Du after carefully identifying him several times.

"You are... Wang Du?" Wang Yun looked at Wang Du with a frown.

Wang Du nodded.

For a moment, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Zuo Feng all looked at Wang Yun.

Duan Yu naturally wouldn't bring such a person for no reason.

"Hehe." Duan Yu smiled and said: "Since the Inspector recognizes this person, then there can be no mistake."

"I thought he was slandering the Inspector."

"Shitou, hand his confession to Eunuch Zuo."

Tie Shitou took Wang Du's handwritten confession and thumbprint to Zuo Feng and handed it to him.

Wang Yun subconsciously looked at the so-called confession in Zuo Feng's hand.

An ominous premonition filled his whole body instantly.

Wasn't Wang Du serving as the Assistant County Magistrate in Dong'e County, Dong Commandery?

Before he fled from Luoyang, he had even gone to Dong'e County.

After Zuo Feng received Wang Du's confession and thumbprint, he scanned it at a glance.

When he finished reading the content, Zuo Feng's eyes widened immediately.

"Wang Yun, you have such great courage!" Zuo Feng shouted in a shrill, sharp voice: "You actually dared to instigate others to collude with the rebel soldiers!"

"Men, take this traitor down!"

At Zuo Feng's order, several Feathered Forest Guards in the hall rushed toward Wang Yun immediately.

The expression on Wang Yun's face turned from confusion to shock, and then to anger.

Wang Yun was not a fool; he understood what was going on after a moment of thought.

Duan Yu went to Dong Commandery to suppress the rebels, discovered Wang Du by accident, and then used means to make Wang Du admit that he had some connection with the Yellow Turban rebels.

This was clearly framing him.

"Angel, I am wronged." Wang Yun struggled and roared: "It was Duan Yu who framed me, it was he who framed me!"

Zuo Feng didn't pay any attention to Wang Yun's cries of injustice, holding the testimony in his hand and saying: "You still say you are wronged!"

"This person comes from your Taiyuan Wang clan, opened the city gates to collude with the rebel soldiers to enter the city; he said it clearly, all of this was instigated by you, Wang Yun."

"What else can you quibble about?"

"It's a pity His Majesty trusted you so much, letting you serve as the Inspector of Yuzhou, and this is how you repay His Majesty."

"Take him down, send him to Luoyang!" Zuo Feng shouted.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song stood there, both stunned.

However, at this moment, a soldier ran in hurriedly from outside the hall.

"My lords, it's bad, it's bad."

"Yingyin has been broken by the rebel soldiers, and the soldiers who came to ask for reinforcements are right outside the county office!" ===== CHAPTER 712 =====
