Chapter 712

Attendant Zhang.

Zhang Rang.

Duan Yu looked at Zuo Feng with feigned surprise.

At the same time, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song also widened their eyes.

That's right, Zhang Rang's ancestral home was in Yingyin.

Not only Zhang Rang, but the Yingchuan Xun clan was also in Yingyin.

Zuo Feng, who realized the seriousness of the problem, immediately pointed at Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song and said: "You... is this how you suppress the rebels?"

"Fine, fine, fine, this has nothing to do with me now."

"You can save your words to explain to Attendant Zhang."

After saying that, Zuo Feng turned his gaze to Duan Yu: "General of the Van, Attendant Zhang's home is in Yingyin... you must send troops quickly."

Duan Yu knew what Zuo Feng meant.

The bribes Zhang Rang had received over the years and the family wealth he had accumulated were mostly hidden in his ancestral home in Yingyin.

"Eunuch Zuo, rest assured, this General will send troops to Yingyin early tomorrow morning." Duan Yu nodded in agreement.

"Good, good, good." Zuo Feng nodded repeatedly and then turned to look at Wang Yun: "Take him down, put him in a prisoner cart, and send him to Luoyang for trial."

"His Majesty bestowed upon him high office and generous salary, yet he secretly colluded with the rebel soldiers; it's hard to say if the breaking of Yingyin also has something to do with this traitor."

Duan Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Zuo Feng was quite imaginative, directly pinning the crime of Yingyin being broken on Wang Yun.

Now it would be hard for Wang Yun not to die.

One could imagine how furious Zhang Rang would be when he learned that his ancestral home had been broken by the Yellow Turban Army.

As for Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song...

They would definitely suffer as well.

"Duan Yu..."

Wang Yun, who was being escorted by two Feathered Forest Guards, had a gloomy look in his eyes and gritted his teeth as he passed Duan Yu.

"Don't think you can frame me and pin this crime on me."

"The officials in the hall will speak for me, Lord Yuan will not let you have your way."

"I will avenge this grudge sooner or later!"

Wang Yun, with bloodshot eyes, no longer hid his feelings.

He counted both old and new grudges against Duan Yu.

"My son's death, you will also pay for it sooner or later; I'll be waiting for you in Luoyang!"

Duan Yu sneered.

If Wang Yun were really allowed to return to Luoyang alive, it would be hard to say.

Liu Hong was willing to compromise on everything now in order to quell the rebellion.

The Proscription of Partisans had been lifted, the money, grain, and horses of the Western Garden had been scattered, and the Partisans had re-entered the court, occupying the vast majority of official positions.

And now that the world was in chaos, only Yingchuan had been pacified.

Jizhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou...

In these places, rebel soldiers were still rampant.

To quell the rebellion, relying on him alone was wishful thinking.

Duan Yu did not have the ability to be in two places at once.

Therefore, Liu Hong would inevitably still have to rely on Yuan Kui, Yang Ci, and the great clans.

At this time, making Liu Hong compromise was not a difficult thing.

Just by finding two excuses, he might be able to save Wang Yun.

This was why Duan Yu had not sent the plan to deal with Wang Yun directly to Luoyang at the beginning.

It was because he was worried about this.

Worried about the rescue by Yuan Kui, Yang Ci, and others.

But...

It was different now.

Wang Yun wanted to reach Luoyang alive...

First... first he had to be able to stay alive.

Facing Wang Yun's provocation, Duan Yu sneered.

Then he waved his hand at the Feathered Forest Guards who were preparing to take Wang Yun away: "Wait a moment, I have two words I want to say to Inspector Wang."

The Feathered Forest Guards naturally did not dare to reject the order of the General of the Van.

So they stopped.

Duan Yu leaned in close to Wang Yun and said in an extremely calm tone:

"Wang Zishi, oh Wang Zishi, do you still naively think... you can reach Luoyang alive?"

"Can't you guess why I brought Wang Du back only after returning from Dong Commandery, instead of sending him directly to Luoyang?"

"Do you think that just because I let you run once, there will be a second time?"

"You and your son are just as naive."

"Hehe."

"Of course, I'm not telling you this to show off."

"I just simply want to... let you die with a clear understanding."

"If it weren't for that high-and-mighty son of yours who wanted to step on me and thought he was clever, your Taiyuan Wang clan wouldn't have faced this disaster."

Duan Yu said with a smile, patting Wang Yun on the shoulder.

Of course, this was not the triumphant smile of a winner.

Wang Yun's expression changed instantly.

He stared with wide eyes, looking at Duan Yu without blinking until he was escorted out of the hall by the Feathered Forest Guards.

Wang Yun was convicted and sent to Luoyang in a prisoner cart.

The first battle and first merit that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had exchanged for with bloody battles had also become a joke.

Bo Cai's head had become dispensable.

The three of them, having been busy for so long, had ended up with nothing in an instant.

Making Duan Yu the biggest winner.

In this grand play, Duan Yu was the protagonist, and Wang Yun had become the villainous supporting character.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had become the characters who were ridiculed.

Those who watched the play also shouted that it was satisfying.

Handan Shang, the Magistrate of Yangdi, who watched from beginning to end, besides being terrified, exclaimed that this play was wonderful.

That night.

In the east of Yangdi City, within a huge and vast mansion complex.

Dressed in a black long robe, Guo Hong, the former Minister of Justice and one of the Nine Ministers, was currently sitting in his study.

The study was brightly lit, and Guo Hong was leaning on a Hu chair, with wine utensils in front of him, drinking and reading books with great contentment.

The last time Wang Gai was released privately, it implicated Guo Hong.

Therefore, Guo Hong was directly dismissed from office.

Of course, for the Yingchuan Guo clan, this was not a big deal.

It wouldn't be long before he would make a comeback.

It was just that he would need to pay a sum of money at that time.

Knock, knock, knock.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knocking sound rang out outside the study.

Guo Hong, holding his wine cup, looked up: "Come in."

As Guo Hong's voice fell, the study door opened.

Subsequently, Guo Jia, dressed in a long robe and with his hair not yet tied up, pushed the door and walked in. ===== CHAPTER 714 =====
