Chapter 837

Facing Duan Yu's question, Zhen Jian hurriedly nodded in response.

"Yes... yes, it is," Zhen Jian said, his voice trembling.

Duan Yu said with a cold laugh: "Very well. Since it is a family matter, then I shall participate in it as well."

Everyone who heard Duan Yu's words was dumbfounded.

What did this mean?

It's a family matter, and he wants to participate?

Duan Yu beckoned to Zhen Jiang, who was standing to the side.

Zhen Jiang, standing in place, immediately blushed, then shyly came to Duan Yu's side.

Duan Yu reached out his other hand and placed it on Zhen Jiang's fragrant shoulder, then swept his gaze across all the Zhen clan members present.

"I shall now introduce you all grandly."

"This is my wife, Zhen Jiang." Duan Yu said this while lifting Zhen Jian, who was only about seven feet tall, in front of him.

Zhen Jian, with his feet off the ground, showed terror, and because he was being lifted by his arm, his legs kept kicking in mid-air, looking extremely comical.

After Duan Yu lifted Zhen Jian to a height similar to his own, he said with an extremely fierce look in his eyes: "The previous accounts, it is time to settle them now!"

Zhen Jian was completely stunned.

Zhen Ren, Zhen You, Zhen Jiang's mother Lady Zhang, and her two brothers.

Including the officials in Wuji County who were present, excluding those under the Liangzhou system, were all stunned.

What was going on?

Zhen Jiang was actually Duan Yu's wife?

Then, in that case, when Duan Yu said earlier that he was waiting for his wife to enter the city together, wasn't he waiting for Zhen Jiang?

The wife Duan Yu spoke of was Zhen Jiang?

As for the settling of accounts that Duan Yu mentioned.

Zhen Jian looked at Zhen Jiang with terror in his eyes.

"Let's settle them one by one!" Duan Yu said, narrowing his eyes: "It was you who ordered Jiang'er to be placed under house arrest earlier, right?"

"And, that batch of snow salt and white paper transported from Jinyang was also confiscated by you, right?"

"You are so smart, why don't you use your brain to think: why did the white paper and snow salt come from Jinyang?"

Zhen Jian was naturally no fool.

If Zhen Jian were a fool, he wouldn't have thought of seizing the white paper and snow salt from Zhen Jiang's hands.

Jinyang!

Jinyang!

Zhen Jian suddenly thought of something.

His eyes widened as he looked at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu!

Jinyang!

That's right!

Duan Yu first rose to prominence in Jinyang.

And when Zhen Jiang brought back the white paper and snow salt last year, it was also when she returned from Jinyang.

Could it be...

Zhen Jiang had always been saying that the white paper and snow salt were not produced by her, but by someone else.

And this someone else...

This someone else was actually Duan Yu?

"Heh."

Duan Yu let out a cold laugh.

The changing expression on Zhen Jian's face already proved that he had guessed something.

"It seems you are not a fool after all, having guessed that the white paper and snow salt belong to me."

Duan Yu continued with a cold laugh: "Since you have guessed it, then our accounts should be settled properly."

Saying this, Duan Yu let go of his hand.

The terrified Zhen Jian fell directly to the ground.

"Men, arrest all members of the Zhen clan, except for the branch of the second house."

"The Zhen clan members have embezzled my white paper and snow salt, and the amount is huge. Confiscate all the assets of Zhen Jian, Zhen Ren, and Zhen You!"

Duan Yu reached out and took Zhen Jiang's hand, then kicked Zhen Jian, who was blocking his way, aside.

Then, holding Zhen Jiang's hand, he walked into Wuji County.

The gazes of everyone around were uniformly wide with shock.

Hua Xiong, with a cold face, waved his hand.

A multitude of Liangzhou soldiers, like tigers and wolves, swarmed forward.

The Magistrate of Wuji County, standing not far from Zhen Jian, was so scared that his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

PS: A word from the little author: I posted this in the chapter notes before, but perhaps many readers didn't notice, so I will reiterate it here.

Many readers have complained that the little author is splitting chapters, but in truth, the little author doesn't want to either; it's just that the length of each chapter only has so many words.

I wouldn't dare say I have the most words per chapter, but on Tomato, where chapters are generally two thousand words or even fifteen hundred words, I provide three thousand or more words per chapter, which is still considered decent.

After all, my meager income depends on the ads in each chapter, meaning the more chapters, the more ads, and the more income I can get.

So I don't want to either, but I have no choice; if I wrote more, I'd be eating dirt.

Also, there have been very few power-ups these past two days; everyone, please click for power-ups. It can add a little bit to my meager income. I've updated to nearly a million words now and have never asked for gifts; I just ask that you give a little power-up for love. Please, my income is too low, I'm a bit like crying! ===== CHAPTER 839 =====
