Chapter 201

"The reason I let Wang Yun serve as Magistrate of Chang'an is, firstly, because you were promoted to Minister of Justice, and the position of Magistrate of Chang'an became vacant."

"Secondly, it is because Wang Yun's administrative ability is indeed quite good."

"With him serving as Magistrate of Chang'an, the various livelihood and security issues in Chang'an city will surely be properly resolved."

"If Wang Yun doesn't do a good job, we can just replace him."

Wang Yun guessed that the only thing that could possibly cause a conflict between him and Gu Yi recently was his cousin Wang Yun taking over as Magistrate of Chang'an.

Therefore, facing Gu Yi's "questioning of guilt" at this moment,

Wang Yun chose to take the initiative to bring this matter up.

However,

after listening to Wang Yun's explanation, the expression on Gu Yi's face still did not change at all.

"I say, Minister Wang, are you planning to keep playing dumb?"

"It's not that I'm criticizing you, but Wang Yun's ability is not that great either."

"Look, after Wang Yun took over as Magistrate of Chang'an, he didn't even wipe his own butt clean."

"You let such a person provoke Lu Bu's nerves; isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"No, that's not quite right either."

"After all, those involved are confused, while bystanders are clear."

"Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and the others might not necessarily guess that it was all you ordering Wang Yun to push the waves."

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Li should also be an important part of your plan, right?"

"Or to be precise, he is the mole you planted in Li Jue's army."

"Poor Hao Meng, who suffered thirty lashes for nothing, only to be used by Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng."

"Although I don't know what you specifically promised these three, this thing is likely something Lu Bu cannot give them."

"As for your ultimate goal, I have thought about it, and there should only be one."

"That is... to incite the Bingzhou army to rebel!"

"Tsk tsk, as expected of you, Minister Wang!"

Wang Yun was already sweating profusely.

He even had the urge to jump up on the spot and kill Gu Yi!

However,

Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Huang Zhong, who were standing behind Gu Yi, were like three iron-tower-like guardian gods.

Their eyes were fixed on Wang Yun, making Wang Yun feel a constant chill in his heart.

"Alright, Minister Wang, I am telling you this today not to settle scores with you."

"I don't care what your ultimate goal is."

"But I want to do one thing now, and I need your full support, Minister Wang."

Facing Gu Yi's smiling appearance, Wang Yun endured the hatred in his heart and asked through gritted teeth:

"Linzhi, what do you want?"

"Anything I have, you can take it all!"

"Straightforward!"

"Since you have said this, Minister Wang, then I can be completely at ease."

Gu Yi smiled slightly.

Immediately, he whispered a few instructions into Wang Yun's ear.

After listening, the expression on Wang Yun's face was as ugly as if he had eaten excrement.

But he had no way to refuse Gu Yi.

Gu Yi had already seen through his entire plan.

At this moment, Wang Yun was like meat on a chopping block, with nowhere to escape!

Inciting the Bingzhou army to rebel, hehe... how many heads does Wang Yun have to withstand Dong Zhuo's killing?

Now, he had no choice but to let Gu Yi manipulate him.

Relying on the authority in the hands of the Minister of Justice,

Gu Yi could quickly organize a complete set of evidence of Wang Yun inciting the Bingzhou army to rebel.

Therefore, from the moment Gu Yi arrived at the Situ residence,

Wang Yun had already thoroughly lost!

However,

Gu Yi did not intend to let Wang Yun die just like that.

Even if it was just to make use of waste, he would squeeze out his last bit of value!

"Alright, Minister Wang, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."

"Go and call the three generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng over!"

Gu Yi waved his hand.

Wang Yun's nephew, Wang Ling, hurriedly followed Wang Yun's instructions to find the three of them, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.

"Gu Yi!"

"I have no other wish."

"I only hope, can you spare the Wang family?"

Wang Yun asked in a tone that was almost pleading.

"Minister Wang, the Wang family can naturally be preserved."

"But, in what form it should be preserved, I suppose you don't need me to remind you again, right?"

Hearing this,

Wang Yun let out a long sigh of relief.

The Wang family would thoroughly become a running dog for the Dong Zhuo army in the future.

But this was already much, much better than the outcome of family extermination.

As for Wang Yun himself,

he no longer hoped to survive.

The preservation and flourishing of the family

for the leader of an aristocratic family in this era

was a big deal that far exceeded his own life!

Before long, the three generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng arrived at Wang Yun's residence with confused faces.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Xu said carelessly:

"Minister Wang, according to the day we agreed upon, isn't it the day after tomorrow?"

"Why did you suddenly move the time forward?"

However,

before Wei Xu's voice had even faded,

Gu Yi's figure was reflected in his sight.

The three of them, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, were almost scared out of their wits on the spot.

"General Wei, General Song, General Hou, right?"

"I already know all about the dealings between Minister Wang and you."

"In other words, you three need to take orders from me from now on."

"If not, hehe, you know what the outcome will be, right?"

Gu Yi went straight to the point, pressuring the three generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.

The three of them were not brave people to begin with.

The main reason they were won over by Wang Yun was because of benefits.

But no matter how great the benefits were, compared to their lives, their lives were certainly more important.

And who was Gu Yi?

He was the husband of old Dong's eldest granddaughter!

Equivalent to the number three figure in the Dong Zhuo army at the current stage.
