Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

【It's almost enough to scare, it's time to show kindness, if you want Yang Xiu to work honestly, you have to give him some hope. 】

Cao Cao nodded, that's right.

"Yang Xiu, because of your positive confession and commendable attitude, I decided to only let you arrest more than [-] of them, and find others to complete the rest."

When Yang Xiu heard this, he immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and his heart immediately relaxed a lot.

But thinking about it again, this is equivalent to completely relying on Cao Cao on behalf of the Yang family. In the future, I am afraid that one will be prosperous and the other will be damaged, and the relationship will never be separated.

Alas, I just hope that uncle will never go south again, please.

Han Ze looked at Yang Xiu whose body was no longer tense, and felt amused.

【Yang Xiu, do you think this is over? You are too naive.It's the real torture for you later on. 】

[Also, if Boss Cao plays Enwei and uses that trick, he will probably sell you and transfer the conflict between Boss Cao and the official family to you.Hey, just wait and see. 】

Cao Cao really planned to play a trick of combining grace and power, but he didn't expect what Han Ze said later.

At this time, after being reminded by Han Ze, I immediately figured out the key point.

Those officials and gentry who played tricks behind their backs were all arrested by Yang Xiu. Although Yang Xiu was carrying out Cao Cao's order, when Cao Cao pardoned them, the only thing left in those people's hearts was hatred for Yang Xiu and even the Yang family. .

Thinking of a deeper level, Cao Cao couldn't help but glanced at Han Ze again. He didn't know where he learned this at such a young age.

When he adopted Han Ze as his son-in-law back then, he really didn't expect him to be so smart, and he took a huge advantage.

It's a pity that he is a son-in-law. If Han Ze was his son, wouldn't he have a successor?

At this time, Cao Cao looked at Yang Xiu and felt that he was extremely ordinary, and he could hardly compare with Han Zewan, so he no longer had any interest in him.

"Dezu has worked hard for a long time, why don't you go back and rest, and start arresting people according to the list tomorrow."

Yang Xiu was pardoned and kowtowed again and again, but was still dragged out of the hall by the guards.

Sitting on the stone bench at the door, my heart was already icy cold.

The Yang family is over, the Yingluo family, the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the family of the fourth generation and the third master, has lost its reputation after only a few months in his hands, and will become Cao Cao's vassal in the future.

And all of this seemed to start with Han Ze, and the gloom in his eyes gradually became stronger.

After hammering his legs for a long time, Yang Xiu limped back.

To make an apology here, of course he would not let his carriage wait nearby. Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, he regretted this decision very much.

On the second day, Yang Xiu took the documents from the prime minister's office, compared them with the list, and led the soldiers of the school office to arrest them one by one.

Some families were old friends with Yang Xiu, and after Yang Xiu knocked on the door, they enthusiastically led him into the hall, and then the head of that family was arrested by Yang Xiu, and the young master who had called Yang Xiu a brother just now yelled at him.

The school affairs office wanted to arrest the young master, but Yang Xiu waved his hand and said in a hypocritical way that he should be forgiving and forgiving, and then went to the next family.

Although Yang Xiu only left six homes in the morning, the school affairs office has arrested nearly 30 people.

Yang Xiu's notoriety in Xudu can even stop children crying at night, and the Yang family has also been abused and resisted by all the gentry.

Yang Biao was cultivating in a farm far away from Xudu, and within half a day he heard what Yang Xiu had done, and felt very sorry.

At night, the news of Yang Xiu's arrest of the Han officials and the gentry had spread throughout Xudu, and even Liu Xie, who lived in the palace, had heard some rumors.

After confirmation, Liu Xie immediately panicked, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to beg Cao Cao for mercy.

Although he scolded him for what he had done in his heart, he was afraid. After the Yidai Zhao incident last time, Liu Xie was really afraid that Cao Cao would kill him and help others to ascend the throne.

After making up his mind, he immediately called a regular follower: "Go, go and invite the prime minister."

"Huh?" Chang Sui was a little confused. Liu Xie was very resistant to Cao Cao on weekdays and had never summoned him before. What happened today.

"Zhen, I haven't seen the prime minister for many days, and I miss you very much. Don't ask too many questions, just call the prime minister quickly."

This person was arranged by Cao Ang by the emperor's side. Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, and went directly to pass on the news.

Not long after, Cao Cao brought a few counselors to the main hall of the imperial palace, striding along the main hall with swords hanging from his waist, as if walking in his own courtyard.

Before Cao Cao could salute, Liu Xie hurried forward to hold Cao Cao's hands.

"Why hasn't the Prime Minister come to see me for so many days? The last time was when you came back from Guandu. How are you doing today? Are you busy with government affairs?"

Although Cao Cao didn't know why Liu Xie was so attentive, he didn't rush to ask why he summoned him.

A group of counselors lined up on both sides, and Cao Cao accompanied Liu Xie to chat about recent government affairs in the hall.

After listening for a while, seeing that Cao Cao hadn't mentioned Yang Xiu's arrests, he felt a little anxious.

Seeing that Liu Xie had been in a state of anxiety, Cao Cao asked about recent political affairs, and probably guessed that His Majesty was a little scared, but he didn't know why he was afraid for the time being.

After talking for a while, Liu Xie couldn't wait any longer, so he interrupted Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, I will talk about these government affairs later. There is still something to do today, haha, this..."

"Your Majesty has any questions, feel free to ask, and I will definitely tell you everything."

"It's Mrs. Yang... the son of Yang Biao. I heard that they are arresting people outside today, and most of them are courtiers."

Stared at by Cao Cao and a group of advisers, Liu Xie became more and more hypocritical, swallowing a few times before continuing.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. There are people from the eldest son around me. I have been very quiet these days, and I was not in Xudu when the incident happened. Therefore, the prime minister must investigate and arrest people."

With a little cowardice, Liu Xie lowered his head slightly and peeked at Cao Cao from time to time to observe his reaction.

Cao Cao listened to Liu Xie's cautious words, and his heart was already very calm.

The root of it is that Cao Cao no longer regards the man in front of him as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and has been completely reduced to a tool man since he wore the edict.

After listening for a while, Cao Cao laughed: "Is Your Majesty afraid that I will kill the courtiers again, or are you also involved?"

Liu Xie waved his hands again and again: "No, no, the prime minister must find out. I really didn't participate this time, not at all."

"Your Majesty really didn't participate?" Cao Cao asked sharply.

Liu Xie was almost scared to sit down by the sudden question, and repeatedly denied it with a mournful face: "No, really not, the prime minister must believe me."

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic, I was just joking."

"It's not funny at all, it scared me to death."

"It's scary that your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but since your Majesty asked about this matter, go with me to see the result. It's time to end all of this."

Liu Xie froze immediately, he was too familiar with this sentence, Cao Cao killed more than a dozen Han officials after this sentence in the last garment belt edict.
