Chapter 128 Xu Du's Water Is Too Deep

Without Wang Hui, he completely lost hope of overthrowing Cao Cao.

"What Aiqing said is quite reasonable, and Wang Hui is really hateful." Liu Xie first agreed with Cao Cao's statement, and then asked tentatively: "I don't know how Aiqing wants to deal with the Wang family?"

"Needless to say, it's natural that the whole family will be robbed and all property will be confiscated!" Cao Cao said with a sneer.

So ruthless, Liu Xie frowned slightly. He also thought that if Cao Cao was willing to show mercy, then he said it again, and it is not impossible to reduce the punishment for the Wang family.

But who knew that Cao Cao was so heartless that he directly wanted to kill the entire Wang family.

Damn it, the Wang family ransacked the house, and you, Cao Cao, have the most to gain. It has nothing to do with me. No, it must not be like this.

Liu Xie was thinking in his heart, and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know where to start, and the hall fell into silence.

Cao Cao looked at the silent Liu Xie, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

After all, the little emperor was still too young, and this little problem stumped him.

Although Cao Cao didn't know exactly what Liu Xie was doing behind his back, he knew most of it.

The reason why he didn't point it out was because Cao Cao felt that Liu Xie couldn't threaten him.

It is now agreed that this is the case. Cao Cao waited for Liu Xie to persuade him to persuade him to keep the Wang family instead of confiscating the family property.

It's just that Cao Cao overestimated Liu Xie's ability, and Liu Xie was speechless after being choked by him.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "However, Your Majesty, although the crimes committed by the Wang family are extremely heinous, the humble minister is by no means unpardonable."

"That's right, that's what I mean." Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise.

"But how can I be pardoned? There can't be a price for nothing, right?" Cao Cao persuaded.

"Hmm..." Liu Xie made up his mind this time, and tentatively asked, "Slap him?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Cao Cao flattered, looking at Liu Xie who had been led by him by the nose.

He doesn't mind saying some beautiful words, so what?No one takes it seriously.

He is like this, and so is Liu Xie.

"Since that's the case, why not Your Majesty be in charge of officials related to the Wang family, and I will punish him with some money."

"Very good." Liu Xie praised, but hesitated: "It's just that I'm worried that too many officials will be punished, which will cause backlash..."

"It doesn't matter, there are humble ministers around, they dare not." Cao Cao said.

"Then I'm relieved."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Cao Cao didn't say much, and after a few random words, he planned to leave.

Before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Your Majesty, there will be field hunting in a few days, please prepare your majesty."

"Oh." Liu Xie replied nonchalantly.

He had some expectations for field hunting, but now he puts all his heart and soul on Wang Hui.

Cao Cao's opinion won his heart. It can not only beat the Wang family, but also improve his control over the court, and strengthen the Wang family's support for him.

As for whether Cao Cao has selfish intentions, Liu Xie knows without even thinking about it, there must be.

But there is no other way, since I can't stop Cao Cao, I might as well obey him, and I can gain some benefits.

So Liu Xie is in a good mood, even though he has been taken away by Cao Cao, even though he has been silent many times and cannot refute Cao Cao, he is still in a good mood.

Cao Cao was also in a good mood. He could deprive a lot of wealth and beat the overly arrogant Wang family, and he could vent his anger on his subordinates and improve his dignity.

And what I pay is only a little time, why not do it?

The two didn't start to act right away. Gao Shun went to see Cao Cao in the morning, and Cao Cao went to the palace to meet Liu Xie in the afternoon, so the two agreed to start the action the next day.

On the second day, Liu Xie declared Cao Cao to enter the palace for "secret talks".Amidst the doubts of many officials and generals, a decree came out from the palace in the afternoon, and a large number of officials were dismissed or demoted.

Dozens of Yilang were demoted, and a large number of officials with real power in the Ministry of Punishment were also dismissed. The worst of them was Ting Wei Zhang Lin, who was directly deprived of his official position and beaten as a civilian.

This was just an action taken by the palace against the Wang family, with the intention of pulling out the thighs behind the Wang family, and Cao Cao did not sit idle, and directly accused the Wang family of colluding with a large number of important court officials, and plundered a lot of money.

Cao Cao and Liu Xie's actions were quick and violent, which caught the Wang family by surprise, and they didn't even have time to manage.

Wang family.

Wang Hui and his son were not standing on that luxurious restaurant, which had already been snatched away by Cao Cao.

Wang Hui seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight. His black and white hair had all turned white, and his face had more wrinkles. Even his straight waist had bowed down.

"Father, what's going on? Why did the court suddenly attack our family? We didn't do anything?" Wang Hui's son Wang Yan asked impatiently.

"Didn't do anything, in your opinion, I didn't do anything, heh!" Wang Hui said with disdain: "Think carefully about what we are mainly planning during this time."

"Didn't we have been planning how to kill Gao Shun all this time?" Wang Yan was puzzled at first, then he was shocked and said, "Father means that the assassination of Gao Shun caused the disaster?

Impossible, Gao Shun is just a small general, how could it cause Cao Cao and the emperor to attack our Wang family together, this is unreasonable! "

"It's unreasonable, but so what? People use knives and we use fish. Now we can only be slaughtered by others." Wang Hui squinted.

He had long thought that this day would come, but what he didn't expect was the things that would be caused by the assassination of Gao Shun.

After all, he is a businessman rather than an official. In fact, no matter how much wealth he has, he has no ability to protect it.

In the past, he spent a lot of money to manage these officials, ranging from important officials like Zhang Lin to ordinary centurions and Sima. He has never been stingy with money, and the money is scattered like running water.

This also caused Wang Yan's confusion. It is understandable that Wang would manage those important officials, because those officials who have a place in the court can often help them at critical moments, but why should they manage those officials who have only a few dozen people? Where's the chief soldier?
Wang Hui didn't explain this, but said to him earnestly: "We are Shang."

Now Wang Yan can understand why his father said that sentence.

"Sister, what should we do? Will they kill them all? Is our Wang family just like this..." Wang Yan said in a panic.

"Don't worry, you and I still have some uses now, otherwise they wouldn't use such gentle means to deal with us, but directly ransacked the house and executed it." Wang Hui said:
"It's just that we have to calm down for a while, and we can't be more in the limelight. Have you contacted the assassin you just want to contact? If you haven't, don't contact them.

And in the afternoon, you send people to prepare ten carts of treasure and silver to send to the palace, then prepare eight carts of treasure and silver to Cao Cao's mansion, and then prepare three carts to send to Gaoshun's camp.

Only in this way can our royal family escape disaster. "

"Dad, I understand." Wang Yan replied dully.

It's just that he is still a little unwilling, unwilling to be the murderer who killed his mother's brother like this, unwilling to cause such a big loss to the Wang family because of that little person.

"Father, do we have a chance to kill Gao Shun in the future?"

"Why not? This time we lost some vitality, so what's the matter, our Wang family will stand upright after all, Yan'er, you have to hold your breath," Wang Hui said lightly.

………………

Goldman Sachs knew about this matter later, when the Wang family brought three large carts of firewood to his camp, he was aware of this matter.

After all, he didn't know much about living outside the city, and he didn't have the energy to plant spies in the city.

At that time, he was still thinking about the next step in the Chinese army camp, so Zhang Cai ran over excitedly and said to him, "General, someone has sent us money."

Gao Shun was confused at first, and then realized that this should be the compensation Cao Cao said to him, so he packed up and went to meet him.

It's just that the person who came here was not sent by Cao Cao. He claimed to be a housekeeper, and he was very respectful to Gao Shun.

"This general, my lord sent this to you. The lord also said that he hoped that you would let him off once."

"What's your grandfather's name?"

"king."

Gao Shun understood with a groan, and was not too excited. He gave Zhang Cai a few words and then turned around and left.

The butler didn't get angry because Gao Shun didn't give him face, he was cheerfully explaining to Zhang Cai.

Gao Shun had just returned to the camp and sat down when someone came to look for him again.

It was Zhang Liao who came.

Zhang Liao brought too many guards, but he brought two close guards, and left the guards outside the barracks, and came to see Gao Shun alone.

"Brother Yi Cong, I..."

"Wen Yuan, didn't you thank me for coming to me? Cao Gong should have returned the soldiers and horses to you, hahaha, no need to thank me, just treat me to a drink or two." Gao Shun said boldly.

"No, there are other things." Zhang Liao was a little anxious, so Gao Shun shielded him from the left and right, and then said: "The little madam is lost."

Who is the little lady?Gao Shun instinctively wanted to ask, but then suddenly remembered that he went to Zhang Liao's mansion that day, and that was how Zhang Liao called Diao Chan.

Diao Chan lost? !
It's not a big deal, Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao's anxious face, a little puzzled.

Zhang Liao said again: "I heard from you that you brought the little lady from Xiapi to Xu Xudu, and kept it in a side courtyard next to my mansion, and arranged for a maid to take care of her.

Unexpectedly, at noon today, the maid suddenly came over and reported to me that the little madam was gone, not gone, she probably ran away, and she still brought some coils and clothes. "

"If you look at it this way, it should be escape." Gao Shun nodded, but he didn't pay much attention to it: "If you escape, you escape. It has nothing to do with you and me."

"Brother Yicong, how can you say that, she is a little lady after all, Fengxian is dead, and we can't find his wife and daughter, how can he not even take care of a concubine?" Zhang Liao said dissatisfied. .

Why does Zhang Liao have some saints?That's not how he murdered the Sun family's [-] troops.

Gao Shun was a little surprised, could it be that Zhang Liao's temperament changed because of his own reasons?

"Then what do you want to do? Could it be that we go to the city to search for her? We should deal with our situation first." Gao Shun said.

It is not suitable for the two of them to make big moves in this situation. Zhang Liao has just gained military power, and if he sends soldiers and horses to the city to search, maybe Cao Cao will think he is doing something, and the same is true for Gao Shun, the two of them should Stay obediently in your mansion or barracks.

"But we can't just sit back and watch, how dangerous is a weak woman in this city." Zhang Liao also knew that Gao Shun was telling the truth, but he was a little worried after all.

"It's okay." Gao Score patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said, "Since Diao Chan escaped, it must have been planned in advance, and nothing major will happen."

"I hope so." Zhang Liao replied worriedly.

"Never mind this, you haven't answered what I said just now, Mr. Cao returned all the soldiers and horses to you." Gao Shun said.

Seeing Zhang Liao nod his head, Gao Shun said again: "Did Mr. Cao say that he would take you hunting?"

"I told you, what's the matter?" Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun with strange eyes.

"You were also called..." Gao Shun frowned slightly: "Have you ever participated in field hunting before?"

"No." Zhang Liao shook his head: "It's just field hunting. It's nothing more than His Majesty leading some people to catch some small prey. Shall we watch from the sidelines? What's the big deal?"

Zhang Liao said indifferently.

Yes, if only it were that simple, you don't know anything, so naturally don't worry.

Gao Shun slandered a few words, and did not intend to reveal anything to Zhang Liao. Even if he said it now, Zhang Liao would not believe it.

Anyway, Zhang Liao should not be involved, and it has nothing to do with him. After all, the two of them are not qualified enough to follow Cao Cao, and most of them stand and watch from a distance among the officials. .

Gao Shun thought for a while, and then said: "The plans I told you in Xiapi before, don't act for now."

Now the water in Xudu is too deep, bottomless, Gao Shun relies on his own prophet.He can't even protect himself, let alone Zhang Liao who doesn't understand anything, like a rookie in the officialdom.

If Zhang Liao was still the same as before, visiting friends everywhere, maybe something would happen to him.

If he is implicated again, it will be difficult to rescue him.

Zhang Liao also has a deep understanding of this.

I just visited a few friends in Xudu before, and I wanted to open up some small relationships, but I was targeted by Cao Cao. If Chen Gong and Gao Shun hadn't interceded for him, I don't know what kind of punishment I would have received?

Even so, his military power disappeared for a while. Fortunately, Gao Shun was able to solve the case and let Cao Cao return his military power. Otherwise, he is still a general with only air power. Difficult to guarantee.

"Brother Yicong is right, I won't do something rashly."

Zhang Liao said solemnly.
