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

Chapter 145 Burning the evidence, Liu Xie lost his ambition
Just when everyone thought that Cao Cao was going to compare the letters one by one and pull the man out to behead him, Cao Cao waved his hand in a dispirited manner.

"It's all burned."

Yang Xiu was shocked: "Master, this is evidence."

Xun Yu was surprised: "Master, is it for me?"

Liu Xie was in a daze: "Hanchen, are you saved?"

【Oh, Boss Cao is starting to invite people to buy. 】

Cao Cao sighed, you, Han Ze, are outrageous.

Yang Xiu was a little puzzled when he heard Cao Cao's order, but he figured out the reason in an instant.

Then I was horrified in my heart, so I would be a villain in vain, not only was my busy life in vain, but also made everyone on the opposite side hate me.

These people include Hanchen, gentry, high-ranking officials, and celebrities.

After this incident, the Yang family may really not be able to hold up their heads anymore, the Yang family is finished.

Yang Xiu seemed to fall into hell, but those Hanchens seemed to return from the underworld.

"This is, is it really going to be burned?"

"Well, it seems that the prime minister wants Xu Du to be stable and long-term."

"Letters can be burned, but will our names be recorded?"

"Fart, I'm quite old and have no brains. No wonder I've been doing idle work all my life. Burning all the letters means forgetting the past. Wouldn't it be thankless if I still kept the list?"

Although the person explained the reason, the person who was scolded obviously didn't focus on the answer.

"You, whoever you say has no brains, most of them are idle jobs, don't they have no brains."

A group of people were immediately incited to criticize that person.

Cao Cao suddenly smiled when he saw the scene in front of him. A group of mobs started fighting among themselves just after they escaped from death.

At this time Dian Wei had already poured the kerosene into the letter box, and then threw a candle into it, and the flames rose two feet high with a whimper.

In the crowd, Sima Lang approached his father and asked, "Father, does this mean that we will also be charged with adultery with Yuan Shao?"

The people beside them who did not cooperate with the enemy but were caught by Yang Xiu immediately realized that they were about to kick over the box when they rushed out, but they were held tightly by the people next to them.

"Prime Minister, I was wronged, I want to confront, I didn't write a letter!"

The one who wrote the letter naturally didn't dare to let this person make trouble. If Cao Cao repented, I'm afraid that most of the people here would copy their families and exterminate their families, so they immediately controlled that person and explained to Cao Cao humbly.

"It's okay, it's okay, he hasn't figured out something."

Cao Cao looked at those who were held back, and felt relieved again.

【Oh, Cao Cao's trick is not bad.From now on, I'm afraid these people won't be able to get together, and those who have been wronged will hate Yang Xiu even more. 】

[But it seems that Yang Xiu doesn't care, anyway, everyone has a grudge.It's just that the Sima family is involved, and Boss Cao will be a little embarrassed. 】

Cao Cao was indeed a little embarrassed, but he didn't meet Sima Fang's eyes from the beginning to the end, so let's just pretend he didn't see him.

At this time, Xun Yu walked quickly to Cao Cao's side, clasped his hands in front of him, and was about to bow down when Cao Cao suddenly said something.

"Wen Ruo, look at these people, they are not worth it."

Xun Yu followed Cao Cao's gaze. Some of those people smiled at the lit letters, some held down those who were struggling, and some argued endlessly over whether they had brains in their idle jobs.

Under the reflection of the fire, the shadows of those people writhed on the ground, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

But the owners of those shadows are all well-dressed and dignified.

"Wen Ruo, this is the Hanchen you mentioned, the courtier you want to save, and the hope of the great man?"

Xun Yu was speechless, facing those almost crazy shadows, he remained silent.

Then Xun Yu bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and praised loudly: "My lord is generous and merciful, and will be admired by all people, all officials, and loved by soldiers. Thank you, lord, for your kindness to the sinner."

Those officials who were arguing also came to their senses, arranged their clothes one after another, and consciously lined up in front of Cao Cao according to their official positions.

He bowed to Cao Cao and shouted in unison: "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister, for pardoning our crimes, we must be completely devastated."

【Hey, this melon is okay tonight. It seems that although these people are still a little unconvinced, Boss Cao's status in their hearts is completely higher than His Majesty. 】

Han Ze turned his head to look at Liu Xie, who was looking at those officials with a melancholy expression.I don't know if I'm lamenting the brain drain, or regretting that I didn't win over and appease those officials earlier.

After looking at the courtiers for a while, Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao's back, which stood in front of Liu Xie like a mountain. I am afraid that even if he can control the court situation, he still cannot compete with it.

Those officials' obeisance to Cao Cao at this time was not only to thank Cao Cao for forgiving the crime of secretly informing Yuan Shao, but more like a statement, an attitude that only Cao Cao would follow his lead in the future.

Seeing the officials bowing down in front of him, Cao Cao was satisfied.

"Everyone, hurry up and calm down. It's getting late today. Tomorrow I will ask for credit for the battle of Guandu. Although everyone who stayed behind in Xudu did not fight the enemy, they still have credit for defending the city."

"Here!"

Everyone agreed with a loud bang, and then slowly dispersed with the mood of the rest of their lives.

Standing at the highest point, Liu Xie watched the courtiers gradually disperse, as if watching the hope of the great man's revival gradually dissipate.

Now that there are these people, Cao Cao's people are all in the court. Perhaps some scholars in Xudu still have illusions about the big man, but their strength is really insignificant.

Looking at the whole world, Yuan Shao has already been defeated by Cao Cao, and the chance of going south again is slim. Liu Biao and Sun Ce in the south are too busy to take care of themselves, and naturally they have no ambition to attack Cao Cao.

Other forces are not equal to Cao Cao. It can be said that there are almost no forces in the world that can counter Cao Cao.

Since no one in the world can stand against Cao Cao, even if I am the Son of Heaven, how can one person stand against him.

Liu Xie felt emotional in his heart, and looked up at the sky. A dark cloud in the sky was covering the moon. Under the dim light, the fire that lit the letter in the box became brighter.

Against the backdrop of the fire, Cao Cao's shadow became incomparably huge, and shrouded himself in the flickering fire.

Behind Liu Xie is the Tiger Guard, and Cao Cao's advisers are on the left and right.

With no way to retreat, Liu Xie just had time to turn his body sideways, and was enveloped by a shadow.

Han Ze on the side was a little puzzled when he saw Liu Xie's actions, and then saw Liu Xie staring at the shadow of Cao Cao under his feet, wondering what he was thinking.

【Your Majesty, you can't be autistic, why even a shadow is having so much fun. 】

Cao Cao didn't know what was going on behind him, but hearing Han Ze's voice, it seemed that His Majesty was quite happy.

Seeing so many courtiers bowing to me, isn't it touched at all?
Cao Cao waited for a while before looking back, and saw that Liu Xie was indeed staring down at the shadow on the ground, but that shadow belonged to Cao Cao.And Liu Xie was stepping on the shadow's head.
