"It's not that difficult."
Yang Ling thought for a moment, then smiled and said,
"Didn't the prefect just recruit a group of children from poor families? They can take their place!"
"Yes! How could I forget this!"
Cao Cao patted his head and his eyes lit up!
Although those children from poor families have little experience, they will inevitably make mistakes in the early stages.
But as long as they get started, they can replace those noble children!
"As for someone who obstructs the people from reclaiming wasteland, that's fine. The prefect can kill the chickens to scare the monkeys!"
Yang Ling sneered.
"I have found out that among the powerful nobles in East County, the Huang family is the leader! The prefect can definitely start with the Huang family!"
"Isn't this... a little too radical?"
Cao Cao hesitated.
"If it had been when we first came to Dongjun, we would have been a little radical."
Yang Ling slowly explained,
"But as the prefect issued a series of decrees, he won the support of the people in the county. With the support of the people, the prefect would no longer be aggressive when attacking the nobles."
When Cao Cao thought about it, it was the same.
He now controls the people's hearts, so why should he be afraid of those nobles?
Whether it's the nobles resigning from office or obstructing the common people from reclaiming wasteland, the nobles are behind all the trouble!
They must also be taught a lesson!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao nodded and said,
"Everything depends on sir, but...what excuse should we use to attack the Huang family?"
"It's easy to say. Aren't there often Black Mountain thieves who come to Dongjun to do evil? Let's just use the Huang family's collusion with the Black Mountain bandits as an excuse to kill them all!"
Yang Ling said calmly.
"We have no evidence."
Dian Wei on the side couldn't help but interject.
Yang Ling glanced at him and burst into laughter.
"If you want to accuse him, why bother?! As long as you rob his Huang family, I can find out whatever evidence you want!"
"Yes, what sir said is absolutely true!"
Cao Cao had a fierce look in his eyes and sneered,
"I'll do as you say! Mancheng, Wenqian! (Li Dian, Lejin font)"
"The general is here!"
Li Dian and Le Jin responded in unison.
"The two of you will immediately lead a thousand elite soldiers to the Huang Mansion and kill everyone in the Huang family. No one will be spared!"
Cao Cao ordered coldly.
"I will obey your orders!"
The two of them accepted the order and then strode out of the courtyard.
Yang Ling suddenly noticed that Zhao Yun on the side looked a little unbearable, so he whispered,
"Zilong, do you think this is inhumane?"
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said,
"Yes, brother, although the Huang family's actions are a bit excessive, the crime will not lead to the whole family being executed."
"That's how naive you are."
Yang Ling shook his head and said slowly,
"When we were inquiring about information in the city earlier, you also knew that the Huang family has oppressed many people to its current level!"
"The world is in chaos right now, and the people are in poverty. This is inseparable from the powerful nobles and nobles like the Huang family!"
"The entire Huang family is being executed today in order to suppress the noble clan and allow the common people to live a good life!"
"You have to remember that those who achieve great things cannot be benevolent as women!"
Zhao Yun's body trembled, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"What the elder brother said is absolutely true, and the younger brother will remember it!"
Yang Ling smiled happily.
He was also afraid that Zhao Yun was pedantic.
…
Huang Mansion.
A group of nobles still gathered in Huang Mansion.
"Hehe, Mr. Huang's plan is indeed effective. I heard that there has been chaos in the county government these past two days!"
"Then Cao A'hao doesn't know how to live or die, and dares to go against our noble clan, this is what will happen!"
Everyone laughed.
Even Huang Silang looked proud and said with a smile,
"Don't worry, everyone, if this continues, Cao Ah Man will bow to us in a few days!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
A servant ran in in a panic and shouted,
"Master, it's bad! Our Huang Mansion is surrounded by the army!"
"What?!"
Huang Silang jumped up, his expression changed drastically.
"Where did those troops come from?"
"Sir, I heard that they are the governor's army! They say that our Huang family is colluding with the Black Mountain bandits, and they want to kill all of us!"
The servant said with a sad face.
"This Cao Ah Man is so bold!"
Huang Silang's scalp was already numb!
He never expected that Cao Cao would be so disrespectful of martial ethics and would directly destroy the Huang family!
At this moment, the cry of killing has come from the front yard!
The members of the noble clan who were so proud just now are all scared to death!
"Mr. Huang, please think of a way!"
"Yes, otherwise it will be too late!"
As if grasping the last straw, everyone looked at Huang Silang for help.
Huang Silang thought for a moment, then forced himself to calm down and said,
"Don't panic, we are all respectable nobles in Dongjun. I'm sorry that Cao Cao doesn't dare to mess around!"
"You guys wait here for now, I'll go out and negotiate with them!"
When everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Huang!"
"With Mr. Huang coming forward, there will be no problem!"
Huang Silang didn't stop talking, got up and walked out of the lobby.
However, unexpectedly, he did not go to the front yard, but hurried towards the back yard.
The servant following him couldn't help but ask,
"Sir, aren't you going to negotiate with the prefect's army?"
"Negotiation, you big devil! At this juncture, of course it's important to escape!"
Huang Silang cursed.
What he said just now was just to appease the nobles.
joke.
When Cao Cao was serving as the Northern Lieutenant in Luoyang City, he dared to kill the uncle of the great eunuch Jian Shuo with a five-color stick.
Now that he is the prefect and is in charge of the power of life and death in a county, he can naturally kill everyone in his family!
Huang Silang didn't think that just because of his face, he could convince Cao Cao to let them go!
The most urgent thing is to run away quickly!
Fortunately, Huang Silang has a sense of crisis and has set up a secret passage in the house for escape very early!
But other noble clans are not so lucky!
It wasn't until Cao Cao's soldiers broke in and tied them up that they realized that Huang Silang had escaped!
"Prefect, we were wronged!"
"Give us a chance!"
"We are nobles, you can't do this to us!"
Outside Huang Mansion.
Cao Cao's face was as dark as water as he watched each member of the noble clan being tied up and walked out.
He just pretended not to hear their cries for mercy.
After a while, Li Dian, dressed in military uniform and full of murderous intent, came out and shook his head slightly at Cao Cao.
"Reporting to the prefect, everyone in the Huang family has been captured, but the head of the Huang family, Huang Silang, escaped through a secret passage."
Cao Cao frowned slightly, but then relaxed his brows and said coldly,
"It doesn't matter, a little Huang Silang is nothing to worry about, so just run away."
