"Okay, in that case, I will help you two brothers!"
Cao Cao was furious and said sternly,
"Come here, drag Yang Ling and Xu Chu down and chop them down!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of wolf-like guards rushed in.
Seeing this situation, Cao Ang, Guo Jia and others stood up quickly.
"Prime Minister, please calm down!"
"Prime Minister, although Xu You died at the hands of General Wufenzhonglang and General Xu, in the end it was him who provoked him first. In addition, General Wufenzhonglang and General Xu also drank too much and became delirious."
"What Fengxiao said is absolutely true! Besides, the man with good facial features will make great contributions to the great man, and his crime will not lead to death!"
After everyone's persuasion, Cao Cao's expression softened a lot.
He pondered for a moment and then said calmly,
"What you are saying is not unreasonable. Yang Ling, Xu Chu, because of your hard work and the fact that you committed the murder while drunk, I will not sentence you to death!"
"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The two of you should go to Xu You's tomb to apologize."
"Yang Ling, you must spend a huge amount of money to compensate Xu You's family."
"As for Xu Chu, you are not allowed to drink alcohol for the next year!"
Hearing this, Cao Ang, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others were relieved.
Yang Ling and Xu Chu both cupped their hands and said,
"I obey my orders."
But the Xu family on the side were a little unhappy.
"Yang Ling and Xu Chu killed my father, how can we just let him go? Doesn't the Prime Minister's move seem to be a bit of a cover-up for them?"
Xu You's son complained dissatisfiedly.
Sima Yi curled his lips.
What a brainless idiot!
Cao Cao has made it clear that he wants to let Yang Ling and Xu Chu go. If you are still so aggressive, I'm afraid it will make Cao Cao unhappy.
As expected, Cao Cao's face darkened.
"What do you mean by this? Are you questioning me?!"
"The villain dare not!"
Xu You's son hurriedly bowed and apologized.
"I don't dare to be the best. I have made a decision on this matter. You all can go down!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said impatiently.
The Xu family had no choice but to bow and leave.
Sima Yi and others on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief, and also bowed and left.
"When I saw the Prime Minister being so angry just now, I really thought he was going to kill us. I was almost scared to death!"
After leaving Xudu County Government, Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
But after seeing Yang Ling with a relaxed expression, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Brother, why are you so calm? Aren't you afraid of the Prime Minister?"
"Why should I be afraid?"
Yang Ling laughed,
"The Prime Minister was angry just now, but he was just acting for outsiders to see."
"We killed Xu You, and he didn't know how happy he was."
"ah?"
Xu Chu couldn't help being dumbfounded.
With his simple mind, he couldn't figure out the twists and turns here for a while.
At this moment, Dian Wei caught up from behind.
"Brother, please stay. My lord asked me to invite you over."
"See, if the master is really angry, why would he let us go?"
Yang Ling smiled and said to Xu Chu.
After receiving Cao Cao's instructions, everyone returned to Xudu County Yamen.
Compared with just now, Cao Cao was obviously not angry, but had a faint smile on his face.
"Ziyi, you solved a problem for me! I want to thank you very much!"
Xu You came to seek refuge. He did not say anything about his efforts, and often called Cao Cao by his nickname, Ah Ma, and always regarded himself as Cao Cao's best friend.
This has already made Cao Cao unhappy.
It's just that because of Xu You's reputation and friendship with the two of them, he couldn't take action.
Today, Yang Ling ordered Xu Chu to kill Xu You, which could be said to have removed a piece of his troubles.
"Father-in-law is too polite. This is just a matter of convenience."
Yang Ling smiled.
The reason why Xu You was ruthlessly killed today was mainly because Xu You was ignorant.
He dared to insult himself in broad daylight, which is really intolerable for his uncle and unbearable for his aunt!
"There are also many family members who are also ignorant!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly,
"Zixiu, go back and find a reason to deal with the Xu family as well."
"Here!"
Cao Ang nodded.
After Xu You was killed, Cao Cao planned to ensure the future prosperity of the Xu family because of their many years of friendship.
But he didn't expect that Xu You's son, like his father, had no emotional intelligence.
In this case, there is no need for Cao Cao to be kind to them.
"Speaking of which, I happen to have something to discuss with you, Ziyi, today."
Cao Cao paused, frowned slightly and said,
"I just received news that Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, has contacted the Southern Huns and Han Sui and Ma Teng in Guanzhong in order to respond to Yuan Shang."
"They have been reorganizing their troops in the past few days, and they think it won't be long before they send out troops."
Yang Ling thought for a while and said,
"My father-in-law wants my son-in-law to go to Hanoi County to resist them?"
"Zi Yi is indeed smart, I do mean so."
Cao Cao nodded.
If the coalition forces of Gao Gan, Xiongnu, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others want to attack Cao Cao, they must first capture Hanoi County.
Although Cao Cao had a cloud of powerful generals and a rain of advisers, the one he trusted the most was Yang Ling.
Yang Ling naturally understood what he was thinking and could only nod his head and said,
"My son-in-law is willing to go!"
"That's good!"
Cao Cao's brows widened and he laughed and said,
"Then you go back and clean up quickly and leave as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Yang Ling bowed his hands and left with Gan Ning and others.
As soon as he left the Xudu County Government Office, Gan Ning couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Ziyi really predicts things like a god!"
"Okay, go back and pack your things, we'll leave tomorrow!"
Yang Ling smiled.
After everyone waved goodbye, Yang Ling took Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cao Qing and Mi Zhen coming to greet him.
"Husband, what did Xu You say about that?"
Cao Qing said with concern.
Xu You's murder happened in Qiongjiangyuye, so naturally someone notified the beauties in the house early.
They originally wanted to go to Cao Cao immediately, but in the end they were persuaded by Cao Qing.
After all, she knew her father best. With Yang Ling's talent, her father would never embarrass Yang Ling unless it was for rebellion.
After seeing Yang Ling return safely, all the girls breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Prime Minister didn't embarrass me too much. Instead, he praised me."
Yang Ling smiled and told Cao Qing and the other girls the whole story.
"That's good!"
Mi Zhen patted her chest with her little hands and let out a long sigh of relief.
"But the Prime Minister has other instructions for me."
Yang Ling shrugged his shoulders.
"He asked me to leave for Hanoi County in the next few days."
"What? Husband, how long have you been at home? Why did your father let you go out again?"
Cao Qing pursed her red lips, looking unhappy.
"Thankfully we went out of our way to deliver sour plum soup to him last time."
After hearing her words, Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh.
If Boss Cao hears it, he will probably lament that his married daughter is throwing water away, right?
