Not long after.
Zhou Cang brought Man Chong to Xiao Manor.
"Bonin!"
Xiao Bei looked at Man Chong, who was buried in a black robe and whose face could not even be seen clearly. His scalp went numb as he said,"Not many people in Xuchang know you. There's no need to be so strict. Those who don't know might think that you have a serious illness!”
"Haha!"
Man Chong lifted his black robe and an ugly smile appeared on his face.
"The fish is dead!"
Xiao Bei looked at the lotus pond and said indifferently,"Tomorrow, I will let the Shangshu Tai release the news of Yingchuan being pacified. At the same time, I will also let Zixiao seal Xuchang. You go and arrest the three relatives and six clans of the people who pulled the water for interrogation. I want to see their crimes!"”
"No need to ask!"
Man Chong shook his head and said,"Yang Xiu, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Changshui Lieutenant Zhong Ji, Counselor Wu Shuo, and Fu Wan's eldest son Fu De!"”
"Are you stupid?"
"Asking is a crime!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with ridicule as he said,"I transferred Zhicai out of Xuchang to tell the officials in the court that Xuchang only has 10,000 troops. Seven days ago, Noble Dong brought a blood edict in the name of visiting his relatives and handed it to Dong Cheng. Do you think you can kill all the officials in the court in one go?"”
"No!"
Man Chong shook his head.
He wasn't a fool. He knew that after killing all the officials, Cao Cao would be attacked by all the vassals.
"So!"
Xiao Bei knocked on the railing and smiled faintly."Kill a batch, suppress a batch, and promote a batch. This court is balanced enough. As for who to kill, we have to first clean up this group of juniors.”
"Understood!"
Man Chong nodded.
Xiao Bei looked at Cao Ang and said,"Zhongkang, escort Zixiu back to the residence at noon tomorrow. Even if you sleep, you have to sleep in the same room!"”
"Here!"
Xu Chu shouted.
The next day.
Shangshu Tai posted a notice at the gate.
After Yingchuan was pacified, the entire story of Xiao Bei's battle at Luo Wu Pass was also posted.
The entire Xuchang was in an uproar. The people rushed to tell each other and gathered at the city gate to read the notice.
At noon.
Cao Ang's carriage stopped in front of Sikong Manor.
"Eldest Young Master!"
The two rows of attendants bowed.
"Is the residence still stable recently?" Cao Ang nodded slightly.”
"Calm down!"
"Who dares to cause trouble in Sikong Manor!"
The group of attendants hurriedly responded, shocked by Cao Ang's sudden return.
At this moment, Cao Pi had also received news that Yingchuan had been pacified. He wanted to leave the city and head to the courtyard to discuss with Yang Xiu and the others.
"Brother Pi!"
Cao Ang's face sank.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Cao Pi's frail body trembled, and he said in horror,""I just received the news of the great victory in Yingchuan and was about to ask when you would return. I didn't expect my brother to return!”
"Yes!"
Cao Ang nodded.
Stepping into the mansion, he said lightly," Brother Pi, I've been out on the battlefield for many days. I'm going to visit Mother Bian in a while. It's better if you don't leave the mansion. Xuchang is not very peaceful now. Don't you think so?”
"Yes, sir!"
Cao Pi's scalp went numb.
Cao Ang turned around and looked at his attendants, saying in a deep voice,""From now on, the Sikong Residence will be closed for ten days.”
"Here!"
The attendants said respectfully.
"Brother, when will Mr. Xinzhi return?" Cao Pi asked nervously.”
"Soon!"
Cao Ang couldn't bear it and said with a complicated expression,"Brother Pi, after entering the city, I heard that you have been on good terms with Yang Dezu recently. Do you know that father has stripped his father of his position as Shangshu Ling? If this continues, father will only be unhappy!”
"Thud!"
Cao Pi's heart sank.
Cao Ang sighed." Let's enter the residence. We haven't seen each other for many days. We're too distant!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Cao Pi said bitterly.
Outside Xuchang City, in the military camp of the Congrong Manor.
Zhou Cang rushed into the camp of the third camp and shouted,""Where is the commander of the third camp?"
"Impudent!"
"Warhorses are forbidden from galloping in the Rong Manor's camp!" Cao Hong shouted angrily.”
Zhou Cang raised his Humble Scholar Sword and said in a deep voice,""Marquis Beishou, where is the commander of the third camp?”
"Sir?"
Cao Ren rushed out of the commander's tent, his eyes full of doubt.""Who are you?"
Zhou Cang raised his eyebrows and said," I am the one who holds the sword. This is Commander Xiao's Cold Scholar Sword. Please mobilize the army immediately and guard the four gates of Xuchang. From today onwards, Xuchang will be sealed for ten days!"”
"Seal the city!"
Cao Ren was shocked.
At this moment, even Cao Hong felt that it was incomparably absurd.
Cao Cao was on an expedition, but Xiao Bei wanted to seal the city at this time?
"Do you have a Tiger Tally?"
Cao Ren took a deep breath and asked.
Zhou Cang shook his head and said solemnly," Marshal Xiao said that the Humble Scholar Sword is the order of the Rong Residence. Those who do not respect the order will be demoted by one rank. The main and deputy generals will punish them severely!"”
"General's command!"
Cao Ren bowed to the Humble Scholar Sword.
"Giddyup!"
Zhou Cang once again left the military camp.
Cao Hong's expression was gloomy." Brother, the lord is out on an expedition, but Sir wants to block Xuchang City. If he really wants to rebel and we obey his orders, wouldn't that be betraying the lord and the Cao family?"”
"Bullshit!"
Cao Ren rebuked angrily," Our lord trusts you, sir, and we cannot doubt him. I'm afraid that something big is going to happen in Xuchang. Mobilize the army and seal the city immediately. Without the approval of the Rong family, even the emperor cannot take a step out of the city!"”
"Here!"
Cao Hong said helplessly.
