Bai Feng was slightly taken aback.
But this matter seemed to be destined.
In history, after Cao Cao was assassinated, he carried out a great purge of his civil and military officials, as well as the landowning households.
Seeing Bai Feng nod, Cao Cao continued.
"Go, this Solitude believes in you.
"Go ahead and do it. Once you find anyone related, kill them without mercy. Leave no one alive!"
"Understood!"
Bai Feng cupped his hands, then turned and left.
Cao Cao's meaning was very clear.
While he was recuperating, he would hand over all the authority to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Although the masterminds of this matter were the Xun uncle and nephew, both of them were now dead.
In other words, whether it was the landowning households or the officials, it was very likely that there were people assisting them in Xuchang.
The first to bear the brunt was Yang Xiu!
Cao Cao was temporarily handing over the royal authority to him!
After Bai Feng left, Lady Bian walked over with a worried expression.
"Ah Man, didn't you say that no one in the city can be trusted?"
"Then this Bai Feng …"
Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.
"Bai Feng is different from the others. This Solitude trusts him.
"Moreover, besides him, no one else is suitable for this matter.
"Including Zihuan and Zijian!"
Cao Cao did not trust anyone.
Even his own son, Cao Cao, was somewhat suspicious.
During the defense of the city, Cao Pi and Xun You had been in Xuchang City and were extremely close.
And the one who stole Bai Feng's handwriting to order the rebels was Cao Zhi's subordinate, Yang Xiu.
It was really hard to say whether these two people had anything to do with this matter.
Now, the two of them were constantly working in order to compete for the position of heir.
But wasn't the purpose of competing for the position of heir to inherit his position?
If that was the case, then they had a motive to kill him!
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Lady Bian fell silent and nodded slightly.
… …
At that moment, at Cao Zhi's place in Xuchang City.
Cao Zhi had just been released from his cell. Now that he heard the shouts outside, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to drink. He stared straight at Yang Xiu and whispered,
"Ancestor De, the battle cries outside the door are so intense."
"Royal Father, he …"
Yang Xiu smiled faintly and confidently said:
"Don't worry, Young Master. These soldiers are just a motley crew. How could they hurt Wei Emperor?"
"Furthermore, we are only doing this for Bai Feng. How can we possibly hurt Wei Emperor?"
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi finally relaxed.
Yang Xiu continued.
"At this moment, Young Master shouldn't be worried. Instead, you should be celebrating."
"Celebrate?"
Cao Zhi was dumbfounded.
What were they celebrating?
Xu Chang City was about to be burned down by the fire, and the City Defense Army was still engaged in an intense battle with the rebel army.
He didn't go out either, so he didn't know what was going on outside.
He wasn't even sure about his father's safety.
What could they celebrate?
Yang Xiu smiled faintly.
"Young Master, we should celebrate Bai Feng's impending death. We have eliminated a formidable enemy."
Hearing this, Cao Zhi was still taken aback.
Yang Xiu continued.
"Don't worry, Young Master. Since the City Defense Army is already engaged in battle with the rebel army, it means that Wei Emperor's Tiger Tally is still there. That also means that Wei Emperor is fine."
"However, after this incident, Wei Emperor will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. How can Bai Feng escape punishment?"
"When the time comes, Wei Emperor will definitely not spare Bai Feng. He will definitely kill him."
Cao Zhi frowned slightly.
"Ancestor De, we didn't go to Royal Father's rescue when he was in danger. How can you be so sure that I won't be implicated?"
Yang Xiu closed the folding fan in his hand.
"Don't worry, Young Master. If Wei Emperor asks you when the time comes, just say that you were just released from prison and celebrated with your friends. You slept the entire night and didn't know about this incident."
"Also, say that I've already helped Young Master. This incident will definitely not implicate Young Master."
Hearing this, Cao Zhi nodded slightly.
At this moment, there was a series of intense knocks on the door.
Cao Zhi hurriedly took two steps back in fear and whispered.
"De … Ancestor De, could it be that the rebel army is here?"
Yang Xiu was also puzzled.
According to reliable sources, the City Defense Army had already defeated the rebel army and were now searching the streets for them.
The rebel army was extremely far away from Cao Zhi's residence. How could they possibly appear here?
Just as the two of them were guessing, the door was kicked open.
"Who is it?!"
"How dare you barge into Young Master's residence at night. Are you tired of living?"
Yang Xiu was instantly enraged and rushed forward.
However, the person who broke the door was none other than Bai Feng!
Yang Xiu's expression instantly tensed up, but he still smiled at Bai Feng and said, "It's you.
So it's Mr Bai. May I know why Mr Bai has come to visit so late at night? "
Hearing that it was not the rebel army but Bai Feng, Cao Zhi was instantly enraged. He immediately walked out and shouted, "How dare you!
How dare you barge into my residence at night, Bai Feng! Men, drag him away and beat him up! "
However, Li Cunxiao, who was standing beside Bai Feng, raised the Bi Yan Skyscraper in his hand. How could the servants withstand such a powerful force? They immediately retreated.
Bai Feng gestured for Li Cunxiao to put down the weapon in his hand, then bowed to Cao Zhi and said,
"Young Master, I'm not here to disturb you. I'm here on Wei Emperor's orders to thoroughly investigate the rebel army."
Cao Zhi immediately shouted,
"How dare you!"
"From what you're saying, are you implying that there are rebels in my residence?"
Bai Feng smiled and stopped arguing with Cao Zhi. Instead, he looked at Yang Xiu.
"Lord Yang, you should know that I'm here to look for you."
Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes. He suddenly felt uneasy, but he did not show it. He still looked at Bai Feng with confidence.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Xiu in a low voice.
"Registrar Yang, it seems that Young Master is not very clear about your plan. Why don't you explain it to Young Master?"
"What?"
Cao Zhi was stunned when he heard this.
"De Zu, what does he mean? What plan are you hiding from me? "
Yang Xiu's face was ashen. He narrowed his eyes and said,
"Lord Bai, I don't know what you're talking about."
Although Yang Xiu was very flustered, he knew that Bai Feng already knew some things.
However, he must not admit it now!
Rebellion was a serious crime that could implicate nine generations of the family!
If he admitted to it, not only him, but the entire Yang Clan would be reduced to ashes!
However, Yang Xiu could not understand why Bai Feng could still use Wei Emperor's edict to search for him.
According to the plan, shouldn't Bai Feng have already been thoroughly investigated by Wei Emperor?
"Alright, if you don't admit it, then it's easy."
Bai Feng smiled faintly and continued.
"Since Registrar Yang can't say it here, then come with me."
After saying that, Li Cunxiao understood and hurried forward, wanting to pull Yang Xiu away.
