Five days had passed since the chaos in Xuchang City.
In these five days, the situation in Xuchang City had changed drastically.
In just five days, Bai Feng had thoroughly investigated several landowning households and taken them all away!
He was swift and decisive and did not allow for any explanation.
Immediately, all the landowning households were in danger. They closed their doors tightly and did not interact with outsiders.
Bai Feng had Wei Emperor's imperial edict in his hands!
Who would dare to disobey?
Even if they were innocent, as long as Bai Feng came to take them away, the entire household would have to follow him!
Once they found out that they were related, the entire household would be destroyed!
At this moment, in Cao Cao's bedroom in Cao Cao's residence.
Bai Feng slowly walked to Cao Cao's bed.
At this moment, Cao Cao's complexion seemed to be better, but he was still extremely weak and could not get out of bed at all.
However, his gaze was exceptionally sharp!
It was filled with murderous intent!
"Sir, have these people spoken?"
Cao Cao's voice was a little weak.
Bai Feng cupped his fists slightly and said,
"The two of them are stubborn and have not spoken yet, but …"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"But what?"
Bai Feng continued,
"But in these few days, I have thought about the specific process of this matter."
After that, Bai Feng told Cao Cao everything he had thought of.
The mastermind of this matter had been confirmed. It was definitely the Xun uncle and nephew!
Cao Cao immediately frowned slightly.
"Are there any accomplices?"
Bai Feng nodded without hesitation.
Cao Cao understood and said in a low voice,
"I'll leave this matter to you. Go ahead and do it."
After that, Cao Cao lay down again.
Bai Feng could clearly see that Cao Cao's current condition was very bad.
Even if he healed his wounds, it would probably be useless.
Boss Cao probably did not have much time left.
After all, he was so old and had lost so much blood. He couldn't possibly create blood out of thin air and snatch him back from the Grim Reaper.
Seeing that Cao Cao had already laid down, Bai Feng bowed again and left.
Cao Cao's meaning was clear.
Kill!
As long as they were related, they would all be killed!
From the looks of it, Boss Cao was prepared to die. He knew that he didn't have much time left.
It was likely that Boss Cao wanted to pave the way for future generations before he died.
Whether it was Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, if they succeeded the throne, they would not be able to control the landowning households like Cao Cao did.
If the landowning households were to take advantage of the situation, then the empire that Boss Cao had fought so hard for would be destroyed.
Although Cao Pi was indeed capable, he still couldn't avoid the Sima Clan's usurpation of power.
After the death of Cao Pi, whether it was Cao Rui or the other emperors, they were all puppets of the Sima clan.
During this period, Zhuge Sheng and the others who wanted to rebel against the Sima clan all failed.
If Cao Cao didn't deal with the landowning households before he died, it would definitely become a disaster.
Bai Feng shook his head helplessly.
…
Before he knew it, Bai Feng had returned home.
In the entire Xuchang City, only Bai Feng dared to leave his house.
When Ling Ju saw Bai Feng, she was slightly surprised and said,
"Sir, you're back?"
Then, a woman walked out.
Bai Feng took a closer look.
Standing next to Ling Ju was Diao Chan.
"What are you doing here?"
Bai Feng frowned slightly. After returning to his room, he drank the tea that Ling Ju had brewed for him and asked in a low voice.
Diao Chan smiled bitterly and said,
"Mr. Bai has been busy these days. Miss missed him but didn't dare to disturb him, so she sent me to your residence to take a look.
"Fortunately, you came back. I didn't come back empty-handed."
Bai Feng's heart suddenly tightened.
During this period of time, too many things had happened in Xuchang City. He had indeed neglected Cao Jie.
Regarding this, Bai Feng couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He had just returned from the Xiongnu tribe and had only stayed for one night before leaving to send Cai Yan home.
Now that he had just returned and hadn't even met her, the entire Xuchang City had already undergone such a huge change.
Fortunately, the place where the incident happened a few days ago was still quite far from the Prime Minister's residence.
In addition, Cao Cao didn't return to the Prime Minister's residence and the city guards arrived in time.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Cao Jie fell into the hands of the rebel army.
Seeing Bai Feng's serious expression, Diao Chan shook her head helplessly and said, "Sir, please go ahead.
Since I see that you're fine, I'll report to Miss.
"However, it's best that you take some time to visit Miss.
"Miss has always been quiet, unhappy, and unhappy. But ever since she met Sir, her entire personality has changed."
"Miss's eyes lit up every time Sir was mentioned.
"She was so happy when she knew that Sir was on the way back from the Xiongnu tribe to Xuchang City."
Speaking of this, Bai Feng suddenly had mixed feelings. His heart, which had been silent for a long time, was slowly moved.
Originally, Boss Cao had wanted to choose a date for his and Cao Jie's wedding.
However, so many things had happened in the blink of an eye. This matter could only be delayed indefinitely.
Moreover, Boss Cao's condition was very bad now. It was hard to say how long he would last.
The matter between him and Cao Jie …
Thinking of this, Bai Feng shook his head helplessly.
After Diao Chan left, a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Seeing that Bai Feng didn't look too good, Lingju immediately asked with concern.
Bai Feng shook his head and said, "Xuchang City is going to change.
You and Lv Lingqi go to the Prime Minister's residence to accompany Cao Jie. You must protect her well.
"There's still Li Yuanba and Qin Liangyu at home. You don't have to worry."
Lingju was slightly taken aback when she heard this, but she still nodded.
He wants me to go to the Prime Minister's residence?
What if I can't control myself and kill Cao Cao?
Bai Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry.
"Don't worry. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to kill Cao Cao."
Lingju was instantly stunned.
"Sir, what do you mean by that?"
Bai Feng sighed and said, "A few days ago, there was an assassination attempt.
"There was an assassination attempt a few days ago. Cao Cao was severely injured and doesn't have much time left."
"Don't think about avenging your father. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."
Lingju instantly had mixed feelings when she heard this.
Traitor Cao was going to die?
But he wouldn't be killed by her own hands.
Should she be sad or happy about this?
After Lingju left, Bai Feng clearly felt that Cao Cao would take action by tomorrow at the latest.
As the saying goes, when an emperor is angry, millions of corpses will fall.
Although Cao Cao was only a king at the moment, he wasn't an emperor yet.
But if Cao Cao really wanted to kill, these nobles wouldn't be able to stop him.
Where should he go from here?
Suddenly, Bai Feng seemed to have lost her direction.
After Cao Cao's death, whether it was Cao Pi or Cao Zhi succeeding the throne, Bai Feng didn't want to assist them anymore.
Cao Zhi? Bai Feng didn't like him at all. Moreover, he took Yang Xiu away.
Cao Pi? Sima Yi was extremely wary of him. Cao Pi was so biased towards Sima Yi, how could he tolerate him?
