In the early morning of the next day, many family members of the Cao Mansion had just washed up and gathered in the dining hall for a meal, when they saw the servants rushing in in a panic.Normally, the servant would not show such a flustered look, let alone disturb him during the meal—unless...

"When exactly?" Cao Song guessed that something terrible happened, but he was also very dissatisfied with the servant's gaffe.

"My... my lord..." The servant lowered his head in fear, "Song Houye...something happened..."

Cao Cao's hand holding the chopsticks froze.

The Song family lived in a Marquis, so the Marquis Song was naturally referring to Song Qi's father.

At this time, Cao Song was obviously a little surprised: "What happened to Lord Song?"

As soon as he asked the exit, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from a distance.But he saw Cao Chi rushing in panting and anxious, and he didn't even have time for the servant to inform him.

"Brother!" Cao Chi said anxiously as soon as he saw Cao Song, "An accident happened in the Song family, do you know?!"

Cao Chi's daughter married Song Qi, relatively speaking, Cao Chi naturally received the information earlier.

At this time, the female relatives on the dining table also stood up and took a few steps back.Even they are aware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Last night... was killed."

"What?!" For a moment, whether it was Cao Song, Cao Cao, or the female relatives, they all looked at Cao Chi in disbelief.

Cao Chi barely controlled his excitement and said, "Everyone in the Song Mansion was killed last night! Lord Song Hou and Song Qi were all killed!"

"Execution?! What the hell is going on?!"

Cao Cao was obviously unwilling to accept this matter.Yesterday he had a dispute with Song Qi over Zhang Rang's matter, and today Song Qi was executed! ?How does this make him accept it!

Cao Chi's face showed a look of grief. To him, Song Qi is no lack of a good son-in-law: "It is said that he got Zhang Rang's criminal evidence, but Zhang Rang bit back, and even framed that the witchcraft of Empress Song was Under the instructions of the Song family. Now... all the men in the Song residence have been killed, and they are not even allowed to be buried, and they are discarded at the gate of the city! I am afraid that the Cao family will be involved, so I came to tell you in the morning."

no burial...

Abandoned Corpse City Gate...

Cao Cao's brain went crazy.Without caring about anything else, he rushed directly outside the house.Don't read for fear that something might happen, so he hastily chased after him.



At the gate of the city, the merchants and ordinary people who came and went frightenedly bypassed the row of corpses hanging at the gate of the city for no reason, for fear that if they were not careful, they would have something to do with the dead.

Cao Cao stood motionless under the city gate, staring at Song Qi's body for a long time without saying a word.

Bu Nian walked to Cao Cao's side tremblingly.When she came here, she had seen many corpses, but Song Qi was more familiar to her.Such an elegant man, such an ambitious man.The familiar Chinese clothes were already stained with stains.As soon as the summer wind blew, the corpse was floating on the tower.

Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed out loud.His smile was misty and distant, but his eyes contained endless sadness.

For Cao Cao, Song Qi is not only Cao Cao's brother-in-law, but also his best friend, his life-and-death acquaintance side by side.

"I should stop him..."

Don't want to grab Cao Cao's hand, as if wanting to give him strength: "Meng De, if you're sad, just say it."

History cannot be stopped.The demise of the Han Dynasty cannot be changed.And those loyal courtiers are destined to sacrifice.

At some point, all the female family members of the Song Mansion gathered around the gate of the city.Before, they only knew that all the men in the mansion were taken away by the emperor, and they did not expect such a catastrophe.

For a while, the gates of the city were filled with the weeping and sobbing of the female family members of the Song Mansion.Among the female relatives, suddenly a girl with exquisite facial features raised her tearful eyes and glared fiercely at Cao Cao.

"It's your fault! It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you, my husband would have died! You coward!" The girl cried and threw herself on Cao Cao.Cao Cao didn't dodge the slightest bit, but just shielded Bu Nian behind him to prevent her from being hurt.

It wasn't until he realized that the girl was Cao Chi's daughter and Song Qi's wife.

"It's your fault! You clearly tracked down Zhang Rang with your husband, why did only your husband report it in the end! Cao Cao, you coward! If Cao's house was with you, how could Song's house be in such a catastrophe?!" The girl cried heartbreakingly Lung, Cao Cao is still smiling, neither explaining nor denying.

It was a smile that hurt more than crying.

Because of the emperor's order, the corpses of the men of the Song Mansion could only be hung at the gate of the city.Let the wind blow, let the rain hit.For a long time after that, the weeping and mourning voices of the female family members of the Song Mansion could be heard at the gate of the bustling Luoyang city.

When returning to Cao Mansion, Cao Cao never said a word.

Bu Nian looked at Cao Cao distressedly, she knew that all of this was not what Cao Cao thought, but if Cao Cao and Song Qi had reported on Zhang Rang that day, it would not only be the man from the Song Mansion who was hanging at the gate of the city.

He is no longer that young man who can do whatever he wants and act on his will.

He had to think carefully and make plans for the entire Cao Mansion.

"Mend..."

In the dead of night, in the deserted streets.

Cao Cao took a few steps forward and hugged Bu Nian into his arms.His tone was full of pain: "Don't read it, what should I do? How should I govern this dynasty? How should I assist this king!"

Bu Nian slowly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Cao Cao's back, and comforted Cao Cao in a soft voice: "It's up to you, I know you've tried your best."

The gears of fate will not change, and the phrase "a capable minister in a world of governance, a traitor in a troubled world" has long been doomed.

Suddenly, the sound of a carriage came from the night sky.

Cao Cao trembled, and Bu Nian looked at the same time.By the moonlight, one can vaguely recognize the pattern on the curtain of the carriage and the precious dark purple silk and satin.

It is the carriage of Yuan Mansion.

Cao Cao stepped forward a few steps and blocked the carriageway: "When did the Yuan Mansion act like this, walking around during the night ban?!"

In the carriage, someone sighed lightly.When that person raised the curtain of the car, he couldn't help being stunned, it was Yuan Shao.

"Meng De." Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao and Bu Nian, and said, "Don't talk about Wang Fa, aren't you wandering here late at night?"

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao in the carriage fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Which desperado did you save again, and let him be your assistant?!"

I don't want to know, during this time, Yuan Shao has used his private power to support many aides, and changed the identity of many desperadoes.As for the reason why Yuan Shao was safe and sound, Princess Pingyi can be said to have used the greatest power.Including threatening the emperor with his life.

"Meng De...do you still want to persist in this dynasty?" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other for a long time, and said, "Compared with Zhang Rang, what are we who have no king's law? Meng De, This country will be eaten away by moths!"

"Shut up!" Cao Cao shouted, eyes full of anger.

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly: "I think you are a smart person. The world is not benevolent and treats everything as a dog. If you want to guard this country, it is better to control this country yourself!"

With a sigh, Yuan Shao put down the curtain in his hand, the coachman waved his whip, and the carriage disappeared again in the dark night.

Bu Nian only felt that his chest was congested.

Cao Cao's grand ambition will eventually turn into a lament, and then go further and further away, no one can stop and change it.
