Cao Cao put down the scroll, twirled his beard and smiled: "Feng Xiao's words really won my heart."

Guo Jia immediately stopped talking.

"However, it is true that Fu Jun broke his leg. Maybe there is an explanation."

"My lord only needs to act in accordance with the law, why do I need to answer to anyone?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Killing people to pay back debts and money is a matter of course.

Besides, it is a fact that Fu Jun broke his leg. Whoever breaks his leg will cause trouble for him. If anyone is not convinced, let him go back and take a good look at Xiao Du Lu. However, I heard that my lord is serving as the Northern Lieutenant in Luoyang.

At that time, there was a strict order not to allow horses to gallop in the busy city?"

Cao Cao was startled, then nodded.

"There is such a law."

"Xilixu is where the bustling city of Xudu is. Fu Jun and others rode on horseback and injured passers-by. We need to give some explanation according to the law."

"this……"

Cao Cao scratched his head and said softly: "This is a crime of beheading!"

"As I said before, act according to the law."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia blankly and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Fengxiao, are you trying to knock mountains and shake tigers?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and tasted it carefully.

And Cao Cao has made a decision...

On the second day after returning to Xudu, Cao Cao convened a court meeting.

After discussing all the matters, Xun Yu stood up and said: "My lord, before I did it, the case of the injured son of General Fu Wan of the auxiliary country has been backlogged for a long time. Now your Majesty and all the lords in the court are extremely concerned about this.

, but I don’t know how the lord is going to make a decision?”

"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled, "Wen Ruo can tell you the origin of the case in detail."

In fact, Cao Cao already knew the reason for this matter. The reason why he said this was because he wanted to see Xun Yu's attitude. Judging from the way Xun Yu handled this matter, he seemed to be in a dilemma. Loyal to

Cao Cao, or loyal to the Han Emperor, just depends on how he states it.

Xun Yu cleared his throat and said loudly: "The reason for the incident is very simple. On the day of the incident, Fu Jun, the son of Fu Wan, the general of Hou Fuguo, and Dong Yue, the son of former general Dong Cheng, and others, drank wine in a restaurant, and Xu Zong was in Xili.

The horse walked forward. When it arrived at the door of Huichun Hall, it knocked down Zhang who was seeking medical treatment at Huichun Hall. At that time, Zhang's nephew and Dianman, the son of Dian Wei, the general of the Tiger Guard, also went to Huichun Hall with Zhang.

Zhang's nephew saw that Fu Jun and others had injured Zhang, so he stepped forward to stop him. The two sides disagreed and started fighting. Fu Jun ordered his generals and servants, a total of more than 50 people, to besiege Zhang's nephew, not wanting to be attacked by the passing tiger captain.

Xu Chu's son Xu Yi and the four generals Cao Zhen, Zhu Zan and Cao Zun under the command of the Yue Cavalry School saw this and stepped forward to help. A fight broke out between the two sides in the street.

Deng Fan, one of Zhang's nephews, was chopped down by a general from Fujun's family.

On Fujun's side, more than 30 people were injured by Zhang's nephew, Dianman Xu Yi and others. Among them, 16 were seriously injured and seven were killed. Fujun was in the chaos of the battle and was not seriously injured.

When he was dismounted, he was trampled by his horse and his thigh was broken. He was a guest in Dianjiawu at that time. After hearing the news, he immediately ordered Dian Wei, the general of Huben, to mobilize the Huben army, blockade Xili Xu Chang Street, and capture all the people who were fighting.

…

This matter has a wide range of implications, and I feel that the case is complicated, so I have put both parties in custody. It has been more than a month now... This case cannot be delayed any longer, so I ask my lord to make a decision as soon as possible to avoid panic in the capital city."

People often say that Xun Yu was in the middle of things and was impartial.

As far as this case is concerned, he is not biased towards Fu Jun and others, nor can he speak with Cao Zhen and others in mind.

He had a completely businesslike tone. After finishing speaking, he bowed and retreated, waiting for Cao Cao's announcement...

Xu Chu returned to Xudu and heard about Xu Yi.

But because of his sensitive status, he never went to visit. However, after hearing what Xun Yu said, he subconsciously looked at Dian Wei.

But I saw Dian Wei looking at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his mouth, his mouth at his heart, and he was silent.

"Then there was no quarrel between the two parties in prison?"

"Reporting to my lord, after Fu Jun and others were imprisoned, they have been dissatisfied and made arrogant remarks, saying that they would kill Zhang and others after they got out."

Xun You stood up and answered respectfully.

Xun Yu glanced at Xun You, sighed inwardly, and said nothing.

He knew very well that Xun You and he had always had political differences. Xun You believed that Cao Cao was the only one who could rule the world at that time, and that the Han Dynasty was in decline and would be difficult to recover. However, Xun Yu was a Han minister once and always a Han minister.

.Xun Yu was younger than Xun You, but he was older than Xun You. For this reason, the two quarreled constantly, and later even turned against each other. Xun You's words were tantamount to stating his position...

"What about Zidan and the others?"

"Zi Dan is quite normal and not noisy."

Guo Jia suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Zi Dan and the others didn't make any noise, but they made a lot of noise. After he was imprisoned, he lived in the same room with a total of eight people including Zhang's nephew. Later, somehow,

He actually knew the statue of Saint Kong, and eight people exchanged golden orchids in prison, made blood alliances, and sworn brothers with different surnames... Xudu people turned this incident into a good talk, and called the eight of them: Xiaoba Yi."

"Brothers with different surnames?"

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "I heard people say that a thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find. How lucky is Zidan to have seven confidants in one day. What a blessing. What a blessing."

After saying that, Cao Cao sighed and looked lonely.

In fact, isn't he talking about himself?

I think back then, Cao Cao was a knight with a sword and full of ambition.

He knew Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others and could be regarded as friends. But who could have imagined that they would turn into enemies.

It's rare to have a close friend in life. I'm lucky to get it; it's my fate to not get it...

Today, it seems that it is no longer easy for Cao Cao to find a confidant.

Whenever he thinks of these, Cao Cao will always be filled with emotion. Yes, he is a hero of his generation, but he is also the most outstanding poet and talented man of this era.

Talented people always have many emotions.

But Cao Cao's advantage is that he can control his emotions.

After a moment of emotion, Cao Cao calmed down and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, this matter only needs to be settled in accordance with Han law, no need to worry."

After saying that, he looked at Xun You.

Judgment according to Han law?

It sounds like Cao Cao has given a basis.

But Xun You was not that confused. Cao Cao's words were ambiguous, and there seemed to be many meanings to consider.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia who was standing aside. Guo Jia smiled, nodded towards him, then drooped his eyelids and stopped looking at him.

Just a smile and a nod gave Xun You many answers.

"According to Xiao Du's rules, if Fu Jun and others fight in the street, they will be detained for one month and each will be given twenty canes."

After Xun You finished speaking, he glanced at Guo Jia again and saw Guo Jia nodded slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Xun You continued: "Cao Zhen and others have been detained for more than a month. They only need to make up for twenty sticks each and they will be released immediately. Although Zhang's nephew participated in the fight, he is the owner of the suffering and has excusable circumstances.

Twenty sticks will be spared, and they will be released immediately; Fujun rides his horse in a busy city, hurts someone, and then beats the victim. This is a serious crime..."

Suddenly, Xun You saw Guo Jia shaking his head slightly and sitting on the couch, his body rising and falling slightly as if he were riding a horse.

I couldn't help but be startled, but I quickly woke up.

"The one who hurt others is Fujun's mount, so he has nothing to do with Fujun.

According to the law, if someone is injured in a busy city, he will be punished with an eighty stick; if Fujun fails to train his horse well, he will be fined thirty gold and ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes. The slaves of the house that participated in the fight will be punished with one year of hard labor in the army. Fujun will have his leg broken.

It has nothing to do with Cao Zhen, so his mount is guilty of hurting others, and his staff is eighty."

Just say that no one made a mistake in this matter, it was the horse who made the mistake.

One hundred and sixty strokes... I guess that horse can be used for barbecue! Xun You didn't punish Fu Jun on the surface, but this slap hit Fu Wan's face hard. I dunk it

Your family will be forced to do hard labor, and your son's legs will be broken in vain, and you will have to pay for a horse and thirty gold for the ride. However, I saved your son's face and there was no real punishment.

.

With such a verdict, the people naturally applauded and praised, but the scholars had nothing to say.

The Han Emperor's face can also be saved... You said you wanted me not to punish Fu Jun. You see, I really didn't punish him and let him go!

What is the hidden needle in the cotton?

Xun You's skill is called hiding needles in the cotton.

No matter what others think, Xun Yu is satisfied!

At least on the surface, the lord still cares about His Majesty's face. In other words, the lord, at least for now, has no rebellious intentions.

Xun Yu couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Since there is no objection, it is decided!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand for everyone to disperse. He stood up and prepared to go back to the inner room to rest.
