Zhang Ji looked anxious and said, "Shen Pei said that he found several boxes of gold and silver at Xu You's home a few days ago!"

Yuan Shao was stunned again and said in confusion: "Ziyuan loves money, you don't know that it's not surprising that it's not surprising that you found gold and silver in his home!"

Zhang Ji was sweating coldly. After all, this matter involved Xu You's fortune and life and life and death of Yuan Jun. He could not help but be careful. Although he was not in dealing with Xu You, Zhang Ji was honest and said something. Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't care, he hurriedly said: "Ziyuan loves money, as we all know, this...is not surprising, but... those letters are..."

Seeing that Zheng Ji wanted to say something but stopped, Yuan Shao knew that something big had happened, so he quickly put down the bamboo silk in his hand and asked, "But what is it? Yuantu doesn't have to hide it."

Zheng Ji gritted his teeth and said, "This is not the lower part. Behind people, the spokespersons speak ill of each other. Those letters were written by Cao Cao to Xu You."

"What?" Yuan Shao was shocked, stood up suddenly and asked, "Be serious about this?"

Zheng Ji smiled bitterly and said, "That's true!"

It turned out that this happened a few days ago. Shen Pei, who was responsible for collecting food and grass in Yecheng, suddenly received a letter saying, "Xu You collected several boxes of gold and silver from Cao Cao, intending to cooperate with Cao Cao to seize Jizhou!". In such a big deal, Shen Pei did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly brought the soldiers to Xu You's mansion in person. As the letter said, Shen Pei found several boxes of gold and silver, as well as the letters written by Cao Cao to Xu You. Mrs. Xu You claimed that this was the family wealth Xu You had accumulated before, not the gift from Cao Cao. Shen Pei would certainly not believe such nonsense. He ordered people to carry the gold and silver away on the spot and confiscated Xu You's family.

"Come here!" Yuan Shao shouted outside the tent in anger: "Go and call Xu You to see me!"

Soon, Xu You walked into Yuan Shao's handsome tent with a short walk. He had been very leisurely these days. Yuan Shao would not ask him anything anyway. Xu You would drink tea and relieve boredom in his tent every day, reading and relieve worries. When he suddenly heard Yuan Shao call him, Xu You came over lazyly.

Seeing Xu You in this state, Yuan Shao was so angry that he came and shouted: "Xu You, I will take you well, why are you against me?"

Xu You was stunned when he heard this, and was puzzled. Although he did not give advice for Yuan Shao, he did not do anything out of the ordinary. Now that Yuan Shao would say this, Xu You was unhappy on the spot and asked in confusion: "You, stay in his tent every day, how can you say something against the Lord? Even if the lord doesn't like me, Xu You, there is no need to slander me like this, right?"

"Hmph!" Yuan Shao threw the letter in his hand at Xu You and cursed: "The one who is betrays the Lord dares to argue. You can take a good look at it yourself. What are these?"

Xu You picked up the letter and opened it to watch it. He didn't care about it before, but as he looked down, the more cold sweat it was on his forehead. Finally, Xu You no longer dared to read it and quickly defended himself: "My lord, I have never received any letters from Cao Cao. I wonder where did the lord get these letters?"

Zheng Ji sneered: "These letters are all collected from your Xu Ziyuan, your home in Yecheng, and there are several boxes of gold and silver!"

"What?" Xu You was shocked and said to him, "It's because he was not a family, but if he didn't enter the family, what kind of temperament is his wife? Xu You knew that at this moment, Xu You could guess that it must be his wife's greed for money, so he was the other person's words. However, Xu You wouldn't say it like this."

Then, Xu You looked disbelief and said quickly: "Since the lord led his army to the south, he has been following his lord. Even if he wants to contact him, he has to send him to this military camp? Yuantu, lord, you might as well calm down and think carefully. Is this the reason? From this we can see that this must be his Cao Mengde's plan to alienate him. You must not be fooled by lord!"

Pang Ji sneered repeatedly and replied: "Since the death of the third prince, the lord has resented you, Xu Ziyuan, but he has never done anything to sorry for you. However, you, Xu You, have always been arrogant and arrogant, and you, are treated coldly by your lord, and you, Xu You, must be complaining. At this time when the two armies are fighting, it is not surprising that you will inevitably do some unexpected things, right?"

Xu You was speechless. When he saw Yuan Shao's cold eyes, he couldn't help but feel shocked and defended anxiously: "Lord, this is just a one-sided statement from Jiang Ji. I have been in the military camp. Even if Cao Cao is interested in contacting me, those letters were found in Yecheng, and I have no way to know! Besides, I dare to swear that I have never read these letters!"

At this time, Chunyu Qiong walked in from outside the tent, his face was cold. When passing by Xu You, he glared at him fiercely, then came to Yuan Shao, took out several letters from his arms and handed them to Yuan Shao, reporting: "Lord, these letters were all found in Xu You's tent!"

Yuan Shao took the letter and when he opened it and flipped through it, his face became increasingly ugly. At the end, Yuan Shao's whole body was trembling slightly. He glared at Xu You resentfully, rubbed the letter in his hand into a ball, smashed it on Xu You's face, and cursed: "Xu Ziyuan, you dare to say that you have never contacted Cao Cao. You can take a look at it yourself. What are these?"

Xu You's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly picked up the paper ball, opened it to see. On it, there were some ambiguous words with Cao Cao. The lines were all complaining about Yuan Shao and praising Cao Cao. Moreover, these handwritings were exactly the same as Xu You himself!

"How could this be? How could this be?" Xu You's face turned pale. He was sure that these letters were not from his Xu You's hands. However, now some letters with his Xu You's handwriting appeared, which made him wonder what to do.

Yuan Shao said coldly: "At this point, what else do you have to say?"

Xu You hurriedly knelt down to Yuan Shao and explained sincerely: "Lord, I dare to use my life to guarantee you, and I have never written these letters!"

Chunyu Qiong laughed and said, "The handwriting on these letters is all your own. Is it because others can't write it? The lord treats you as much as a mountain. Unexpectedly, you Xu Ziyuan are such a person."

Xu You explained panickedly: "Lord, you have to believe me. We have met since childhood. You should know what kind of person I, Xu You, are! It is true that I am greedy for money, but I will never do such a thing that is contrary to the Lord."

Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "I only know you since childhood that I believe that you, Xu You, can do such a thing."

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xu You's heart was like falling into an ice cave. Now the evidence is conclusive. Although he didn't know where these letters came from, he was still unreasonable. In addition, Chunyu Qiong, Pang Ji and others have always been incompatible with him, and they will even take the blame for the consequences.

As expected, Bing Ji's face was cold and suggested to Yuan Shao: "Lord, at this time of war between our army and Cao's army, Xu You, as the lord's tent, actually had letters with Cao Cao. This shows that a few days ago, our army could not capture Guandu for a long time. It must be his Xu You, who interfered with it. I suggest that he should kill Xu You immediately to serve as a warning to you!"

Chunyu Qiong laughed and said, "Yes, Xu You has acted against the Lord, and it is not guaranteed. The third son was also the one who was killed by him, Xu You and Cao Cao."

At this moment, Yuan Shao was struggling in his heart. He knew that Xu You loved money as his life. Some things, as long as you give money, Xu You would help. However, in major matters, Xu You could still distinguish the priorities. Yuan Shao suspected that someone was framed by this matter. However, the evidence is conclusive now. If Xu You is not punished severely, it may make others feel disappointed.

After hearing the words of Chunyu Qiong and Pang Ji, Xu You complained in his heart. While looking at Yuan Shao who was silent, he hoped that Yuan Shao would see him and give him Xu You a chance to give him the same kindness as he did his best in the past.

Now that things have come, Xu You has no other way except to deny it.

After hesitating for a long time, Guo Tu rushed over after hearing the news. Yuan Shao quickly asked Guo Tu what he meant. Guo Tu looked pity. He knew that Xu You would not do such a ridiculous thing and such a clumsy plan of disagreement. Guo Tu could see at a glance that if it were the past, even without Guo Tu's advice, Xu You himself could have made a clear explanation. However, Yuan Shao now has resentment towards Xu You. Although Yuan Shao knew that it was not Xu You who did it, he also had the intention to punish Xu You.

Thinking of this, Guo Tu naturally wanted to cater to Yuan Shao's intentions and replied immediately: "Lord, although Xu You contacted Cao Cao, according to his opinion, this is just a greeting between old friends. However... Now our army is fighting with Cao's army, so we have to treat it carefully. This shows that Xu You is indeed suspected of colluding with the enemy. However, I hope that the lord will spare Xu You's life because of Xu You's past contributions and that he has not really colluded with the enemy!"

Yuan Shao got what he wanted and shouted coldly: "What the Lord said is reasonable, but Xu You's death penalty can be avoided, and he can't escape the life penalty. Take it on, beat a hundred major boards and remove the official position to observe the future results!"

Xu You was in a daze. Although he escaped the death penalty, his loyalty to Yuan Shao was squandered by Yuan Shao at this moment.

I think of him, Xu You, who was smart and clever since he was young, has been famous for his reputation. Since following Yuan Shao, he has even given him advice and worked hard to get his wish, so that Yuan Shao got Jizhou as he wished, and later defeated Gongsun Zan and became a powerful prince who could compete with Yang Fan. Of course, his strategy of Xu You is indispensable. It is precisely because of Xu You that Yuan Shao has become one of the two heroes in Hebei so easily, with the power to fight for the Central Plains, and the ambition to dominate the world.

It has to be said that even Yuan Shao himself admitted that it was because of Xu You that he dared to use military and plan so unscrupulously and compete for the world.

However, what happened now made Yuan Shao feel a grudge against Xu You. Even if he couldn't bear to kill Xu You, Yuan Shao would no longer use it as much as he did before.
