Cao Cao turned around and saw Bian Rang dying in front of him like this.
His face was slightly surprised, and then he immediately became angry and yelled at Bian Rang: "You coward, you fool, how can you die now?"
Dian Wei, go rescue him quickly and see if he is still alive."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Dian Wei immediately came to the edge of the cell, then squatted down, probed Bian Rang's nose with his fingers, and then shook his head at Cao Cao, indicating that Bian Rang was really dead.
Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened when he saw Dian Wei's action, and then he looked at Bian Rang who was lying on the ground.
He was so angry that Cao Cao's body began to tremble.
Originally, Cao Cao thought that Bian Rang was a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and would not die so easily.
In the end, Bian Rang actually committed suicide.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to wait for Bian Rang's forged book of collaboration with the enemy and treason to be produced before killing Bian Rang.
Death, the forged book has not yet been made, and Bian Rang is dead like this.
If this is known to those hostile elements who are ready to make a move, it will be very detrimental to the rule under Cao Cao.
"Dian Wei, hurry up and call Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, and Xiahou Dun.
Hurry up and come here to see me.
They say they have something important to discuss."
Cao Cao is indeed a traitor.
He actually calmed down at the critical moment, and then ordered his face to scream in grievance.
His most trusted ministers came to discuss the matter.
"It's my lord, I'll go right away."
Dian Wei also knew that the matter was very urgent, so he quickly stood up and said to Cao Cao, and then immediately ran out of the cell.
After Dian Wei went out, Cao Cao came to the prison and looked at Bian Yi, who was lifeless on the ground.
Cao Cao sighed slightly and said to the corpse in a disappointed tone: "Bian Yi, let me give you, why bother?"
Why did you do so many things to me before you died?"
Time did not pass very slowly, but Cao Cao felt that this period of time was very long.
At this time, the cell door opened, and Xiahou Dun was the first to walk in.
"Meng De!"
As soon as Xiahou Dun came in, he looked at Cao Cao sitting at the cell head drinking.
His eyes were a little dazed, staring at the dead Bian Rang.
Xiahou Dun subconsciously shouted to Cao Cao.
"Yuan Rang, come and sit with me."
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and pointed to a seat next to him for Xiahou Dun to sit down.
Xiahou Dun sat down and looked at Cao Cao, who had a gloomy look on his side.
He cautiously asked Cao Cao: "Mengde, Rang here is a famous scholar.
If you kill him, I'm afraid the entire Yanzhou gentry will not be convinced."
"Where did you hear that I killed him?
He committed suicide?"
Cao Cao was a little angry after hearing Xiahou Dun's words and said to him with a bad look.
"He committed suicide."
Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao in surprise.
He had just heard Dian Wei say that Bian Rang was dead, and Cao Cao called him over.
He thought it was Cao Cao who killed Bian Rang.
"It doesn't matter if he committed suicide.
Meng De didn't kill him.
What else is Meng De afraid of?"
Xiahou Dun didn't understand Cao Cao's worried look and said to Cao Cao tentatively.
"Do you know that rumors are terrible?

Rumors are terrible.
Although I did not kill him, if the news of Bian Rang's death spreads, who will think that Bian Rang committed suicide?
People in the world mistakenly thought that it was me, Cao Mengde who killed him.
Kill him."
Cao Cao sighed slightly, looked at Bian Rang's body in the distance, and said to Xiahou Dun with a sigh. "" After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xiahou Dun didn't know how to persuade Cao Cao, so he could only sit there quietly and accompany Cao Cao.
"Lord, I've brought you here."
As the two of them sat there quietly, waiting for the counselor to arrive, Dian Wei took Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and Man Chong to the cell.
When the three "lords" saw Cao Cao, they immediately saluted Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at these three people, nodded, then motioned for them to sit down, then looked at Dian Wei who was standing aside, and said seriously to Dian Wei: "Go out first and guard the door.
Don’t let anyone know what’s going on inside.
If anyone suspicious comes near this place, he will be killed without mercy.”
Dian Wei looked at Cao Cao's serious look.
He knew that Cao Cao's words were very certain, so he nodded, walked out of the cell, and went to guard the door of the cell.
"Lord, Rang is dead here."
Xi Zhi sat down and watched Dian Wei walk out.
Then he looked into the prison and found that there was no life in the prison.
The serious Cao Cao asked.
"Bian Rang committed suicide.
Now it's not a question of whether Bian Rang is dead or not.
Now we have to consider whether those wealthy families in Yanzhou will do anything outrageous if they know the news."
Cao Cao shook his head at Xi Zhicai and said , then looked down at everyone present, and said with a somewhat sad tone.
"Lord, why don't we keep the news of Bian Rang's death sealed, and wait until the forged book is made, and then spread the news of Bian Rang's death?"
Man Chong looked at Cao Cao's appearance, thought for a moment, and then faced Cao Cao Suggested his own method.
"This method doesn't work at all.
I'm afraid the news cannot be concealed.
Besides, there will always be informants in the big families who know these things.
It must be impossible to hide it, right.
Boning, are you almost done with your forged evidence?"
Cao Cao listened.
After learning about Man Chong’s method, I thought about it and felt that this method was too bad, so I rejected Man Chong’s proposal.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Man Chong said to Cao Cao with a heavy face: "Now we have Bian Rang's confession letter with his fingerprints, and Bian Rang's servants as witnesses.
The only thing missing is Bian Rang's letter to Tao Qian
.
"
"Bian Rang's calligraphy is outstanding.
Not everyone can imitate his calligraphy.
This old boy is too treacherous."
After hearing Man Chong's words, Cao Cao shook his head and said to everyone.
In order to get Bian Rang to write a letter to Tao Qian, Man Chong tried every means, but Don Rang refused to write, no matter what kind of punishment Man Chong was given, because Bian Rang knew that as long as he wrote If I read this letter, I'm afraid I really won't be able to survive.
"Zhongde, what do you think?
I told you to be silent now.
Have you thought of some way?"
Cao Cao turned his head to the two counselors aside and saw Cheng Yu lowering his head and thinking about something, so Cao Cao asked him curiously .
Cheng Yu heard that Cao Cao called him, so he raised his head and said seriously to Cao Cao: "My lord, you might as well hold a Hongmen Banquet, invite the heads of the various aristocratic families in Yanzhou, and then take the opportunity to kill them.
This way your lord The territory will be stable.”

Cao Cao was a little moved after hearing the method Cheng Yu said, but he was still hesitant and didn't know whether to take action.
So he looked at another counselor and asked him seriously: "Zhicai, what do you think of Zhongde?"
Is this method feasible?"
"Although this method is helpful for the lord to quickly stabilize his rule in Yanzhou, this method is too extreme and may cut off the lord's way to expand outwards."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao looking at him, so He expressed his opinion with a very difficult expression.
The aristocratic families and the aristocratic families occupy the land and talents.
If I really kill all the Yanzhou gentry in this way, I may become the enemy of the entire aristocratic families in the world, and the talents of these aristocratic families will not take refuge in them.
Cao Cao and possibly Xun Yu will also abandon Cao Cao.
The biggest disadvantage is that when expanding outwards, these aristocratic families will send all their strength to stop Cao Cao's expansion.
"Zhicai, do you have any good way to relieve my worries?"
Cao Cao suddenly felt a pain in his head, so he looked at Xi Zhicai who looked sad, and asked Xi Zhicai with some expectancy.
"Now the handprints of Bian Rang's confession have darkened.
Although the aristocratic families will not admit it too much, they still have to post it.
When the time comes, the lord will need to give up some official positions to these aristocratic families and give them a This may ease the relationship between the lord and the aristocratic family.
By then the aristocratic family will have benefited, and Bian Rang's death will be somewhat irrelevant."
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment, this might be the best way, so he I told Cao Cao my own method.
"As of now, this is all we can do.
If we don't give up a little bit of meat, how can we stop these wolves who want to attack?"
Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
It seems that he can only use Xi Zhicai's method
