this day.

Although there was nothing to do, Sima Yi came to Cao Pi's place to meet him as usual.

"I've seen the son!"

Cao Pi glanced up and nodded,

"It's Zhongda here. Has anything happened in the last few days? ”

"If you go back to the world, Yang Ling has ordered to rest in the past few days, and the city is calm and calm, and there are no waves."

Sima Yi replied.

Hearing his answer, Cao Pi sighed,

"When is the end of the day?"

Since the arrival of Cao Cao's official document, he has been completely hollowed out.

In addition to his own soldiers, other officers and soldiers in the army did not like him at all.

And Yang Ling is even more excessive, and he hasn't visited Cao Pi since then!

Sima Yi didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart.

If you are given a chance, you are useless, can you blame others?

If you had listened to me, you would have ended up like this?

For now, you still stay honestly, and when Yang Ling defeats Yuan Xi, we can also share some credit.

However, looking at Cao Pi's depressed appearance, Sima Yi thought about it and said to Cao Pi,

"But there is one thing, I am afraid that the prince will be interested."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I just got the news that the third child of the Zhen family was imprisoned for greedy ink and food, and Yang Ling is preparing to interrogate him today."

"I thought what was the matter, his sister was not Yang Ling's relative, presumably Yang Ling would not embarrass him."

Cao Pi smiled disappreciatively.

"But I heard that it seems that Yang Ling is planning to punish him severely to set an example."

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said softly,

"Why didn't the prince go and intercede for Zhen Yao?"

Cao Pi was stunned, and immediately revealed a hint of enlightenment.

"Do you want me to take the opportunity to win over the Zhen family?"

"Yes, the Zhen family is really a powerful family in Jizhou. If you can win them over, it will also weaken Yang Ling in disguise. Why not? ”

Sima Yi explained with a smile.

Cao Pi thought for a while, stroked his palms and smiled,

"What you say makes a lot of sense, so let's get over here?"

"Shizi, please!"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi immediately set off and walked towards Yang Ling's court.

……

Let's talk about Yang Ling's side.

He sat in the hall, looked at Zhen Yao standing under the hall, and said with regret on his face,

"Brother-in-law, how could you do such a move?"

Zhen Yao lowered his head, his face full of shame.

After the Zhen family defected to Cao Cao, Zhen Yan, who served as the head of the family, entered the court as an official.

As for Zhen Yao, although he was promoted to filial piety, he did not have any official position.

So in order to cultivate him well, Yang Ling specially transferred him to his army and let him serve as a grain transportation officer.

But he didn't expect Zhen Yao to learn other skills, but he learned to be greedy for ink first.

This really made Yang Ling extremely sad!

While Yang Ling was muttering about what to do with Zhen Yao, Zhou Cang walked briskly from outside the door and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yang Ling's eyes lit up, and he coughed lightly,

"Zilong! How to deal with greedy ink? ”

"The last general!"

Zhao Yun stood up and said in a deep voice,

"Returning to the military division, according to the law of the army, those who are greedy for ink should be beheaded for public display!"

"Good!"

Yang Ling smiled and nodded, followed by a solemn face,

"Come on, behead Zhen Yao to show the public!"

Zhen Yao was startled and hurriedly begged for mercy,

"Strategist, please spare me for the sake of me being a first-time offender!"

"Yes, military advisor, although Zhen Yao is greedy for ink, he doesn't have much money, so let's let him go."

"The military advisor is extrajudicially gracious!"

"I also hope that the military advisor will spare Zhen Yao's life for Mrs. Zhen's sake."

The people on the side also hurriedly spoke, begging for Zhen Yao.

It's not that they have any particularly deep friendship with Zhen Yao.

It's just that they all know that Zhen Yao's sister is Yang Ling's woman.

Yang Ling may be embarrassed by face and not be merciful, but they can't be ignorant.

However, after listening to everyone's persuasion, Yang Ling was furious.

"If you don't mention Mrs. Zhen, maybe I can spare his life."

"But since Mrs. Zhen is mentioned, then I can't keep him, otherwise wouldn't it make the world laugh at me for bending the law for personal gain?"

"Come on, fork Zhen Yao out and cut it off!"

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao took the order, stepped forward, grabbed Zhen Yao and walked out!

Zhen Yao was so angry that he couldn't help but scold,

"Yang Ling, you bastard, my sister is really blind with you!"

Yang Ling was also furious, and kicked the case in front of him several times,

"It's the other way around! Give me five horses to divide the body! ”

Just as the scene was about to end, a grinning voice came.

"Why is the advisor so angry?"

Everyone raised their heads, and it turned out that Cao Pi walked in with Sima Yi.

Seeing Sima Yi coming, Yang Ling snorted coldly and said lightly,

"How is the son so free today?"

"I just happened to be passing by, and when I heard the military division making such a noise, I came in and saw it."

Cao Pi glanced at Zhen Yao with a smile,

"Dare to ask the military advisor, what happened?"

"Zilong, tell Shizi what happened."

Yang Ling's anger did not subside, and he said coldly.

So Zhao Yun opened his mouth and told Cao Pi the ins and outs of the matter.

Cao Pi listened, but laughed.

"What should I do, it's just greedy for some money."

"Zhen Gongzi's family has a big business, so he must not care about that bit of money, maybe something went wrong."

"Besides, when pacifying Jizhou, the Zhen family also made a lot of effort."

"Why don't you look at my face as a military advisor and spare Zhen Yao?"

Yang Ling frowned, and said unhappily,

"Military law is ruthless, if I spare Zhen Yao today, and others violate military law tomorrow, how should I deal with it?"

"The prince doesn't need to say much, let people kill Zhen Yao, and the right military law is it!"

Seeing that Yang Ling didn't take his words seriously at all, Cao Pi's face suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"What if I insist on keeping Zhen Yao?"

Yang Ling stared at Cao Pi for a long time, and when he saw him furious in his heart, he said lightly,

"Then I naturally won't embarrass Shizi and Zhen Yao. However, I will write a letter to Duke Wei to make this matter known to him. ”

"Whatever you want!"

Cao Pi responded coldly and said to Zhen Yao,

"You follow me!"

"Thank you, Shizi!"

Zhen Yao was overjoyed and hurriedly broke free from Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.

Before leaving, he also glared at Yang Ling viciously, the meaning is very clear, you wait for me!

Yang Ling only smiled faintly, not taking him to heart at all.

After following Cao Pi and Sima Yi out of the court, Zhen Yao said with a grateful face,

"Thanks to the world today, otherwise I would have died in the hands of Yang Ling's bastard."

"Zhen Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, then Yang Ling is mean and unkind, I just can't stand it."

Cao Pi smiled.

Sima Yi on the side chuckled,

"Master Zhen, after today, you must know who is worth taking refuge into, right?"

Zhen Yao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said,

"Of course I know, but ......"
