    Liu Ke stayed at home comfortably, and even Lu Su couldn't break the tranquility until Xun You came back.

    The Yangzhou Army was fighting in the north. Liu Ke was worried that Cao Cao was making moves, so he sent Xun You to keep an eye on him.

    During this period, Cao Cao was very honest.

    Now that Xun You suddenly came to visit, Liu Ke couldn't help but feel worried.

    "Greetings to my lord!" Xun You said.

    "No need to be polite, is there an emergency?" Liu Ke asked.

    "Nothing happened in Chang'an." Xun You said, "I came to visit my lord this time for another matter."

    "What's the matter?" Liu Kedao said.

    "My lord, do you still remember Cheng Yu?" Xun You asked.

    Liu Ke finally woke up, it turned out to be for this matter!

    At the beginning, Liu Ke fought with the Allies and formulated a policy to attack Yanzhou, but later some intelligence was leaked. Cao Cao called on the younger brothers in Yuzhou to attack Jiujiang County.

    Cheng Yu seems to have played a decisive role in why Yuan Shu betrayed Liu Ke and joined Cao Cao's side.

    Yangzhou itself is rarely threatened, but this time, Yuan Shu led his army to attack Jiujiang County. If Liu Ke hadn't been prepared, they would have succeeded long ago.

    So during the war, Liu Ke ordered the arrest of Cheng Yu, but did not deal with it.

    Because there has been no conviction yet.

    Speaking of which, Liu Ke also has some responsibility for this matter.

    At first, Liu Kaicai forcibly brought Cheng Yu back from Cao Cao.

    This leads to a problem, that is, Cheng Yu's loyalty is not high.

    " But Liu Ke didn't take it seriously and failed to win over Cheng Yu in time, which caused the monarch and his ministers to become alienated.

    "Gongda is here for Cheng Yu?" Liu Ke asked.

    "Exactly, Cheng Yu has been in prison for a long time. No matter what, he should make a decision." Xun You said.

    Xun You had some friendship with Cheng Yu, and Liu Ke knew about it, but he didn't feel wary because of it.

    "I know, I will deal with it as soon as possible." Liu Kedao.

    Xun You did not continue to plead, but stopped at that point. He was very smart, but his goal had been achieved.

    Liu Ke didn¡¯t like procrastination in doing things, so the next day, he took Dian Wei with him and headed to Dongyang City Prison.

    As soon as he entered, Liu Ke smelled a pungent smell.

    That¡¯s so sour and refreshing!

    Yangzhou's economy has developed and the people are beginning to become wiser, but some bad habits still remain.

    It¡¯s like a prison!

    There are no perfect facilities in today¡¯s prisons. If prisoners want to solve their physical problems, they can only go anywhere

    As for letting him go to the toilet, do you think it¡¯s possible?

    ¡°Of course, this is a prison somewhere else.  The ones in Yangzhou are more humane, with special wooden barrels that are cleaned every three days.

    The stench is inevitable.

    Liu Ke doesn¡¯t think he is very delicate, but as a clean person, it¡¯s still hard to accept it.

    So, before entering the prison, Liu Ke reprimanded the warden.

    And after Jia Xu got the news, he came in person.

    "Wen He, do you have nothing to do?" Liu Kedao said.

    "As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I am in charge of this place. When the lord comes to inspect, it is natural for me to accompany him." Jia Xu said.

    "Okay, let me ask you, isn't Yangzhou rich enough now?" Liu Ke asked.

    "Yangzhou's wealth is unique in the world." Jia Xu said.

    "Did the Ministry of Household Affairs deduct money from the Ministry of Punishment?" Liu Ke asked again.

    "Reporting to my lord, no." Jia Xu said.

    "Then why is the Ministry of Punishment so poor?" Liu Ke pointed at the prison.

    "My lord, there's just no need to spend money on such a place." Jia Xu said.

    "If we want to make progress, we must start from small things. I am not asking for huge sums of money to be rectified, but the sanitary conditions must be good." Liu Kedao.

    "I understand." Jia Xu said.

    Afterwards, Liu Ke entered the prison and came to the room where Cheng Yu was imprisoned.

    As soon as you come in, your sense of smell seems to be assimilated, and there is no previous stench.

    Liu Ke saw the embarrassed Cheng Yu at a glance, asked everyone to retreat, and talked to Cheng Yu alone:

    "Zhongde, do you still remember me?"

    Cheng Yu¡¯s eyes were a little dull, it was obvious that he had been imprisoned for a long time, but he still reluctantly held up his hands and said: "Master, what???Have you time to come to this dirty place?  "

    "You actually still remember me as my lord, I thought you only remembered Cao Cao." Liu Kedao.

    Hearing this, Cheng Yu sighed.

    "After staying in Yangzhou for so long, don't you have any feelings at all?" Liu Kedao said.

    "No." Cheng Yu denied.

    "Yangzhou is a paradise that I have worked hard to manage. The people live and work here in peace and contentment. How can you bear to destroy it?" Liu Ke asked.

    "It's hard to put it into words." Cheng Yu said dejectedly.

    "Even if you are willing to explain, I don't want to listen. What are your plans now?" Liu Kedao.

    "The guilty minister is just a prisoner, what can he do? It's all up to the lord to deal with it!" Cheng Yu said.

    "If you are willing to return to Cao Cao, I will not object." Liu Kedao.

    Hearing these words, Cheng Yu closed his eyes and said: "I owe my lord so much that I no longer want to go back. I am still alive just to see my lord!"

    "Since you don't want to go back, just stay and atone for your sins!" Liu Kedao said, "Help me and let the people live a better life."

    "My lord! The guilty minister betrayed you!" Cheng Yu emphasized.

    "You are the first person to betray me. You should have been put to death as a warning to others. But this is too easy for you. People should pay the price for what they have done." Liu Kedao, "Don't think about dying, if not  You and I can't solve Yuzhou's troubles. Sometimes, it's easier to deal with the enemy taking the initiative than waiting for an opportunity."

    "Even if my lord pardons me, I'm afraid my former colleagues won't be able to forgive me," Cheng Yu said.

    "Just do your job well. If not, just be a lonely minister." Liu Kedao.

    A lonely minister?

    Cheng Yu suddenly understood what Liu Ke meant.

    Since ancient times, kings have had their own eagles and dogs!

    During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, famous cruel officials included Zhang Tang, Zhao Yu, Wang Wenshu and others. Their status depended entirely on the trust of the monarch. Anyone who opposed the monarch would be dealt with specifically, and they would use any means.

    If a monarch wants to get rid of a minister, he cannot go into battle naked. This is the living space of hawks and dogs.

    "In this life, I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord!" Cheng Yu said sonorously and forcefully.

    What Liu Ke values ????is Cheng Yu's ruthlessness. He even dared to force Emperor Xian to kill Yanzhou with heads rolling.

    At the same time, this person is also very capable and has a methodical approach to everything he does.

    If it were the past, Liu Keda would not have needed to develop eagle dogs, and everyone would be happy.

    However, this time, too many demoted officials from Jizhou and Youzhou were accepted, and the team began to become redundant.

    It is impossible for Liu Ke to refuse them all.

    At this time, someone needs to come out to prune the branches.

    Cheng Yu made mistakes and is a suitable candidate.  Of course, it is also because Liu Ke has a love for talents.

    As for whether Cheng Yu will continue to rebel, Liu Ke decided to trust the system.

    After this incident, Cheng Yu¡¯s loyalty has reached 100.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
