In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Taiwei Yang Biao and Yuan Shu intermarried and jointly expanded the power of the two companies, seriously threatening the power of Cao Cao . Cao Cao hated this matter very much, so he wanted to frame Yang Biao and use it to remove him from his post. So, Cao Cao found an excuse and ordered the government to arrest Yang Biao and imprison him, allowing Man Chong to try the case. When the court was about to begin, Yang Biao's friend ministers Kong Rong and Xun Yu knew that Man Chong also had a good relationship with Yang Biao, so he instructed Man Chong: "Just write down Yang Biao's confession, don't torture and interrogate." Man Chong ignored his words, ignored them, and still tortured and interrogated Yang Biao in accordance with past regulations. A few days later, Man Chong went to see Cao Cao and said, "Although Yang Biao was severely tortured, he had no confession. This person is famous all over the country. If he doesn't understand the conviction and sentencing, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people, so he asked the Prime Minister for advice in private." Cao Cao thought about it over and over again, and felt that Yang Biao still refused to confess, which was indeed not good for punishment, so he pardoned Yang Biao. When Xun Yu and Kong Rong heard that Man Chong had tortured Yang Biao, they were very angry and believed that Man Chong was forced by Cao Cao's power to sell his friends for honor, so they broke up with him. After Yang Biao was released and understood Man Chong's good intentions, he became kind to Man Chong again.
[Ah Wu Enlightenment] This example typically reflects that you should "hidden but not clear" when doing big things. As a law enforcement officer, and as a friend, although he was also determined to save Yang Biao who was wronged, and there were instructions from Xun Yu, Kong Rong and others, if he agreed to the request in person, it would be very easy to leak news in advance and let others know his true thoughts. If he did not torture according to regulations, it would definitely arouse Cao Cao's suspicion. Not only would he not be able to save Yang Biao, but he would also trap himself in. The ancients said: If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not secret, he will lose his body. From ancient times to the present, Ah Fu has only heard of "making a fortune in silence" and "achieving great things without making plans with others", and of course, he has also seen many cases of dying quickly in high-profile singing.
