Three Kingdoms: From the Start, I Behead Cao Aman

"My lord, save me! Your subordinate got drunk and lost his senses. Following the portrait, I cut off Cao Cao's head in the prison." Liu Xia seemed not to notice Chen Gong's horrified expression and continued on his own. "Cao Cao came from a family of powerful eunuchs, and he himself is a talented man with countless ties to the noble clans. By killing him by mistake, I've not only earned universal condemnation but also offended both the eunuchs and the noble families. The Han empire may be vast, but I fear there's nowhere left for your subordinate to go. I beg you to take pity on me and show me how I might survive."

Chen Gong had already accepted that Cao Cao was dead, and had planned to personally take his head to Luoyang to claim a reward. But after hearing Liu Xia's words, he couldn't help reconsidering. After much deliberation, Chen Gong ultimately didn't dare stake his family's fortunes on a single gamble. He said, "Liu Xia, you killed a prisoner without my orders. That's a grave crime in itself. And with so little regard for me, why should I save your life? Don't drag anyone else into the trouble you've caused. Tomorrow, take Cao Cao's head to Luoyang and claim your reward."
