This day had been significantly more active than the previous one, now as most advisors sprung from their seats making elaborate arguments accusing the others of being the ones behind the death of Xiahou Dun. Probably the fire started at night and the fact that someone had indeed been killed probably had made them all edgy and eager to find out who was behind the plot, rather than caring about a spy who wouldn't harm them directly, yet which could endanger them in battle.
Regardless, hours passed and the council had focussed on three members, until atheotes rose from his seat and acused his colleague. "It was Yaseikhaan! Remember that he previously served our enemy Liu Bei and his heart has never left that petty wandering bandit!" Other advisors who had also accused Yaseikhaan nodded and cried in choir "atheotes is right! It can only be Xu Shu!"
Therefore Xu Shu was seized by the guards, and Cao Cao called. "What they say is exactly what I think. You served Liu Bei and your plans killed many lives when you were under him. While you served me, you couldn't come up with any devious plans of your own, and now that I am before my moment of glory, you intend to alienate me from my trusted advisors and have murdered my cousin? I suppose the death of your mother was not reason enough to understand you should never deal with that coward Liu Bei?" Cao Cao's expression than changed, "And you would dare kill me???" Cried Cao Cao, visibly angry. He continued "Guards, take this dog away and behead him. Send a messenger with his head to Liu Bei and tell him if he doesn't surrender, that will be his fate in the coming battle. Xu Shu said very little throughout the entire speech until Cao Cao ordered his guards to kill him. Only then he began shouting a volley of abuse "You tyrant! Wicked and vile rebel! Corrupt and mean soul! Despicable rat! You will pay for your crimes against the Han and the people! You-" By then the guards had already carried him out of the tent. The advisors continued hearing various loud sounds until they heard a sword cut through flesh, and everyone knew Xu Shu was no more.

As most advisors went back to their daily duties, Cao Cao thought that the arguments had been quite convincing and that Xu Shu was indeed the conspirator behind the killing.

With the day over, Cao Cao's staff went to their tents and while most thought it over, a few were not so sure yet.

Xu Shu, Junior Advisor of the Han Army was executed.
