"Thank you, Prime Minister!!"
Sima Yi did not make any gesture of resistance,
Someone took him away, and when he was taken away from Cao Cao's study, three people came out from behind the screen.
It was Cao Cao's most important counselors, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.
"What do you guys think!"
"Do you think he has betrayed the truth?"
Cao Cao looked at the direction where Sima Yi disappeared, his eyes flickered, and he was also a little uncertain.
The punishment for Sima Yi was actually not painful.
It is generally a serious crime to mobilize troops without authorization. Even if Cao Cao killed him, it would not be an exaggeration.
However, some people can be killed without any scruples, such as Yang Xiu.
But there are some people who can be killed, but only with complete evidence of the crime, such as Sima Yi.
The biggest difference is that Yang Xiu is a humble man without any backer, so there is no pressure to kill him, and if he doesn't like it, he will kill him by mistake while drunk.
But Sima Yi is different, the Sima family is a big family.
Just like Xiahou's family, they have huge wealth and are still supporting Cao Cao.
If you kill it casually, it will cause very serious consequences.Therefore, you must have complete evidence of the crime before you can do it, otherwise, it is easy to shoot yourself in the foot.
"From the current situation, there is no direct evidence!"
"However, according to the veteran, this possibility is not small. After all, seeking skin from a tiger can shake the prime minister's foundation!"
"If you don't cooperate with Jiang Chen, with his current influence, it's very difficult to pose a threat to the Prime Minister!"
Jia Xu thought for a while and gave his own inference.
"Yes, I heard that the people he led were ambushed and killed halfway!"
"He was the only one who escaped, which is very suspicious!"
"This is indeed suspicious!"
Xun Yu next to him nodded, and also agreed with Jia Xu's deduction.
"Didn't he report to the truth about being ambushed?"
"If you really cooperate with Jiang Chen, you will naturally want to cover it up and feel guilty. This is a normal state of mind!"
"But Sima Yi told the truth very frankly, why?"
Cao Cao looked at several people, but he did not draw a conclusion.
"Prime Minister, if it was an ordinary person, it would definitely not be doubtful!"
"But he is Sima Yi, so this matter is debatable. He is a man who looks like a wolf!"
"The more frank you are, the more you explain the problem, just like he was so frank with the prime minister just now!"
"Can the prime minister guess what he really thinks in his heart?"
Jia Xu next to him explained.
"Well, it is indeed doubtful!"
"Arrange people to closely monitor his every move, but don't startle the snake by surprise!"
Cao Cao nodded and said to Jia Xu.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Jia Xu nodded.
"By the way, how is the matter of wooing the Zhen family going?"
The Zhen family in Zhongshan is a family with huge wealth.
Now Cao Cao, after several large-scale wars, is already a little stretched.
He felt that it was necessary to attract more wealthy people to join them.
And the Zhen family was targeted by Cao Cao, and it happened that the Zhen family also had a stunning Zhen Mi.
This is exactly what Cao Cao wanted, and it happened that his son had also reached the age of marriage.
The Zhen family took root in the Zhongshan area and has a very stable wealth. However, each family has its own treasures.
What is exposed outside is just a drop in the bucket.
Cao Cao believed that if all the wealth of the Zhen family was dedicated to Cao Cao,
He must be able to train a powerful army, so he has been negotiating with the Zhen family.
In order not to push the other party into a hurry, Cao Cao even adopted the method of marriage.
Let Zhen Mi be his daughter-in-law, the future princess.
To be the future empress is an extremely high honor. For this, Cao Cao didn't even take Zhen Mi into his harem, which was quite a concession.
He believed that as long as the members of the Zhen family had foresight, they would definitely not reject his conditions.
And he also heard that besides Zhen Mi, her four older sisters are also beautiful, so Cao Cao decided to take all of Zhen Mi's sisters into the harem in the future.
In this way, they can also get married and make the Zhen family wholeheartedly work for Cao Cao.
For a family like the Zhen family, his influence is quite strong. If he can subdue him, it will also have a very strong effect on Cao Cao's future rule.
"Prime Minister, I just want to report this matter to you!"
"I received news last night that the members of the Zhen family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!"
"After searching for two days without success, the county magistrate wrote a note to plead guilty to the prime minister!"
After Xun Yu finished speaking, he handed Cao Cao a note.
"What! Disappeared out of thin air?"
"How did you run, didn't you let someone chase you?"
Cao Cao glanced at Zhezi, and angrily threw him to the ground.
How can he not be angry when he sees the flesh from his mouth flying away?
This is the beauty he fancy, who dares to snatch it from him? ?
"Prime Minister, people have been sent to set up checkpoints at each checkpoint!"
"And they are wanted. If they run away, they will definitely be able to find clues!"
"Unfortunately, as of today, there is no news to report!"
"They seem to have disappeared out of thin air, I don't know where they went!"
Xun Yu sighed.
He also didn't expect that such a big family would disappear as soon as it disappeared.
It's really a bit too wasteful.
"That bastard county magistrate actually accepted bribes!"
"How much money can Zhen's shop in Zhongshan have?"
"It's too short-sighted, and dare to ignore the order of the truth!"
"Sin is not to be angered, pass on the decree, and kill him immediately!"
"Look who dares to disregard the order of the truth!"
Cao Cao roared angrily.
The duck in his hand flew away, and what the Zhen family is worth is the accumulation of generations of the Zhen family.
It is their interpersonal relationship, the income of each city.
This is like an analogy, a large group, for example, wherever it is settled, it can make a fortune.
If you block the family group, they can still move to other places, which can also drive the local economy. The important thing is not the house, but the strong contacts and sales.
The behavior of the county magistrate was tantamount to killing a chicken and picking its eggs, but he didn't expect to be put together.
"Prime Minister, I think that the county magistrate deserves to die!"
"It's enough to give death secretly, there is no need to make a big fuss about it!"
"Now the prime minister is planning to conquer the world with virtue, so that we can dispel the worries of countless families and fall into the prime minister's embrace!"
"If it is too rigid, it will be tantamount to driving those big families to our opponents!"
"In this way, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu immediately stood up to stop him.
Although this kind of killing is very relieved, it will scare those aristocratic families away.
"Prime Minister, the old minister also thought that he should not be too tyrannical!"
"You must convince people with virtue in order to win the support of more aristocratic families for the prime minister!"
