Chapter 132: Suspected Assassin
Wang Ye's unexpected fall made Cao Liang also deeply surprised, he originally had no confidence in investigating the assassination case, since the Sima family dared to do it, it must have made all preparations, not to mention that there is no proof of death, even if it is taken alive, it is impossible to have any evidence and handles.
Xiahou Xuanli is the main investigator of the case, in Cao Liang's view, at most, it is just a formality and intimidation of the Sima family, which does not play a substantive role.
However, the result was that the real culprit was not found, and Wang Ye, the court lieutenant in charge of the prison, was laid off, which still set off a lot of waves within the court.
Tingwei is one of the nine qing, an important minister of the imperial court, and one of the few important positions held by Sima Yi's family at present.
For Cao Liang, it was really a surprise.
This consequence was definitely something that the people of the Sima family did not expect, and now it is estimated that their intestines should also be repentant, not only did they lose five capable subordinates, but also lost the important position of Tingwei, which can really be said to be a loss to their wives and soldiers.
If they knew that there would be such bad consequences, they would definitely not do it so easily.
But there is no turning back from the bow, the Sima family made a wrong step, and what awaits them is probably only worse consequences.
Cao Liang knew that Sima Shi would definitely not be able to escape this prison disaster this time, and if the court lieutenant in charge of the prison was still Wang Ye, Sima Shi would be able to be sheltered to some extent.
This time, Wang Ye has fallen, and the new court lieutenant Li Sheng is Cao Shuang's person, if Sima Shi is in his hands, I am afraid that he will shed his skin if he does not die.
If you don't die, you don't have to die, it seems that the Sima family has gone further and further on the road of death.
And this consequence is unknown to the people of the Sima family who are now preparing for the wedding celebration, and when Sima Shi enters the prison, they will find out how stupid their previous assassination action was.
It seems that Cao Shuang's side is not full of pus, and he will take advantage of this opportunity to get the position of Tingwei that Cao Shuang has always coveted, which makes the already declining Sima Yi even worse and the situation difficult.
In any case, as long as he can crack down on the behavior of the Sima family's forces, Cao Liang is happy to see it.
How difficult it is to bring down the Sima family, Cao Liang has a clear understanding, don't look at Cao Shuang now to be windy and rainy, infinite scenery, but only Cao Liang knows that Cao Shuang is just a strong outsider, and when the Sima family launches a counterattack, Cao Shuang will soon be defeated.
Now that he has lost a royal industry, at most it can be regarded as cutting off a little finger of the Sima family, far from hurting the muscles and bones, and there is no substantial damage to the huge Sima family's forces.
If you really want to hit the key point of the Sima family, it depends on tomorrow's actions, if everything goes well, not only can you disturb Huang Sima Shi's wedding, but also bring Sima Shi to justice.
Xiahou Xuan's attitude towards Sima Shi is definitely as deep as the sea, in order to avenge his sister, he will definitely bite Sima Shi to death.
It is a matter of course to pay debts and pay for one's life.
If he can really take this opportunity to get rid of Sima Shi this time, then Cao Liang will be a great success. You must know that Sima Shi is the heir of each of Sima Yi's successes, in history, although it was Sima Yi who grabbed power, but Sima Yi wasted his life, although he was in power, he was already dying and old, and he didn't have a few years to live.
What really established the status of the Sima family was Sima Shi, who abolished the emperor and re-established, cut off dissidents, cultivated cronies, and laid a solid foundation for the Sima family to compile Wei Lijin.
As long as he takes this opportunity to get rid of Sima Shi, it is equivalent to cutting off Sima Yi's right-hand man, and it is not so easy for the Sima family to rise up.
However, Sima Yi will definitely not sit idly by and watch Sima Shi subjugate the law, just the love of protecting the calf, but Sima Yi cultivating Sima Shi as the heir of the family, don't look at Sima Yi's many sons, I am afraid that there is only one Sima Shi who really makes him interested.
Even the second son Sima Zhao, Sima Yi did not bring him to the inner circle of the family, and Sima Yi never let him know about such a confidential matter as the Sima family's raising of dead soldiers.
As for the other sons Sima Gan, Sima Liang and others, the eldest is only eight years old now, and it is far from the point where Sima Yi is worth cultivating.
Therefore, after Sima Shi's accident, Sima Yi will definitely do his best to rescue, and with Sima Yi's energy, it is very likely that Sima Shi's life will be saved.
Cao Liang secretly pondered, what must be done to put Sima Shi to death and completely plunge the Sima family into the abyss from which there will be no return?
At this moment, Ah Fu came in and reported: "Little Hou Ye, when the little one was patrolling outside the mansion, he caught a ghost and a ghost worshipping person, how to deal with it, please let the little Hou Ye make it clear." ”
Since Cao Liang's assassination yesterday, the entire Gaoling Marquis Mansion has been shaken, especially Liu Ying, who was so anxious that she took Cao Liang's hand and looked left and right, and when she was sure that Cao Liang was unscathed, this was a slight relief.
However, the alert level of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion seems to have been immediately raised to a higher level, in addition to the guards in the mansion who are on duty for ten hours a day, even in the adjacent areas outside the mansion, Liu Ying has sent people to investigate around, and when he encounters those who are unidentified and behave abnormally, Liu Ying ordered his subordinates to detain them all and release them after the investigation is clear.
If some of the Assassins dared to approach the Gaoling Marquis Mansion with bad intentions, Madame Liu ordered them to be captured and handed over to the Tingwei Mansion to deal with, and if they resisted, they would be killed.
Of course, Ah Fu carried out his wife's order to the letter, and at this moment, it was getting late, and there were few pedestrians on the nearby streets, and Ah Fu found a figure and ghost reverently moving outside the courtyard wall of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, so he immediately stepped forward and took it down.
But what made Ah Fu strange was that this person kept saying that he wanted to see his little marquis, but as for asking him what was going on, he kept silent.
What if this guy is an assassin, wouldn't it be bad to let him get close to the little marquis? Ah Fu is still very vigilant, and he can't say anything and let him take him to see the little marquis.
But how to deal with it, Ah Fu doesn't have this power, he can only report to the old lady or the little marquis, since this guy keeps saying that he wants to see the little marquis, then Ah Fu will report to Cao Liang.
Cao Liang didn't believe that he would be an assassin, if he was really an assassin, how could he be taken down by Ah Fu so easily.
"Bring it in, I'll see for myself."
