Chapter Twenty-Three: The Old Thief and the Little Thief
Whew!
At the same time as a row of heads rolled down, the corners of Sima Yi's mouth immediately twitched twice, it took him a lot of effort to win over these stewards, and in the middle, he even used Cao Ren's relationship in the court in order to curry favor with Cheng Yu, and now everything is empty again.
Cheng Yu's face was also twitching constantly, he didn't expect Yuan Yun to be so ruthless this time, just mobilized 10,000 laborers, and as a result, thirteen heads fell to the ground, and these people were all introduced to Sima Yi by him.
Glancing at Yuan Yun who was sitting on the side, Cheng Yu said with some indignation: "Yuan Hou, you are at odds with Sima Yi, why do you have to involve so many lives?" ”
Yuan Yun sat on the central platform of Luoyang West City, looking at the thirteen corpses under the stage, his heart was not very comfortable, two of them he still knew, they were the first batch of old craftsmen who came to build Luoyang, but judging from the information collected from the beggars under the invincible men, these two people had long been eroded by the material.
originally thought that Sima Yi was just deceiving Cheng Yu, and then mobilized 10,000 laborers, but after the investigation, it was found that there were quite a lot of articles in between, at least the two dead old craftsmen in front of them, they could not afford to buy real estate in Luoyang, and there were several.
Sima Yi's blood capital this time was quite large, and it was very secretive, and he couldn't get it, so he mobilized the power of Xu Du, began to envelop these people's relatives, and then continued to let them decay, because it was carried out in Xu Du, causing Yuan Yun to not notice anything at all.
A few days ago, at the night banquet in Yuan's mansion, Yuan Yun said that he arrested these stewards, but he just wanted to give Cheng Yu a dismissal, but after investigation, he realized that the Tao in it was quite complicated.
Regardless of what Sima Yi wanted to do, it would never be wrong to cut off his hands and feet, so a dismount evolved into a real beheading in the West Market.
After hearing Cheng Yu's question, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with whether I am in harmony with Sima Yi or not, it is entirely because they violated the rules and regulations, if this is not rectified, it will be difficult for anyone to abide by the rules in the future." ”
Cheng Yu seemed a little excited, patted his chest, and said, "What about the old man?" These people were coerced by the old man to help Sima Yi, why don't you even punish the old man with the crime? ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Cheng Yu, who was full of white hair, and then shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhongde, you have always been a wise man, haven't you found out that you have been used?" ”
The reason why Yuan Yun confessed so frankly was that he felt that Cheng Yu would never take refuge in Sima Yi, at least the current Sima Yi and Cao Ren could not control Cao Cao's important ministers like Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he asked cautiously, "What does Yuan Hou mean by this?" ”
Yuan Yun spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and explained: "These thirteen stewards who were beheaded are now rich in Xudu, where did they get so much money, the most interesting thing is the stewards who were transferred to Sima Yi, most of them are like this, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Cheng Yu replied unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, the old man has also conducted an investigation, and these thirteen people don't have any family wealth in their names." ”
Yuan Yun looked at Cheng Yu, thinking in his heart that although the other party was a poisoner, his experience in anti-corruption was still not as sophisticated, and he only checked where he could trace any clues.
After regretting Cheng Yu, Yuan Yun casually pointed to a head in the law field and said: "Hu Sanzhi, you should be familiar with this person, because he worked hard in the workshop, and accidentally broke two fingers, so with this name, his brother-in-law now has two courtyards in Xudu, both of which were born in Kuhaha, is his brother-in-law too rich?" ”
After introducing Hu Sanzhi, Yuan Yun pointed to the other head, and then said: "Jia Er, the labor manager on the construction site, Luoyang Xinjian the year before last, he was the first to move his family here, and he was also the first to sign the labor contract, his wife's two cousins were originally homeless, and now they not only have the household registration of Xu Du, but also redeemed the two singers of Yueyun Building, and now these two singers are raised in the courtyard of their family. ”
Yuan Yun stopped when he said this, and then began to leisurely appreciate Cheng Yu's shame, this old man is dedicated to the development of Luoyang, he strongly agrees with the repair of the palace, and it is also because once the palace is completed, it can make Luoyang's status climb immediately.
How can these Yuan Yun not know the truth, but the person who built the palace was wrong, so everything must be opposed, whether it is politics or prevention, in short, as long as Sima Yi is in charge, then this palace cannot be built by him no matter what.
Cheng Yu was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and pointed to the few stewards kneeling on the other side: "These stewards Yuan Hou didn't kill them, it's because they didn't take refuge in Sima Yi, so they were exempted from offense, yes or no?" ”
Yuan Yun said very frankly: "These people are just confused for a while, they are innocent behind their backs, why should I kill them?" Now let them take a good look at what happened to those people, and ensure that these people can be of great use in the future. ”
Cheng Yu still smiled bitterly, but his face gradually changed and became gloomy, and finally sighed deeply, and said disheartenedly: "The old man seems to be really old, and this time he was actually deceived by Sima Yi, a descendant, alas, it seems that it is indeed time to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, how could this sentence sound so familiar, but he didn't think much about it, if he really sent Cao Cao's important ministers home to farm, it is estimated that his father-in-law would definitely rush to Luoyang to beat his own board.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Zhongde, don't say that, you just want to build the palace quickly, so you have been taken advantage of by someone in your heart, why are you so angry, you might as well rest for a few days, and then let's discuss the repair of this palace." ”
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up instantly, swept away the depression on his face, and said with a smile: "Although the old man is old, his body is very tough, not much worse than you young people, just take a few days off, I will go to your house tonight to re-discuss the repair of the palace, you prepare the meat for the old man tonight, you must steam it softly, by the way, your osmanthus brew also prepares a jar." ”
Yuan Yun looked at Cheng Yu's old rascal's face, and just wanted to howl a few times to vent, but now he remembered that he had fallen for this old fox before, and it was the same as this time, first pretending to be pitiful, and when he moved his compassion, he immediately kicked his nose in the face.
With a curse in his heart, Yuan Yun could only hug his fists and say: "Since Mr. Zhongde likes to stuff meat and osmanthus flowers, Yuan Fu will naturally be prepared, in short, he will not let you down." ”
This time Cheng Yu smiled even more happily, and kept stroking his beard and said: "The future is terrifying, the future is terrifying, Sima Yi's mind just got up, and he was uprooted by Yuan Hou, and the counterattack was fast and ruthless, Yuan Hou was less than twenty years old, but he was so decisive, the old man was quite admired, and now he also went to the old man's heart disease, and I want to thank Yuan Hou when I look back." ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, he immediately sounded the alarm in his heart, and in an instant, his back was cold, and cold sweat broke out.
Damn, it's not that Cheng Yu is stupid, but that he was used as a gunman, Cheng Yu is a poisoner through the ages, and his IQ is not below Sima Yi, maybe he may be deceived by the other party at the beginning, but he will definitely find out the problem soon.
It is estimated that Cheng Yu later knew that there was a big problem with these stewards, so he deliberately mentioned Sima Yi at the night banquet in his Yuan Mansion, and then said that he Cheng Yu had made 10,000 labors out of his efforts, so that he immediately became vigilant, and began to investigate the matter the next day.
And from beginning to end of this matter, he Cheng Yu was like a victim, the murder was killed by him Yuan Yun, and it was also offended by him Yuan Yun who offended Sima Yi and Cao Ren, and he only reaped the benefits of this old fox when he turned around.
Frowning and smiling, Yuan Yun arched his hand and said: "Mr. Zhongde's good chess, boy, I am completely in a fog, and I only know that it is like this after I have done everything, I admire and admire." ”
Cheng Yu blew his beard and said unhappily: "The old man's age is placed here, he is the old thief in other people's mouths, how can he be able to shake a few little thieves if he can achieve the position of an old thief?" But Yuan Hou doesn't have to worry too much, you are already so demonic now, when you get mixed with the old thief, the old man really can't imagine, who is still your opponent at that time, before that, the old man will sue the old man to return to his hometown anyway, otherwise he will be remembered by a demon like you, I am afraid that it will be too late. ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, and hurriedly arched his hand: "The kid has been taught, and Mr. Zhongde has taught him." ”
Cheng Yu was very satisfied, turned around and got off the high platform, almost not even in the mood to look at the thirteen severed heads.
Cheng Yu was satisfied with his front feet before leaving, and Sima Yi slowly walked to Yuan Yun's side, did not speak first, but looked at the thirteen heads on the law field again, and then sighed deeply.
Yuan Yun squinted at Sima Yi, and immediately sighed deeply like him, and then continued to remain silent.
Seeing Yuan Yun's reaction like this, Sima Yi bowed his hand slightly and said, "Why does Yuan Hou have to be so tight?" I'm just trying to repair the palace in Luoyang for the imperial court. ”
Yuan Yun felt that Sima Yi's ability to steal Cao's world in the end had a lot to do with his cheekiness, this person was too cheeky, this matter was already very clear and clear, but it was not put on the table, he didn't know it at all, I have to say that his superb acting skills are to deceive himself first.
Returning the salute, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said: "Brother Zhongda is wrong to blame Ben Hou, do you know that these people are all corrupt people, Ben Hou did this, just to exonerate Brother Zhong Da, if these people are allowed to repair the palace, it will be difficult to end it in the end, and when the time comes, it is not to drag Brother Zhong Da to suffer together, so Ben Hou took a righteous action." ”
After hearing what Yuan Yun said, Sima Yi immediately said: "This is really bothering Yuan Hou, I want to thank Yuan Hou here." ”
Yuan Yun saw that Sima Yi was about to clench his fists, so he hurriedly stopped him, and then said indifferently: "I heard that the Sima family has a jade gold basin, and it is said that it was the dowry of Xia Ji, the princess of Zhengguo, who was married back then, and Ben Hou is full of infinite Y for Xia Ji...... Well, infinite reverie, Brother Zhongda might as well send this thing to Ben Hou as a thank you. ”
After speaking, seeing Sima Yi's somewhat angry expression, Yuan Yun immediately continued: "It's not for you to give it away for nothing, these thirteen heads will be given to Brother Zhong Da, and their documents after the investigation will also be handed over, what does Brother Zhong Da think?" ”
Sima Yi was silent for a moment, and instantly said with a smile: "Yuan Hou is such a big gift, I naturally want to reciprocate, it's just a jade and gold basin, I'll send someone to send it when I turn around." ”
Yuan Yun immediately stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Refreshing, thank you for the time being." ”
After thanking him, Yuan Yun waved his sleeves and shouted at Shi Shen: "Give these heads and documents to Sima Zhongda, he will clean up here, and we will go home." ”
Seeing Yuan Yun leave the West Market with a large number of minions, Sima Yi's eyes immediately became a little colder, and the stack of documents he was holding in his hand was also crumpled by him, and his fingertips even cut through the book cover.
In this regard, the repair of the Luoyang Palace was completely shelved.
