"General! Spare your life! ”

"General!!"

At this moment, in the general's mansion, dozens of people were tied up, kneeling in the snow, their faces frightened, and constantly begging for mercy.

Sima Zhao stood on the steps, staring at the people in front of him.

These people were all dressed in prison clothes, their hair was disheveled, and their eyes showed despair.

These dozens of people are all officials from all over Yin, Henan.

Among them, there are county orders, county lieutenants, county officials, and even a few township officials.

The highest grade is probably the left chief of the Great General's Mansion, Shi Sima Ban.

Beside Sima Zhao, there were still a few people standing, including Shang Shu Fu Hao, Captain Yin Damu, Ji Shu Xun Xun, Loose Horse Pei Xiu and other henchmen.

And these kneeling in front of Sima Zhao are all sinners brought by Fu Zhao.

After the Wang Yuan Uprising, these people wantonly killed innocent people in the name of suppressing thieves, and cut off their heads to pretend to be military merits.

At this moment, the county magistrate who was kneeling beside Sima Ban and crying loudly slaughtered more than a thousand people, and asked for merit for himself.

Of course, the most ruthless one was Sima Ban.

However, now, this guy is also extremely frightened, and he keeps kowtowing and asking for guilt.

Sima Zhao gritted his teeth, his face was very ugly.

"The temple ordered you to be the head of the place, and it was for you to protect the people of Li and guard the place for the country, but it was good for you to kill the people indiscriminately, pretend to be military merits, and deceive the temple, which is a great crime!!"

"If the officials everywhere are as murderous as you, then wouldn't the Great Wei Jiangshan be destroyed in the hands of these villains?!"

"In just four days, you have killed nearly 10,000 people, dare you do this?! How dare that?! ”

Sima Zhao looked extremely angry.

Perhaps sensing his killing intent, Sima Ban hurriedly shouted, "Middle Father!" I didn't kill the people indiscriminately, it was those who resisted, they attacked my army first, and all of my men can testify! I started fighting back after I was attacked! There is absolutely no indiscriminate killing! ”

As he spoke first, the rest of the people explained.

"General! They were the ones who raised their troops first to attack the arsenal! The minister just sent someone to pacify it! The minister is not guilty! ”

"General, the minister's middle father has taught me many times that you must not be soft-hearted when dealing with thieves, otherwise you will let others follow suit, and the minister just obeys the middle father's persuasion! The minister is not guilty! ”

Sima Zhao glanced at this person, this person's name was Guo Zhan, and he was the son of Guo Huai, the general of the chariot cavalry.

The rest of the people also shouted injustice.

Those township officials are actually fine, but these county orders are a little more difficult to handle.

Generally speaking, the children of Gaomen started as county commanders, and these people drank and served on weekdays, and after a period of time in the position of the county commander, there would be three different arrangements.

If he had shown extraordinary talent at the time of the prefectural order, he would probably have taken the path of the cavalry squire, summoned to the temple, and then took the alternate route of the temple minister.

If it is a little talented, it may be transferred to other counties to continue to sharpen, and after surviving a few counties, it will directly take the route of local officials who are too guarded.

If you don't have any talent, you will be directly transferred to the state or county or the minister's office to serve as a subordinate official, and take the subordinate route.

Anyway, if you have a good background, you will definitely not be talented, even if you don't have talent, it doesn't matter, you can be arranged.

And Henan Yin is the favorite place for the children of Gaomen, so many of them are from famous families with deep backgrounds.

Sima Zhao frowned and reprimanded them loudly again, his tone even more fierce, but he didn't say how to punish them.

Xun Miao slowly walked to Sima Zhao's side and said in a low voice: "Among the generals, there are your clansmen, the clansmen of the Che Cavalry General, and the clansmen of the General Zhengnan, and the clansmen of General Fenwu are really difficult to deal with."

Sima Zhao snorted coldly, "Yes, there are even your clansmen!" ”

Xun Miao was a little embarrassed, but still said: "The general wants me to see, although these people have made a big mistake, but after all, it is to pacify the traitors, not intentionally, thinking that they can be exempted from capital crimes, demoted to civilians, and never hired!" ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to show your benevolence without destroying your friendship?"

"Huh."

Sima Zhao's eyes were still cold.

Xun Miao continued: "General, now is the critical time to crusade against Biqiu Jian, if at this time, offend the Che Cai General, the General Zhengnan, and the Fenwu General, then how can this battle be fought?" If you have to deal with them, you might as well imprison them and wait until the fighting is over before you send them down. ”

Sima Zhao's face finally changed, and he looked at Fu Yan in the distance.

Fu Yi frowned at this moment, and his face was very ugly.

"General, please punish the traitor according to the law."

Sima Zhao's face changed, and he was a little embarrassed, Xun Miao looked at Sima Zhao, and then at Fu Zhao, and hurriedly had an idea.

He walked a few steps, stood between Fu Yi and Sima Zhao, and said loudly: "My Great Wei has its own laws, and to deal with these officials, this is not something that General Zhengxi can make a judgment, it must be handed over to the court lieutenant, and the court lieutenant will pronounce the judgment, so it is in line with the law of the Great Wei!" ”

Hearing this, the prisoners kneeling in the snow suddenly realized something, and hurriedly nodded, "We are all willing to accept the verdict of the court captain!" ”

Fu Yan was furious, he pointed to Xun Miao in front of him, and his whole body began to shake, Fu Yan's physical condition was already very bad, in history, he died a month after Sima Shi's death.

And at this moment, he was running around when he was seriously ill, still in the ice and snow, and his body had almost reached its limit.

He yelled, "Are you trying to shield these traitors?!" Are people like you worthy of being of the same clan as Xun Lingjun?! is also surnamed Xun, Jing Qian is ten times better than you!! ”

This Jing Qian refers to Xun Yu, the sixth son of Cao Wei's Taiwei Xun Yu.

Xun Miao's face did not change in the slightest, and he said loudly: "These things should have been dealt with by the court captain!" How could I have meant to cover up?! ”

Fu Yan's face turned red, his whole body trembled, and his whole body shook violently.

He breathed hard and looked at Sima Zhao, "General"

Sima Zhao was also a little helpless, he immediately said: "Among these people, those who are extremely guilty cannot be left, and those who have been punished for their merits can be handed over to Tingwei to investigate!" ”

Fu Yan suddenly closed his mouth, his eyes were a little confused, and his expression became even more depressed.

Sima Ban finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the lead to thank Sima Zhao.

At this moment, a soldier trotted in the distance, quickly controlled all the entrances and exits around him, and began martial law, and behind the soldier, a person slowly walked in.

The person who came was Sima Shi.

He was dressed in a thick robe, and two people were following him, and he walked towards here in a hurry.

For a while, everyone was shocked.

Sima Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother, it's cold outside, what's wrong with you?"

Sima Shi ignored him, passed by him directly, and walked slowly in front of those sinners, lowered his head, and looked at Sima Ban.

Sima Ban was stared at by the right eye, and he only felt extremely frightened.

"My Father"

"Puff~~"

Sima Shi pulled out Sima Zhao's saber behind him and stabbed Sima Ban in the throat with a sword.

Sima Ban covered his neck in horror, unable to make a sound, and when Sima Shi pulled out his sword, blood spurted out of Sima Ban's throat, and the blood splashed on the snow, like a blooming plum blossom.

Sima Ban fell to the ground suddenly, covering his neck with both hands, and he didn't bat an eye.

The rest of the crowd was frightened and began to cry.

Sima Shi looked at them, "Take them all down, announce the crime, and then behead them for public display." ”

"Only !!"

The sergeant was ordered to drag these men out on the spot, ignoring their pleas for mercy.

Sima Zhao was stiff at the moment, his mind was blank, and he couldn't say anything.

Sima Shi slowly looked at Xun Miao.

At that moment, Xun Miao almost peed his pants, and he trembled and said: "General, general, they deserve it, they deserve it!" Damn it! They should all be killed! ”

Sima Shi slowly put the saber in his hand on Xun Miao's shoulder, and jerked it violently, leaving blood stains on Xun Miao's shoulder.

Xun Miao's legs began to tremble.

Sima Shi then inserted the saber back into Sima Zhao's scabbard.

"Do you just want to rule the world like this? Just because they are from a large family, they can be allowed to kill the people wantonly? Allow them to shake the foundations of Great Wei? ”

"No, brother, I'm because of Biqiu Jian"

"Such a thing, once it appears, it must be killed all, no matter what identity it is, it cannot be forgiven!"

"No matter how strong Biqiu Jian is, can it be more terrifying than the turbulent public opinion?!"

"Don't you think that it's only been long since those Qianshou bullied the Yellow Turban Thieves, do you want to feel it again?!"

Sima Shi's tone was very harsh.

"Brother, I know I'm wrong."

Sima Zhao hurriedly bowed his head.

Sima Shi looked at the rest of the people and said solemnly: "The people who govern the world must be based on benevolent government, and the people who govern the counties must be based on the Li people. ”

Everyone said yes.

Sima Shi looked at Fu Yan at the end, "Among the government and the opposition, only Fu Gong can be regarded as a virtuous minister." ”

"With a virtuous minister like Fu Shangshu, I am not afraid of the future."

Fu Yan looked at Sima Shi in front of him, and he wanted to thank the other party.

He stretched out his hand and was about to say something, but he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his breathing became weaker and weaker, and in an instant, Fu Yan fell to the ground with a bang.

Sima Zhao was shocked and hurriedly shouted, and the ministers rushed forward and helped the person up.

Only Sima Shi stood blankly in place, his ears roaring, he saw his younger brother shouting something, but he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Fu Yi was motionless, Xun Miao kept pinching his people, yelling at the side.

Sima Shi shook a few times and struggled to stabilize his body.

He looked up at the sky, a blank look in his eyes.

Heaven helps thieves, but does not help me.
