Chapter 145: Death Without Proof

"Yingchuan Shen, Liu, Zheng, Dingling, Ding, Du, Luoyang, Guo, Luoyang, Zhong, Gucheng, Fan, Zhongmu, Ren, Wenxian, Zhao, Huaixian, Li, Hanoi, ......"

Cao Zhi and Cao Pi sat opposite each other, listening to Ding Yi say their names one by one, and after a long name, Ding Yi finally said: "I didn't reply to all of them." ”

"Didn't reply?"

Cao Zhi stood up and said angrily: "Before the incident, one by one swore that they would hide today?" ”

Ding Yi recalled the beating by Cao Zhi that day, and was startled and shrunk to the side.

In the hall, Cao Zhi still sat Ding Yi's younger brother Ding Xuan, but he didn't see Yang Xiu, who was allied with Cao Zhi on the Chibi battlefield.

Cao Pi sat with Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo.

Cao Pi asked, "How does Changwen answer?" ”

Zhu Shuo was impatient, and snorted: "He, a scholar and servant of the imperial history, is afraid that the shelf is bigger than Xiantai, and Doctor Xi has given a reply, but he Chen Changqun actually ignores it, I'm afraid I don't know who Zihuan is!" ”

In the past, Cao Pi was surrounded by four people, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, and Zhu Shuo, who were jokingly called Cao Pi's four friends, and now Sima Yi was arrested, Chen Qun drew a line with them, Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo's family forces are small, and they are obviously unable to cope with this situation.

Cao Pi closed his eyes and sighed, and said: "Uncle impeached the family, presumably for the sake of righteousness." ”

Cao Zhi threw away the cups on the table with long sleeves and said angrily: "Big brother, when is it, you are still pretending to be a gentleman here!" Do you think this is Sima Zhongda's business alone? He Cao Wu is going to wage war against you, today Sima Zhongda was unjustly killed, tomorrow it will be Wu Zhen, Zhu Shuo, Ding Yi, there is no one left in this room! ”

Ding Yi shrank into the corner again, and Wu Zhen got up and said, "Zijian, it's rude to my brother, it's not in line with the etiquette!" ”

"Whoever becomes the son of the world is the law of etiquette!"

Cao Zhi pointed his nose and shouted, and said to Mantang: "Tell me, Chen Qun has fled, Yang Xiu has also fled, the family has fled, Shangshutai and Yushitai are all owned by others, and none of them can be relied on at critical moments!" It is rumored that the captain of Si Li, the imperial doctor, and the Yuzhou pastor, two are more than two thousand stones, one is two thousand stones, and the three elders give him a miscellaneous general to support the frame, look at it, listen, how big the shelf, or at the door of Shang Shuling's house! Does my father have such a big shelf? ”

Everyone was silent, Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo were frowning and thinking.

Cao Pi said: "Sima Zhongda and I have a good relationship, and now that I have been framed, even if my uncle is powerful, I will protect him." ”

Cao Zhi scolded: "Protect him, how can you protect him?" ”

Cao Pi said indifferently: "Even if you risk your life, you have to protect it." ”

The words he said seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties, Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo were all excited, Cao Pi can protect Sima Yi today, and he will be able to protect the two of them in the future.

Ding Yi was shrinking into the corner, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but look at Cao Pi a few more times.

Cao Zhi sneered, looked around and said, "In vain, all of you are heroes in the world, what should you do?" How to insure? ”

Ding Yi had shrunk to the very corner and couldn't shrink anymore.

Wu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do?" It's a big deal to meet the Son of Heaven! ”

"Go and let the Son of Heaven seal it...... Woo......"

When he said the last sentence, he was finally covered by Ding Xuan, who had the courage to stand up, and he really couldn't say this kind of nonsense.

Cao Zhi struggled for a while, and finally said, "A room of waste!" I'm going to find my father."

Then he went out in a hurry, and he didn't know whether to meet Cao Cao or go to find Wushisan to take.

Cao Pi stood up, patted Ding Hui on the shoulder, motioned for Wu Zhen and Ding Yi to come back, picked up the cup that was knocked down by Cao Zhi and put it back in a few cases, and then sat back in his position.

Cao Pi was sitting in danger, and Ding Yi and Ding Xuan, two of Cao Zhi's friends, did not dare to be presumptuous, so they sat there.

Cao Pi said: "My father loves Zijian, but my father won't listen to him in this matter, just because I have seen the relationship between my uncle and my father." ”

Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo nodded and sat down.

Cao Pi still didn't say a word in his heart, that is, if he was in power one day, he would let all Cao Cao's forces go away, and he would never let a relative stand in front of him to show off his might.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Cao Pi continued: "Beifu instigated Nahuan Liang to frame Zhongda, which is nothing more than human and physical evidence, but now, the human and physical evidence is no longer there. ”

When he said the previous words, he was still very peaceful, but when he said later, he actually became murderous.

At this moment, a young man came in, hugged his fists and said, "Zihuan, I'm late." ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "Boren, please take a seat." ”

It turned out that this young man was Xiahou Shang, who had just returned from the southern battlefield.

Xiahou Shangnai is Xiahou Yuan's cousin, the leader of the second generation of the Xiahou family, and the Cao family are distant relatives, and Cao Pi grew up together, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, he trained in the army, and was very capable.

Xiahou Shang came over and sat down, nodded lightly with everyone, which was regarded as a courtesy, and his behavior was military and military, which was different from his cousin Xiahou Nan.

Cao Pi said: "Boren, what's going on?" ”

"Fortunately, the three cheap slaves who maliciously harmed Zhongda are all dead."

As soon as Xiahou Shang exited, in the hall, whether it was Wu Zhen, Zhu Shuo, or Ding Yi and Ding Xuan, they were all shocked.

Listening to his words, he actually arranged for Xiahou Shang to kill the slaves of the Huan family.

Ding Yi frowned and said, "Isn't this trying to cover up?" ”

Cao Pi drank tea and did not explain.

Zhu Shuo has an impatient but smart personality, he came to his senses first, and laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, there is no proof of death, as long as people believe that it is the Sima family in Hanoi who killed people." This matter is to cover up for others, but it is different for the prime minister, the prime minister has every opportunity, how can he have time to ask about the details, he will leave Sima and the Huan family out in the cold. In this way, because there is no evidence, Sima Zhongda will not die, and there will be a chance to recover in the future. But the Huan family lost power because of this incident, and Cao Chong will also be implicated. ”

"Not bad. After all, my father didn't like me in the first place. ”

Cao Pi put down the teacup and explained that this trick was to retreat into advance, dragging Mrs. Huan and Cao Chong, who were most loved by his father, into the water.

They were just about to say some details, when suddenly, Cao Zhi pushed the door open from outside and rushed in with a frightened face.

He seemed to be dissatisfied, his eyes were red, and he said to everyone in the hall: "I wanted to go to the restaurant just now, I saw Wei Wei Ma Teng, and I heard him talk to people, saying that the news of his son had reached Xu Du, and Jingzhao Yin Sima had rebelled!" ”

"What?"

Everyone in the hall, except for Cao Pi and Xiahou Shang, all stood up.

Xiahou Shang said: "Rebellion, what kind of combat power does Xiliang Tieqi have, I know, if Jing Zhaoyin can rebel, will Sanfu still be in the hands of Ma and Han?" ”

Cao Zhi grabbed his scalp and said: "No, then Ma Teng swore that it was Sima Fangyin who raised 3,000 dead soldiers, and fled north to Luliang Mountain." ”

Hearing the name Lu Liangshan, Cao Pi, who realized it later because of the lag in the news, finally couldn't sit still.

He stood up and said, "Sima's family is finished!" ”

He suddenly thought of Ma Teng's surname, and said in shock: "Three horses eat Cao, three horses eat Cao, what a trick to kill people with a knife!" ”

Cao Pi, who has always been as stable as Mount Tai, was finally shocked by this series of changes.

Cao Zhi also thought of Cao Cao's merger with the state, and said: "Big brother, Sima Yi can't keep it, my father won't let go of the rebels, abandon the car and protect the handsome!" ”

Cao Pi sighed: "Father just won't give up people who don't have the strength but want to rebel." ”

After hesitating for a while, he leaned over to Xiahou Shang's ear and said, "Sima Zhongda knows that my Cao family has too many secrets, if you can't protect it, don't let him have a chance to tell the secret, and ask Boren to help me." ”

What he wanted was not the Sima family, but Sima Yi, but if this person couldn't keep it, he would be more decisive than anyone else.

Xiahou Shang's expression was cold, he stood up, made a gesture to everyone, and went straight.

At first, the others didn't know why, but soon the smart people in this room understood where Xiahou Shang went.

Zhu Shuo reacted first and sat back in his place, Wu Zhen and the others also knew Cao Pi's decision, and their faces showed disappointment.

The most fierce reaction was Ding Yi, before Cao Pi said that he would risk his life to protect Sima Yi, at that time he admired Cao Pi very much, but in a short time, Cao Pi actually asked Xiahou Shang to kill Sima Yi.

His hands hidden under several cases were trembling, this Cao Pi's face was like a humble gentleman, and his heart was like this.

Everyone waited anxiously in the hall, although Sima Yi was imprisoned, he had not been convicted after all, the guards were not strict, Xiahou still had an official body, and it was a clan, so it should not be difficult to do this kind of thing.

Not surprisingly, more than an hour later, Xiahou Shang came back with a wooden box, threw it on the table and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Sima Yi plotted to rebel, and the crime was extremely heinous, and when he saw me go to interrogate, he tried to escape from prison by taking advantage of the visitation, and was killed by me. I've seen this head with everyone, and I'm going to take it back. ”

Cao Zhi retreated with a "wow", of course he knew what this kind of box was for.

Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo couldn't bear to look at the box, turned their heads, and Ding Yi's face turned even pale.

Cao Pi smiled, Xiahou Shang was really the best knife in his hand, he was trustworthy and adaptable.

Sure enough, the generals of the military can be trusted, but it's a pity that Cao Zhen, who he had wooed before, had an ambiguous attitude, so it was better for him to have two knives in his hands.

On the contrary, Ding Xuan looked forward and said: "In this way, Huanliang's hostage is dead, Sima Yi is also dead, and there is no proof of death, and the matter can be concluded." ”

Cao Zhi said: "Sima's family raises dead soldiers and acts as a Yi clan according to the law, this is the proper righteousness, and the case he is involved in should not be retried." ”

His tone was cold, as if it was not Sima Yi who was going south with him on the table, but an inconsequential passer-by.

Cao Pi stepped forward crying, touching the box, which was a close friend who had just said that he would risk his life to protect it.

Cao Pi cried and shouted Zhongda's name, and when he heard the cry, Wu Zhen and Zhu Shuo were a little shaken.

"Let's see."

Wu Zhen came over and opened the box.

There was indeed a human head in the box, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was originally handsome, and now, the last moment of his life was frozen in a surprised expression.

Except for Xiahou Shang, everyone else jumped up.

Cao Pi stopped crying.

Cao Zhi pointed to the box while vomiting, "This ...... This, this is not Sima Yi, I have seen him, this is his younger brother Sima Kui! ”

"What?"

This time, Xiahou Shang was surprised, when he went to prison, the jailer he paid was sure that this was Sima Yi, so he made a move, what went wrong?
