Chapter 1258 Careless, too careless
Ants are greedy for life, let alone people?
The talented people Cao Rui left behind were pulled up on the couch in the middle of the night and gathered in front of the palace gate, some of them hadn't even completely lost their sleepiness.
Let alone know what happened.
Then I saw that the gate of the temple was deliberately closed to death.
Another person brought a pile of white silk poisoned wine to him, saying that he wanted to let him wait for someone to accompany the late emperor?
But seeing that all of them were pale, their delicate bodies trembled.
Thinking that their lives would be lost later, many people could not stand still, collapsed to the ground, covered their mouths and wept.
How can it be reconciled to die inexplicably just thinking about it?
Finally someone was bold enough to ask in a trembling voice:
"Dare to ask where the emperor's edict is?"
They are talented people from the first emperor. Without the edict of the emperor, at least they should have the edict of the empress dowager.
As soon as these words came out, many talented people also reacted.
That's right!
They are the first emperors!
How could it be said that there was not even an edict, and Bai Ling was given poisonous wine as soon as it came up?
If a courtier does it privately, isn't that an arrogance?
How is this different from conspiracy?
Hope was rekindled in his eyes, his eyes were slightly bright, and they all looked at Huan Fan.
It's just that Huan Fan has already made a decision, so why would he shrink back because of this remark?
But seeing him say coldly:
"Someone said that the matter should be done urgently."
At the same time, there was evil spirit in his eyes, and he swept towards the place where the words came out.
Party understood, the more people came out, and walked over.
"What are you going to do?"
The person who spoke screamed, "You are plotting rebellion!"
Why are they afraid that they will be insulted and humiliated the late emperor?
If it were really about humiliating the late emperor, the first emperor would have been humiliated from the moment people like myself were brought into the general’s mansion to serve the fat general.
Why did you wait until today to bring up this matter?
But obviously, what Huan Fan needs is just an excuse, and it is impossible to engage in these unnecessary verbal disputes with them.
Party controlled the talented person and looked at Huan Fan.
Huan Fan nodded slightly.
This nod is tantamount to giving an order.
Immediately afterwards, the trilogy servants brought by Huan Fan stepped forward one after another with white silk, each looking for the target.
Then he strangled Bai Ling on the necks of these powerless women!
For a while, in front of the palace gate, there were endless wails, just like a cuckoo weeping blood. Those who heard it were saddened, and those who heard it wept.
After a while, the women who were originally lively and fragrant were all turned into corpses, piled up in piles across the palace.
Si Fan and the sergeants brought over were all dumbfounded, looking at everything in front of them in horror.
It was only at this time that they realized what a catastrophe it would be if what they had done were leaked out.
After Huan Fan ordered these talented women to be executed, he looked at Si Fan again and shouted:
"What are you still doing?"
Si Fan seemed to have come back to his senses just now, his eyes showed horror, he pointed at the corpse on the ground in disbelief, and stammered:
"Emissary Huan, this, this..."
Huan Fan grinned grimly:
"At this point, you don't think that you can stay out of it?"
This sentence was not only for Si Fan, but also for the sergeant he brought over.
Seeing that they were all terrified, Huan Fan slowed down his tone again:
"Don't worry, since I have done this, I have already considered how to deal with the aftermath. As long as you follow my instructions, you will naturally have no worries."
As he spoke, he showed a ruthless expression again, "But if you don't do what I say, and you are held accountable afterwards, can you escape?"
Si Fan has already made some psychological preparations since he followed Huan Fan into Tongque Garden.
Hearing Huan Fan's words at this time, my heart sank, knowing that there was no way out, and I had to go all the way to the end with Huan Fan.
Gritting his teeth, Si Fan showed a determined look on his face:
"Emissary Huan, please ask for instructions on what we should do."
"If you want to keep the affairs of the palace from leaking out, except for these talented people, the rest may not be kept!"
As soon as these words came out, some of the shivering palace servants Xiaohuang finally came to their senses and hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Spare me, spare me!"
Huan Fan did not look at the begging man, but stared straight at Si Fan.
Si Fan still doesn't understand?
I saw him pull out the knife with a "clang", strode forward, and killed the one who screamed the loudest with one knife.
Then he turned his head and shouted to his cronies: "Not one left!"
When those palace people saw this, they immediately screamed and fled in all directions.
It’s just that the gate of this palace has already been closed by Huan Fan’s men, so where else can they escape?
Under the coercion and lure of Huan Fan and Si Fan, even the hesitant sergeants were forced to get blood on their hands.
If the palace people are not enough to kill, then a few knives will be added to the corpse to make up the number.
After killing all the people in the hall, Huan Fan asked someone to bring the corpses in the sacks he had prepared long ago.
At the same time, it was also ordered that the stones used for decoration or viewing in the temple be removed, and each sack should be filled with a stone.
If there are not enough stones, use heavy objects such as iron lamps in the hall to make up.
Then, in the middle of the night, these more than a hundred sacks were transported to the edge of the Zhang River, sank to the bottom of the water, and the corpses were destroyed.
Then send someone to wash away the blood in the temple without leaving any traces.
After so much busy work, the sky is already showing light.
Huan Fan then packed up his men and horses and withdrew from Tongque Garden.
There are still two days left, and he still needs to clean up some of the ends to prepare for Sima Yi's entry into the city.
For example, how to seal the mouths of the sergeants involved in this matter, at least delay the time for Sima Yi to know about it as much as possible.
It is impossible to completely hide it.
Huan Fan knew that the current Yecheng was probably like a sieve in front of Sima Yi, and there was no secret at all.
Careless, careless!
The south of Yecheng is Hanoi, and they didn't expect to guard against Sima Yi.
It's too careless!
Until seeing Sima Yi leading the army into the city, Huan Fan still couldn't stop chanting these words in his heart.
Sima Yi saw Huan Fan from a distance, immediately got off his horse, stepped forward quickly, bowed his hands and saluted with apologetic expression on his face:
"Emissary Huan, for the sake of the generals and soldiers of the army, he had to make such a bad plan, which surprised you!"
Huan Fan didn't say a word, just kowtowed.
"Hey, hey, what is envoy Huan doing?"
Sima Yi seemed to be taken aback, he quickly helped Huan Fan up, and said loudly:
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Huan Fan then opened his mouth and said:
"The Tai Tuo is planning for the officers and soldiers, and Fan is also responsible for it, so I had to speak ill at each other before, but I don't know how the Tai Tuo will deal with me?"
Sima Yi laughed and stroked Huan Fan's back:
"Emissary Huan's words are too much! Envoy Huan is the governor of Jizhou, and it is his duty to guard the city. Don't say that it is bad words, even if swordsmen meet, I dare not say that Emissary Huan is wrong."
After speaking, he slowed down his tone again, with eager anticipation in his eyes:
"The country is in danger, and I only hope that I can settle the suspicion with Mr. Huan. I hope Mr. Huan can help me with the matter of Hebei."
Unexpectedly, Huan Fan sighed, shook his head and refused:
"A certain general is from the same town as the general, and was fortunate to be supported by the general, so he was able to serve as the governor of Jizhou."
"Now that I have been entrusted by the great general, I am extremely ashamed, how dare I accept the kindness of the Grand Tutor again?"
After speaking, he bowed to Sima Yi again:
"All kinds of books and documents in Jizhou have been sealed up in the treasury, and only wait for the Taifu to open them."
When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately beamed with joy.
With these things, everything in Jizhou is under control!
Han Fan continued to say:
"If the Grand Tutor really can ignore my previous crimes, for the sake of my minor merits, please allow me to leave with my followers."
"If the Taifu doesn't allow me, I will ask myself to go to the prison and wait for the court to commit crimes."
Sima Yi was startled, and lost his voice:
"What does Mr. Huan mean by this? Could it be that he wants to abandon his official position and leave, this, this, doesn't this make me a sinner?"
According to the best situation he imagined, it is natural to let Huan Fan stay and continue to serve as the governor of Jizhou on the surface, so as to appease the people of Jizhou.
And I installed cronies, and slowly controlled Jizhou secretly.
In this way, the alternation of control of Jizhou can be completed without any surprises.
Huan Fan's words broke Sima Yi's fantasy.
"A certain general entrusted him with the responsibility, how can he have the face to stay in the position of governor of Jizhou? When he came out today, he had already hung his official seal on the hall, and now he just wants to resign and return to his hometown."
Sima Yi also knew that the relationship between Huan Fan and Cao Shuang was indeed not superficial.
And this time he led the army into Hebei, and he had completely torn his face with Cao Shuang.
Not to mention that he had people enumerate Cao Shuang's crimes outside Yecheng.
It may not be easy for Huan Fan to stay.
Sima Yi sighed long, and looked at Huan Fan regretfully:
"Emissary Huan really doesn't want to help me?"
Huan Fan looked fixedly at Sima Yi, and said:
"Teacher wants me to go to jail?"
The implication is that if you want him to stay, you have to imprison him in prison.
"How dare I do this?"
If there is no legitimate reason to arrest a state governor in prison, it is really no different from rebellion.
"Then Taifu is planning to let me bear the kindness of the general and the righteousness of my fellow countrymen, so that the world will laugh at me?"
Sima Yi was silent for a while, and then said:
"How dare I do this?"
sighed again: "Then, envoy Huan please do it."
Then he turned around and told the left and right:
"The order will go on, and the envoy Huan will enter and leave Yecheng. No one will stop him. Anyone who violates it will be dealt with according to military law!"
"Here!"
"Thank you, Taifu."
"It's me, Xie Huan, who is the envoy. I don't hurt the soldiers and protect the soldiers and officials. I really have a heart of benevolence and righteousness."
Huan Fan shook his head without changing his face:
"From then on, a certain is no longer the governor of Jizhou, and dare not be called an envoy."
After speaking, he saluted Sima Yi again, turned his head to greet his followers, and left Yecheng.
But saw that the team was mighty, no fewer than three hundred people.
During the period, there were even dozens of good horses.
Although Sima Yi was slightly surprised, he didn't delve into it.
After all these years, the aristocratic families, the powerful and powerful, and the trend of annexing land have not diminished with the decline of the Great Wei, but have become more violent.
For example, Taichung Sangou, who lived in Xuchang, still dared to take advantage of the situation to swallow Luoyang Royal Tangmu and Hanoi government to farm.
His greedy heart can be seen.
Do all the wealth in the world, and then naturally indulge in pleasure and extravagance.
Huan Fan came from the Huan family in Longkang County, Pei County.
The Huan family passed down the "Shangshu" for generations.
Although Huan Fan has the reputation of being honest and thrifty, what about reputation...
Sima Yi looked at the long line, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
It was not without reason that the first emperor wanted to suppress the pompous people.
But right now is not the time to feel sorry for this, wait patiently for Huan Fan's team to leave the city, and Sima Yi can't wait to send people to the treasury for inspection.
It turns out that, as Huan Fan said, the materials in the treasury, books and documents are all well sealed, and there is no intentional damage.
Sima Yi finally couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart:
"Huan Yuan didn't lie to me. All the books and records are complete. It seems that Dingkou, the land of Jizhou, is in the palm of the stockholder!"
Recalling that I have been trapped in Hanoi, Henan Province for so many years, I have to do my best to block the western thieves, and at the same time demand food from the eastern traitors.
Does anyone know what's wrong with this?
Now it's all right, now it's all right!
Rao is Sima Yi's scheming, but when he picked up a book and patted it vigorously with one hand, his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
As long as Hebei is controlled, there will be no need to be controlled by traitors from now on.
It can be said that a fish escapes the net and jumps into the river, and is free from now on!
Although it was a pity that Huan Fan left, he was also considered interesting, and hung his official seal on the hall, as if he had resigned and returned home.
In this way, I will not be said to have driven out the court officials, and naturally I will not have too much trouble.
At worst, I will write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send another governor to take charge.
As for myself, before the arrival of the governor, in order to prevent the western thieves from taking the opportunity to go east, I will naturally have to work hard and act as an agent for Jizhou.
It was just that he entered Yecheng by himself, and had to retreat to Jizhou except for being a lone army to attack bandits.
There is another reason, and that is to punish Cao Shuang.
And Cao Shuang's crime is the most serious, no more than insulting the late emperor.
Thinking of this, Sima Yi hastily called out:
"Come here, gather people and horses, and follow me to the Tongque Garden."
Before, the gatekeeper of Tongque Garden could be regarded as a leisurely and comfortable position.
Who would have expected that these days, it would be the biggest crisis.
Seeing Huan Shijun leading people into the Tongque Garden at night, he still doesn't know what kind of trouble he will suffer.
At this time, seeing the Taifu leading the troops over, the gatekeeper felt that the sky was about to fall.
Because of his duty, he had to bite the bullet and step forward:
"The villain pays a visit to the Grand Tutor, but I don't know that the Grand Tutor is here, uh, but, what's the matter?"
Facing this trembling gatekeeper, Sima Taifu was much more amiable than Huan Shijun.
"No need to be like this. I led the army here this time to seek traitors and revitalize the royal family. I heard that Cao Shuang secretly recruited talented people from the late emperor, and dared to hide in the Tongque Garden built by Emperor Wu."
"Such actions are simply despising the royal family and trampling on the imperial power. It is not an exaggeration to call it a traitor."
"That's why I came here this time to expose the rebellion of the rebellious ministers and clean up the dirt of the royal family."
As soon as the gatekeeper heard this, he was drenched in cold sweat, his legs became weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Um?"
Seeing the other party's appearance, Sima Taifu keenly felt something was wrong:
"Why do you look like this?"
"Too...too...Teacher, please forgive me!"
The gatekeeper's teeth were chattering up and down, and he couldn't even speak coherently:
"Little man, the villain is just a gatekeeper. I, I don't know anything about what's in this forbidden garden!"
"So that's how it is." Sima Yi shook his head and laughed, "I didn't say I wanted to embarrass you, why did you do this? Just get out of the way and let me in."
The gatekeeper moved away with weak legs, and stammered:
"There is one thing, the villain does not know whether to say it or not."
"Huh?" Sima Yi, who was about to pass the gatekeeper, suddenly stopped, "What's the matter?"
"Emissary Huan, envoy Huan brought a large number of people into the Tongque Garden three nights ago..."
Before he finished speaking, Sima Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and the eyeballs protruded like dead fish.
The originally amiable look disappeared immediately, and even the voice of speaking became sharp:
"What did you say!"
As if he could not believe what he heard, he repeated again, "Say it again!"
"Emissary Huan, three nights ago, he also brought a large number of people..."
"Goddamn!"
Sima Yi finally couldn't maintain his demeanor anymore, and led people straight into the Tongque Garden.
In three days, not to mention the fifty-seven talented people had disappeared without a trace, even the blood on the ground had been washed away.
Sima Yi stood in the empty palace, stunned for a long time, then suddenly drew his sword, slashed at the pillar beside him, and cursed in a somewhat furious voice:
"Huan Fan Pif, how dare you deceive me!"
That's right, taking down Yecheng is the biggest purpose of my trip.
But if there is no evidence of Cao Shuang's crime in hand, then I will lose more than half of my righteousness when I entered Yecheng this time.
Careless!
Huan Fan Piff, for so many days, he pretended to be pitiful, all to numb himself!
Fortunately, I still want to let him stay and continue to serve as the governor of Jizhou.
No wonder he runs so fast!
Too careless!
I have been planning for so long, but in the end I was overwhelmed by the fact that Yecheng was taken down without bloodshed. I only thought about taking over Jizhou, but I was in no mood to think about other things.
"Teacher, do you want to send someone to chase after him immediately?"
Seeing Tai Tuo like this, he quickly came up to suggest.
"Chasing! Of course we have to chase, and we must chase them all!"
"Here!"
After the cronies left in a hurry, Sima Yi slumped down on the steps in front of the hall.
Although he ordered the man to be chased back, Sima Yi knew that if Huan Fan wanted to run away, and he sent someone to chase him now, it would be impossible to get him back in all likelihood.
After all, it took so long to open the treasury and check the books, and it took some time to come to the Tongque Garden.
Thinking of those good horses in Huan Fan's team...
"Pifu, this has been premeditated a long time ago!"
Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Not only helped Cao Shuang destroy the evidence, but even set up a trap for himself.
If Cao Shuang can't find the talents Cao Shuang sent to Yetai, Cao Shuang can denounce himself for the crime of counter-fraud.
Without righteousness, or in other words, lack of righteousness, then even if you lead the army into Jizhou, it is understandable.
But trespassing into Yecheng without authorization will also become another person's testimony.
"Huan Fan's intentions are extremely vicious, and he wants to put me to death!"
Sima Yi's eyes flickered fiercely, "If you can really capture this person, you must not keep him."
"If you keep it, it will definitely become Cao Shuang's think tank, and there will be endless troubles."
Although Huan Fan made a move, Sima Yi was a man who had seen big storms after all.
He sat on the ground blankly, quickly cleaned up his emotions, rethought, and began to consider how to deal with possible problems in the future.
Right now, controlling Jizhou is a foregone conclusion, and there will be much room for maneuver in the future.
The connection between Youzhou in the north and Xuchang will be easily cut off by him.
Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he shouted again: "Come here, prepare your pen and ink!"
