Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 328
The first person Ma Di suspected was Sima Shi.

Sima Shi was born in the 13th year of Jian'an and is now 28 years old. He is as famous as Xia Houxuan and He Yan.Because he is a son of a rich family, he has many contacts with celebrities, has a large circle of friends, and has a good reputation.

Sima Shi's wife was Xiahou Hui, the daughter of Xiahoushang and Xiahouxuan's younger sister, and they had five daughters.Xia Houhui was very knowledgeable and tolerant. During the Sima family's official career in Wei Dynasty, he often planned to assist Sima Shi from the sidelines.

Because the Xiahou family and the Cao family came from the same lineage, Sima Shi had many scruples about his wife Xiahou Hui.

Originally, with the demise of the Wei State, the relationship between the husband and wife improved, but as the Xiahou clan was reused by Liu Chan, Master Sima was restless, so he took the opportunity to poison Xiahou Hui.

Of course, the poisoning incident was a guess made by Ma Su based on known history, which should be close to the truth.Master Sima is loyal and righteous on the surface, but in fact he is vicious and vicious, and will do anything to achieve his goals.

Sima Shi's official position is not high. Before, he was just a regular attendant on horseback, one of the emperor's entourage.But Sima Shi's modest attitude and extraordinary conversation won the favor of Shu Han officials.

As a result, Sima Shi became one of Liu Chan's closest ministers. He kept a low profile, behaved calmly and well, and knew the temperament and hobbies of the colleagues around him like the back of the palm of his hand.Since Sima Yi had fought in all directions with Sima Yi for many years, Master Sima was also quite familiar with the process of the imperial army.

There is no reason for such a talent not to show up, and soon Liu Chan began to notice Master Sima.

After Sima Yi made the contribution to pacify the Western Regions, Sima Shi was received grandly by Emperor Liu Chan and was immediately promoted to the leader of the Central Committee.You know, this is a position that only the children of Zhuge and Xiahou are qualified to hold.

For Liu Chan, Sima Shi is just a useful courtier, and there is no more profound meaning in being named the leader of the Central Committee.But for other people in the court, the rise of Sima Shi means that the Sima family has become Ji Han's fifth prominent family after the Zhuge family, Ma family, Xiahou family, and Lu family.

In view of the fact that the previous four families were so connected that they almost wore a pair of trousers, many officials with little family background began to consciously win over Sima Shi. Among them was Fei Yi. He had visited many times to chat with him about major events in the world, and the latter replied one by one. The unique insights and talents revealed in the words surprised Fei Yi.

As the conversation deepened, the two had the idea of ​​killing the general and removing the blocking stone.

Thus, the assassination plan came out.

The truth must be like this. Ma Di nodded, feeling that he had seen everything.

As long as you get the evidence, you can take Sima Shi down, kill everyone as an example, and set an example!
As long as there is evidence, Sima Yi will not be able to do anything when he comes, and he will not be able to keep Sima Shi.

As a general with great power and full sense of crisis, Ma Di would not let an enemy like Sima Shi grow strong enough to deal with him.

It was really lucky this time, there was a stand-in to block the knife, what about next time?There are many occasions that he, a great general, must attend. If someone comes to assassinate him at that time, it will be bad.

Therefore, a substitute has to be found again.

The big deal is to give a little more money and a little more pension.

Thinking so, Ma Su shouted outside the door: "Come here!"

"General." The young general Zhao Guang and Qu Shang pushed the door together and entered.

Ma Su said to Zhao Guang in a deep voice: "Go and send a few people to find out all the whereabouts of Master Sima. You must know exactly who you meet and what you say every day. If he has anything If there is any change, report it to me immediately, we must start first!"

Zhao Guang hurriedly bowed his hands and accepted the order, "Yes, General, do you want to monitor the people who have been in contact with Master Sima?"

Ma Di glanced at him, very dissatisfied, "Your first day at work?"

"Yes, the general understands how to do it."

"Be more subtle in your actions, anyone who leaks information, beheaded!"

"Yes."

Ma Di said coldly: "Hmph, if the evidence is found, I will kill his Sima family!"

"Yes!" Zhao Guang promised to leave.

Qu Shang witnessed the whole process of the conversation between the two, hesitated for a moment, and said: "General, please calm down. After all, Master Sima is an imperial official, and his father, Sima Yi, is leading the army. If Your Majesty finds out about spying on the imperial official, I'm afraid it will be wrong." Mei... please think again, General."

Ma Di waved his hand: "No need to say too much, I have my own measure."

"Yes"


……

On the other side, Cheqi General's Mansion.

Master Sima, who had returned from the court, looked solemnly, looking around at the four followers, "Who leaked the news?"

Sima Zhao was also confused, and his heart was in a mess: "Brother, since the general has become suspicious, let's stop this time."

Master Sima slowly drew out his sword: "Brother Zhao, don't panic, they can't find anything. The most urgent thing is to strictly guard against death, and don't make mistakes again."

"Brother, what should we do?"

Master Sima looked outside the room and suddenly shouted: "Who is outside the door?"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The four entourages hurriedly turned to look.

Then there were four sounds of "puchi, puchi" from behind.The four of them threw swords in their hearts one after another, and fell to the ground, dying instantly.

Witnessing the killing of four of his confidantes in front of his own eyes, Sima Zhao was so frightened that his voice stuttered for a moment.

"Brother, elder brother, is this?"

Sima Shi returned to his sword, wiped it slowly, and said in a calm voice as if nothing had happened: "The reason why the general sent someone to monitor me? It was because he suspected that I was related to Wang Ping's assassination. From today onwards, my two brothers must thank guests behind closed doors, and do not chat with others except for official business. Brother Zhao, do you remember?"

"Remember, brother."

"Well, we'll talk about everything when father comes back."

"Will father come back?"

"Will do."

"Oh"

The conversation between the two brothers fell silent.

Cheqi General's Mansion was quiet, and even the servants rarely moved around.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Ma Su was listening to Zhao Guang's report on the situation in his study, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

"Old General Zhao, the General is meeting with guests, please don't disturb me, please come over to Old General Zhao."

"Qu Shang? Get out of the way!"

"Old generals are not allowed to enter, the great general is really receiving guests!"

bang

The door was pushed open vigorously.

Zhao Yun looked at Ma Di and his youngest son Zhao Guang in the study, and then at Qu Shang.

Qu Shang touched his nose in embarrassment, and retreated despondently.

Zhao Yun walked into the room, first glanced at his second son who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, then looked at Ma Di, and said with a smile: "Youchang, it's different to be a general, even I need to report... "

"Looking at the situation, it seems that Xiaochang is plotting against a certain minister. Let Zhao to guess who this hapless guy is..."

Ma Di rolled his eyes, almost laughed at Zhao Yun's words, and quickly changed the subject, "Old General, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Yun chuckled: "That's not true, it's just that I'm not feeling well recently, so I'll walk around and come and have a look."

"..."

Ma Su silently took out a cloth bag, put it in Zhao Yun's hand, and looked at him without speaking.

"Oh, look at my memory, I suddenly remembered something at home, so I left." Zhao Yun touched the cloth bag, found four pills inside, slapped his forehead, and left.

Come fast, go faster.

Zhao Guang looked at his father's back curiously, and his eyes fell on the cloth bag. It was not until Zhao Yun disappeared around the corner that he turned around and opened his mouth to speak.

Ma Di raised his hand to stop, "Don't ask, continue to monitor Master Sima."

"Ah?" Zhao Guang nodded, and wanted to speak,
Ma Di glared at him, "I told you, don't ask!"

"No, General, I discovered a new situation."

"what's the situation?"

"General, do you still remember Jia Chong, the small school at the North Gate? He has been very active recently, frequently visiting the officials of the court. At the end of the day, he saw that he was only a district official, but he could go in and out of various official residences. He was curious, so he asked Someone was sent to monitor it."

"Jia Chong? I forgot him." Ma Di's eyes lit up, "I will arrest him immediately and serve him with great torture!"

"Oh yes, arrest his family members too!"

"Also, arrest all three of his clans!"

Hearing this, Zhao Guang was stunned, "General, what charges are we arresting him for?"

"Well, that's a problem." Ma Di nodded. If Jia Chong was arrested without giving any charges, someone would definitely criticize him for abusing his power and engaging in white terror.

Therefore, it is necessary to give a charge that can arrest all three clans of Jia Chong.

However, this Jia Chong is only a city gate official now, and apart from participating in the assassination, it is impossible to have other crimes.

However, there is no evidence for his participation in the assassination, so he cannot be arrested for this crime.

What crime to arrange for him?
This guy's official position is too small to deal with.

Zhao Guang is also upright, obviously he is not the kind of person who does bad things, framing this kind of thing, looking for him is like looking for nothing.

Ma Di was suffering from not having a good strategy, when he suddenly saw Qu Shang hiding in the distance and looking over here, his eyes lit up, and he said yes.

Qu Shang is full of bad water, so he is suitable for this job.

So he waved to Qu Shang: "You, come here! Yes, it's you!"

"What orders does the General have?" Qu Shang trotted to Ma Di.

"You send a few people to arrange a charge for Jia Chong, a small school at the North Gate. If you want a charge that can arrest the three clans immediately, can you handle this well?"

"What's so difficult about a trivial matter?" Qu Shang clasped his hands and said, "General, if you are not talented, there are at least nine ways to make Jia Chong commit the crime of punishing the nine clans!"

"Very good, let's do it quickly. Zhao Guang, you cooperate with him."

"Yes, General." The two took orders and left.

……

The next day, Tingwei went to prison.

Xiang Chong looked at Jia Chong who was kneeling below speechlessly, slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Bold Jia Chong, you dare to rebel?!"

Jia Chong's eyes were a little slack, staring straight at the pile of dazzling objects thrown in front of him, unable to recover for a long time.

Until now, he is still in a state of bewilderment.

Last night, he was supposed to be on duty at the North Gate, but suddenly a group of Imperial Guards came and said that he was planning to rebel, and then they arrested him.

He is a little doorman, what is he using to plot rebellion?

Did anyone rebel against him?
But the pile of golden knives and yellow robes in front of him was indeed dug out from the backyard of his house by the soldiers of the Imperial Army who he saw with his own eyes, and the backyard did not seem to have been tampered with.

In other words, if he couldn't explain the golden sword and yellow robe clearly, not to mention the nine clans, at least the three clans would be gone.

Seeing Jia Chong's silence for a long time, Xiang Chong was a little angry, and patted the gavel again, "Bold Jia Chong! If you don't invite him in the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless! Come here, and you will be punished!"

"Slow down, slow down, my lord, I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting. I am wronged."

Xiang Chong sneered and said, "Wronged? Every prisoner who comes here says that!"

"You colluded with Fei Yi and Yang Yi, assassinated the general, and intended to rebel. Lieutenant Ben Ting has already found out clearly, why don't you recruit them quickly?!"

"Come here~ use torture!"

……

When Xiang Chong was interrogating Jia Chong, Ma Su was sitting in the study of the General's Mansion, holding a teacup, drinking tea, and slowly asking Qu Shang about the progress of the matter.

"Is Jia Chong's whole family arrested?"

"Yes, General."

"What do you say to Mr. Chong?"

"Say to Mr. Chong, please rest assured, the general, the case will definitely be settled."

"Well, not bad! What crime is used?"

"rebellion……"

"Pfft~~"
