383 Collect evidence
As soon as Wen Ping entered the big tent from Sima Yi, he was looking at Sima Yi, but saw that Sima Yi was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair complexion, a handsome face, and a trace of immaturity on his face.
"Did the eldest prince send you?" Wen Pinghu looked at Sima Yi suspiciously and asked.
Sima Yi nodded, and arched his hand: "My name is Sima Yi, and I am the newly appointed chief secretary of the eldest prince, and I secretly sneaked in here on the orders of the eldest prince!" ”
Wen Ping looked unusually calm and asked: "You said that you are the confidant of the eldest prince, and I can also say that I am the confidant of the eldest prince, and I have never met you, and I have no contact with the eldest prince, how can you make me believe that you are the person of the eldest prince?" ”
Sima Yi laughed, unhurriedly took out a seal ribbon from his arms, lit it up directly in front of everyone, and then said to Wen Ping: "This seal ribbon is a token, if you don't believe it, you can test it on the spot!" ”
Wen Pingchong glanced at a tun chief with the same position, and that person tore off a piece of cloth from the curtain behind him, and then walked to Sima Yi's side with an inkstone and spread the curtain in front of Sima Yi.
Obviously, this is to test the seal.
Sima Yi smiled slightly, lifted the seal ribbon and dipped it in the ink in the inkstone, and directly covered the seal ribbon on the cloth curtain.
At this time, the tun chief turned around and walked to Wen Ping's side and handed the cloth curtain to Wen Ping.
Wen Pin took the curtain covered with the ribbon and looked at it carefully, but saw that it showed six clear fonts of "Jiangxia Taishou Seal", and on the sides of these six words, there were some strangely shaped patterns.
"Li Tong!" Wen Ping shouted at the tun chief just now.
The tun chief named Li Tong came to his senses. Immediately turned around and came from the corner of a table in the tent. took out a piece of Wen Gong. Then he spread out the official document and carefully compared it to determine the authenticity of the seal.
After a while, a faint smile appeared on Wen Ping Tieqing's face, the seal on Sima Yi's body was real, and it was exactly the same as the Taishou seal on the official document he treasured.
The ribbon is an important item that Taishou carries with him. It will definitely not be easily handed over to irrelevant people, Sima Yi has this seal on his body, which is enough to prove that he is Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi's confidant.
"It's just a lot of offense, Wen is just out of prudence, and I hope that Master Sima won't be surprised!" Wen Ping put down the things in his hand, walked to Sima Yi's side with a smile on his face, and said with his hand.
Sima Yi saw that Wen Hire was rough and detailed, and he also looked at Wen Ping differently, so he said with a kind face: "Wen Tun is cautious, and it should be." If it were me, I would do the same. ”
Let Master Sima smile. Master Sima, please take a seat! ”
As he spoke, Wen Ping pushed Sima Yi to the top position, and let Sima Yi sit in the middle of the big tent, taking Wen Ping's original position.
Sima Yi is the chief secretary of the Taishou Mansion, although his position is not high, but because he is the person around the Taishou, even if it is an ordinary county order, he must give three points. What's more, Wenpin is just a small chief?
"Chief Wentun, am I considered a dove occupying a magpie's nest?" Sima Yi sat there, looked around at the dozens of people in the big tent, and grinned.
Wen Ping Haha said with a smile: "In terms of official positions, Sima is far higher than us, and he is the confidant of the eldest prince, we are all vulgar people from the army, so naturally we can't be compared with Sima Master, and we should let Sima Master sit in the main seat." Besides, the eldest prince sent Sima Master Book here, there must be something important, although Wen and the others are all vulgar people from the army, but as long as the eldest prince has any orders, we will do our best to do things for the eldest prince! ”
Li Tong and the others clasped their fists in unison and said: "We must do our best to do things for the eldest prince!" ”
Wen Ping, Li Tong and others, although they are all grassroots officers, they are all people who can recruit and fight habitually, and they are the elite of the entire naval army. And the news spreads in all directions, Cai Mao is bent on putting the eldest prince to death, and they are very clear. Although they are all Cai Mao's subordinates, they have long hated what Cai has done.
Therefore, Wen Ping, Li Tong and others have been waiting for an opportunity to completely get out of Cai's mercy. And now, the opportunity is in front of him, the eldest prince sent Sima Yi here, there must be something important, Wen Ping saw the opportunity and immediately asked, hoping that Sima Yi's intention was the same as what he thought.
Sima Yi heard that Wen Ping, Li Tong and others all expressed their attitudes, and immediately said: "It seems that you already know my intention. ”
Wen Ping hurriedly explained: "Master Sima, we don't know your intentions, we just want to express our original intention to you, although we were originally Cai Mao's subordinates, but now, we are all subordinate to Jiangxia Taishou, that is, the subordinates of the eldest prince, so we should serve the eldest prince." ”
Sima Yi smiled, very satisfied with Wen Ping's answer. Moreover, he came here precisely to turn these sailors into Liu Qi's subordinates.
Since the purpose was the same, Sima Yi didn't say anything, and said straight to the point: "Don't hide it, I came this time on the secret order of the eldest prince, and the actions of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and other henchmen, the eldest prince has long hated them, but there is no evidence, so there is no way to take them." That's why the eldest prince sent me to collect the crimes of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others, and then catch them all. Since you are all willing to do things for the eldest prince, then this is much easier, you are all in the army, you must know everything about Cai Qing and Cai Zhu, if you are willing to come forward to testify and collect evidence, then Cai Qing and Cai Zhu will definitely die. ”
After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and all Zuihou's eyes were still focused on Wen Ping. Sima Yi can see that Wenpin is their backbone, and these people have also been hired.
After listening to Sima Yi's words, Wen Ping pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Master Sima, it is not difficult for us to collect evidence and come forward to testify, the difficulty is that Cai Qing and Cai Zhu are both Cai Mao's cousins, and Cai's Shili is huge, and they are all deeply rooted, the eldest prince wants to move them, but I'm afraid that Cai Mao won't be willing there, right?" In case you startle the snake, I'm afraid that I will steal the chicken and not lose a handful of rice......"
After hearing this, Sima Yi knew what Wen Ping and the others were worried about, they were worried that the eldest prince would not be able to bring down Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others, which would anger Cai Mao, but would be oppressed by Cai Mao.
Sima Yi said: "Don't worry, if you are not completely sure, the eldest prince will never act rashly, as long as you can collect illegal evidence of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others, the eldest prince will have a way to put them to death." ”
Wen Ping, Li Tong and others looked at each other again, and then began to whisper there after talking to each other, and after some discussion, finally Wen Ping said: "Master Sima, I have already hated what Cai has done, and it is not difficult to collect evidence at all." Since the eldest prince wants to clean up the Cai family, even if we go to the soup, we will not hesitate, and from now on, we will be willing to be driven by the eldest prince! ”
After Sima Yi heard this, he burst into laughter, and then began to discuss with Wen Ping, Li Tong and others how to collect evidence of Cai's crimes.
Even Sima Yi never dreamed that the heavens seemed to be favoring him, as if he was destined to make a name for himself with the help of this matter.
A day later, Wen Ping, Li Tong and others began to collect evidence of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others in accordance with Sima Yi's instructions.
Cai Qing and Cai Zhu have the protection of Cai Mao's cousin, so they have always been unscrupulous, and they are becoming more and more bold, and they have reached 10,000 people just by eating empty salaries, and in addition, they also enslave soldiers and let them die for them.
Cai Qing and Cai Zhu even forcibly occupied the fertile land near the barracks, raped the women of the good family, and made the people within a radius of dozens of miles unstable.
However, this time, Sima Yi knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so he went to Tiger Mountain, and his intention was very simple, that is, to knock on the mountains and shock the tigers.
Cai's family covered the sky in Jingzhou with one hand, formed a party for personal gain, and acted recklessly, no one dared to take care of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was blinded by it again, and he couldn't know what was going on.
Therefore, Sima Yi wanted to use this incident to help Liu Qi, and dealt a counterattack to Cai Mao, warning Cai Mao that Liu Qi was not easy to mess with.
Moreover, in addition to Cai Mao, there are two people in Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu, although they both have secret contact with the eldest prince, but if the eldest prince has no strength, they will definitely not gamble their lives on the eldest prince.
Therefore, if you want to need help from others, you must first be tough. Sima Yi wanted to use this rectification of the navy to achieve his goal.
A few days later, when the eldest prince arrived at the water army camp in Yixian County with his people, the whole Jingzhou would be shaken, and he, Sima Yi, would also become famous in Jingzhou.
As Wen Ping said, Cai Qing and Cai Zhu's criminal evidence is too easy to collect, these people are all blatant, and the soldiers at the grassroots level hate these two moths, although yesterday's small resistance failed, but Wen Ping, who was watching from the sidelines, saw hope, because this incident inspired more people's hatred.
Therefore, when Wen Ping, Li Tong and others walked around, almost all the soldiers and soldiers at the grassroots level chose to stand on the side of the eldest prince Liu Qi without exception.
Sima Yi retreated behind the scenes, secretly manipulating Wen Ping, Li Tong and others, and the moment Liu Qi arrived, it was the time for him Sima Yi to shine! (To be continued......)
