The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 384 Collecting Evidence 383
From the moment Sima Yi entered the big tent, Wenpin looked at Sima Yi, but he saw that Sima Yi was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair complexion, handsome face, and a trace of childishness on his face.

"Did the eldest son send you here?" Wen Pin asked, looking at Sima Yi suspiciously.

Sima Yi nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My name is Sima Yi, and I am the newly-appointed chief bookkeeper of the eldest son. I sneaked here secretly under the orders of the eldest son!"

Wenpin looked unusually calm, and asked: "You say you are the eldest son's confidant, and I can also say that I am the eldest son's confidant, and I have never met you, nor have I had any contact with the eldest son, how can you Let me believe that you are the eldest son?"

Sima Yi chuckled, took out a seal from his bosom without any haste, showed it directly in front of everyone, and said to Wenpin: "This seal is a token, if you don't believe it, you can use it on the spot!"

Wen Pinchong winked at a village head with the same position beside him, 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 on the ground. In front of Sima Yi.

Obviously, this is to verify the seal.

Sima Yi smiled slightly, held up the seal ribbon and dipped the ink inside the inkstone, and directly covered the seal ribbon on the cloth curtain.

At this time, the head of the village turned around and walked to Wenpin's side, and handed the curtain to Wenpin.

Wenpin took over the cloth curtain that covered the seal, and looked at it carefully, but saw that there were six clear characters "Jiangxia Prefect's Seal" displayed on it, and beside these six characters, there were some shapes Weird patterns.

"Li Tong!" Wen Pin yelled at the head of the village just now.

The head of the village named Li Tong understood it, and immediately turned around and took out a document from the corner of a table in the tent, then spread out the document, and compared it carefully twice to make sure The authenticity of the printed ribbon.

A moment later, a faint smile appeared on Wenpin's livid face. The seal on Sima Yi's body was real, exactly the same as the prefect's seal on the official documents he treasured.

The seal is an important item that the prefect carries with him, and he will never give it to someone who has nothing to do with it. Sima Yi has this seal on his body, which is enough to prove that he is the confidant of Liu Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia.

"It's just a matter of offending, Wen is only out of caution, and I hope Master Sima will not take offense!" Putting down the things in his hands, Wen Pin walked to Sima Yi's side with a smile on his face, and said with cupped hands.

Sima Yi saw that Wenpin was rough and detailed, and he looked at Wenpin differently, so he said kindly: "It's right for Chief Wen to be cautious. If it were me, I would do the same."

"Master Sima laughed, Master Sima, please take your seat!"

While speaking, Wen Pin pushed Sima Yi to the top position, and let Sima Yi sit in the middle of the big tent, replacing Wen Pin's original position.

Sima Yi, as the head of the prefect's mansion, although his position is not high, but because he is a person close to the prefect, even ordinary county magistrates have to give up three points.What's more, Wenpin is just a small village chief?
"Master Wen Tun, do I count as a dove occupying a magpie's nest?" Sima Yi sat there, looked around at the dozens of people in the big tent, and said with a grin.

Wen Pin laughed and said: "In terms of official positions, Master Sima is much higher than me, and he is also the confidant of the eldest son. We are all vulgar people from the army, so naturally we cannot be compared with Master Sima. Master Sima sits at the head seat. Besides, the eldest son sent Master Sima here, there must be something important. Although Wen and the others are vulgar people who came from the army, as long as the eldest son has any orders, I will You must do your best to serve the eldest son!"

Li Tong and the others clasped their fists in unison and said, "We will do our best to serve the eldest son!"

Wenpin, Li Tong and others, although they are all low-level military officers, they are all veterans who are used to fighting. These people are the elite of the entire navy.Moreover, the news spread in all directions, Cai Mao wanted to put the eldest son to death, and they all knew it very well.Although they are all Cai Mao's subordinates, they already hated Cai's actions to the core.

Therefore, Wenpin, Li Tong and others have been waiting for an opportunity to completely break away from Cai's mercy.But now, the opportunity was right in front of him. The eldest son sent Sima Yi here, there must be something important. Wenpin saw the timing and asked questions immediately, hoping that Sima Yi's purpose of coming was the same as what he thought.

Sima Yi heard Wenpin, Li Tong and others express their attitudes, and said immediately: "It seems that you already know my reason for coming."

Wenpin hastily explained: "Boss Sima, we don't know the reason for your visit. We just want to express our original intention to you. Although we used to be Cai Mao's subordinates, now, we are all under the prefect of Jiangxia, that is, the big Young Master’s subordinates, so we should serve the Young Master.”

Sima Yi smiled, very satisfied with Wenpin'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 else, and said straight to the point: "To tell the truth, I came here this time under the secret order of the eldest son. The actions of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and other party members have long been recognized by the eldest son." I hate them to the core, but because there is no evidence, there is nothing I can do about them. Therefore, the eldest son sent me here to collect the crimes of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others, and then wipe them all out. Since you are all willing to It will be much easier for the eldest son to do things. You are all in the army, and you must know what Cai Qing and Cai Zhu are doing. If you are willing to testify and collect evidence, then Cai Qing and Cai Zhu will undoubtedly die .”

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally all eyes were on Wenpin.Sima Yi could tell that Wenpin was their backbone, and these people had already followed suit.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Wen Pin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master Sima, it is not difficult for us to collect evidence and testify, but the difficulty is that Cai Qing and Cai Zhu are both Cai Mao's cousins. Moreover, the Cai Clan's power is huge and deeply entrenched. If the eldest son wants to move them, I'm afraid that Cai Mao will not be willing, right? If he makes a fool of himself, he may steal a chicken and lose a lot of rice..."

After hearing this, Sima Yi knew what Wenpin and the others were worried about. They were worried that the eldest son would not be able to bring down Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and the others, which would anger Cai Mao, and instead be oppressed by Cai Mao. Cai Zhu, on the contrary, the eldest son will also be threatened by Cai Mao, and the grassroots people like them are even less confident.

Sima Yi said: "Don't worry, the Eldest Young Master will never act rashly if you don't have full confidence. As long as you can collect evidence of Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others' crimes, the Eldest Young Master will have a way to put them to death."

Wenpin, Li Tong and the others looked at each other again, and then began to whisper to each other there. After some discussion, Wenpin finally said: "Master Sima, we have already hated Cai's actions to the core. Because, it is not difficult at all to collect evidence. Since the Eldest Young Master wants to punish the Cai family, even if we go through fire and water, we will not hesitate, and from now on, we are willing to be urged by the Eldest Young Master!"

After hearing this, Sima Yi burst into laughter, and then began to discuss with Wen Pin, Li Tong and others how to collect Cai's criminal evidence.

Even in Sima Yi's dreams, he never imagined that the heaven seemed to be taking care of him, as if it was preordained in the dark, and it was up to him to use this matter to make a name for himself.

One day later, Wen Pin, Li Tong and others followed Sima Yi's instructions and began to collect evidence against Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and others.

Because Cai Qing and Cai Zhu are protected by their cousin Cai Mao, they have always acted unscrupulously, and they are becoming more and more bold. They have reached 1 people on empty pay. In addition, they also enslave soldiers and let them work for them.

Cai Qing and Cai Zhu even seized good land near the military camp and raped women from good families, making the people in a radius of tens of miles restless. Although the magistrate of Zhu County knew about these illegal things, he did not dare to intervene. Jingzhou is too powerful, and no one dares to provoke it.

However, this time Sima Yi knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, so he went to the mountain, and his intention was very simple, that is, to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

In Jingzhou, the Cai family covered the sky with one hand, formed a party for selfish interests, and acted recklessly. No one dared to control Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was blinded by him. He had no way of knowing the following things.

Therefore, Sima Yi wanted to use this incident to help Liu Qi, counterattack Cai Mao, and warn Cai Mao that Liu Qi is not easy to mess with.

Moreover, besides Cai Hao, there are Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu in Jingzhou. Although they both have secret contacts with the eldest son, if the eldest son has no strength, they will never gamble their wealth and life on On the body of the eldest son.

Therefore, if you want to need help from others, you must first become tough yourself.Sima Yi wanted to use this time to rectify the navy to achieve his goal.

A few days later, when the Eldest Young Master arrives at the Shuijun Camp in Zhu County with his people, the whole Jingzhou will be shaken, and Sima Yi will also become famous in Jingzhou.

As Wen Pin said, the criminal evidence of Cai Qing and Cai Zhu is very easy to collect. These people are blatant, and the soldiers at the grassroots level hate these two moths. Although yesterday's small resistance failed, but Wenpin, who was on the sidelines, saw hope, because this incident aroused hatred among more people.

Therefore, when Wenpin, Li Tong and others walked around, almost all the soldiers at the grassroots level chose to side with the eldest son Liu Qi without exception.

Sima Yi retreated behind the scenes, secretly manipulating Wenpin, Li Tong and the others. The moment Liu Qi arrives is the time for Sima Yi to shine!
