Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 272
Chapter 273
"Young master, Zheng Yi has been arrested and brought to justice!"

Cao Chong was discussing the specific implementation plan of the New Deal with Zhou Buyu in the study, when Cao Yan came to report suddenly.

Cao Chong has decided to postpone the implementation of the new policy for another five days, mainly because of Wen Jiao, and to give the newcomers more time to prepare.

"Didn't you say that there is still an important witness that has not been confirmed? Why are you in such a hurry?" Cao Chong asked.

"Zheng Yi suddenly wanted to leave Xingyang, and the school captain who stayed in Xingyang decided to arrest him in advance." Cao Yan explained.

"It's reasonable to deal with it, but can the key witness's testimony be confirmed? His confession is the most direct evidence." Cao Chong asked Cao Yan.

"I can only take a risk. When arresting Zheng Yi, he also arrested Wang Shi and all his family members. He handles all matters related to bandits."

"When they are taken to Luoyang, I will interrogate them immediately. The chickens and dogs are all there, and Wang Shi should be able to testify." Cao Yan expressed his thoughts.

Cao Chong listened and nodded: "That's the only way!"

"Do you have any questions?" Seeing that Cao Yan hadn't left, Cao Chong asked proactively.

"Young master, you want to use Zheng Yi to establish your prestige, why are you so troublesome? As for these criminal evidences, it is useless for you to prepare convincing evidence, young master, all the truths in this world are in the mouths of these people!" Cao Yan asked Cao Chong puzzled. .

"Hehe, I don't want to show my prestige, but I just want to scare the young people. As for these criminal evidences, they are never shown to the gentry, but to the prime minister's mansion."

"It's like what you said, 'All the truths in the world are in people's mouths', even if they kill people, set fires, rape and plunder, they can tell you with a high-sounding sound, no matter how hard the evidence is, it's useless."

"However, if the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to maintain the stability of the world and its own authority, it still has to follow some bottom lines. With these evidences, we can gain the support of the whole Prime Minister's Mansion by killing Zheng Yi." Cao Chong patiently explained to Cao Yan.

"But even if the Prime Minister's Office supports it, a little Zheng Yi can't deter the Zheng family, right?"

"Who said you want to frighten the Zheng family? To show arrogance and arrogance to a top gentry like the Zheng family! Killing Zheng Yi will only arouse their anger."

"Then young master, are you still doing this?" Cao Yan became more and more confused.

"It's not just people like Zheng Yi who participated in driving out the refugees this time. Many small nobles around Luoyang basically participated. Otherwise, the momentum wouldn't be so great."

"These low-ranking gentry who are attached to the top gentry and obey their orders are the young people I want to frighten. They are numerous and powerful, and can cause direct damage to Luoyang at any time. Think about Chen Bing and Cui Tao. You will know what the fork is doing."

"I want them to think about whether their necks are as hard as Zheng Yi's when they think about being unfavorable to Luoyang in the future!"

Cao Chong was determined to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.

"But, Zheng's side? You said they will be furious." Cao Yan was worried.

After all, the Zheng family is not a small family.

"Don't worry about them, with the support of the Prime Minister's Office, they dare not do anything to the young master blatantly! At least not for the time being, that's why you need to collect criminal evidence." Cao Chong said calmly.

"But……"

"If you have something to say, you have to fart! What are you doing coyly?" Cao Chong was very annoyed by Cao Yan's hesitant to speak.

"Eldest son and Cao Zhi son have been entertaining guests and making friends with celebrities recently. You have been against the nobles all the time, young master. In the future, you, young master..."

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi kept making small moves, and it was obvious that they wanted to win over the gentry, but Cao Chong wanted to go against the gentry.

Who will come to support you in the future?Inherit the rule of Lao Cao!
"Don't worry about them, I have my own plans. Luoyang will enter a period of rapid development next, and my main focus will be on the inside. You have to be more careful about the surrounding situation!"

Cao Chong didn't discuss with Cao Yan much about his affairs with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and after explaining the purpose of making an example of Zheng Yi, he sent him away.

"You also think it's wrong for me to do this?"

After Cao Yan left, Cao Chong looked at Zhou Buqi who was frowning.

"Cao Yan is right in one point, the conflict between you and the gentry is getting deeper and deeper!" Zhou Buyi said lightly.

"It's not that I want to provoke them, it's just that the path I want to take is destined to conflict with them. Some things are unavoidable, and they always provoke them, okay? What can I do?"

"Besides, isn't this a shame?" Cao Chong smiled indifferently.

……

Zheng Yi was taken to Luoyang the next day, but he didn't show any signs of fear. He even clamored to see Cao Chong. Only then did he realize that Cao Chong had arrested him.

Of course, no one paid attention to Zheng Yi, Cao Chong was busy making final preparations for the New Deal, Cao Yan and Cao Tai were busy interrogating Wang Shi overnight.

Wang Shi is one of Zheng Yi's housekeepers, and he was ordered to arrange the contact with bandit leader Liu Ji to attack Luoyang this time.

There happened to be a small surviving leader of the bandits who knew about this, as long as he was asked to testify against Zheng Yi, the evidence that Zheng Yi colluded with the bandits and attacked Luoyang would be impeccable.

Based on this alone, Cao Chong could kill him, not to mention others.

The make-up and ventriloquist skills of Ji Minggou Pi are really easy to use. Zhou Cheng was directly disguised as Zheng Yi, and Wang Shi was deceived into thinking that Zheng Yi recruited everything. up!

After getting the confession, Cao Chong immediately ordered Zheng Yi to be beheaded immediately, and executed in public at noon tomorrow!

Not to mention that Cao Chong had already ordered Zheng Yi to be executed, Henan Yin Guohe was receiving Zheng Song, the elder of the Zheng family, in the lobby with a headache.

"Guo Lingyin, Zheng Yi's father left early and lacked discipline since he was a child. This time, he caused trouble for Ling Yin. For the sake of this old man, Zheng Yi is young and ignorant, so be more tolerant!" Zheng Song pushed back. Guo He a gift list.

When Zheng Song was young, he was taken care of by Zheng Tai a lot. This time when Zheng Yi had an accident, Zheng Song came to beg Guo He sincerely.

Guo He has a headache, why do you think I was the one who caught Zheng Yi?
"Mr. Zheng, this matter really has nothing to do with Mr. Guo. Young Master Cao Chong did everything, and he also arrested the person. You should go to Luoyang as soon as possible." Guo He pushed the gift list back to Zheng Song.

"Didn't Zheng Yi annoy Guo Lingyin?" Zheng Song frowned with doubts.

"I really don't like Zheng Yi's behavior in Xingyang, but I really didn't order him to be arrested."

"Also, Mr. Zheng, don't waste time with me. It's better to hurry to Luoyang. Based on what I know about Cao Chong, I'm afraid I won't easily bypass Zheng Yi this time. If you always go late, I'm afraid the consequences will be dire. Material!" Guo He persuaded again.

Zheng Song was puzzled when he heard Guo He's words: "Guo Lingyin, I have heard about Cao Chong as well, and I heard that he is extremely intelligent!"

Don't waste the word smart, that little bastard Cao Chong is cunning and treacherous!
"But Zheng Yi has been living in Xingyang and Kaifeng, and rarely goes to Xudu and Luoyang. How did he provoke Cao Chong? Let him go to Xingyang to arrest people?" Zheng Song asked.

Stuffed!

You really don't know what Zheng Yi did?
How did you provoke Cao Chong?
Cao Chong is very angry this time!
