Chapter 1096 Probing(2/2)

Walking all the way into the Taifu's Mansion, Xu Yun discovered that although the Taifu controlled the entire Luoyang City, the Taifu's Mansion was not as luxurious as the General's Mansion.

On the contrary, I did not see too many slaves and maids, and it seemed that the house was quiet and quiet, quite like taking a break from the hustle and bustle of Luoyang Street.

Coming to the living room, after meeting Sima Yi and sitting down separately as host and guest, Sima Taifu's first sentence was to ask:

"I wonder if the emperor is still well?"

Xu Yun quickly stood up again: "Thank you for your concern, Taifu. The emperor is well."

Seeing this, Sima Yi stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling:

"Sitting, sitting, sitting, I heard from Zishang that when he was in Xuchang, when he went to visit people in the mansion, he was often turned away. It's rare to see people like Mr. Xu who welcomed him into the mansion."

"I'm here. Thank you very much, Mr. Xu, for taking care of him."

"Don't dare!" Xu Yun said quickly, "Master, you should call me Shizong. Erlangjun is in Xuchangli, and he is not actually taken care of by Yun. Yun doesn't dare to take credit."

"Shi Zong is truly a sincere gentleman."

After the pleasantries passed, Xu Yun told Sima Yi the purpose of his trip.

After hearing what Xu Yun said, Sima Yi had a calm expression on his face, as if he had already expected this.

But he nodded:

"I already know this. The general is really putting his heart into assisting the emperor."

When Xu Yun heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Does the general assist the emperor with all his heart?

maybe.

In the first two or three months, I was really attentive.

It's just... alas!

"Since Yun was in the city, I saw that the officials in the city lived in peace, the people were happy and prosperous, and the city was as prosperous as in the past. The Taifu was sitting in Luoyang, so he was really serious."

Hearing Xu Yun's words, Sima Yi's eyes seemed to flash with a faint light.

As an old fox, he escaped Cao Cao's suspicion and became Cao Pi's most trusted minister.

Finally, under the attack of the Han Prime Minister and Feng Gui Wang, he successfully led the army back to Luoyang.

At the same time, he seized the almost impossible opportunity and became the actual controller of Luoyang under Cao Rui's eyes.

The flaw in Xu Yun's words, or the thoughts exposed by the words, were immediately detected by Sima Yi.

When he came on behalf of Xuchang, the other party heard that he praised the general. Instead of answering, he praised his effectiveness in governing Luoyang.

What does this mean?

At least in Xu Yun's mind, Cao Shuang seemed to be inferior to himself in governing Xuchang?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi sighed:

"Shizong has been praised too much. Do I still need these false words in front of my own people? Nowadays, the Shu soldiers in the west are very powerful, and Luoyang is much less lively than before!"

"On the contrary, I heard that in Xuchang, the general boldly eliminated the old disadvantages and appointed celebrities in an unusual way, which is quite a new trend."

Xu Yun sighed:

"The general's intention is good, and he really wants to create a new atmosphere for the new dynasty. Unfortunately, he was too hasty and inevitably used too much force, which made some veterans in the dynasty doubtful."

A smile broke out on Sima Yi's face and he comforted:

"I have heard a little bit about the general's approach, but it is understandable that the general is young and energetic, and his approach is a bit hasty."

Xu Yun looked at Sima Yi and tried to pick him with words:

"According to what Yun sees, at this time, the old ministers in the court should give more guidance, instead of allowing the general to be deceived by villains and disrupt the court's laws."

When Sima Yi heard this, a smile appeared on his face:

"After all, the general is the auxiliary minister entrusted by the late emperor. Now the time is short, let's take a look first. If Shizong is interested, he can ask the old officials in the court what they think after returning to Xuchang."

Xu Yun's heart beat a little loudly.

He took a deep breath and tried hard to stabilize his emotions: "What the Master said is true."

Although it was not stated explicitly, the friendship between the two was still superficial, and for this reason, it was enough.

Someone sent Xu Yun down to rest, and two brothers, Sima Master Sima Zhao, came in.

"Sir, I didn't expect that the secrets of the Shu captives were hidden so deeply, especially that Guo Mo. Do you want to immediately order this person to be arrested and tortured?"

"Torture? Torture him for what?"

Sima Yi looked at Sima Zhao strangely and asked.

"Of course I'm going to torture him about the situation with the Shu captives."

Sima Yi smiled strangely:

"If I remember correctly, this Guo Mo was the one who joined the Wei Dynasty in the first year of Taihe's reign. It has been ten years now!"

"He has been in the Wei army for so many years. I'm afraid he doesn't understand the situation of the Shu captives as well as we do. Do you still want to get news about the Shu captives from his mouth?"

When Sima Zhao heard this, he realized that he was a little too impatient, and he couldn't help but have a sneer on his face.

On the other hand, Master Sima is much more stable than Sima Zhao:

"Sir, we should control this person first."

Sima Yi nodded.

Then he suddenly shook his head: "Zi Yuan, go to the army and bring this person to see me. Remember, don't disturb too many people."

"Sir, these are the remaining people, go and arrest them all."

"promise."

Compared with Xuchang's frantic and violent actions, Luoyang's meticulous arrests seemed a bit calm.

In just one day, the results were already there.

"Sir, most of the craftsmen Xuchang mentioned had fled Luoyang more than two months ago."

Sima Yi seemed to have expected this situation:

"How could the people of Shu be unprepared for the fact that Yang Yi came to surrender? I'm afraid they had already received the news about these meticulous works. How could they stay in Luoyang and wait to die?"

"Then Xuchang..."

"Xuchang said they caught a lot of Xizao, but what kind of confessions did they get from Xizao?"

Sima Yi said in a deep tone: "This is just someone taking the opportunity to make things worse."

"In that case, Guo Mo may have also escaped?"

"Don't worry, he can't escape. Guo Mo is a member of the army. He is an ordinary and meticulous worker. How can he infiltrate into the army and inform him?"

Sure enough, Master Sima brought Guo Mo back in the evening.

Guo Mo didn't seem to realize what was happening. This was the second time he saw Sima Yi.

The first time was when he first came to Wei State, he told the then Wei Xing prefect that Meng Da wanted to rebel. After Sima Yi learned about it, he summoned him in person.
