"ah..."

"Bang..."

Sima Yi was startled when he heard the strange sound indeed coming from outside the house. He vaguely felt that something big had happened, so he jumped off the bed and rushed to the door with a sprint.

"Husband?" Zhang Chunhua looked confused.

"Shh..." Sima Yi turned around and put his finger to his mouth.

Sima Yi gently opened the door a crack, only to see a group of men in black holding swords and slashing at anyone they saw. Every time they opened a room, they heard several screams.

It was the middle of the night, and everyone in the house was asleep, so it didn't cause a huge panic.

Sima Yi could tell that these people were well-trained and were probably not some thieves. He didn't even know what trouble he had caused.

Sima Yi immediately closed the door gently and looked at Zhang Chunhua trying to calm down: "There are many assassins coming outside. The road to the front yard has been blocked. If you want to survive, you can only go through the back door. Quickly put on your clothes and find Shi'er. Zhao

Son..."

Zhang Chunhua was at a loss when she heard this. She asked tremblingly: "What about you?"

"I'll follow you." Sima Yi relied on his martial arts skills. He planned to go out to wake up the people around him and create a disturbance so that his family could escape.

Zhang Chunhua didn't wear much at all on a summer night, so he put on a thin shirt and ran to the window at the back of the house.

Sima Yi found his sword in the room, then pushed out the door with the sword.

"Come here, catch the assassin." Sima Yi shouted in the courtyard.

The men in black were startled when they heard this, and then chased him in his direction.

Everyone in Sima Yi's house was gradually woken up, and then they ran around noisily when they saw the assassin in black.

The main road leading to the front yard was guarded, and the panicked people had no choice but to flee to the back, because there was a low door at the very back of the house. If that didn't work, they could climb over the wall and get out. It was better than waiting to die in the house.

While escaping, Sima Yi exchanged a sword blow with someone, and the force that bounced back made the tiger's mouth numb.

At this moment, Sima Yi was so shocked that his back was covered with sweat. With such powerful martial arts and such close cooperation, how could he be an ordinary person?

Who is going to target the Sima family? Sima Yi was thinking while fleeing.

When he ran to the back door, he found Zhang Chunhua lying in a pool of blood. It turned out that the back door was also guarded by men in black, but Sima Zhao and Sima Shi were nowhere to be seen.

"Who wants to put my Sima family to death?" Sima Yi beat his chest and stamped his feet, filled with sadness.

The men in black slashed one at a time, and their killing techniques were very exquisite. Dozens of people in Sima's house were quickly killed.

The desperate Sima Yi was caught, and dozens of men in black clothes slowly approached the back door of the house.

Not long after, men in black came over surrounded by a strong man.

The little bosses reported the battle situation to him one after another. Sima Yi was frightened because they said that chickens and dogs would not be spared...

"Chief, Sima Yi is the only one left, shall I be executed directly?" asked the man in black who was controlling Sima Yi.

The strong man stared at Sima Yi and nodded gently. Sima Yi gritted his teeth and shouted ferociously: "Who are you? You killed my whole family so viciously. Can you let me know for sure?"

When the man in black saw that the leader was silent, he grabbed the rope that bound Sima Yi's hands and temporarily stopped executing him.

Seeing the familiar figure of the strong man, Sima Yi recalled the strange dream just now, and suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Xu Chu? Could it be you?"

Xu Chu was startled, then pulled down his black mask, looked at the other party and said coldly: "Sima Changshi is really amazing, but it's a pity that it ends here..."

"Really... aren't you sick? Why did you kill my whole family? What crime do I, Sima Yi, have?" Sima Yi cried heartbreakingly. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and then asked desperately: "Could it be the King of Wei?"

Want to kill me..."

"I got sick because of you. I have to say that Sima Changshi is very smart. Unfortunately, smart people don't live long. I want to correct it now. I am not killing your whole family, but the whole Sima clan..."

Xu Chuxin said it was clear that Sima Yi should die, and the other party burst into tears and leaned forward.

In such a sad situation, Sima Yi actually raised his foot and kicked him backwards, hitting the man in black in the lower body.

The moment the man in black covered his crotch in pain, Sima Yi jumped forward like a rabbit.

Because Sima Yi found a way to escape, the guards at the back door more than a dozen steps away had gathered around.

Due to the sudden incident, the swordsmen around Xu Chu were caught off guard.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Xu Chu grabbed a stone by his feet and threw it over. The stone was as big as a small watermelon and weighed about twenty kilograms.

"ah..."

Sima Yi just ran to the short door when the flying stone hit his vest accurately as if it had eyes.

The huge impact was like a cannonball. Sima Yi's spine seemed to be broken and his internal organs were violently shocked.

Unspeakable pain rose to his head, and Sima Yi fell to the door with blood spurting from his mouth.

The swordsman who was kicked in the crotch followed up and struck a blow, then clasped his fists and reported to Xu Chu: "He's dead."

Xu Chu nodded and then told everyone: "You must forget what happened tonight. Go back and burn your clothes overnight without leaving any traces. After some time, when Yecheng calms down a little, I will arrange for you to remove your armor and return to your hometown...

"

That night, more than a hundred of the five brothers Sima Yi, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, Sima Tong, and Sima Min were assassinated in Yecheng. On the same day, Sima Xun and Sima Jin were murdered in Xudu, and Sima Bada disappeared into thin air.

At noon the next day, the murder of the Sima family in Yecheng shocked the government and the public, and all the gentry children who were close to Cao Pi were in danger.

Cao Pi encountered the biggest crisis since he took the throne. On the one hand, he ordered people to strengthen the defense of the palace. On the other hand, he sent Cao Hong to blockade Yecheng, dispatched the city defense army to hunt down the perpetrators, re-appointed the deposed Zhong Yao as Dali, and tried his best to investigate the cause of the massacre of the Sima family.

.

Just half a day later, Cao Hong came to the palace to report to Cao Pi.

At this time, the Wei palace was brightly lit, and Cao Pi had no intention of resting.

Seeing Cao Hong return, Cao Pi frowned and asked, "Uncle Zilian came so quickly. Could it be that the murderer has been caught?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, although the murderer has not been captured yet, I found Sima Zhongda's two sons in the rice vat in Sima Mansion." Cao Hong answered with clasped fists.

Cao Pi quickly asked: "Can they see the appearance of the murderer?"

Cao Hong shook his head and said: "Master Sima, Sima Zhao was hidden in the kitchen by his mother because he was young, so he doesn't know what happened outside..."

"Where are they?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look at these things first." Cao Hong handed a stack of letters from his arms to Cao Pi's desk, which he considered to be 'strong physical evidence'.

Cao Pi was full of doubts and opened the letters one by one to examine them.

The more Cao Pi watched, the more frightened he became, then he swallowed his saliva and ordered: "Uncle Lian, please send orders to me outside the palace and summon civil and military officials to see me overnight."

"Wei." Cao Hong clasped his fists and retreated.

Half an hour later, Jia Xu, Hua Xin, Chen Qun, Wang Lang, Zhong Yao and other important officials all arrived.

Cao Pi spread the letters obtained by Cao Hong on the table and asked his officials to identify the authenticity.

"Sima Yi colluded with Guan Yu to frame Governor Lu? No wonder Xiangyang was destroyed so easily..."

"Sima Yi failed to dissuade the late king and instigated Hu Xiu, and Fu Fang surrendered to the enemy..."

"Sima Yi colluded with Lian Ji Miao and others to cause rebellion in Xudu, intending to lure Guan Yu north to seize the emperor..."

"Sima Yi and Sun Quan were secretly colluding, accepting huge bribes and not doing anything?"

"If Sun Quan fails to bribe him, he will send assassins to kill his entire family..."
