Baling County is not far from Chang'an Imperial City. Although Liu Xie gave three days, in fact, from Fang Sheng taking Niu Dan out of the city to investigating the case in Baling County, then subduing Sima Qing and then returning, it was only two days in total. During the morning court the next day, Fang Sheng had already taken Sima Qing outside the Weiyang Palace and waited for the summons.

"General Fang, Your Majesty is invited." Wei Zhong trotted to Fang Sheng, glanced at Niu Dan on the side and said, "This Niu Zhuang Man, please go to the palace with you."

"I'm working hard." Fang Sheng nodded and personally escorted Sima Qing to walk into the hall step by step. Liu Xie and a group of ministers were already waiting in the Weiyang Palace.

"Is this Sima Qing?" Liu Xie looked at the young man who was taken to the hall by Fang Sheng, and Liu Xie smiled and said, "It's a handsome talent."

Just talking about appearance, Sima Qing is much more pleasing than Niudan. His elegant temperament can easily make people feel good, but it is just a good look. After Liu Xie checked the other party's abilities, he finally just curled his lips disdainfully. The eunuch Wei Zhong is better than you, a county magistrate, and he is a crush on all abilities.

"What Niu Dan said is true." Liu Xie sighed in his heart and turned his eyes back to Fang Sheng: "I said I will give you three days. In just two days, you will be escorting the person back. Could it be that you just caught the person?"

"Your Majesty clearly understands that it is not that I am lazy, but..." Fang Sheng turned his head and looked at Sima Qing. The disgust in his eyes was hard to hide. He bowed and said, "The cases this person committed in Baling County are really indefinitely numerous, and there is no need to investigate them carefully. Just those who investigated in Baling County, bullying women and forcing land to seize land, and those who have been evaluated and proved, there are dozens of cases. The matter of Niudan is really a drop in the ocean compared to what he did."

At this moment, Fang Sheng listed the things he found one by one. Just Fang Sheng found that Sima Qing had committed nearly a hundred cases of forced swallowing fields in Baling County since Dong Zhuo took over Chang'an, including dozens of lives killed, including some small families. As for bullying women, it is impossible to settle them. Within a hundred miles of Baling County, a slightly more beautiful woman who was attracted to him will never escape.

Liu Xie's expression gradually subsided, he looked at Sima Qing and said in a cold voice: "Sima Qing, what Fang Sheng said is the truth?"

Facing Liu Xie's gaze, Sima Qing felt a little panicked. He had seen the emperor, but he didn't know when the child in the past had such power.

Without answering Liu Xie's words, he knew very well that if he really calculated the things he had done, ten times would not be enough to die. He could only look at him in this court, his only reliance. At this moment, Sima Fang, whose face was pale and trembling all over his body, said wailingly: "Uncle, save me!"

"Shut up, you are such a evil deed!" Sima Fang trembled all over when he heard this. He looked up at Liu Xie, who had no expression on his face, and then looked at the clan member he had been quite optimistic about in the past. He pointed at Sima Qing and shouted angrily: "Look at the good things you did!"

"But uncle, I am the lieutenant of Baling County. I want something, why not?" Sima Qing looked at Sima Fang blankly. Until now, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

"I, Sima's family, have been loyal and kind for generations, and my brother is even more famous in China. How could I have a kind of evil like you?" Sima Fang said at the end, his face turned pale and a mouthful of blood spurted out as the screams of civil and military officials in the court. His expression became dark and he was about to fall to the ground. Ding Chong and others on the side quickly supported him.

Sima Qing was the son of Sima Fang's elder brother. His elder brother died early, leaving only such a single seedling, so he was favored by the Sima family. However, he developed a superficially obedient and lawless character. After thinking clearly about the causes and consequences, Sima Fang had an atmosphere and guilt, and all kinds of emotions surged up together, forming a depressed aura, which made him vomit blood in the court.

"Transfer to the Imperial Doctor Ji!" Seeing this, Liu Xie quickly stood up, shouted loudly at the outside of the hall, and walked down the steps quickly to Sima Fang.

"Sima's beloved, are you safe?" Liu Xie reached out to help Sima Fangshun and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, which leads to this evil in the clan. He is ashamed of the previous emperor, the Sima ancestor, and even more ashamed of my late brother. I have no face to face Your Majesty. Please ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to resign from his official position." Sima Fang stood up tremblingly with Ding Chong's support, bowed to Liu Xie, and said bitterly.

"This matter..." Liu Xie frowned and looked at Sima Qing with a confused look on his face, and shook his head, "It was my family matter, and I was not convenient to ask about it. But now that I have done such a big case, I cannot ignore it. I think this person has no good or evil in his heart. If it were other things, I would not be serious with my old friend, but this matter..."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, the Sima family has suffered this evil, which is really shameful for their ancestors. They should be sentenced according to the law. If this evil is let go because of the old minister, after returning to heaven, the old ministers really don't know what face he has to meet our ancestors and ancestors of Sima." Sima Fang's voice became a little shrill at the end.

Looking at Sima Fang, who seemed to have grown a lot in an instant, Liu Xie patted Sima Fang's arm and shook his head and said, "This crime is so sinful. If this person is not killed, it is not enough to quell the public's anger. If it is not eliminated, it is not enough to redeem the country's prestige. However, this matter is not the intention of Sima's beloved. There is no need to mention the resignation of the official position. I just took power and need Sima's beloved and all the ministers to help me manage the country and the country. If my beloved and leave me alone, wouldn't my Han Dynasty lack a minister? How could I lose a minister because of such a scum?"

"Your Majesty is kind, Sima Fang will be repaid if he dies!" Sima Fang heard this and burst into tears. He knelt on the ground, and bowed to Liu Xie with a tremolo in his voice.

"Okay, get up. The Imperial Doctor is here later. I will definitely ask the Imperial Doctor Ji to take good care of his beloved. Don't give me any root cause for this. That is definitely not a blessing for my great man." Liu Xie helped Sima Fang up and returned to the jade stairs.

His eyes fell on Sima Qing, who was panicked and shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no need for retrial in this case."

"No... you can't kill me, I'm a scholar!" Sima Qing shook his head in panic and stumbled to rush out. He could see that even his uncle who had always loved him was not going to help him this time. His biggest backer was gone, as if the whole world had abandoned him, which made him suddenly feel at a loss.

"Where is the palace lieutenant? Drag it down, exit the palace gate, and behead it for public display!" Liu Xie glared at Sima Qing in disgust and shouted sternly.
