She heard someone crying in the crowd, and pointed to the direction of the crying: "Tie her up!"

The strong servant woman rushed over and grabbed one of Sima Yi's concubines.

"Keep your mouth shut. Anyone who dares to cry again will be beaten to death with a stick!"

Zhang Chunhua looked around everyone again, but no one dared to speak out again.

"The Hussars General is the auxiliary minister. Now he is highly valued by your majesty and leads the army. My son was just called by your majesty for questioning."

"Everything is fine in the house, the sky has not fallen, why are you crying?!"

Zhang Chunhua said sternly, "As long as His Majesty does not issue an order for a day, Sima's Mansion will still be the General's Mansion of the Hussars."

"From today on, everything in the house will remain as usual except that we will no longer welcome guests. If anyone dares to disturb the people of the house again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhang Chunhua gave him a lecture and then ordered people to inspect the house more intensively.

Finally, he called his son Sima Zhao, as well as his daughter-in-law, granddaughter, etc. to comfort them one by one.

The house is temporarily stable, but the investigation of "flashy cliques" outside is getting louder and louder.

Not only were those young scholars who liked to socialize with each other were investigated, but Cao Rui also hired Sima Zhi, who was dismissed from office because he offended too many powerful people because of his impartiality in law enforcement.

Let him crack down on lawlessness in Luoyang and implement the new laws enacted last year.

For a time, the members of the Flamboyant Party, who law enforcement officers did not dare to offend in the past, no longer dared to allow their slaves to violate the law, and even they themselves did not dare to show their faces again.

Luoyang's atmosphere has become pure. Not only are many of the Cao Wei elders who hold real power in the court satisfied, but also the people of Luoyang are applauded and praised.

At the same time, the newly enacted laws were no longer blocked and were implemented smoothly.

Master Sima, who was brought into the palace for questioning, was locked in a quiet room for several days, and the chamberlain sent him a message, asking him to reflect here.

It wasn't until the storm outside began to subside that the first person came to see him.

The person who came was none other than Dong Zhao, who took the lead and advised Cao Rui to investigate the "flashy clique".

"I've met Dong Weiwei."

Master Sima, who had not been washed for several days, was a bit unkempt. When he saw Dong Zhao, he quickly got up and saluted.

Although Dong Zhao was acting as a Situ, his real official position was Weiwei, so Sima Shi was called this.

Dong Zhao helped Sima Shi up and said in a friendly tone: "General Hussar and I were officials in the same dynasty, and we also experienced three dynasties together."

"We keep in touch a lot, just call me Shibo."

Master Sima has been under house arrest these days and has not received any news from the outside. He is panicking. How can he dare to accept this when he hears this?

"Sit down first and then talk."

Seeing his appearance, Dong Zhao had to comfort him and sit down first.

Then he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Master Sima took it and saw the familiar font on the envelope, and finally couldn't control his emotions.

His lips were trembling, and he asked in a trembling voice: "May I ask Mr. Dong, if my master is still well?"

When Dong Zhao heard Sima Shi's question, he nodded approvingly.

Under such circumstances, Sima Ziyuan asked this question, which shows that his heart is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Because as long as Sima Zhongda is still the hussar general, then Sima Ziyuan himself will be fine.

"The flashy cronies your Majesty is investigating this time are all young hypocrites. The Hussars General is a veteran minister in the court and an auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor. What does this matter have to do with him? So of course everything is fine.

"

When Master Sima heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As if all the strength in his body had been drained, he slumped to the ground.

"My good nephew is still young, and it is understandable that he mistakenly associates with bad people. Your Majesty allows you to reflect in a quiet room for your own good."

Dong Zhao consoled him.

"Yes, yes, Master understands."

Master Sima hurriedly said, "After this incident, Master will definitely draw a clear line between himself and those flashy people and never interact with us again."

"That's good, that's good."

Dong Zhao nodded repeatedly, "It seems that my nephew has really reflected on these days. I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow and let you return home."

"Thank you Mr. Dong."

"I said, I have a good relationship with the General Hussar, just call me Shibo."

Dong Zhao looked at Master Sima and said something meaningful.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Master Sima understood immediately.

"After you return home, please remember what you said today and never interact with those flashy cronies again."

Dong Zhao finally lowered his voice and reminded in the voice of only two people, "Even if they are in-laws, it is not allowed."

Master Sima trembled and looked at Dong Zhao in disbelief.

Dong Zhao's eyes were cold and deep.

Master Sima moved his lips, and finally responded: "My nephew, I understand."

Dong Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "Only in this way can we ensure that you will not be implicated."

Then he turned around and walked out.

Master Sima was once again alone in the quiet room.

He sat there blankly, thinking of Xia Houhui who had given birth to five daughters for him, with a look of pain on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyes fell on the letter he had been holding in his hand, and a look of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.

His hands were trembling and he tore open the seal in a panic, and unfolded the letter with trembling hands.

With just a glance, Master Sima's eyes once again turned from hope to despair.

There was only one line in the letter: Listen to Dong Weiwei's instructions.

"No, it's impossible..."

Master Sima murmured to himself, as if he didn't believe it, but also seemed to refuse to believe it.

However, recalling what the adults said to him in the past, Sima Shi found that the adults seemed to have known that such a day would come.

So, is all this actually arranged?

Recalling the last words Dong Zhao said before leaving, Master Sima suddenly shuddered again.

Could it be that His Majesty's hatred for Xia Houxuan has reached this point?

Thinking of this possibility, Master Sima began to show hesitation on his face.

Then she thought of her reaction when Xia Houhui overheard her mistake.

There are also letters from adults that she knows.
