From the time Sima Xin took the first step, he expected that he might have today.

Although he had expected that he might have today, it was just a maybe, and it didn't mean that he really wanted to die or was really ready to die.

Life is precious!

Therefore, on the night of July 20, when he learned that Prime Minister Li Si, General Meng Tian, and State Lieutenant Wei Yu had been assassinated at the same time, Sima Xin, who had been terrified since receiving the news from Xiang Liang that Hu Hai had successfully returned from becoming a martial artist, immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for him. Not only can you take the opportunity to get out, but at the same time, you can also add fuel to the fire and stir up the muddy water of Xianyang even more, which is to kill two birds with one stone.

So, Sima Xin immediately summoned the disciples of the three sects and nine streams who were raised in his mansion, and gave them a lot of money, so that they could attack and kill the soldiers of the South Gate Guard who had seen the token of Sima Mansion, and at the same time set fire to the houses, making Xianyang even more chaotic.

Things went as he thought, and everything went very smoothly. It's just that Sima Xin would never know, because Hu Hai was assassinated in the palace, and he first ordered Wang Qian to lead the elite soldiers of the Bashang battalion to seal all the key roads in Xianyang.

When the disciples of Sima Mansion, who succeeded in attacking and killing the south gate guards, were ecstatic and discussing with each other where to go with a large number of goods and goods presented by Sima Xin, they ran into the elite soldiers of the Bashang battalion who had already blocked all the main roads near Xianyang.

In a few breaths, in the face of the extremely sharp Qin army's strong crossbow, a group of people surrendered one after another. As a result, more than 20 corpses filled with crossbow arrows like hedgehogs lay on the ground.

Immediately after the situation changed, Li Si died that night. And after the doormen who attacked and killed the South Gate Guard Station escaped from Xianyang, there was no news of it, and after Sima Xin even called Heaven to help me, a heart that had always been carried finally settled.

Time passed day by day, until after Li Si's funeral, the emperor issued a series of edicts one after another, without mentioning anything about going north. Sima Xin once thought that he was nervous.

He didn't know that none of the disciples he sent to attack and kill the South Gate Guard had escaped. Except for more than a dozen dead in the South Gate Guard, the rest who did not die were either shot and killed by Wang Gan's soldiers or captured alive.

The main reason why Hu Hai has not moved for so long is because he has no time.

Lees's letter reminded him that history had changed. In addition, the messenger he sent to South Vietnam to announce the edict and the dead soldiers of Heibing Platform have not come to this day, which confirms Hu Hai's previous speculation.

In the original history, Zhao Tuo did not lend a helping hand to Daqin in the twilight West Mountain, and now Ziying is likely to be picked up by Zhao Tuo of South Vietnam from the sea and land, and what he did is obviously for the throne of the world.

Regardless of whether Ziying was a puppet or really hooked up with Zhao Tuo a long time ago, he should have prepared early, so after Li Si's death, Hu Hai immediately implemented a series of reforms and policies.

Most of the food and cultivation goods received by the private slaves who were pardoned as commoners were actually extorted by Hu Hai from the hands of many nobles from various families and nobles in Guanzhong. Although Hu Hai exchanged with them. However, it is clear that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Now, everything has been carried out according to Hu Hai's intentions step by step, and the necessary arrangements will be made for the chaos in the whole world. The matter of internal annihilation has naturally become a matter that needs to be solved urgently. Otherwise, all Hu Hai's actions would be in Xiang Liang and the others without the slightest secret.

Sima Xin's self-conscious things were hidden, but under a series of accidents, they were finally exposed in front of people.

Looking at Ying Yi who strode into the study, Sima Xin, who was paralyzed on the ground, looked miserable.

He already knew what was going on in the house by now. Apparently Long Wei was arresting everywhere. Although as the head of the emperor's study, he rarely followed Hu Hai, but he also knew that Long Wei directly obeyed the emperor's orders, except for the emperor, even if he was the commander of Long Wei, Ying Yi could not be transferred at will.

Today, Long Wei dared to suddenly break into the mansion of him, an important minister in the court, in broad daylight. If there is no conclusive evidence, if there is no emperor's edict, no matter how arrogant Long Wei is, he will not dare to do so.

It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. And when the joy in his heart that he thought he had escaped had not dissipated, everything he had done was exposed as it was, looking at Sima Xin, who was paralyzed on the ground with a pale face, a trace of disdain flashed on his face. is so unbearable and vainly trying to kill His Majesty, isn't it looking for death?

"Take it!" Win Yi retracted his gaze and said coldly.

Several dragon guards pounced on him, and after carefully searching Sima Xin inside and out, up and down, including his mouth, he tied Sima Xin up and carried him away.

The entire Sima Mansion has been in a mess.

Nearly a thousand dragon guards surrounded the entire mansion, and the remaining hundreds of dragon guards entered the mansion to arrest people.

In less than a moment, all the people up and down the Sima Mansion, both old and young, were taken to Xianyang Prison in a prisoner car.

The Sima family is also a family of nobles of Great Qin and belongs to the old Qin family. The ancestor was once out of the Xiangguo of Qin. After Sima Xin served as the chief of the emperor's study, the Sima family was even more powerful, although it was not as prominent as the Li family, the Meng family, the Feng family, and the Wang family, but it was also not to be underestimated.

The people who can live in the south of Xianyang City are all families with heads and faces in Xianyang. Today, Sima's house was suddenly surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and then the gate of the mansion was broken. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After a while, more than 300 members of the Sima family, including Sima Xin, including the elderly, weak, women and children, were escorted out by Long Wei. And all the men, including the head of the family, Sima Xin, were tied up strongly.

Everyone had already recognized that it was the emperor who controlled the dragon guard who arrested and broke the door. And it was also the emperor's side, the red leader of Long Wei, who personally led Long Wei to arrest people, don't think about it, it must be Sima Xin who angered the emperor for some reason, and this is to blame him.

It's just that the emperor is not a murderous person, if it is only Sima Xin who angers the emperor, even if he is convicted, it will only be Sima Xin alone. But now Long Wei's posture is obviously to detain the Sima family.

Is this to punish the whole clan?

All the nobles of the family who discovered this scene were secretly thinking about what Sima Xin had done in their hearts. There are people who are good friends with the Sima family, and they are already thinking about how to break off relations with the Sima family as soon as possible.

Long Wei's movements were not concealed in the slightest, so the experience of the emperor's study head Shi Sima Xin and his family immediately spread all over Xianyang. For a while, hundreds of people in Xianyang talked about it, but no one blamed the emperor, but they were all speculating about what Sima Xin had done.

The human heart, at this moment, is already self-evident.

This is the 13th day of August in the first year of Great Qin II.

Xianyang Palace Council Hall.

Hu Hai, with a gloomy face, sat on top of the main hall. Under the main hall, Meng Tian, Feng Quji, Wei Yi, Li You, Ying Teng, Zhang Han, Yao Jia and other three princes and nine kings all gathered.

All of them were rushed by a sudden edict. The moment they arrived at this hall, everyone naturally noticed the emperor's iron-blue face, but everyone didn't know what was going on.

For more than half an hour, Hu Hai sat quietly on top of the main hall and never said a word. His Royal Highness's inexplicable ministers naturally didn't dare to ask. A crowd of people waited in the dead hall.

"Your Majesty! Win a big man arrives! Long Xuan's voice sounded at the door of the main hall, breaking the almost suffocating silence of the upper and lower halls.

"Coming? Declare! Hu Hai, who had not moved, heard Long Xuan's words, his face was slightly relaxed, and he said lightly.

A moment later.

"Your Majesty!" Win a big stride into the main hall.

"What about people?"

Hearing the emperor's words, the eyes of Meng Tian and the others exchanged rapidly, obviously the emperor was waiting for someone to come.

"Back to Your Majesty, you are waiting outside the palace!"

"Bring it in!"

"Whoa!"

Three footsteps appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Sima Xin, who was dressed in a small coat and had a pale complexion, appeared in front of everyone under the close protection of the two sturdy dragon guards.

The ropes on Sima Xin's body had been untied at this moment, and he was not tortured by Win Yi. Win Yi took him directly to Xianyang Palace.

Seeing Sima Xin, the ministers above the main hall were suddenly shocked.

Is the emperor waiting for the long history Sima Xin? What did Sima Xin do?

Among the ministers, the most surprising was Zhang Han.

At this moment, everyone could see that the emperor was going to do Sima Xin. It's just that no one understands where Sima Xin made any mistakes. Only Zhang Han knows that if the Sima family has offended His Majesty, then there is only one thing, and that is Sima Xin's youngest son, Sima Dan.

Sima Shan is the young son who ridiculed Hu Hai as a "pariah" at the gate of the red and green family when Zhang Han took Hu Hai to the red and green family state for the first time.

Could it be that after so long, Your Majesty wants to settle accounts after the autumn? Zhang Han's face was cloudy and uncertain.

"The criminal minister Sima Xin sees Your Majesty!"

Under the close protection of the two sturdy dragon guards, Sima Xin slowly knelt on the ground and hissed.

Looking at Sima Xin, whose face was pale, a few cold rays flashed in Hu Hai's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that it was postponed, Hu Hai never thought that such a thing as Infernal Affairs would happen to him, and the protagonist was still the head of his study.

In the main hall, there was a terrible silence for a long time.

"Sima Changshi, what are you guilty of? I and you are very curious. Hu Haiqi said as he walked slowly down the hall, waved his hand to let the two dragon guards who were guarding Sima Xin's side retreat, and stood in front of Sima Xin and said lightly.

"It is not a pity for the guilty to die. However, this matter was done by the subordinates alone, and please ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of the rest of my Sima family in the face of the ancestors and ancestors who have been loyal to Great Qin for hundreds of years. In the next life, the sinner will tie the grass and tie the ring to repay His Majesty's grace! ”

Sima Xing kowtowed to Hu Hai who was standing in front of him, and sobbed.
