Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan couldn't help but blush. Although they said they had a good personal relationship with Cao Liang, they still worked for Cao Liang. Isn't it a bit disrespectful to tease the boss like this?

Pei Xiu said calmly: "Is there any way? It's not that there is no way, but it's too difficult and I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle."

Cao Liang said angrily: "You can tell me whether it's easy to handle or not."

"Kill Master Sima or find a way to send him to the sky prison. In short, if you can mess up this marriage, your goal will be achieved." Pei Xiu's face flashed with a look of cruelty.

This strategy is indeed ruthless, but it is not easy to implement. People in the Sima family have always been people who plot against others. It must be very difficult to send assassins to assassinate Master Sima.

What's more, with Sima Shi's family background and status, if something unexpected happens to him, it will definitely cause an uproar in Luoyang City. Sima Yi will definitely retaliate crazily. He would rather kill by mistake than let him go. If Cao Liang wants to stay out of it, I'm afraid it will be difficult

It's impossible, and it's very likely to bring disaster to Chiyu and your loved ones.

If you want to punish Master Sima and send him to prison, the difficulty will probably be higher than assassinating him.

To punish him, we first need a reason, and we need to give him a crime. The so-called "no excuses for inflicting a crime" is just what the superiors say to the inferiors. If Cao Liang wants to bring down Sima Shi, he must

To have solid evidence, it must be as solid as a mountain of evidence.

In fact, the Sima family had the intention to rebel. Just raising dead soldiers was enough to kill the whole family.

But Sima Yi was very cautious in doing things, and would never let others take control easily. Even though Cao Liang knew that Sima's family kept dead soldiers, and even knew that these dead soldiers were hiding in Beimang Mountain, Beimang Mountain was so big.

For hundreds of miles, it is more difficult to find these dead soldiers than to reach the sky.

Without evidence, you will definitely not be able to bring a case against the Sima family, and you may even be slapped with a false accusation.

Before getting evidence, Cao Liang will definitely not take action easily.

In the end, after discussing for a long time, they could not come up with a more appropriate solution. Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan left, leaving only Cao Liang to return to the room and think hard.

You have promised me life and death, and I will never let you down in this life.

No matter what, Cao Liang could not just watch the beauty who fell in love with him fall, so he had to come up with a solution and must not let Yang Huiyu marry Master Sima.

If it were left to future generations, this would not be a problem at all. Even if you take away the bride at the wedding scene, you will only bear infamy at most, and you may not even get infamy. After all, true love comes first.

But in this era, the strict etiquette system made Cao Liang absolutely not dare to take any chances. If he tried to steal the bride in the wedding hall, he might have been cut into pieces by random knives before he could even walk out of the door of Sima's house.

What exactly can be done to disrupt this marriage?

Cao Liang lay awake all night, thinking about this problem all the time.

The plan to assassinate Sima Shi has been rejected by him. This plan is too unreliable, and the possibility of success is almost zero.

As for what Pei Xiu said about sending Master Sima to prison, Cao Liang was a little tempted.

Now it seems that this is probably the only feasible way, but the key point is what kind of crime can be fabricated for Sima Shiluo to send him in?

It is impossible to sway Master Sima with ordinary charges such as corruption and committing crimes. At least he has to think of ways to conspire and rebel. Unfortunately, Cao Liang cannot get a real hammer, so naturally he cannot punish Master Sima.

sin.

After thinking about it, Cao Liang suddenly had an idea. Didn't Master Sima kill his wife Xia Houhui? Why did the matter go unsolved in the end?

It stands to reason that Xia Houhui's status is not lowly. Even if he marries into the Sima family, he cannot be disposed of at will.

Xiahou Hui was the daughter of Xiahou Shang, the general who conquered the south, and the biological sister of Xiahou Xuan. The Xiahou clan, and the entire Wei Dynasty, were relatives of the emperor and a prominent family. Xiahou Hui's death was so mysterious, could the Xiahou family really be indifferent?

Although this is an old case, Xia Houhui died in the second year of Qinglong, which was the year Zhuge Liang died. It has been six years since now, but no matter what, this is also a handle for Sima Shi. If

If you make good use of it, you may get miraculous results.

Cao Liang was supposed to be on duty the next day, but he did not go to the palace. Instead, he asked someone to take a leave of absence, and dedicated time to find out about this old incident.

At the end of the day, Cao Liang really gained a little bit. Through various channels, he finally learned the whole story of this matter.

After Xiahou Hui died suddenly that year, the Sima family claimed that she had contracted leprosy, and she was hastily buried. Even the Xiahou family did not see her for the last time. Because Master Sima had a close relationship with her before, including the Xiahou family

No one, including everyone, doubted that Xia Houhui's death was caused by something strange.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world. The news of Xia Houhui being poisoned still spread in Luoyang City. Xia Houxuan also questioned Master Sima in court.

All my good gay friends fell out over this, but because there was no evidence, it was finally settled under the mediation of Emperor Ming Cao.

No one can tell whether the story of Xia Houhui being poisoned is true or false. It can only be regarded as an unsolved case.

Cao Liang learned that Xia Houxuan had always been resentful about this. Because of this incident, Xia Houxuan never had contact with Master Sima again, and they were strangers to each other from then on.

It seems that if you want to deal with Sima Shi, you have to use your brains on Xiahou Xuan. After all, it was Cao Cao who came forward to settle the matter. Now that Cao has collapsed, the person in charge of the court is General Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang is Xia Houxuan's uncle and brother, and the mother of Xia Houxuan and Xia Houhui's brother and sister, Deyang Township Princess, is Cao Shuang's biological aunt. With this relationship, there is still a chance to overturn Xia Houhui's case.

Of course, you have to convince Xia Houxuan first. As long as he is willing to stand up for his sister's matter, everything will be easy to handle.

Having made up his mind, Cao Liang immediately went to Xia Houxuan's residence and paid a visit to Xia Houxuan.

Due to his cousin relationship with Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan has just been promoted from the Yulin Supervisor to the City Gate Captain. He is also a core member of Cao Shuang's group and has considerable power. In addition, after the death of Xia Houxuan's father Xia Houshang, the title was passed to Xia Houxuan.

Come to inherit, the title of Marquis of Changling Township is higher than that of Cao Yan's Marquis of Gaolingting. At present, Xia Houxuan can be regarded as a figure in the Luoyang Dynasty.
