Xia Houxuan also rushed forward, knelt down in front of Cao Shuang with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Sima poisoned his sister-in-law six years ago. I beg the general to make the decision to punish the murderer for my sister-in-law's sake!"

Xia Houxuan firmly believed that Xia Houhui was poisoned by Master Sima. He even filed a complaint against him, but he couldn't produce any solid evidence. Naturally, Emperor Ming Cao couldn't pursue anything. Due to Sima Yi's face, the matter couldn't be settled in the end.

Let it go.

From the Sima family's point of view, Xia Houxuan's complaint in front of Cao Shuang this time is just a cliché and there is nothing new. Even if Cao Shuang is Xia Houxuan's cousin and cannot produce evidence, no one can punish Sima Shi.

.

Therefore, Master Sima didn't care about Xia Houxuan's accusation. He raised his hands and said to Cao Shuang: "General, I despise my position and have been wronged. I despise my position and have a deep love for my first wife. How can I harbor poisonous intentions? My first wife just died of an illness. Xia Houxuan ignored the facts and listened to his belief."

The villain has slandered and framed me several times for my humble position, but I am willing to ask the general to clear my wrongs for my humble position.”

Cao Shuang ignored Sima Shi's defense and said to Li Sheng: "It's difficult for me to decide the right and wrong at the moment. Li Tingwei, since you are in charge of prison matters, I will leave this case to you. I hope

You must handle matters fairly and do not engage in malpractice for personal gain."

"Wei!" Li Sheng respectfully accepted the order,

Master Sima frowned. If he couldn't see that this was a game at this time, then his IQ would indeed be off the line. Xia Houxuan and Cao Shuang are uncles and brothers. Xia Houxuan was having a big wedding today, and Cao Shuang came at the right time.

At that time, if I said that all this was just a coincidence, I'm afraid even the ghosts wouldn't believe it.

Master Sima just stepped forward to ask Cao Shuang to deal with Xia Houxuan. He just wanted to test it out and see what Cao Shuang wanted to do here. At this moment, Cao Shuang arranged for Li Sheng, the court lieutenant, to deal with the matter. He clearly wanted to overturn the old case of Xia Houhui six years ago.

.

Concerning this point, Master Sima was quite confident. The Xiahou family had been unyielding because of Xiahou Hui's death. However, Master Sima did a flawless job in this matter. The Xiahou family had no evidence, so how could they do anything to get him?

Things have changed, and Xiahou Hui's body has become cold. No matter how hard Xiahou Xuan tries, it will be of no avail. Master Sima doesn't believe that they can turn the world upside down.

However, after Li Sheng came forward, Master Sima still felt a little unhappy. Only then did he realize that he had made a fatal mistake before. If Tingwei was still Wang Ye now, it would be much easier for him to do it by himself. Now

The fact that Tingwei was replaced by Cao Shuang's men was obviously disadvantageous to him.

Master Sima couldn't help but deeply regretted it. He regretted that he should not have listened to his father's words, and his small impatience led to his big plans. As a result, Cao Liang was as active as a normal person, but he lost an important position and suffered heavy losses!

But even so, Master Sima was still calm and composed. So what if Li Sheng was a Tingwei? Is it possible that they could still defeat him?

You know, this is the residence of Sima Taifu. With his father Sima Yi sitting in charge, even if General Cao Shuang comes in person, who would dare to mess around without evidence?

Li Sheng pretended to glance at Master Sima and Xia Houxuan, and said to Xia Houxuan: "Xia Houxuan, since you are suing Master Sima for poisoning your sister, do you have any evidence?"

Xia Houxuan pointed to the coffin behind him with a look of grief and anger: "The evidence is in that coffin!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the golden nanmu coffin. I bet Xia Houxuan was not carrying the coffin to cause trouble today, but he was serious.

Master Sima felt a chill in his heart, and just now he felt that this golden nanmu coffin looked familiar. However, the scene was so chaotic that Master Sima didn't bother to examine it carefully. He just thought that most of the golden nanmu coffins looked the same, and this coffin was not that coffin.

Hearing Xia Houxuan's words at this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that the coffin in which Xia Houhui was buried was dug out by them?

Logically speaking, it is impossible. When burying Xiahou Hui, Master Sima adopted the trick of replacing flowers and trees to prevent accidents. He put the body of a maid into a coffin and buried it in the tomb with Xiahou Hui's tombstone.

Hui's body was buried in a mass grave without even a tombstone.

In order to prevent leaks, Sima Shi personally arranged the matter. There were only a few insiders, all of whom were his trusted confidants. Even the people who guarded the cemetery did not know the details. Sima Shi thought that he had done a flawless job.

.

But this golden nanmu coffin was placed in front of him so vividly. While Master Sima's expression changed drastically, he was also secretly thinking about which link was leaking?

Sima Yi's idea at the beginning was to simply destroy the body and eliminate any traces. At the same time as exchanging the package, Xia Houhui's body would be burned to the ground, leaving no trace behind.

But Master Sima couldn't bear it. Although he poisoned Xia Houhui with his own hands, it was still a last resort. After all, he loved Xia Houhui. A hundred years later, he still wanted to be buried with his beloved wife.

That's why Master Sima took great pains to design this package swap plan. He swore to Sima Yi that it was absolutely foolproof.

But the secrets eventually became sparse. Master Sima never expected that Xiahou Xuanhui would actually find Xiahou Hui's coffin and dig it out.

It seems that there is an expert's guidance behind Xia Houxuan, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to find Xia Houxuan based on his ability.

However, even if this is the case, so what?

There is just a coffin, and there is only one withered bone in the coffin. Who can prove that this withered bone is Xiahou Hui?

Master Sima sneered secretly, as long as you can't prove that these are Xia Houhui's remains, even if you find them, what can you do to me?

Li Shengmu glanced at the golden nanmu coffin expressionlessly and said in a deep voice: "Come here, open the coffin!"

The officers of Tingwei Mansion immediately pounced on him like a wolf and pried off the lid of the golden nanmu coffin.

Although the coffin lid is open, because the coffin body is relatively high, it is impossible to see the situation inside the coffin without getting closer.

"The coffin has been opened, please inspect it, Lord Tingwei!" the officer reported to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng walked slowly to the coffin with his hands behind his back, took a look, nodded slightly, and turned back to Master Sima: "Master Sima, what else do you have to say?"

Master Sima was unmoved and said with a smile: "What can a withered skeleton prove?"

Li Sheng sneered and said, "Just come closer and take a look before talking."

Master Sima also walked up to the coffin, lowered his head and took a look inside. He suddenly felt as if he had seen a ghost. His face was as pale as paper, without any trace of blood. His eyes were staring straight, full of fear and terror, and he was muttering to himself.
