After dawn, the news of the assassination of the emperor spread wildly, and people ran around and told each other that it had spread throughout Chang'an City in just half an hour. No one except the deaf and mute did not know about this.

The emperor was assassinated and died, which was a big deal that the sky fell, so it was not surprising that this news spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant.

Of course, there are Sima Zhao's people who are adding fuel to the fire. According to Jia Chong's plan, such a major matter will definitely not be kept in the paper, and it will definitely not be concealed by others. Even if it can be concealed for a while, it will not be concealed for a day. If Sima Zhao deliberately blocks the news, it will easily cause others to suspicion, so that the matter can be spread and confuse the public. In this way, Sima Zhao can still occupy a dominant position.

The entire Chang'an City fell into chaos, and everyone was talking about it, discussing the assassination of the emperor. In addition, the imperial guards closed the city gates and searched the city from door to door, which made Chang'an City uneasy and panic.

Assassination of the emperor is a first-class serious crime. If it is found to be related to the assassin, it will be the one who will be killed. At this time, the city has long been spread. The murderer of the assassination of the emperor is Cheng Ji, the prince's wife. It has been confirmed that he is a spy in the court of Cao Liang. Jia Chong has led people to capture Cheng Ji's family. Dozens of people from the Cheng family, including Cheng Ji's brother Cheng Ye, were all thrown into the heavenly prison. Even some officials who had had close contact with Cheng Ji were affected.

The large-scale search carried out by Jia Chong led his troops has spread to the entire Chang'an City, which has caused everyone to be in danger. If Cheng Ji is a spy sent by Cao Liang, then among these officials in the court, there are really many people who have collusions and contacts with the Bingzhou Army. Although they have nothing to do with Cheng Ji, in order to muddle the water, Jia Chong will first arrest him if he finds a trace of clues and torture him for confession indiscriminately.

Many people cannot withstand torture and will confess randomly. Jia Chong followed the clues and caught one batch after another, most of them were wronged, but there were also officials who had defected to the Bingzhou Army. Jia Chong examined many spies and was even more excited. After digging deeper, more people were sent to prison, and the entire prison was already overcrowded.

Jia Chong is probably better than anyone else to know whether Cheng Ji was a spy from the Bingzhou Army. However, in order to clear Sima Zhao of the charge of regicide, Jia Chong first fooled Cheng Ji to plead guilty, and then caught a large number of suspected suspects of collusion with the enemy. After "interrogation", a network of spies that were plotting to assassinate the emperor had already surfaced. There were organizers and correspondents, and Cheng Ji was just a perpetrator of assassination. In order to assassinate the emperor, they even made preparations for several months. There were hundreds of participants, and the organization was strict and detailed, which was outrageous.

Under the appointment of Sima Zhao, Situ He Zeng, Taiwei Xun Ying, Sikong Zheng Chong, Tingwei Zhong Yu and others participated in the trial of the assassination case of the emperor. At the same time, these people were also members of the emperor's funeral meeting and dealt with the affairs behind Cao Mao.

Even if the capital is moved to Chang'an, the worst emperor is still the emperor. When the emperor dies, he will naturally be buried with the emperor's rituals. The process of etiquette is still indispensable.

Jia Chong had already turned the Cheng Ji case into an iron case. He Zeng Zhongyu and others participated in the trial, which was just a formality. Moreover, Cheng Ji had confessed and many relevant evidence was as strong as a mountain of evidence, so the case was closed soon. Under Sima Zhao's instruction, that night, Cheng Ji Cheng and more than 100 relevant personnel who "participated in" the case were taken to the execution ground and executed overnight.

In order to prevent Cheng Ji from jumping to the wall when he was dying, Jia Chong shouted out the truth. When he was executed, he ordered people to cut Cheng Ji's tongue and stuffed a cloth strip into his mouth. He was escorted to the execution ground with a wide variety of tied things.

The execution ground was outside the Meridian Gate. Cheng Ji realized that he had been plotted by Jia Chong. Originally, Jia Chong was not prepared to let him live at all. The reason why he was asked to admit that it was an assassin sent by Cao Liang was just to relieve Sima Zhao of his crime.

Cheng Ji struggled desperately and glared at Jia Chong, but at this moment his tongue was cut off and his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth. He could only make a whimpering sound, and he couldn't shout a word.

Jia Chong stood on the stage with expressionless expression and ordered the executioner to escort Cheng Ji and his men, and then the executioner raised his sword and cut off the heads one by one.

No one cares whether Cheng Ji and others were wronged. With the fall of these heads, the assassination case of the emperor came to an end, and everything was concluded.

At the same time, if Sima Zhao set out to go home, what he had to face would be Sima Shi's question.

Although Sima Zhao was calm in Chang'an City for a whole day, he felt relaxed and felt free, but when he thought of going to face Sima Shi, his head became louder and his mood became uneasy.

It is true that Sima Zhao was blind, but his heart was like a mirror. Sima Zhao could hide it from others, but it was difficult to hide it from Sima Shi. In the early morning, Sima Zhao specially changed to the guards of Sima Mansion, hoping to get the news as late as possible.

But everyone in Chang'an City knew about the assassination of the emperor, how could they hide it from Sima Shi? So after Sima Shi heard the news, he was very angry and immediately sent a priest Sima Zhao to see him.

Sima Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see Sima Shi.

After returning to the mansion, Sima Zhao saw Sima Shi standing in front of the window, carrying his hands on his back, his face turned pale. He bowed carefully and said, "Brother——"

Sima Shi turned around, waved everyone around him, and then said to Sima Zhao in a deep voice: "Sir, there are no outsiders here. What I want to hear is the truth and the truth. Let's talk about it, what's going on?"

Sima Zhao had already arranged a set of rhetoric on the road, but when facing Sima Shi, he suddenly became speechless and couldn't say a word. Although Sima Shi was blind, the pressure from his body made Sima Zhao breathless.

Sima Shi is Sima Yi's eldest son and has a very high status in the Sima family. Although Sima Zhao is only a few years away from him, he was very afraid of Sima Shi since he was a child and even formed a shadow in his heart. As long as he is Sima Shi, Sima Zhao never dared to disobey anything. He always lives under the light of Sima Shi.
