Chapter 26: Someone from the Ministry of Punishment(1/2)

 Looking at his son who was lying there who was extremely cold, Sima Zhong's eyes were frighteningly red, his fists were clenched tightly, his nails had already pierced his palms, and traces of blood flowed out, and he felt extremely sad in his heart.

, and also full of anger.

This is his only heir!

His eyes fell on the pale Nie Xiaoyun beside him. Sima Zhong suppressed his raging anger: "Tell me! What is going on? Who killed An'er!"

Nie Xiaoyun's delicate body trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to tell some lies, but under Sima Zhong's gaze, she couldn't help but tremble and tell her what happened last night.

Sima Zhong's eyes flashed fiercely, and he asked: "Can you see clearly what that person looks like?"

Nie Xiaoyun said: "Master, I didn't see that person clearly. I just saw a black shadow flashing in front of my eyes, and then I fell unconscious..."

"Check! Investigate me fiercely! No matter what the price is, I will find the murderer of An'er!"

Sima Zhong's roaring voice resounded throughout the Sima Mansion, causing all the servants in the Sima Mansion to tremble with fear.

After getting angry for a while, Sima Zhong's eyes fell on Nie Xiaoyun again: "Why did you appear in An'er's room last night?"

Nie Xiaoyun's face turned pale again, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

"Humph!"

Sima Zhong snorted heavily. A man and a woman were alone in the same room late at night. It didn't take much to think about what was going on.

"Come here! Drag this slut down to me and beat her to death with a stick!"

"Master! Spare your life! Spare your life!"

Nie Xiaoyun shouted for mercy, her pretty face full of fear.

Sima Zhong was unmoved and continued to let the two guards drag him down.

Seeing that his master was about to disappear from sight, Nie Xiaoyun finally remembered something, and while struggling, he quickly shouted to Sima Zhong: "Sir, I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant!"

"Stop!"

Sima Zhong immediately stopped the two guards and asked them to bring Nie Xiaoyun back to him.

"You said you were pregnant?"

Sima Zhong stared at Nie Xiaoyun with burning eyes.

Nie Xiaoyun shrank in fear, lowered his head and whispered: "Master, I haven't come to Tiankui for about a month."

Sima Zhong turned his head and told the housekeeper: "Go and find a doctor."

In almost two quarters of an hour, under the leadership of the housekeeper, an old man appeared in front of Sima Zhong.

Sima Zhong didn't have any unnecessary nonsense and directly asked the old doctor to take Nie Xiaoyun's pulse.

"How?"

Seeing the old doctor retracting his hand, Sima Zhong asked.

"Congratulations, sir. Although my wife's pulse is still very weak, it is indeed a happy pulse." The old doctor congratulated Sima Zhong.

Sima Zhong waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to give the old man a few taels of silver and send him away.

Nie Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, knowing that her life would most likely be saved.

Sima Zhong looked at her and asked, "Whose child is this?"

Nie Xiaoyun didn't dare to look at Sima Zhong, but he had to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and whisper: "I don't know whether I belong to the master or An'er..."

During that period, both Sima Zhong and his son were happy with her, and she was not sure whose child she was carrying.

"Humph!"

Sima Zhong snorted heavily again, making Nie Xiaoyun's body tremble a little more.

"Don't dwell on a word about today's matters, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Sima Zhong warned the servants in the mansion.

To be honest, regarding this, Sima Zhong was more or less relieved in his heart, because no matter who the child in the slut's belly belonged to, it was the son of the Sima family, which meant that the Sima family had not yet extinct offspring.

However, according to Sima Zhong's own guess, it is most likely that it belongs to his rebellious son.

In the past few years, he also wanted to have another child, but... no matter how hard he tried, his wife's stomach didn't respond at all. At that time, he knew that he could use it, but maybe it was already there.

Some features are missing.

......

Imperial Palace, Jinluan Hall.

The morning dynasty continued as before.

Emperor Yongxing of Dahua sat on the dragon throne and scanned the courtiers below with his majestic eyes.

When his eyes glanced at a certain position, he couldn't help but pause, because the place where people should be standing was now empty.

Emperor Yongxing frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he realized that someone was missing, so he asked Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites, "Yang Aiqing, why didn't Sima Zhong, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishments, come to court today?"

Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites, didn't know either, but when faced with His Majesty's inquiry, he had no choice but to answer, so he had no choice but to stand up. He couldn't help complaining to Sima Zhong. If something urgent happened, I don't need you to come and tell me in advance.

But at least send someone to explain the situation?

"Your Majesty!"

Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites, bowed to Emperor Yongxing, bowed and said: "I don't know why the doctor Sima Zhong did not come to attend the morning court today. The doctor Sima Zhong is usually very punctual. Maybe it was because of the encounter."

What's the emergency?"

"Humph!"

Emperor Yongxing snorted, obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"Go! Take a look at the reason." Emperor Yongxing ordered the eunuch Xu Lian standing aside.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The great eunuch Xu Lian withdrew from the Golden Palace.

Then, Emperor Yongxing looked at the courtiers below: "Okay, today's morning court has officially begun. Do you have anything to report to us?"

As a result, the courtiers who had already prepared their speeches came out one after another.

Just...

After a while, I discovered that the eunuch Xu Lian had returned. I'm afraid it hadn't even been a quarter of an hour, right?

Under the confused gazes of all the courtiers, the eunuch Xu Lian came to Emperor Yongxing and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Sima is already waiting outside the Jinluan Palace."

It turned out that when the eunuch Xu Lian was about to leave the palace to go to Sima Zhong's mansion to investigate the situation, she happened to bump into Sima Zhong entering the palace, so she returned the same way.

Emperor Yongxing said: "Announce his coming."

"Announce Lord Sima to enter the palace!"

The high eunuch's high-pitched voice rang in the Jinluan Palace.

......

"Your Majesty! Please make the decision for me!"

As soon as he entered the Jinluan Hall, Sima Zhong knelt down heavily towards Emperor Yongxing who was sitting on the dragon throne, and then kowtowed heavily. His voice was full of sadness, which made people feel touched.

Such a situation caused Emperor Yongxing's original anger towards him to stagnate, and he hurriedly said: "Sima Aiqing, get up quickly. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it first."

Sima Zhong was unmoved, still kneeling on the floor, and said with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, a thief broke into Wei Chen's home last night and brutally killed Wei Chen's son. Please make the decision for Wei Chen!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily to Emperor Yongxing again, making the sound of his forehead hitting the ground.

Wow!

Suddenly, the entire Jinluan Palace erupted in an uproar.

The son of a dignified doctor was murdered at home? This is simply a shocking thing!

Emperor Yongxing said in a deep voice: "Sima Aiqing, please get up first and then talk to me carefully. I promise to make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sima was grateful, and after kowtowing again, he finally got up.

After that, Sima Zhong told the whole story one by one. Of course, things like his wife and concubine Nie Xiaoyun were just mentioned briefly.

After hearing this, Emperor Yongxing was immediately furious, and his furious voice rang out in the Jinluan Hall.

"Not long ago, the prince was assassinated, and now my beloved son died tragically at home. Those thieves are simply extremely rampant. This simply shows that they have no regard for me or the laws of Dahua!"<

/p>

"Ling Le, I now order you to catch all these thieves within a month. If you can't catch them, you can come to me with your head in hand!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"

A middle-aged man wearing armor stepped out from the side. He was the commander of the Imperial Guard, Lingle.

At this time, Lingle felt so miserable that he couldn't express it.

Those thieves who assassinated the prince are not easy to deal with. This is not an ordinary thieves at all. He is very cunning and skillful, otherwise he would not have been caught until now.
