At this time, Cui You was busy wrapping up the war to appease the place. Ling Budo couldn't wait to return to the court with the army, so he returned to the capital with the Wancheng family two days ahead of schedule. On the way, Shaoshang got into the carriage and humbly asked her stubborn brother.

"Why is it that every time I mention Lou's family, Master Ling's nose is not nose and eyes, not eyes? Once!"

"What's so strange." Cheng Shaogong raised his eyelids indifferently.

"Because the heaven knows that you know me and I know Ling Busu, he knows even more, if there is no His Majesty, there is no He family, and there are no other ties, put him and Lou Yao on the food table, Which one would you choose to talk about?"

Shao Shang was silent, and then struggled for a while: "This is not entirely true, in fact, I like Master Ling very much now."

Cheng Shaogong yawned: "You should tell him this, maybe he will let it go."

Back to the capital, the rest went back to their respective homes—including Wan Songbai, who originally wanted to file a grievance, but now the focus was no longer on himself, Ling Budo and Shaoshang went to see the emperor separately. The emperor was calling several Confucian scholars to inquire about the manuscript collection at this time. Seeing the solemn expression on the adopted son's face, he planned to withdraw everyone in the hall, but Ling Budo stopped Yuan Shen.

"I'm afraid Yuan Shizhong will help you in this matter." Ling said without doubt.

Yuan Shen's expression froze, and he bowed.

At this time, the emperor had already imprisoned Huang Wen, but no matter how he interrogated, Huang Wen only said that a junior brother he trusted very much told him Wan Songbai's 'crime', and the The younger brother has disappeared. However, in the emperor's mind, this matter only stopped at the level of "the vassal officials were repeatedly stabbed, and there must be hidden feelings under them". It was not until after listening to the detailed statement of the adopted son and the step-by-step deduction that he knew what happened in the Tongniu County case. It is an unimaginable wave of turbulence, with bursts of murderous intent.

"Sir Ling's words are very true, and the deductions are also very close, but..." Yuan Shen suddenly interjected, "There is still no iron evidence to directly prove what Lou Ben did. , said that Lou Ben only met Yan Zhong privately, but it had nothing to do with the secret collusion between Yan Zhong and Ma Rong, and it is not unacceptable." - Lou Ben acted neatly, and indeed did not leave any direct clues.

Ling Budo replied: "Yuan Shizhong is right, this minister does not dare to be special, for fear of wronging Lou Ziwei, so far, I have never confided a little bit to others. Now the minister only asks Your Majesty, Do you want to keep checking?"

Yuan Shen was silent, he knew that Ling Budo's words implied that 'as long as he investigates, he will definitely find evidence, if the emperor wants to make peace with mud, then this matter will end here' .

The emperor's face was ashen, and his posture was as if the ink splashed on the snow-white silk had solidified. He thought of Yan Zhong's stubborn but eager face, of the honest and loyal appearance of Mr. Lou over the decades, and of the queen and the prince-they didn't do anything wrong, but they were destined to be implicated.

After a long time, the emperor said solemnly: "The law of heaven is clear, and justice is self-sufficient. Check it out, check it out!"

Ling Budo bowed to take orders, and then fixedly looked at Yuan Shen. Yuan Shen knew that there was no way to hide, so he also faced each other dignifiedly.

From the Shangshu Terrace, Ling Budo went straight to the Changqiu Palace, but found that the young merchant was not there. The queen first looked at her adopted son with concern, and then smiled: "The boy of Shaoshang didn't say anything, he just told me to leave for two days. Also, she has been out for a while, and the family should be worried, so she called me. Let her rest at home for a few days, don't be vicious all day like a jailer."

"She really didn't say anything to the empress?" Ling Budo couldn't believe it, he knew how much the girl admired and trusted the queen.

The queen thought for a while and said, "She just said, even if something happens, the prince and I don't have to worry about it. With you here, we can always take care of everything properly."

Ling Budo's face is not obvious, but his heart is really ironed. He originally thought that the girl would reveal the matter to the queen and crown prince in advance, and he was worried that the leak would cause things to change.

For the next two days, Ling Budo and Yuan Shen rushed in and out to finalize Lou Ben's crime. Communication, only say what should be said, only listen to what should be heard.

Two days later, Cui You's army finally returned to the court. Due to the small scale of this battle against rebellion, the victory was considered smooth. In addition, the emperor was in a complicated mood at this time, so he did not hold a grand triumphal ceremony, and the ministers did not care about these falsehoods. Rewards for meritorious deeds, the children of each family will sit in a row under the allocation of Daddy Cui.

—At this time, Ling Budo and Yuan Shen finally found irrefutable evidence enough to convict Lou Ben.

Ling Budo said goodbye to the trembling emperor, holding the decree and killing the Lou's house. Yuan Shen, who was beside him, was also ordered as a deputy and went together.

When they came to the building, they saw the lanterns inside and outside the building, the guests were laughing and drinking, and the laughter went straight to the alley. Only then did the two of them know that the Lou family had a banquet today. Yuan Shen was startled, and hesitantly said, "Why don't you and I come back in half a day..."

The corner of Ling Budo's mouth was sarcastic: "Could it be that you and I will offend Lou's family less if you take someone after half a day? Either stay out of it completely, or do it to the end."

Yuan Shen's expression darkened and he stopped speaking.

Lou Taipu heard that the emperor sent someone to come, and hurriedly led his children to greet him. Seeing the formation of Ling and Yuan, he immediately realized that it was not the emperor who came to reward him. Lou Ben was still very determined. Seeing the calamity was imminent, he actually looked as usual. He even smiled and asked Ling Yuan and the two to talk in the inner hall.

On the way to the inner hall, Lou Ben's wife Wang Yanji and several female dependents hurried over, Ling Budo glanced at the person behind Wang Yanji, frowned and said, "You have been in the past two or three days. Where have you been? I didn't have time to find you, so you came here backwards."

The young merchant said helplessly: "Today, the mansion held a banquet, and the second young lady invited my grandmother, oh, she's going to change her clothes now." She looked at the posture of her fiance's vermilion dress, He sighed, "So, have you still got the evidence?"

Wang Yanji Hua Rong paled: "...what, what evidence...Shaoshang, you, our two are..."

Ling Budo didn't want to be entangled outside, and said bluntly: "You guys come too."

When I came to the inner hall, Ling Budoubt said bluntly in front of everyone: "I think you already know why Yuan Shizhong and I are here, why don't you explain it to your family, then let me go Tingwei's mansion."

..." Even if she never paid attention to foreign affairs, she knew that Tingwei Mansion was not a place to drink and eat.

Shao Shang met Wang Yanji's intense and panicked eyes, and smiled bitterly: "To tell the truth, I don't know what's hidden in it." Then he asked Yuan Shenqi, "Why is Young Master Shanjian here?"

Yuan Shen let out a long sigh and continued to shut up.

Ling Budo said coldly: "Lou Ben colluded with Peng Ni general Ma Rong, tricked Tongniu County magistrate Yan Zhong to entrust his family and fine copper, and then slaughtered all of them, and then instructed Ma Rong to make money Tongniu County, and finally pretended to persuade Ma Rong Kaicheng to surrender - the two should cooperate with each other and make this three birds with one stone plan!"

Lou Taipu was shocked: "Where does this come from! How can this be..."

Mrs. Lou had a sullen face, staring at Lou Ben with both fierce and contemptuous eyes; Mrs. Lou Er had already threw herself on her daughter-in-law Wang Yanji and burst into tears.

"I'm still the old saying," Lou Ben said calmly, "If you want to convict me, you can't just make assumptions and come up with evidence!"

Ling Budoubt said: "I will go to the gate of the building today, just to do what you want."

Lou Ben twitched his face: "Everyone is listening."

"You are neat, and almost all the people involved were killed, even Ma Rong..."

"Oh, I killed even Ma Rong now?"

"You didn't want to kill Ma Rong, but since you can't kill Wan Songbai, you can only kill Ma Rong."

Lou Ben smiled coldly and declined to comment.

Ling Budoubt said: "I thought, if even the women of a mere clerk knew to leave some clues to prepare for the unexpected, wouldn't Ma Rong be unprepared at all. In the end, you too It's just a matter of mutual interest, so what's the point of trust, not to mention seeing the tragic death of Yan Zhonghe's family, who truly believed in you, I don't believe Ma Rong will be untouched! So I went to check Ma Rong's whereabouts - and found that he made money for himself After Tongniu County, he never returned home. He first guarded the county seat, then he was 'convinced' to surrender, and then he served under Cui Hou's account. If he wanted to hide something, where would he hide it?"

Shao Shang's mind flashed, and he blurted out: "Tongniu County?!"

Ling Budo glanced at the girl: "Yes, it is Tongniu County. There, Ma Rong not only stationed for nearly a month, but also walked around the streets every day, euphemistically called 'inspection' The people are suffering'."

Yuan Shen was fascinated, and couldn't help asking: "Where did you find 'those things' in the end."

Ling Budoubt said: "Ma Rong has traveled almost all over the county, if he really rummaged everywhere, maybe ten days and a half months would not be enough. But Ma Rong is just a martial artist, not so meticulous. I'm thinking..." He smiled and looked at Lou Ben, "There is a Niutoufang in the north of Tongniu County, and there is a wine shop named 'Muye'."

Shao Shang was still quietly imitating these words in the palm of his hand. Lou Taipu, Yuan Shen and others immediately figured it out, and their eyes salvoed towards Lou Ben—Niu Tau + Mu Ye = San Niu.

Lou Ben couldn't hold back his calm expression.

Ling Budo continued: "In that wine shop, my subordinates found drilling marks on the wall of one of the private rooms. The letters you have written to the magistrate of Yan these days—from your acquaintance, the meeting, inciting Yan Zhong to relocate his mother and child, and even to the appointed time and place... everything. I guess you asked Ma Rong to destroy these letters to Yan after entering the city. Loyal letter, who knows that he stayed."

Stop thinking about it, maybe when Ling Budo was tracking down Li Feng's wife, he probably also checked Ma Rong.

Lou Benqiang calmed himself: "Oh, I really wrote it, Zi Sheng must have read it wrong."

Ling Budoubt said: "The letters did not specify the name, only a small diamond mirror was drawn at the sign."

Wang Yanji glanced at her husband in confusion.

"Because of this, I kept these letters secret." Ling Budo said, "However, I think of Yuan Shizhong. Your Majesty has repeatedly praised Yuan Shizhong's ability to practice ink in front of me. Can write a variety of calligraphy fonts - so I think Ziwei and Yuan Shizhong are not from the same family, if Yuan Shi has this talent, then Ziwei must not be too much."

"However, Master Ouyang has long traveled all over the world, and I don't know what year and month to find him. Besides, Master Ouyang is notoriously unruly and unruly, not to mention what his disciples wrote is himself. The handwriting is also lost as I write it, which is really hard for me..."

Yuan Shen twitched the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't matter, isn't it under the hood?"

Ling Budo smiled at him: "Although Yuan Shizhong is young, he is calm and composed, and the bamboo slips and silks given by His Majesty are kept in good order. I think that when Master Ouyang left When I go, will I also entrust the manuscripts with the manuscripts..."

Yuan Shenpi smiled but said, "The Master didn't entrust me with it. I was busy with myself. I collected all the books and tablets that the Master left everywhere, dried them and covered them with oilcloth for proper storage."

Shao Shang sensed deep pain from this tone.

"Yuan Shizhong and I searched the Yuan mansion for several days, and finally found the poems and poems that you wrote to your teacher and classmates before the age of twenty. I gave Yan Zhong the same handwriting in his letters! His Majesty still couldn't believe it. He also asked a number of calligraphers to taste it. They all said, "Although running script is different from old and young, it is indeed written by the same person." Lou Zi Wei, if the expert takes action, he will definitely not wrong you. Now, what else do you have to say?!" Ling Budo put one hand on the case, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, and his aura was threatening.

Lou Taipu sat on the ground tremblingly, Mrs. Lou Er covered her face and wept, but Mrs. Lou stepped forward and sneered: "I still think you have done great work outside. , I have been showing off my power at home these two days, but it turned out to be such a shameful deed! I said nephew, no talent is no talent, what's wrong with living your life like your cousin, why do you have to hurt people? Harm yourself, now you have committed a serious crime, don't want to implicate the whole family..."

Everyone was shocked. Mrs. Lou was knocked to the ground, supporting the floor with one hand and covering her face with the other. She was shocked and angry: "You...you dare...?!"

Wang Yanji pulled out the golden shackle from her hair, swiped it on the floor, and said viciously: "If you dare to say one more word, I will splatter your blood for five steps!"

Mrs. Lou was frightened by the sight. Everyone looked at it, and saw that the golden shawl was stuck between Mrs. Lou's fingers, and it was about to plunge into Mrs. Lou's palm.

Lou Taipu stood up and said, "Shut up and don't talk anymore."

Wang Yanji looked at her husband in a daze: "Is this...all true...?"

Lou Ben smiled sadly: "Yes, it's all true."

Wang Yanji burst into tears: "Why do you do such a thing! Can't you make a career for this!"

"For my father's grievances, for your future, for my own ambitions..." Lou Ben said, "At this point, I have no face to see you. You can go home in the future. , you're still young, it's not too late to remarry."

Wang Yanji hoarsely said: "Do you mean to kill me by saying such things now?! But don't worry, I will remarry, and I will never waste my life for you!"

Lou Ben smiled at his wife and turned his head: "Zisheng knows that everyone is looking forward to being born in a peaceful and prosperous world, and I am the only one who hates not being born decades earlier."

Ling Budoubt said: "In those days, when the tyrannical emperor was tyrannical, a group of heroes rose together, and the stars gathered, Ziwei, if you can meet the time, you can turn the world upside down, guide the country, and make a career. ."

Ling Budoubt said: "I know Ziwei's ambition in my heart. However, step by step, accumulating official rank, and gradually becoming the pillar of the country, it is not a thoroughfare."

Shao Shang originally wanted to say that her third uncle started as a county magistrate and was only promoted to the county magistrate this year, isn't it good?

Lou Ben smiled conceitedly: "I was born with this temperament, and I can't be subservient to others. Let me start as a servant and a small official, and spend all my ambitions in insincere compliments. In a painless deal, I would rather not step into the court for the rest of my life."

Shao Shang: The third uncle was shot in the basement. It turns out that the county magistrate is also a small official.

"So you slaughtered Yan Zhong's whole family as a stepping stone to promotion!" Ling Budo's tone gradually became severe.

You have to rely on something to convince people of me."

Lao Taipu pulled his nephew's sleeve tearfully: "Ziwei, why do you have to do this, our Lou family is not an unknown person, take your time... "

"Uncle, stop pretending." Lou Ben interrupted with a sneer, "Everyone says Lou Tai servant is honest and honest, but none of us in our family don't know about uncle's petty cares."

Lou too choked.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Zisheng. A few years ago, Zisheng recommended me in front of the East Palace." Lou Ben continued to Ling Budoubt, "I heard that Zisheng once told the prince. Yan-Lou Ziwei is a great talent who is a political director, and it is a pity to throw it in the scriptures and excerpts, and he should be given a chance to show his strength."

Ling Budo whispered, "I only see your talent, not your character."

Lou Ben said: "So, although I have never had a deep conversation with Zi Sheng, I have regarded Zi Sheng as a confidant in my heart."

Shao Shang thought to himself: The last county magistrate Yan who regarded you as his confidant has all died, so it seems better not to be your confidant.

"Unfortunately, His Royal Highness didn't listen to Zi Sheng. Does Zi Sheng know why?" Lou Ben said.

The little businessman was hooked.

Look, it takes a few more years of experience to get involved."

Lou Taipu sighed with regret: "...it's all mine, isn't it, I heard your aunt's..."

"Don't push it to the great aunt."

In fact, you secretly hope that your son will become famous. Unfortunately, several cousins ​​are all stupid. Back then, you had a dispute with your father, but later you were afraid that I would come forward and suppress your sons in the future, so I have been blocking my future. ,Is not it?!"

Lou Taipu's face was flushed red after being scolded, and his mouth was stunned: "You you...why are you spitting blood..."

, I have no way forward, and there are chasing troops behind me. Seeing that Junior Brother Yuan is only twenty-one years old this year, he already has a place in the Shangshutai, but I still don’t know where to go.”

"An eagle can't fly under a low eaves, and a Kunpeng can't swim in a shallow pond. I've been devoted to the center since I was young, but I don't want to fall to this point. Alas...time is also fate. ..." He turned around and smiled at his wife, "Ayan, it seems that I can't accompany you to the East China Sea to visit Penglai Wonderland..."

Ling Budo was shocked and said sharply: "Hold on!"

Lou Taipu and Lou Er's wife screamed, Wang Yanji rushed up like crazy, only to see that her husband's throat was bleeding, and he died of anger.

Three days later, the emperor first put Peng Zhen and other party members in prison, intending to choose good weather to execute them in the future, and at the same time reward them for their merits in the Shouchun War. Because Daddy Cui arranged it well, except for a few young heroes who really shined, the rest were basically 'distributing credit according to the severity of the injury', and almost everyone was satisfied, even Ban Xiaohou who only did paperwork got it Rewards and rank.

The only exception is Loujia.

Lou Ziwei, who made the greatest contribution in this war, suddenly committed suicide. At the same time, the emperor exiled Lou Juncheng and several sons for thousands of miles, and dismissed all the officials of Lou's family. , ordered Uncle Lou to bring the whole family back to their hometown immediately and think about it behind closed doors.

—Although the crime was not specified, many old fritters in the courtroom already knew it.

The only exception is Lou Yao.

It is said that just before the emperor was about to convict the Lou family, several former comrades of General He suddenly begged to see the emperor, begging the emperor to see the emperor in tears, for the sake of the He family's whole family. Open up.

The emperor is a nostalgic person. I think Lou Yao has no idea about his brother's evil deeds. If Lou Yao is not forgiven, should He Zhaojun remarry or go into exile and endure hardship together? Who will He's child look for in the future?

Gritting his teeth and struggling for a long time, the emperor finally raised his finger to Lou Yao, not only did not let him exile, but also found a small place for him to be the county magistrate, and the rest of the He clan could accompany him.

There is no wind and no snow on this day, which is a rare sunny day since the middle of winter.

Shao Shang was ordered by the empress to deliver the imperial book (a kind of document written by the empress to the emperor), and was then pulled by Ling Budo to stand under the porch to bask in the sun, and it didn't take long Yuan Shen also came. I don't know who started it, the three of them couldn't help but talk about Lou Ben.

"It's a pity for Brother Ziwei. In terms of talent alone, no one in the division can surpass him." Yuan Shen sighed, "If you think about it for a while, it will never be recovered. Now the whole family has been convicted, and the wife is going back to her parents' house. I don't know why."

Ling Budo raised the end of her long eyes: "Have you seen it too?"

Shao Shang rolled his eyes at him.

Yuan Shen said, "If it weren't for the coincidence of Wan Taishou, Lou Ziwei's plan would have come to pass."

"This is called Tianwang, which is sparse and not leaking!" Shaoshang said, "Everything has a bottom line, and the building has only crossed the line!"

Ling Budo is neither yin nor yang: "It turns out that Mrs. Cheng is so jealous of evil."

Shao Shang gave him another look.

He has to come step by step. He is good. The stars, sun and moon have to revolve around him. If he has to come up, he will be ranked third? How easy is it? Is His Majesty his biological father? Oh, biological father is useless. Bad Does he mean to kill innocent people indiscriminately? Haha, I laughed so hard, this excuse is not novel and refined at all! Just like Mr. Yuan, is the family of the Yuan family worse than the family of Lou? Isn’t Mr. Yuan from fifteen years old? He started at the sutra scripture platform every year, honestly, one step at a time, until now he is favored by His Majesty and has been elected to the Shangshu platform, and he can participate in important affairs of the state—are these all falling from the sky!”

Listening to the girl's compliments, Yuan Shen saw Ling Budo's face as if someone had been slashed, and couldn't help laughing away from his face, smiling extremely happily.

"Hey, that's right." Shao Shang expressed his feelings for a paragraph, then turned his head and said, "Master Yuan, didn't you say that it's five to three? How is it now? "

Yuan Shen stopped laughing abruptly, as if being caught by a cockfighting cock. This time, it was Ling Budo's turn to burst into a series of laughter, which was also extremely joyful.

"You don't need to worry about the young businessman, it's already three to two!" Yuan Shen stiffened his face and left with a flick of his long sleeves.

Shao Shang shouted at Yuan Shen's back: "Young Master Shan Jian, please work harder, next time you will choose one of the two, you can have a wedding banquet!"

Yuan Shen staggered, and then continued to move forward without any hindrance.

Seeing that there was no one in the corridor at this time, Shao Shang hurriedly tugged at Ling Budo's clothes: "Don't laugh, stop laughing, this is where the emperor is discussing matters, you laugh so loudly, Beware of the imperial censor impeaching you for being rude!"

Ling Budo managed to stop laughing, and his shoulders were still shaking.

Shao Shang said: "Because I have always spoken badly to Yuan Shen, so you are still polite to him, while Ayao is the opposite, right?"

Ling Budo glanced at the girl angrily: "I haven't settled with you yet, so you should ask me first. Where have you been a few days ago, have you been looking for He Zhaojun?"

The young merchant was lying on the railing and sighed: "At that time, I thought that Lou's family could not be saved, even the lightest exile would be fatal, but Ayao is really innocent, so I can't just ignore it. So I went to find He Zhaojun."

Ling Budoubt said: "I just said why they begged His Majesty in such a timely manner, it turned out to be you."

, I had to ask He Zhaojun to find the old uncles from the nearby counties and counties in advance to plead with Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Ling Budo sneered: "At that time, I was still pretending to be suspicious, but who would have turned his head and asked He Zhaojun to rescue the soldiers, you two-faced little bastard!"

Shao Shang pondered for a moment, then said: "I was really doubtful at that time, how can I convict someone without evidence? You didn't tell me those letters from Lou Ben at that time. But..." She sighed , "I think you should still trust you, you rarely do things you are not sure about."

Ling Budo snorted lightly and turned his head, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"I'm going to see Ayao and He Zhaojun off in a few days. In order to prevent you from showing your face to me again, it's better to say some things clearly in advance." Shaoshang went around. Ling Budo looked directly at him.

"The third brother said, the reason why you are brooding about Ayao is because if you don't care about the emperor's orders from your parents, you just let me choose between you and Ayao, I'm probably going to choose A Yao. . . . I think, uh, he's right."

Ling Budo was so angry that she turned her head to leave, but was dragged by the girl's sleeves - "But that was the past!" she shouted.

Ling Budo stopped, but his face did not turn back.

"I didn't know you well before, you were like a big white-fronted tiger trying to eat people, and you were so fierce all day long, Ah Yao was honest and obedient, I Whatever he should do, of course I choose him!" Shao Shang whispered.

Ling Budo turned around and hummed from the end of his nose, "What about now?"

"Now?" Shaoshang hurriedly said, "Then there is no need to say it! If you and Ayao are put on the food table together, even if Ayao has been roasted and covered with oil and deliciousness Incomparable, and you are still a piece of raw meat, I will only slap at you!" She couldn't help but use the words of her elder brother.

Ling Budo couldn't help laughing, and gently rubbed the girl's forehead. "Do your best to coax me!" He was delighted, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the clear night was clear.

Shao Shang held him for a while, and then his fingers touched the strange circles of iron wire around his wrist, and he wondered: "What is this? what?"

Ling Budo suddenly pushed the girl away and stood on her back, her handsome face flushed with inexplicable light red. After a long while, he said to himself, "You probably never knew, I've been thinking of you all the time."

The author has something to say: Most of the laws of the Western and Eastern Han are in the same line, but there are qualitative differences in the punishment. That is, from time to time, the Western Han Dynasty would "kill out" a family, but the Eastern Han basically did not.

When I was reading the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I often had doubts, Hey, isn't this X family destroyed before, why did it come out again? A more typical case is the Dou family, the Liang family, the Deng family, and even the Ban family...

For example, the Dou family was cleaned up after the death of Empress Dou Zhangde. Why did Empress Hengsi Dou Miao appear again? For example, the Deng family, the Deng family was also cleaned up after the death of Deng Sui. , then what happened to the Deng Meng family?

For example, the concubine of the Yin family stabbed the princess to death, but only the parents and brothers of the concubine died, and the other nobles of the Yin family were fine; Ban Chao's grandson also killed the princess, and was also killed by Only the concubine was dealt with, and the rest of the family members were fine.

Later I learned that the Eastern Han imperial family was more polite to these noble families. Except for the domineering general Liang Ji who hit the bottom line and poisoned the young emperor, the Liang family was thoroughly cleaned, and the rest of the political battles failed. The Xungui family basically only punished the main branch, and the side branches were only reprimanded. To put it simply, the brothers and sisters in the direct line will be implicated, but the uncles and uncles of the cousins ​​can get away with it.

The established clan can last until the Three Kingdoms era, and then you will meet the Sima family and their sons.
