Tian Chou and Guo Jia knew that if the crimes committed by Sima Yi were according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, it would be enough to kill the nine clans; fortunately, Lu Ning pursued that personal crimes did not involve others, and were borne by the individual; otherwise, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the Sima family would be really finished and Sima Lang could not escape death.

Tian Chou said: "Lord, will Sima Yi and his men arrest him immediately?"

Lu Ning said: "Arest immediately and arrest all the relevant personnel lurking in our jurisdiction to the case; since everyone has done something wrong, they must be responsible for their own actions. There is no human favor, which can reflect the dignity of the law and let the people know that everyone is equal before the law; of course, those who do not involve this case cannot be held accountable, let alone extend it. We only hold the individual accountable."

Guo Jia said: "Lord, then we will go and execute it."

Lu Ning said: "Go!"

After Guo Jia and Tian Chou left, Lu Ning asked Dian Wei to call Sima Lang.

Sima Lang really didn't know anything. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Brother, what did you ask me to do? Is there a lot of work to deal with?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you won't miss you for a long time, let's sit down first."

Seeing that Lu Ning's face was not very good, Sima Lang asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Lu Ning handed Sima Lang the investigation information in his hand and said lightly: "Fifth brother, do you take a look at these things first?"

Sima Lang didn't dare to joke anymore. After taking the information, he looked carefully, and was shocked while looking, his face became paler. These evidences show that the crime committed by his brother Sima Yi was indeed too great, and this was a serious crime of traitoring the country! He also had been engaged in espionage activities for many years and had been selling intelligence since the attack on Yuan Shao. Now he has provided countless information to Cao Cao; he also secretly sold some things that were strictly forbidden to sell to Cao Cao.

After reading it, Sima Lang was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He cursed in anger: "This rebellious son, since he has done something that is extremely evil."

Lu Ning said: "Fifth brother, the matter has happened. It's useless to get angry and get angry. I'd better think about what to do, right?"

Sima Lang said righteously: "Brother, what's there to say? Do things according to the law. Since we call everyone equal before the law every day, we can't just say it on our lips."

Lu Ning waited for Sima Lang's words, which was also Lu Ning's test of whether Sima Lang was a real gentleman or a hypocrite; of course, even if Sima Lang disagreed, Lu Ning would handle it strictly, and this cannot be questioned.

Lu Ning said: "Fifth brother, you have a good attitude, so don't worry. If Sima Yi breaks the law, he must accept the sanctions of the law; and Sima Yi people can represent themselves, but not others; this matter will be handled according to the law, and it will not affect the character and development of your Sima family because of this matter, and it will not affect you; but the people in your family will have to do your work, and no one can protect such things."

What Sima Lang was most worried about was that he would involve the Sima family, and he did not expect whether he would involve himself. After hearing Lu Ning's words, a stone that was unresolved in his heart finally landed on the ground.

Sima Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, it's all my fault that I don't discipline him well. I'm wrong, so you punish me!"

Lu Ning said: "Fifth brother, why should I punish you? You have not made any mistakes, and you have made contributions to the people in your jurisdiction. You are a great hero, so how to punish you is not in line with the law. He is responsible for Sima Yi's affairs alone and will not involve anyone. Of course, if you participate in Sima Yi's behavior, you will of course be punished, and you cannot tolerate the traitor."

Sima Lang said: "This rebellious son committed such a big crime, and even cutting ten heads is not considered a matter of killing ten heads. If it were in the past, the Sima family would have suffered. It would be strange if they were not exterminated!"

Lu Ning said: "Fifth brother, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will let others deal with it and I will definitely notarize and fairly judge. As for what kind of crime Sima Yi has to bear, it is not my final say. I will convict according to the law and everything will be followed by the court's judgment."

Sima Lang said: "Brother, thank you!"

Lu Ning said: "Fifth brother, don't have any ideological burden. Keep working hard, do whatever you should do, and don't affect your work for this matter; of course, the people of the Sima family also want you to do your work, so that they don't do any wrong ways and believe in the notarization of the law."

In the following days, Jinyang City became a boiling sound; Sima Yi's case was tried and was eventually sentenced to death; other people involved in the case were also sentenced to various crimes of the fundamental crimes.

The result of this trial also sounded the alarm for the senior officials in Lu Ning's jurisdiction. All the senior officials in the jurisdiction knew in their hearts that Sima Lang was Lu Ning's brother, and Sima Lang was also the highest official in charge of justice. Such a relationship could not save Sima Yi's life. If other people commit crimes, don't think it's cold and hot, and they will definitely do things as usual.

Sima Yi's notarized judgment also gave the people in Lu Ning's jurisdiction a great understanding of the dignity of the law, and also knew that the laws formulated by Lu Ning were equal to everyone. No matter what the background was, as long as the law was violated, they would be punished.

Lu Ning also felt much more relaxed, so he no longer had to worry about Sima Yi and his descendants rebelling and causing the Han people to suffer a lot; after all, Sima Yi is not married yet, and there will be no more people like Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Sima Yan.

Sima Yi's actions also caused heavy losses to the spies lurking in Lu Ning's jurisdiction, especially the spys arranged by Cao Cao in Lu Ning's territory, which were basically completely eliminated. Even if they were not removed, they were cautious when acting, for fear of being discovered by the counter-espionage agencies under Lu Ning.

Of course, at the beginning, Sima Yi's father Sima Fang really wanted Sima Lang to plead with Lu Ning, hoping that Lu Ning could let Sima Yi go for Sima Lang's outstanding achievements; but Sima Lang refused at once. This kind of thing was already Lu Ning's greatest care if he didn't involve the family, and he wanted to protect Sima Yi's life. How could this be possible? Besides, Sima Lang also knew Lu Ning's intentions, so how could he do such a thing that hurts the law again!

Later, Sima Fang, the old man, came to find Lu Ning in person.

Lu Ning only told Mr. Sima Fang one sentence: "Old man, over the years, I have been doing what I have done to your Sima family. You should be very clear about this. Now that Sima Yi has committed such a great crime, how can you give me a slight retribution? How can you save his life? The old man wouldn't think that there are laws in our jurisdiction that are all decorations? If the old man is me, then how would the old man make a decision?"

Of course, Sima Fang knew in his heart that the Sima family had developed very fast over the years, which was inseparable from Lu Ning's support; without Lu Ning, the Sima family would not have the current strength, and would not have developed so quickly, and Sima Fang would not have doubted this.

Sima Fang also understood that Lu Ning cared about Sima Lang's name, and he has always been a high-ranking official under Lu Ning, and his power was also very huge. If he were not Lu Ning's confidant, how could he have been such an important high-ranking official for a long time?

Sima Fang did not say anything anymore and stood up politely to say goodbye. Lu Ning already understood what he said. There was no need to say anything else. All of this can only be blamed for Sima Yi for taking the blame, and no one can blame him.
