The middle-aged man in brocade clothes is an elder of the Ma family, named Ma Kuan.

And the old man is the controller of the Ma family, Ma Juan.

"Patriarch, the county shou Ma Zhu begs to see. ”

Just then a servant came in to report.

The old man raised his eyes: "Let him in." ”

When the county guard Ma Zhu entered the house, he knelt on the ground with a puff and cried, "Patriarch help!"

"Put your heart in your belly, and go back and continue to be your county keeper. ”

The patriarch looked at Ma Zhu and said, "Yingzheng Xiao'er doesn't dare to touch you, he is thundering and raining." His purpose in doing so was simply to appease the troubled people. ”

Ma Juan said this and thought the same way.

The Ma clan is a wealthy family in Longxi, and many wealthy families in Daqin are connected with each other and advance and retreat together.

Ma Zhu is a member of the Ma family.

If Yingzheng dares to move Ma Zhu, it will be an enemy of the Ma family, and an enemy of dozens of wealthy families in Daqin!

Even if Yingzheng is the king of Qin, he can't withstand the wrath of the world's wealthy families.

The words of the old patriarch reassured Ma Zhu.

He stood up, and the panic on his face disappeared: "Then I wish to go back to the county guard mansion first." ”

"The matter of annexing good land will be suspended for the time being. The old patriarch said: "Also save a little face for the Qin royal family." ”

"No!" Ma Zhu said and left the Ma Clan's mansion.

......

A few days later.

Longxi County, the county seat.

There was a group of Jinyi guards dressed in flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives, under the leadership of the commander Ji Gang, riding majestic horses and rushing into the county town.

Jin Yiwei handled the case, and no one dared to stop him.

All the way unimpeded.

At the moment of the establishment of Jinyiwei, Yingzheng asked the Prime Minister's Mansion to announce to the world.

Edicts were plastered all over the counties.

The privileges of the brocade guard, the way is clear.

......

The county watchman's house.

"Lord Gunjo, something is wrong!"

A servant was outside the door, anxious.

At this moment, Ma Zhuzheng was holding the delicate concubine and scolded angrily: "Dog slave, didn't you see that the county guard was doing business?

"Lord County Guard, Wang Tingjin Yiwei has broken in and wants to take over the County Guard's Mansion!" the servant hurriedly said.

Suddenly, Ma Zhu's face showed a panicked look, and he couldn't care about the concubine in his arms.

"You can't ......"

Bang——!

At that moment, there was a noise of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was violently kicked open.

I saw a group of officials dressed in flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, breaking into the room and lifting Ma Zhu on the bed.

It's like an eagle catching a chicken.

"What are you doing, I'm the county guard of Longxi, a member of the Ma clan!"

"If you dare to do anything to me, the Ma clan will not be able to spare you!"

"Come on!"

Ma Zhu shouted in horror.

Ji Gang, who was standing at the door, looked at Ma Zhu coldly:

"This commander is ordered by the king to investigate and handle the case of the annexation of Liangtian by the Yima clan of the Longxi County Guard!

Take this person down, if he refuses to confess honestly, all the punishments of Jinyiwei will be served!"

"No!" the two brocade guards said.

Set up Ma Zhu and go down for interrogation.

The hundreds of brocade guards brought by Ji Gang have already taken over the entire county guard.

The original servants and messengers were all gathered in one courtyard.

......

The mansion of the Ma family.

Elder Ma Kuan, who had just received the news of the accident in the county guard's mansion, hurriedly came to Ma Juan's place:

"Patriarch, something is wrong!"

Ma Juan is holding a beautiful tea cup and tasting tea.

"As an elder, you're flustered all day long, what kind of system have you become?"

On Ma Juan's wrinkled old face, there was a light and breezy look, as if everything was under control, and said, "What's the matter?

"Patriarch, Jinyiwei has taken over the county guard mansion and arrested Ma Zhu, you should think of a way!" Ma Kuan said eagerly.

Smack——!

The teacup in the old patriarch's hand was smashed and shattered.

The tea is splashed and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

"Yingzheng is so bold, he really dares to touch my Ma clan!"

Ma Juan lost his composure just now, and his face showed anger:

"Don't show your grandeur, he really wins the government and is really a soft-footed shrimp in my Ma family, so easy to bully!"

"Gather all the elders and come to the Great Hall!"

Soon, more than a dozen elders of the Ma clan gathered in the main hall.

Ma Juan's old eyes glanced at the elders, and said in a deep voice:

"Ma Feng, you immediately mobilize three thousand private troops, surround the county guard's mansion, and blast out the Jinyi guard to the patriarch!"

"No!" Ma Feng took the order.

The Ma clan has a total of 4,000 private troops, and among many wealthy families, their strength belongs to the middle and lower class.

Even so, the Ma clan was not afraid of the Qin royal family.

The old patriarch went on to order:

"Ma Kuan, Ma He, Ma Ning, and Ma Yu listened to the order:

You and the other four went to the Zhou family, the Luo family, the Qiu family, and the Kang family to inform me of the bullying of the Ma family.

Please ask the four wealthy clans to jointly launch the Great Qin Hao Clan Alliance to discuss the matter of Qin Wangting's suppression of my Hao clan!"

"No!"

The four elders were commanded to go.

The four wealthy families mentioned by Ma Juan are all wealthy families who are friendly with the Ma family and are relatively close.

When the wealthy clans in Qinnei encounter a major crisis, as long as there are four or more wealthy clans united, they can initiate an alliance.

At that time, the major wealthy families will gather together to discuss countermeasures and advance and retreat together.

A storm is about to blow in Daqin.

......

The county watchman's house.

Ji Gang took several cronies and came towards the interrogation room.

Yes!!!

Terrible screams continued to come from the torture chamber.

"See the commander!" said the brocade guard, who was guarding outside the torture chamber, respectfully.

Ji Gang nodded: "Has Ma Zhu been recruited?"

"Commander Qiqi, not yet!" said Jinyiwei.

Ji Gang's tone was indifferent:

Within three hours, the commander wanted to get the answer he wanted from Ma Zhu's mouth.

Tell the interrogators inside that if they can't complete the task, they will come to see them!"

"No!" the two brocade guards hurriedly responded.

If they can't satisfy the commander, they know the consequences.

At this time, a brocade-clothed guard ran in with an anxious face, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report - the commander has made it bad for the lord, thousands of private troops of the Ma clan are rushing towards our county guard." ”

"Damn, these wealthy families, do you really want to rebel?!"

When Ji Gang heard this, he said murderously: "If they dare to attack the county guard where my Jinyi guard is stationed, it will be no different from a rebellion, and this commander will definitely kill!"

He changed his words and said: "The commander of the book commands: Jinyi guards the front and back doors of the county guard mansion, and anyone who dares to trespass will be killed!"

"No!" the brocade guard took the order and left.

Ji Gang held the embroidered spring knife tightly and said to himself: "The army of the old general Wang Yi should be almost here!"

As a god and demon, he is not afraid of enemy troops.

But as a last resort, Ji Gang didn't want to kill.

After all, it is a matter of the wealthy family, and it is very important, and it affects the whole body.

Once he fights with the Ma family's army, it is very likely to cause a full-scale war between the royal court and the Hao family.

Ji Gang has a shrewd mind, cunning mind, and great knowledge.

However, if the Ma clan is unscrupulous, Ji Gang must be killed and maintain the dignity of King Qin!

Rumble!

Soon after, the ground shook, and a well-armed hoplite marched to the county guard.

Playing the eye-catching "horse" word military flag.

The leader of the troops is a middle-aged man riding a tall horse, wearing armor and holding firm, with a bit of a general's style.

This person is none other than Ma Feng, the elder of the Ma clan, a martial artist of the Transcendent Realm.

Ma Feng ordered: "Surround the county guard mansion to Lao Tzu!"

"No!"

The 3,000-strong army was scattered, and the water surrounding the huge county guard was impassable.

"Listen to the brocade guards inside, I am Ma Feng, the leader of the Ma Clan!

If you don't want to die, just obediently withdraw from the county guard's mansion, withdraw from the county seat, and go back to Xianyang!"

Ma Feng said quite arrogantly.

Even if Jinyiwei is an organization subordinate to King Qin and represents Yingzheng, Ma Feng is not afraid.

The Ma family is a wealthy family in Great Qin, and they dare to stand up to the royal family.

Boom ——!

His words had just fallen.

There was a terrible coercion, which swept from the county guard's mansion violently, like a stormy wave.
