Qiandu, the Mansion of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Shangshu Malin is squinting his eyes and thinking about what has happened in the past few days, the family sent a master to ambush Gao Shun and was killed by Gao Shun, and the family in Zhiyang County was slaughtered, although I don't know the specific situation, but I don't think it will be better to go there, which force is this, why has it never appeared in Liangzhou, and what will he do next. If these problems are not solved, Liangzhou will not be stable.

"Master, master, someone from my hometown has come. The butler yelled and ran in.

"What do you look like in a panic, who is coming from your hometown. Marin said to the housekeeper after the training.

"Second son, my subordinates have seen the second son. As soon as Marin finished speaking, a voice came.

"Oh, those old guys are willing to let you out, you don't have to protect them, they are desperate for their lives. "Ma Lin looked at it, it turned out to be Ma Ye, who was the first in the family leader, this guy is a real pillar country, the elders of the family have always arranged him at home to protect his own safety, how did he release him this time.

The second son laughed, and his subordinates only had some slight skills, which were valued by the old master. Besides, the old master is about to break through recently, so he doesn't need many guards. Ma also said.

"Oh, the old guy is about to break through the realm, this has not appeared since the Great Qiantai Ancestor. The Ma family is hopeful, as long as the old guy breaks through, then he will no longer have to look at Zhao Xu's face. Ma Lin was shocked, he knew that the old master of the Ma family, that is, his father, was at the peak of the Zhu Kingdom, and breaking through it was the peak of the strength of the Daqian Dynasty.

"Yes, the old master will break through in the near future, this time he sent his subordinates over, on the one hand, he wanted the second son to report on the affairs of Liangzhou during this time, and on the other hand, the situation during this period of time was strange and changeable, worried about the safety of the second son in the capital, and asked his subordinates to protect the second son more. Ma also said.

"He has a heart. ”

"Second son, how can father and son have an overnight feud, you just go back and take a look, admit your mistake to the old master, and the matter will pass. ”

"I'm not wrong, I admit it's wrong, but he broke the rules first. Lixian does not stand up, this is the rule of the family for many years, but what about him, forget it. Marlin yelled, every time he brought it up before, Marlin would get angry. It's the same now, but it's much more constricted.

"Tell me what happened to Liangzhou during this time, a county seat was slaughtered, what did you find?" asked Marin after regaining his composure.

"After the slaughter of Zhiyang County, Gao Shun led the army back to help, but it was too late, and when our people arrived in Zhiyang, Gao Shun had already sent troops to take over the city and deal with the aftermath of the war, so they didn't dare to make too big a move, but it was determined that the old woman in Zhiyang was dead, and the county seat and the treasury of each family were robbed clean. In the entire county, only Zhu Hongxi, who was outside, survived with his men. Ma also said.

"Who is this Zhu Hongxi, and why is he taking people outside. Marin said.

"This Zhu Hongxi is a son of the Zhu family in the county seat, served as the county lieutenant, and when the accident occurred, he took half of the soldiers of each family to Lu Renjia, and we asked Lu Renjia. ”

They wanted to cooperate with Lu Renjia and eradicate Gao Shun together, but as for the specific reason, he didn't know. After the county seat was slaughtered, two people came to find Zhu Hongxi. When Zhu Hongxi led the army back, he was taken down by Gao Shun on the charge of fornication and anti-thief. "The horse also returned.

"This Zhu Hongxi is really a pig's brain, don't you think about it, Gao Shun can also do this? ”

"Yes, when I set off, Gao Shun had already passed the word that he wanted to be the county magistrate of Zhiyang County, and his successor was a teacher in Zhiyang County, named Gao Wenjie. The chip is Zhu Hongxi's bandits. Ma also said.

"How did the head of the house reply? ”

"The head of the family said that he wanted to hear what the second son meant. ”

"Give it to him. Marin squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.

"One of these things is that Gao Shun insists on stealing himself, and the other is that there is really a powerful bandit force. No matter what kind of Gao Shun is now the biggest beneficiary. And Gao Shun now wants Zhiyang County, just to establish his own family, maybe Gao Wenjie and Gao Shun are of the same clan. As long as he wants to set up a family, we will help him, and he can't make much waves in Liangzhou. ”

"And we saved Zhu Hongxi, which is to give an explanation to all the families in Liangzhou, follow my Ma family, and the Ma family will definitely help you when you need it most. Marin said.

"Second son, there's no need, as long as Zhu Hongxi doesn't admit that he's seen Lu Renjia, Gao Shun's chips will be gone. At this time, the butler who was standing aside said.

"Pig Brain, Commander Ma, explain it to him. ”

"It's the second son, at the moment when Zhu Hongxi was arrested, Zhu Hongxi couldn't argue clearly, because when he went, he took away half of the family soldiers of all the families in Zhiyang, and they all met Lu Renjia, Zhu Hongxi can not say it, but no one said anything among the family soldiers he brought. After Ma also finished explaining, he turned his head to look at Marin, and didn't seem to want to pay attention to this pig brain.

"Second son, I'll let someone send a letter home. ”

"Well, by the way, tell my family, explore all parts of Liangzhou, and we can't rule out that there is really a force that can destroy Zhiyang County. If there is really such a group of mountain bandits, let Lu Renjia win him over first, and if it doesn't work, he will be killed. Marin said.

"Yes," Ma also said back to arrange for the delivery of the letter.

And Marin said to the butler

"Go, prepare a yard for Commander Ma, don't go too far from the house. All sorts of things are arranged in it, oh, he likes to rob, although he doesn't have good marksmanship. So the yard should be bigger. ”

"Master, the horse is only guarded, it is necessary... ”

"If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense. Marin scolded.

There are three Ma Lin brothers, the eldest is inferior to Ma Lin in strength and resourcefulness, but because the former head of the family is biased, he sat on the position of the current head of the Ma family, and he also came to the capital in a fit of anger, and he never went back. The third child is now in charge of all the business of the Ma family, and Ma is also older than the three brothers, and is their playmate when they are young, and several of them have been playing until they are older, and he can still remember that every time he is punished, it is the eldest brother who does not eat and distributes the saved rations to them, and every time he is beaten and injured, he also dresses himself with medicine. And now, when the family sees him, they all call him the second master, and only he has not changed by calling the second son.
