Jing Zhaoyin and the rangers brought by Sun Wei were all sent out by Ma Yue, promising them some money and letting them live in Chang'an for a while.

To their surprise, Jing Zhaoyin, who looked young and fierce, didn't ask for anything else, just asked the seven of them to separate seven cheap small mansions in and out of Chang'an City and live for a few months.

Sun Wei had no order, Ma Yue asked this swordsman-born entourage to follow him, and do whatever he wanted.

Ma Yue ordered the Yang Party to send people to Jingzhaoyin counties and retrieved the county records. In the territory of Jing Zhaoyin, the eleven county magistrates, the relatives and brothers of the Yang Party account for five, and this Chang'an County Commander is only afraid that it is much easier to speak than Ma Yue, Jing Zhaoyin.

He wanted to see what had happened in the land over the years.

It is not a day's work to clear Jing Zhao Yin, it takes too much planning, after all, this is so close to Luoyang, Luoyang is a place that affects the whole body, Jing Zhao Yin is inextricably linked with Luoyang, even Ma Yue, he has not done a good job of completely clearing this land.

It's not a question of whether he wants to or not, but whether he can or not.

After the incident of the court vying for the master, he has matured a lot, and now he knows that if he sees black here, he is not white. More understanding was needed to make up his mind.

Half a month after taking office, Du Ji came and came back with Liu Erlang and a carriage of files.

"Yuma Fujun, the lower officials have finished interrogating all the prisoners in Zheng County, and the file is outside the official temple, do you want someone to take it?"

Ma Yue glanced up at Du Ji, his eyes swept over him to Liu Erlang's face behind him, and saw Liu Erlang nodding at him to signal that Du Ji was fine, before nodding and saying, "Order someone to present it." ”

He saw Du Ji with two retinues...... A county magistrate has more people than him, got up and piled up the county records of each county, Ma Yue only then remembered that this Du Ji is not a gongcao, and he is looking for the right person by asking him about these things.

Then, he saw Du Yi's two entourages carrying more than a dozen books from outside the door over and over again, putting them down, and after a while, there were more than a dozen volumes of books. Ma Yue asked with surprise on his face, "Du Bohou, how many prisoners have you dealt with?" ”

"Yufu-kun." Du Ji raised his head and arched his hand, and Ma Yue saw his pale black circles and bloodshot eyes, so he heard him reply: "Four hundred and twelve people, those who are traitors and criminals will be filled with troops to repair the city according to the Han law, and those who are not guilty will be released in the future." ”

Ma Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked, "How did you solve the case?" ”

Du Yi was very respectful, but his face was a little contemptuous, and he replied: "Enforce the law impartially." ”

Ma Yue looked like that, pointed at Liu Erlang and asked Du Ji, "How long has he not slept?" ”

"Fifteen hours." Liu Erlang lowered his head and said with some unbearability on his face: "Fujun, will you let Du Lang go down to rest first?" The villain tells you about the process of solving the case. ”

Liu Erlang pleaded, don't say that Ma Yue doesn't think Du Ji did anything wrong now, that is, Du Ji really broke the wrong case, as long as Liu Erlang opens his mouth, he will also protect Du Ji, not to mention just sleeping. If it weren't for the desperate fight between Liu Dalang and Heifu in Jiangnan, I am afraid that he Ma Sanlang would have been buried in his hometown by now, and Uncle Liu is just this younger brother, how could he not take care of it?

It's just that Ma Yue seems that Liu Erlang's spirit is only a little better than Du Ji, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "You take Du Bohou down to rest first, and you can also go to sleep for a while." I'll talk about it tomorrow, so I'll look at the file for myself and go down. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Ma Yue waved his hand, looking at the backs of the two, he got up and took a few volumes of files, put them in a few cases and carefully consulted them, and when he opened the font and looked at Jun Jun, a literati scholarly anger came to his face, asking Ma Yue to have a good impression of this Du Ji first.

The more he looked at it, the more Ma felt that the former Zheng County Order was not a thing, and there were seven cases in succession, which were nothing more than some small things that stole chickens and dogs, and he was actually locked up for half a year. It is rare that Du Yi has no details about these small things, all of them are clearly described, and finally he writes suggestions for dealing with them, it seems that as long as Ma Yue nods, these files will be dealt with in accordance with the punishment method set before, which makes Ma Yue have to look very carefully when he examines the case.

Hundreds of volumes of books, Ma Yue put what Yang Dang said behind him, and just sat and read the case volume by volume. Reading between the lines, Ma Yue found that Du Ji was a legal talent, and he had a very high understanding of the "Han Law", and it can be seen from the judgment of the case that he had his own understanding of the relationship between the law and the rule of man, such as killing someone to avenge his father, according to the Han law, this is a capital crime. And Du Ji's judgment is to remember family affection and send Liangzhou to the border as a punishment.

If this verdict is Ma Yue, who has accepted everyone equally, it is normal, but as a Du Yi who is familiar with ancient books, it is really rare.

Unconsciously, Ma Yue flipped through the books, the sky was slowly getting dark, and no one lit the candlestick for him, so he had to shake his head and light it himself, and looked at the candlelight again.

……

In February this year, Han Sui raised troops from Jincheng, sent the Qiang people Hu to the north, Qiang Shuai Zhang Hengtun Wuwei soldiers pointed to Jiuquan County, entrenched in Jiuquan County Qiang Wang Zhi Wudai took the opportunity to make trouble, broke through the county rule and surrendered to Han Sui. Then, 30,000 Qiang rode out of Yuzhong to sweep Hanyang.

The war is in full swing for months, from Jincheng to Longxian this road is full of battlefields, Liang people have experienced hundreds of years of war, the biggest experience is that women and children need to run faster than anything else in the war, but men must be braver than one another.

The rebels were once overwhelmed, the Seven Qiang cavalry broke the Han army, Chen Bing Longxian was under the city, Han Sui persuaded Gai Xun to surrender, and the siege lasted for 35 days.

The Han army could not defeat the rebels, firstly, because of insufficient numbers, and secondly, because there were no horses and no weapons. The number of Han troops in three counties was no less than 20,000, but the real effective combat strength was only Ma Teng of Zhangjiachuan, with 4,000 iron spearheads.

They relied on these 4,000 iron spearheads to defend Longxian until the beginning of March, when Ma Yue led the general to march to Xingyang, Yang Feng led a light horse to burn the tent of a Qiang tribe at night, and Han Sui, who was disturbed by the horses, failed to sleep peacefully all night. Taking advantage of this opportunity, 6,000 broken weapons of various kinds were sent into the city, and ten years later, the Han army left the city and defeated the rebels.

The pursuit lasted for sixty miles, and after three days and three nights, the rebels withdrew to Yuzhong, and the Han army still held on to its words.

In the blazing village, Ma Teng, who was wearing a helmet and armor, straddled a majestic horse, and his iron spear was stirred up and forth among the piles of burning corpses, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

"Shoucheng, they are all villagers, their property has been taken away, and all the people have been killed."

"Is it Han Sui?"

Ma Teng frowned, he didn't even believe what he said, this is Yuzhong, the village was in Han Sui's sphere of influence, if the village was to be slaughtered, would it have to wait until the Han army counterattacked to slaughter on the way to escape?

The general opposite him was Cheng Yin, who was bearded, his brows were also furrowed, but his face was different from Ma Teng, he just looked at Ma Teng fixedly, and did not speak.

They all know who the leading striker is, but they don't want to admit this answer.

It doesn't matter if you slaughter a village, put it on Ma Teng, or Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi, or play with horses, it doesn't matter if you put it on all of them, these men who crawled out of the tumbling sea of blood would not have such a big reaction at all. But what if this kind of thing is done by the children they watched grow up?

Twenty miles away, Ma Dai rode his horse and beckoned backwards on a small hillside, and then in a few moments, nearly a thousand mixed cavalry of Han and Qiang rode out from the other side of the official road under the leadership of a vigorous and unruly young man.

At the foot of Ma Dai, a village inhabited by Han and Qiang has fallen into a deep sleep, without a single light.

Ma Chao squinted his unruly eyes at the quiet village crawling at his feet, the horse paced and kicked up the hillside, the hand holding the reins opened his five fingers and shook it fiercely, waving his hand without looking back, and more and more cavalry stepped onto the hillside.

With the exertion of his right hand, the horse-shaped flag hanging on the iron pole was blown up by the night wind, and the flagpole was inserted into the ground to a depth of feet, and the surrounding land suddenly cracked. Ma Chao took the iron spear handed by Ma Dai.

Holding the reins in his left hand, he raised the iron spear with his right hand and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and Ma Chao, who was wide-eyed, shouted: "Ha! ”

The fine white Xianbei steed under the crotch suddenly exerted its strength, and the dust it brought up was particularly conspicuous in the moonlight, like an earth dragon rushing straight towards the village, unstoppable.

Eighteen-year-old Ma Chao is very similar to Ma Yue four years ago, generally brave and heroic, but this ruthlessness is far more than Ma Yue.

I don't know how Ma Yue would feel if he knew that the war horses that fought to the death for the people of Liangzhou to block the invasion of Xianbei were now rushing towards the civilian villages with spears under Ma Chao's control.

The sound of a thousand horses galloping woke up the sleeping people, and the man ran out of the wooden house in a panic, looking at Ma Chao who was riding his horse with a fierce face, and hurriedly shouted: "We are the people who are sheltered by Lord Han Wenyue of Liangzhou!" The general spares his life! ”

"Lord Han Sui of Liangzhou?"

Ma Chao's cold face had a wicked smile, and the unclothed man met the sharp spearhead, blood! At the moment of intercourse, it was sprayed on Ma Chao's face, warm.

The horse-shaped banner on the hillside rises in the wind.

Thousands of horses galloped down, and in a whistling moment, they had already walked through the village, sabers and spears danced together, and the people who were powerless to resist were slaughtered in the blink of an eye, the old people and children were dragged out of the house, and the men with pigtails did not give them a chance to defend at all, and as soon as the saber was raised, a big head flew up.

Kill, plunder, ignite.

The peaceful village turned into a pile of scorched earth in the blink of an eye.

The flames were blazing, shining on Ma Chao's cold face, and his subordinates were sent to serve as scouts, and Qiang rode around searching for fish that had slipped through the net to make up for a knife, and the horse's pocket was full of heads.

He seemed to understand what the master surnamed Guan said when he was a child, he couldn't punch too straight, and he had to have the strength to retract before he could make the next move.

Only by constantly making moves can you be strong enough to kill others and thus gain power.
