Since Jiang Gan suppressed the bandits, Yao Qisheng took Yu Hailong and changed the power structure of the Lincheng officials, Yu Hailong held a grudge, and for half a year, this old guy who retired to the rank of gentry and official was looking for opportunities all the time to fight for Yao Qisheng and regain his power and face.

At present, Ma Zhong's behavior after taking over the power of the marching capital camp made Yao Qisheng feel uneasy, and he saw the gap, Yu Hailong took advantage of the situation and conspired to make a secret move, until now, Yu Hailong has secretly united dozens of fame such as Chengyue Changfa, the main Bo Xu Anmin and the gentleman An Pingkang, and plans to come to a joint petition, no matter what Yao Qisheng does, he will not be able to resist the backbone of the Lincheng officialdom, once Yao Qisheng can't withstand the pressure from all sides, abdicate and delegate power, then Yu Hailong will inevitably return to the leadership of the official family, and with Yao Qisheng's power, The next blow must be the Tama family.

After sorting out these hidden threats, Ma Quan did not dare to drag out the slightest, and that night, he sneaked back to his mansion, and the housekeeper Ma Bo was surprised to see Ma Quan returning.

"Little grandpa, why did you come back at this point? What about the master? ”

"Ma Bo, you immediately send the house slaves to find some ranger swordsmen, give them a lot of money, and let them do this..."

Ma Quan made a rough arrangement, took a lot of money notes, turned around and left, and finally explained to Ma Bo: "Remember, I haven't come back, remember!" ”

Lincheng County Guard, Hou Mansion Mansion, Yao Qisheng is reading at night, the chaos of soldiers and thieves in the past few days made him feel irritable, he thought that he sent Ma Zhong to lead the march to the camp to exterminate, but the matter of the day and night, the result was that a school of soldiers was destroyed bad news.

"Master, Xu Anmin asks to see!"

Yao Qisheng, who was almost dazed, heard this and wondered: "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the master, it's three o'clock!"

"In the middle of the night, what the hell is Xu Anmin doing!" Yao Qisheng was very bored, but he finally ordered someone to bring Xu Anmin in, and as soon as Xu Anmin entered the house, he took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on Yao Qisheng's case.

"My lord, this is the detailed record of the extermination of the rebels sent back by Lord Yue from the marching capital camp, due to the urgency of time, the lower officials can only serve it late at night!"

Yao Qisheng yawned and said: "This official said in the hall during the day that the matter of exterminating the rebels will be discussed when Ma Zhong comes back, maybe there is some misunderstanding, just by letter, but artificially..."

"Definitely!" Xu Anmin denied: "My lord, this letter is written by Lord Sun Kui himself!" ”

"Sun Kui?" Yao Qisheng's face changed slightly when he heard the word Sun Kui, and others Yao Qisheng might have doubts, but this Sun Kui was specially sent by him to supervise the army Ma Zhong, and he was upright and unyielding.

Yao Qisheng hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully, and after a while, his face changed greatly: "This... This..."

A series of rapid breaths made Yao Qisheng's old beard tremble, and finally he asked urgently: "Where is Sun Kui?" Can it be accompanied by letters? ”

"My lord, Sun Kui is waiting outside the door!"

"Let him in!"

With permission, Sun Kui entered the house and saw Yao Qisheng, Sun Kui knelt down and bowed: "My lord, Ma Zhong is powerful, it's really infuriating!" ”

"Get up and speak, get up and speak!"

At this time, Yao Qisheng was already sweating, from the heart, compared with the previous Yu Hailong, he valued Ma Zhong more, after all, the Ma family is also a local family, which can suppress the balance of officialdom, and Ma Zhong is not as scheming as Yu Hailong, and his own orders are more stable, but this incident has made Ma Zhong's dictatorial behavior secretly revealed, if he also wants to engage in the military affairs of Hailong's dictatorship, then his county guard will not be stable!

"My lord, those chaotic soldiers are the defeated soldiers in the river, but there are only more than 500, and there are three colonels of soldiers in the marching battalion that went to exterminate, about 3,000 people, if there is a huge gap, how can you not destroy the thieves? Therefore, in what the lower officials said with their own eyes, and found in their own secret investigation, this was all due to Ma Zhong's sole power, and he Ma Zhong deliberately pitted the marching capital camp, and the original commander Jiang Gan left the Dubo team to let him die, let him secretly intervene in his own people, and stabilize his authority, as for asking for the Bei'an Army to make a move, it is just to push outsiders and make outsiders prestige, so adults are afraid of the Bei'an Army, and they are blinded, they will not notice it at all, so they are really thieves! ”

Sun Kui mourned in a hoarse voice: "My lord, if this goes on for a long time, Ma Zhong will become the second Yu Hailong... Where will you be placed? Therefore, with this greeting ceremony, investigate and deal with Ma Zhong's dereliction of duty, here, the official has carefully estimated, although the Bei'an Army is powerful, but its general Lin Zhongyi is a numerology person, with him present, Ma Zhong does not dare to make a mistake, so it can also save the adult's face authority, my lord, I can't let go of this opportunity! ”

"But in this way, the official will also involve the Bei'an Army, and the rules of the official road and the military are irrelevant, but the official will destroy it single-handedly, and the military will interfere in the officialdom of the city in the future... This..."Yao Qisheng was worried, and Xu Anmin spoke when he saw this.

"My lord, this is just to use the Bei'an Army to suppress Ma Zhong, you think, Ma Zhong is a family of Lincheng Army, but Lin Xiu is a foreign general, from the perspective of position, Lin Xiu is far away from officialdom power than Ma Zhong, from the perspective of temperament, Lin Xiu is also more upright and loyal than Ma Zhong, and Lin Xiu will definitely not do it, otherwise this time the adult will order him to suppress the thief, he can refuse! But the result? Not only did he respond, but he also dealt with the chaos with the power of thunder, which was enough to show his person, in other words, the hungry dog next to the couch was more arrogant than the arrogant lion, the hungry dog was greedy, and he moved when he smelled it, but the lion was mighty and proud, and disdained to prey on the flesh and bones of the weak! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Anmin retreated to listen, he knew that his analogy was vulgar, but his reason was extremely clear, with Yao Qisheng's heart and mind, it was enough to understand everything, and Yao Qisheng was not a heartless and desireless lord, he would not give up the power of Lincheng. In Xu Anmin's conclusion, the room was quiet for half a moment, and Yao Qisheng said: "Alas... The old man has been an official all his life, why does he always encounter such a wasteful thing..."

"My lord, at present, the Bei'an Army and the marching army camp have marched all the way west along the south road of Shanggu County and the official road of Linxi County, and they will arrive in Lincheng in two days at most, so you must prepare as soon as possible, and order the reputation of the gentry and officials, if you miss this opportunity, Ma Zhong will stabilize his position, and it will be even more difficult for you to shake him!"

Xu Anmin asked Yao Qisheng again, and Sun Kui also knelt down and said: "Don't worry, my lord, since the lower officials dare to write this letter, they are not afraid of the power of the Ma family." As long as you give an order, the lower official will definitely accuse Ma Dusi in public after welcoming the gift, not for anything else, but for the hundreds of innocent outlaws in Lincheng, and please rest assured, if this incident causes the Ma family to be angry or other procrastination, all the culpability arising from the consequences will be borne by the lower official alone, and the adult will never be implicated! ”
