PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

After the people of Shangjun County made a big fuss, the squires and many powerful people who were unwilling to pay were silent, and with the help of Su Yi and Ma Bin, these people were even more unscrupulous.

The hatred of the rich will be in any dynasty, and Da Chu is no exception, the people of Shangjun County live in dire straits, and the squires and heroes in the city occupy most of the resources, especially some of the squire forces, who bought a large amount of farmland at a low price in the early days, and then gradually hired tenants to cultivate grain for them, which exploited many people in Shangjun County to the fullest.

In addition, all walks of life in the city are controlled by these squires, and the price of rice and other prices has always been high.

With this opportunity, the anger of the people in Shangjun County broke out all of a sudden, the attack on the county seat was a fuse, and the news that the squires were unwilling to pay for the repair of the city wall was even more popular, at first many squires and Haoqiang in Shangjun County did not care, but gradually they found that something was wrong, these people began to take to the streets, and even under the signal of Ma Bin and others, these people ran to the streets to demonstrate.

Ma Bin and other county officials were supposed to maintain law and order in the county town and stop these people from making trouble on the streets, but suddenly, they seemed to have disappeared together, no matter how the squire and Haoqiang sent people to look for them, they never saw Ma Bin.

In the end, the head of the Liu family was forced to be helpless, and ran to the county government in person, and the official who was on an errand at the gate of the county government looked at the head of the Liu family with a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Master Ma went to inspect outside the city." ”

"What?" The head of the Liu family was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Is the horse warden out of the city?" ”

"Yes......" The official who watched the gate nodded repeatedly.

The face of the head of the Liu family suddenly became hideous, and he said in a cold voice: "There is such a big thing in Shangjun County, and the Ma Warden is not in the city, but they are local parents and officials, do they have to sit back and watch those riots and ignore them?" ”

In fact, the head of the Liu family did suspect that Ma Bin was sitting back and watching the people make trouble, and even he suspected that the people in Shangjun County had such a big reaction. is because of the relationship between Ma Bin and Su Yi behind their backs.

The official on duty in front of the county yamen looked submissive, how dare he squeak, and the head of the Liu family was even more furious when he saw this.

This official is a member of the Liu family, the Liu family found Su Yi before, and arranged for a group of people to enter the county government as an errand officer, among which there is this officer, it can be said that although this person is on an errand in the Yamen, he is essentially a member of the Liu family, in the well-established dynasty of Dachu. Aside from the emperor, the person they feared most was the head of their own family.

These heads of families can even enforce family law with a single sentence and take their lives, and the court cannot interfere in the internal affairs of these families because of the trouble.

Because of this, how dare this official say more than half a word, he is on an errand in the yamen at this time, and he does not dare to offend Ma Bin and Su Yi, nor dare to offend the head of the Liu family, it is a dilemma. had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, smiling bitterly.

The Liu family stuffed these people into the county government, with the intention of inserting their own hands and eyeliner in the county government, and after mixing these people with yamen rice. It has not become as easy to control as before, so the head of the Liu family is completely angry.

"I want to unite the famous squires in the city and jointly write to the imperial court, demanding the removal of Su County Commander and Ma Dian!" Speaking of which. The head of the Liu family said with a cruel smile: "Besides, this horse warden was originally appointed by Su Yi privately, and no court document can prove that he is now the warden of Shangjun County." I'm going to ......"

As soon as his words fell, a voice came from the county office, "How is the Liu family?" ”

The head of the Liu family was stunned by the question, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Meng Hai wandering out of the county office.

"Didn't you take Xiang Yong to clean up the bandits outside the city?" The eyes of the head of the Liu family narrowed suddenly.

Meng Hai picked his teeth, looked disappreliant, and said lightly: "Isn't this Lord Ma just outside the city?" There is such a big thing in the county, of course Master Ma has to go out of the city to take charge of the aftermath. ”

The head of the Liu family said impatiently: "What aftermath work is there outside the city?" Now the gang of people in the city ......"

"Master Liu!" Meng Hai's voice suddenly raised, and he sneered: "Diao Min? The Diao people in the mouth of the head of the Liu family are all the people of my Dachu, and even the current emperor will not call his people Diao Min, what are you? Do you still call me the hard-working people of Dachu? ”

"You...... I ......" The head of the Liu family's brows frowned suddenly.

Meng Hai said coldly: "Before the bandits attacked the city, due to the perennial disrepair of the city fortifications, the bandits successfully entered the city, and Lord Ma was busy because of this matter, so how could he have time to take care of other things." ”

"But the people in the city ......," the head of the Liu family became anxious when he heard this.

Meng Hai's eyes widened suddenly, "Family Master Liu, can't you tell which of these two things is more important?" If the bandits attack the city again, do you think that with the current fortifications of the county seat, it will be able to resist those fierce and brutal bandits? ”

The head of the Liu family has always been high, whether it is in the family or in the county, he has always been the only one who reprimands others, how can anyone dare to speak to him like this in front of him, at this time, seeing Meng Hai so unexpected, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

"You are officials of the imperial court, so Su Yi is even more with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and a few thieves can't solve it, what kind of parent official should you be?" The head of the Liu family roared out such a sentence in a rage, and as soon as he finished saying this, he regretted it.

Sure enough, Meng Hai immediately fought back, and there was no room for the head of the Liu family to reverse.

"Master Liu! We, Lord Su, were appointed from the imperial court to be the county commander, how could you be so disrespectful to him? Isn't the head of the Liu family dissatisfied with Liu Yu and Lord Liu Tingshi's appointment to Lord Su? ”

The head of the Liu family's face was swollen and red, and he was about to refute, but Meng Hai didn't allow him to speak at all, and directly grabbed Bai and said: "Our lord is with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but what is the situation in the county, the head of the Liu family knows better than me, right?" The city wall is in disrepair all year round, the city gate is mottled and rusty, and the most unbearable thing is that even the jack gate can't be put down because of rust. ”

The Liu family opened their mouths and was about to speak, but Meng Hai grabbed Bai and said: "Lord Su's soldiers are also people, and they also have to eat, but what about the food in the county treasury?" Not a drop left, that's right, not a drop left! I remember that the Liu family has had several county governors, and the county treasury was ransacked, how did you let Master Su carry out his work, and how did the soldiers defend the city? I want to ask, the Liu family is powerful in Shangjun County, but why was the county storehouse emptied, and the head of the Liu family didn't know about it? I'm afraid there's something strange about this. ”
