Chapter 523: Reward
"That being the case...... Dead fatty, I'll spare you once. This time I'm here to kill you...... For Lin'er's and Chen'er's sake, I won't pursue the past anymore. ”
Fat Kang smiled and said: "The old man has no sin in the first place-virtuous son-in-law, you are now full-fledged, are you really only ready to be a lord of the moraine, and have no further plans?" Since the ministers have no good end, you should also think about the future. ”
"Are you still thinking about strange things?" Ma Lan glanced at Fat Kang and smiled coldly, "If I don't kill you, it's not that you're not at fault, it's just that I don't want to worry about you." If you say such things again, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! ”
Although he decided to let Kang Fat Man go, Ma Lan didn't have much affection for this guy who had helped him. Such a guy who wants to control his destiny, he feels uncomfortable when he sees it. His fate should only be in his own control, where can he let others decide.
bent on asking him to rebel and ignore the death of tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains, it may be normal to stand in the position of Kang Fatzi, but it is a great sin to stand in the position of Ma Lan. If he is not from later generations, I am afraid that the Central Plains has fallen into the flames of war at this time, and I don't know how many lives of the Han family will be tragically destroyed.
Such a person, not killing is already the limit, where can he continue to make waves.
"Virtuous son-in-law, the old man doesn't understand, after all, the Central Plains is more prosperous than Dashi, not to mention your current strength-"
"The surname Kang! Are you looking for death? Ma Lan lowered his voice and forced his eyes to look at the purple-haired fat man, "If you say one more word, I'll cut off your head!" ”
Kang Million grinned and smiled bitterly. Seeing that Ma Lan's hand had already pressed the handle of the knife, where did he dare to talk about this topic again.
Ma Lan continued to walk forward, and Kang Million followed. Seeing that Ma Lan's expression was not good, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Walking to the garden where Lin'er and Ma Chen's mother and son lived, Ma Ling stopped and said in a deep voice: "You have a sinister mind, but for me, after all, you are gracious." Without your help. Nor is it the situation it is today. As long as you stop thinking about asking me to rebel...... We'll be able to get along later. Today, I am the Lord of Moxi, and I can repay you. What you want, you can say. ”
Kang Million smiled: "Actually, what the old man wants, I have already said it before." The virtuous son-in-law is now like an emperor in the big food, and all the old man can do is to assist the virtuous son-in-law, or use the momentum of the virtuous son-in-law to expand his business. ”
"Be direct." Ma Lan said lightly.
"The old man is a Kangju person, although he is familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, he can't be a prime minister. It's not that material, this is what the old man knows. However, the old man still has some skills in financial management, if you trust the old man, the old man can be responsible for managing the money for the good son-in-law, to ensure that the accounts are clear, there will be no mistakes. Of course, the old man himself has the status of a minister. The status is noble, not comparable to businessmen. You can also have a good time. Kang Million said with a smile.
"When it comes to financial management, I also have capable people in Datang. And the stakes are high, and to be clear, I don't trust you. Ma Lan shook his head.
"Then the old man can only continue to do business, but the old man hopes that he can make his relationship with your virtuous son-in-law public, so that it will be more convenient for the old man to do business."
"This ...... OK. Ma Lan nodded.
"That'll be fine." Kang Million said with a smile. "With this relationship, it's much easier to do things. Rest assured, the old man is just a well-behaved businessman, and he won't cause trouble to you. ”
"Kangju businessmen are concerned about reputation, and I am not worried about that." Ma Lan looked at Fat Kang. "As long as you keep your duty in the future and stop thinking about strange things, your life will be very good. If you give up this matter, then Anxijun and I owe you a lot, and we will take care of you if we can take care of it in the future. ”
Kang Million nodded, and said with a smile: "There is another trivial matter. ”
"Say it."
"The old man accumulates wealth, in fact, it will be left to Chen'er, and he is just trying to be happy. If the old man wants to trade in the big food, he needs a foundation, Kufa is a big city, if he can get this city, the old man ......"
Ma Xuan waved his hand and interrupted Kang Wanwan's words: "This is okay." From this day on, you are the Lord of Kufa. I will send a herald, and you will be able to move to Kufa tomorrow, and the surrounding territories will be yours. ”
Kang Million didn't expect Ma Lan to agree so happily, his face showed joy, and he said repeatedly: "So good!" So much better! Thank you, old man! ”
"With your credit to my Anxi army...... As long as you keep to yourself, you can be the governor of the province. It's just that Kufa City has changed its lord, which is a big deal. But I'm going to build a big city upstream, and then Kufa's position may not be so important. ”
"It's okay to have Kufa as the foundation, the old man is not a greedy person, the old man is old, and he can't live for a few years, just live a few years of comfortable life." Kang Wanwan's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Look at it, the old man will definitely be able to leave a lot of wealth for Chen'er at that time, haha!" ”
"If you are in good health and have another son to inherit the wealth, I will arrange Chen'er's affairs, and you don't have to worry about it." Ma Lan said lightly.
Since he decided not to kill Kang Fatzi, it would not hurt to give him a Kufa city. Speaking of which, putting aside his motives, his credit to the Anxi Army is definitely worthy of such a reward. As for the original Kufa tax officer, just kick it away, anyway, he doesn't have much merit, if there is any complaint, kill it.
The army is the conqueror here, so naturally there is no need to look at the faces of the Dekhgans. If you lose the position of the city lord, you can still keep your wealth and land, what else is there to say, if you still have resentment, it is to find your own death.
"Yes, yes, I don't have to worry about Chen'er's affairs, but my son Lao Han can't be born, and he doesn't have that life." Fat Kang smiled, "The old man is ready to prepare, see those ground snakes tomorrow, haha, see what else they have to say!" ”
Listening to the meaning of the fat man, he still has some entanglements with the Dekhgans of Kufa, which is normal, after all, the fat man is an outsider, and it is normal for the locals to bully him. But this is all a trivial matter, and Ma Lan doesn't bother to pay attention to it, after the fat man becomes the lord of Kufa City, he can solve it himself.
“…… You said that you went to Chang'an City more than 30 years ago? ”
"Yes, at that time, the old man was still young, and he yearned for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, crossed the quicksand to Chang'an City, and it was then that he met Khomeini, he saw that the old man was skilled and smart, so he did everything possible to attract the old man to join the Persian temple, and for this reason he also sent a little beauty to seduce the old man......"
"Is there such a thing? Are you gone? ”
"The old man was young and vigorous at that time, and the little beauty was peerless, so the old man naturally followed. The old man was also a talent at that time, and the little beauty was also dead set on the old man, haha...... Seeing that Khomeini was full of sincerity, the old man agreed to join the Persian temple, mixed up with the title of shaman, got a lot of wealth out of thin air, and slowly started a ......"
"What happened?"
Later, the old man returned to Kangju, and he never met the little beauty again. But Eagle Slave, I also have it here, and I still know the news. I heard from Ayatollah Khomeini that the little beauty gave birth to a child for me, but then died......"
"It's a pity......
Since he decided to count Fat Kang as his own, the atmosphere slowly eased up. Ma Lan casually asked Kang Million about some of his past events, and Kang Million replied one by one, looking a little embarrassed.
Regarding the entanglement between Kang Million and the Persian Temple, Ma Lan also gradually understood, and completely determined that Kang Fatzi was not a person who believed in Ahura, but a standard profit-seeking people.
Kangju people are all profit-seeking, but Kang Fatzi's goal is just bigger. The situation of the Central Plains soldiers has not really formed, so there is no psychological burden to let him go. If you really kill him, I am afraid that it will be the same as killing Li Longji in the first place, and my heart will definitely be entangled. After all, he is Kang Lin'er's father and Xiao Machen's grandfather. Now that he doesn't have to kill him, Ma Luan's mood is much more relaxed.
If you don't kill, you won't kill, but he doesn't have respect for the elders for this fat man, after all, the fat man's motives are not pure. The two chatted for a long time in the garden where Ma Chen had played, and Ma Lan left the manor.
Fat Kang smiled and sent Ma Lu out of the park. Ma Lan went up to Qinghai Cheng, signaled that the fat man Kang didn't need to send it, and left the manor with two thousand iron horsemen, and went straight to Kufa City.
The city of Kufa experienced a war a few years ago, and now there are still traces of war on the city wall, and a section of the city wall that was blown down by the Anxi army with gunpowder was re-erected, but it is different from the previous city wall, and it looks extremely conspicuous. The banner of the Tang Dynasty is also planted on the head of the city. When the army came to a halt outside the city, the soldiers defending the city hurried back to report the news, and soon a large number of Persian Dekhgans won out.
Knowing Ma Lu's identity, the Dehgans were extremely frightened. Without the slightest smile on his face, Ma Lu directly announced the order to everyone, telling them that there will be a new city lord here tomorrow, and asking them to do a good job of reception, as for the original city lord, he is no longer the city lord and tax collector, but he can still enjoy the original wealth and land.
"The new lord of the city will come tomorrow, this is the order of the great general, you all do your own thing. Elimu, do you have any comments? After announcing the order, Ma Ling looked at the original city lord with a disappointed expression and asked.
"This ......" The old man named Elim gritted his teeth, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and then he didn't know anything.
Blood splattered, Elimu's head rolled into the dust, Ma Lu put the knife into the sheath, looked at everyone and said lightly: "What about you? Who still has an opinion? ”
Everyone turned pale with fright and quickly shook their heads.
Pointing to a Dehegan, Ma Ling said lightly: "You, lead the way, go to the Elim family and the city lord's mansion." ”
The middle-aged Persian turned pale and nodded silently, and a group of soldiers followed the middle-aged man into the city of Kufa, and soon returned, with strings of bloody human heads hanging from the saddle.
"Elimu's wealth and land belong to the new city lord. And every one of you shall be in peace, and there will be no evil, or else this will be an example. ”
The soldiers threw their heads on the ground, and Ma Ling looked at Dehegan and said lightly. Dehgan was extremely nervous, thinking of the Tang Army's reputation for cruelty and murder, they all nodded desperately.
"Deal with that." Ma Ling pointed to the head of the man on the ground, waved his hand, and rode away. Two thousand iron horsemen followed, and soon disappeared.
If the army wants to establish a rule here, it is inevitable that it will be fierce and brutal, and the death of hundreds of alien races is nothing at all, his heart is as hard as iron stone, and no matter how many aliens die, they will not care. (To be continued.) )
