Chapter 497: March's counterattack

Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the people to calm down. ΡˆΡ‰Ρˆ.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.

As Liu Xiu made a move, the people around the high platform all closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Liu Xiu looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Just now Qiu Zhen said the four major sins of the family, not mentioning other things of the family, at least the official was quite moved after hearing it, and felt that there was a certain amount of truth." But you can't just listen to the opinions of one side, as the so-called both listen to the clear and partial belief is dark, so you have to listen to what March has to say. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu suddenly made a pause.

The eyes are even sharper.

Liu Xiu's gaze swept over the people below, one by one they were intimidated by Liu Xiu's majesty, and they all held their breath, waiting for Liu Xiu to speak.

After a while, Liu Xiu said: "When Ma Qi is speaking, I hope that you and others will not interrupt without authorization, otherwise, Hugh blames the king for being polite." Master Ma, let's get started. ”

"No!"

March bowed, then stood sideways.

In this way, he faced Liu Xiu, gave Liu Xiu enough respect, and at the same time faced the cold 'gate' and the people.

Ma Qi's hands were originally hanging in front of him, his right hand was raised, his right index finger was raised, and he said loudly: "The first merit of my family is to benefit hundreds of people." In the past, there were bandits in the Yellow Turbans, hundreds of people were caught in the war, and hundreds of people were displaced. ”

"In times of crisis, who took in the people?"

"When war breaks out, the family also has to live and take refuge. When we are all in trouble, we still give you a glimmer of hope, so that you can have a bite to eat, although you can't eat and wear, but at least you won't starve to death. ”

Ma Qi's wrinkled old face had a look of remembrance, and said: "If it weren't for the family, would Jingzhou have the current Jingzhou? No, it can't be." ”

As soon as these words came out, many of the people present fell silent.

It is true that the family exploited the people and collected heavy rents, making it difficult for many people to become rich.

But at least, the people will not starve to death.

This is the most basic guarantee.

Ma Qi's words themselves have a certain amount of 'confusion' and 'nature', he glanced at the people around him, and then continued: "The scholars of the Han 'Gate' have also experienced these hardships, and among you, how many of you have encountered hardships and difficulties, it is because of the family's relief and the family's help that you have been able to survive the hardships and have today's achievements. But now, what have you done?"

Qiu Scar's eyes were disdainful, and he said, "Even if you have an inch of merit, that's not a reason why you can always exploit the people. In times of crisis, you give a mouthful of food, and let the people be your slaves for the rest of their lives, and that is really a good deal. You have given the people a mouthful of food, but they have given you more than that. ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Qiu Zhen, now is the time for March to speak." ”

In a word, there is a hint of warning.

Liu Xiu continued: "March, go on!"

For March's support, this gave hope to the people on the side of the family.

Ma Bochang stood below, his expression a little solemn, because he saw that Liu Xiu supported both the family and the Han 'Gate', as if both sides supported it. Ma Bochang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a ugly man, so he could only blame Liu Xiu for being the state pastor and having to put a bowl of water on the table.

Ma Qi put a stack of beards under his chin and said loudly: "The second merit of the family is to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou." In the past, the thieves in Jingzhou were 'chaotic', and these thieves were all gathered by the displaced people in the township, and under the guise of stabilizing the situation, they were entrenched in Jingzhou. ”

"When the ancestor Liu Biao arrived, the situation in Jingzhou was 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'. ”

"Liu Biao has no soldiers and no power, and it is impossible to solve the situation of rampant thieves in Jingzhou. ”

Ma Qi said: "At a critical time, it was the Kuai family headed by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the Pang family headed by Pang Ji, and the Cai family headed by Cai Mao who stood up to help and assist Liu Biao, so that the situation could be stabilized." ”

"With the Kuai family, the Pang family and the Cai family taking the lead, there are families from all over the country such as the Huang family and the Ma family who have responded one after another. ”

In this way, there is the stability of Jingzhou. ”

Ma Qizheng said: "Without the great help of the family, would Jingzhou have been stable for more than ten years? Can Jingzhou resist the attack of the Sun clan in Jiangdong? Impossible. ”

"Jingzhou is unstable, and it is impossible for the people to live the life they have now. ”

"Jingzhou is 'swinging', I'm afraid that many of the cold 'door' officials present are already a piece of loess. ”

Ma Qi seemed very reasonable, because when Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, it was indeed the Jingzhou family that helped to have today's situation, otherwise Jingzhou would not have been stable for more than ten years.

These words were praised by the people of the family.

One by one, they all thought March was right.

After hearing this, many people also showed some "expression" of emotion on their faces. The people are simple, although they have been suppressed, they are also simple and gracious. They listened to March's words and thought that this was indeed the case.

Qiu Scar's brows furrowed, his expression solemn.

In Qiu Scar's view, March is completely stealing the concept, completely generalizing, and fooling the people. Although the family has merit, the purpose of the family has never been to stabilize the situation, never to the people, but for its own interests. Because of helping Liu Biao, the family can govern Jingzhou with Liu Biao, and the family is willing to take action.

But Liu Xiu didn't allow him to refute, and Qiu Zhen could only suppress it in his heart and didn't speak for the time being. Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Ma Qi's words, and when Ma Qi said this, he reversed the gradual decline of the family.

Liu Xiu governed Jingzhou, he was ostensibly a young man of about twenty years old, but the age of his previous life was already old enough.

Liu Xiu knew that in this era, it was impossible for the family to be wiped out.

After the Cai family is eliminated, there will be the Li family, the Yang family, etc., as long as there are constantly officials, it is impossible to break off, it is just the 'handover' of the old and new families.

Therefore, Liu Xiu's public trial is to balance this matter, to let the cold 'door' come out, and to let the family restrain a little.

Eventually, a relatively balanced situation is reached.

Liu Xiu said: "Master Ma, continue. ”

March's chin rose slightly, and he said loudly: "The merit of the family is to recommend talents for the country." Whether it is the Kuai family, or the collapsed Cai family, or the Pang family, the Huang family, etc., they have recommended countless talents to Jingzhou. It is precisely because of these talents that Jingzhou can stabilize and have today's achievements. ”

"Without a family, can Jingzhou resist the attack of Jiangdong?"

"Without a family, can Jingzhou resist Liu Bei's invasion?"

"Without a family, can Jingzhou resist Cao's ''?"

Ma Qi raised his head and said loudly: "The peace in Jingzhou, to a certain extent, is also achieved by the family's efforts. It's just that you Hanmen officials don't know about all this, it's just that the people only see the results. ”

After saying this, the Hanmen official sneered, the people around him were silent, and the people of the family were arrogant.

Liu Xiu heard it in his ears, but he chuckled in his heart.

It's a good March, sure enough, ginger is old and spicy, and such credit can be taken, and he is really thick-skinned.

Liu Xiu was a little looking forward to Ma Qi's accusation of the cold 'door', and he said in a deep voice: "The three major merits of the Ma family master are 'quite interesting', let's talk about the four sins of the Han 'gate' officials." ”

"Yes!"

March listened and nodded in response.

In his heart, he already has a complete draft.

Qiu Scar degraded the family to worthless, and he wanted to use his three-inch tongue to make the people of the cold 'door' have no place to stand, and no longer have a trace of face to see the people of the family.

Ma Qi stared at the officials of the cold 'gate' with burning eyes, and said loudly: "The official of the cold 'gate' is guilty of one crime and is ungrateful. ”

Brush!

The expressions on the faces of countless Han 'Gate' officials turned into anger.

For a scholar, there are times when reputation is more important than 'life'. If it's a simple slander, it's fine, but ungrateful, this is already involved in the character of a scholar.

Ma Qi was calm, he was not anxious at all, and said slowly: "Everyone, listen to the old man, why do you say that the officials of the Han 'Gate' are ungrateful, there are two reasons. ”

There are two reasons for mentioning it, the expressions on the faces of Qiu Scar and the other officials are suddenly ugly.

One by one, the eyes were full of anger.

There are two reasons for being ungrateful, which is simply a slap in the face. Everyone stared at March, and if that look could be used as a sword, I am afraid that March would have been killed.
