Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ma Tan Must Die

"Let him disappear immediately? Do you think I don't want to? Wu Yong shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly.

"If it had been that simple, I would have done it on the night of the feast. He's just a county guard, and there's only one martial artist around him to protect him, so it's not easy to kill him? ”

"But do you know where he really came from? Or do you know where his confidence comes from? ”

Several heads of the family glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, and waited quietly for Wu Yong.

Wu Yong only paused, and then said lightly.

"Ma Tan, the word is young, a native of Yicheng, Xiangyang, Jingzhou, is one of the sons of the Xiangyang Ma family."

He was a genius since he was young, and at that time it was said that he was still very respectful and law-abiding, and had a very close relationship with scholars. The five Ma Tan brothers are known as the Ma Five Constants. ”

"Ma Yan's brother was called Ma Liang, and he was killed in battle when he followed Liu Xuande, the first emperor of Shu Han, to defeat Eastern Wu. And Ma Liang happens to be Zhuge Liang's good friend and half-brother. ”

"Ma Jian didn't have any military merits at all before he joined the army, and he came to power purely because he had a good relationship with Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han. The task of guarding the street pavilion was also Zhuge Liang's choice of Ma Jian against public opinion. ”

"And even if Ma Tan disobeys the military order, he should be beheaded according to the strict laws of the Shu Han court. But now His Majesty Shu Han personally issued an edict and pardoned his crimes. ”

"So don't you see that? From beginning to end, Ma Tan represented the interests of the Shu Han establishment and the Jingzhou scholars. Perhaps sending one of his advisors to Longxi as a taishou was also part of their plan. ”

Needless to say, the rest of Wu Yong, several Shi clan heads also understood what it meant.

Once Ma Tan was assassinated in Longxi, the Jingzhou faction in power in Shu Han would definitely not let them go.

No matter how strong the Shi clan in Longxi County is, it is for ordinary people. In the face of the gentry who control a country, it is not much more difficult to crush them to death than to trample on them.

"And if you look at the five counties of Longyou, the people assigned by Zhuge Liang will know." Wu Yong threw out a bamboo slip.

"Zhuge Liang of Tianshui County is personally responsible, Wu Yi supervises Guangwei County, Wei Yan supervises Nan'an County, Yang Yi, supervises Anding County."

"Isn't their purpose obvious? It is to implement their power in Longyou. ”

Seeing the analysis that Wu Yong gave them, several big clan heads were all dumbfounded. Obviously, from this point of view, this is a big game of chess, a power struggle between the high-level of Shu Han.

Little ants like them are just victims, and once Ma Tan's death is related to them, they will be absolutely finished.

"So what are we going to do? Is that what you recognize? "The head of the Chen family is a little unwilling, even if he sacrifices, he shouldn't sacrifice the interests of their family.

We work together to make a hard time...... However, it seems that there is no room for Longxi Qianshou to suffer anymore.

"Naturally, it is impossible to admit it like this, otherwise how will we explain to our ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs." Wu Yong shook his head resolutely, and his expression became a little solemn.

"Ma Jian must die, if he doesn't die, we will all have a lot more family business. But Ma Yan's death must not be connected with us, and someone must take the blame. ”

"Qiang!" The head of the Han family suddenly thought of the perfect backing object, and immediately rushed to say.

"That's right, it must and can only be a Qiang!" Wu Yong nodded, looked at a few colleagues, and said solemnly.

"We should stumble on Ma Tan during this time, and slow him down as much as possible."

"When the Qiang people come out to plunder, then find a way to calculate and let him die in the Qiang chaos. As long as death has nothing to do with us, the Shu people will not be angry with us for the time being in order to stabilize Longyou. ”

"At that time, we will have enough time to send people to Chengdu to make some connections, and slowly let us have a backer in the court. At that time, even if Longyou stabilizes, the Shu people will not be able to settle accounts with us after the autumn. ”

"It is necessary to seek stability in this process, and it is necessary to cut flesh and let blood. But as long as it's not Ma Tan Dulong, we won't cut too much meat! ”

The clan leaders looked at each other and nodded heavily.

"Let's do it."

"Why didn't the heads of those big clans come here in the past two days? All of a sudden, it became a little boring. ”

Ma Jian stood aside, boredly supervising the execution process.

At the beginning of the execution, he was still a little fresh, and it was interesting to watch those soldiers who had to pay attention to etiquette when they walked being beaten and crying for their mothers.

Whatever punishment is not a doctor, it's all bullshit, and I have to be beaten here, isn't this a kind of equality for everyone.

It's the same as the equal exploitation of all races when playing games in the previous life.

But after a few days, Ma Yan's freshness is gone. Even if a few scholars were directly killed with a cane, Ma Jian did not have a trace of turmoil in his heart.

The most important thing is that after the execution every day, I have to go back to work, and I follow the officials to discuss the matter of household registration and land deeds, which is more tiring than 996.

"It's not that all the people in this family belong to the king's eight, so enduring." Ma Tan gritted his teeth when he thought of this, Lao Tzu wants to check your land and kill your people, why don't you come to kill me.

I'm very good at killing, and I drive Yao Hu away every night when I go to bed. You send someone to kill me like a bag.

Assassin, when the hell are you coming?

After executing a few scholars in public, Ma Jian counted the remaining prisoners in the dungeon. In total, I won't be executed for a few days, so let's just solve the whole big one tomorrow.

When these children of the family are all killed by themselves, the family will be completely with him. At that time, he will cut the flesh of the family according to the household registration and title deed that he has investigated, and he is not afraid that they will not jump over the wall in a hurry.

Plan to pass! This time it's really the goddess of victory smiling!

However, before Ma Tan walked back to the county office, he suddenly saw smoke suddenly rising in the distance.

From between the houses of the county government in the distance, puffs of black smoke rose at some point. Its richness is by no means the result of an ordinary campfire

"Wait? Is that direction? Ma Tan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his face changed after only thinking for a moment.

"Archives?"

The direction of the fire was the place where the county government kept the records and household registration. It contains the household registration and title deeds of all the people in Longxi County, and it is also the place where Ma Tan focuses on investigating these days.

In such an important place, Ma Jian is strictly guarded, and he can still catch fire?

Sure enough, before Ma Jian could react, he saw many officials scurrying in panic and shouting in panic.

"It's out of the water!"

"The archives are on fire!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

"Lord Gunjo! The archives suddenly went out of the water for some reason! ”

Hearing the report of his subordinates, a word flashed through Ma Yan's mind.

Fire dragon burns the warehouse!
