Chapter 39: Blackmail

Although the Assassin by any means behaves very much like the dead soldiers cultivated by the Maison. Whether it is acting, calculation, or understanding of the county government, it is very similar.

But because of this, Ma Jian was a little bottomless in his heart.

If they weren't afraid of his death, then they could have gone out of the archives and let Ma Jian be burned to death. But they have already sent someone to save them, and now they have come to assassinate Ma Yan, which is obviously unreasonable.

What's more, the family is not stupid, if they want to assassinate themselves, they should theoretically send a Qiang person to assassinate themselves. In this way, Ma Tan was killed, and the murderer was a Qiang person, and he could barely transfer his suspicion.

Especially when assassinating him, the Assassins behaved strangely, and the nobles tried to kill him.

This made Ma Jian seriously doubt whether this would be the end of a third party.

It could be Cao Wei, it could be other scholars who were attracted by the Juntian Law, or it could be some other mysterious organization.

In short, the suspicion of the family is the lightest.

Therefore, Ma Tan tried not to have a showdown with the scholars at this time, and it was a good thing that he could cheat out any windfalls. Even if you can't cheat it, it's okay, as long as you steadily implement the Juntian Law and the Han Law.

"Ma Jian sent someone to find me? Doesn't look like a good person? ”

When the people sent by Ma Tan went to the Wu family, the head of the Wu family was practicing calligraphy and health preservation. Hearing that Ma Jian suddenly sent someone to find him, and he looked murderous, he suddenly felt bad.

Could it be that his plan was leaked? Is Ma Jian already ready to come over and raze the Wu family to the ground?

"That's right, there are five people in total, and there is a prisoner-looking person in custody." The subordinate replied cautiously.

"They have a very irritable attitude, as if they want to get angry with us if they don't agree with us."

"Only five people? That's fine, call them in. Hearing that it was not the Shu army that came, but the envoys of five people, Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really came to him, then he wouldn't be the one who came.

It looks like the plan hasn't been leaked yet.

Soon Yao Hu led the "assassin" to the Wu family's compound and met the head of the Wu family.

"Master of the Wu family, you Wu family is so bold! Dare to openly assassinate Taishou! As soon as Yao Hu saw the head of the Wu family, he immediately scolded, and the killing intent in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Blatantly assassinating the officials of the imperial court, do you still have the imperial court in your eyes! And is there no Your Majesty! ”

"Your Wu family, do you really want to rebel?"

Yao Hu's roar made the head of the Wu family almost stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

What? I sent someone to assassinate Ma Yan? When did it happen?

After reacting, the Wu family's heart suddenly hung in his throat.

"Captain Yao, you must have misunderstood! Our Wu family has been loyal for generations, and dare to rebel? Although there is a little conflict with Matthew Shou these days, it doesn't mean that we have the courage to assassinate the court officials! ”

"It must have been a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding! Even the assassins belong to your Wu family, are you misunderstanding me? Yao Hu was furious and pointed at the "assassin" who had been beaten half to death.

"If it weren't for Tai Shou's quick response, he would have almost let you wait for a small night! Today, I came to ask for sins on the orders of the county guard! ”

The head of the Wu family looked at it fixedly, and suddenly became even more confused.

Isn't this one of the clansmen who was captured by Ma Tan a few days ago? He can also assassinate in prison?

Whose general is this, so heroic?

"What's the matter with this? The head of the Wu family? Lord Taishou is now furious, and he wants to personally lead troops to destroy you! Yao Hu snorted coldly, looked at Wu Yong with his hands behind his back and said.

"If it weren't for the fact that Tai Shou was too seriously injured and the doctor didn't allow him to get out of bed, it is estimated that it would not be me who came now, but the army of the county guard."

Then he made an attitude, and his eyes seemed to be meaningless.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yongna didn't know what the situation was, this Ma Jian was here to rip off the bamboo.

In the past few days, the county government has basically lost all the internal affairs of their family, and it is difficult to inquire about the specific situation. What's more, several of their families are quietly transferring their core children and family property to prepare the final plan.

When the plan is successfully implemented, Ma Jian will naturally not survive, and he will still need to be assassinated.

Who in their family would want to assassinate a dying man now?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

And the other party's attitude makes it clear that they are determined to eat their Wu family, and today I am afraid that it will be a waste of money, and I am afraid that even the plan will be affected.

"Captain Yao, since the assassins are from our Wu family, it is the fault of the elders that the younger generation does not become a weapon. What does Captain Yao need us to compensate for this matter to make up for the mistake, I Wu Yong will admit it! ”

"After that, what the county guard commands, my Wu family will never dare to have any objections, they are all with the county guard! I only hope that Ma Junshou can see that our Wu family is loyal to His Majesty, and let the family have a way to live. ”

After speaking, the head of the Wu family bowed sincerely, looking completely resigned to his fate.

"Very good, the head of the Wu family is so cooperative, the county guard will naturally not be too excessive." Yao Hu nodded, thought about it, took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and looked at it twice, then put it back and continued.

"That...... Since the head of the Wu family is so knowledgeable about current affairs, the county guard naturally does not want to embarrass you. These days, natural disasters and man-made disasters in Longxi County, wars are frequent, and the lives of the people of Qianshou are devastated. ”

"What the county guard means, that is, now the people can't eat enough, and every family is short of food to go to the pot......"

"Give! Captain, you say the number, as long as my Wu family gives it, the full amount will be given to the county guard! ”

"Also, recently, the law of equalizing land has been implemented, and many people's families have been allocated fields but lack ...... cattle."

"Give! Since the county guard is incomparable, my Wu family has also decided to support it! ”

"By the way, the county guard said that the Qiang people will come in a few days, and there is still a lack of ...... in the army."

"Give! All the craftsmen of my Wu family need to go, and they can go at any time! I don't have a word for it! ”

"And many of the people in Longxi have not yet started a family, and many Ding men have not yet had a ......."

"Give...... cough cough cough" After subconsciously speaking, Wu Yong immediately reacted and coughed twice at once.

"I can't give this to the captain, my Wu family is also ......"

"Okay, good, the head of the Wu family is benevolent and righteous! With such a thoughtful love for the people, it must be impossible for you to be the mastermind behind the assassination of the county guard! Yao Hu suddenly became enthusiastic at this time, grabbed the hand of the head of the Wu family and said.

"A certain generation of Taishou thanks the support of the Wu family master, and we are waiting for your news in the county office!"

"It's best to deliver it within three days, the county guard is in a hurry after all."

"There's still something to do, go first!"

After speaking, Yao Hu turned his head and left, not giving the Wu family master a chance to react.

After Yao Hu left, the head of the Wu family's face suddenly became gloomy, and his teeth creaked.

"Head of the house...... We should ...... what they wanted."

"Send! Of course you have to send it! ”

"It's just some money and food, if you can use money and food to appease Ma Jian and make him wait for death with peace of mind, it will definitely be earned!"

The Wu family's eyes were red, but he still gritted his teeth and said.

"As long as the business is still there! Sooner or later, I'll be able to get it back! ”
