Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

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

"If it was really that simple, I would have taken action on the night we broke up at the banquet. He is just a county guard with only a warrior protecting him. Isn't it easy to kill him?"

"But do you know his true origin? Or do you know where his confidence comes from?"

Several family heads looked at each other and said nothing, waiting for Wu Yong quietly.

Wu Yong just paused for a moment, and then said calmly.

"Ma Di, whose courtesy name is Youchang, is from Yicheng, Xiangyang, Jingzhou. He is one of the legitimate sons of the Ma family in Xiangyang."

"He has been a genius since he was young. At that time, it is said that he was still very polite and law-abiding, and had close contacts with scholars. The five brothers Ma Su are called the Wuchang of the Ma family."

"Ma Di's elder brother was named Ma Liang, and he died in battle while following the late Emperor Liu Xuande of the Shu Han Dynasty in his crusade against Soochow. And Ma Liang happened to be Zhuge Liang's good friend and half-brother."

"Ma Di had no military exploits before he joined the army. He came to the position purely because of his good relationship with Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. For the task of guarding the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang chose Ma Di against all opinions."

"And even if Ma Su violated military orders, he should be executed according to the strict laws of the Shu Han court. But now His Majesty the Shu Han personally issued an edict and pardoned his crime."

"So don't you see it? Ma Su represents the Shu Han establishment and the interests of the Jingzhou gentry from the beginning to the end. Perhaps sending one of his counselors to Longxi as the governor is also part of their plan."

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

Once Ma Su is assassinated in Longxi, the Jingzhou faction in power in the Shu Han Dynasty will never let them go.

No matter how powerful the nobles in Longxi County are, they are still for ordinary people. For the nobles who control a country, crushing a few of them is no more difficult than crushing ants.

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

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

"Isn't their purpose obvious? They want to implement their power in Longyou."

Seeing the analysis Wu Yong gave them, the heads of several wealthy families were all speechless. Obviously from this aspect, this is a big chess game, a power struggle among the top leaders of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Little ants like them are nothing more than victims. Once Ma Su's death is involved with them, they will definitely be doomed.

"Then what should we do? Do you just admit it like this?" The head of the Chen family is a little unwilling. Even if he sacrifices, he shouldn't sacrifice the interests of his family.

We are working together to suffer in Qianshou... But it seems that there is no room for suffering in Longxi and Guizhou.

"Of course it's impossible to admit it like this, otherwise how could we Jiuquanxia explain to our ancestors." Wu Yong shook his head resolutely, his expression becoming a little solemn.

"Ma Su must die. If he had not died, we would all have a lot more family property. But we must not be connected to Ma Su's death. Someone must take the blame."

"Qiang people!" The head of the Han family immediately thought of the perfect person to take the blame, and immediately rushed to say.

"Yes, they must and can only be Qiang people!" Wu Yong nodded, looked at several colleagues, and said solemnly.

"We should stumble upon Ma Su during this period and slow down his actions as much as possible."

"When the Qiang people come out to plunder, we will find a way to make him die in the Qiang chaos. As long as the 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."

"By then we will have enough time to send people to Chengdu to manage the relationship, and slowly let us have a backer in the court. Even if Longyou stabilizes by then, the Shu people will not be able to settle accounts with us after the fall."

"It is necessary to seek stability in the middle, and cutting the flesh and bleeding is necessary. But as long as it is not Ma Su Dulong, we will not cut too much flesh!"

The noble clan leaders looked at each other and nodded heavily at the same time.

"Just do it."

"Why haven't the heads of those wealthy clans come here in the past two days? It suddenly became a bit boring."

Ma Di stood aside, bored and supervising the execution process.

The execution was still a bit new to him at the beginning, and it was interesting to see those scholars who had to pay attention to etiquette when walking were beaten and cried for their fathers and mothers.

It's bullshit that you can't be punished like a doctor. Everyone will be beaten here. Isn't this a kind of equality for everyone?

Just like when playing games in the previous life, all races were exploited equally.

But after so many days, Ma Su's sense of freshness was gone. Even if a few scholars were killed directly with sticks, Ma Di didn't feel any emotion in his heart.

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

"It's not like all the people from these aristocratic families are bastards, they can be so tolerant." Ma Su gritted his teeth when he thought of this. I want to check your land and kill your people, why don't you come and kill me.

I am very good at killing, and I drive Yao Hu far away every night when I go to bed. You just send someone here, trying to kill me is like picking something out of a bag.

When will you come, assassin?

After boringly executing a few scholars in public, Ma Di took stock of the remaining prisoners in the dungeon. There are only a few days left to execute them, so we might as well finish them all at once tomorrow.

When all the children of these aristocratic families are killed by him, the aristocratic family will completely fight him to death. At that time, he will cut off the flesh of the aristocratic family according to the household registration and land deeds he investigated, and he is not afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry.

The plan goes through! This time the goddess of victory is really smiling!

However, before Ma Su could walk back to the county office, he suddenly saw thick smoke rising suddenly in the distance.

From somewhere in the distance, between the houses of the county government, a stream of black smoke rose up from nowhere. Its richness cannot be produced by ordinary campfires.

"Wait? Is that the direction?" Ma Su suddenly felt something was wrong, and his expression changed after just thinking for a moment.

"Archives room?"

The direction of the fire was exactly where the county government's household registration files were stored. It contains the household registration and land deeds of all the people in Longxi County, and it is also the place where Ma Su focuses his investigation these days.

Ma Su guarded such an important place tightly, but it could still catch fire?

Sure enough, before Ma Su could react, he saw many officials running around in panic and shouting in panic.

"It's gone!"

"The archives room is on fire!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

"Lord Sheriff! The archives room suddenly leaked for some reason!"

After hearing the report from his men, a word flashed in Ma Su's mind.

The fire dragon burns the warehouse!
