The Book of Heaven

Chapter 240

Of course Ma Zheng had already been taken away.

Obviously, there was a problem in a certain link in this plan, and this problem was not even discovered by Ma Zheng in advance.He didn't feel anything after he came out of the inn, but when he went around in a circle and rushed to the reeds on the other side of the creek, he was already being watched.

Ma Zhao just appeared here, and the moment Ma Zheng's attention was completely attracted, a figure stepped on the flying reeds on the reeds and rushed towards Ma Zheng!

The figure with fluttering clothes seems to be a condor that has found its prey, but even if Ma Zheng, as the prey, reacts, it is too late. Grab it yourself.

"How could it be this old man?"

Seeing the smiling face of the visitor, Ma Zheng really smiled wryly in his heart.

Qin Tian, ​​the stele-thrower, who was almost the top priest of the Zhuge family, actually went out in person, and it was a surprise attack. Ma Zheng felt that he was not wronged at all for his loss this time.

Anyway, everyone is already at the level of "half step up to the hall", even if it is a real innate master, Qin Tian will not benefit from it, let alone Ma Zheng has never touched the edge of innateness.

"Boy, we meet again."

Qin Tian didn't have much complacency on his face. As a master, he has the self-consciousness of a master. Of course, Qin Tian would not feel the joy of success in successfully attacking a warrior under the age of 20, but it was just a trivial matter for Zhuge's family. It's just a small matter.

Facing Qin Tian, ​​Ma Zheng kept moving his eyes, but he hoped that Li Ping and Ma Zhao in the tea shop across the river could take a look this way, at least let them know that he was captured by Qin Tian, ​​so that Li Ping could He won't act rashly, but it's a pity that Li Ping and Ma Zhao are talking at this time, so they don't have a chance to look over.

And Qin Tian didn't give Ma Zhao another chance, he got into the reeds like carrying a chick, followed by guards with double whips.

Ma Zheng didn't know what happened next, he could still talk, and he felt ashamed to be carried by Qin Tian like this, "Old man, why are you arresting me?"

"Ma Zheng, you are a smart person, why bother to ask again? Let me tell you, you assumed that what you did in the city has already been revealed, and now you honestly hand over the chalcedony, the Zhuge family will not embarrass you, as for the government. How to deal with you, an imperial convict, is not the business of our Zhuge family."

Hearing what Qin Tian said, Ma Zheng suddenly became suspicious. How could Zhuge's family know what happened in Jiading City?The time in the past is not long, and there are still people who endorsed it, but they still failed to escape the eyes and ears of the Zhuge family. The power of the Zhuge family in Bashu is too surprising.

But Zhuge's family was still greedy for those chalcedony, which made Ma Zheng feel funny, and he even saw the unnatural brilliance in Qin Tian's eyes.

"Some low-grade chalcedony, the Zhuge family also likes it?"

"Why don't you like it? Do you think everyone has the background of your Ma family?"

"I don't know if there are other families, but at least the Zhuge family is no worse than our Ma family, old man, these chalcedony are not what you want, right?"

Maybe it was because of Qin Tian's thought that was exposed by a word, so Qin Tian threw Ma Zheng heavily to the ground, his eyes shot fire and said: "Boy, the sharp tongue will not let you escape, it will only bring you pain."

"Then you take me to see your Zhuge family members. If they want it, I will give it to them." Qin Tian's reaction made Ma Zheng confirm his guess, and at the same time, it also made Qin Tian feel Ma Zheng's intentions. Difficult.

"The Patriarch didn't tell me that I must be caught alive."

"But you have been seen by others. At least I was alive and kicking when you caught me. If you take a dead body back, guess what your Patriarch will think of you?"

"It's okay to kill you."

"Yeah, I'm just a court prisoner, a court prisoner surnamed Ma!"

The threat inside and outside Ma Zheng's words was a bit serious, and it happened to mention Qin Tian's weakness.As the Zhuge family's enshrined status, killing the court officials is a matter of course, and it can even be said to be a righteous act. Even if Ma Zheng has the title of General Yiwei, it will not be too serious if he is killed by Qin Tian. Zhuge's family's face Still able to keep Qin Tian down.

But the identity of Ma Daoming's adopted son is a little sensitive among the rich and noble families.

Since the founding of the Han Empire, there has been constant competition among the older groups of noble families, and no matter whether this competition is true or not, at least there is a bottom line that no one will do it.Sending subordinates to kill each other's offspring would never be touched by any old wealthy family, because it may lead to mutual killing among wealthy families, and the people who will benefit in the end must be the new generation of wealthy families and the royal family.

The so-called balance is to know the bottom line. The Zhuge family is a veteran wealthy family, and the Ma family is even more so. Therefore, the Zhuge family can arrest Ma Zheng and hand it over to the court. It is up to the Ma family to make moves to rescue Ma Zheng. Ma Zheng was punished by the court. , that is the Ma family's lack of kung fu, and has nothing to do with the Zhuge family.

But if Qin Tian killed Ma Zheng knowing Ma Zheng's identity, and in private, then this incident may lead to serious conflicts between the Ma family and the Zhuge family!
It's not just a matter of human life, it involves the face of a rich and noble family, and it also involves the rules that a large number of old rich and noble families do not become.

Zhuge family can kill Ma Zheng privately today, but can they kill Zhao Shuying privately tomorrow?If this situation is allowed to spread uncontrollably, will people take advantage of it and pretend to be this or that family to attack the old wealthy nobles?

The embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest. Sometimes these seemingly impossible rules are the key points that support the continued existence of a system.

Ma Zheng knew these ways very well, so he turned a blind eye to Qin Tian's threats, and even seized on Qin Tian's exposed selfishness, and threatened Qin Tian in turn.

To be honest, the feeling of being threatened by Ma Zheng was very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that Qin Tian smashed the big rock around him with a slap.

The splashed gravel pulled out a few shallow grooves of blood on Ma Zheng's face, but on the contrary, the blood in his whole body trembled and he recovered.

"Don't try to escape, if the old man misses in the process of chasing you, there will be no problem at all."

In fact, without Qin Tian's warning, Ma Zheng would not have escaped at this time, because he had already seen a carriage, the carriage wrapped in a pitch-black tarpaulin, and a group of warriors wearing the clothes of Ma's guards.

Still an old acquaintance, Bo Dingtian, the sword in the cloud Bo Dingtian.

"Hi."

Ma Zheng waved at Bo Dingtian with a smile all over his face, making Bo Dingtian a little stunned, he didn't really have much impression of Ma Zheng.It's really rare that a prisoner can be so happy.

"Let's go, you'd better forget what happened just now, otherwise I won't give you good fruit to eat."

This time Qin Tian didn't carry Ma Zheng away, after all there were so many people, he still had to give Ma Zheng some face, besides, it was absolutely impossible for Ma Zheng to get away now, even if he had wings in his ribs.

"Where are you taking me? It's not really going to be given to the government, what a pity."

Ma Zheng was still smiling, this smile made Qin Tian very unhappy.
