Chapter 410 The strong man cuts off his wrist! (Please subscribe)

The next day.

The cockcrow has not yet come.

There was silence in Shanfu County.

And in this quiet street, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came out.

The footsteps approached from far away, and finally, accompanied by heavy breathing, they entered a high door.

In a bedroom.

The owner of the house is sleeping soundly.

Next to him were two young-looking women.

Boom!dong dong!

There was a sudden knock on the door.

And the sound is getting louder and louder.

More and more urgent.

at last.

Wu Ma Shu, who was still sleeping soundly, woke up, with a hint of annoyance and anger in his eyes.

"It's so early in the morning, why are you knocking?" He yelled at the door, and then he seemed to think of something. He was still drowsy at first, but he suddenly became energetic, with a solemn look in his eyes. He sat up from the couch suddenly and faced the door. He said in a deep voice: "Go to the lobby and wait for me. I'll be right over."

Then he got up and dressed directly.

soon.

Wu Ma Shu appeared in the lobby disheveled. He was obviously very impatient and had not tidied up at all. He went to the lobby, closed the door, and while arranging his clothes, he said in a cold voice: "Go ahead, again." What happened? What went wrong? Have other officials been notified?"

Wu Ma Shu asked many questions in succession.

Jiacheng of the Wuma family shook his head with a wry smile.

He said in a deep voice: "Parents, something happened not in the county this time, but in Dang County."

"Fan Mu, who came down from Dang County to investigate the case, encountered a group of unknown thieves on the road. The specific identity of the thieves was unknown, but there were heavy casualties. Fan Mu's whereabouts are currently unknown, and when I came back from inquiring about the information, I have vaguely heard rumors that this is the work of the nobles of Wei."

"If something really happened to Fan Mu, it would be a big deal."

Jiacheng spoke anxiously.

When he heard the news, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground. It took him a long time to recover. When he thought about the consequences if Fan Mu was really dead, he couldn't believe it. This was not a shipwreck, but It was a direct slap in Qin Ting's face. No matter how perfect their cover-up was, they might not be able to escape death.

Qin Ting's anger was completely unreasonable.

Hear the words.

Wu Ma Shu was stunned for a moment.

Then he suddenly looked at Jiacheng, his pupils tightening even more. He stared at Jiacheng, as if he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a long time, he said with a look of shock and anger: "What did you say? Something happened to Fan Mu." Yes? Who told you? Where did you get the news? "

Wu Ma Shu is now completely awake.

Jiacheng smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said: "Parents, this is the news that has just been passed down from the county. I'm afraid that by daybreak, the news will be spread directly to the whole city. Parents, what should we do now? That's the imperial court. Officials sent under me, if something really happens, can we still escape?"

Jiacheng's eyes were full of worry.

puff.

There are no signs.

Wu Ma Shu collapsed directly to the ground.

He opened his mouth, only to feel darkness in front of him.

He knew it was over.

It's all over.

No matter how well they do, they can't escape the wrath of the court.

Regardless of whether Fan Mu died in the end, as long as it was confirmed that someone had done something to Fan Mu, this matter would not be a big deal.

Wu Ma Shu's face showed panic for the first time.

Jiacheng shouted several times before Wu Ma Shu came to his senses.

He just sat on the cold ground, his face turned pale, and said hurriedly: "Quickly, send someone to inform the county magistrate, county lieutenant and others, and ask them to come home immediately. I have something important to discuss with them. The sooner the better." Well, the sooner the better!”

to the end.

Wu Ma Shu almost roared.

He could no longer control his emotions.

When Jiacheng heard what Wu Ma Shu said, he didn't dare to delay at all and ran out of the house quickly.

Wu Ma Shu was still sitting on the ground.

With a look of horror on his face, he said angrily: "Who did it? They clearly wanted to kill us."

"Damn it, damn it all!"

"If Fan Mu dies and the court is furious, how can I escape?"

"Zhang Liang!"

In an instant, Wu Ma Shu thought of the reason and understood it all at once. He said angrily: "Yes, it was Zhang Liang. He was the one who harmed me. If he hadn't made this suggestion, how could we have taken the risk? And his Leaving secretly has nothing to do with what happened this time."

"Even that was his purpose."

"He had no intention of helping us out."

"He wants my life!"

"I want the lives of all the officials in our Shanfu County."

"Zhang Liang, you are so cruel."

"How did I, Wu Ma Shu, offend you?"

"For you to make such a calculation?!"

"what?!"

Wu Ma Shu shouted angrily.

His expression was completely hysterical.

He knew very well the impact of this incident, and he also knew that it was really over.

Fan Mu came down to investigate, and they could still fool Qin Ting. If they completely angered Qin Ting and transferred the four thousand soldiers and asked Meng Yi to come, then their so-called face would be completely worthless.

These people don't care about their face, and they even wish that they and others could take credit for their achievements.

He is now convinced that this matter is closely related to Zhang Liang.

Only Zhang Liang could do such a cruel thing.

Zhang Liang never thought about them. All he wanted was to completely drag them down, make them the target of public criticism, make them the focus of the world's attention, and then use these things to make a name for himself and attack Qin Ting's reputation.

They were all fooled!

Wu Ma Shu's mind is extremely active now.

He slowly got up from the ground, no longer caring about adjusting his clothes, and sat directly on the table, waiting anxiously for other officials to arrive.

Not long after.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

With the sound of pushing the door open, Li Lin and others quickly entered the house.

Their expressions were extremely grim.

He had obviously heard the news, and his expression was extremely ferocious.

Wu Ma Shu glanced at everyone present, without hiding his uneasiness at all, and said in a hoarse voice: "You have all heard the news, right? We were all fooled by Zhang Liang, and the suggestions he gave us were all wrong from beginning to end. No good intentions."

"He wants us dead!"

"All this was ordered by Zhang Liang."

"He just wants to kill us to attack Qin Ting's prestige in Guandong."

"Now that something happens to Fan Mu, whether he is dead or not, it will cause an uproar in the world, and will also arouse the anger of the court. When the court comes to investigate strictly, the cover-up we did cannot be hidden at all. We really want to do it this time Fell!"

Shu Ma's voice was urgent.

He hasn't been this eager in a long time.

But there was nothing he could do. Human life is not only about the heavens but also about oneself.

How could he not be anxious?

Li Lin and others' faces were as gloomy as water.

They were still confused about the situation at first, but after hearing Wu Ma Shu's words, they immediately agreed. Zhang was the only one who could react so quickly, even secretly mobilize so many people, and dare to directly attack Qin Ting officials. These damn old aristocrats.

Except them.

There is no way anyone in Dang County can do it.

And it happened so suddenly, on the day Fan Mu set out, something happened.

If you say it has nothing to do with Zhang Liang, no one will believe it.

Li Lin took a deep breath, suppressed the fear and panic in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Things have already happened. Whether Fan Mu is dead or not, we are destined to be in disaster."

"Qin Ting will not give up."

"We have to find a way out of this."

"otherwise."

"We are really mortal!"

"Furthermore, with the level of cruelty of the Qin court, our three tribes will definitely be destroyed as well."

"Everyone, it's now time. There is no need to investigate whether Zhang Liang did it. It doesn't matter if he did it or not. Now it has happened. If we don't do something, I will wait for the court to get angry. We simply can’t bear it, and no one from the top to bottom of Dang County will protect us.”

"I don't even dare to protect it!"

"Now we urgently need to save ourselves."

"If we can't figure out a way in these days, we will really die!"

Li Lin said angrily.

Hearing other people accusing Zhang Liang, he was also angry and laughed. When did it happen? What else are you thinking about? Even if they knew it was Zhang Liang who did it, what could they do? Zhang Liang and his men have already run away, can they still be captured?

Hear the words.

The others' expressions froze.

They all kept silent and had nothing to say.

Wu Ma Shu took a deep breath to calm down as much as possible. He looked at Li Lin and said in a deep voice: "Xian Cheng, you are the most knowledgeable and well-informed person in the county. You also came up with the solution before. For this time Can you think of any solution to this problem?"

Others also looked over.

Li Lin had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Method?

He would like to think about it.

But it’s really not true. The arms can’t twist the thighs.

What's more, it's Qin Ting's thigh.

Just as Li Lin was stamping his feet anxiously, he suddenly saw someone.

his colleagues.

Immediately, he thought of a political order issued by Qin Ting before, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes.

He swallowed his dry saliva and said in a deep voice: "Maybe there is a way, but this way is not something I came up with, but was provided by Qin Ting."

Hear the words.

The others looked happy.

Then there was a hint of surprise on his face.

Will Qin Ting think of a solution for them? This is impossible.

Wu Ma Shu asked: "Xian Cheng, what time has it been and you are still hesitating about it? Just tell me what the solution is."

Others also echoed.

Li Lin closed his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "Do you still remember the decree issued by the Qin court some time ago? One of them said that local governments should hand over all economic-related political affairs to one of the county officials. And this is what we have The only way."

"Let this official resist everything!"

"I don't know whether it will succeed or not in the end, but this is the only solution I can think of."

After listening to Li Lin's words, Wu Ma Shu and others frowned.

They thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed a relevant description in the order issued by Qin Ting, but no one cared about it at the time, and they did not want to obey it at all. After all, economic power, such an important power, has countless riches and water, and everyone wants to get involved. How could he possibly think of handing over what he has in his hands?

And if you leave it in the hands of one person, doesn't this make you subject to control?

Now that I heard Li Lin mention it again, I reacted belatedly.

Wu Ma Shu said solemnly: "According to what the county magistrate said, the Qin court did not actually want to kill us all. It just wanted to do some economic rectification, so it took the initiative to propose a solution. If we really follow the court's instructions, then it will be It means that everything that happens can be blamed on one person."

"The rest of us are not responsible for the economy, so we are just guilty of 'ignoring' on this!"

Speaking of which.

Wu Ma Shu looked happy.

If it really happens, it's indeed a good idea.

The others looked at each other and couldn't help but look happy, but then their expressions became slightly grim, because according to Li Lin's suggestion, someone among them was destined to take over everything, and who would be willing to do it alone? Carrying such a big disaster?

This is really going to kill the clan.

Regarding other people's concerns, Wu Ma Shu looked calm.

This kind of thing would never happen to him.

However, he would not take the initiative to cause trouble. Instead, he looked directly at Li Lin and asked, "Xian Cheng, in your opinion, who in our county is qualified?"

Others also looked over nervously.

His eyes were full of anxiety.

Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not answer the question. He smiled and said: "This kind of matter is related to everyone's life and death. How can I, Li Lin, decide it alone? As the head of a county, the county magistrate naturally still has to You make the decision."

Li Lin didn't want to offend other officials.

See this.

Wu Ma Shu's eyelids twitched slightly.

He cursed Li Lin secretly in his heart, and smiled kindly on his face. Then he moved his eyes away from Li Lin and fell on the other people in the room. Every time his eyes fell on someone in the room, that person couldn't help but feel... For a moment, they all looked fawning and flattering.

Wu Ma Shu looked proud.

But he also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Wu Ma Shu said in a deep voice: "The current situation is urgent and there is no room for detailed discussion."

"Those who can fight against trouble must have an understanding of economic matters. Otherwise, even if they are pushed out, the people sent by the imperial court will not believe it. Moreover, since this person has shouldered so many things for us, we will not If you treat him badly, his clan will be properly resettled when the time comes, and they will never fall into the hands of the imperial court."

"In addition, this person must keep his mouth shut and cannot confess us."

"I know you don't want to."

"But the situation has come to this. Only the strong men can cut off their arms and tails to survive."

"Otherwise we will all die. Not only will the wealth we have worked so hard to accumulate be robbed, but the entire clan will also die. There will even be no one to collect our bones and build a cemetery for us in the future. I, Wu Ma Shu, will do the same. I can’t bear it, but the situation is stronger than the person, and sometimes I have to make a choice.”

"People will definitely push someone out."

"As for who it is, I won't tell you exactly who it is. You can register on your own."

"We will make separate statistics at that time."

Done.

Wu Ma Shu shouted out the door: "Come here, go get a piece of fine cloth."

Not a moment.

Everyone had a piece of cloth in their hands, just touching the smooth texture, but their faces were extremely ugly. They looked around from time to time, trying to see some clues from other people's faces, so as to provide direction for their next writing.

I also secretly prayed in my heart that this person was not me.

after a little while.

The statistical results are out.

The people who were counted were somewhat unexpected.

Not anyone else.

It was Li Lin who made the suggestion.

　It’s almost time to rest. I’ll start updating two or three times tomorrow. I’ll basically finish it on the 20th, with more than 100,000 words.
