Indeed, as Su Mu deduced earlier, Ma Quan had received instructions from Yang Zilie, Liu Konghe, and Jing Ting in advance to let Wu Wu and others burn the armory, and then count the deficit of Ku Yin in the burned ordnance .As for Su Mu, no matter whether he is dead or alive, the crime of fire should be blamed on him.

Anyway, when the time comes, Wu Wu, the Lu family brothers and Yuan Bao will kill him with one word.

Since it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, then simply kill his life.

Since Ma Quan met Su Mu, he had a lot of troubles, and was kicked out of the inspection department's deputy inspector. Not to mention, the last time he was scalded by Su Mu in Banbidian, his face was disfigured.

Ma Quan hated him to the core.

Tonight, he has been waiting in the yamen for news from the armory, his eyes fixed on this direction all the time.

But when it was time, there were a few bang bang gunshots, and then a cluster of fireworks rose into the night sky.

Only at this time did he feel that something was wrong, but he still held back, and there was no such thing as a fluke in his heart.

Later, there was another light on the armory, but it was not a fire, but... a light.

Only now did Ma Quan realize that something was wrong, so he mobilized his soldiers and horses to kill him.

As soon as he saw Su Mu's smiling face, as soon as he saw Wu Wu and others lying dead on the ground, and as soon as he saw the armory full of people, Ma Quan's heart suddenly turned cold.

He also couldn't figure out where Su Mu had mobilized so many troops.

However, he also knew in his heart that the conspiracy had been exposed.

Ma Quan is also a ruthless person, with a fierce gleam in his eyes, he is about to step forward and make a move.

He already had an idea in his mind: don't care what the background of this group of people is, let's fight first.At that time, they will form a group, and then set a fire in disorder, and directly put the crime of fire on Mei and the others.When the time comes, kill Mei Fugui, burn the arsenal, and kill the rabbits, killing two birds with one stone.

"Ma Quan, you dare to come to the armory." Su Mu asked with a smile.

Ma Quan yelled: "Mei Fugui colluded with outsiders, murdered the guards, plotted wrongdoing, and rebelled together. People come and kill them. Mei Fugui, if you are sensible, you will be arrested... Ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

When it comes to real martial arts, Su Mu may not be Ma Quan's opponent.But after staying in Xiyuan for such a long time, Su Mu's hands and feet were extremely flexible, this slap flashed out, Ma Quan was caught off guard for a moment, and was slapped with stares in his eyes.

This was the second time he was slapped by Su Mu, and a mouthful of blood almost gushed out of his throat.

Just as he was about to draw his sword to commit an attack, Su Mu yelled sharply: "Ma Quan, you are a lowly subordinate, and you don't even know who is standing here. You have offended Mr. Wu, so hurry up and kneel down to plead guilty."

It turned out that when Su Mu saw the fierce light in Ma Quan's eyes, he knew that this guy was going to take risks, so he preemptively struck him and gave him a ruthless blow.

Then he yelled at the salt soldiers: "The push officer, Mr. Wu, is handling the case in the armory. Some villains intend to set fire to the ordnance. Get up and go. Burn the ordnance and punish it with arson!"

Following Su Mu's finger, everyone looked over and saw a seven-rank court official sitting in the duty room.

I saw corpses all over the ground, and I saw torches everywhere.If you move your hands, you really can't guarantee to light something.At that time, I really can't tell.

At the moment, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to make any changes.

Ma Quan was still furious, shouting repeatedly: "Do it, do it."

However, the status of military households in the Ming Dynasty was humble, and in their eyes, a court official of the seventh rank was simply the sky above their heads, so how dare they mess around.

The scene suddenly became quiet, only the sound of the torches burning, and Ma Quan's hoarse cry.

At this moment, Officer Wu came out carrying a chair, sat directly at the gate, and asked Ma Quan coldly, "Who are you?"

Ma Quan sneered: "I am Ma Quan, the envoy of the Changlu Salt Transport Division, who are you, who dare to lead someone to capture the armory of our Salt Division?"

Officer Wu Tui said disdainfully: "A little subordinate, talking to my lord, actually stands and kneels!"

Ma Quan was stunned, and then remembered the difference between officials and people. With his status, he is not qualified to stand up and speak when he meets an official appointed by the court.But if you kneel down, you won't be able to get the armory back, and you won't be able to fish in troubled waters and start a fire.

Originally, according to his temperament, he wanted to kill him directly.

But when the subordinates saw this seventh-rank official master, they felt timid in their hearts, and it was impossible to fight with themselves.

What happened today is already irreversible, and when I see Mr. Liu, Mr. Jing and Mr. Yang, I don't know how to explain it?

Yang Tongzhi is fine, he is his confidant after all; Liu Shitong has a high status and will not do anything to me; but Deputy Jing is a ruthless one, will he let me go Ma Quan?

Thinking of this serious consequence, Ma Quan stood there in a daze, the sweat on his forehead oozing out like a stream and falling to the ground.

Seeing that Mr. Wu came out, he only coughed and calmed down the scene. As his relative, Zong Zhen was also very proud, thinking: This is the majesty of a master, this is the style of a civil servant!Thanks to Master Su who married his younger sister to his second son back then, Zongzhen is where he is today.In just two days, Zong's name will spread throughout Cangzhou.No...Master Su is a juror, and he will be an official in the future. With his methods, he will probably be even bigger than Mr. Wu in the future.Speaking of which, Master Su is really a noble person in my Zongzhen's life!

Seeing Ma Quan still standing there dumbfounded, Zong Zhen shouted: "Ma Quan, you are so bold, kneel down and speak!"

Ma Quan was completely stupid.

Wu Tuiguan waved his hand: "I have always refused to talk to this kind of lowly villain. Saying one more word is a dirty mouth. Let him go out!"

"Yes!" Zong Zhen and several soldiers responded with a bang, and were about to strike.

Only then did Ma Quan wake up, knowing that he couldn't control what happened today, and he had to report it to the three adults as soon as possible.

Immediately, he gave Su Mu a bitter look, and without talking nonsense, turned around, hugged his head, and ran away in a hurry.

When Ma Quan ran away, the other thousands of salt soldiers had no idea, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Therefore, with the armory gate as the boundary, the two sides confronted each other.

The night wind picked up violently, it was already dawn, and the weather was cold.Wu Tuiguan worked there, always maintaining a straight waist.

Su Mu watched from the side and nodded in his heart: Although I am a quasi-old man, I am pedantic, but I am awe-inspiring.When ordinary bureaucrats encounter such troublesome things, most of them will go around.Otherwise, if one is not good, you will sink yourself into it.Leading troops across regions to capture other people's arsenals, even if they find evidence, they will inevitably be punished by the officials, which will also be a stain on their future career.But for the so-called righteousness of heaven and earth in his heart, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and did it.

This is probably the character of the ancient scholar-officials!

Gou benefits the life and death of the country, so why avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?

For some reason, Su Mu smiled, but felt a little embarrassed in his heart: I really went too far to plot against an honest person.
