After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 62 Solution
If it weren't for the viciousness bursting out of Ma San's eyes that was so real, Yu Jia would have thought he was just acting on occasion.

"You are brave!" Huang Long scolded.

Li Yanzhao is the emperor's son. The current third prince was actually asked in public by an occupying Yi Cheng who had the right to take care of him?
Either he has the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard, or he has a background.

Li Yanzhao was the third-rank Zhennan general. According to the Zhou Dynasty's system of divided civil and military officials, there was really nothing he could do against Ma San.

Ma San also relies on this to be so rampant.

Yu Jia looked at Li Yanzhao, and the latter's face was so gloomy that he could drop water.

"Ma San, everyone gets the stolen goods, and you have no excuses to prove that you are responsible for such crimes, right?"

"I didn't admit it!" Ma San laughed arrogantly.

"I hold sacrifices to comply with the people's wishes. I also want our fishermen to return home with a full harvest. Why am I wrong?"

Yu Jia was really angry, "You used the name of sacrifice to amass money and murder people's lives. How can you say that you are wrong?"

How could there be such a shameless person?
"Making money? They took the money voluntarily. As for the killings you mentioned, they were voluntarily kidnapped and thrown into the sea voluntarily. What does that have to do with me?"

Ma San shouted sternly: "It's you, General. I'm not a southern barbarian. You can't hit me, can you?"

Li Yanzhao was furious. He, the majestic general of Zhennan and the third prince of the current dynasty, was actually silenced by a small postmaster.

"Come here, tie up this arrogant kid and send him to Haitang Prefecture to await trial!"

Li Yanzhao is a military general and cannot control these small officials, but there are people who can.

"Wait a minute!" Ma San took out a finely crafted and crystal clear jade ring from his arms.

"This is a gift from the Emperor. Seeing this is like seeing Your Majesty, and you won't kneel down!"

The people on the side knelt down one after another and shouted long live the emperor!
Yu Jia was confused. If you can just take out an object and call it a gift from the emperor, do you think someone else is a three-year-old?
Li Yanzhao looked ugly and stared at the jade finger.

Seeing his expression, Ma San couldn't help but feel proud.

"General, oh no."

"Third Prince, you have spent much more time with His Majesty and His Majesty than us little people. Why don't you see if it is His Majesty's personal belongings?"

All items used by the royal family must have the word "imperial" engraved on them. Since Ma San dared to say this, no one doubted the authenticity.

After all, who would take a look at something that can be seen at a glance?
Yu Jia and others were dumbfounded. They originally thought that this was all about Ma San, and it was a certainty that he would be brought to justice.

The worst case scenario is a melee with Ma San's men. They are all men who have been on the battlefield and killed people. How can they still be afraid of him?

Who knew there would be another incident?

"How come you have something gifted by your father?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Hearing Li Yanzhao ask this, Ma San laughed arrogantly, put away the ring in his hand and said.

"In the Battle of the Hills, I had the ability to protect the troops. The Emperor not only gave me a jade ring, but also a handwriting. No matter what I committed, I would be exempted from responsibility!"

Li Yanzhao had a calm expression on his face, but there was a huge wave of panic in his heart. His father and his brothers had already mentioned this.

The "Battle of the Hills" was not smooth sailing as later generations know it, but was full of thorns.

At that time, all of Li Guoli's personal bodyguards died on the battlefield, except for one soldier who, fearless of life and death, carried the injured man from the hills to the village and hid him.

The road in between is twenty miles long.

Later, Li Guoli was grateful for Xiao Bing's life-saving grace. Not only did he give him personal belongings and a handwriting to avoid death, he also allowed him to become a minor official in his hometown and enjoy his old age in peace.

This soldier must be Ma San in front of him.

Li Guoli never expected that once he gained power, the small soldier who was not afraid of life and death would actually start exploiting the villagers, enriching themselves and killing people.

"Hmph, I have heard my father talk about this since I was a child, but the person who has the ability to protect me is not a shameless person like you!" Li Yanzhao shouted loudly, and then ordered his soldiers to arrest Ma San.

Ma San saw that Li Yanzhao dared not to believe him, "Li Yanzhao, you don't believe me?"

"I want to meet the saint, I want to meet the saint, and I want to see how the Li family treats his benefactor. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of everyone in the world!"

With such a loud tone, Yu Jia got Li Yanzhao's order, jumped up immediately, and raised his fist towards the fat and big-eared Ma San in front of him.

Suddenly, Ma San's screams were earth-shattering.

Seeing Ma San's miserable state, the government officials at the inn immediately surrendered.

Wu Kui kicked Tian Shun, "Grandma, you don't have any backbone, get up and resist!"

This was a good time, except for Yu Jia, everyone else found it unsatisfactory.

Back at the inn, Li Yanzhao called Haitang Prefecture over. When he heard that Ma Sandu had been thrown into prison, he admitted his guilt before Li Yanzhao asked.

It turns out that Ma San didn't dare to do this at first, and he was still a diligent Yi Cheng.

It's just that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he can't resist the temptation of power and money, so he gradually loses himself.

Thinking about it, a little Yi Cheng would not dare to be so arrogant even if he had a decree from the emperor to avoid death. It turned out that there were people behind him.

Li Yanzhao didn't intend to make the matter a big deal, but just handed over the prefecture and Masan to the higher-level capital.

After Yu Jia heard about it, she was indignant. She immediately found Li Yanzhao and asked him why he didn't dig deeper.

"How else to dig?"

This matter involves the emperor. In the end, won’t the emperor be slapped in the face?
Yu Jia suddenly realized, "General, do you think what Ma San said is true?"

Li Yanzhao nodded and admitted the matter.

"Aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame? After all, Ma San was promoted by him!"

Huang Long beside him couldn't help but ask, but Li Yanzhao didn't answer. He just asked them to pack their things and set off quickly.

After leaving the room, Huang Long still pulled Yu Jia to discuss, and Yu Jia put his index finger on his lips.

Even if the jade ring and the oracle were presented to the emperor, he would not admit it.

One hundred thousand people were sacrificed in the "Battle of the Hills", which was the failure of Li Guoli's political career. How could he let these things remind everyone of what happened back then?

Ma San kept shouting in prison, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

"Master, Ma San took out the gift given by the emperor and challenged the third prince in court!" The man in black knelt down respectfully.

With a "pop" sound, the tea cup hit the ground.

"Idiot! You are really looking for death!"

"Tomorrow, the case will be handed over to the capital for trial. Master, take a look."

"There's no need for Ma San to go to that place!"

The man in black on the ground was stunned for a moment, then understood, "I accept your orders!"

Li Yanzhao and others have already set off, and the personal guards have come to report.

"General, Ma San committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime, and the rest were executed for preying on the common people!"

Li Yanzhao was not surprised and said calmly: "I know!"

The Haitang Station incident came to an end, and this incident also had an impact on the official employment system in later generations.

As long as one has an official rank, both civilian and military officials can punish subordinate officials, ending the century-old system of dividing the civil and military officials in the Zhou Dynasty!
