() "Ma Sima, what are you doing? You actually sent so many troops to enforce martial law in the city, and come here to seek trouble!" Geng Bi asked sharply after seeing Ma Teng, his face There was a heavy layer of frost, obviously extremely unpleasant.

This is of course, as the chief executive of Liangzhou, under my nose, these officials below dare to do things on their own, without even talking to me, how can Geng Bi bear it gas?Because of this, Geng Bi, a short man with a stature of less than six feet, also felt condescending when facing Ma Teng, who was more than eight feet tall.

Facing this superior officer, Ma Teng did not have the usual humility this time. He just smiled lightly and said, "It's just because the matter is related to our military camp, and Lord Inspector always ignores it, so I didn't report it to you. However, The next official is not doing things on his own, I have already reported to Li Taishou, and he also agrees!"

In fact, Ma Teng looked down on Geng Bi, a senior official who was able to obtain the high position of governor by virtue of his friendship with the court servant, but in fact his ability was very average.It was only because he was in the officialdom and could not help himself that he would avoid him by three points in the past.But now, since he has made up his mind to sing against him, Ma Teng no longer has those worries, and he said this firmly, completely sweeping away his previous shrinking.

"You..." Unexpectedly, Ma Teng dared to talk to himself like this, and Geng Bi was furious.But he didn't want to lose his composure in front of others, so he forced himself to suppress his anger, and said with a cold face: "You have found a good reason. If you don't mention it, I will forget it. As a Sima in the army, But let the warehouse in the army suddenly burst into flames, what should be the crime! Also, do you know that there was an army report yesterday..." At this point, his words suddenly stopped, just because he found out that this kind of confidential fact should not be there. Said in public.

"The lower official admitted that he had made some omissions in guarding the warehouse, and he was willing to be punished. But now, the lower official thinks that the most important thing is to catch the thief first!" Ma Teng said neither overbearing nor humble.

"Even if what you said has some truth, how can you be sure that the thief is still in the city? Maybe he already left the city in the dark last night." Geng Bi asked again.

"I noticed the fire last night. I ordered people to block the four gates immediately, so the thief couldn't get out of the city no matter what. Before today, I had searched the other places in the city carefully, but there was nothing Any harvest. Now there is only this area in the west of the city that has not been searched, for the safety of my Long County, it must be investigated!"

"You..." Geng Bi couldn't say anything against it for a moment, after all, the other party had the right to do so.

But Ma Teng did not stop because of this, he continued to look at the other party and said: "And the governor has not thought about whether the fire in my city this time has something to do with what was written in the military newspaper? He found it, but there will be endless troubles. Lord Inspector, you don't want any troubles to happen in Liangzhou?"

After being told so many times by him, it was even harder for Geng Bi to refute.If he insisted on refusing to let Ma Teng send someone to search carefully, he might not be able to escape the crime of collaborating with the enemy.But Li Xiangru and other political enemies will not let go of such a great opportunity. At that time, even with the help of the court attendant, it is impossible for him to preserve his current position.

After becoming prime minister, Geng Bi finally chose the side that was most beneficial to him, and Ma Teng only let Ma Teng fulfill his wish: "In that case, then you can search. But you must take care of yourself and don't make any mistakes!" After saying this, Geng Bi left bitterly, having made up his mind that after this incident, Ma Teng must be driven out of the Liangzhou government.

But Ma Teng didn't care what the other party was thinking. With a wave of his hand, he ordered all the soldiers under his command to rush into the Ruan Mansion and start searching.Although some people from the Ruan Mansion were working in the government, after seeing that even Geng Bi couldn't stop them, they didn't dare to forcefully stop the officers and soldiers from moving.It's just that these people all stared at Ma Teng, as if they wanted to bite a piece of him off.

People in this era value face the most. Now that Ma Teng brought his soldiers to act like this, he was slapping them in the face. How could the Ruan family not feel ashamed and angry?

After some searching, Ma Teng and the others did not find anything suspicious in the Ruan's house, so they turned away under their hostility and went to the next house.And because the Ruan family was in the front, there were fewer opposition voices from the latter families when they faced the officers and soldiers. Apart from muttering a few words behind their backs, they could be regarded as cooperation.

So when the sky was getting darker, Ma Teng and the others had already searched most of the houses, and by this time they had come to an old looking house.

And in this house are Wang Feng and other horse thieves.When they discovered that the officers and soldiers were searching the surrounding rich and noble families, they vaguely felt that the situation was not good.It turns out that it is also dangerous to rely on this place where people are least likely to be suspected.But at this time, there was no other way, so he had to stay inside, ready to resist at any time.

What Wang Feng regrets most now is that after buying this house, because he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of others, he didn't build another secret room.But it's too late to do this idea now, I can only wait with my heart, I can only hope that the other party will not recognize the identity of myself and others.

When the door was knocked, the horse thieves stood up immediately, and many of them clenched their weapons tightly.Everyone cast their eyes on Wang Feng, just waiting for their boss to make a decision.And Wang Feng was also a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should continue to pretend, or it would be better to kill the officers and soldiers while they were unprepared.

After hesitating, he had no choice but to throw the question to Guo Sihuai who he trusted the most: "Fourth, what do you think?"

"Now the outside is full of officers and soldiers. If we fight out, we will die." Guo Sihuai said after pondering, "But if they let them come in so easily, it will be very bad for us. After all, we have many brothers here, But there are no old, weak, women or children, no matter how stupid the government is, they will see the problem. What's more, I have met Ma Teng and others..."

"Then what should we do? We have to come up with a decision." Wang Feng couldn't listen to the other party's analysis at this time, he only wanted Guo Sihuai to give him a suggestion.

"Both of them fail, so we have to use the last move." Guo Sihuai raised his head and said, "I'm going to meet Ma Teng."

"What? Isn't that sending sheep to the tiger's mouth?" Wang Feng immediately objected: "No, this is definitely not possible."

"Don't worry, boss, they won't do anything to me. Because we still have hostages in our hands." Guo Sihuai said as he glanced at the Lin family's father and daughter, whose hands and feet were bound and their mouths were sealed: "I'm going, It was negotiating with Ma Teng. If he still wanted to keep his future, he would not let these two hostages die in front of him."

This is already the last resort. Although Wang Feng still felt that it was too risky and the feasibility was not too high, he still nodded and said, "Fourth, it's all up to you. I know you're resourceful and eloquent, so I'll leave it to you." Go talk to them."

"Don't worry, boss, I will live up to my trust!" Guo Sihuai said, striding forward, before reaching the gate, he opened it.

At this time, the officers and soldiers waiting outside were getting impatient. If they hadn't known that the people living here were of unusual status, they might have broken into the house long ago.Now finally seeing someone answering the door and coming out, everyone's faces are very ugly, so they want to go in.Unexpectedly, the man who came out blocked their way: "Wait a minute, please bring your Sima over, I have something to say to him."

"Huh?" All the sergeants couldn't help being stunned, but they didn't dare to be tough when they saw the other party talking like this, so they had to report it.

And Ma Teng was resting not far away at this time. He had searched by himself before, and now he felt a little tired, so he sat under a tree with his two sons.Hearing someone report that someone wants to see him, Ma Teng's heart was moved, and he felt that this matter was unusual.And Ma Yue vaguely guessed who it was, and said: "Father, let me go and see with you."

"I'll go too," Ma Chao said.

"Go." Ma Teng nodded.For these two sons, he intends to cultivate them, which is the key to whether their Ma family can be glorious in the future.

When the three of them came to the door and saw clearly that the person was Guo Sihuai, their expressions changed a little: "It really is him!"

Ma Chao's reaction was the most intense. He pulled out the saber from his waist at once, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ma Yue: "Brother, wait a minute. Since he dared to show his face, he must have something to rely on. Besides, people now It's already on the chopping block, we don't need to rush to do it, let's see what he has to say."

While the two brothers were talking, Ma Teng had already walked up to Guo Sihuai: "It's you! It seems that you are indeed very courageous, and dared to hide here."

"We just wanted to die and survive, but we didn't expect to be able to hide it from Sima." Guo Sihuai smiled wryly: "I think Sima is acting with great fanfare today because of us?"

Ma Teng didn't answer, but just asked: "Do you still want to resist now? I advise you to catch them without a fight, so as not to be killed by me on the spot."

"Since I dared to show my face, I didn't think about arresting me without a fight. General Ma will not forget one thing, the daughter of the Lin family and her father are still in our hands! If you want to see the end of everything, you can let them go." Come down and attack. But I think the general is willing to come and meet me alone, so he must not want this ending?" Guo Sihuai said without fear.

Ma Teng sneered, it would be a mistake for the other party to threaten him with members of the Lin family at this time.Now, he has grasped the shortcomings of the Lin family, which is enough to restrain the other party. Is he still afraid that they will not be able to ask the crime?

Seeing Ma Teng's smile, Guo Sihuai's heart tightened, he vaguely felt that things were not all under his control.Then the situation became tense...
