() Sure enough, the people ambush in the forest are trying to harm us!This idea immediately flashed through Ma Chao's mind, and he jumped up from the mat immediately, the saber at his waist was also out of its sheath.Obviously, as long as those people make any changes, Ma Chao will act first and kill all the people here.

And this added to the oppressive atmosphere in the hall.But at this moment, Ma Yue, one of the parties involved, suddenly looked up and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha...hahahaha..."

"You...what are you laughing at?" Mr. Meng was a little terrified by Ma Yue's unscrupulous laughter, but he still said sternly: "At this point, you still dare to laugh, and you will cry later when."

"Haha, I laugh at you for underestimating my Ma Yue's mind? Do you think I will only come here with my elder brother?" When he said this, Ma Yue gave Ma Chao a calm look, and finally So that the latter did not kill immediately.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Lie frowned suddenly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"This is Long County. My father is the Sima in the army here. Now there are thousands of elite soldiers under his command. What do you think I mean?" This place will be razed to the ground, and none of you... can survive!" When Ma Yue said the word "you", Ma Yue's eyes flicked over everyone's faces, making everyone feel a burst of shock, as if those soldiers and horses had rushed to the ground. Entering the museum is average.

"Don't you use such words to threaten us, we are not frightened! Your father, Ma Shoucheng, may not have the guts to privately mobilize the army to deal with us!" Lin Lie retorted without thinking about it. .

"Really? Then you guys give it a try! But don't say I didn't warn you, my elder brother Ma Mengqi is not easy to mess with." Ma Yue still sat on the seat very relaxedly, without any panic .

"Ma Mengqi?" At this moment, everyone turned their attention to the boy who had stood up and stared at them fiercely.Just now they only knew that this person was one of Ma Yue's followers, but only then did they realize that the aggressive aura exuded from this person was not something ordinary people could have at all.

Moreover, with the knowledge of these people, they have also heard of Ma Chao's bravery.Leaving aside some past reputations, the deeds of Ma Chao single-handedly entering the Qiang formation a few months ago and beheading the enemy chieftain were enough to make them fearful.At this time, it was discovered that the person following the horse was such a strong man, and everyone was even more excited.

"How many people have you ambushed in the woods? Fifty, or a hundred? Indeed, with their large numbers, I don't think it will be easy to protect themselves once they get in. But there is one thing I think you should understand, that is Before these ambush soldiers come in, my brother is capable enough to kill you all!" Ma Yue picked up a piece of golden-roasted rabbit meat and chewed it slowly, as if he was at the moment It's not like a dangerous place.

Seeing that everyone from Lin Lie and below showed fear on their faces, Ma Yue knew that they no longer dared to take any risky actions.But in order to completely crush their fluke mentality, he had to add a few more words: "And in this way, your family and my Ma family will become deadly enemies. My father will never let you guys kill him You are from a family with a son, and he happens to have soldiers in his hands. What do you think will happen? Just because of your momentary pleasure, your family will suffer catastrophe. No matter how difficult it is to gain a foothold in Xiliang."

These words made everyone even more terrified. In this cold winter night, the backs of the seven people were sweating.After a while, Lin Lie said in a somewhat dry voice: "Nephew Ma Shi is right, we were just talking out of anger just now, don't take it seriously. You and I are still related by marriage, how could we Are you really going to kill me?"

"This is the best, but since this is the case, why do you still have to lay down your hands in the woods outside?"

"This...they just want to protect the safety of us people. After all, the world is not peaceful now, so there is nothing wrong with being careful." Lin Lie quickly explained.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved." Ma Yue didn't dwell on this issue any more, just smiled: "Then can we have a good talk about the food issue next?"

"Okay, let's talk about the food issue." Lin Lie replied as he wiped the sweat from his brow.This time he was really scared, because although Ma Chao hadn't spoken before, the pressure on them was so great that they didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.

However, the temporary advantage could not change the original intention of these families. When the topic returned to the matter of food, their attitude became tough again, especially the young master of the Meng family, who said bluntly: "Even if you have the official document of the prefect's mansion Ling Xin, we can't change the established policy of the imperial court! We have already paid taxes and grains on time, and if we want us to pay a large amount of grain, I'm afraid it won't work."

"That's right, there is no escape from the word of reason in the world. Even the government must act according to the rules. Even if you have the support of the eunuch, our family will not have nothing to rely on. It will be a big deal to go to Luoyang to file a lawsuit!" The young man in white also said road.

"Young master, do you dare to ask your name?" Ma Yue did not rush to refute them, but suddenly asked everyone's names in his spare time.

"My name is Zhang Yuan, from Wuwei County." The young man in white said proudly.The Wuwei Zhang family is also a big family in Xiliang, enough to stand against the Lin family.Then several others also reported their names, they were all descendants of Xiliangzhou's middle-aged families, Hanyang Mengyu, Hanyang Gufeng, Zhangye Tongxun, Zhangye Zhouliang, Longxi Li He, and Wuwei's Lin Lie.These seven people represent the aristocratic families in the Xiliang area, and they can almost be regarded as the largest power in Xiliang folk.

They reported their names one by one. They thought that Ma Yue would be surprised, and then flinched a little, but they were very surprised. After hearing their self-reported family names, Ma Yue was still as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't even have a face. It made them feel a little unhappy to change.

"Sure enough, they are all descended from famous families. No wonder you have such confidence. You must have a lot of Austrian aid in the court. You are confident that if you really bring the lawsuit to Luoyang, you will not lose? This is the reason for your attitude. , Am I right?" Ma Yue asked after taking a sip of wine and moistening his throat.

"Since you already know it all, why bother to say it again?" The young masters said very complacently, "It's still too late for you to change your mind."

"Hey, I'm really self-righteous to the extreme, and I don't even think about how I can take them if I have no way to deal with it?" Ma Yue said disdainfully in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "Then you are not afraid of this. The imperial army was unable to quell the Qiang rebellion because of lack of food? You must know that the unlucky ones are yourselves."

"That's not necessarily true." Gu Feng, who was dressed in black and looked a bit sinister, said: "Our family has a history of more than a hundred years in Xiliang, and the relationship with other ethnic groups is very good. Even if the Qiang people really If you win this place, you won’t embarrass us.”

Ma Yue nodded, and then looked at the crowd: "I think, you all think so too?"

Everyone didn't speak, but gave Ma Yue an acquiesce, which made him furious, clenched his fists secretly, and then swallowed the swear words: "Ridiculous! You guys would have such thoughts, It's just ridiculous!"

"What absurdity? Our families have been rooted in Xiliang for many years, how can you, a humble child, know that!" Lin Lie said disdainfully.

"There are a few things I want to ask you." Ma Yue shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the ancient seal: "Hanyang ancient family, as far as I know, your ancient family doesn't have many acres in the local area, and I haven't heard that the ancient family is in the area. There are high-ranking officials in the court, but you can still become the richest households in the area, why?"

Before Gu Feng could answer, Ma Yue had already given the answer himself: "Because you have monopolized the right to buy horses from the Qiang people. You can buy horses from the Qiang people at a very low price, and then transport them to In the Central Plains area, make huge profits again, am I right?"

"Not bad." Gu Feng nodded.

"Okay. And your Zhang family... What foreigners need most is iron and cloth. Your Zhang family relies on this huge wealth accumulated. Am I right?" Ma Yue said and looked at Zhang Yuan again.

Zhang Yuan nodded without denying it.After that, Ma Yue said the same thing to the other five people, pointing out that their family's ability to have such a large influence in Xiliang is mostly due to the monopoly of certain items.Although everyone felt that he must have intentions in saying this, they still admitted it all.Because this is an open secret locally, there is no need to hide it.

When Ma Yue saw that they all approved his words, the corners of his mouth raised: "Then do you know that everything your family has done violates the laws of my big man?" He raised his voice sharply at the last sentence. As soon as the voice was heard, his complexion also sank, and there was a deterrent force coming out of him, which made the children of the seven aristocratic families shudder, as if they felt that something was wrong!

"Whether it's horses or salt, it's something that the imperial court specializes in buying, but you are lucky, relying on your family background to openly trade illegally. And ironware, do you know what will happen to those foreigners once they get ironware? They will use these for Build weapons, and then use them to plunder the border of our great Han! Tell yourself, what is the difference between what your families do, and what is the difference between supporting and collaborating with the enemy? If I report all these things, the Seven Great Aristocratic Families will be killed in an instant. Time is about to turn into dust!" Ma Yue's words had revealed a hint of murderous intent, making the scene a little tense again.
