The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() After hanging the three of Ma's father and son in the living room for more than half an hour, a very elegant man in thin silk clothes came late.But when he came to the hall, he didn't go in immediately, but called a servant who was waiting outside and asked, "How is it? Did those three people have any dissatisfaction inside?"

"No, the three of them are very honest. They just drank tea there and didn't even say a word." The servant replied quickly.After hearing this answer, this person's face showed even more arrogance. After nodding, he walked into the hall with airs on his shoulders. It seems that the three of the Ma family were in awe after they came to Linjiawu .

Because of his judgment, when he entered to meet Ma Teng, he didn't make any apologies for his delay, but asked indifferently: "I don't know why you guys came to my Linjiawu. ? If you want to ask us not to care about the previous incident, the three of you should go back."

Seeing that the visitor was so rude without declaring his identity, Ma Chao's eyebrows furrowed sharply.And Ma Teng was also quite unhappy, but he still suppressed his anger, and just said: "Dare you ask what your identity is, the purpose of my coming here is not to be able to tell a servant casually."

"Hmph, I'm Lin Lie. I can take care of more than half of the Lin family's affairs. Just tell me what you have." Lin Lie gave Ma Teng a very unhappy look, and then sat down on the main seat.

Ma Yue looked at this person's behavior coldly, but he was determined. Judging from the situation, the Lin family was already in ruins, and he could only rely on such arrogant and arrogant behavior to support himself.Moreover, the knowledge of the people in this family is also very average. No matter what you say, your father is also an official, and they are just civilians. How can you speak with this attitude?

"Since you can manage Linjiawu's foreign affairs, that's naturally the best. I just came here to ask you a question," Ma Teng stared at Lin Lie opposite him with lightning-like eyes, which made the latter shudder in his heart. Suddenly, he said: "You Lin family still think that you are my big man's people, how dare you collude with thieves!"

"You...what do you mean by that?" Lin Lie didn't expect the other party to speak so seriously, his body shook violently, and his original contempt changed into surprise.

"Why, don't you know what you have done yourself? My big man's law has been clearly written, but anyone who dares to use wealth to fund thieves will be regarded as an accomplice of thieves. Once found out, he will be guilty of the same crime as thieves! Countless money and food, isn't it considered a thief's wealth?" Ma Teng said, his eyes locked on the opponent's face, without a trace of relaxation.

Lin Lie's complexion changed instantly. He wanted to deny this statement on the spot, but when he got to the point of speaking, he couldn't speak again when he saw Ma Teng's domineering gaze.This time, the situation in the hall was reversed in an instant, Ma Teng took the initiative to meet the Lin family this time.

This statement was the purpose of Ma Teng and the others driving a day or two to Linjiawu.Ma Yue heard some problems from Guo Sihuai's words, and guessed that they not only used this to blackmail Ma Teng, but also attacked the Lin family.With the current power of the Lin family, there is nothing they can do about these horse thieves, only to accept the other party's blackmail, so there will be a preemptive attack this time.

Seeing Lin Lie's sudden change of color, Ma Yue became more sure that they had done something that is not allowed by the law, so he relaxed even more, and said, "You don't need to try to argue anymore, because you came to my house to blackmail The thieves have all been recruited."

"What? You took down a group of people?" After hearing this, Lin Lie's expression became even more ugly, and this sentence also proved that Ma Teng's and his conjectures were true.

Ma Yue nodded: "They are greedy. In addition to blackmailing your Lin family, they also set their minds on my Ma family. I don't even look at my father's identity. As a Sima in the army, how could he be blackmailed by them, so that We took him down on the spot. After some questioning, we found out that your Lin family had already compromised. Originally, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, we should hand over him to Lord Inspector and let him negotiate with your Lin family ...However, because your Lin family still has some friendship with my Ma family, that's why we came here every day, hoping to come up with a proper way. But judging from your attitude today, it seems that you don't treat us at all Father and son are regarded as close people, and since that is the case, there is no need to say more." After saying these words, Ma Yue stood up from the table.

Ma Teng and Ma Chao over there also stood up following his actions, as if they were about to leave.

Lin Lie panicked when he saw this, because the matter was so fast that he could hardly figure out the details, the only thing he could do now was to leave the person behind.So he hurriedly stood up, with a smile on his face, bowed, and clasped his hands to make amends and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you three, calm down your anger. It's because the affairs in Wubao are busy, so I will neglect The three of you, this is by no means not treating you as your own people... If you have anything to say, please sit down and talk about it."

Looking at the other party's arrogance and respect, and now he has completely softened, Ma Teng felt very happy.This is the first time he has taken the initiative in dealing with these wealthy people. Thinking that this is based on his second son's contingency words, he is very happy. His son has finally grown up, and he is better than his father in handling things. more in place.

With a few words, Lin Lie was settled, and Ma Yue was also very satisfied, but he didn't show any expression on his face, he just looked at Ma Teng, waiting for his father to deal with it.Ma Teng naturally knew that it was impossible for them to just walk away like this, so he turned around and said, "We are out of good intentions, but it is really chilling to be treated like this by the Lin family."

Seeing that the other party did not leave immediately, Lin Lie also heaved a sigh of relief.At this time, he no longer cared about showing off any prestige and pomp, and immediately apologized again, and then ordered his people to serve good tea and snacks for the guests to enjoy.After the three of them sat back down again, he smiled and said: "It turns out that the three of you came back in such a hurry to help my Lin family. I am really grateful. I also hope that Ma Sima can take care of this matter. Don't worry about it." It’s better to report this news.” At this time, he had lowered his posture and only called Ma Teng’s official position.

"I regard the Lin family as relatives, so naturally I don't want to see you get drunk because of this. However, in this way, if we want to keep this secret, we must get rid of those horse thieves as soon as possible. This is what I came here for. Ultimately, I hope that your Lin family can help us with this matter." Ma Teng finally explained his intention.

If it had been changed from just now, when he made this request, Lin Lie would definitely have vetoed it.But at this time, it was impossible for him to do so, but he still frowned and said, "This... I'm afraid it's a bit embarrassing. Don't misunderstand, Sima, it's not that we don't want to cooperate with the government, it's because there are still people in our family who are among the horse thieves." Hand, if we really become enemies with it, I'm afraid my brother and niece will lose their lives. Presumably you don't want such a tragedy to happen?"

"I understand your difficulties, but you also have to be considerate of my father's difficulties as an official of the court." Ma Yue said with a sigh: "Because of the previous incident, Mr. Governor has reprimanded my father several times and forced him to My father must eradicate this group of horse thieves so that I can be safe in Liangzhou. But those horse thieves are too cunning and well hidden, and the officers and soldiers can't find them. If they can't even find people , not to mention exterminating them and saving people. In this way, it will be difficult for my father to explain to Shangguan..." Although the following words were not uttered, the meaning behind it was that once that happened, the Ma family would never again Help the Lin family cover up the connection with the thief.

Lin Lie immediately heard the threatening meaning contained in his words, and his heart was filled with indignation.But he could only bear with it, because the Lin family put pressure on the governor, Geng Bi, for this matter, it could be regarded as shooting himself in the foot.Seeing his bitter look, Ma Yue said again: "I also know your difficulties, and I also believe that the strength of my Liangzhou government and army is enough to wipe out the horse thieves. So what I came here today to ask you to help is just to provide horse thieves It’s just where it is now. Come to think of it, you had a deal with them, so you should be able to know where their lair is?”

If Lin Lie still had doubts about Ma Yue's statement, now after this series of conversations, this doubt has been dispelled by him.Because every word Ma Yue pointed out that the Lin family had a private deal with the thief, it was naturally because they had sufficient evidence that they could fully believe it.

So even though he was unwilling, Lin Lie still had to answer honestly: "I understand what Ma Sima means, and our Lin family is indeed responsible for helping you find the horse thief. But...to be honest, even we don't know The horse thieves are here because they are very cautious in their work. When collecting our money and food, they only let us transport it to a designated place, and then they sent people to pick it up, and did not let our people send the food to the lair. "

Ma Yue guessed this point, otherwise, it would be impossible for a nest of winds to run across Xiliang for many years without falling.But this does not mean that there must be no trace, so he asked again: "Then where did you send the money and food? Maybe we can deduce from this location where the horse thief's current lair is."

Up to now, the Lin family has no need to hide it for the horse thief. After all, the matter is related to the life and death of their family.After a little hesitation, Lin Lie said: "Actually, when we gave the money and food to the horse thief, it was the day when we went to see Governor Geng to explain the matter. And we also transported the money and food to a distance of more than ten miles outside the city of Longxian County. It was taken away by horse thieves."

"What?" Hearing his words, the three of Ma Teng and his son almost stood up from their seats.They never thought that these horse thieves were actually near Long County, which was really surprising and unacceptable!
