Chapter 24 I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it.

Ma Di has been wary of the topics of this group of nobles from the beginning, trying not to get involved. From the moment the head of the Wu family reached out to invite the Qiang girls to come in and dance, Ma Su felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Wu Yong followed the topic of Qiang women and started talking at length in the blink of an eye. They kept talking about the threat of the Qiang people to Longxi and the current predicament of Longxi, but never mentioned the legal issues they were most concerned about.

It was not until the end that a group of people understood the situation and asked Ma Su to help save Longxi and eliminate the Qiang people for Longxi County.

Just such a few words covered up the matter of law and led the conflict to the Qiang people.

If someone else had been involved, the boss would have agreed after a lot of enthusiasm.

At that time, the county guard will exterminate the Qiang people and win military glory and prestige. Without someone to supervise, the gentry had plenty of opportunities to add water to the promotion of Han law and render the law completely useless.

Ma Di could imagine that if he really went to suppress the Qiang, all the officials would be bribed when he came back. Either replace everyone and bring in more officials from Shu and implement Han law from scratch, or we can only hold our noses and admit it.

Anyway, this is Longxi County, the most remote county. As long as the superiors don't investigate carefully, it is very easy to deceive them.

Okay, win-win, win all, win hemp.

After thinking about all this, Ma Su was in a cold sweat. He was worthy of being an old fox in the officialdom, and he was ruthless in scheming people.

The biggest problem here is that the set of suggestions given by the nobles are in line with his interests as a county governor. You take military glory and reputation, and we protect our own interests without interfering.

Even if you see through it, few people would refuse it, right?

After thinking everything through, Ma Su's eyes became colder.

"The head of the Wu family is really good at calculating. If he hesitates just a little bit, he might really fall into your trap."

"Master Sheriff, I don't know what you mean." Wu Yong just had a hint of disappointment in his eyes and immediately answered with his hand.

"As a citizen of Longxi, I would like to ask you to consider the safety of the county."

"If the governor is unwilling, I have nothing to do. When the Qiang people attack, I am willing to personally lead people out of the city to rescue..."

"Okay, don't be careless about me. Do you think I will believe this?" Ma Su smiled coldly, sat down in his seat again, and said slowly.

"I will naturally deal with the Qiang people's problems. But isn't it still a while before the autumn harvest? I will implement the Han law before we talk about it."

"Starting from tomorrow, I will personally lead people to patrol the neighborhoods and send people to check the county household registration. If anything goes wrong, everyone will have to cooperate."

"I think you, as the people of Longxi, will definitely not refuse. After all, everyone hopes to have a peaceful and stable life, right?"

Ma Su's words made the heads of several aristocratic families lose their temper and almost jumped up and cursed.

What Ma Su meant was that he wanted all military merits, money, food and Han law. Not only did he want the aristocratic families to provide money and food to support the war, but he also wanted to implement Han law to cut the flesh of their noble clans. After everything was done, the family had to reply with a "thank you" with a smile.

I wonder if there is anyone more shameless than this?

Several members of the aristocratic families could no longer calm down, but the head of the Wu family was still as stable as a mountain.

"The Sheriff is so diligent in his administration and keeping the people in peace, so naturally we will fully support him. Whether it is money, food or soldiers, as long as the Sheriff needs us, we will definitely support him fully."

The head of the Wu family followed Shan Ruliu and said to Ma Su calmly.

"But Lord Sheriff, I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower. And each of the 11 counties in Longxi County is personally responsible for it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fully implement the Han law before the autumn harvest."

"We and other tribes still have young talents who are familiar with the scriptures. They are not as good as the governor, but they can be used. I don't know..."

These words instantly brought the previous issue to light, and they were beautifully said.

You want them all, okay, I agree on behalf of the family. But you don’t want to implement it 100%. There must be people from our noble clan involved in the process, and some things need to be discussed.

The head of the Wu family knows that if anything has to turn into a conflict, it will not be good for anyone. It's better to make some concessions and slowly settle the rest in cooperation.

Anyway, this is Longxi County, their home field.

However, the head of the Wu family understands this, and Ma Di also understands it.

"That's not necessary, Master Wu." Ma Su interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said with a half-smile.

"Although there are eleven counties in Longxi, he has enough energy to cope with it. Even if it cannot be completed before the autumn harvest, he is confident that he can slowly implement the Han law while repelling the Qiang people."

"These things don't bother the major families. The major families only need to provide money and food, and then sit back and enjoy their achievements in the city. What I like most, Ma Su, is to help others."

"Help you ******" Finally, the head of the Han family couldn't bear it anymore. It seemed to them that they had made the ultimate concession, almost drawing blood from a major artery.

Even so, Ma Su was not satisfied and wanted to have it all. What a shame he could say such a shameless thing!

"Ma Su, don't push yourself too hard, this is Longxi County!" The head of the Han family turned red with anger, pointed at Ma Su and cursed.

"Even if Longxi County has submitted to the Han court, it is not at the mercy of others. Without us, let alone governance, believe it or not, we will let you go in less than a month!"

He was not stupid enough to say that he would let Ma Su die on the street, which would just give Ma Su a reason to deal with them.

But it can be seen from his murderous eyes that if Ma Su doesn't cooperate, they will really do something evil.

Conflicts caused by interests are always the darkest.

However, Ma Su smiled slightly and stood up suddenly. Then, under the stunned eyes of a group of people, he pulled out a sharp blade from his waist and slowly walked towards the head of the Han family.

"What do you want to do? There is no room for you to be arrogant here!" The head of the Han family suddenly changed his face and said angrily while taking a cautious step back.

The news that Ma Su killed You Chu has long been spread. People like this who kill without blinking an eye are the most troublesome.

Fortunately, the head of the Han family came from a military background, so he was not worried about Ma Di hacking him to death here.

But Ma Su walked up to him slowly and suddenly threw the blade into his hand. Then he puffed up his chest and took a step closer, pointing to his heart and speaking lightly.

"Come on, give me a chance and stab me to death!"

"Ah?" The head of the Han family looked at the knife in his hand and his expression changed.

"Stab me to death! Come on!" Ma Di said with a cold smile, pointing to his chest.

"Aim at my heart with a knife. Don't you really want to kill me? Come on! Do you dare?"

Seeing Ma Su's arrogant expression, the head of the Han family looked as if he had eaten shit overnight, his face extremely dark. Facing Ma Su's chest, which was so close, he didn't dare to stab it with the knife in his hand.

If the county guard sent by the Shu Kingdom were killed in public, then the Shu people would have a bloodbath in Longxi.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it!" Taking advantage of his stunned moment, Ma Di kicked him over, knocking the unprepared head of the Han family to the ground. Then he snorted contemptuously.

"I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!"
