Chapter 25 Negotiations break down
"If you don't use the opportunity, you will regret not taking action today." Ma Su snorted coldly, his eyes not concealing his disappointment.
Such a cowardly nobleman, placing his hope of death in their hands is purely a beautiful idea.
Seeing Ma Su's disappointed look, the head of the Han family looked extremely ugly. In his opinion, Ma Su was humiliating them and bullying them, the talented people in the county, by relying on his own connections.
There is also the King's Law...and the Heavenly Law!
"Ma Su, are you really not afraid of death?" The head of the Han family said angrily through gritted teeth.
"Do you really think that I don't dare to take action? Buyi's anger will make you bleed for five steps!"
"Then you do it! I, Ma Youchang, am standing here today, do you dare!" Ma Su said with disdain as he looked at this strong-mouthed king with his hands behind his back.
"A bear like you, do you have the right to call yourself the Wrath of the Commoner? I led the troops against the Wei army at the street pavilion, and I was not afraid even once under the light of the sword."
"That Zhang He was even more frightened. He was chased by me all night and didn't dare to look back. Who do you think you are?"
"I'm not even afraid of Zhang He, so why am I afraid of your threat?"
As he said that, Ma Di turned his head and glanced at the head of the Wu family and the representatives of the noble clans, and sneered.
"A true warrior dares to wield his sword against the stronger one, unlike you cowards who only bully the head of Guizhou."
"They are just a bunch of cowards. Even if they get angry, they are just bareheaded and robbing the earth with their heads."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, and Yao Hu quickly followed. They left the Wu family compound without any fear, while a group of noble representatives did not dare to say a word.
Didn't you see that the head of the Han family, who had a military background, was kicked to the ground? If he stimulated this lunatic and made him turn around and stab himself, it would be more than worth the loss.
Ma Su's departure also officially represented the failure of the noble clan's negotiation plan.
It wasn't until Ma Su walked away that several representatives of the aristocratic families kicked over the table viciously, stood up and started yelling curses.
"This lunatic! Do you really think this is where he speaks?"
"They are so arrogant in that poor place in central Sichuan that they have bullied us in Longxi!"
"We can't spoil him! We have to show him that they are not vegetarians either!"
The heads of several aristocratic families cursed one after another with murderous intent. Looking at their posture, they wanted to rush out and fight Ma Su right now.
"Okay, please calm down, this is my Wu family." The head of the Wu family looked at the mess, and then thought about the purpose of this time, his brows furrowed.
"But we can't let him be so presumptuous, otherwise he will push his limits even further. We must give him some color!" A family member who was close to Wu Yong pointed angrily in the direction Ma Di left.
"Then take your men and go fight with him. He will only have two thousand Shu soldiers to defend him." Wu Yong shook his head and found a relatively clean place to sit down and said.
One sentence made several heads of aristocratic families unable to answer.
Fight with Ma Su? Not to mention whether we can defeat this ruthless man who has 10,000 soldiers and 50,000 Wei troops. Even if we can defeat him, do we really think that the tens of thousands of Shu troops currently stationed in Tianshui County are just decorations.
Seeing these colleagues calm down, Wu Yong rubbed his temples and sighed.
"I did make a mistake this time. This Ma Su is really a playboy. He relies on his talent and arrogance, uses his power to bully others, and is completely unreasonable."
"But what can we do? Do you really want to fight him to the death?"
"Then what should we do? Do we really want him to bully us like this?" The head of the Han family also got up at this time and asked a little angrily.
"Let's wait and see first to see how capable this dude is." Wu Yong waved his hand, took a sip of the tea served by his servant, and answered slowly.
"If he is only good at military affairs and not good at business strategy, then we don't have anything to worry about. No matter what he does, we refuse to cooperate. If nothing is accomplished in two months, the Shu people will naturally transfer him away."
"If he is really capable... I will be prepared otherwise and will not tolerate him continuing to mess around."

"Governor Ma, what you did just now is truly a hero."
Back at the county government office, Yao Hu looked at Ma Su with admiration in his eyes and complimented him.
Yao Hu came from a small and powerful family and had first-hand experience of the tyranny of the noble clan. After joining the army as an officer, he was still inferior to those children from aristocratic families.
But today, Ma Di pointed at their noses and yelled curses in front of a group of noble leaders, which shocked Yao Hu.
Although Ma Su is also from a noble family, it does not affect Yao Hu's admiration.
This is what a man should do!
"Are you handsome? I feel fine. These noble family heads are just paper tigers." Ma Su shrugged nonchalantly.
"If it hadn't been a big fight in the end, to be honest, I would have wanted to spend a night at Wu's house to see how rich they are."
"But I have a rough estimate of this meal. I shouldn't make any big mistakes when I raid the house in the future."
"Prefect, you actually want to ransack their home?" Yao Hu was shocked and shocked the child for a whole year.
"After all the trouble, is it possible that you still want to coexist with them?" Ma Su was even more shocked than Yao Hu, and looked at Yao Hu up and down with surprised eyes.
"Ahem...that's not what I meant." Yao Hu scratched his head, unable to describe his feelings.
"It's just...these aristocratic families have very deep roots in the local area, and it's very difficult to uproot them. What's more, even if they are liquidated, Longxi County will be greatly affected. I'm afraid this will outweigh the gains..."
Killing Mr. Huang in the local area was something Yao Hu could not imagine.
"What's the point? These are just a few landlords in Longxi County at best." Ma Su waved his hand in disapproval.
"It's very simple to deal with them. Let me tell you my thoughts on being in a high position in the future."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sir, I'm just a military attache. I can't understand you even if you say it." Yao Hu was frightened by Ma Di's words and waved his hands repeatedly.
Being the governor of Longxi means uprooting the local gentry. If I become the Third Duke, I can't even think of what I'm going to do.
After being rejected by Yao Hu, Ma Su didn't take it seriously and thought about it seriously.
"Go back and tell the county magistrate that the household registration matter can be put aside for now. But the land deeds of the state capital must be checked out as soon as possible, especially the land that has been misappropriated by aristocratic families in recent years."
"It's no problem if you can't find the land deed. It's just ownerless land. Then a new land deed will be established in my name and it will be taken back to the court."
"Of course, those noble people will not cooperate with these things. But this is not a big problem. Later I will prepare a recruitment order to see which children from poor families and talented people from the capital of Guizhou are available in Longxi."
"I, Ma Di, will tell these scholars that if you don't do something, others will do it."
