Chapter 30 The aristocratic family panicked

"Ziren, you did a great job. This fire is enough to give that kid Ma Di a headache." County Prime Minister He Zuo was sitting in the distance with tea at this time, feeling happy looking at the blazing fire in the archives room.

Although Ma Su had been on guard against them, he still underestimated the power of their family. As local snakes in Longxi, they have a hundred ways to burn down the archives room without anyone noticing.

"It's a pity that Cheng Wu will probably have to go into exile in the future." The head of the Han family said calmly, wiping the blood on the knife.

"Those Shu people are really stubborn. When they were about to die, their first reaction was to protect the archives room."

"But the result is good. Once the household registration deed is burned, Ma Su will not want to do anything. Even if someone protects him, he will not cause trouble for us."

"Don't underestimate those Shu people, they were the ones who defeated the Wei army." He Zuo sighed and said softly.

"But, without the help of our aristocratic family, the few people close to Ma Su can't even think of putting out the fire. If his people wait for the fire to be extinguished, it will probably be almost burned."

"Take good care of the aftermath and don't show off your mistakes."

"That's natural. It's all done by the Qiang people and they don't care what happens to us." The head of the Han family sneered, waved his hand and prepared to leave.

At this time, a clerk suddenly rushed over and whispered a few words to He Zuo. He Zuo's expression suddenly changed.

"What did you say? Ma Su rushed in to save the household registration himself?"

The head of the Han family, who had just walked out of the pavilion, also froze, and his expression became unbelievable.

"What the hell? Did I hear wrongly? You just said that Ma Di personally went to the sea of ​​fire to rescue those bamboo slips?"

"You heard that right! That lunatic even risked his life to disgust us!" He Zuo was still as easy-going as before, and he was so nervous that he almost jumped up.

"Don't hesitate, go and ask someone to put out the fire! If Ma Su dies inside, the Shu people will destroy our three tribes!"

The burning of the archives room and the burning of the prefect are two completely different concepts, especially in the county government.

If it was just that the household registration was burned, Ma Su could only accept this dumb loss. It is impossible for Shu people to raise the table just because of household registration issues. At most, they can find other ways to cut their flesh.

After all, this is just an official battle, and there is no need to go online. It is impossible for the imperial court to kill the entire Longxi gentry for this. At most, they can find out who did it.

If the investigation is really strict, just throw out a few culprits and give an explanation to the court. The worst thing is to pay for something, anyway, it's less meat than Ma Su has to cut.

But Ma Su himself being burned to death inside is another concept.

This is murder of an official, this is murder!

The death of an official of the imperial court in the local area is definitely a provocation to the prestige of the imperial court. If the court doesn't respond, no one will dare to do anything for the court in the future.

What's more, Ma Su is a well-connected person, and his connections are so strong that he can have direct access to His Majesty.

Once something happens to him, there is no need to report it to Chengdu. It is estimated that Zhuge Liang will end up personally. By then, the entire Longxi gentry will undoubtedly die, leaving no room for struggle.

This is also the reason why even though the Longxi family hates him so much, they can still only wait for the Qiang people to attack. Ma Di must die, but his death must not have anything to do with the family, or even die in the county town.

He must die at the hands of the Qiang people, allowing the court to vent its anger on the Qiang people instead of venting their anger on them.

Even if they had anything to do with Ma Su's death, their entire family might disappear in Longxi.

The head of the Han family also understood this truth, so he felt unbelievable.

You are a county guard! You really are not afraid of death... No, this is not that you are not afraid of death, you are actively seeking death!

If you want to die, why don't you find a place to wipe your neck by yourself? If you have to do it like this, let's pull it together.

Don't take us with you if you want to die, we haven't had enough good days yet!

I scolded Ma Su ten thousand times in my heart, but he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately turned around, mounted his horse, and rushed to his compound as quickly as possible, gathering all those who could move to put out the fire.

He Zuoye dispatched people to put out the fire and sent an urgent message to other nobles.

Don't go to the theater anymore. If you go to the theater again, you'll be in hell.

All in all, what caused Ma Di's most panic was not his subordinates, but the nobles. When it comes to wealth and life, the aristocratic family will never hesitate.

In just a moment, a large number of manpower was summoned and all were rushed to the county government office to put out the fire. While the Shu soldiers were still desperately trying to put out the fire, people from the aristocratic family arrived.

With the participation of the family, the fire-fighting efficiency has increased several times. The fire that was spreading crazily just now was constantly put out and weakened.

"What? Ma Su is still in there?" When putting out the fire, He Zuo grabbed Yao Hu and asked. He almost fainted when he knew that Ma Su was still in the house.

"Quick! Take people in and rescue the...prefect! If something happens to the prefect, I won't spare you!!"

He Zuo roared at the servant, and at the same time, he even wanted to turn around and spray the head of the Han family.

You said you set the fire so completely? In order to burn it, you even stole the county government's kerosene and poured it on it. It's okay now, the fire can't put out the fire and no one can be saved, everyone will be finished!

There was no other way, so I had to lick it clean even though I was crying. Several aristocratic families had to risk their lives to put out the fire and find a way to drag Ma Di out.

After half an hour, the fire was finally suppressed. As soon as the fire subsided, the people from the aristocratic family rushed in anxiously, looking for Ma Su in a hurry.

Fortunately, Ma Su's soldiers were quite capable, and Ma Su was immediately rescued by his soldiers after being knocked unconscious. But even so, Ma Su was dying in the thick smoke, hanging with only one breath left.

"Quick! Call the doctor! The prefect is still alive!"

The representatives of the aristocratic family hurriedly transported Ma Su out, and couldn't help but be ecstatic to see that he was still alive. He sent people frantically to find a doctor to treat him. He must not be allowed to die in Didao County.

"Stay away from the prefect!" Yao Hu stood up at this time and blocked all the people from the aristocratic family.

"You bastards set fire to the archives room, and now you're pretending again!"

A group of people had a bloody feud with the prefect before, but now they suddenly became so interested. Yao Hu wouldn't believe it if there was no purpose.

"You're an old man! Don't worry about it!" He Zuo was very panicked and said through gritted teeth.

"If the prefect died without treatment because of you, you will have to pay with your life!"

"Only Dr. Chuan will come, and the rest will get lost!" Yao Hu naturally knew this, but he also knew another thing. He looked towards the archives room, and sure enough there were a few people sneaking in and trying to sneak in again.

"Stay away from the archives room! This is a place that the prefect is trying to save at all costs! If something happens, you will all die!"
