Chapter 36 The storm is coming
"Chen family? Even the Cao family in Luoyang couldn't stop them today." Li Mu, who was leading the team, shrugged and said calmly while looking at the few children of aristocratic families in front of him who were blocking them.
"This is an order from the imperial court. Do you think that the Chen family is more noble than His Majesty?"
This sentence made several people from the Chen family in front of him startled, and they quickly took several steps back.
They really can't afford to bear this crime. It is a serious crime for the three clans.
But after thinking about the land passed down from their ancestors behind them, they did not dare to retreat. I can only bite the bullet and say through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty has a body of thousands of people, and he is the true Dragon Emperor. How can he do anything to benefit the people? It must be that Ma Su who has taken it upon himself to bully common people like us!"
"Compete with the people for profit, deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors!"
"I will definitely go to Chengdu to sue you!"
"Okay, you can go if you want. There is a special place in Chengdu to cry out grievances." Li Mu was silent for a moment, and said with an inexplicable expression.
The Shuhan system has always been highly centralized, and one person often has to do many things. The entire laws and criminal laws of the Shu Han Dynasty are all handled by one person.
That man's name is Zhuge Liang, and he is the teacher of the county governor Ma Su...
They might not be afraid of suing the county magistrate.
Seeing the several confident Shu Han officials in front of them, the several members of the Chen family who were responsible for blocking them were in a dilemma.
They cannot retreat. Once they retreat and let them occupy their own property, they will be the sinners of the family. But it's probably unrealistic to continue to support him. So far, the family has only sent a few of them, and their intentions are very obvious.
They were still hesitating, but Li Mu had no time to say more to them and gave the order directly.
"If they interfere with the government's work, all of them will be arrested, given twenty military sticks, and imprisoned for a month!"
"only!"
Following Li Mu's order, the Shu soldiers rushed forward and captured all the tribesmen.
Without obstacles, measuring the land is not that difficult. According to the "burned" land deed records, Li Mu quickly divided the ownership of large tracts of land.
However, what surprised Li Mu was that the family still didn't respond much. They just sent some fringe people to obstruct it, which was innocuous and innocuous.
In addition, the aristocratic family that had reacted extremely fiercely before seemed to be dead and allowed Ma Su and the others to do whatever they wanted.
This reaction made Li Mu highly vigilant. He must know that he is also a member of the family and knows the energy of the family very well. Theoretically, if the aristocratic family seriously wanted to obstruct it, they would probably have a hard time or even not be able to do it at all.
In particular, no aristocratic family could survive the national chicken-eating competition in the late Eastern Han Dynasty these days. It was impossible for them to surrender and accept their fate just because of Ma Su's little action, so it was more like they were holding back a big fear and preparing to kill him with one blow!
"Go back and tell Captain Yao to pay more attention to military equipment these days. I'm afraid there won't be peace in the next few days!" Li Mu thought for a while, then turned to a soldier and said.
"As you command!"

In the next few days, Longxi County became inexplicably calm.
The children of the aristocratic family who are usually domineering do not dare to break the law. Once there is a violation, they will be dealt with immediately. And even without the personal supervision of the eunuch, the aristocratic family never came to obstruct it again.
Rewards and punishments are clear, the criminal law is fair, and no one refuses to accept the sentence.
After all, if you don't obey, you will get two sticks.
At the same time, the government quickly opened the granary and distributed the grain that You Chu had gathered before to the head of Guizhou. This measure saved many people from starving to death, and everyone in Didao County praised Ma Su's achievements.
But for Ma Su, these days are not very good.
"I'm the fucking county guard! Who gave you the courage to stop me!" Ma Su's face was very dark. He had been pinned down in his room since he was tricked by a doctor a few days ago.
Doctor Chuan gave an overview of Ma Su's physical condition to Yao Hu, Li Mu and others. So the whole Longxi people unanimously decided that the Sheriff should take a rest, as he was too busy.
So the dignified Governor of Longxi was ignored.
These people are simply devils!
They actually kidnapped me and not only refused to let me work overtime, they even forced me to take paid leave!
This is pure abuse!
"Prefect, you have been talking for a long time, drink some water and take a rest!" Yao Hu smiled bitterly and said while holding a bowl of soup.
"Go, go! You still want to use this sweat medicine to plot against me?" Ma Su's face darkened as he looked at the bowl of dark soup.
The effect of this sweat medicine is really scary, I will fall asleep after drinking it. After being tricked several times, Ma Su also noticed it and would never touch it again.
"Alas... Prefect, there is nothing we can do. Your body really can't bear it anymore!" Yao Hu said with a sad face and cupped his hands.
"You are just like the Prime Minister now, taking care of every detail and taking care of everything. But the Prime Minister's body is still strong, but your body can't withstand it anymore."
"If this continues, if you fall, who else will be able to hold your position?"
Now Ma Su is just like Zhuge Liang, doing everything himself and trying to maximize efficiency. Even a strong body may not be able to withstand such overwork and illness, let alone Ma Su's physical condition.
Seeing Yao Hu's determined attitude, Ma Su couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Okay, okay, you go down first and let me rest alone."
"Yes!" Yao Hu nodded, not worried that Ma Su would sneak away.
With his physique, it would be difficult to walk, so just leave a few soldiers to protect him.
After Yao Hu left, Ma Su lay down on the bed, looking a little hopeless.
"I'm so stupid, really."
"I only know that aristocratic families are powerful these days, but I have forgotten that I am also from a big aristocratic family. It is so damn naive to put my hope of returning home on a few nobles in remote areas!"
The aristocratic family is also hierarchical. The small noble family faces the big noble family just like the head of Guizhou faces the noble family. Even if he is unreasonable and wants to bully you, there is nothing he can do about it.
Therefore, Ma Su's series of situations are frankly similar to bullying, and the other party actually has few means of resistance.
This can be seen from the fact that when Ma Su entered the archives room to save the household registration, the aristocratic family immediately came to put out the fire with all their strength. They were very afraid that if Ma Su died, they would also be killed.
"It's a waste of my feelings to scare them like that!" Ma Di shook his head and sighed.
If there is a chance, go back to the military camp as soon as possible. Maybe I will have more opportunities during the Northern Expedition.
It's better to be on the battlefield, where the sword flashes and the sword flashes and you go home without paying attention.
Just when Ma Su was feeling sorry for himself, someone suddenly pushed in the door.
"Sir, my maid is here to serve you and rest!"
A young maidservant walked in cautiously carrying a basin of water and timidly said to Ma Su.
"The Lord Commander has asked your maid to come and help the Lord Prefect to change his clothes and rest. It's already late at night, so I would like to ask you to wash up and go to bed."
Upon hearing this, Ma Su suddenly became energetic.
