Chapter 491 Incident
More than ten days after Ma Su removed all precautions in Chengdu, several figures quietly appeared outside Chengdu. After sneaking into Chengdu, these figures went straight to the homes of several wealthy families.
It is worth mentioning that these people are not going to an upper-class family like the Qiao family. Instead, he went straight to several small and medium-sized aristocratic families in Chengdu and immediately met with their heads.
At first, the heads of these families were not willing to receive them, especially at this sensitive moment. But when they saw the greeting gift from the other side, they could only hold their noses to receive it.
"What on earth do you want to do? Do you have to kill us?" After meeting them, the head of a wealthy family roared at the leader with an angry expression.
"We don't plan to continue cooperating with you. Do you want to threaten us to compromise just by relying on a letter? If you have this plan, we won't let you get what you want even if we go to Ma Di to ask for death!"
In response to the owner's anger, the leader smiled and spoke calmly.
"If the head of the Wang family plans to take us to Ma Su to receive the reward for being exposed, then I have no complaints. But do you think Ma Su will really let you go based on what you have done before?"
"You don't need to tell me, just know it yourself. We can talk about it when you calm down."
The head of this wealthy family felt extremely aggrieved to be threatened in such a way. But after gritting his teeth for a long time, he still could only hold back his anger and sit down to continue talking with them.
The other party is right, if they could still be forgiven in Zhuge Liang's time. If Ma Su knew about it, they would have absolutely no chance of survival.
After all, Ma Su will not give any enemy spy a way to survive. This is his bottom line.
"I admit that we have given you support and have been in contact with your Wu...King, but this does not mean that we can obey your mercy!" The head of the family sat down and looked at the opposite side with an ugly face. He said with a cold snort.
"Of course, we don't intend to manipulate you, we are just collaborators." The other party said with a smile. He didn't seem to have any idea of finding trouble, but just sent a letter.
"It's just that our Supreme has a new plan, and I hope you can cooperate. As long as it succeeds, you will receive a lot of rewards."
"Haha..." The head of the house took it with a cold face, not wanting to pay attention to the other party at all.
That's right, the group of people in front of you are the masters of Soochow, belonging to the Xiaoshi founded by Lu Meng in the past. And the reason why he pinched his nose and had to cooperate with Soochow Xizuo was because the other party had evidence of his collaboration with the enemy.
There are actually many wealthy families like them in Chengdu, and they were all deeply tied to Soochow.
This binding is not a letter exchange like that of a wealthy family, but a cooperation similar to a defection.
After Liu Bei's fiasco at Yiling, Soochow's meticulous work quickly penetrated when people in Yizhou were panicked. Many small and medium-sized wealthy families in Chengdu turned their heads to Soochow after losing hope in the Han Dynasty.
During the thirteen years in Jianxing, Soochow relied on these young men to have real-time intelligence on Yizhou.
But as the Northern Expedition progressed, these wealthy people in Chengdu discovered that the big man who was about to enter the coffin had come back to life again. At this time, most of the wealthy families in Chengdu were ready to jump ship and run away. However, Soochow showed little interest in this and did not threaten them too much.
It wasn't until Ma Su entered Chengdu and took up the post of Yizhou Mu that Soochow's meticulous work returned. Then he threatened them with the records and letters of their cooperation.
This is the most fatal, because if Zhuge Liang can forget the blame, then Ma Di will never let you go. Especially for small and medium-sized wealthy families like them, if Ma Su really got serious, crushing them to death would not be much harder than crushing an ant to death.
Therefore, they could only hold their noses and continue to cooperate with Soochow.
But even though the head of the family was already prepared to be threatened, his expression changed drastically when he saw the letter handed over from the other side.
"You are crazy! If you want to kill me, just ask me to kill Ma Su? Are you kidding me?"
"The King of Wu never joked. What he said was to let you kill Ma Di and capture Chengdu." The man in the lead of Soochow Xizuo shook his head gently and said calmly.
"Ma Su is indeed very strong, strong enough to be compared with Bai Qi in the past. But no matter how strong this tiger is, he is just a warrior without any soldiers."
"You just need to cooperate with our Akatsuki. It's not impossible to kill him."
"Fart! Do you think I'm stupid? Ma Di can't even kill the Wei people, so I'm a fart!" These words made the head of the family so angry that he started to curse.
"You have no choice, Ma Su will not let you go." The other party shook his head calmly, turning around and leaving without paying any attention to the abuse of the Wang family leader.
"At three o'clock tomorrow night, everyone will take action together and kill Ma Di in the city. If Chengdu is successfully captured, King Wu will quickly send people from Jingzhou to respond."
"Don't think about placing your hopes on Ma Su's kindness. I know him very well. If he knows, he won't let anyone in your family stay alive!"

While the whole of Chengdu was undercurrent, Ma Di was leisurely handling official duties in the Prefectural Mufu.
After becoming a shepherd in Yizhou, Ma Di was pulled by Li Mu and began to work overtime until late at night. In his spare time, Ma Su kept looking outside, feeling speechless as he looked at the peaceful Chengdu city.
Such a large city has a garrison of three to four hundred people. As a result, the defense was so empty that the city was more stable than before when the Forbidden Army was present.
I alone am equivalent to an army of 100,000 people, so everyone is too timid to take action, right?
"Your Majesty? Why do I feel that instead of worrying, you are actually looking forward to something happening in Chengdu?" Li Mu on the side raised his head, looked at Ma Di and asked with a frown.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Ma Su immediately denied it three times.
"I just hope that the enemies hiding in the dark will be lured out as soon as possible. After all, if they keep hiding in the dark and causing trouble, it will be more troublesome."
"I hope it was a misjudgment. It would be terrible if something went wrong." Li Mu shook his head and sighed.
"Your Majesty, you are still too confident. If you had brought more people with you, you wouldn't be in such a dilemma."
"There is no need to bring so many people, I am enough." Ma Di shrugged and said disapprovingly.
"It's a pity. Our opponent is really patient. I think the wait tonight will be in vain."
"That's good..." Before Li Mu could finish speaking, the city of Chengdu outside suddenly burst into flames. In just a few breaths, the sounds of commotion and fighting quickly came over.
"It seems that maybe the wait was not in vain..."
