Chapter 618 The whole country is shocked
On the banks of the Heyin River, Ma Su himself stood neatly in front of the formation, and read out the ten major crimes of these Luoyang officials in a serious manner.
After the reading, Ma Dili confidently read out their death sentences amidst the astonished expressions of the officials.
Below, five thousand Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time surrounded the group of people.
These five thousand Han soldiers were all confidants trained by Ma Su. They don't care whether you are a high-ranking general or a wealthy family.
As long as the general says you deserve to die, they will kill you without hesitation.
Several officials took advantage of their prominent family status and planned to force their way out. As a result, as soon as he approached the Han soldiers, they were immediately chopped to the ground.
Blood spurted out, and the entire Heyin air began to be filled with a faint smell of blood. This increased the tension among all officials, and fear began to spread.
Ma Su, it seems that he is serious!
But none of these wealthy families could believe this result. They couldn't imagine that Ma Di had the guts to kill them!
They are the imperial officials! They are the local wealthy family! They are noble scholar-bureaucrats!
Are you, Ma Su, really desperate for your life?
However, they still underestimated Ma Su's courage. As a person who dares to kill someone who is demoted, there is no one in the world that Ma Su dare not kill.
After reading out the charges of this powerful group of people, Ma Di gave the order without hesitation.
"Drive them into the Yellow River! Let these villains who are causing harm to the Later Han Dynasty roll into the water and feed the fish!"
It is now spring and summer, and the Yellow River is in flood season. In such a wide river, it can be said that it is easy to drown these more than a thousand pampered officials and wealthy people.
At this time, some of the officials also reacted, looking at Ma Su with eyes filled with anger. Especially those who were ordered to respond to Ma Di's uprising were filled with indignation.
What do you, Ma Su, have to say to us? Aren’t we just invited by you to respond to your rebellion? As an ambitious person who wants to rebel, what qualifications do you have to accuse us?
However, Ma Su obviously did not intend to explain to them. He faced the abuse of this group of wealthy people and coldly issued the execution order.
This group of pampered wealthy people were forced to jump into the Yellow River under the threat of armed soldiers from the Han Dynasty. Most of them could only struggle desperately until their strength was exhausted, and finally they drowned in the Yellow River water.
As for the remaining part, they drowned as soon as they fell into the water...
In just half an hour, corpses were floating everywhere on the Yellow River. They are all important heads of wealthy families in Luoyang, and many of them are influential people around them.
But now, they have all turned into floating corpses on the Yellow River and were buried in the belly of the fish.
It turns out that these gentlemen are not good at swimming...
And Ma Su also stood on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the corpses of these bureaucrats who hated him so much that they were submerged in the rolling water of the Yellow River. Faced with such a spectacular scene, Ma Su only thought of one sentence to suit the occasion:
"The deceased is like a man, never giving up day and night!"
"Your Majesty, General Zhenbei and General Zhengxi have been ordered to enter Luoyang. The prince has also been requested by you and is currently staying in the East Palace." Ma Su's confidants raised their hands and reported seriously.
"So far, so good!"
"Very good." Ma Su nodded slightly.
Ma Su did not let the prince participate in the Heyin diving party, and he was the organizer alone. After all, Ma Su was not willing to share such a great reputation with others.
It is best for all the great families in the world to remember my name, Ma Su, just like Er Zhurong in history. It would be great if Ma Su could also experience Er Zhurong's fate.
"Everyone should be prepared. If this news spreads, the whole world will be shaken. The pressure will not be small by then!"

While Ma Su was holding the Heyin diving competition, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai each led 20,000 troops and entered Luoyang with the general's order. Then the army began to exterminate the clans according to the household registration book according to the list of rebels given by Ma Di.
Ma Su's goal from the beginning was not to kill so many people for fun. What he wants is to create a gap in Luoyang's watertight officialdom so that the central government can project power to Kanto.
So this time, Ma Su's purpose was to use fishing to enforce the law and directly clean up a group of local wealthy families in Luoyang.
This Heyin Incident lasted for several days, and the whole of Luoyang was plunged into a bloody storm. Dozens of wealthy families were surrounded by elite Han troops, and all their families except women and children were slaughtered.
At the same time, Chang'an also received news from Kanto.
The first ones received were tips from wealthy families who wanted to hedge their bets. For a time, the news that Ma Su was going to launch a rebellion spread throughout the Jihan court, and panic instantly spread.
"Your Majesty! Please quickly persuade the prime minister to return to the court and order General Wei to lead troops to occupy Hongnong to warn the rebels!" Yang Zhun was very nervous and immediately spoke to Liu Chan.
"Whether this is a rumor or true, be careful!"
"Your Majesty! I pledge my property and life as a guarantee, and Ma Su will never turn back!" Before Yang Zhun finished speaking, Jiang Wan stepped forward and addressed Liu Chan in a trembling tone.
"The situation in Kanto is complicated at the moment. This is definitely a misunderstanding. I would like to ask your Majesty to send an envoy to inquire!"
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, Fei Yi and a group of other veterans also stepped forward and risked their lives without hesitation to ensure that Ma Su would never turn back.
After all, they are all Jingzhou faction, so they naturally want to protect Ma Su at this time. Moreover, the current situation is chaotic. If Ma Su is forced to rebel, the national destiny of the Han Dynasty will be interrupted.
At this critical moment, Liu Chan's attitude is very important.
"I believe the general, he will not do such an irrational thing!" Liu Chan shook his head gently and expressed his position personally.
"Send someone to Luoyang to appease the general and make sure to resolve the misunderstanding!"
I don’t believe that the general recommended by my father-in-law has the idea of rebellion!
Liu Chan didn't say this last sentence, but this was his most critical confidence.
He believes in the vision of his father, Zhuge Liang, just as his father believed in his morality!
Just when Liu Chan went against all opinions and issued an edict to believe Ma Di and send an envoy to Luoyang to clarify the misunderstanding, Luoyang also sent an envoy.
Seeing Ma Su taking the initiative to send someone to explain, the entire Shangshu table breathed a sigh of relief. And Liu Chan relaxed again, and the smile returned to his face.
"I knew that the general would not let me down..." As he said this, Liu Chan opened the letter Ma Su gave him.
Then, Liu Chan's smile froze, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes. After being stunned for a while, Liu Chan came to his senses, then suddenly stood up and shouted,
"Quickly, send someone to Jingzhou to ask the prime minister to come back!"
