Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"How dare you, Ma Su!" The head of the Han family suddenly became anxious.

After all, the Han family is also a well-known local family, and this little bit of prestige is earned through their tough attitude.

Now that so many Guizhou leaders were present, Ma Di refused to drive them away. Once Ma Su is allowed to knock down this military stick, the prestige of the Longxi clan will be completely ruined.

By then, the news will spread throughout Longxi County, and the Longxi clan will be like that, unable to even protect their clansmen in front of the new county guard.

So was Ma Di's five-colored stick hitting the butts of his tribe? He was clearly slapping their nobles in the face!

However, before the head of the Han family took two steps, he suddenly stopped.

Because behind Ma Su, dozens of fully armed soldiers rushed out, and the crossbows in their hands were fully loaded.

"Execution!" Ma Di shouted.

The five-colored stick fell brazenly, hitting these scholars in front of countless Guizhou leaders and under the eyes of the extremely wealthy families.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

The countless dull sounds of military sticks, intertwined with the wails of these soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, seemed particularly loud.

And Ma Su's prestige was suddenly established with the fall of the five-color stick!

In the following days, Ma Su would appear at the gate of the county government office every morning. He led a group of soldiers and government officials to bring out a group of once-high-ranking scholars, and then executed them in public.

Qianshou in Longxi is also very considerate and always arrives in time. While watching those high-ranking scholars being beaten, he also received the corn sent by the prefect.

Except for the first two days when the noble clan sent out manpower to try to save people, the noble family stopped showing up in the next few days, as if the people who were beaten and executed were not their clan members.

Of course, this was not because they didn't want to, and the head of the Wu family, Wu Yong, persuaded them.

"Isn't it embarrassing enough? With Ma Su's crazy character, what's the use of threatening him?" Wu Yong looked at these colleagues whose faces were dark with anger and sighed.

"What should we do? That's a member of our Han family. Should we just let Ma Di do this?" The head of the Han family was very angry, and his eyes were red with anger.

"He really trampled the faces of several of our families to the ground and ruined our prestige!"

I think this is the first time they have encountered such a shameless bastard in all the years they have been showing off in Longxi.

"Ma Di is a lunatic. He doesn't even want the face of a scholar-bureaucrat. Do you dare?" Wu Yong waved his hand and motioned for his servants to close the door, leaving only a few representatives of the aristocratic families. After taking care of the door, Wu Yong's face became serious.

"Can't you still see what Ma Di wants to do? Do you really think he just wants to slap us in the face?"

As soon as Wu Yong said these words, the anger of several representatives of the aristocratic families suddenly disappeared, and their faces all became solemn. Even the most angry head of the Han family suddenly calmed down, no longer angry as before.

"It seems like you guys have figured it out too?" Wu Yong looked at these old actors and shook his head gently.

"How can you not see it? Our family's farm outside the city has been explored three times by the Shu people." The head of the Chen family said in a deep voice. He can be regarded as the head of the family in the family. This is a bit of discernment.

"And according to a clan member whose family works as a clerk in the county government, the Shu people have been investigating household registration and land deed issues in the past few days. According to someone's guess, Ma Su will be able to find out something soon."

In recent years, these aristocratic families took advantage of Cao Wei's neglect of Longyou and followed the previous governors to do a lot of dirty things.

In less than ten years, most of the powerful landowners in Longxi County lost their families, and the land belonged to a few of their families. Longxi County, which originally had a relatively abundant population, has also seen a large number of people disappear in a few years.

Now that Ma Su suddenly found out about this, it definitely touched their heartstrings.

"So Ma Di's purpose is not the execution itself, but to try to make us focus all our attention on the county government and ignore the little tricks he made." Wu Yong nodded, his tone becoming a little cold.

Land will always be the core interest of this land, and it will not change even if it takes another thousand years.

Especially since Cao Wei implemented the nine-level Zhongzheng system, this imagination has become more serious.

Under the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system, the future of local nobles was locked, and the official career could end at a glance. Under such circumstances, it was meaningless to continue to spend energy on official struggles, so they put all their energy into land annexation.

Now even if the Shu Han controls this place, these nobles do not want to spit out the land they have eaten over the years.

It’s almost finished digesting. Do you want me to take it out again? How can it be.

So when Ma Su started to check the household registration and land deeds, several wealthy families were already alarmed.

Even though Ma Su had done such a big job, he slapped their nobles in public. He still couldn't let the nobles ignore his quiet actions of investigating land deeds and household registration.

"And you should also know why Ma Di carried out the execution in public besides covering up those small actions, right?" Wu Yong raised his head and asked. Seeing doubts in his colleagues' eyes, he spoke softly.

"Everyone knows that during the Qin Dynasty, Shang Yang was the first to implement the reforms, right?"

"Ma Su is doing the same thing, but instead of building wood, he is erecting the heads of our family."

As soon as these words came out, several family heads all understood, and fear flashed in their eyes.

To put it simply, building trust is to establish the credibility of the court through an example, so that the people believe that what the court will do next is not a face-saving project.

Ma Di carried out executions in public, and even publicly executed members of their local wealthy family. This is to tell the leaders of Guizhou in Longxi that I really want to implement Han law and I am not in the same group as those big families.

The news would spread throughout Longxi with those from Guizhou who were attracted to watch the execution. Once the capital of Guizhou below believed Ma Su's words, it would not be so easy for several wealthy families to stop Hanfa.

"Killing three birds with one stone not only attracts our attention, but also damages our prestige, and also establishes his own prestige." Wu Yong analyzed with his colleagues with a complicated expression.

"Except for his own shamelessness, he hit all the important links one after another."

After Wu finished speaking, all the noble representatives in the room fell silent. They no longer showed any contempt, their eyes were full of vigilance and fear towards the prefect.

"Shikang, we can't wait any longer, we must take action as soon as possible!"

There was silence in the room for a long time, and He Zuo, the head of the He family and the magistrate of Didao County, suddenly spoke.

"This Ma Su has been rushing to break up with us from the beginning. He has never thought of negotiating with us. If this continues, we will only be cannibalized step by step and eventually Ma Su will be completely eliminated."

"Make up your mind as soon as possible and let this governor disappear!"
