Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death
Chapter 39 Blackmail
Although the assassin looks very much like a dead soldier trained by a noble family in any way. Whether it's acting skills, calculations, or understanding of the county government, they are very similar.
But because of this, Ma Su felt a little unsure.
If they were really not afraid of his death, then they could not have saved the archives room and let Ma Su be burned to death. But they had already sent people to rescue him, and now they came to assassinate Ma Su. This was obviously unreasonable.
What's more, the aristocratic family is not a fool. If they want to assassinate themselves, in theory they should send a Qiang man to assassinate them. In this way, Ma Su was killed and the murderer was a Qiang, so he could barely shift his suspicion.
Especially when assassinating him, the assassin's behavior was very strange, and he said that the nobles wanted to kill him.
This made Ma Su seriously doubt whether this was due to the strength of a third party.
It might be Cao Wei, it might be other nobles attracted by the land equalization method, or it might be some other mysterious organization.
In short, the suspicion of the Aristocratic Family is the least serious.
Therefore, Ma Su tried his best not to have a showdown with the nobles at this time. It would be a good thing if he could get some windfall through fraud. Even if you can't cheat, it's okay, as long as you steadily implement the Land Equalization Method and the Han Method.

"Ma Su sent someone to look for me? Doesn't it look like the person who came is evil?"
When Ma Di sent people to the Wu family, the head of the Wu family was practicing calligraphy and maintaining health. Hearing that Ma Su suddenly sent someone to look for him, looking murderous, he suddenly felt bad.
Could it be that his plan was leaked? Is Ma Su ready to come over and raze the Wu family to the ground?
"That's right, there are five people in total, and there is also a prisoner-looking person in custody." The servant replied carefully.
"It seems that their attitude is very irritable, as if they are going to get angry with us if they disagree."
"There are only five people? Then it's okay. Let's ask them to come in." Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not the Shu army but the envoys of five people.
If he really came to fuck him, then this was not the person who came.
It seems that the plan has not been leaked yet.
Soon Yao Hu and his men escorted the "assassin" to the Wu family's compound and met the head of the Wu family.
"Master Wu, you Wu family are so brave! How dare you openly assassinate the prefect!" As soon as Yao Hu saw Master Wu, he immediately cursed, and the murderous intent in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
"By openly assassinating an official of the imperial court, do you still have the imperial court in your eyes? Do you still have your majesty?"
"Do you, the Wu family, really want to rebel?"
Yao Hu's barrage of roars almost stunned the Wu family leader, and he didn't react for a moment.
What? Should I send someone to assassinate Ma Su? When did this happen?
After the reaction came to his mind, the head of the Wu family suddenly felt his heart in his throat.
"Captain Yao, you must have misunderstood! How dare we, the Wu family's loyal ministers for generations, to rebel? Although we have had some conflicts with Governor Ma these days, it does not mean that we have the courage to assassinate the imperial official!"
"It must be a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding! Even the assassins belong to the Wu family. Are you misunderstanding me?" Yao Hu was furious, pointing at the "assassin" who had been beaten half to death and yelled.
"If the governor hadn't reacted quickly, I almost would have succeeded! I'm here today to investigate the crime on the order of the governor!"
The head of the Wu family took a closer look and suddenly became even more confused.
Isn't this one of the clan members who was captured by Ma Su a few days ago? Can he assassinate in prison?
Whose general is this, so brave?
"What do you think is going on? Master Wu? The governor is furious now and wants to personally lead troops to destroy you!" Yao Hu snorted coldly and looked at Wu Yong with his hands behind his back.
"If the prefect was not seriously injured and the doctors did not allow him to get out of bed, it would probably be the prefect's army instead of me."
Then he made some attitude and his eyes seemed unclear.
Seeing this scene, Wu Yongna didn't know what was going on. Ma Di was here to rip him off.
In the past few days, the county government's internal contacts from their family have basically disappeared, and it is difficult to find out the specific situation. What's more, several of their aristocratic families are quietly transferring their core children and property to prepare the final plan.
When the plan is successfully implemented, Ma Su will naturally not survive, and he will need to be assassinated.
Who in their family would be willing to assassinate a dying person now?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Moreover, the other party's attitude made it clear that the Wu family was destined to lose money today, and even their plans would be affected.
"Colonel Yao, since the assassin belongs to our Wu family, it is the fault of the elders that the younger generation is ineffective. I, Wu Yong, accept whatever compensation Captain Yao needs from us to make up for his fault!"
"The Wu family will never dare to have any objections to the county governor's orders in the future. We will all agree with the county governor! I only hope that County Sheriff Ma can take the Wu family's loyalty to your majesty into account and let the family have a way out."
After saying that, the head of the Wu family bowed his hands sincerely, looking completely resigned to his fate.
"Very good. If the head of the Wu family is so cooperative, the county guard will not go too far." Yao Hu nodded, thought for a while, took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, looked at it twice, then put it back and continued.
"Well...since the head of the Wu family is so aware of current affairs, the county guard is naturally not willing to embarrass you. These days, natural and man-made disasters in Longxi County, frequent wars, and the lives of the people in the head of Guizhou are in ruins."
"What the governor means is that now the people don't have enough to eat, and every family is short of food..."
"Here! Captain, please tell me the number. As long as my Wu family can give it, I will give it to the county governor in full!"
"Also, with the recent implementation of the Land Equalization Law, many people's families have been allocated fields but lack cattle..."
"Here! Since the county governor is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness, my Wu family also decides to support it!"
"By the way, the county guard said that the Qiang people will be here in the next few days, and there is still a shortage of them in the army..."
"Here! All the craftsmen and governors of my Wu family can go anytime if they need it! I won't say anything!"
"There are also many people in Longxi who don't have families, and many young men don't have families yet..."
"Here...cough cough cough" After subconsciously saying this, Wu Yong reacted immediately and coughed twice.
"I can't give you this, captain, my Wu family..."
"Okay, okay, Master Wu is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness! If you are so considerate and caring for the people, you must not be the mastermind behind the assassination of the county governor!" Yao Hu suddenly became enthusiastic at this time, grabbed the hand of Master Wu and said.
"A certain generation of eunuchs would like to thank Master Wu for his support. We are waiting for news from you at the county government office!"
"It's best to deliver it within three days. The county magistrate is in a hurry after all."
"I still have something to do, so take the first step!"
After saying that, Yao Hu turned around and left without giving the Wu family leader a chance to react.
After Yao Hu left, the head of the Wu family suddenly turned gloomy and his teeth gritted loudly.
"Master... we should give them what they want..."
"Send it! Of course I have to send it!"
"It's just some money and food. If you can use money and food to appease Ma Di and let him wait for death in peace, then it must be a profit!"
The head of the Wu family's eyes were red with anger, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke.
"As long as this business still exists! Sooner or later, we can get it back!"
