Chapter 203 Wuxia Amon (3)
Although Ma Su did not want to alert the enemy, Li Yong's attempt to make land and land was actually targeting the families of the fallen soldiers, which exceeded his bottom line. He could not ignore this matter.
He did not hesitate to assassinate Li Yong a charge and asked the yamen runners to arrest Li Yong in the county government. According to Liu Bei's latest law, he beat thirty boards again.
Although Ma Su used his power to suppress others, he knew that those who came from Jiangdong to buy land must have a certain background. He was also afraid that someone would use Zhao San's work to make a fuss and put on his own shoes, so he paid for him and returned the money to Li Yong for Zhao San.
Although Zhao San's matter was dealt with, Ma Su did not let go of the matter and sent several of his subordinates to secretly go to Li Yong's original hometown to investigate.
Half a month later, the investigator came back. The results of the investigation seemed to confirm Ma Su's speculation, because the people who came to Jingmen to buy land were not a big family in Xunyang, but at best, they were just a small family and did not have much land in the local area.
The price of land in Xunyang is not much more expensive than that in Jingmen. A few of them have neither wealthy relatives nor close friends here, so it is impossible for them to suddenly go to Jingmen to buy land without any reason.
Through further investigation, it was found that before they came to Jingmen to buy land, they had contact with Xunyang's guardian Lu Meng.
What's even more coincidental is that before Lu Meng guarded Xunyang, he came to Jingmen to guard for a while. After Liu Bei got married with Sun Shangxiang, he handed over the defense here to Zhuge Liang.
In Ma Su's opinion, the matter was very obvious. These people were nails laid by Lu Meng and were likely to become the in-house agents of Jiangdong to attack Jiangling in the future.
Ma Su was very worried inside. Now the Sun-Liu alliance is a family. These people live here to do business and make friends with a family of officials, which is not in the way!
Once Sun Quan and Liu Bei turn against each other and Jiangdong wants to attack Jingzhou, these people will become confidants!
Since he had a conclusion in his mind, because they did not violate the law, Ma Su dared not deal with it without authorization, so he personally returned to the public security to ask for a meeting with Liu Bei and reported the information to him in a realistic manner, but did not express his concerns.
Liu Bei had his own philosophy on the governance of the people, believing that the people's support mainly depends on his political achievements, and it seemed that he did not attach much importance to Ma Su's intelligence.
In order not to suppress Ma Su's enthusiasm, Liu Bei still praised him very politely, and was afraid that he would destroy the relationship between Sun and Liu, so he asked him to secretly arrest these people and hand them over to Zhao Yun, who was steady in his work.
Because of the experience in his dream, Ma Su attached great importance to intelligence information, but this was not his duty, so he did not give any suggestions to Liu Bei.
After Ma Su secretly arrested the six people, he did not make things difficult for them, but asked them to sit in a carriage and take the guards to Jiangling City.
Who knew that less than halfway through the journey, a team of people stopped him. Ma Su looked closely and found that it was Mrs. Sun's female guard.
The one who led the team was Li Fang, who was one of the leaders of Mrs. Sun’s female guards. Her martial arts were outstanding among the female guards, she was very serious in doing things, and she was deeply trusted by Sun Shangxiang.
After Li Fang stopped Ma Su, he looked angry and said to Ma Su without any reason:
"Ma is engaged in it. What did I offend you? How did I target my family?"
When Ma Su heard that it was Li Fang's family who was arrested, he was also surprised and knew that it might have stabbed the hornet's nest!
Although he didn't have much contact with Li Fang, because she was Sun Shangxiang's personal bodyguard, they met at Sun Lang's house when they were in Jiangdong and got along well. When they saw her angry, they quickly pulled her aside to ask.
Li Fang didn't seem to want to make the city full of storms, so she told the inside story aside.
It turned out that Li Yong, who bought land in Wang Family Chong, was Li Fang's biological brother. After she came to Jingzhou with Mrs. Sun, her family said she was worried, so she came here to buy the property under General Lu Meng's introduction.
The other five people, also the families of several female guards, all lived in Xunyang County. They made an appointment to come here to buy some industries together.
When Ma Su heard this, he knew that he had done a bit recklessly!
Li Yong was beaten by the yamen for thirty slaughtering the land of his military family. Even Sun Shangxiang dared not come forward to say anything!
However, although the six people arrested this time were ordered by Liu Bei, the evidence of the arrest was not up to the forefront, especially in front of Sun Shangxiang’s female guards, it was even more impossible to mention. It was to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance!
Now Sun and Liu are not only allies, but also family members. They can be said to be family members. If it is reported that Ma Su arrested these people on the charge of spies in Jiangdong, there would be no way to end them.
Fortunately, Ma Su was prepared, and he knew that he would just arrest people who immigrated from Jiangdong like this. Once exposed, it would really destroy the Sun-Liu alliance. If the matter was serious, he would communicate with Zhao Yun in advance.
In order to legalize the arrest, Ma Su also went to the yamen to inquire about some recent major cases in Jiangling.
There was a murder case, with extremely cruel methods. Six thieves killed the whole family of a merchant and robbed all the money. Only one child escaped by chance.
According to the escaped child servant, the murder of the master's family was caused by six masked thieves, and the case has not been solved yet.
The relatives of Li Fang and the others have unknown origins and are very consistent in terms of the number of people. They even happened before they purchased the land, which could really fall on them.
When he heard Li Fang questioning himself, Ma Su had no choice but to put the charges for this case against his will.
Li Fang was also surprised to hear Ma Su say this. Because the case has a great impact and they all heard about it. Suddenly, they heard that it was his brother who did it, and they were really a little panicked.
Because Li Fang was born in poverty, she was only six years old at the time. Because of the difficulties in life at home, she had to sell her. It just so happened that Sun Shangxiang needed a personal maid, so she bought her back.
Li Fang was one of Sun Shangxiang's earliest maids. Because she was not very different in age, she was well-behaved and obedient, and she had been practicing martial arts with Sun Shangxiang.
Because she is able to endure hardships and practice hard, her real skills are still above Sun Shangxiang.
But she was able to hide her weaknesses. Every time she competed with Sun Shangxiang, she could lose to her just right, allowing Sun Shangxiang to not only enjoy the fight, but also experience the joy of victory. She soon won Sun Shangxiang's favor and became the leader of the female guard.
As she grew older, more and more female guards were recruited by Sun Shangxiang, and the relationship between Li Fang and Sun Shangxiang became deeper and deeper.
