Chapter 422 Chengdu County Magistrate (10)

Because Zhuge Liang was urging him to hurry, after Ma Su came back, he had no time to ask Zhuge Liang to repay Kuai Qi.

It seems that Zhuge Liang deliberately made public first and then private, so that Ma Su sincerely respected him.

Zhuge Liang was ahead of his example, and Ma Su certainly would not be inseparable from public or private affairs.

He first sorted out all the work of the Chengdu County Government, and then took some time to come to Zhuge Liang to inform Kuai Qi in detail.

It seemed that Zhuge Liang was not furious after hearing the cause of Kuai Qi's death, but fell into a brief silence.

Although Zhuge Liang's reaction was not fierce, Ma Su saw that Zhuge Liang's changing face and his hands clenched with fists showed that he was extremely uneasy.

After Zhuge Liang knew that Meng Da was trying to kill his brother-in-law for money, he felt very sorry and had the urge to kill Meng Da to avenge his brother-in-law.

But then I thought about it, based on the evidence found by Ma Su, it was only confirmed that Meng Da's subordinates killed Kuai Qi, but he really couldn't do anything to Meng Da!

This is not a purely murder of money. After all, it is a battle between the two armies. Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law Kuai Qi, or the prefect of Shangyong under Cao Cao, was killed in front of the formation. It is normal.

As for taking Kuai Qi's property as his own, it was not a great crime. At that time, the generals led most of the troops they had brought up by themselves. They used war to support the war, and used the seized property as military funds or belonged to the generals themselves, which was normal.

If you want to overthrow Meng Da, even if Zhuge Liang is in charge of the military and political affairs of Xichuan, he will be a little helpless.

Meng Da and Fa Zheng were the heroes who helped Liu Bei enter Sichuan. Although their status is not as good as Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang, the difference is very limited.

As the prefect of a county, he was also an important official of Liu Bei. He and Fa Zheng were still very close friends and had a great influence in Xichuan.

Even if Zhuge Liang found some evidence of Meng Da's corruption and gameplay, it would be difficult to remove Meng Da's prefect, let alone killing him to take revenge.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang weighed the pros and cons and finally made up his mind to temporarily put down his personal grudges for the sake of his lord's great cause and his ambitions.

But Zhuge Liang also secretly swore in his heart that if Meng Da really devoted himself to serving Liu Bei, he would pretend that he would not know about the murder of Kuai Qi.

If Meng Da is corrupt and abused the law, he will punish both crimes and let him suffer the consequences.

Zhuge Liang is also able to take on and let go of the people he can no longer worry about revenge, and said to Ma Su:

"Thank you Youchang for finding out the truth about the incident. Although the evidence is conclusive, it is really not Meng Da's sin. Now the Lord is just using people. I don't want to make trouble. I hope Youchang keeps his mouth shut and treat this as never before."

Ma Su didn't say anything, just nodded because he knew that Zhuge Liang was having a bad time!

After finding the truth, he also put himself in his shoes and designed something for Zhuge Liang. If he did not use the rights in his hands to avenge his private revenge, there would be no way to deal with Meng Da, who had more than 4,000 troops.

Even if it is a public revenge, it will not take a few days to make it happen. It is necessary to design slowly so that Meng Da can fall into the mud pit of infidelity and justice, and then take revenge in a legitimate way.

In this way, it is very likely to cause discord within the Liu Bei group and bring unpredictable losses.

Zhuge Liang did not dare to take risks, so he could only put the overall situation first and temporarily gave up his personal grudges.

Ma Su admired Zhuge Liang's character very much, and he was also secretly wary of not being able to abolish the public for personal gain, nor to avenge his private revenge.

Although Ma Su was just a student in the dream world, his knowledge and vision were ahead of his time, and the job of the county magistrate could not help him.

He has endless ways to solve cases. Even those pits that those who are interested in them have been dug for him on purpose were also cracked one by one by one, and gradually gained fame in Chengdu.

Ma Su's outstanding political achievements demonstrated Zhuge Liang's ability to employ people properly and have the wisdom to be aware of others.

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng had different opinions with Zhuge Liang back then, and although no one said they had done anything wrong, they still had a knot in their hearts.

Fa Zheng is serious about major events, but not cares about details. In addition, he has a strong aura in the world and is willing to avenge his enemies, so he is inevitably criticized. Liu Bei and Fa Zheng are more comfortable together.

Zhuge Liang strictly demanded himself everywhere, and was cautious and serious in his work, and could hardly find any flaws.

Although Liu Bei was with him, although there were only some minor problems, he was very conspicuous compared with Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, when Liu Bei was idle, his relationship with Zhuge Liang had problems and gradually became alienated from him. Instead, he became more and more speculative with Fa Zheng and trusted Fa Zheng more and more.

Of course, Fazheng is not a person who is ignorant.

Although there are constant minor problems, no violations of laws and regulations have occurred. In terms of major issues, we can adhere to principles and win everyone's trust.

Although Ma Su was cautious and had been designed many times, he calmly resolved all of them and achieved remarkable political achievements.

Although Liu Bei was determined to ask for some trouble for Ma Su and also hit Zhuge Liang for a while, he never found an opportunity.

After Jiang Wan followed Zhuge Liang into Sichuan, whether in Chengdu's rear or to the battlefield in Hanzhong, Jiang Wan was Zhuge Liang's right-hand assistant. Even he himself believed that he was the magistrate of Chengdu.

Who knew that a Ma Su appeared halfway and squeezed him to the remote Guangdu County as the county magistrate.

He is also a county magistrate, but his grades are a whole level different, and he is far from the center of power. It is impossible to say that Jiang Wan has no idea in his mind!

Frustrated, Jiang Wan was young after all, and she couldn't help but drown her sorrow with alcohol.

Although Jiang Wan did not offend others, he ignored government affairs and was still sued by Liu Bei.

Jiang Wan was an official recommended by Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei just wanted to hit Zhuge Liang, so he took him on a tour and headed straight to Guangdu County.

When he entered the county government office, he found that Jiang Wan ordered the government affairs to be ignored and was intoxicated.

Seeing Jiang Wan's shape reminded Liu Bei of Pang Tong back then.

Pang Tong was a pain in Liu Bei's heart. Liu Bei thought Jiang Wan was following Pang Tong back then, and he also had the intention of blaming Liu Bei for his five senses of wisdom.

Liu Bei naturally could not tolerate Jiang Wan being so arrogant and was furious, so he wanted to punish Jiang Wan to be executed.

Zhuge Liang is Jiang Wan's recommender, so he naturally needs to bear responsibility.

But Zhuge Liang knew that Jiang Wan had real talents and knowledge, and did not delay the major affairs in the county. He took the initiative to take responsibility and advised Liu Bei:

"Lord, Jiang Wan is a weapon of the country, not a talent of a hundred miles. He governs with peace of the people as the basis, and does not embellish it first. I hope the lord will observe clearly."

Liu Bei has always respected Zhuge Liang. Although he was hitting him, he actually gave him the opportunity to show kindness.

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang pleaded for mercy, Liu Bei exempted Jiang Wan from his death penalty, but he still dismissed his official position and asked Zhuge Liang to use it later.
