Chapter 174 Hao Zhou was rescued and Ma Tao unified Yanmen County
Ma Chuang didn't expect that this would be the reason, and then said angrily: "Hao Kongyi has great talents. Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart and force the talents away."
Ma Tao smiled disdainfully and said, "Who is Hao Zhou? There are so many such people in my Ma family!"
Ma Chuang didn't want to argue with Ma Tao about this matter and asked, "Then when will you let Hao Zhou come out?"
Ma Tao replied: "When will Yang Fan withdraw his troops, and when will I release him?"
Ma Chuang's face was gloomy, and he saw him staring at Ma Tao tightly and saying word by word: "You are just as determined as you want to fight for dominance in the world? Sooner or later, the Ma family will be destroyed by you."
Ma Tao was stunned, then blushed and shouted: "Ma Chuang, don't forget, you are also a member of the Ma family."
Ma Chuang replied angrily: "You must release Hao Zhou within today."
Ma Tao was also angry. His younger brother always went against him. He snorted coldly: "What if I don't let it go?"
Ma Chuang shouted, "If you don't let go, just wait and regret it. I'm ashamed to be with you!" After that, Ma Chuang left with his sleeves.
After Ma Chuang left, Ma Tao said to Ma Chan: "Father, have you seen it all? Ma Chuang is too arrogant. If such a person goes to command the army of our Ma family, it will definitely bring disaster to us."
Ma Chan was thinking, and he was silent for a while and said, "Taoer, let that Hao Zhou go!"
Ma Tao asked in confusion: "Why?"
Ma Chan said lightly: "Haozhou is just a little man. How could Yang Fan give up attacking Yanmen for him? If our Ma family arrested Haozhou and spread it, it would damage the prestige of the Ma family and would not be worth the loss!"
Ma Tao quickly responded: "Then I will let Hao Zhou go later."
Hao Zhou was arrested and released. He tasted the warmth and coldness of the world in just half a day. He was very grateful to Ma Chuang. Since he was released from prison, he said he was sick and cultivated at home, and he no longer involved in the Ma family's affairs.
The next day, Wang Hai took the children of the Wangtao County family, servants, and soldiers, and more than 10,000 soldiers, and loaded hundreds of cars with property, food and grass, and headed towards Yinguan City in a mighty manner. In the evening, the Ma family and his son stood on the wall and looked at the large number of Wang family members with a heavy expression.
Ma Tao said in a deep voice: "Father, there are a lot of people in the Wang family. They are almost catching up with my Ma family!"
Ma Chan nodded after hearing this and said, "There are only more than a thousand people in the Wang family, and the rest are recruited soldiers, young and strong, tenant farmers, so it's not to be afraid. Tao'er, now you send someone to invite Wang Hai to the banquet in the evening."
Ma Tao immediately took the order and left.
Ma Chan looked at the Wang family under the city and murmured: "After tonight, there will be no more Wang family in Yanmen."
As night fell, Wang Hai was invited to the Ma Mansion for a banquet.
Seeing that most of the people attending the banquet were local gentry in the Yinguan and there was no one from other counties, Wang Hai was inevitably a little surprised and asked, "Premier Ma, have the county magistrates from other counties not come yet?"
Ma Tao replied with a smile: "I haven't come yet. I guess those close to you will arrive tomorrow!"
Wang Hai sneered: "Those small families probably even need to be removed from the door panels, but they didn't know that the Yang family army would enter the country at any time. If they arrived in the city one day, they would be at ease sooner and they would not be able to settle the account."
Ma Tao looked disdainful and thought that if it weren't for his own reminder, the people of those small families would have probably come faster than Wang Hai. Now this bureau is specially set up for Wang Hai, so how could there be outsiders present? Ma Tao immediately praised: "That's right, Wang County Magistrate has insight, how can those little people compare with you? I wonder how many people Wang County Magistrate brought together this time?"
The Wang family is in great power and must have the right to speak in the Yanmen coalition. Wang Hai replied modestly: "Not many, not many, including servants, servants, and tenants."
Ma Tao said in surprise: "Oh, the county magistrate Wang brought more people than the ones in my Ma family. It seems that the position of the leader of the coalition forces must be taken by Wang County Ma. "
Wang Hai was just listening to Ma Tao's compliments. He would not compete with the Ma family for the position of the alliance leader. Then he replied modestly: "Premier Ma, I, Wang Hai, have always followed your leader. You have to be the leader of this alliance leader, but I, Wang Hai, have some ideas."
Ma Tao said intimately that he was foolish. He didn't know until his death was about to die. He was still thinking that he would really have the dream of being the deputy leader of the coalition forces. However, it was not yet time. Ma Tao still needed to talk to Wang Haixu. He smiled and said, "That's natural. County Magistrate Wang brought more than 10,000 people this time. The position of the deputy leader of the coalition forces must be Wang County Magistrate Wang."
Wang Hai immediately smiled happily and replied, "Then I would like to thank Taishou Ma."
Ma Tao raised his wine glass and whispered to everyone: "Come on, come on, you and I will respect the magistrate of the County King together with me to pay a glass of wine."
"Congratulations to the magistrate Wang!" "Congratulations to the magistrate Wang!" "Please, please!" After hearing this, the gentry raised their glasses to toast Wang Hai.
"Haha..." After receiving Ma Tao's promise, Wang Hai was in a good mood and naturally refused everyone's toasts. Soon, Wang Hai became slightly drunk.
At this time, a servant of the Ma family quickly walked to Ma Tao from outside the door. After whispering softly in his ear, Ma Tao's face immediately showed an excited smile, and he asked Wang Hai: "Mr. Wang County Magistrate, your Wang family has come out in full swing this time!"
Wang Hai was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "That's right, when the Yang family army pacified Yunzhong and Dingxiang counties, the momentum was unstoppable, and the combat power was not as good as that. At this time of life and death, our Wang family would naturally do its best."
Ma Tao asked: "The iron-armored infantry is really good, with a total of 3,000 people. It seems that the magistrate Wang has put a lot of effort into the army!"
When talking about his iron-armored infantry, Wang Hai immediately showed a proud look. He replied: "It's not me that I'm talking nonsense. My iron-armored infantry also has the power to fight when they meet Yang Fan's trapped camp." After a few cups of Du Kang, Wang Hai began to make a bold statement. He really didn't take the famous trapped camp seriously. If Gao Shun was here, he would definitely give him a few big shots. Even with his thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, he dared to say that he could fight the trapped camp alone. It's really ignorant.
Ma Tao smiled and said, "That's right, the prefect liked these iron-armed infantrymen. During this special period, the magistrate of Wang County might as well contribute the iron-armed infantrymen and join the county soldiers. What do you think?"
Wang Hai was stunned and said with a bad expression: "Hehe, isn't Ma drunk?"
Ma Tao shook his head and smiled, "I have only had a drink, so how could I get drunk?"
Wang Hai said in a deep voice: "What did Taishou Ma mean by what he said just now?"
Ma Tao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is drunk? Is this prefect not understanding what I said?"
‘Bang!’
Wang Hai suddenly slapped the desk in front of him, then stood up and whispered to Ma Tao: "Ma Tao, it is true that your Ma family is my first family in Yanmen, but my Wang Tao family is not a mud."
Ma Tao immediately laughed and said, "Wang Hai, is there anyone else in your Wang family?"
Wang Hai's face changed, and he immediately whispered outside the door: "Come, come!"
No matter how Wang Hai shouted, no one responded to him. It was not until this time that Wang Hai was a little scared. He shouted to Ma Tao with a stern and cowardly look: "Ma Tao, I have brought tens of thousands of people this time. Are you not afraid that I will break the fate of your Ma family?"
Ma Tao laughed and said, "Wang Hai, Wang Hai, you are the only one of your Wang family members now. Thank you for bringing so much money, food and people. Otherwise, I will send you down to reunite with your family?"
Wang Hai was shocked and then roared angrily: "Ma Tao, you, a villain with a human face and a beast heart, did you really kill my whole family?"
Ma Tao clapped his hands, and dozens of armored guards walked into the door. These guards carried several bags to the center of the hall. After opening the bags, a creepy scene suddenly came into everyone's eyes. The heads with horror and despair were still emitting blood, and the ground was dyed red in an instant.
Looking at the familiar faces, Wang Hai immediately fell into endless anger. He rushed towards Ma Tao and roared angrily, "Ma Tao, I'll fight with you!"
‘Puff!’
Wang Hai, who is pampered and dignified, is not the opponent of those guards who are like wolves and tigers. Wang Hai was killed on the ground with just one knife.
Ma Tao walked slowly to Wang Hai's body and chuckled, "Wang Hai, you are so stupid!"
The series of actions of the Ma family made the gentry in the field feel extremely frightened, fearing that they would become the next Wang Hai, and they are standing there trembling.
Ma Tao glanced at the people in the venue and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I, Ma Tao, are not a bloodthirsty person, but there is not enough staff in the army and the food is not enough. I wonder if you can lend a helping hand?"
"My Li family is willing to send five hundred people and three hundred stones of food and grass for the prefect to dispatch."
"So too..."
After hearing Ma Tao's words, the gentry generously donated money, and those with money paid and those with money paid.
