Chapter 556: More cruel? Who is afraid of whom!

"Is Ma Lao San coming again?"

Cao Siming cursed fiercely, but his face was a little strange, as if he was a little frustrated. He waved his hands vigorously, as if he wanted to settle the score with this Ma Laosan, but in the end, his hands hung down helplessly, and sighed depressedly.

The expressions of brothers Liu Zongshao and Liu Zongli were even more strange and looked a little frustrated. They also subconsciously acted like they were going to fight with Ma Laosan, but in the end, their movements slowly returned to normal, and they sighed helplessly.

Dong Sanhuai obviously clenched his fist, looking quite angry. Zhang Zhun could feel that there seemed to be fire in his eyes. However, after a while, he slowly let go of his fist. The expression on his face was very aggrieved and painful.

Dong Huaxia shouted angrily: "Dad, let's fight Ma Laosan!"

Dong Sanhuai shouted sternly: "Fight! What are you fighting for? What are you fighting for others? More than 4,000 people in Dongjia Village, do you want them to fight all of them? Can you fight, can others fight?"

Dong Huaxia was so angry that he bit his lips hard, and even the blood was bitten out. It can be seen how angry he was in his heart. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it out. However, his eyes became very hot, as if covered with blood.

Zhang Zhun quietly asked Dong Daowu beside him: "What's going on with Ma Laosan?"

Dong Daowu obviously had a good impression of Zhang Zhun and whispered: "Governor General, Ma Laosan is Nanpi's biggest bully...

He introduced that Ma Laosan was actually a martial artist, and he was also well-known in the Nanpi area. Ma Laosan was originally named Ma Liwu, and was the third in the Ma family. He was called Ma Laosan. Many of Ma Laosan's ancestors were martial Jinshis. During the Yongle, Jiajing and Longqing periods, there were three martial artists top scholars. Therefore, the power of the Ma clan in Nanpi was very huge.

Ma Laosan is best at short-term kung fu, and this set of kung fu is quite good. Even Dong Sanhuai and the others will not be easy to defeat Ma Laosan. However, this person's greatest ability is to flatter, flatter, and try every means to please the government. For this reason, he also married his daughter to Wen Chengru, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, as his concubine.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were best at killing people with a knife and luring tigers to drive away wolves. In order to deal with the martial artists in Cangzhou, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture also wanted to win over Ma Laosan and strengthen Ma Laosan's strength to suppress other martial artists. Due to the support of the government, Ma Laosan's team was equipped with dozens of flying bird guns, which was relatively powerful.

Cangzhou martial artists are not fools, they also know the power of muskets. If the flesh and blood body fights against muskets, they will obviously suffer. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they are unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Ma Laosan. Even if they have to suffer some grievances, as long as they can lose money and eliminate disasters, they will endure it. In addition, Ma Laosan himself does have some skills, and it is not easy to deal with him. Everyone gradually gave up the idea of ​​resisting. Over time, Ma Laosan's team actually got the title of "Ma Family Army".

Seeing that other martial artists dared not resist, the Ma family army was quite arrogant on the ground of Hejian Mansion. With the support of Wen Chengru, Ma Laosan blatantly collected the so-called "increase of salary", that is, protection fees. It seemed that Dongjiabao, Caojiabao, Liujiabao, etc. had to pay "protection fees" to the Ma family army every month. If they were not given, Ma Laosan would bring people to make trouble. Relying on the support of the government, the Ma family army was doing everything they could, and the locals hated them.

A few years ago, in Yanshan County, southern Cangzhou, there was a martial artist named He Jichun who resisted the Ma family army. As a result, the He family was besieged by the Ma family army and the local government ignored it. In the end, the He Jichun's family was destroyed and none survived. He Jichun was also a martial artist in the early years of Chongzhen and was quite powerful in the local area. Even He Jichun was like this, let alone other people.

"Ma Family Army? How many people are there?"

Zhang Zhun asked curiously.

"Ma Laosan's personal disciples may have 500. In addition to the disciples of the sidelines, there may be thousands. There are also some gangsters, and some outlaws collected from all over the country, which may have 2,000. It is said that when necessary, there are officers and soldiers mixed in. There are reports that those who operate the muskets are all the officials of Hejian Prefecture."

Dong Daowu said with some concern.

While he was speaking, the noise outside Dongjiabao became increasingly louder and louder. A large number of people fled from outside the fort to find a place to settle themselves. The originally deserted Dongjiabao suddenly became very noisy. The crying of children, the screams of women, and the shouts and calls between men made the scene even more chaotic.

Dong Sanhuai's face was gloomy and shouted decisively: "Son, you are here to greet the governor. Everyone else comes with me to guard the castle."

With the order, everyone inside and outside the chamber disappeared. Only the snipers brought by Zhang Zhun were still responsible for the alert outside the chamber. These snipers were used to big scenes, so they naturally didn't look nervous at all.

Dong Daowu said apologetically: "Sir..."

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Well, continue to talk, what's going on with Ma Laosan?"

Dong Daowu stabilized his thoughts and continued to introduce them.

After Ma Laosan controlled Nanpi, he continued to expand his power to the surrounding area, strengthen his own strength, and plunder more money. Although many martial artists were disgusted with Ma Laosan, they never dared to confront each other publicly too much, for fear of being labeled as a thief. This is also the concern of Dong Sanhuai. If he does not resist, he will suffer grievances. If he resists, he is also worried that he will be labeled as a thief and sent troops to suppress it. It can be said that he is in a dilemma.

"You really don't dare to kill Ma Lao San?"

Zhang Zhun asked casually.

"It's not that I don't dare to kill it. It's because I'm afraid that after killing it, it will cause more trouble to Dongjiabao."

Dong Daowu said helplessly.

"What if I kill him for you?"

Zhang Zhun said as if nothing had happened.

"That won't work either. The government will always blame us."

Dong Daowu said hurriedly.

"Two months later, the Tartars went south. Will there be any government officials in Hejian Prefecture?"

Zhang Zhun sneered.

Dong Daowu couldn't help but bit his lip quietly.

If the Tartars really go south in two months, Dongjiabao would not be afraid of killing Ma Laosan. Ma Laosan's greatest power is actually the government. If there is no official background, local martial artists in Cangzhou gather together to destroy Ma Laosan, it would be no difficulty. The question is, will the Tartars really go south? If the Tartars don't go south and the government makes a comeback, Zhang Zhun patted his butt and left, wouldn't Dongjiabao be finished?

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Do you think I look like a lying person?"

Dong Daowu made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I believe in what the Governor said!"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Since that's the case, you are leading the way, let's go up and take a look! Such an arrogant person, I want to see if he has three heads and six arms!"

Dong Daowu agreed and led the way ahead.

Soon, Zhang Zhun appeared on the city wall south of Dongjiabao with a sniper.

At this time, the outside of Dongjiabao was already in chaos. After hearing the alarm bell, the people outside basically hid inside the castle. The gate of the castle was firmly closed. In Dongjia Village outside the castle, many people in red clothes were constantly setting fire to the houses. Some people even pulled out all the valuable things in the houses and took them for themselves. Needless to ask, these must be the so-called Ma family army.

Zhang Zhun glanced and found that the number of Ma family troops was quite large, at least thousands of people. Most of their weapons were scimitars, but dozens of muskets were also used. However, Zhang Zhun did not feel how powerful these people were. Their greatest deterrence was actually the court and the government. If there was no such tiger skin, I believe that the strong men from Dongjiabao, Caojiabao and Liujiabao could unite and fight with the other party.

As a large number of houses were lit, thick black smoke continued to rise. A large amount of dust fell into the Liujiabao. The people who fled into Dongjiabao were all shocked and then hugged their heads and cried. The Ma family army came in a hurry, and they didn't have time to carry much property, so they hurriedly ran in. Now, the Ma family army set fire to the houses, and they were going to be homeless.

Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully searched outside the city to find the trace of Ma Laosan. Strangely, he searched around but did not find Ma Laosan. He said slowly: "Which is Ma Laosan?"

Dong Daowu's eyes were very sharp, and he had already noticed Ma Laosan. He pointed his finger outside and said, "On there, riding a black war horse."

Zhang Zhun looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed saw someone riding a black war horse, pointing at the people around him. He should have been behind the house just now, so Zhang Zhun's Qianlijing missed him. This Ma Lao San looked like a bully with a hideous face. Dongjiabao had no deep hatred with him, but after he came, he ordered the house to be set on fire without any discretion. Such people were really rampant.

"Ma Laosan, what are you going to do?"

Suddenly, Dong Sanhuai was angry and sad and angry, and heard a voice.

"Old Dong! You don't follow the rules!"

Ma Laosan rode on the horse's back and said viciously.

“When did I not follow the rules?”

Dong Sanhuai roared in anger.

"The prefect has an order to fight the needs of the Tartars, you must donate 3,000 taels of silver. Have you donated it? You delayed and did you want to refuse to pay it?"

Ma Laosan shouted sharply.

Dong Sanhuai immediately lost his language.

It turned out that the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, named Wen Chengru, was a relative of the chief assistant Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren was a good at making money, and his relatives were no exception. Wen Chengru issued an announcement in October that in order to fight the needs of the Tartars, all villages and towns in the jurisdiction had to collect money, called "added salary". Dongjiabao was distributed to 3,000 taels of silver. Dongjiabao actually didn't have much money, so how could he afford the 3,000 taels of silver? So Dong Sanhuai and others delayed and did not want to hand over. Unexpectedly, Ma Laosan came to the door so soon.

Zhang Zhun observed for a moment and said slowly: "You irritate him with words and let him arrive within fifty feet, so we can do it."

Dong Daowu asked, and immediately shouted: "Ma Lao San, you have no eggs, you know how to sell women to seek honor! If you have sex, come up! Look at how you plan to kill your life! The guy who sells women to seek honor!"

"Huangxian!"

"Meng Xia!"

"Lu Yidian!"

"Prepare to kill that guy riding a dark horse!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

In addition to Dugu Lie, the three of them are the most steadily among the snipers. The three of them served Ma Laosan together, and there were some good-looking ones. As long as Ma Laosan entered the effective sniping distance of the Hu Ben gun, even the Daluo Jinxian could not escape the greeting of three Minni bullets. This was the first battle after the Hu Ben army entered Northern Zhili, and Zhang Zhun could not miss it.

Sure enough, Dong Daowu's scream immediately attracted Ma Laosan's attention. He only saw Ma Laosan riding a dark horse and stopping less than forty feet from the castle. He said sarcastically: "Oh, I thought who was so arrogant? It turned out to be the eldest son! I don't know where your girl is? When the Dongjia Castle is broken, I will be your cheap brother-in-law!"

Dong Daowu was immediately furious and was about to curse, but Zhang Zhun stopped him with a wink.

There are more effective means to deal with evil people than to scold them.

More cruel? Who is afraid of whom!

"shot!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Huang Xian, Meng Xia and Lu Yidian fired at almost the same time.

The gunshot sounded, and Ma Laosan fell from the dark horse. Without any extra movement, he lay on the ground and refused to move. The dark horse under his crotch had no reaction at all, as if he didn't know that his master had gone to another world.

After Ma Laosan fell down, he did not move or speak, just like mud. How powerful is the three most wise snipers fired at the same time? Where is his turn to make his last words?

When Ma Laosan was killed, the other Ma family troops were in a mess. Some people looked at Dongjiabao in shock, not understanding the reason. Some people looked at Ma Laosan's location curiously, not knowing what was going on. Some people realized that something was wrong and turned around and ran away. What's even more funny is that some people even pointed at Dongjiabao and cursed.
