Chapter 37

Xiangyang City, somewhere Ma's house.

In the hall, Ma Qi, the head of the Ma clan, sits upright above.

Below the hall sat Ma Yin's father, Ma Fang, and others.

Ma Fang's eyes were filled with deep hatred. His face was gloomy and he said in a low voice: "patriarch, Ma Yuan was killed. Now the person who tried Pang Tong has changed to an Yi nationality. I'm afraid that the Iraqis will be partial to Pang Tong. Once so, India's revenge, can not revenge

March comforted: "you can rest assured that the Ma family will not sit by and watch India's enmity."

Ma Fang nodded, but his heart was dignified.

March continued: "Ma Yuan was investigated and dealt with all of a sudden. It's strange everywhere. Ma Yuan's hands and feet are not clean, but he is not guilty to death. But the final result was that Ma Yuan was corrupt and was executed by Liu Biao on the spot. "

"According to the information sent back, the reason why Ma Yuan was killed on the spot was that he involved valuable jewelry and jade."

"According to the information from the county government and the prefecture government, it is said that a Yicheng man named Huang Xiao gave it to Ma Yuan last night."

Ma Qi said in a deep voice: "Ma Yuan was arrested just after he received the money, and the evidence is conclusive."

On closer analysis, March was surprised.

The people of Ma family also think that Ma Yuan's death is not simple.

Ma Fang's eyes turned and said: "Ma Yuan was killed, it must be the old man's plan. It was inconvenient for him to come out in person, so he set a trap for Ma Yuan to get in, and then asked Pang Lin and Liu Xiu to go to the prefecture to beg for mercy, which led the prefecture to capture Ma Yuan. "

"It could be so," said March

"Father, this is the end of the matter. Even if it was designed by Mr. Pound himself, the situation could not be saved."

In the hall, a handsome young man, over 20 years old, with a pinch of white eyebrows in his eyebrows, spoke.

The young man's name was Ma Liang, the fourth son of March.

Under his knees, he had five sons, Ma BoChang, the eldest, followed by Zhong, Shu, Ji and you.

Among them, Ma Liangma Jichang is the best.

March said, "Ji Chang, what can you do?"

Ma Liang replied: "the Pang family has a deep foundation in Xiangyang. Now that Ma Yuan has been killed, the Pang family has achieved its goal and will not start for the time being. In the next step, Pang's family will certainly try Pang Tong to exonerate him. What we can do now is to wait until June 27 when Pang Tong is interrogated, and then compete with the Pang family. "

Mafang steel teeth clenched, dissatisfied with the way: "Ma Yuan's things, so forget it? The Ma family tried hard to put Ma Yuan'an in Xiangyang County Magistrate. We can't let it go like this. "

Ma Liang said in a deep voice: "Ma Yuan himself got into the quilt's case and could not overturn the case."

March said: "this is the end of the matter. There is no need to discuss the matter of Ma Yuan. Now, we should make every effort to prepare for the affairs of yin'er and not let Pang Tong go unpunished. "

……

Longzhong is located in the west of Xiangyang.

This is a beautiful place with mountains on its back and water, green water and green mountains.

The mountain is not high but elegant, the water is not deep but clear, the land is not wide but flat and open, the forest is not big but lush and prosperous.

This is where Zhuge Liang lives.

In the study, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu sit cross legged, playing chess.

Black and white pieces crisscross on the chessboard, and they fight each other happily.

With a strong smile on his face, Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming, this game of chess has been decided. It seems that you are going to lose."

Zhuge Liang said with a light smile: "until the end, the outcome is unknown."

"Pa!"

Zhuge Liang picked up a sunspot and landed it on the chessboard.

In an instant, the situation on the chessboard changed dramatically. The situation in favor of Xu Shu reversed in an instant and became unfavorable to Xu Shu. On the contrary, Zhuge Liang reversed the situation.

After a careful analysis, Xu Shu praised: "this game of chess, you win again."

Zhuge Liang said, "I've accepted."

When Xu Shu was defeated by Zhuge Liang, he picked up the sunspot and said: "Shiyuan killed Ma Yin and was caught. The Pang family tried every means to save Shiyuan. You are half of the Pang family. How can you stay out of the business and stay in Longzhong instead of going to Xiangyang? "

Zhuge Liang said with a light smile: "with Liu Xiu, I don't need to."

Xu Shu said: "I listen, there is a sour smell in the words. Kong Ming, it's not like you. "

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "it's not sour, it's matter of fact."

"Liu Xiu has taken over the whole matter of saving Shiyuan. Moreover, without Pang Shi, Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin are not enough to support the situation. "

"It's normal for Liu Xiu to accept everything."

At this point, Zhuge Liang sighed, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"In fact, I think it's very difficult for Shi Yuan to kill Ma Yin."

"There is no proper way to think about it. It's not easy to save Shiyuan's life without breaking the law. "Zhuge family was born in Langya Zhuge family, is a scholarly family.

Before he came to Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang had already read a lot of poetry and was familiar with classics. Zhuge Liang was good at governing the country, marching and fighting. He had great talent and learning in mind.

The tactics of marching and fighting can not be used to rescue Pang Tong.

It is impossible to distort the facts to exonerate Pang Tong. However, Pang Tong was the criminal party, and Zhuge Liang could not find any reason to refute.

In Zhuge Liang's view, only Pang Degong came forward to solve the problem.

At this stage, pound does not appear.

Xu Shu said: "the problem of Shi Yuan is really very difficult. I have analyzed it carefully. If Pang Shi doesn't show up, it's really difficult to solve it. However, Liu Xiu always does things out of expectation. Maybe there will be a surprise. "

Zhuge Liang said, "Yuanzhi, what do you think of Liu Xiu?"

Xu Shu's eyes flashed a brilliant light, saying: "what Kong Ming said, from which aspect? From the aspect of the master, or the assistant minister? "

Zhuge Liang said, "all right!"

Xu Shu said: "Liu Xiu and I have only had a short contact, but considering all the information, Liu Xiu is absolutely competent as an assistant minister. Liu Xiu's poems about lotus flower, the theory of the six kingdoms, and the theory of the six Kingdoms all show his talent, and his martial arts are outstanding. It can be said that Liu Xiu is both civil and military. "

At this point, Xu Shu's face was more dignified.

"With such ability and Liu Xiu's identity, it's difficult for him to be an assistant minister."

"It is very likely that Liu Xiuhui will fight for the inheritance right of Jingzhou."

Liu's character is gentle and indecisive. Even if we inherit Jingzhou, it is difficult to keep it. "

"The second son, Liu Qi, is frivolous and has Liu Biao's headstrong, which is not enough to defend Jingzhou."

"Only Liu Xiu has both literature and martial arts."

"If Liu Xiu inherits Jingzhou, it can not be said that the situation in Jingzhou will change."

"However, although Liu Xiu's ability is strong, his family background is quite different. Even with the Zhenshan sword given by Liu Biao, it's still too poor. "

Xu Shu said, "Liu Xiu has a long way to go if he wants to make a foundation."

Zhuge Liang suddenly asked, "Yuanzhi, would you like to help Liu Xiu?"

Xu Shu said with a smile, "who knows what will happen in the future?"

There was a trace of disappointment in Zhuge Liang's eyes and he said, "Yuanzhi, don't you think about other princes? Such as Sun Quan of Jiangdong, or uncle Liu Bei. "

Xu Shu said, "it's not time yet."

"Da! Dada

A sound of footwork came from outside the room.

The bookboy came in in a hurry and reported: "young master, it's reported that Ma Yuan, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, was executed by Liu Biao because he was corrupt and perverted the law."

Zhuge Liang asked, "what are the details?"

The boy said it carefully, and Zhuge Liang waved the boy back.

Zhuge Liang praised: "Liu Xiu has a good speed, a good subtle move, a good decisive and ruthless means. This move can be said to have broken Ma's right arm. "

Xu Shu brightened his eyes and said, "the death of Ma Yuan must have been designed by Liu Xiu."

Zhuge Liang said: "it must be so!"

Xu Shu laughs and says, "since that's the case, there's something to look forward to. I'll go into the city immediately, waiting for Yi Ji to bring in Shi Yuan. Are you going to go into the city with Kong Ming? "

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "no, I'll wait for the news in Longzhong."
