Fubiao guerrilla Tian Zhimu is the nephew of Gansu Governor Tian Juemao. My dear, blood is thicker than water.
He walked into Governor Tian's study, "Uncle, are you looking for me?"
"San'er, uncle is in trouble." Tian Juemao's voice was full of desolation and helplessness.
"Uncle, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. My nephew will go through fire and water without hesitation," Tian Zhimu said immediately.
"Okay! You will lead five hundred elite soldiers to investigate the case with Gu Yanwu. If no evidence is found that Ma Qi, the leader of the Ma clan in Xining, committed murder, the matter will be dropped. If true evidence is found, give him to me~" Tian Juemao made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Action.
"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will handle this matter properly!" Tian Zhimu's voice echoed in the wilderness.

Xining is the key to the West Sea and the throat of the sea. It has been an important military location since ancient times and produced horses.
The group arrived at a herdsman's home in Xining, led by a young old man with dark skin and bright eyes. The herdsmen wearing Hui costumes warmly received them.
"Brother, I am a merchant from out of town. I want to buy horses here. The price is very good. The first colt is eleven taels, the middle colt is nine taels, and the second colt is seven taels. Do you have any horses to sell?" The little old man's voice was full of temptation.
.
"Alas! Foreigners, please come back. The horses here can only be sold to Mr. Ma." The wrinkled old herdsman sighed.
"Oh, why is this? Could it be that the price I gave is not high enough?"
"No, the price you offered is already very high. The average horse price Master Ma gave us is only five taels."
"Then why don't you want to sell it to me but to Mr. Ma?"
"Master Ma is our clan leader. If you don't listen to him, you will be punished." The old herdsman sighed heavily. "Foreigners, I advise you to leave quickly, lest you lose your life for a few horses."
Hearing this, Gu Yanwu, who was pretending to be a merchant, his eyes lit up, "I'm new to Guibao Land and don't understand the rules. What do you mean by this brother?"
"Alas! Mr. Ma's family is very powerful. The family has ruled the local area for hundreds of years, and there are two thousand private soldiers in the clan. On weekdays, if anyone dares to disobey the clan leader's orders, he will be punished, and it will be even more severe for outsiders.
The cattle, sheep and horses here can only be handed over to Mr. Ma for unified sales, and Mr. Ma will sell them to Shaanxi businessmen. A while ago, there were several unscrupulous merchants who said they were sales personnel from some company and wanted to come to the local area to buy horses. They were
Master Ma's private soldiers killed him, and his body was buried in the forest farm of Master Ma's family. Not only them, but also several batches of foreign businessmen who did not listen to the advice over the years died, and they were all buried in the forest farm. Poor, poor! Foreigners, listen to me.
I advise you to leave quickly!"
After listening to the old herdsman's words, Gu Yanwu's eyes almost burst out with fire. He said sincerely: "Thank you for the advice, brother," and left the felt bag.
However, he did not listen to the advice and offered a high price. There were actually a few desperate herdsmen who sold more than 30 horses to him.
The sky in Xining belongs to Mr. Ma, and the land in Xining belongs to Mr. Ma. Here, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Ma, so naturally some confidants went to the Majia Manor on the outskirts of the city to report to Mr. Ma.
Mr. Mazima is a fat man with a big belly, big arms and round waist. He is lying on a recliner and listening to the butler's financial report.
"Master, there has been enough sunshine this year, and our family's income from drying salt from Qarhan Salt Lake has increased by 20%."
"Yeah," he responded casually and asked, "How is the cattle, sheep and horse business this year?"
"Let me tell you, the output of cattle and sheep this year is the same as last year, and the output of horses has increased by 10%. Shopkeeper Sun of Sunji Company is very generous. The price he gave is half a percent more than in previous years. He said it is a discount for old customers. This year
Horse income increased by 30%."
"Okay! Although the salt business is easy to do, the foundation of our family is the cattle, sheep and horses."
"The forest farm's income this year~"
The butler's report was interrupted by a confidant who broke in, "Master, there are a few bold merchants who secretly bought dozens of horses in Xining."
"What! These idiots! Last time, those idiots came to buy horses from us in the name of Gansu Horse Trading Company. So what if they have a background in the imperial court? Why don't you let me handle it?" Ma Qi roared.
.
"Sir, how should we deal with these people?" the housekeeper asked for instructions.
"Just repeat the past," Ma Qi said sinisterly.
??
"Master, someone is following us." Gu Yanwu's entourage discovered the follower.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, the fish is hooked!" Gu Counselor danced for joy.
"Master, are you so sure that they will take action in Nanshan? If they take action in the suburbs, our lives will be in danger!" The entourage was not happy at all and said with a grimace.
"Absolutely not. These aristocratic families with big businesses would never have the guts to do something in the suburbs of the city. Moreover, I have investigated and found out that every time they kill people and rob horses, they do so in Nanshan, and this time will be no exception. By the way,
Are Tian Guerrilla ready?"
"Tian Guerrilla has ambushed Nanshan."
"Okay, that's good!"
"Master, I still feel unsafe, just in case~"
"No matter what happens, if you really have to, you can sacrifice your life for the country!"
Gu Yanwu led a dozen followers, driving cattle and sheep, towards Nanshan.
The scenery in Nanshan is extremely beautiful, and the beautiful scenery contains the ruggedness of the north.
As soon as the group entered the valley, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind them, and more than a hundred horses came galloping towards them.
"Quick, abandon the horse and run for the mountain," Gu Yanwu shouted.
The group of people started climbing in a hurry.
"Outlander, do you want to survive after breaking Master Ma's rules? Take your life!"
The leader, Scarface, fiercely took out arrows and shot them. More than a hundred strong men opened their bows at the same time. The sky was full of arrows and rained down on everyone. Fortunately, the dense vegetation blocked the rain of arrows, and only a few people were injured.
"Whoosh!"
A feather arrow was shot from a high position and pierced the throat of a strong man.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
With shouts of killing everywhere, the ambush soldiers rushed out from the mountains and quickly wiped out this strong group.
Looking at the scarred face in front of him, Gu Yanwu asked coldly: "Do you want to die or live?"
"If you want to live, please spare my life." Looking at the fierce scarred face, he turned out to be a softie.
Gu Yanwu was amused: "You are aware of current affairs, answer my questions truthfully, and I will save you from death!"
"Thank you, Master".
"Tell me, who came here?"
"Master Maqima".
"Where are the people from the Gansu Horse Trading Company that you killed last time buried?"
"At Mr. Ma's forest farm, if you want to know the specific location, I'm willing to take you there."
“Very good!”
Gu Yanwu suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, "The laws of heaven are clear, no omissions should be missed! Let's go to Majia Manor and eliminate harm for the people of Xining!"
"Yes", Tian Zhimu responded with a cold light in his eyes.
Although the Ma family in Xining had 2,000 private soldiers, they were scattered in various places. There were only 800 people in the manor. They were just private soldiers. Their combat power was far inferior to that of the officers and soldiers, and they were quickly killed and dispersed.
Looking at the approaching sergeant, Ma Qi yelled crazily: "How dare you attack my Ma's manor? I am the governor of Tian~"
"Poof!"
Tian Zhimu raised a knife and quickly killed him.
"Kill them all, leaving no chickens or dogs behind." In the howling north wind, this sound spread far away.
The Ma family in Xining was exterminated for killing the salesperson of the Gansu Horse Trading Company. Other wealthy families, such as the Mu family, the Su family, and the Tian family; and some chieftains, such as the Tu chieftains Chen, Li, Qi, and Zhao,
Tibetan chieftain Nashi and others are all timid.
Ma Zheng was successfully implemented throughout Gansu Province, and Emperor Guangwu ordered Gansu's experience to be promoted nationwide.
