Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

With an initiate and a seal, Fang Keming simply gave up resistance.

Since there is no possibility of resistance, it is better to be free and easy, at least to be worthy of the title of celebrity.

"There are no mediocre people among the thirteen retainers of the Ma family. There is no need to alarm the three masters to deal with a Confucian scholar like me."

Fang Keming was also a little proud in his heart. Three retainers of the Ma family came to deal with him, a treatment that no other cicada catcher in the martial arts world had.

Ma Qi straightened his clothes, bowed to Fang Keming like a scholar, and said.

"Student Ma Qi, greetings to the teacher."

Fang Keming waved his hands and said, "Seventh Master and I are enemies now. I cannot bear the title of sir."

Ma Qi walked around casually and said.

"I ask how you are, sir, because I want to thank you for teaching me the Confucian way. Mr. Fang, there is no need to be modest.

Sir, you are not wrong to think that the three of us brothers came here at the same time because of you.

However, to kill the master, Lao Jiu alone is enough."

"Oh? Could it be that the Seventh Master and the Fourth Master are here... to persuade us to surrender?" Fang Keming said disdainfully.

Ma Qi sneered: "Sir, you are too immodest to think so.

Fourth brother came here so as not to disturb the students in the academy from studying.

As for me, I came here to reason with the gentleman."

When Fang Keming heard that Ma Qi wanted to reason with him, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Seventh Master, please stop joking. You are being too arrogant to reason with me.

I, Fang Keming, believe I am worthy of my family, the imperial court, and the world."

Ma Qi shook his head: "Sir, you are wrong. You planned to kill a young man who was born indestructible. This is wrong in itself, not to mention..."

"That's enough, Master Qi. There's no need to argue with me about right and wrong..."

"Bang~..."

Fang Keming interrupted Ma Qi and said that he didn't want to say anything more to Ma Qi.

But before he could finish his words, Judge Ma Qi used his pen to shatter the stone under Fang Keming's butt.

Fang Keming sat down on the ground, all his gentlemanly demeanor gone.

Fang Keming had just raised his head in embarrassment when Ma Qi's judge's pen stopped at his brow.

As long as Ma Qi has the intention, Fang Keming's head will be shattered.

Ma Qi still spoke gently.

"Mr. Fang, can you listen to me now?"

Fang Keming's heart trembled. He had never been so close to death.

Fang Keming has been studying Confucianism for decades and considers himself a disciple of a sage. He has long since achieved the point where he has the principles of heaven in his heart and is not afraid of the axe or sword.

But when faced with life and death, human instinct prevails over everything.

Fang Keming has only one wish at this moment, as long as he can stay alive, nothing else matters.

Ma Qi was very satisfied with Fang Keming's silence at this time. This confirmed Ma Zhan's words that winning people over with virtue was indeed the way to do it.

Ma Qi put away the judge's pen and spoke.

"Mr. Fang said he was worthy of the family, so I, Ma Qi, will tell you.

In Qingshui City, or Wei Weijun, or even Dongshan Road, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Ma family.

Sir, you should thank my third brother for seeing through your plan in advance.

If the plan is implemented, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the Jizhong Fang family will cease to exist."

Fang Keming was unable to refute Ma Qi. What frightened him even more was that the strength of the Ma family was far from as simple as it seemed on the surface. It was truly unfathomable.

"Your Ma family treats Lord Wei Wei as your own garden. From the county governor to the village head, everyone depends on your Ma family.

Lord Wei is Lord Wei of Daliang. If the Ma family behaves like this, where will the Daliang court be? "

After a brief moment of distraction, Fang Keming recovered and questioned Ma Qidao.

This question made Ma Qi a little angry.

"You are a corrupt scholar who has become stupid from reading too much, and you are unworthy of being called a disciple of the Sage of the Heart.

Lord Weiwei is the Lord Weiwei of the people of Weiwei. My Ma family has been running the business for generations. The tax revenue of Lord Weiwei is several times higher than that of Jizhongzhou, and the people are rich and healthy.

Every penny earned by the Ma family came from their own business, and they never annexed the land of the common people.

You have also studied and traveled around the world.

Open your eyes and look at Beihe Road, Nanhe Road, and Hanzhong.

Which noble family does not own thousands of acres of fertile land? The common people work hard all their lives but still remain poor.

You've forgotten that the current head of the Ma family is Princess Yuehua of Daliang. What are you barking about here?"

Ma Qi's words left Fang Keming unable to refute them because what Ma Qi said was all facts, not sophistry.

Fang Keming stopped pestering and went straight to another topic.

"The child's identity is unclear, and being born indestructible is not necessarily a good thing.

If this matter were to be publicized, it would surely cause chaos in the martial arts world."

When Fang Keming said this, it seemed as if he had touched some taboo.

The three brothers were all angry. Ma Qizhi used the judge's pen to hit Fang Keming in the face in mid-air.

"Damn it, Hu Zi is the son of my third brother and his wife, who dares to say that his identity is questionable?

Born indestructible, my Ma family will protect him with all their might. Who dares to come out and make trouble?"

Fang Keming spat out a mouthful of blood. Ma Zhan's threat that he was born indestructible was completely false, and Ma Qi's answer was obviously bullying.

On this issue, it is obvious that whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.

Fang Keming's words that he was worthy of his family, the court, and the world were refuted one by one by Ma Qi.

Although he was not quite convinced, he didn't know where Ma Qi learned this method of beating someone up first and then reasoning with them.

"I, Fang Keming, have lived a glorious life. This incident was caused by me, and the Li family was implicated because of me. It is all my fault.

Master Qi, let’s get started~

Considering that I taught you Confucianism, please let me suffer less."

Ma Qi put away the judge's pen and said, "Fang Keming, you have caused the destruction of the Li family in Qingshui City, and you deserve to die.

The head of the family, considering that you were coerced by people in the palace, ordered me to spare your life and teach the students of Qingshui City honestly in Qingshui Academy.

My Ma family has always won people over with virtue, are you dissatisfied?"

Fang Keming really wanted to say, "I'm really impressed. Is there anyone who can win people over with virtue like you?"

But the situation was stronger than the person, Fang Keming nodded.

"I accept."

Then Fang Keming asked tentatively.

"Seventh Master, the two Li brothers are good kids. I led them astray. I don't know how they..."

"Take care of yourself, Qingshui City does not allow traitors to appear.

The Ma family gave them everything, but they didn't cherish it. I allow you to collect the bodies of the two brothers."

When Ma Qi's voice came, the three brothers had already turned and left, leaving Fang Keming with their backs.

Fang Keming stood up awkwardly, facing west, and muttered to himself.

"Father, I almost became the sinner of the Fang family."

Then he looked up at the sky.

"Sir, am I really wrong?"

While Fang Keming was struggling with whether he was right or wrong, Ma San searched the yard of the water shop for the bodies of the assassin and the formation master.

Put the one with words on it away and show it to your wife when you get home.

After a while, a group of people on foot carried back a young man.

As soon as Li Erlang climbed over the wall, he was caught by a net.

Several people quickly tied up the four legs of the pig, put it through the middle of a carrying pole, and carried it back to the water shop.
