Ma Bo didn't dare to refute, so he could only nod his head and say yes, but he didn't agree with the other party's statement in his heart. It has been more than a year since the Haihan people settled in Dengzhou, and although they still maintain their rule in Fushan County and do not continue to expand abroad, Ma Bo is well aware of the changes that have quietly taken place in this ruling area. The actual control of the Ming here has fallen to an all-time low, and it is even far worse than when the Denglai Rebellion occurred, no one regards the county government in Fushan County as an authority, and no one expects the Ming army in Dengzhou City to "recover the lost territory", and the base built by the Haihan people on Zhifu Island is the real center of the local area, and more and more people choose to join the camp of the Haihan, accept their military protection, or become a link in their vast trade network.

The Ma family is the representative of the change of camp, from the Ming squire to the marriage with the high-ranking officials of the Haihan, the Ma family only took less than a year to complete this identity change, and became the main spokesperson of the Haihan in the local area. If the Ming government still had substantial influence in Fushan County, it would be impossible for the Ma family to take the initiative to complete such a change if they took care of the family's future. And now that the Ma clan has gone too far, it is impossible to turn back—at least for the vast majority of people except Ma Bo.

The reason why Ma Bo chose another path was because the marriage between Haihan and the Ma family was a little late, which made him miss the opportunity to choose a side, and secondly, he thought that the Ming Dynasty would eventually recapture Fushan County, and at that time, the Ma family would inevitably be liquidated by the government, and the people who could stay to protect the Ma family's property might be the only one who Ma Bo could do.

But looking at the current situation, Haihan had no intention of leaving here and returning to the south, and he also established a new stronghold in Liaodong across the sea. And the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou City did not see any decent actions except for some assassination and sneak attacks that could not be put on the stage. A few days ago, the Haihan army even robbed a horse farm of the Ming army and brought back hundreds of war horses, which is well known in Majiazhuang, but Dengzhou did not react at all, as if it had nothing to do with it at all. If it was really as the black shadow said, how could the Ming army turn a blind eye to this.

Ma Bo actually regretted it a little in his heart, he just wanted to protect himself and save a bloodline for the Ma clan, maybe he could fight for a fortune from it. But now it seems that this choice is just jumping from one thief ship to another, and the risks faced have not become any smaller, and it is difficult to have an accurate judgment of which is better or worse.

In October, the Dengzhou government organized a surprise attack on Majiazhuang, and although Ma Bo did not witness the brief and bloody battle at the scene, he saw it with his own eyes when the carriage brought the bodies of the assassins from the battlefield. The bloody corpses gave him a great shock, and he began to truly realize the cruelty of this struggle. Hearing that several other people had been captured, Ma Bo was really afraid that the Haihan people would find out about him from these captives, because he provided information to the middlemen about Chen Yixin's work and rest, and then sent it back to Dengzhou to let the Ming army plan this assassination operation.

If the truth of this matter is known to Chen Yixin, Ma Bo can be sure that the marriage between the Ma family and him will not play the slightest role in protecting himself, so for him, there is no turning back now, and he can only be at the mercy of others. But he no longer dares to hope that the government can drive Haihan out of Shandong in a short period of time, and a small person like him, either side of the two sides can crush him with a finger, so he can only find a balance between the two sides with difficulty, and try his best not to offend both.

"It doesn't matter if you collect that money surnamed Liu or not, you just need to keep an eye on him and see what other actions he has next. The black shadow admonished again: "He is just a little civil official who has just come to Shandong, don't be afraid of him, in my opinion, he may not dare to provoke you." In short, don't panic, don't forget who is behind you!"

After Ma Bo exited the room, he sighed slowly, he knew that his status was low, and no one could afford to provoke him, so he could only be wronged. Not to mention the old man in the house, even if it is Liu Shang, who seems harmless, he is also an official with the status of the Haihan State, and it is not something that he can deal with as a rich man in the countryside.
