Chapter 88
Standing in front of Ma Xing for only a moment, Luo Gang was already sweating like a puddle. A person who can be called a good name is so unbearable right now.Taking a look at Xiao Cheng next to him, he still looked like a cloudless wind, which made him even more embarrassed.

They are all mixed in Bianliang, why is there such a big gap?

In fact, Xiao Cheng, who seemed very calm at the moment, was also piercing his back and felt uncomfortable.

Ma Xing in front of him gave people too much pressure.

Or when you were in Bianliang, when you saw those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, either in your own mansion or in someone else's mansion, the identity of meeting you was not an officer but an elder, and it naturally felt like a spring breeze.

But at the moment, he is serving as the first officer of the Guangrui army to relocate to the town in the capacity of the eighth-rank undertaker, while Luo Gang is the assistant to the first officer. With a formal dispatch, in front of Ma Xing, his feelings are naturally different.

Ma Xing is very tall, not shorter than his elder brother, but extremely thin. His official robes look empty on his body, but wherever he stands, he is like a pine tree proud of snow and independent, with two eyes on the two of them. Swiping around on his body, the meaning of scrutiny is too obvious.

"Too young." After a long while, Ma Xing said indifferently: "If it wasn't for the fact that you all marched quickly along the way, and Qiu did not commit any crimes, I would have rebuked Xiao Changqing in writing. If not, it can be seen that Xiao Ding really has a set of training. It is possible to be led by two of you who have never led troops and have no practical experience. I am looking forward to Xiao Changqing even more."

Xiao Cheng smiled slightly, "The appeasement made Miaozan."

"I'm not praising you, I'm praising Xiao Changqing." Ma Xing snorted, turned and walked to the big case, sat down, and looked down at the two of them condescendingly. "However, Xiao Changqing has the confidence to let his younger brother and future brother-in-law have some military exploits, and it is understandable. As long as you don't make mistakes, then Ma will also fulfill you, but if you make mistakes? Hehe, I don't care if you are scheming. The son of the family is still the son of the prime minister of the East Mansion, and he will still be sent back to Bianliang in a chariot."

Luo Gang was full of dissatisfaction and wanted to argue a few words, saying that there were many unexpected situations along the way, all of which were resolved one by one by Xiao Cheng, but when he looked up, he saw the cold light in Ma Xing's triangular eyes. He swallowed hard again.

Well, as long as it's not beheaded on the spot.If something goes wrong, you will escort me in a chariot. As long as I leave this Yan'an mansion, I will still be able to sit in the carriage, eat delicious food, and travel back to Bianliang leisurely.

"Although you can rest assured, Xiao Cheng is young, but he knows the importance, and he never dares to miss the official business. My brother also made me the first officer after much consideration. It's not because I'm his brother!" Glancing at Ma Xing, he smiled slightly and said, "Furthermore, although Xiao Cheng is young, he does not need such military skills to add brilliance. For next year's Jinshi examination, Xiao Cheng will definitely reserve a place."

Ma Xing was stunned. He had been serving in other places for a long time, and even though he took up the post of appeasement envoy this time, he had not had time to return to Bianliang to thank him. I really didn't know that Xiao Cheng had a reputation for reading seeds in Bianliang, and he even got Cen Recommended by my husband.

The Jinshi Examination has always been a majestic mountain that is insurmountable for scholars. Scholars all over the world know nothing about ordinary people, but every three years, only people in their early [-]s can climb this mountain. Most of them have gone through ups and downs and experienced difficulties in scientific examinations, so there are only thirty old Mingjings and fifty young scholars. This Xiao Cheng is only sixteen years old. Or it's exaggerated ignorance.

Thinking of this, Ma Xing laughed out loud, pointed to the stool below, and said, "Sit down!"

The two of them thanked each other, and sat sideways on the stool.

"Come here, give this young man who has reserved a jinshi for next year a cup of tea!" Ma Xing turned his head and said to a guard beside him.

Xiao Cheng was stunned, and before he could react, the guard had already turned around and entered the back hall and walked out immediately, really bringing Xiao Cheng a cup of tea.

But only one cup, Luo Gang didn't have it.

Luo Gang lost his temper at this time, lowered his head, and said nothing. As for what he thought in his heart, it was unknown.

"Emissary of appeasement, this is my assistant, and it's been a lot of hard work along the way." Xiao Cheng glanced at the tea on the stool and said.

Ma Xing shook his head: "My cup of tea is for Xiao Cheng and Xiao Chongwen, who has booked a jinshi next year, but not for my subordinate Xiao Cheng. Luo Gang has no part in it. Who doesn't work hard? You Go to my gate and go under the corridors on both sides to see, what time is it, how many of those who are doing errands have already gone home? It’s hard work, it should be. Food for the king, loyalty to the king. A small first-hand assistant is a state that knows a state. When you come to me, you may not have a cup of tea. Of course, if your errands are done well in the future, I will serve you two. A cup of tea , it is not impossible. For me, it is very simple, no merit is not rewarded, merit is rewarded, and no merit is a fault.”

This is an official with a real personality.

Listening to the other party's sonorous words, Xiao Cheng not only worried about his elder brother's future.

Ma Xing is a stubborn official. This person does things or acts resolutely, but it is obvious that this person lacks the skill of being good!Blindly suppressing it, and even saying that it has passed without merit, the road to the future may not be very smooth.

"That being the case, the lower officials can't take this cup of tea to appease." Xiao Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Eldest brother has repeatedly instructed me that if you want your soldiers to use their orders, and they are united, then you have to push your clothes and push them. It is good to have good and bad food. Since Luo Gang, a subordinate of Xiaguan, can’t get a cup of tea to appease, Xiaguan will not dare to accept it.”

Luo Gang was both moved and worried when he heard that Xiao Cheng had openly rejected such a powerful appeasement envoy for his own sake. This person who killed an envoy was like slaughtering a chicken. He really annoyed him, although he didn't. As for just slaughtering the two of them, but what if they were beaten?

Could it be that my own father would come to fight with him Ma Xing for a meal?I'm afraid I have to write a letter to thank Ma Xing for disciplining their unhappy boys, right?

Ma Xing's triangular eyes narrowed again.

This kid from the Xiao family has surprised him for the second time today.

If it is the first time to say that the Jinshi is scheduled for next year, you can still say a word of incomprehension, then this time, for the sake of a companion, it is indeed very courageous to openly reject his favor.

As for that Luo Gang, compared to this Xiao Cheng, although he is a few years older, he is obviously not a high-level person. Looking at him now, he shrank his neck and wrapped his hands like a quail, looking a little angry.

"Yes, yes, it does not lose the reputation of the general family, nor does it weaken the reputation of Xiao Changqing." Staring at Xiao Cheng for a long time, Ma Xing nodded and said: "Xiao Cheng, on this road, You have also heard a lot about this official, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Cheng said honestly: "Today afternoon, when I was eating mutton steamed buns outside, I heard the shopkeeper say it for a while!"

"What do you think?" Ma Xing leaned back and looked at Xiao Cheng.

If Xiao Cheng would say that the superior is acting and the subordinate does not dare to criticize in vain, then Ma Xing thinks that this kid is just like that.

Xiao Cheng did not hesitate, and said, "Xiaguan feels that the appeasement envoy acts like the middle hall behind the appeasement envoy, with iron shoulders and sharp hands!"

Ma Xing sat up straight, "How do you say that?"

"Iron shoulders bear morals and protect the common people with hot hands!" Xiao Cheng said word by word. "Today's affairs in the Northwest, under the appeasement policy of the previous appeasement envoy, can be said to have been extremely corrupted. The text has no ability to direct the people, and the military has no ability to calm the people and protect the borders. Sitting and watching the disobedient people sit up day by day. If the appeasement ambassador does not have a pair of iron shoulders, he must not dare to take on this mess."

"How to solve the problem of protecting the common people with hot hands?"

"The hot hand against these incompetent officials is precisely to save innocent Li people from being ruined! Crying all the way, why is the whole family crying?"

"Excellent!" Ma Xing punched heavily on the desk, causing all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to fly up and crash to the ground. Ma Xing didn't care about him. After the case, he walked in front of Xiao Cheng, looked at him up and down again, and said, "That's what I thought when I wrote these four words, and for this, I would not hesitate to go through fire and water, Even if this family destroys the family, I will never regret it. After so long, no one can understand the meaning of this. I can't believe that today, you, the person who saw it for the first time, said it so clearly! I cried all the way, Why should one family cry and ten families cry? If these corrupt officials don’t cry, the people of Li will cry.”

"The meaning of appeasement and shock has been achieved, so let's do it slowly, this is a long-term solution!" Seeing Ma Xing like this, Xiao Cheng not only persuaded him.

Ma Xing laughed: "Of course I understand what you mean, and thank you for your kindness. But severe medicines are needed, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Is Li Xu already impatient?" Xiao Cheng asked in surprise.

"Since this official took office, Li Xu has stepped up his pace." Ma Xing said: "So now I urgently need a force like Xiao Changqing who can fight and win in battle, and take a good shock to deter the grass, as long as With more grass on the wall, Li Xu's rebellion will naturally be slower, and I will have more time."

"Understood." Xiao Cheng said, "My brother will definitely not be entrusted with comforting him."

"I hope he can arrive as soon as possible!" Ma Xing said: "Now these troops in the northwest can make me feel at ease. There are really few, but these few, but they cannot leave the station at will."
