The first thing Ma Xing, the new pacifier of Shaanxi Road, did when he took office shocked the government and the public.

He brazenly moved the headquarters of his pacification envoy away from the prosperous and comfortable Jingzhao Mansion, and jumped forward to Yan'an Mansion in Shaanzhou.

In Ma Xing's words, if Yan'an is safe, then Jingzhao Mansion is safe. As a pacifier, how can I not station myself in Yan'an but in Jingzhao?

Zhang Kuo was still packing up his belongings and preparing to return to Bianliang. Ma Xing gave the order and the entire pacification envoy went north to Yan'an.

Zhang Kuo, the former pacifier, was left in the Jingzhao Mansion. Apart from gnashing his teeth with hatred, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only seize the time and left the Jingzhao Mansion in embarrassment, and returned to Bian.

Liang.

Naturally, the news about Ma Xingnao spread back to Bianliang. After Zhang Kuo returned to Bianliang, he would have to give a reasonable explanation for why he had been stationed in Jingzhao Mansion for several years.

The reasons are of course easy to find, but the image in the minds of officials is probably difficult to regain.

Why are you afraid of competing?

Compared with Zhang Kuo and Ma Xing, it seems that they are not on the same level.

Xiao Cheng was sitting at a small table on the roadside in a mutton soup restaurant. He was happily breaking up the hard buns and throwing them into the bowl. Then he watched the fat shopkeeper pour a spoonful of mutton soup on top.

.

He just arrived at Yan'an Prefecture today.

Naturally, it was impossible for the subordinates he brought to enter the city and could only camp outside the city. However, he took Luo Gang and Han Zong into the city. He first went to appease the envoy and handed a note, and then found this person.

We can see the mutton soup restaurant at the gate of the comforting envoy, so we are going to offer sacrifices to the five internal organs temple first.

"Erlang, why do you break this steamed bun into so many pieces?" Han Zou on one side was a little impatient. He pulled the hard steamed bun so patiently that it made him feel like a cat scratching his heart. It was too big. Erlang wanted to say, he

If you are not careful, you will knead it with your big hands, and the bun will turn into powder again. It is just a meal, why is it so troublesome?

"This is the essence of eating mutton steamed buns." Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Be patient and you will feel the benefits when you eat it later."

"I can't tell that this official is not a local, but he is still an expert at eating mutton steamed buns." The fat shopkeeper scooped up a ladle of soup and glanced at the buns of different sizes in Luo Gang's bowl with some disgust.

After pouring the soup down, compared with Xiao Cheng, there was much less dried meat inside. Luo Gang felt depressed for a while, but he was too lazy to argue with this guy. Besides, he had never eaten such food before.

, he didn’t say much at the moment and just started working.

"Shopkeeper, you have a great store. Opposite is the Ambassador's Office, so business must be booming!" Xiao Cheng chatted with the shopkeeper while eating.

"Yes, yes, thanks to the Pacifier, since the Pacifier's office was set up here, the business of the villain's shop has become better and better day by day. In a few days, the little man is planning to expand the store.

Times!" When he mentioned this, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled crookedly.

"That's good. Ma Anping Envoy moved the town to Yan'an. The benefits to Yan'an will be huge!" Xiao Cheng deeply felt the same. No matter where such an important yamen is moved, it will have a great impact on the local politics and economy.

etc. can be a huge boost.

"Yes, yes, now our Yan'an Mansion is much more prosperous than before! Officials like you from Bianliang were rarely seen before, but now, you can see them almost every day." The shopkeeper said.

He nodded.

"How do you know we are from Bianliang?" Luo Gangda asked with interest.

"What's so difficult about this?" the shopkeeper said with a smile, "You can recognize the accents of several officials as soon as you hear them."

"Is it so obvious?" Luo Gang turned to look at Xiao Cheng.

"It is indeed obvious." Xiao Cheng said: "But this store owner is also well-informed and can accurately distinguish the accents of various places. It might not be enough to change someone else, right?"

"The official praised me." The store owner smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, what do you think of our current comfort envoy?" Luo Gang suddenly asked.

The smile on the store owner's face suddenly faded. He glanced at the three of them and said, "Aren't the three censors from the capital? A private visit in private? This eldest brother doesn't look like a censor, but a guard, right?"

"How can you tell that we look like censors?"

"Otherwise, why would you ask these things as soon as you open your mouth?" The shopkeeper said, "It's said in the play!"

Xiao Cheng and Luo Gang both laughed.

"We are really not censors, we are just curious." Xiao Cheng reached out and took out dozens of copper coins from his arms and placed them on the table. However, they were far more than the value of three bowls of mutton steamed buns.

"Let's not hide it from the store. We do come from a family of officials, so we want to know more about the comfort envoy."

"To tell the truth to the store." Luo Gang lowered his voice and said: "My family has an old relationship with Ma Xiuzhi, so we are here to work with Xiuzhi. We have to ask around. If Xiuzhi is Kuanhe, we will go, otherwise

, we will go home."

It turned out to be a few idle young men!

The store owner immediately looked at the two men with contempt, but for the sake of the copper coins, it was fleeting. He half-crouched with a smile, swept the coins into his apron, and tied a knot to wrap it up.

, then he said: "If you two officials are afraid of being restrained, I think it would be better for you to go back early."

"Why is this?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"Since Ma Yasuo arrived here, he has killed seven or eight officials." The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said: "They used to be famous figures on our Shaanxi road, and they were carried like little chickens from Yasuo's house.

Grab it out, right in front of the street, right there, that’s the place!”

The shopkeeper pointed to the end of the street.

"When the knife goes down, blood splatters three feet. I heard from the diners who ate steamed buns here that there is a commander and several chief and deputy commanders here, tsk tsk tsk!"

"Why cut them?"

"Anyway, it's just about eating empty wages, drinking soldiers' blood, bullying men, dominating women, and occupying fields. There's no war now!" The shopkeeper whispered: "It's not just military generals, but also some civil servants. They all seemed to be romantic in the past.

The suave ones ended up being arrested one by one and thrown into a cage, and they were said to be sent to Bianliang to be punished!"

This is the gap. Military generals, even if you are the commander or the pacifier, you will be killed if you ask for it, but a civil servant, even a lowly official, has to be escorted back to Bianliang.

Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder where these unlucky people with their heads cut off come from?"

"They're from the Security Army, the Suide Army, and I heard there's even one from Huanzhou!" the shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Anyway, they're from everywhere. Even though it hasn't been long since our pacifier took office, there are already people outside calling

He will be beheaded immediately."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiao Cheng took out a few more copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the shopkeeper, waving him back.

"This horse pacifier is really a tiger!" Luo Gang said with a smile: "First, Zhang Lang was not allowed to come to the stage, and he turned back to Bianliang in shame and shame. Then he went on a killing spree, shocking everyone. This time, I'm afraid

People from all walks of life in Shaanxi must be honest."

"Being honest on the surface does not mean that the pacifier can truly gather people's hearts and do something." Xiao Cheng said: "Killing blindly is not the answer. Let's take a look at the pacifier's other follow-up policies.

The right approach is to fight and pull at the same time. Otherwise, if you use high pressure and alienate the people below, big problems may arise at critical moments."

"Chongwen is right!" Luo Gang nodded.

"Yuting, have you noticed that the people whose heads were chopped off as mentioned by the shop just now include almost all the military states on the border, but there are only no border troops?" Xiao Cheng said.

Luo Gang was startled at first, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, is it possible that the Dingbian army can emerge from the mud without being stained, wash the green lotus without being evil, and stand out in this place that is full of filth?"

"I'm afraid not." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the problem with the Dingbian Army is so big that Ma Xing dare not deal with it brutally for fear of causing unrest. The second possibility is that

I want to see if my brother’s ability can rectify the Dingbian Army.”

"Which one do you think it is?" Luo Gang asked.

"What I fear most is having both talents!" Xiao Cheng sighed and said, "It seems that the first thing my brother did when he arrived in Dingbian City was a huge difficulty."

Luo Gang suddenly became nervous: "Then will it be dangerous for us to go to Dingbian Town this time? Ma Xing's plan is clearly to cause trouble. The Dingbian Army will not rebel when they see something is wrong, right?

"

"You're overthinking!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Hengshan Dangxiang doesn't dare to rebel now! Gan Ning and Li Xu are still waiting and watching. The Dingbian Army is a fool!"

"I'm just afraid that he will jump over the wall in a hurry!" Luo Gang said.

"It is possible." Xiao Cheng said: "Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, if the eldest brother is not here, we will never provoke them. Okay, okay, let's not talk about these useless things. We are all full.

Well, we should go to the concierge and wait there, we can’t let the conciliator find us when he is about to summon us.”

In fact, Xiao Cheng still misestimated the weight of people like himself.

In the side room waiting for the summons at the door of the pacifier, he and Luo Gang sat for an entire hour. Seeing that it was almost dark, they were about to get up and leave when they finally waited for the summons from the pacifier Ma Xing.
