Chapter 220 Eyes look at the nose, nose looks at the heart!
After Chang Yao stood up, Wen Yuanzhong looked at Lu Xu immediately. Obviously, he already knew what Chang Yao was going to say. He even knew that Lu Xu had the confidence for Chang Yao to stand up.
Lu Xu looked at Wen Yuanzhong calmly. Anyway, this matter was also beneficial to Wen Yuanzhong. He couldn't just pick it up without any attitude and without paying any price.
Seeing Lu Xu's attitude, Wen Yuanzhong turned back to Chang Yao and said, "What's the matter?"
Chang Yao was not a fool. He also saw the eye contact between Lu Xu and Wen Yuanzhong. Seeing this scene, how could he not understand? Lu Xu was supporting himself.
Chang Yao's energy doubled. However, when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by another person!
"Master Manager!" A loud shout came, and Chang Yao's words were suppressed.
Chang Yao looked dissatisfied towards the direction from which the sound came, and saw that Ma Xingzhou had stood up and saluted Wen Yuanzhong.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Ma Xingzhou with a look of excitement. They had all been angry with Ma Xingzhou to some extent, and now of course they were happy to see that Ma Xingzhou was about to suffer misfortune.
The few civil servants who have a similar stance to Ma Xingzhou obviously feel that others are hurting others.
By now, Lu Xu had understood that the civil servants present were basically going to stay on Qin Feng Road after the war started.
They may be the ones who understand Ma Xingzhou best. To them, Ma Xingzhou undertakes the most tiring and dangerous work. Isn't it natural to get some benefits? Why are they being forced by a group of Qiu Ba now?
For this reason?
As for the law of the land and justice? What is that? Do they need to care?
Lu Xu felt that they didn't care!
Otherwise, Chang Yao is not the one who should stand up now.
Although Chang Yao was indeed the victim, Chang Yao was a military general after all. In Daliang Dynasty, military generals had to pay a price for suing civilian officials.
It is no exaggeration to say that this incident will become a "stain" in Chang Yao's life. As long as the Liang Dynasty is still there, as long as the policy of using civil servants to control military forces is still there. Chang Yao, a military general who was so bold as to dare to sue civilian officials, will have to wear it for the rest of his life.
Small shoes.
Even Chang Yao's accusation may have a more terrifying result, that is, if he sues Ma Xingzhou, he may not have much time left in his life.
The situation is not much better for Lu Xu. Now that he is backing Chang Yao to sue Ma Xingzhou, he will probably be accused of "domineering" in the minds of many people, and he will also be hostile to civil servants throughout his life.
Even the Qingliu people who are working well with Lu Xu now may think that Lu Xu is a thorn in the future.
And how did Lu Xu know about Ma Xingzhou's crime? Didn't he hear it from Chang Yao in that wing? Lu Xu could hear it, and so could the civil servants present.
As long as they care about national law and justice, as civil servants they should stand up.
After all, literature is to the point of admonishment, and warriors are to the death of fighting! This has been the case since ancient times.
Now that everyone requires these rural soldiers to fight to the death like generals, then they civil servants should dare to give advice like honest ministers.
Unfortunately, these civil servants obviously failed to do this.
It can be said that after today's very unpleasant meeting, Lu Xu was completely disappointed with the civil servants and generals of the Jinglue Mansion. He was also completely disappointed with the officials of the Liang Dynasty.
But...
To say that the one who is most disappointed with these people may have to be Ma Xingzhou!
If you look at it from his perspective, there are probably all evil people in this room. Everyone wants to force him to death!
So he didn't look at anyone after he stood up, let alone Chang Yao's hostile gaze.
He just bowed directly to Wen Yuanzhong and said: "My lord, this official is not very talented and has little knowledge, so he is really not qualified for the big job. In addition, he has been overwhelmed by the military work he has been doing for a while, and his body can no longer hold on."
"I sincerely ask you to be considerate and allow me to step down from my duties and become an ordinary scribe to fight with the army."
Ma Xingzhou is about to hand over power!
He is an official of the imperial court, and it is impossible for him to resign without an order from the imperial court. But he is the quartermaster of the Jinglue Mansion, he has great power, and he has a lot of money in his hands.
Obviously, he is prepared to use his power and interests in exchange for his own life!
Wen Yuanzhong did not react immediately when he heard this. He looked at Lu Xu.
Lu Xu understood immediately. In Wen Yuanzhong's opinion, such a punishment was enough. Lu Xu sneered in his heart. He had made so many people homeless after making a fortune in the country. How could he be forgiven just by handing over power? How could it be so cheap?
thing?
So, Lu Xu simply learned and practiced it now, and he also came to watch the eyes, the nose, the nose and the heart, and he was as motionless as a mountain!
Wen Yuanzhong was convinced. He knew that Lu Xu was not going to let Ma Xingzhou go. In fact, he was mentally prepared for Lu Xu's decision. He promoted Lu Xu as his first hand and was the first to discover Lu Xu's ability.
He is an ambitious person, so he naturally understands Lu Xu very well.
He knew that Lu Xu didn't care about his eyes, so he was not surprised by Lu Xu's decision.
As a client, Ma Xingzhou was naturally very concerned about Lu Xu and Wen Yuanzhong. Seeing Lu Xu's attitude, he felt sad and angry.
At this point, he no longer cared about his dignity. Before Wen Yuanzhong spoke, he said angrily to Lu Xu: "Master Lu, you have read a book after all. Haven't you ever heard of being merciful and merciful?"
?"
Lu Xu said calmly: "I don't understand what you are saying. It is Brother Chang who is suing you today. What does it have to do with me?"
Even Chang Yao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Although he was not very smart, he couldn't play with those civil servants. But he could also see that now Lu Xu had taken over the whole matter.
Instead, he has become a mascot-like existence.
But on the surface, Lu Xu really didn't express his position at all.
Ma Xingzhou became even more sad and angry. He said: "If you don't tell secret stories, what's the point of covering it up now? As long as you let me go, I promise to never show up again from now on."
In front of you, and everything between you and me will be wiped out from now on."
"You are also a scholar. You should know that if you don't let me go, you will have to carry my life for the rest of your life."
"It's just you? You can't bear my life!"
"Pfft!" Lu Xu couldn't help laughing: "I'm sorry, I really made you laugh."
Lu Xu's smile made Ma Xingzhou furious. He stepped in front of Lu Xu and shouted: "What's so funny? Am I that funny?"
Lu Xu raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it ridiculous? You act as if I am taking your life, but your words are full of arrogance. What do you mean, I can't bear your life?"
"Let's not talk about what today's incident has to do with me. Just the life of a dog who is trying to make a fortune for the country, what can I not afford?"
