Chapter 238: Official appointment(2/2)
As for overtime pay...what good thing are you thinking about?
Most of those officials who gathered in small groups and muttered in low voices were talking about this.
Li Chengzhi has no official position and only has the title of "Captain", so naturally he can only stand at the back.
He was leaning against a pillar and squinting while listening to the nearby officials scolding Liu Huiwang and occasionally complaining about Xi Kangsheng.
Even the emperor was scolded by people, so Li Chengzhi was not surprised at all, just to relieve his boredom.
As he listened, he noticed that the voices around him suddenly became quieter, as if someone was coming. Li Chengzhi opened his eyelids and saw Da Xi walking from outside the hall with a sad face.
Got scolded?
Li Chengzhi was suspicious, and Da Xi quickly came to his side and muttered anxiously and distressedly: "The knife was taken away from my father?"
Li Chengzhi's eyes bulged: "Why?"
No matter how you look at it, Xi Kangsheng is not so stingy that he even robs his own son’s things?
"My father called us two bastards..."
Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a drum outside the hall. Da Xi looked up and saw that Xi Kangsheng had already entered the main hall.
He didn't dare to be verbose, so he tried his best to keep his voice down: "Anyway, you should handle it carefully..."
As he said this, Da Xi quickly pushed forward.
He is a fifth-rank general, only one level lower than the governor, Bijia. Therefore, he cannot stand at the end like Li Chengzhi, but in the second row.
A pair of bastards?
Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes and felt relieved.
Xi Kangsheng must have felt that it was inappropriate for him to take back the knife he gave to Zhang Jingzhi and then give it to Da Xi...
My father also said it was inappropriate. Now that I think about it, it is indeed inappropriate.
Then you can only owe it first.
As for dealing with it carefully...at most, you will get scolded.
Thinking about it in his mind, he followed the officials on the left and right and clasped his fists in the hall, calling him "Guardian".
After I straightened up, I felt a sudden silence around me. There was no sound. Those officials who were still complaining just now seemed like they didn't even dare to express their anger, let alone muttering.
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but be a little surprised: Is Xi Kangsheng so majestic?
He subconsciously turned around and saw that the officials next to him were looking at him in horror, with their faces turning pale with fright, and then he suddenly realized.
These few people were just gossiping about Xi Kangsheng, and they thought they were standing next to little shrimps with the same low official position as them. Who would have thought that this young man with only a few beards would actually be with Xi Kangsheng?
So close to the guarding servant?
If we sue them for orchestrating Xi Kangsheng's story, these people will have to shed their skin even if they don't die.
Seeing him raise his head, several officials bowed in panic, looking like they were in imminent disaster.
Li Chengzhi just smiled, didn't say much, and returned the greeting.
Seeing that his appearance was extraordinary and his power didn't seem to be that great, an official bravely asked: "Your Excellency looks strange, do you dare to ask your name?"
"My surname is Li!" Li Chengzhi smiled slightly, "My father, Li Shixian..."
"Li Shixian...Li Chengzhi?"
The official exclaimed.
Following his call, at least a dozen of them, front, back, left and right, all turned their heads as if they were equipped with switches.
Li Chengzhi?
Isn’t it the same Li Chengzhi who single-handedly put an end to the Jingzhou Rebellion?
It was not bright before, and there were not many lights in the hall, so it was not very clear. But now, looking at Li Chengzhi's appearance, how could anyone else find him in Jingzhou?
?
Good guy, he didn't even care about Xi Kangsheng in the hall. It was like the Chinese people in later generations saw giant pandas. The people in the back rows stretched out their necks, wishing they could stick to Li Chengzhi's face to see clearly. Their faces were filled with envy and confusion.
I admire it, my eyes are shining.
Li Chengzhi was not happy but was surprised: Is it going to be bad?
Sure enough, there was a roar in the hall: "You bastard... why don't you get up here?"
I'm going to be killed by you...
Li Chengzhi sighed helplessly and cupped his hands to the left and right.
After only a few breaths, he heard a rustling sound. There was a distance of five or six feet from the door to the Yamen, but as if he had been struck by a knife, dozens of officials all made way for him.
Xi Kangsheng was in the hall, and no one dared to make any noise, so they didn't dare to make a sound. But as long as Li Chengzhi passed by, no one was standing.
Those with lower official positions and younger people are doing the bow, while those with higher official positions and older people, even if they don’t know how to salute because of their status, they will nod.
These are all subordinate officials and staff of the Governor's Office. To put it bluntly, their lives, as well as the lives of their families, were all saved by Li Chengzhi...
Li Chengzhi held his fists in his arms all the way, smiling so shyly, as gentle as he wanted, as sunny as he wanted.
Many people were surprised: Is this really the Li Chengzhi who suppressed nearly 100,000 thieves, killing heads everywhere in Jingzhou City, and leaving corpses everywhere?
There are also those who react quickly, and naturally think of those rumors: insidious and cunning, the city is deep...
If he really was a good person, how could he accomplish such feats?
When he walked to the front of the hall, Li Chengzhi saw Zhang Jingzhi standing beside Xi Kangsheng, and the knife was slung on his waist.
Taking a closer look, Zhang Jingzhi's face looked a little dazed, probably because he had been scolded.
Can giving gifts bring success?
Li Chengzhi muttered to himself and bowed down with his hands raised: "I've seen the guard..."
"Bastard thing..."
Xi Kangsheng cursed and threw something into his arms, "I'll let you remember today's matters first. If you can't handle the errand, the old and new accounts will be settled together..."
Errands?
Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took the object thrown by Xi Kangsheng. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was an official order.
It's only two fingers wide, and the words on it are so small that they are almost invisible: Cang Cao joins the military!
Just give yourself such an official title?
