Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 3
"Miss Cheng, why are you here?" Bai Xiuyuan asked gently, without doubt in his tone, and he didn't regard her as an outsider in his heart.

Cheng Qing lowered his head and said softly: "I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect that it would drag you into trying to save me."

Qi Diaolie was a rough man and couldn't bear to hear her kind words, so he said anxiously: "Sister, what do you mean by not being implicated or not? From now on, you will regard me, Black Face Lie, as your brother. I will beat up whoever dares to bully you."

As he spoke, he showed his fist as big as a bowl.

Cheng Qing frowned and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Lie."

Seeing the close relationship between Qi Diaolie and Cheng Qing, the other generals suddenly became jealous, and one by one they began to express their sincerity.

"Me too!"

"Me too, Miss Cheng, my name is Yang Zijin!"

"My, my name is Wu Hong!"

Qi Diaolie blocked them for a moment, snorted arrogantly, and said, "You are just envious, why are you so anxious? Don't scare Xiao Qing."

Cheng Qing was really dumbfounded. If they knew she was Cheng Yue, let's see if they would dare to do this.

Looking at Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue's similar eyebrows and even their expressions, Bai Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown. He always felt that there was something he didn't know, but he couldn't see the truth clearly through a layer of veil.

"Generals."

The voice of a flattering and groveling middle-aged man came from behind Qi Diaolie and the others.

Everyone looked around and saw several people in civilian uniforms, all of them cautious.

Qi Diaolie got angry when he saw him, and was about to roll up his sleeves to trouble them, but Bai Xiuyuan stepped forward and blocked him.

The others automatically blocked Cheng Qing behind them, blocking them tightly, never letting these dog officials see her.

Such maintenance made Cheng Qing laugh and couldn't help but shake his head.

Bai Xiuyuan bowed his hands to the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs and said politely: "I am Bai Xiuyuan, the military advisor under Marshal Cheng Yue. I have met all of you."

"A good strategist is a good strategist." The members of the household department were sweating. How dare they underestimate this young strategist.However, I had already scolded Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance so much in my heart that he had taken all the benefits by himself. He had to take the risk to face these gangsters and ask them to do it. Fortunately, he met someone who was reasonable.

"My lords, to be honest, we are here because of the fact that Marshal Cheng's family has never received subsidies. We hope that the adults will tell us what the reason is?" Bai Xiuyuan's tone was calm and polite, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

The right minister of the Ministry of Revenue said with an apologetic smile: "We all give out subsidies according to the list given by the Ministry of War. I remember that Marshal Cheng's family is given subsidies every month. As for why they didn't receive it, we don't know."

"You're playing tricks on us!" Qi Diaolie frowned angrily.

The right servant's legs were shaking with fright, his face was pale, and he was sweating more and more, and said: "It's true, it's true. There are still account books in the Ministry of Revenue that can be checked. If the general doesn't believe it, you can report it to the emperor. With the emperor's permission, I The account books will be presented to the generals for inspection later."

Bai Xiuyuan saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he said: "We understand. Please come and make a trip, sir. We will report this matter to the emperor."

"No, you're welcome." After several Ministry of Revenue officials said this, they backed away with helpless hands and feet.

Bai Xiuyuan shook his head slightly. After all, these officials have experienced officialdom, so I'm afraid they will be so afraid.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuyuan's mind suddenly became clear.No, even these officials are afraid, why isn't Cheng Qing afraid of them?
Remembering Cheng's father's reaction, Bai Xiuyuan had more and more doubts in his heart.

Qi Diaolie said: "Military advisor, why did you let them go? They must be the ones responsible for the marshal's house!"

Tao Liangting followed behind and said, "Yes, if you let them go this time, you won't have a chance next time." Both of them were very impatient, so Bai Xiuyuan had to put aside his doubts and reassure them first: "Don't be anxious. This matter won't end here, if they really swallow up the Cheng family's subsidy, I will make them spit out every penny."

Qi Diaolie and others had unconditional trust in him. Since the military advisor told them not to be anxious, they should not be anxious yet.

After comforting them, Bai Xiuyuan walked behind Qi Diaolie and the others. When he saw that Cheng Qing was still there and not at all panicked, he couldn't help but feel some admiration for her. Even they would feel a little uncomfortable from time to time when facing this scene. Steady, but she was so calm and unhurried.

Cheng Qing did come back with serious injuries half a month ago, but it was not fatal. She recovered quickly. Later, she also investigated the reason why their family did not receive the subsidy. However, during the investigation, she was chased by a killer. kill.

This made her wonder, how much was her subsidy?The other party was even willing to send out killers to prevent her from investigating.

"Miss Cheng."

Bai Xiuyuan's soft and clean voice without any impurities brought her back to her thoughts.

Cheng Qing looked at him.

"You haven't received the subsidy, can you come to the transfer department?" Bai Xiuyuan asked.

Cheng Qing nodded and said, "We've been here before, but the gatekeeper didn't let us in."

"Then have you ever gone to their house?" Bai Xiuyuan continued to ask.

Cheng Qing said: "They have also been there, but they don't recognize us as Cheng's family at all."

"Damn, that's unreasonable!" Qi Diaolie couldn't help but scolded: "These sons of bitches are so heartless! We are working desperately on the front line, but they are even greedy for our lives and money! Are they still shameless? !”

Bai Xiuyuan frowned and said: "The fourth prince has gone back to report to the emperor. We have been delayed here for too long, and the emperor may not be happy either. You go to the palace first, and I will send Miss Cheng back."

"Okay, military master, you have to protect my sister." Qi Diaolie instructed.

"What's your sister? She's ours's sister!" The others were not willing to lag behind him.

Qi Diaolie giggled and said, "Well, everyone's girl."

……

The place where passionate people are is always lively. Cheng Qing seemed to be able to feel their presence after following Bai Xiuyuan for a long time.

Some nostalgia and some melancholy.

Bai Xiuyuan said: "They are like that, Miss Cheng, don't be surprised."

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "How could that happen?"

"Everyone will be afraid when they see these few, but Miss Cheng is not afraid at all. I admire this kind of courage." Bai Xiuyuan praised.

Cheng Qing, who knew his temperament very well, glanced at him and poured her the ecstasy soup. Was he trying to trick her?

Unfortunately, the calculation was wrong.

"They are my brother's brothers just like you. Whether you or they protect my brother like this, how can I be afraid? If my brother can come back, he should be like you, right?" Cheng Qing said sadly. A lot.
