Chapter 1012: Besieging the Xu Mansion
More than a hundred horsemen and several carriages approached at a rapid pace and stopped in front of the crowd. Liu Shouyou rode a horse, and his gaze swept over everyone. Luo Xin pushed open the carriage door and got out of the carriage, and the officials in front of the city gate rushed over to meet the chincha. Luo Xin beckoned to Lu Daqing and said softly:
"Number One!"
Lu Daqing took out a holy decree marked No. 1 from a push in the carriage, pulled it out of the sleeve, and handed it to Luo Xin with both hands. Luo Xin held the holy decree in both hands and looked at the officials. The officials had already knelt down, and Luo Xin read out the decree.
The content of the holy decree is actually very simple, that is, to tell the officials of the entire southeast that from the beginning of the direction, the entire southeast is Luo Xin's decision, and Luo Xin has the right to cut first and then play.
Although the content is simple, this right is great!
You can cut it first and then play it!
If you don't have this right, even if you are arrested by Luo Xin, you will have time to operate through officialdom and make yourself innocent and even meritorious.
But......
Chop first, then play!
"Click", the head is gone, and you won't have time to operate at all!
Those civil officials are honest, even Zhang Juzheng is frightened. They didn't have the strength to resist at all, but the hundred brocade guards were able to clean them up honestly.
And those military attaches were also frightened, even Hu Zongxian was uneasy. They have soldiers under them. If someone else is a messenger and forces them to be anxious, they can kill the messenger.
However, this is Luo Xin!
This is the god of war!
It can be said unceremoniously that in the southeast, Hu Zongxian's prestige in the army is not as high as Luo Xin's, and that is Luo Xin's own prestige. If Hu Zongxian wants to use troops to kill Luo Xin, I am afraid that his soldiers will tie up Hu Zongxian instead. Even Hu Zongxian is like this, let alone other generals?
That's prestige.
Luo Xin simply fought here, which made the entire civil and military officials in the southeast tremble.
Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing looked at the hundreds of civil and military officials in the southeast who had been unruly to the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
In the southeast, he can't compare with Luo Xin at all, and he can't compare with him in all aspects.
But......
Is it just the southeast?
Luo Xin's prestige in the north is greater, right?
If Luo Xin was in the north, the civil and military officials in the north would also be frightened, right?
When Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing were in the capital, they didn't feel how powerful Luo Xin was, but now seeing Luo Xin's prestige in the southeast made the two of them frightened.
Especially Zhang Juzheng, he had a feeling at this time, that is, in the capital, everyone did not feel Luo Xin's prestige, and Luo Xin himself was low-key, which made people feel that Luo Xin and Xu Jie were many levels apart.
However, now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Xu Jie can only suppress Luo Xin in the capital, and once he leaves the capital, Xu Jie is not Luo Xin's opponent at all.
And through this incident, Emperor Jiajing sent Luo Xin as a messenger, what does this mean?
This shows that in the capital, Xu Jie can't suppress Luo Xin.
"Lord Luo, I have already arranged a banquet......" Hu Zongxian was the highest rank here, so he stepped forward and said to Luo Xin with a smile.
However, before he finished speaking, Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Master Hu, how many soldiers did you bring from Suzhou this time?" ”
"Two thousand!" Hu Zongxian was stunned for a moment, but replied immediately.
"Tune it to me!" Luo Xin said lightly.
Hu Zongxian was shocked in his heart, could it be that Luo Xin wanted to deal with him and give him military power first?
Then he asked nervously, "My lord, what do you want to ......?"
"Go to Songjiang, Xufu."
Hu Zongxian's expression was certain, and he secretly said in his heart, it seems that this is Luo Xin going to do something to the Xu Mansion. Immediately puffed out his chest and said:
"I'll go with you."
Luo Xin nodded, he didn't pay attention to the other officials in the southeast at all, he got back into the carriage, and Hu Zongxian led two thousand cavalry in a hurry, followed Luo Xin and Jinyiwei, and headed towards Songjiang.
The officials in the entire southeast looked at each other, and Zhang Juzheng was even more anxious, this is going to do something to the teacher's family!
Immediately followed in a carriage, other officials in the southeast, look at me, I look at you, although Luo Xin didn't let them follow, but he didn't let them go back!
Who would dare to go back without permission like that!
So, the civil officials rode in carriages, and the military attaches rode horses, all heading towards Songjiang.
It was nearly dusk.
Matsue.
Xufu.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves made the earth tremble.
A few housekeepers in front of the Xu Mansion stared in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came, and then their faces turned pale, and their backs were cold, and a layer of cold sweat broke out. They saw a large number of cavalry thinking about them, and the Xu Mansion was heading straight for them.
"Surrounded!"
As soon as Hu Zongxian gave an order, the two thousand cavalry "hula" and surrounded the entire Xu Mansion. The family members were so frightened that they ran towards the house.
Back garden.
Xu Luqing, Xu Kun and Xu Ying were sitting in their grandmother's room, and the faces of the three of them were very ugly.
"Grandmother, do we really have to listen to our father?" Xu Kun said.
"Nonsense!" Xu Luqing said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that the two of you didn't know how to measure, how could the Xu family suffer from this catastrophe?" ”
"Brother, you can't say that, you and your father are officials in the court, and you don't know the difficulties of running a family. We are also for the family, if it weren't for me and my third brother to run the family, where would you and your father have such a leisurely life in the capital? ”
"Leisurely? You say we're laid-back? ”
"That's it!" Grandmother slapped the table and said, "Our Xu family is in trouble, but it's not that Luo Xin's vertical son can do whatever he wants." I don't believe that he really dared to copy our Xu family. ”
"Oh no!"
And at this time, the housekeeper of the Xu family rushed in with a rolling belt: "Old ancestor, eldest son, it's not good." ”
"Bastard!" Xu Luqing took the case: "What nonsense? Who's bad. ”
"The eldest prince ......," the butler said tremblingly, "officers and soldiers...... Officers and soldiers ......"
Xu Luqing's face changed: "What's wrong with the officers and soldiers?" ”
"Officers and soldiers...... Put our house ...... I was surrounded...... It's all ...... Cavalry. ”
Mrs. Xu, who was still menacing just now, fainted with a "bang", Xu Kun and Xu Ying were so frightened that they slipped out of the chair and slipped to the ground, only Xu Luqing, who had seen the world in the capital, was still able to stand there, but his face was also pale. Secretly said in my heart:
"Could it be...... Father has already had an accident in the capital? ”
But at this time, he couldn't care so much, took two steps and came to the front of the old lady, and called urgently:
"Grandmother, grandmother......"
The old lady opened her eyes, and then began to weep. Xu Luqing said to Xu Kun and Xu Ying:
"Why don't you two come over and take care of Grandmother?"
