"Hey......"

The two men crawled to the old lady and called, "Grandmother, grandmother......"

Xu Luqing said in a condensed voice: "You two are here to take care of your grandmother, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Big brother......" Xu Kun and Xu Ying looked at Xu Luqing in fear, Xu Luqing snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, the Xu family can't do it!" ”

Xu Luqing hurriedly came to the gate, and saw a group of soldiers armed with knives and guns standing outside the door, as well as a group of officials. Luo Xin stood in the center, Hu Zongxian on his left, and Zhang Juzheng on his right. Xu Luqing couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he didn't expect that it would be Hu Zongxian who personally led the army to surround the Xu Mansion. Taking a deep breath, just as Shi Li wanted to speak, he heard Luo Xin's condensed voice:

"The emperor has an order!"

Xu Luqing swallowed back what he wanted to say, and then bowed to Luo Xin again:

"Please send in and allow the official to arrange the incense case."

"No need! It's urgent, so let's take the order here. ”

The words fell, Luo Xin had already unfolded the holy decree in his hand, Xu Luqing's face sank like water, this Luo Xin was definitely deliberate, at this time, there were many people watching around Xu Mansion, Luo Xin wanted to make Xu Mansion publicly embarrassed. But Luo Xin had already unfolded the holy decree, Xu Luqing had no choice but to kneel, and the surrounding soldiers and officials also knelt down, and Luo Xin read the holy decree in a straight manner.

The meaning of the holy decree is very clear, first reprimanded the Xu Mansion for its insatiable greed, which caused the shaking of the financial foundation of the Ming Dynasty. This crime is big enough, and Xu Luqing's clothes are soaked.

Then he still scolded, scolded Xu Mansion for taking advantage of it, which made Xu Mansion's reputation stink, and Xu Jie's reputation stinked. caused the surrounding people to point fingers at Xu Luqing, which made Xu Luqing's heart cut like a knife.

Finally, the Xu Mansion was punished by ordering the Xu Mansion to complete this transaction with the vassal state, but after this transaction, the Xu Mansion was not allowed to conduct any more maritime trade for generations.

Secondly, under the supervision of Jinyiwei, the Xu Mansion should return the property that was stolen by the Xu Mansion, and according to the statistics of the Jinyiwei, it should compensate those merchants who were stolen by the Xu Mansion.

In the end, if the Xu Mansion does not cooperate, the Xu Mansion will be raided.

What else can Xu Luqing say?

From the tone of the holy decree, he could hear that Emperor Jiajing was really angry. Moreover, the letter from Xu Jie's side also arrived a day earlier, telling Xu Luqing that even if he sold his property, he had to honestly cooperate with Luo Xin to pass this pass. Even if Luo Xin is blackmailing, he can only endure it. Everything will wait for this level to pass.

Xu Luqing got up from the ground and arched his hand towards Luo Xin: "Please also invite Lord Luo into the house for a cup of tea." ”

Luo Xin said lightly: "Digging the financial foundation of the gate on the top, stealing the people's property on the bottom, and entering such a despicable and dirty mansion will dirty my feet." ”

After the words fell, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned to leave, got into the carriage, and said to Liu Shouyou:

"Lord Liu, you take Jinyiwei to stay, the sea trade is imminent, within ten days, you must let the Xu Mansion complete the three things. First, return the looted property. Second, compensate the businessman for his losses. Third, organize the source of goods. Within ten days, if it can't be done, Jin Yiwei will immediately take over the Xu Mansion and sell the Xu Mansion's family property, and Jin Yiwei will use the sold family property to complete these three things. ”

"Leave it to me!" Liu Shou said gloomily.

Xu Luqing was still gritting his teeth angrily just now, because Luo Xin's words just now that Xu Fu had dirty his feet were really hurtful. From now on, Xu Mansion will become a joke in Shilin, and its reputation will really stink. What could be more important in today's world than the reputation of a literati?

However, when he heard Luo Xin's arrangement for Liu Shouyou, the whole person felt like falling into an ice cave. Cool from the inside out.

"Lord Luo, where are we going?"

Looking at Luo Xin's resolute and resolute actions, Hu Zongxian felt a trace of fear in his heart. When I worked with Luo Xin in the southeast before, I thought Luo Xin was very powerful, but it was not to the point where Hu Zongxian was afraid. However, he found that Luo Xin returned to the capital for a period of time, and then returned to the southeast, which made him afraid.

"Ichibu."

"Lord Luo." Zhang Juju stepped forward and said, "Let's go to the prefect's yamen." ”

"No need! I came this time to solve the problem of the city, and I live in the city. ”

Except for Liu Shouyou who stayed with Jinyiwei, everyone followed Luo Xin back to Hangzhou overnight. Luo Xin asked everyone to go back and lived in the city by himself.

At this time, it was already past midnight, Luo Xin took a bath, and while Luo Xin was taking a bath, Xu Shixing had already arranged for his subordinates to prepare dinner. After Luo Xin finished taking a bath, Xu Shixing also finished washing, changed into civilian clothes, Luo Xin also changed into civilian clothes, the two of them sat at the table, Xu Shixing just wanted to say something, but saw Luo Xin wave his hand and said:

"Don't say anything, eat, starve."

Xu Shixing nodded, in fact, he was also hungry, so the two of them lowered their heads and began to eat. Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them each ate three bowls of rice, and then people took down the wine and food and replaced it with tea.

"Lord Luo, I have failed to live up to my trust." Xu Shixing's face was full of shame.

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Ru Mo, you haven't done enough to prevent micro problems." The Xu Mansion must be eliminated from the beginning, and you still have a fluke mentality, which is the root cause of your failure. ”

"I understand, it's just that I didn't expect Xu Fu to be so insatiable. After all, Xu Jie is also the first assistant of the cabinet, how can this be? ”

Luo Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Ru Mo, your thoughts are a little biased. Xu Kun and Xu Ying are insatiable and want to earn more silver. But Xu Jie's degeneration has not yet reached that point. He wouldn't do such a dirty thing for money. ”

"Then ...... him"

"He's here to control the southeast. Everyone knows that whoever masters the sea trade of the city will master the southeast. How to master the market? There is only one way for you to master the Daming Sea Trade. Once Xu Jie mastered the Daming Sea Trade, he mastered the Ming finances. At that time, he would be able to lean into power, and there would be no official who could fight with him. I can't, and neither can a high arch. Even, he can threaten His Majesty with this. ”

"This ......" Xu Shixing was dumbfounded in shock.

Luo Xin said seriously: "Xu Jie's desire is power, not money. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xin smiled again and said: "Of course, if you really master the Daming Sea Trade, Xu Jie will naturally receive both power and money." ”

He ...... How ambitious is it? ”

"Accident?" Luo Xin said lightly: "Don't you have the idea of ruling the world with the royal family?" ”

"I ......"

"Don't deny it, it's an ideal that every reader never forgets. Every scholar hopes that he was born in the Song Dynasty, and that era is the world of scholars. Therefore, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are striving for this ideal. From this point of view, Xu Jie is not all for personal gain, but also has the idea of seeking to realize his ideals for the world's scholars. It's just that his methods have gone down the wrong path and are not upright enough. ”
