If you want this to not happen, you must make sure that the Xu family and the Hu family can't go to the step where they need to discover your weaknesses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
They all understood Luo Xin's words, and they were sweating through their clothes in an instant. After thinking about Luo Xin's words carefully, it is really very likely that such a thing will happen.
To put it bluntly, today's Daming Haimao is not strong enough, just a newborn, and it can achieve today's results, that is Luo Xin is here to stand, if there is no Luo Xin to top, Daming Haimao, a big fat meat, I am afraid it would have been carved up long ago.
But......
The two giants Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian are really inferior!
The head of the five great families looked hesitant, and after half a sound, Lu Ding said, "My lord, what do you let us do?" ”
Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "You are familiar with those small and medium-sized merchants, first tell them about this matter, and then tell them that Xu Zhen and Hu Ning will deal with them next, so that they can be prepared." ”
"That's all?" Lu Ding asked in surprise.
"That's all for now!" Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "You will trace the backgrounds of those small and medium-sized merchants back to three generations, list them, and hand them over to me tomorrow." ”
The heads of the five great families left, worried. Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian joined forces, even they were afraid, would those small and medium-sized merchants be afraid?
Even if they tell those small and medium-sized merchants about Cheng Po, will they be able to withstand Xu Jie's and Hu Zongxian's team?
The five masters are very unoptimistic. They believe that if Luo Xin has no follow-up means, Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian will definitely buy the shares in the hands of those small and medium-sized merchants, and it will not cost much silver.
If it's just the Xu family, it's just that, but with Hu Zongxian, the king of the southeast, it's terrifying. Carefully analyze Luo Xin's measures after coming to the southeast, that is, to unite with Hu Zongxian, to achieve today's achievements. Just imagine, if Luo Xin hadn't had a good relationship with Hu Zongxian when he first arrived in Hangzhou, and Hu Zongxian hadn't sent Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing to escort him, would Luo Xin have achieved what he is today?
Thinking that Luo Xin killed the officials of the prefect's yamen and killed the Lu family, it was all to wait for Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing to arrive. It can be said that if it were not for Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, if Hu Zongxian had only sent Luo Xin some old, weak, sick and disabled, Luo Xin would not have achieved this goal at all, let alone later annihilated more than 50,000 Japanese pirates, I am afraid that the Japanese would have broken through Hangzhou City a long time ago, and the city would have been destroyed.
Now that Hu Zongxian has turned his back on Luo Xin, but has joined forces with Xu Jie, it can be said that Luo Xin has been forced to the cliff, will Luo Xin still have a way this time?
If Luo Xin falls, who will escort Daming Hai Trade Company?
When the time comes, will the five of them really be able to withstand Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian?
"Alas......"
The five of them sighed almost at the same time, they came to Lu Ding's house, and then began to gather those small and medium-sized merchants, and told them the success of the matter, and then those small and medium-sized merchants left worriedly.
Day 2.
Lu Ding personally sent the background information of those small and medium-sized merchants sorted out by their five great families to Luo Xin, looking at Luo Xin, Lu Ding asked worriedly:
"Lord Luo, is there a good plan?"
Luo Xin said lightly: "Although I am not very old, I have encountered something more dangerous than this in this life, but it is I Luo Xin who wins in the end." Lu Weng, you don't have to worry, this official has his own way. ”
"It's good to have a way, it's good to have a way!"
Lu Ding seemed to have confidence all of a sudden, and finally went back with a smile on his face, and told Luo Xin that he had a way to tell the other four families, and the four families pondered for a moment, thinking back to Luo Xin's debut since his debut, Luo Xin really never lost, and couldn't help but have confidence. This confidence quickly spread, and those small and medium-sized merchants also had confidence.
Prefect's Yamen.
He Nian and Wang Ziren came in a hurry, and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes:
"My lord, do you have a solution?"
Luo Xin shook his head, he had to say that he had a way for the five great families, otherwise the entire Daming Sea Trade would collapse, facing the two giants of Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian, if there was no Luo Xin to resist, those shareholders would immediately be panicked, and they would be broken by Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian. But for his two cronies, He Nian and Wang Ziren, there is no need. Luo Xinchang sighed and said:
"I haven't figured out a way yet, the two giants Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian are too terrifying."
Seeing He Nian and Wang Ziren's stiff expressions, Luo Xin smiled: "But don't worry, I have been cornered several times, and it seems that there is no way, but in the end I still walked out of the predicament." As long as you are willing to find a way, there are always more solutions than difficulties. ”
Hearing Luo Xin say this, the two of them also had some confidence in their hearts, the key is that almost both of them participated in Luo Xin's affairs in the southeast, and personally experienced the miracle of Luo Xin's killing from a desperate situation. The two of them saw Luo Xin frowning slightly and thinking, so they didn't bother Luo Xin and left.
It wasn't until after noon that Luo Xin finished reading the information on the table. His eyes flashed with wisdom, and he whispered:
"Zhang Daoyuan, my treasure is pressed on you, you have to fight for it!"
"Daqing!"
"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing appeared at the door.
Luo Xin said: "Go and invite General Qi." ”
Half an hour later.
Qi Jiguang came to Luo Xin's study, and after Luo Xin asked Qi Jiguang to sit down, he said to Lu Daqing:
"You and Wan Daquan are guarding the door."
"Yes, Master Hou."
Lu Daqing closed the door and guarded the outside with Wan Daquan. Seeing Luo Xin so nervous, Qi Jiguang's expression also became serious. Luo Xin lowered his voice and asked:
"How's Zhang Daoyuan's matter going?"
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "I didn't find any clues, at the beginning, the lower officials searched all the homes in Hangzhou City door by door, but Zhang Daoyuan was as if he was missing." ”
"Do you think Zhang Daoyuan has left Hangzhou City now?"
Qi Jiguang stared at him and said, "Xiaguan dares to guarantee that he is definitely still in Hangzhou City." ”
"Why do you say that?" Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "Didn't you find blood on the top of the city at the beginning? Didn't you infer that he slipped out of the city walls? ”
"Impossible!" Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "At the beginning, Xia Guan divided his three thousand men into two parts, one thousand people closed the city gate, searched door by door, and two thousand people were divided into four directions to pursue outside the city, not to mention that Zhang Daoyuan was injured, even if he was not injured, they couldn't outrun our well-trained cavalry, but they only caught up with one person, and that person committed suicide when he saw us." I think the person who slipped out along the city wall was a dead soldier in the Red Turban Army, deliberately drawing our attention to the outside and making the illusion that Zhang Daoyuan had escaped from the city, and Zhang Daoyuan had been hiding in Hangzhou all along.
Therefore, although Xia Guan did not find Zhang Daoyuan in Hangzhou City, but after opening the city gate, Xia Guan arranged heavy troops at the city gate to carefully investigate, but did not catch the suspicious elements, I am sure that Zhang Daoyuan and his Red Turban Army are still in Hangzhou City. ”
Luo Xin nodded happily and said: "I also think so, Zhang Daoyuan was shot by me, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured, and it would be impossible to escape far, if he dared to escape, he would definitely die on the way to escape." ”
"My lord."
For Luo Xin to be able to think of this, Qi Jiguang was not the slightest surprise, Luo Xin was known as the god of the Ming Dynasty, which was definitely not false. And these days, he blocked the city gate and searched closely, making those who entered and left the city complain, and even someone sued Luo Xin, which made Luo Xin suppress, and never held Qi Jiguang accountable, Qi Jiguang knew that Luo Xin also thought of this.
"My lord, the lower officials think that the Red Turban Army must have a secret stronghold in Hangzhou City, and there is an underground hiding place. These days they have been hiding underground. But the lower officials could not dig three feet into the ground door to door, and the lower officials thought that maybe these days, the Red Turban Army was secretly digging tunnels and digging out of the city, and if they delayed any longer, maybe they would dig out of the city and escape. ”
Luo Xin frowned slightly and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Impossible." The groundwater level in Hangzhou is very high, and it is not easy for them to dig out a basement. Digging a passage underground to the outside of the city was definitely a big job, and it would be difficult for them to complete it under the current conditions. So they must not have dug tunnels, they still hid in the basement, waiting for a year and a half, the city defense was relaxed, and they immediately Hangzhou City. And they are not in a hurry, because Zhang Daoyuan's upper body also needs at least half a year of treatment. By the way, have you checked all the pharmacies in Hangzhou? Did you go shopping for a lot of herbs? The Red Turban Army was not the only one who was injured, but many others were injured. ”
"After checking, there are a total of six pharmacies in Hangzhou, and there are no large quantities of herbs purchased, and the lower officials have also sent scouts to focus on these six pharmacies, and no suspicious people have been found."
Luo Xin's eyes flashed and said, "Then it proves that the secret stronghold of the Red Turban Army is among these six pharmacies." ”
Qi Jiguang looked stunned, then jumped up from the chair and said, "I'll lead the troops to surround these six pharmacies and dig them three feet into the ground." ”
"Slow!" Luo Xin raised his hand to stop Qi Jiguang and said, "Don't worry, after you go back, immediately withdraw the people who are monitoring the six pharmacies." ”
"Adult ......"
Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, I'm afraid those people of yours have already been recognized by the Red Turban Army, and I will arrange someone else to investigate." ”
"My lord, you don't need to investigate, the lower officials went directly to surround them, digging three feet into the ground, I don't believe they can't be dug up."
"No!" Luo Xin's expression became serious and said, "Brother Yuan Jing, do you believe me?" ”
"Of course I do." Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously.
"Then listen to me, I'm playing a big game. After you have withdrawn the men, you will add more soldiers at the gates, and search more closely, so that they will not be able to get out at all. You don't have to worry about the rest for now. ”
Qi Jiguang's eyes showed a look of doubt, but seeing that Luo Xin didn't explain, he nodded and said:
"The subordinate obeys."
After Qi Jiguang left, Luo Xin took out two documents from the table, looked at them, and then shouted towards the door:
"Daqing."
"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing walked in from outside the door.
Luo Xin said: "You change your clothes, go out through the back door, and go to the dart bureau to let Zheng Darttou come to see me." ”
"Yes, Master Hou."
About two quarters of an hour, Lu Daqing took Zheng Dart to the door of the study, Luo Xin asked Lu Daqing to wait outside the door, and then said to Zheng Dart:
"How many Jianghu people are there in the Hangzhou City Dart Bureau?"
"Twenty-eight."
"How many of the twenty-eight can be trusted?"
Zheng Darttou pondered for a moment and said, "Six." ”
"Who of these six people is good at light skills, good at probing secrets, or good at stealing?"
"There are two." Zheng Darttou said: "Because the dart bureau is also responsible for collecting information, we have paid special attention to such people. However, there are only two here in Hangzhou, and if the adults need more, I can report to the chief dart head and transfer people here. ”
"No, it's enough for two people."
Luo Xin picked up the information of the two people from the table, put it in front of Zheng Dangtou's table and said:
"This is the information of the two pharmacies of Xinglintang and Baishantang!"
Zheng Dangtou took the information and read it quickly, then looked up at Luo Xindao:
"What does this mean, sir?"
"You also know about Zhang Daoyuan, and you are also secretly investigating, but what news is there?"
Zheng Dang's eyes lit up: "My lord, is Zhang Daoyuan hiding in these two pharmacies?" ”
"Not necessarily." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "But ninety percent of them are sure that one of the six pharmacies in Hangzhou City is hidden." Because the Red Turban Army not only received serious injuries from Zhang Daoyuan, but also many people were also injured of varying degrees of severity. It's impossible that you don't need medicinal herbs, but you've also monitored the six major pharmacies, but you haven't found anyone buying a large amount of medicinal herbs, and you haven't asked for a doctor. What does this mean?
This shows that they have doctors and more medicinal herbs.
And where is there both medicine and doctors? ”
"A medical hall or a pharmacy!" Zheng Darttou said excitedly.
"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "There are only six medical halls and pharmacies in Hangzhou City, so I conclude that Zhang Daoyuan and those people must be hiding in one of these six families." ”
"What about these two?"
Luo Xin sighed and said: "I just hope that Zhang Daoyuan's secret stronghold is in one of these two families, if after your investigation, they are not in these two families, we will check on those four again." And among these two, the focus is on secretly exploring Baishantang first. Remember to me, it doesn't matter if you can't find it once, you can go again, but don't be discovered. Even if you find Zhang Daoyuan or the Red Turban Army, don't startle the snake, come back and tell me. ”
"My lord, what is the suspicion of this Baishan Hall?"
"Three of the six pharmacies in Hangzhou are dedicated to medical clinics or pharmacies, and three pharmacies are just part of their family business, and they are also doing other businesses. However, only two bought the shares of Daming Haimao. These two are Baishantang and Xinglintang. The background of Xinglintang is that it has been a doctor for generations, its ancestors were medical officials in the previous dynasty, and they also started as doctors, and other businesses were developed later, and Hangzhou belongs to their family's rented land, and generations have multiplied here. There is little chance that they are the Red Turbans.
Baishantang is different, they came to Hangzhou 30 years ago, started in the silk industry, and opened this Baishantang about 15 years ago. So there is a good chance that he is the secret stronghold of the Red Turban Army. ”
