Emperor Jiajing put down Jinyiwei's secret report and frowned slightly. He attaches great importance to the City Division, because it is his money bag, so he has been letting Lu Bing monitor Luo Xin. Of course, he didn't know that the secret reports sent to him by Lu Bing had been screened. It will be beneficial to Luo Xin to be sent to his case.
However, this secret report still made Emperor Jiajing a little unhappy, glanced at Lu Bing, and said lightly:
"What's going on with this Luo Xin? I told him not to worry about Hangzhou's affairs, just concentrate on managing the city's shipping department. What is he doing here? pinched up with Xu Jie again. ”
"Your Majesty!" Lu Bing glanced at Emperor Jiajing and said cautiously: "I think Luo Xin is afraid that this matter will make a big fuss, so that those farmers who have lost their land and property will become homeless, and then become homeless. So ......"
Emperor Jiajing's eyebrows stretched, and he nodded lightly: "Pay close attention to this matter and see what Xu Jie will do, if he destroys the City Division, he will not have to do it." ”
City Division.
Luo Xin and Wang Cuiqiao tossed for another morning, and Luo Xin got dressed, washed, and had breakfast together under Wang Cuiqiao's service. After eating, Luo Xin walked towards the second hall, walked to the door, paused and walked back, took out a few silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table and said:
"Cuiqiao...... Piano rhyme...... In the future, you will be in charge, and you will buy yourself a maid in a while. ”
"Thank you, Master." Wang Cuiqiao's face showed a look of joy.
Luo Xin came to Ertang to deal with business with He Nian, and seven days later, the merchants of the feudal kingdom left with a full load, and Liang Yu also took his leave happily. The first business of the city company was finally successfully completed. This is this business, and the city company earned 750,000 yuan, which made Luo Xin's heart breathe a long sigh of relief. As long as he does one more business this year, he will exceed the task of Emperor Jiajing giving himself one million taels of silver.
At the same time, Luo Xin's dart game and carriage and horse shop also made a lot of money, so that Luo Xin's wealth accumulated rapidly.
Luo Xin is also in a hurry, with this bottom, Luo Xin can afford to wait. He waited for Wang Zhi and Xu Hai to fight for victory. So his people are idle, holding a literary meeting or something from time to time, and living a comfortable life.
But just after a day of this comfortable life, I saw Song Danian hurriedly come to the city, and his face showed an anxious look and said:
"No, it's bad."
"What's wrong?" Luo Xin looked up and asked.
"Someone from the Xu Mansion told me today that they are not satisfied and want to file a lawsuit." After the words fell, Song Danian sat on the chair and said angrily.
Luo Xin didn't say anything, but silently counted the time, and then said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, Brother Song, you don't have to deal with them." ”
"Ignore them? Aren't they even more arrogant? Song Danian looked at Luo Xindao with wide eyes.
"Hmm!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Then you tell them that the trial of this case will start in ten days." ”
"Ten days later?"
"Hmm!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "In less than ten days, Xu Jie's second letter will arrive, and at that time Xu Fu will be honest." ”
Song Danian has only settled the account, the second letter he wrote to Xu Jie, Xu Jie's reply should not have arrived yet, so he was shocked, and said with a look of ridicule on his face:
"It's that I'm too much to breathe."
Sure enough, only six days have passed, and Xu Luqing came to the Yamen of the Hangzhou prefect to personally visit Song Danian. He also tied up those ruffians and handed them over to Song Danian, and immediately returned the more than 30,000 acres of land. Yandao, these things, he and Xu Jieyuan didn't know about it in the capital, and it was naturally revealed in and out of the words, which was to give Song Danian face. Although Song Danian was extremely contemptuous in his heart, he still had no words to thank him on the surface. Xu Luqing took the opportunity to ask Song Danian to keep an eye on Luo Xin and stumble Luo Xin's city envoy, and Song Danian naturally agreed, which made Xu Luqing leave satisfied.
After Xu Luqing left, in the evening, Song Danian was already sitting in Luo Xin's study and told Luo Xin in detail about the matter. Luo Xin laughed.
The next day.
Hu Zongxian sent someone to invite Luo Xin, and Luo Xin wondered if Wang Zhi had news? He immediately rushed to the Suzhou Governor's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Mao Haifeng sitting there, and he said in his heart.
It turned out that Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were really violent, and they tossed Wang Zhi strong enough. Actually, there's a reason for that. Strictly speaking, Wang Zhi is no longer a pirate now, and after occupying the 36 islands, it is equivalent to a maritime country, and it is a fundamental maritime overlord.
But Xu Hai is different from Xin Goro, especially now that he has been taken to the lair, he has become a veritable pirate. The actual situation is that Wang Zhi has a foundation and needs to be protected, while Xu Hai and Xin Wulang have no fixed residence. In this way, Wang Zhi was in a passive state, he wanted to fight Xu Hai and Xin Goro, but he had no fixed place at home, and he didn't know where to fight, but Xu Hai and Xin Goro could attack him at any time.
It's like if he beat Da Ming, and Da Ming can't beat him Wang Zhi. This made Wang Zhi very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Xu Hai and Xin Wulang's team is getting bigger and bigger, because the other pirates are not untouchable when they see Wang Zhi, and they are not as strong as they thought in their hearts, so they all want to come up and bite Wang Zhi, which makes Wang Zhi really lose a lot.
That's it, the biggest headache for Wang Zhi is that I don't know where a pirate came out, the grandmaster took advantage of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai to carry out a sneak attack on other islands with empty troops, and once that pirate came to that island, there would be nothing left on that island, not only did everything be emptied, but even people were robbed, leaving him with only an empty island. And the king still didn't know who the pirates were. Out of nowhere.
This can't help but make him suspect Hu Zongxian, although he looks down on the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, but now that he thinks about it, who else can have this guts at sea besides him Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and Xin Wulang? Have this strength?
There is only Hu Zongxian, and there is only Daming Shuishi.
But suspicion is suspicion, there is no certainty, it is not good to turn his face with Hu Zongxian, after all, he still wants to be recruited. So he sent Mao Haifeng to see if all this was done by Hu Zongxian. He was really holding his breath, because the mysterious pirates had already robbed him of two islands, and they had robbed everything, and they hated it even more than Xu Hai and Xin Golang, and he couldn't figure out the details of this pirate, and he was restless.
So when Mao Haifeng came, he naturally wouldn't come and ask Hu Zongxian directly if he sent a sailor to rob his island. Before he came, he had discussed a plan with Wang Zhi, and after coming to Daming, he took two steps. On the one hand, staring at Hu Zongxian and staring at the water master, as long as the mysterious pirate reappears next time, and Hu Zongxian and the Daming water master do not move, it is not Hu Zongxian's doing. So they took the second step and went to stare at the city.
The merchants of the feudal kingdom came to Daming to make a deal with the city, and Wang Zhi already knew about it. He believes that if the mysterious pirates are not Hu Zongxian, then they will definitely go to Daming to write off their accounts, transport the things looted from Wang Zhi to Daming, and sell them to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and the merchants of the vassal country. As long as the mysterious pirate comes to the city to settle the account, they will be able to find the mysterious pirate and kill them all. Wang Zhi's hatred for that mysterious pirate definitely surpassed that of Xu Hai and Xin Goro. Therefore, after Mao Haifeng came to Hu Zongxian, he asked to meet Luo Xin.
"Brother Mao."
When Luo Xin saw Mao Haifeng, he was still very happy in his heart, thinking that Wang Zhi had beaten Xu Hai and Xin Wulang almost to the point and came to discuss the matter of Zhao'an.
"Lord Luo."
Mao Haifeng didn't dare to be like before for Luo Xin at this time, the news of the pirates was also very well-informed, they often knew the truth of the matter better than Emperor Jiajing, and they now knew that the person who destroyed Xu Hai and Xin Wulang, Ye Ma and more than 50,000 people, was not Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast who had a heavy army in his hands, but even the polite Luo Xin in front of him.
"The lower official meets the lord of the ministry."
"No, sit!" Hu Zongxian said enthusiastically, he is very happy today, no matter what, Mao Haifeng is here. This shows that the day is nearer for the resumption of negotiations.
After Luo Xin sat down, he looked at Hu Zongxian and said, "Lord Ministry, what are your orders to summon the lower officials?" ”
"Nothing." Hu Zongxian smiled: "Isn't this Haifeng coming?" He said that he had a very speculative conversation with you last time, so he wanted to meet you. ”
"That's okay!" Luo Xin smiled: "We don't get drunk and don't go home." ”
"Yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home." Hu Zongxian laughed and said, "Let's go, the wine and food have been prepared." ”
Luo Xin and Mao Haifeng both stood up, followed Hu Zongxian to the restaurant, the three of them sat down, and after three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became warm.
"Lord Luo." Mao Haifeng toasted Luo Xin with a glass of wine and said: "In a few days, Haifeng wants to go to Hangzhou for a while, and I ask the adults to give it a convenience." ”
"Okay!" Luo Xin said briskly: "If you want to live in the city, you can live with me." If you don't find it convenient, I'll book the best inn for you. ”
"Thank you, then, sir." Mao Haifeng arched his hand.
"It's nothing." Luo Xin smiled and waved his hand: "In the future, we will also be officials in the same dynasty, and it is appropriate to entertain Brother Mao." By the way, Brother Mao came this time, but did the old shipowner come to discuss with the minister? ”
"This ......" Mao Haifeng said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "My father-in-law is busy fighting Xu Hai and Xin Wulang now...... However, my father-in-law said that as long as Xu Hai and Xin Goro were eliminated, he would immediately come to meet the minister. ”
Luo Xin said: "Then Brother Mao is here this time?" ”
"I have come this time to express my father-in-law's attitude. At the same time, I would like to ask the Ministry of Justice to give me a little more time. ”
Hu Zongxian muttered: "Do you need our help?" ”
"No!" Mao Haifeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the Ministry of Labor, just sit and wait for the good news." ”
Where did Mao Haifeng dare to let Hu Zongxian send the Daming Sailor to go? Today's Thirty-six Islands ......
No!
Now it can only be regarded as thirty-two islands, two more islands were robbed by Luo Ye, and two islands were scrapped by Xu Hai and them, really counting, Wang Zhi now only has thirty-two islands left.
At this time, isn't it asking for trouble to involve the Daming Water Master?
Today's Daming Sailor may not know Wang Zhi's current situation, if the Daming Sailor is involved, and sees Wang Zhi's current appearance, maybe he will take the opportunity to destroy Wang Zhi, before Mao Haifeng came to Daming, Wang Zhiqian told him not to let the Daming Sailor participate, so at this time, Mao Haifeng waved his hand again and again:
"No, it won't be long before my stepfather will destroy Xu Hai and Xin Goro."
"Really?" Hu Zongxian's eyes shrank slightly, and he felt a slight difference between Mao Haifeng's expressions and actions.
"Really." Mao Haifeng's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "My father-in-law is planning a big operation, and after this big operation, there will be no more Xu Hai and Xin Wulang. ”
Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin glanced at each other, neither spoke, and then chatted casually with Mao Haifeng. After he was full of wine and food, Hu Zongxian sent someone to settle Mao Haifeng, and Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian came to the study and sat down.
"No, what do you think?"
In fact, Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin really didn't know about Wang Zhi's situation, and Liang Yu only told Luo Xin that Luo Ye took the sea boat to fish in troubled waters, and Luo Xin really didn't know if he could touch the fish. But today, Mao Haifeng's indifferent demeanor made Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin feel clues. Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said:
"I don't think Wang Zhi's life is going to be easy."
"Well, I think so too." Hu Zongxian nodded and said, "He seems to be afraid that we will get involved." ”
Luo Xin also nodded and said: "Yes, it can be inferred from this that even if Wang Zhi is not defeated now, he should be anxious." ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and Hu Zongxian asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I'm thinking, the relationship between Wang Zhi and Xu Hai today is probably the same as they are with us. Wang Zhi can come to fight us at any time, but we can't beat Wang Zhi, and now at sea it should be Xu Hai who has no long-term foothold, he can fight Wang Zhi, but Wang Zhi doesn't know where to hit him, completely passive, hehe......"
"Hehe......" Hu Zongxian couldn't help but laugh when he heard that it was really like this for a while.
"That'...... What do you say is the real purpose of Mao Haifeng's coming? ”
Luo Xin also frowned and thought about it, in fact, he already had a speculation in his heart at this time, because he knew that Luo Ye went to fish in troubled waters, and he should have touched the fish, so Wang Zhi didn't know where such a pirate suddenly appeared, so he suspected that the Daming Sailor was asked to let Mao Haifeng come to investigate the situation.
