Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 366: All Extra Nonsense

Although Luo Shixin is a top-notch general, he is not a stupid person. He is rough but smart. He is very concerned about the things Xia Lin entrusted to him. Didn't the people of the Dugu family gather a few days ago? Now, all the spies of the Dugu family scattered in Fuliang have been caught in one fell swoop.

The reason is simple, this group of people are trying to spy on military intelligence.

Originally, Lord Xia's order was just to keep an eye on them, but when some of them started to inquire about the movement of money and grain, before they could form a work report, they were all arrested by Luo Shixin and his men.

With sackcloth on their heads, all the counselors and assassins of the Dugu family, who had walked with great vigor before, were brought before Xia Lin.

At this moment, Xia Lin was reviewing official documents. When he saw Luo Shixin pulling a rope, and a group of people following behind the rope, he just raised his head slightly to take a look, and even asked without any emotion: "Why were they all arrested?"

"Sir, they are trying to spy on the money and silver movements in Fuliang. These movements are important military and political matters. I cannot let them do whatever they want, so I arrested them."

"Very good." Xia Lin put the pen aside and said, "Go and invite the head of the Dugu family."

Dugu Han is still recuperating in the medical school. She originally thought that she finally had time to perfect her novel titled "Records of the Mountains", but today she just had some inspiration and planned to write Xia Lin as the villain in the novel. Before she started, Luo Shixin came to her with his men.

"What do you want?"

"Master Dugu, my master wants to see you."

After saying that, Luo Shixin waved his hand, and the elite special agents under his command surrounded Dugu Han. Dugu Han was naturally not a soft persimmon. She frowned and looked up: "You are so brave, do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. I'm just following orders. My master asked me to invite you. You have to go whether you want to or not. If you go, we'll treat you as an invitation. If you don't go, we'll take it away." Luo Shixin raised his arm and said, "In Fuliang, you have to behave yourself even if you are the king of heaven."

Dugu Han sneered: "Your master has great authority."

"What nonsense! Take him away!"

What does it mean when a scholar meets a soldier? This is what it means when a scholar meets a soldier. They don’t care whether you are from the Dugu family or the Gudu family, they just come and arrest you.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang walked in humming a little tune while holding a piece of fruit in her mouth. When she saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment: "Oh? What is this?"

Luo Shixin didn't fall for other people's tricks, but he was quite impressed by Princess Pingyang. After all, he was a brave general on the battlefield and he had some admiration in his heart. Besides, he was in charge of the secret service department, so how could he not know the rumors between the princess and the adults? So at this moment Luo Shixin also became very polite.

"Your Highness, we are here on the orders of Lord Xia to invite the Patriarch of the Dugu Family to come over for a talk, but he is unwilling. Since he is unwilling, I will use my own method."

"Go away." Princess Pingyang waved her hand at them and said, "How can you do things like this? You are so reckless."

Pingyang pushed these people aside and came to Dugu Han: "Come on, sister will go with you. If anyone wants to bully you, I won't allow it."

Dugu Han was not afraid of these people, but she was alone here. If the loyal warriors in her family were around her, she would not be afraid even if twice as many people came.

But now that Pingyang has said so, it would be okay for her to condescend to see what Xia Lin is up to.

So, accompanied by Princess Pingyang, Dugu Han came to the yamen.

As soon as she entered, Dugu Han's scalp suddenly felt tight, because she saw her own assassins kneeling in a row in front of the hall, each with a sack covering their head, and they didn't look brave or warlike at all.

She looked at those people, then at Xia Lin who was writing something at his desk. Before she could say anything, Xia Lin said, "Are you here? Sit down."

Seeing this, Princess Pingyang thought she might be in for a treat, so she quickly found a spot with a good view and sat down, and even made herself a cup of tea.

Dugu Han sat in his seat, looking at the dead man kneeling on the ground with drooped eyelids, his heart full of doubts.

However, Xia Lin had already spoken at this moment: "Are you particularly curious about why all the death warriors that your Dugu family has spent so much effort to recruit are suddenly kneeling in a row in front of me?"

Dugu Han said nothing, while Xia Lin chuckled and glanced at Luo Shixin: "Luo, introduce yourself."

What's there to introduce? Luo Shixin has this thing covered with black cloth on his back. He only needs to take off the black cloth and then slam it to the ground. The vibration of the 62-jin fine steel gun can even make the dust on the roof fall down.

"Oh……"

Before Dugu Han opened his mouth to speak, Princess Pingyang beside him clapped her hands and said, "You have a good weapon and good skills. You are a fierce general. Come to my army. I will double the price Xia Lin offers."

Xia Lin turned his head and asked: "Can't the outsiders leave?"

Princess Pingyang seemed not to have heard anything. She just took out the fruit she usually ate from her purse and started eating it with a crunch, as if the bystanders didn't say anything to her.

Dugu Han raised his eyelids and glanced at Xia Lin: "Then what do you want to do?"

"What?" Xia Lin tapped the table with his fingers. "Princess Pingyang, I want to ask you something. What crime would someone be punished for if they spy on the military intelligence of your women's army?"

"Kill them, what else can we do? They are spying on the military. Kill them first and investigate later. There will be no false or wrongful convictions." Princess Pingyang said, her face straightened: "Why? Dugu family spying on the military?" "I don't know." Xia Lin pursed her lips, then looked at Dugu Han: "I just want to hear what the head of the Dugu family has to say. These people have already spoken, and they all say that you ordered it."

"Absolutely impossible!" Dugu Han raised his head and looked at Xia Lin angrily.

"Impossible?" Xia Lin whistled. "I wonder if what Patriarch Dugu meant by "impossible" is that these assassins will never betray Patriarch Dugu, or that Patriarch Dugu will never spy on military intelligence?"

After he finished speaking, he did not give Dugu Han a chance to speak. He just knocked on the table lightly and said in a gentle tone: "As General Fubo, I am in charge of the military and political affairs of an area. Now I find that someone is spying on the money and food of my army. I have no experience and don't know how to deal with it. It happens that Your Highness is here. Please give me some advice."

"Your Highness? Your Highness, please stop pretending to be asleep."

Princess Pingyang had already fallen asleep in her chair. After hearing what Xia Lin said, she rubbed her eyes and said, "I'm going to the guest room at the back to rest for a while. I've been taking medicine these days and I'm always sleepy. Let's go for a walk."

"I took off my outer clothes when I went to bed."

"I know, I know, you're annoying as hell."

After she left, Xia Lin also waved to Luo Shixin and said, "Take these scumbags away. I want to talk to Patriarch Dugu alone."

Soon, Xia Lin and Dugu Han were the only ones left in the room. Dugu Han lowered her eyes. She was not actually worried that Xia Lin would kill her. The cost of killing her was too high. It would trigger a full-scale counterattack from the Aristocratic Group, which Xia Lin could not withstand.

But she also knew in her heart that she would have to pay something out today.

"Master Dugu." Xia Lin came to Dugu Han with his hands behind his back and said, "This matter can be big or small. If it is brought to the table and said that your Dugu family intends to rebel, it's okay, right? But if it is not brought to the table, it means that you, Dugu Han, have admired me for a long time and want to know more about me. It is a private emotional issue. Don't you think so?"

Dugu Han was amused by his joke: "Admire you?"

"That's treason."

Well, now Dugu Han had nothing to say. After all, the other party now had the right to be unreasonable.

"There are two options before you now. One is that you plead guilty and we handle the matter impartially. That is, we handle it by law. I know that the Dugu family is very powerful, but at least the Wei Dynasty is still under a different name." Xia Lin stepped forward and lifted Dugu Han's chin with a finger: "Another option is that you analyze yourself in depth and think about other solutions. The so-called fate has actually been marked with a price in the dark. It depends on whether your price is right. If the price is right, the fate will naturally change. Otherwise, your Dugu family may also suffer serious consequences this time."

"Xia Daosheng." Dugu Han turned his head and rubbed the place he touched with his hand in disgust: "Don't get close to me, you are disgusting."

Xia Lin didn't care what she said, he just sat next to her and said, "Your investment in Fuliang is almost 20 million taels, neither you nor I should feel bad about money. Are you checking me to see the money movement in Fuliang? Are you afraid that I'm hiding my private money from you?"

Dugu Han felt somewhat embarrassed. How could she not hear that Xia Lin was taking advantage of the situation?

"I don't really care about this matter, but since you asked me to catch him, let's follow the rules of the business world."

"Three million." Dugu Han raised his head and looked at Xia Lin: "Three million taels, I want to own 30% of the shares of Ningbofu Wharf."

"At most 10%."

"Twenty percent."

"15%. If you insist on 20%, that's fine too. I want to get 30% of the Dugu family's granary and silk."

Dugu Han looked up at Xia Lin and sneered: "Then you might as well kill me now."

Xia Lin nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Dugu Han by the collar: "Before I kill you, I have to have some fun first."

"You don't let go of men either?"

"I've already told you that with your looks, your gender shouldn't be a big deal."

Dugu Han struggled to break free, but her chicken-like strength was no match for Xia Lin's. After struggling for a while, her clothes were about to be pulled off: "Twenty percent, the granary and cloth can only be twenty percent."

"Then I'll add another 20% to the shipping fee."

"Then you need to give me the sea ship technology."

"You still don't give up." Xia Lin picked up Dugu Han and said, "Just have some fun."

"Twenty percent!" Dugu Han shouted, "Twenty percent is fine!"

"Wouldn't it have been done earlier?" Xia Lin put her down and patted her shoulder: "You don't have to give me three million taels, just consider it as my direct investment. Draft the contract tomorrow."
