There was a sound of footsteps, but it was He Nian and Wang Ziren who came in. The two stood in front of Luo Xin, one on the left and the other on the right. They also attended the banquet just now, saw and heard Luo Xin's strength, and thought of Luo Xin before I kept telling them, don't worry, only then did I realize that I had misunderstood Luo Xin, that Luo Xin hadn't compromised, and was planning something. Although they didn't know Luo Xin's plan, they knew that Luo Xin must be Planning a big event.

Luo Xin didn't raise his head to look at the two of them, his eyes were still a little dull and he looked down at the opposite tree, and after a while, he asked in a low voice:
"You say, if I turn the southeast into a sea of ​​blood, will the people in the southeast resent me, or will they be grateful to me? Will your majesty praise me, or will they kill me?"

He Nian and Wang Ziren looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that your lord really wants to raise the butcher's knife to the wealthy family?This is a serious matter, and the two of them dared not answer casually, but lowered their heads and began to think carefully.After a while, Wang Ziren said in a shy voice:
"I'm afraid the people in the southeast will resent you."

"Why?" Luo Xin asked with his eyes still fixed on the opposite tree.

"Because almost all the people in the southeast are working for those aristocratic families, but there are tens of thousands of machinists in the city of Hangzhou. If your lord kills all the aristocratic families, these tens of thousands of machinists will naturally have no work. They will resent you, and maybe they will gather people to make trouble, and these mechanics have always been the trouble in the southeast. Once they make trouble, it will be no small matter. At that time, even if His Majesty will not kill you, I am afraid that you will not let him come again. The southeast is done."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Sit down too."

He Nian and Wang Ziren sat on the stone benches, and there was silence among the three of them, their eyes fixed on the center of the stone table in the middle, as if there was some treasure there.

The back garden was quiet, the servants did not dare to come in, they stood far outside the gate, waiting for the summons.He Nian finally broke the silence and said:
"My lord, those aristocratic families may not have the determination to kill them. Maybe as long as my lord hurts them, they will lower their stance and cooperate with you. But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, your lord is willing to let the past go."

"For the sake of the southeast, and for the sake of Daming, I will naturally let the past go. It's just that the result may not be satisfactory."

Wang Ziren and He Nian nodded and then sighed.Then He Nian said: "My lord is really courageous, beyond my reach."

Luo Xin couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Stop flattering me, I'm afraid you'll call me stupid and bold again in your heart?"

He Nian and Wang Ziren couldn't help laughing in unison. After laughing, He Nian said seriously: "My lord, if you want this matter to be done successfully, you must do everything properly. It will not only make the rich and aristocratic families fearful, but also won't force them to Desperate, give them a glimmer of hope."

"Easy to say, hard to do!" Luo Xin sighed: "These wealthy families are greedy, but they want to be prostitutes and set up archways. I want to stop them from becoming prostitutes." The road of * is going to smash their archway again. It's hard to control the fire.

Once the fire is not handled properly, the situation will be like a river breaking through, and it will be out of control according to the law. Not only will it usher in a crazy counterattack from the wealthy family, but it will also provoke a civil uprising. My career will come to an end here, and maybe I will lose head. "

"Then why..."

"There must be someone to do this, otherwise the southeast will be completely corrupted, and the life of the people will become more and more miserable. When the people are driven to a dead end, they will rise up, and that will be a disaster for Ming Dynasty."

The eyes of He Nian and Wang Ziren turned red, and the two said in unison in a low voice: "The humble job will be done with the adults."

Luo Xin left to look at the New Year, then at Wang Ziren, and seeing the flushed faces of the two people with righteous expressions, he shook his head and said:

"You should not participate in this matter, you will be smashed to pieces at any time!"

"We are not afraid!"

"It's not a question of whether you are afraid or not!" Luo Xin put away his smile and said seriously: "Before I came to Southeast, you were all excluded. This is because you have no background on the one hand, but on the other hand Said, it is also the result of your refusal to join forces."

Luo Xin's words entered the hearts of the two of them, their eyes were a little moist, and they said excitedly:

"grown ups……"

"You are the righteousness of the southeast. You can't be implicated because of me alone, and then let the only remaining righteousness in the southeast be wiped out. If this is the case, it will be my biggest crime, Luo Xin."

"My lord, we have already discussed with all the officials outside, and we swear to follow you to the death. If an irreversible situation really arises, we will bear everything. Your lord is much more important than us, you alone His wisdom and ability are as good as a hundred of us, so you must not have any accidents, my lord."

A look of emotion appeared on Luo Xin's face.

"My way is not alone!"

Luo Xin sighed in his heart, but then he said with bitterness on his face: "You don't understand, it's not just this corner of the southeast that is staring at me now, above the court hall of the capital, from your majesty to the officials, are all in Stare at me. Therefore, once something happens, I can't hide. You can't resist for me, and you can't bear it. So, let me resist everything, and save you righteous people for later."

"My lord, we must live and die together."

Luo Xin shook his head lightly and said, "Let's see how the situation develops in the future."

Day two.

Luo Xin changed into casual clothes, went out from the back door of the yamen, and brought Wan Daquan and Lu Daqing for a private visit.The whole of Hangzhou is still the same as yesterday, without the slightest change, and there is no discussion about what Luo Xin said at the banquet yesterday in the teahouse and wine shop.I don't know if these patriarchs realized the importance of the matter, or they simply didn't take Luo Xin seriously.

After shopping all morning, I had lunch in a restaurant at noon, returned to the yamen, came to the second hall, saw He Nian sitting there, and saw Luo Xin walking in from the door, he stood up angrily and said:

"These grandchildren are too disrespectful. No one came to see you all morning."

Luo Xin smiled and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea slowly, took a sip and said:

"Face is not given by others, it is earned by oneself."

He Nian sat down, looked at Luo Xin's leisurely demeanor, and sighed in his heart: "This is the righteousness."

Seeing He Nian sitting there, not bluffing anymore, Luo Xin said: "Besides, this is expected. It's normal if they don't come, but it's not normal if they come. What do you want them to say? Admitting them to smuggle? This is impossible! Now that they are here, they can’t say anything. Why are they here? And..."

Luo Xin's faint smile contained a trace of murderous intent: "I'm afraid they haven't put me in their eyes yet!"

"The lord..."

"Master Hou!"

Before He Nian finished speaking, he heard Lu Daqing's voice. Luo Xin turned his head and saw Lu Daqing walking towards him in a hurry. Behind him were two people, Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, walking towards him with smiles on their faces. .

Luo Xinteng stood up with a bang, walked towards the two happily and said, "Brother Qi, Big Brother, why did you two come so fast?"

Qi Jiguang walked over with strides, grabbed Luo Xin's hand and said: "After the award was awarded, Brother Luo Xian and I came here overnight."

Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang looked around, and Luo Xin knew what he meant. At this time, there were only five people in the courtyard, Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing, Luo Xin, He Nian and Lu Daqing.So Luo Xin said:

"Brother Qi, He Nian is someone I trust."

The expression of excitement appeared on the face of He Nian at the side. This was the first time Luo Xin told others that he was a newcomer, and he could tell that Qi Jiguang had something top-secret to tell Luo Xin, and Luo Xin But did not avoid him, which shows that Luo Xin has fully accepted him.At this time, Qi Jiguang heard Luo Xin's words, nodded towards the New Year, and then said in a low voice:

"No, in fact, all the generals in the southeast know that you were the one who killed tens of thousands of Japanese pirates this time, and you just gave the credit to Lord Butang. Lord Butang mobilized his troops to go to Lang'er Island, but he might as well be killed by the Japanese pirates." After playing around for a while, I wasted no time. If you hadn’t expected that you would have killed tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, I’m afraid that the two prefectures of Suzhou and Hangzhou would be attacked by Japanese pirates under the emptiness. By that time, people would be devastated. No Qi, you are worthy of being the God of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Luo Xiandi and I both feel that following you will lead to great battles, and following you will make you meritorious, so the two of us can't wait to come down."

Hearing this, Luo Xin waved his hands again and again and said, "Brother Qi is just joking, you are a general of the third rank, how can you follow me as a junior official of the fifth rank?"

"Buqi, if you say that, then I dare not call you Buqi, but I will call you Marquis. Your Marquis has a higher rank than me."

"Let's not talk about this, let's go to the study to talk."

Luo Xin, Luo Qing, Qi Jiguang and He Nian walked into the study. Lu Daqing brewed a pot of tea and put it on the table, then retreated, closed the door, and stood outside.

Inside the study.

Luo Xin, Luo Qing, and Qi Jiguang told each other what happened during this period of separation. From Luo Qing's words, it was known that Luo Qing had three thousand soldiers under his command at this time. Has six thousand soldiers.These [-] soldiers were not the master soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, those whores, but the strong soldiers trained by Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing.With these [-] soldiers in hand, Luo Xin's confidence exploded.

"Little brother!" Luo Qing said with anger in his eyes: "I heard that your pier has been closed for ten days, and the magistrate actually cut off your supplies. Little brother, as long as you give an order, big brother will go That dog magistrate was killed."

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Kill the magistrate? Are you planning to rebel?"

Luo Qing also rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: "You arrange this and that all day long, aren't you preparing to rebel?"

"No!" Qi Jiguang on the side also asked worriedly: "I heard that you treated guests last night, and you pointed out to those wealthy families smuggling in person, and ordered them not to smuggle in the future, otherwise they will be killed without mercy. Is this true? ?”

"En!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"It doesn't matter that you are reckless!" Qi Jiguang sighed and said, "Those wealthy families are smuggling, but they are also scholarly families, and they want face. You are so direct to expose, and you are ordered. You have offended the whole southeast. A wealthy family."

Luo Xin curled his lips and said: "Since you want to be a prostitute, you don't need to set up a memorial archway."

"That's right. They just want to be prostitutes and set up memorial archways. But they are powerful in the southeast, and all kinds of relationships are entangled. Once they join hands, it won't be very easy to drive you out of the southeast." Difficult things, even ruining your reputation, or even dying are not difficult things. You say you are not reckless?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "Then I will kill it first."

"Kill first?" Qi Jiguang was shocked: "You want to act like a wealthy family in the southeast?"

"They committed the crime of beheading, and I gave them a chance. They don't know how to cherish it. I can't kill them too much."

The New Year on the side was excited again. He has been in the southeast all these years, and he has not been less angry with those wealthy families, and seeing those wealthy families control the southeast, even the officials in the southeast will look at their faces.Let alone Song Danian, the magistrate, even Hu Zongxian wants to give those aristocratic families three points of affection.Seeing that Luo Xin was about to attack the wealthy family, his body was trembling with excitement, and he couldn't help but said:

"My lord, are we going to start a massacre in two days?"

"Two days later? Start killing?"

Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, their expressions changed dramatically:

"No, you want to catch those smugglers in two days?"

"What? No way?" Luo Xin asked lightly.

Qi Jiguang rubbed his hands anxiously and said: "This is not good. If you are really like this, you will cause chaos in the southeast. It is to force those wealthy families to unite. You alone cannot defeat them."

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, with a murderous look in his eyes and said: "Then I will kill them until they are afraid. I just ask you, do you dare to follow me for the last time?"

Luo Qing didn't care and said with a low smile: "Little brother, I will do what you say. My three thousand soldiers are at your command."

Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly: "No, it's nothing if I followed you this time, anyway, I was transferred to you by His Majesty, and I will obey your orders. Even if something happens in the future , and you are standing against me, I will not be punished at all. At best, I offended a wealthy family in the southeast, which made me unable to gain a foothold in the southeast, so I just change places. This is too dangerous a move, and it is likely to It will break you to pieces. No, you have to think about it."

"I've thought about it!" Luo Xin said with sharp eyes: "The southeast matter must be resolved, and the Shibo Department must be put into operation. Now the treasury of Daming is empty. If it can no longer make money, Daming has a tendency to collapse. At that time The people are suffering. Over the years, these aristocratic families in the southeast have been too greedy and arrogant, and we must teach them a lesson."
