Chapter 1006 Surrounding the Xu Mansion
More than 100 riders and several carriages approached quickly and stopped in front of everyone.Liu Shouyou was riding a horse, his gaze swept across the crowd slightly.Luo Xin pushed the carriage door and got off the carriage, and the officials in front of the city gate rushed over to meet the imperial envoy.Luo Xin waved to Lu Daqing, and said softly:
"Number one!"

Lu Daqing found an imperial edict marked with number one from among the imperial edicts in the carriage, pulled it out from the case, and handed it to Luo Xin with both hands.Luo Xin held the imperial decree in both hands, and looked at the officials.Those officials had knelt down one after another, and Luo Xin read out the imperial decree.

The content of the imperial decree is actually very simple. It is to tell the officials in the whole southeast that from the beginning, the whole southeast is what Luo Xin says, and Luo Xin has the right to kill first and then act.

Although the content is simple, the power is huge!
You can cut first and play later!
If he didn't have this right, even if he was arrested by Luo Xin, he would still have time to operate in the officialdom to make himself innocent or even meritorious.

but……

Cut first and play later!
With a click, your head is gone, and you won't be given time to function at all!
Those civil servants were honest, even Zhang Juzheng was frightened.They didn't have the strength to resist at all, but the hundred brocade guards were able to keep them in good order.

And those military officers were also terrified, even Hu Zongxian was uneasy.They do have soldiers under their command.If someone else is an imperial envoy and pushes them into a hurry, they can kill the imperial envoy.

But, this is Luo Xin!

This is the God of War!
It can be said bluntly that in the southeast, Hu Zongxian's prestige in the army is not as high as that of Luo Xin, which is the prestige of Luo Xin himself.If Hu Zongxian wanted to send troops to kill Luo Xin, I'm afraid those soldiers under him would tie up Hu Zongxian instead.Even Hu Zongxian is like this, let alone other generals?

This is prestige.

Luo Xin simply went to fight here, and the entire civil and military officials in Southeast were frightened.

Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing couldn't help sighing as they looked at those civil and military officials in the southeast who had been rebellious against them.

In the southeast, I can't compare with Luo Xin at all, and I can't compare in all aspects.

but……

Is it just the southeast?

Luo Xin has greater prestige in the north, right?
If Luo Xin stops in the north, the civil and military officials in the north will be frightened, right?

When Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing were in the capital, they hadn't felt how powerful Luo Xin was, but now they saw Luo Xin's prestige in the southeast, which shocked the two of them.

Especially Zhang Juzheng, he had a feeling at this time, that is, in the capital, everyone did not feel the prestige of Luo Xin, and it was because Luo Xin kept a low profile, which made people feel that Luo Xin and Xu Jie were far behind.

But, thinking about it now, I'm afraid Xu Jie can only beat Luo Xin in the capital. Once he leaves the capital, Xu Jie will not be Luo Xin's opponent at all.

And through this incident, Emperor Jiajing sent Luo Xin as an imperial envoy. What does this mean?
This shows that in the capital, Xu Jie can't suppress Luo Xin anymore.

"Lord Luo, I have already arranged a banquet..." Hu Zongxian's rank is the highest here, so he stepped forward to talk to Luo Dao with a smile.

However, before he finished speaking, Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Master Hu, how many soldiers did you bring from Suzhou this time?"

"Two thousand!" Hu Zongxian was taken aback for a moment, but he replied immediately.

"Call me!" Luo Xin said lightly.

Hu Zongxian was startled, could it be that Luo Xin wants to deal with him, and first gave up his military power?

Then he asked anxiously: "My lord, are you going to..."

"Go to Songjiang, Xu Mansion."

Hu Zongxian's expression was determined, and he thought to himself, it seems that this is Luo Xin who is going to attack the Xu family.Immediately puffed out his chest and said:

"I will go with you."

Luo Xin nodded, ignored the other officials in the southeast, and got into the carriage. Hu Zongxian hurriedly led two thousand cavalry, followed Luo Xin and Jin Yiwei, and headed towards Songjiang.

All the officials in the southeast looked at each other in blank dismay, and Zhang Juzheng's face was full of anxiety. This is to do something to the teacher's family!

Immediately followed in a carriage, the other officials in the southeast looked at me and I looked at you, although Luo Xin didn't let them follow, but he didn't let them go back either!
Who dares to go back without authorization!

So, the civil servants rode in carriages, and the military officials rode horses, all heading towards Songjiang.

It was near dusk.

Songjiang.

Xu House.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes made the ground tremble.

The servants in front of Xu's mansion stared in the direction of the sound of horseshoes, and then their faces turned pale, their backs were chilly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out.They saw a large group of cavalrymen who were thinking about them and heading straight towards Xu Mansion.

"Surrounded!"

Hu Zongxian gave an order, and two thousand cavalrymen "hula" surrounded the entire Xu Mansion.Those servants ran towards the mansion in fright.

back yard.

Xu Luqing, Xu Kun and Xu Ying were sitting in their grandmother's room, all three of them looked very ugly.

"Grandma, do we really want to listen to father?" Xu Kun asked.

"Nonsense!" Xu Luqing said angrily, "If you two didn't know how to measure, how could the Xu family have suffered such a catastrophe?"

"Brother, you can't say that. You and your father are officials in the court, so you don't know the difficulties of running a family. We are also doing this for the family. If it weren't for my third brother and I to run the family, where would you and your father be so leisurely in the capital?" Life?"

"Leisure? You say we are leisurely?"

"Okay!" Grandma slapped the table and said, "Our Xu family is in trouble, but it's not like that Luo Xin can do whatever he wants. I don't believe he really dared to copy our Xu family. "

"Oh no!"

And at this moment, the butler of Xu's family rushed in scramblingly: "Old Ancestor, Eldest Young Master, it's not good."

"Bastard!" Xu Luqing jumped up, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is wrong?"

"Eldest son..." The butler said tremblingly, "Officers and soldiers... Officers and soldiers..."

Xu Luqing's complexion changed: "What happened to the officers and soldiers?"

"Officers and soldiers...surrounded our mansion...all... cavalry."

Mrs. Xu, who was still aggressive just now, fainted with a "squeak" sound. Xu Kun and Xu Ying were so frightened that they slipped out of their chairs and fell to the ground. Only Xu Luqing, who had seen the world in the capital, was able to stand there. Paled face.I secretly said in my heart:
"Could it be... father has had an accident in the capital?"

But at this moment, he couldn't take care of that much anymore, so he took two quick steps and came to the old lady, calling anxiously:

"Grandma, grandma..."

The old lady opened her eyes, and then began to cry.Xu Luqing said to Xu Kun and Xu Ying:

"Don't you two hurry up and take care of grandma?"
