A prince said that he was afraid of poverty, Luo Xin could only smile wryly.After pondering for a while, he said: "I have a plan, I plan to set up an escort agency..."

After Luo Xin finished talking about the Escort, King Yu was still a little confused, because he didn't understand business at all.But he trusted Luo Xin, nodded immediately and said:

"No, I don't understand what you said to me. If you think you can do it, you can do it. Tell me what you need me to do. But..."

Having said that, he blushed and said, "I don't have any capital."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I will pay the capital, and we will share it [-]-[-]."

King Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, you pay for the capital, and you run the business. I don't do anything, but get [-]% of it. How can that be? I..."

King Yu pondered for a while and said, "I'll just take two shares."

"Brother, there is something that needs your help."

Hearing that he needs to do his own work, King Yu was overjoyed, and he felt that this was his own business and that he was still useful if he could do so.Immediately said excitedly:

"Say, what do I need to do?"

"Brother needs to give me the list of officials in your hands, and the Escort also needs them to do something for us."

"That's no problem! What else?"

"No more!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This is already a great help to our business."

"This..." King Yu said hesitantly: "This is not enough for me to take [-]% of the shares..."

"Brother, let's stop talking about members between us brothers."

Yu Wang was moved in his heart, this is the best person to him since he was sensible.His two closest relatives, a father and a younger brother, have never treated him so well, let alone those courtiers. At this time, King Yu's eyes were moist, and he said with a choked voice:

"No, I will never let you down in this life."

Luo Xin looked at King Yu and said sincerely: "If you don't use weapons, you will definitely live up to elder brother."

King Yu raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from his eyes, and then said solemnly: "No, you have to be careful when you go to the southeast this time. The situation there is complicated, there are powerful people, there are Japanese pirates, and... you are in the army It has prestige, but it is only in the Northern Army. The Southeast Army is its own branch, so you have to be careful in the Southeast Army.”

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Maybe we're going to start a killing spree."

"Killing?" King Yu hesitated and said, "Do you have the right to kill at will? If you can't control the military power, you can't deal with Japanese pirates at all. Those tyrants have connections with Japanese pirates. You go there to open the sea, no doubt. It’s to smash the jobs of those smugglers, maybe they will hire Japanese pirates to kill you. You must be careful of those conspiracies.”

"I understand, thank you, brother!"

"Come on, let's have a toast and wish you success soon."

"Dry!"

Luo Xin left King Yu's mansion with the list given to him by King Yu in his arms, and a jade pendant to prove King Yu's identity.He was very happy in his heart, and the establishment of the Escort Bureau could finally make up for his last shortcoming.He didn't tell him that he still used the Escort to collect information, and he didn't plan to tell King Yu in the future, even if King Yu became the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Looking up at the sky, it was only afternoon, and the words that King Yu had said to him sounded, so he turned around and walked towards the palace.Now it is very convenient for Luo Xin to see Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing was still waiting for Luo Xin to earn money for him, so when he heard Luo Xin asked to see him, he summoned him immediately.

Inside the imperial study.

Emperor Jiajing saw Luo Xin walking in, and after waiting for some etiquette, he said to Luo Xin:
"I entered the palace today, what's the matter?"

"For the affairs of the Shibo Department."

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, there are powerful tyrants in the southeast, rampant smuggling, collusion with Japanese pirates, and the shadows of officials behind these tyrants. After I go, I will undoubtedly compete with those tyrants for jobs. Not to mention that there will be great danger. Big resistance is bound to be met. Maybe the humble minister will start killing. So... I would like to ask His Majesty to grant a decree."

Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You want the power of life and death?"

"Yes!"

Emperor Jiajing looked a little hesitant, he was a little afraid that once Luo Xin got this order, he would wantonly cultivate cronies in the southeast.But if Luo Xin is not given the power of life and death, as Luo Xin said, he will face many obstacles in the southeast and it will be difficult to open the situation.After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision in my heart.It’s nothing to just give Luo Xin the power of life and death, as long as you don’t give Luo Xin the power to install officials. At worst, he will kill him, and Emperor Jiajing will arrange officials here, so that the southeast is still in his hands, and he can also pass Luo Xin. There was a killing spree over there, and the southeast was more in his own hands.

Thinking of this, he felt certain in his heart.In this way, Luo Xin went to the southeast not only to earn money for himself, but also as a knife for himself.

To be honest, Emperor Jiajing felt that he had lost control of the situation in the southeast, so he just used Luo Xin's knife to regain control of the southeast.So a smile appeared on his face and said:
"Luo Xin, I can give you a decree. You can kill officials below the third rank. But, you must not disappoint my expectations. I have given you such great power, and I want to see the result."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Xin hastily expressed his determination: "This humble minister must devote himself to death!"

"Luo Xin, don't take out this decree I gave you lightly. You can only do so when the situation is in crisis. The decree I gave you is to let you go to the southeast to do business, not to let you kill people indiscriminately. If Let me know that you misused your will, and then don't blame me for disposing of it to you."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Luo Xin left with a purpose, and after returning to his mansion, he immediately locked himself in the study, took out the list given to him by King Yu, looked at each name, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

It is not easy for everyone who can ascend to the top of the king!Don't look at King Yu as timid and cowardly, but as long as he sits in that seat, he will cultivate a force.And as expected of being a descendant of an emperor, he naturally had the means of being familiar with him since he was a child, which really allowed him to win over many courtiers.With these courtiers, plus one's own forces, there is no obstacle to the establishment of the Escort Bureau.

"Daqing!"

Lu Daqing came in from the door: "Master Hou!"

"Go call Tang Zhuang to see me."

Soon, Tang Zhuang appeared in Luo Xin's study.

"Tang Zhuang, how is the contact with the personnel?"

"Back to Lord Hou, this subordinate brought 36 brothers to the capital this time. At this time, those 36 brothers have already gone out to deliver letters. Within ten days, the other brothers will definitely arrive in the capital."

"Okay! Listen carefully to what I say next!"

Luo Xin handed over the letter he wrote to Tang Zhuang, and gave him detailed instructions on who to send each letter to, what identity it was, and how close it was to him.Then he took out King Yu's jade pendant and told him about it carefully.

After Luo Xin finished speaking, Tang Zhuang's eyes were all bright, like two little suns. He never thought that Luo Xin not only had his own way of saying this, but also brought Yu Wang in.It is much easier to run the Escort in this way.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, your subordinates are determined to live up to their mission."

"Be careful with everything!"

"Don't worry!" Tang Zhuang said confidently: "There are quite a few scouts among our people!"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "In addition to gathering old brothers together, we can also absorb some people from the world, but we must be careful in the process of absorbing."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou."

Luo Xin took out a stack of silver bills from his bosom, the stack of silver bills consisted of 15 taels, of which 8 taels were received as a gift for the renovation of the Longevity Palace, and the rest of the silver taels were received by Luo Xin after he became the cabinet minister. Some gifts, plus his previous accumulation.Put these banknotes in front of Tang Zhuang and said:

"Tang Zhuang, this is 15 taels of silver. You have to clear up the situation as soon as possible. And you won't be able to get a penny from me in a short period of time. I only have this family property, and now I give it to you." is you."

Tang Zhuang's expression became serious, he nodded and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, I will build the escort bureau as soon as possible, and then I can make money for Lord Hou."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "However, I didn't build this bodyguard agency just to make money."

"Subordinates understand! There is still information to be collected."

"Go!"

"Yes, Lord Hou, this subordinate will leave."

Luo Xin sat in the study for a while, then got up and went outside, walking casually in the mansion.At this time, Luo Xin's grandparents, aunt, aunt, sister-in-law and others have all left Luo Mansion and are on their way back to Shanglin Village. Being taken away, Luo Mansion looked very cold at this moment.

At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and the weather had already entered winter. Luo Xin took a deep breath, and felt a burst of cold air sucked into his heart and lungs, and his mind immediately became much clearer.

"Did you just take this opportunity to let the family members stay in Shanglin Village and never return to the capital?"

Luo Xin strolled in the back garden, thinking carefully.He was really afraid of Emperor Jiajing who was old but not dead.Although he now has his own power in the three major battalions, once Emperor Jiajing makes a sudden move to kill Luo Xin, he only has six points of self-protection ability.

Just protect yourself!

The family may not be able to take care of it!

but……

If the family members were to stay in Shanglin Village in Jinyang Prefecture, it would be much closer to the grassland.Once something happens to him, the family can escape to the grassland.

"Yes! Let the family members stay in Shanglin Village this time."

The next day.

Luo Xin changed into casual clothes and walked on the street, when he heard the comments of passers-by on the street, with a smile on his face, he walked into a restaurant casually, ordered two dishes and a jug of wine, while drinking slowly , while listening to the conversation in the restaurant.

There is a wave of wind blowing in the whole capital, a wave of pushing Emperor Jiajing to the altar.This trend was specially arranged by Luo Xin for those eight businessmen.Let those eight businessmen send people out to promote the wisdom and martial arts of Emperor Jiajing in the streets and alleys of the capital, and understand the sentiments of the people. , dilapidated, but Emperor Jiajing still refused to repair it and lived there.

It was because they couldn't bear to see Emperor Jiajing like this and loved Emperor Jiajing that they willingly repaired the Longevity Palace for Emperor Jiajing.

These businessmen can't do other things. They are familiar with doing this kind of thing. There are many people under them, pretending to be people of all kinds. The publicity in the streets and alleys, inns and restaurants immediately became a trend.

The purpose of Luo Xin's doing this was very simple, to impress Emperor Jiajing with the matter of repairing the Longevity Palace.Emperor Jiajing had a cold nature, no matter what great things you did to him, he would forget it after a while.That's why Luo Xin came up with such a trick.Let Emperor Jiajing be promoted to the altar, as long as he lives in the Longevity Palace in the future, he will think of being praised by the people, and when he thinks of being praised by the people, he will think of Luo Xin.

Because all of this was in exchange for Luo Xin's plan to come up with the royal signboard, which would make Emperor Jiajing think of Luo Xin's benefits once he became murderous towards Luo Xin.

Royal Palace.

Royal study.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the secret security in his hand, his face was full of joy, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.He was so happy, not only did he not need to spend a penny to repair the Longevity Palace, but he also gained a good reputation.He really wanted to see the faces of those officials and scholars kneeling in front of the palace.

"Luo Xin..." Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Let's take another look!"

At the same time, the news of Luo Xin's release also spread in the official circles of the capital.When they first heard that Luo Xin was released, almost all the officials thought that Luo Xin was exiled.But then they heard that Luo Xin was released to Hangzhou, and that he was an acquaintance of the fifth rank, these people couldn't sit still while envious.

Where is this exile!This is clearly Emperor Jiajing wanting to make great use of Luo Xin!If you don't try to curry favor at this time, what are you waiting for?
Therefore, Luo Xin's house suddenly became lively, and countless officials came to visit and give gifts every day.

Luo Xin never refuses anyone who comes, no matter who gives the gift or how much it is, he will accept it all.

He is now a poor man, in great need of money.And there is nothing wrong with leaving a greedy impression on Emperor Jiajing.Otherwise, a courtier with no flaws would make the emperor feel uneasy.

However, as more and more people visited, Luo Xin's heart became heavier and heavier after socializing day by day.Because many officials who came to give gifts were secretly asking him to show mercy to those powerful men after he went to the southeast.

In this turmoil, it entered December.The Longevity Palace had been built, so Zhou Yu and the others were rated as first-class in the year-end assessment. This made Zhou Yu and the other eight people excited. With this assessment, their path will be much easier in the future.Emperor Jiajing also allowed Luo Xin to return to Jinyang.

Luo Xin left the capital with Lu Daqing and eight veteran servants. When Luo Xin confessed to his friends and left the capital, he couldn't help feeling relieved. The intrigue in the capital made Luo Xin nervous every day.Now that the distance from the capital is getting farther and farther away, Luo Xin feels like the sky is flying high.
