"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie said in a deep voice, "Luo Xin once defeated Huang Taiji and repaired the Longevity Palace for His Majesty. I think he still has some abilities. In the midst of familiarization, His Majesty should give Luo Xin a little more time, the old minister firmly believes that Luo Xin will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, then turned his gaze to Gao Gong and said, "What does Gao Qing think?"

Gao Gong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that there is no one in the court who knows more about financial management than Luo Xin."

Emperor Jiajing thought of Luo Xin's renovation of the Longevity Palace, and couldn't help but nodded again. Lu Bing, who was on the side, looked anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.Finally, Emperor Jiajing said, "

"Let's watch it for a few more days."

night.

Qiantang River and Wusong River.

There was an endless stream of carriages and horses, and the six major families in the southeast continuously sent their goods to the shore, waiting for the arrival of the sea merchants.

In fact, those sea merchants were not sea merchants at all, but pirates.They have already monopolized the maritime trade, obtained goods from Daming, and then sold them to the maritime merchants of the vassal state at sea, taking profits from both sides.If the caravan from Daming dared to go to sea privately, or the caravan from any vassal state dared to buy goods from Daming privately, they would be intercepted and killed by pirates at sea.

Among these pirates, the two biggest forces are Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. Originally, Wang Zhi had been negotiating with Hu Zongxian, and when he saw Luo Xin coming to the southeast to establish a city shipping department, he planned to stop smuggling, but to negotiate with Hu Zongxian in an upright manner. Luo Xin's shipping department was doing business, but after seeing Luo Xin's predicament, he continued to negotiate with Hu Zongxian while continuing to smuggle.

At this time, the fleet sent by Xu Hai and some small pirate fleets were sailing towards the Wusong River, while the fleet sent by Wang Zhi and some small pirate fleets were sailing towards the Qiantang River.Each fleet has more than [-] big ships, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai naturally did not come in person, but sent their men to come with more than a thousand pirates.They are the kings of the sea, and the confidence they play makes them firmly believe that no one dares to provoke them.

"coming!"

Someone from the Six Great Families on the shore shouted, these people are naturally members of the Six Great Families, but they don't have any direct descendants. After all, this is smuggling, and as the Six Great Families, one needs to avoid it.They just sent their concubines and housekeepers to run the business, while they were in charge of everything behind the scenes.

The people on the shore looked towards the water and saw more than [-] large ships breaking through the darkness and heading towards the shore.As they got closer to the shore and lowered the bridge deck, the pirates came down one by one. The leader contacted the six great families and moved boxes of gold and silver from the ship, while the people of the six great families began to transport goods to the ship.

Time is passing by quickly.Several island leaders, concubine disciples from the six major families, and the housekeeper were chatting. Two-thirds of the gold and silver on the ship had been moved to the shore, and two-thirds of the goods on the shore had also been moved to the ship.

Just at this time……

"Rumble..."

Suddenly there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance. It was the sound of dense horseshoes hitting the ground. Under the moonlight, groups of black shadows suddenly appeared.

"Cavalry!" Someone shouted.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The moon in the sky seemed to have disappeared and was covered by arrows. There was a wailing sound on the shore, and countless children of the six great families and pirates fell to the ground.

"kill……"

The sudden appearance of thousands of people and the intense killing made the people of the six great families stay there. On the contrary, the pirates reacted much faster. In the dark night, they couldn't tell how many people were attacking them, and they I saw with my own eyes that the companions around me fell down one by one, half of them fell down in an instant, and they ran frantically towards the water's edge, jumped onto the springboard, and ran towards the boat.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The cavalry had already rushed to the front, and a sharp arrow shot towards the ship. There were screams on the ship from time to time, accompanied by someone shouting:

"Ship! Sail!"

Of the more than 1000 pirates, only more than 500 people drove more than [-] ships away from the shore, sailed toward the depths of the water, and soon disappeared in the night.

Qi Jiguang slapped the saddle hard, and said in his heart: "If the Lord Ministry is willing to cooperate with Lord Luo and dispatch the navy to intercept, all these pirates will also run away."

He was very upset, and turned his head to look at those people on the shore. Among those people were more than 300 people from the six major families, and [-] pirates.Qi Jiguang shouted loudly:

"Take them away!"

"Who are you!" At this time a young man came out, looked at Qi Jiguang in the dark and said, "I am a disciple of the Cui family, how dare you arrest me?"

Qi Jiguang narrowed his eyes slightly, jumped off the horse, walked up to the young man with a smile on his face, and said affectionately:
"Young master reminding me, I will let you go now, but your servants will be arrested, and you need money from your Cui family to redeem them. Who else is a son or housekeeper of a big family here? If yes, stand up. Let the officer confirm and let you go."

"I belong to the Lu family!"

"I belong to the Lu family!"

"........."

After only a short while, several family members and housekeepers came out, Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said:

"Catch these people to the military camp and lock them up alone. The rest of them were tied up and locked in the military camp. The gold, silver and goods were also transported to the military camp."

Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang stared fiercely at his soldiers and said, "I know who you are, but remember, these goods and gold and silver belong to Mr. Luo, and you are not allowed to touch a single bit."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded with a loud bang, and they tied up people, tied up people, and delivered goods.Qi Jiguang cleaned the battlefield at Wusongkou, and Luo Qing did the same at the Qiantang River.

Before dawn, Wusongkou and Qiantang River were empty, not even a box of goods left.

At this time, in the six major families, those patriarchs and important figures of the patriarchs are still sitting in the lobby waiting, and there is only one day of trading on the fifteenth day of each month, so the patriarchs of the six major families will not sleep on this day, but wait. News of the success of the transaction came back, and the gold and silver obtained were shipped back, usually before dawn.So, they all sat in the lobby drinking tea and waiting.

City ship division.

Luo Xin was also waiting, but he didn't know that he was waiting for Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, because Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing each led [-] strong soldiers, and they attacked suddenly, how could they fail?
What he cares about right now is another line of strange soldiers, a line of sea power, Luo Sheng's navy.He couldn't help worrying, after all, Luo Sheng and the others hadn't experienced a real naval battle yet.

The ships escaping from Wusongkou and Qiantang River had just sailed into the sea when they saw a fleet of ships approaching indistinctly from the opposite side.Those pirates thought it was their own response, so they rushed towards the opposite side without any defense.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly, dots of fire flew towards their ship in the night sky. Before they could react, those dots landed on the ship, and then there was a roar like a thunderbolt, making the pirates sit on the ground.The mind was greatly terrified, the opposite ship approached, one by one jumped up, the pirates were completely knocked down by the thunderbolt that they had never seen before, Luo Sheng's men immediately confiscated their weapons, and drove them away. They put out the fire, those pirates were still buzzing, and instinctively and mechanically started to put out the fire. After the fire on the ship was extinguished, the pirates also came to their senses. He knelt down on the ground with a thud, not even daring to breathe.

Naturally, Luo Sheng didn't kill them. He needed manpower now, whether it was to conquer Taiwan Island or establish a country on Taiwan Island in the future, he needed manpower extremely.He immediately dispersed the remaining hundreds of people, assigned them to boats, and then sailed towards the banks of the Qiantang River.

in the night.

When Luo Sheng's boat docked, Luo Sheng lit a torch and spun three times in the air, and then saw a torch on the shore twirling three times.

"Borrow, lay down the bridge deck, and move things." Luo Sheng ordered.

At the same time, nearly 2000 people poured out from the shore, led by Wan Daquan, and those nearly 2000 people were soldiers recruited by Tang Zhuang from the north in the past month or so.

There was a sound of wheels, and a hundred carriages came from the night and stopped on the shore.The nearly 2000 people on the shore, plus the thousands of people on the ship, quickly filled a hundred carriages, and then the nearly 2000 people followed Luo Sheng onto the ship, and more than seventy ships pulled anchor and set sail, quickly disappearing into the night among.Wan Daquan drove a hundred carts with his men towards the manor outside Hangzhou.

on the sea.

Luo Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, looked towards Hangzhou, and murmured in a low voice:
"I don't know when the next meeting will be."

Hangzhou.

City ship division.

Luo Xin stood on the rockery with his hands behind his back, looked towards the direction of the sea, and whispered:
"It should be over!"

At this time, the entire Shibo Division was extremely silent, and the hundred guards around him were not in the Shibo Division at this time. If someone wanted to assassinate him at this time, it would be much easier.

A line of white appeared on the horizon.

Luo Xin shook the hilt of the long sword stuck on the ground, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's a pity that no one came to assassinate me! Presumably everyone regards me as a coward, right? Are you waiting for me to leave Hangzhou in despair?"

dawn.

The gates are open.

Wan Daquan rushed into the city with a hundred men on horseback, and galloped towards Shibosi.The soldiers guarding the city looked at Wan Daquan's back, spit on the ground and said:

"Running for the funeral! Your master can't get along anymore, you are so arrogant!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes. He turned his head and saw hundreds of horses galloping towards the city gate. The two leaders were Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing.

At the same time, at Wusongkou and the banks of the Qiantang River, the heads of the six great families were standing there with their people. There were no people, goods, or ships there.The ground was a bit messy, and there were blood stains.

"Something went wrong!" A bad idea came to their minds.

"My lord!" Wan Daquan stepped into Luo Xin's study, and called out with a happy face.

"Successful?" Luo Xin stared at Wan Daquan with burning eyes.

Wan Daquan nodded excitedly, "Successful."

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lu Daqing walked in quickly and said, "Master Hou, General Qi and the uncle are here."

Luo Xin stood up and said: "Please wait in the second hall, I will come in a while."

After a while, Luo Xin came out in official uniform, discussed with Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, and Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing left.Luo Xin sat in the second hall and drank a cup of tea slowly, then put down the cup and said to Lu Daqing:
"Congratulations to Lord Wang and Lord Wang."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

A while later, He Nian and Wang Ziren came to the second hall. Luo Xin said to Wang Ziren, "Take all the things you prepared, and we will go to the magistrate's yamen."

Excitement immediately appeared on Wang Ziren's face and he said, "My lord, are you going to make a move?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "It's time for us to do it."

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Wang Ziren left in a hurry, and after a while, he returned to the second hall with a stack of papers in his arms, and said to Luo:
"My lord, everything is ready."

"Power, order troops, let's go!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Wan Daquan ordered the one hundred soldiers, who had been busy all night, but now they were full of energy, and followed behind Luo Xin with weapons in hand.

At this time, another [-] soldiers poured in from the city gate, and it was Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing's subordinates, heading towards the magistrate's yamen.Another half an hour passed, and a group of people rushed in from the gate of the city, but they were members of the Six Great Aristocratic Families, and they also rushed towards the magistrate's yamen in a hurry.They didn't know what happened at Wusongkou and the bank of Qiantang River. They thought of Song Danian at this moment and wanted to ask Song Danian to investigate.

In front of the gate of the magistrate's yamen.

This time Luo Xin did not ask Lu Daqing to hand in the greeting card, but walked towards the gate of the magistrate. The guards in front of the gate stepped forward to stop Luo Xin, and saluted with a smile on his face:

"Master Luo, where are you today?"

"Is Lord Song here?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

Seeing the smiling look in Luo Xin's eyes, the guard showed a hint of disdain in his eyes and said: "Master Zhifu hasn't come back yet."

"Oh, let Yang Wenxiu come to see me."

"Okay, Mr. Luo, wait a moment."

The guard walked into the magistrate's yamen again, went straight to the workshop and said, "Master Yang, Luo Xin is looking for you again."

An impatient expression appeared on Yang Wenxiu's face, "This Luo Xin really has a thick skin."

As he walked out while talking, the guard followed closely behind him and said obsequiously:
"Master Yang, don't you want him to wait outside for a while?"

"Forget it!" Yang Wenxiu said impatiently, "Hurry up and send him away."

"My lord has a kind heart!" The guard followed behind him in a trembling manner.

Outside the prefect gate.

Luo Xin stood with his hands behind his back, and the breeze blew up his robe.At this time, many spectators surrounded the magistrate's yamen, whispering one by one.

"Count Luo is here again."

"He has a really thick skin."

"It's embarrassing every day."

"very pitiful."

"........."
