Luo Ye's blood boiled immediately, imagining that he was riding a horse and jumping a gun on Taiwan Island, expanding the territory, his face turned red with excitement.

"I'm going to Taiwan."

Luo Heng nodded and said, "Sheng'er is still young, after you go, you will be in the father-son army."

Luo Qing said again: "If uncle wants to go, you can resign after my nephew leaves the capital, and after a while, uncle will take his family to the southeast."

"I see!"

Because at this time, the noise appeared.It took the Ministry of Households a hundred days to finally distribute the salary owed to the officials.All the officials were happy to bring their salaries to buy meat and go home, but Xu Jie came to the Longevity Palace.

Emperor Jiajing was also happy, he had just taken a pill, so Xu Jie waited outside the door for an hour before being recruited by the red-faced Emperor Jiajing.

"Chen, Xu Jie pays respects to His Majesty!"

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing was in a very good mood, with a rare smile on his face and said: "Xu Qing, what made you come to see me at night?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the situation in the southeast is very bad. Prices are soaring, Japanese pirates are rampant, and people's hearts are unstable. Will the court send a patrol to look at it, so as to find out the reason and prevent the situation in the southeast from deteriorating further?"

Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Xu Qing, are you aiming at Luo Xin?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie really nodded and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is targeting Luo Xin, it has nothing to do with personal grievances, but for the sake of Daming. When Luo Xin arrived in the southeast, he went on a killing spree. It is indeed a bit too much. If Southeast In the chaos, it is Daming who will be damaged. Your Majesty, the southeast is the granary of Daming. Now the price of goods has skyrocketed, and has risen to the highest level in history. If this continues, the southeast will be in chaos."

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a while and said, "I haven't received Luo Xin's distress letter, which means Luo Xin can still deal with it."

"Your Majesty, what if Luo Xin bullies you because he is afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly, Xu Jie further said: "We just sent people down to have a look. If Luo Xin can handle it, we won't interfere. If Luo Xin can't handle it, our people can take over immediately. It will not make the situation in the southeast more chaotic."

Emperor Jiajing also received the news about the situation in the southeast, and he was also a little worried. He pondered for a while and said:

"Who are you going to recommend?"

"Zhang Juzheng!"

"Zhang Juzheng!" Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "Okay, let him alone."

Hangzhou.

Luo Xin walked out from the Shibo Department, and walked towards the magistrate's yamen not far away in an official sedan chair.Around the sedan chair, Wan Daquan led a hundred veterans to protect it.

Several people in the crowd left quickly, those people were sent by the Six Great Aristocratic Families to monitor Luo Xin, now seeing Luo Xin coming out and heading towards the magistrate's yamen, they rushed back to report.

Niu Er, a servant of the Lu family, was walking in the alley with his head bowed.Suddenly, I felt the darkness in front of me. When I looked up, I saw a big man looking at him with a grim smile. Looking back, I saw two big men walking towards him, talking and laughing.

"Whoosh..."

Niu Er knew it was wrong, so he took out the dagger from his pocket, but before the dagger in his hand stabbed out, he saw the big man opposite him kicking his lower abdomen, the speed of the big man's kick was really too fast , it was too late to deal with it.With just this one kick, Niu Er got away with it.

"Boss, this kid is too weak."

"Stop talking nonsense!" the head of the bodyguard said, "Put him in a sack quickly and send him to Lord Hou."

In front of the magistrate's yamen.

When Song Danian heard that Luo Xin was coming, he didn't care about his face at this time, he stood at the door early and waited for Luo Xin.Seeing Luo Xin get off the sedan chair, he stepped forward two steps:
"No, you're finally here!"

"My lord, let's go in. The officer has something to show you." Luo Xin said with a smile.

"thing?"

Song Danian welcomed Luo Xin into his study with his head full of question marks.Luo Xin took out a memorial from his bosom and put it in front of Song Danian, and said with a smile:

"My lord, take a look. If you agree, join me in the performance."

Song Danian opened the memorial and looked at it for a few times, his expression changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "You want to attack the Lu family?"

Luo Xin nodded lightly and said: "This is the only way, Mr. Song should understand. The current situation has reached a critical point. If you can't cut the mess quickly, the situation will only get worse. Of course, if your lord is not willing, then I will Go and run my Shibo Division honestly."

at the same time.

Except for the Lu family, the five great families all received news that Luo Xin had gone to the magistrate's yamen.The five great families just smiled lightly, so what if Luo Xin and Song Danian join forces?
After all, this southeast is still the southeast of their six great families.

Lu's.

The housekeeper of the Lu family was still looking around at the door, waiting for Niu Er to come back to report, but he waited and waited and didn't come.And at this moment, he heard the sound of neat footsteps, and groups of soldiers appeared from the streets on both sides.

The people who came were the three thousand soldiers led by Qi Jiguang, only the sound of footsteps and shouts of generals could be heard.Three thousand soldiers quickly surrounded the Lu Mansion.The housekeeper of Lu's mansion ran towards the mansion in a rolling and crawling manner.

At the gate of the City Shipping Department.

Luo Qing led dozens of soldiers and stopped at the gate. He returned to the barracks at midnight yesterday, and early this morning, he went to the city to look for Luo Xin.When he heard that Luo Xin had gone to the prefect's place, he urged his horse to go to the prefect's yamen.At this time, Luo Xin and Song Danian walked out of the gate side by side.

Song Danian finally wrote his name on the memorial, and joined Luo Xin in the memorial.It was clearly written in the memorial that the Lu family colluded with Japanese pirates, and the witnesses and material evidences were complete.The physical evidence is the silver and materials seized last time. Among the 300 million taels of silver sent to Emperor Jiajing was the physical evidence that the Lu family colluded with Japanese pirates. As for the personal evidence, Luo Xin did not kill the disciples and housekeepers of the Lu family, but kept They were detained in Qi Jiguang's barracks and their statements were recorded.

only……

Song Danian knew that once his name was dropped, he would become enemies with the Six Great Southeast... No, the Five Great Aristocratic Families.

However, he has no choice.And at this time, he had a kind of expectation in his heart, looking forward to seeing the face of the Patriarch of the Lu family when he was killed, and looking forward to seeing the faces of the Patriarchs of the other five great families.

Didn't you abandon me like a dog?I'll let you see that I, Song Danian, are not easy to mess with. With the cooperation of me, Luo Xin, you so-called aristocratic families are the losers.

"Brother!" Luo Xin called out joyfully when he saw Luo Qing jumping off his horse as soon as he walked out of the gate of the prefect's yamen.

"Little brother!" Seeing Luo Xin, Luo Qing happily strode forward, and the two brothers hugged each other fiercely.

"Brother, everything is going well?"

"smoothly."

"When did you come back?"

"Midnight last night. What is this, little brother?"

"I'm going to kill today..."

Luo Xin briefly explained the matter, and Luo Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's so courageous to kill him without leaving a single piece of him."

Song Danian's heart skipped a beat at the side, the members of the old Luo's family seemed to be possessed by killing gods.

"Little brother, what am I doing?"

Luo Xin thought for a while and said: "Go back immediately, lead your three thousand soldiers into the city, divide the team into five teams, and wander around the other five great families."

"Okay, I'll go back now!"

Luo Qing got on his horse, shouted at his men, and galloped out of the city.From the beginning to the end, Luo Qing never looked at Song Danian, nor said a word to Song Danian, and Luo Xin didn't introduce him either.If this was normal, Song Danian would have been popular long ago, but now he stood there silently, even with a stiff smile on his face.

At this moment, he understood that Hangzhou was not his before, but belonged to the six great families.It will not belong to him in the future, it may belong to Luo Xin.Of course, it is also possible that Luo Xin and the six great families fought each other, and in the end Song Danian took advantage of it. Thinking of this, Song Danian cheered up again, got into the sedan chair with Luo Xin, and walked towards the direction of Lu's Mansion.

At this time, the Lu Mansion was in chaos, and the Patriarch of the Lu Family came out to question him.But no one answered, but if they wanted to rush out, they would be mercilessly beaten by three thousand soldiers.The head of the Lu family was so angry that he could only jump up and down and curse.

The news that Qi Jiguang's army surrounded the Lu family soon spread to the other five great families, and the heads of the five great families were shocked when they heard it.Immediately sent people to inquire about the news of Luo Xin and Song Danian, and learned that Luo Xin and Song Danian were walking slowly towards Lu's mansion in sedan chairs.

"What is Luo Xin doing?" The heads of the five great families were a little puzzled.

"Master..." The butler ran in with a pale face: "Officers and soldiers..."

"What happened to the officers and soldiers?" Lu Ding frowned.

"Officers and soldiers from outside the door." The butler finally said the whole sentence.

"There are officers and soldiers outside the door?" Lu Dingteng jumped up, but he got the news that the Lu family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and he was only allowed to enter, not to leave.

Of course, no one went in at this time.

Lu Ding pondered for a while and said, "How many people are there? Who is the leading general?"

"About 500 people, led by Luo Qing."

"Luo Xin's big brother!" Lu Ding pondered for a while and said, "Are you allowed in or out?"

"I don't know." The butler shook his head and said, "I saw the officers and soldiers coming to the gate of the mansion, so I was anxious to report to the master."

"Send a few people out to try, um, let them buy some food."

"Yes!"

This kind of thing happened not only in Lu Ding Mansion, but also in other four great families.When they found out that Luo Qing's soldiers did not follow their actions, they all went to Lu's house in sedan chairs, wanting to see what happened to Lu's house.And Luo Qing's soldiers also silently followed behind the five great families, heading towards Lu's mansion.

Lou House.

The Lu family members were still cursing at Qi Jiguang, but no one dared to step forward.Because you stood there and scolded, Qi Jiguang and those soldiers turned a deaf ear.But if you dare to step forward and pretend to rush out, you will be beaten unceremoniously.

The heads of the other five great families also arrived, and they found that Luo Xin and Song Danian hadn't arrived yet.These five people got together.

"My lord, what's going on?"

Lu Ding was also a little puzzled and said: "It seems that this posture is the momentum of confiscating the family and exterminating the family, but...does Luo Xin dare? Is he crazy?"

At this moment, standing in the crowd was a middle-aged scribe, but it was Zhang Juzheng.In fact, he had already entered Hangzhou City yesterday.The chaos in Hangzhou City shocked him.Prices are soaring, people's hearts are unstable, and there are threats from Japanese pirates, and refugees from all over the world flock here.From Zhang Juzheng's point of view, the current Hangzhou city is like a huge powder keg, as long as there is a little spark, the whole Hangzhou city will be destroyed.

He didn't sleep all night last night, he was thinking, if he came forward, how can he solve the current predicament in Hangzhou?
After thinking about it all night, he found it difficult as a result.Because it involves too much.

The first is to ask Hu Zongxian to intercept the Japanese pirates and make sure that the Japanese pirates are not allowed to reach Hangzhou.But, would Hu Zongxian talk to him?The second is to stabilize prices, but why did the prices in Hangzhou suddenly soar like this?Zhang Juzheng investigated for a day, but did not dig out the root cause.The third is to stabilize people's hearts, especially those tens of thousands of mechanics.Regarding this point, Zhang Juzheng felt somewhat confident, he could talk to those shop owners, if there was any difficulty, he could help to solve it.The last point is the refugees outside the city, which is not a problem for Zhang Juzheng.However, he found that he could only solve the latter two problems, but could not do anything about the first two problems.

Today he originally planned to spend a day on his own, and then went to see Song Danian and Luo Xin.But he didn't expect that Qi Jiguang led an army to surround the Lu Mansion, and later learned that Luo Qing, who returned to Hangzhou, also led his troops to cruise in front of the other five great families.

"What is Luo Xin going to do?" Zhang Juzheng's face couldn't help but change drastically: "Man, he wants to attack the six great families in the southeast? He...is he too courageous?"

Zhang Juzheng was hiding in the crowd, he wanted to see what Luo Xin wanted to do.On the other side of the crowd, Lu Ding walked towards Qi Jiguang with the heads of the other four great families.Just as he walked to the front of the team, he heard a "clang" in his ears, and the soldiers in the team shook their guns and pointed at them.Lu Ding paused, and shouted to Qi Jiguang not far away:
"General Qi!"

Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at Lu Ding, and said with a smile on his face: "Lu Weng, you don't need to ask the young general, the young general doesn't know anything. Master Luo will be here soon, if you have any questions, you can ask him."

After the words fell, the voice suddenly became cold and said: "Listen, all soldiers, anyone who collides with the team, beheaded!"

"cut!"

Three thousand soldiers shouted together, scaring Lu Ding and the others back a few steps.The Patriarch of the Lu family standing in front of the gate was even more unbearable, and sat down on the ground in fright.

Zhang Juzheng in the crowd was terrified, he had a feeling that Luo Xin was really going to kill.

How does this work?
This is going to make a big mess.
