"come in!"

Luo Xin turned and walked into the study, followed by Wang Cuiqiao, the door behind him was closed by Lu Daqing from the outside.Only Luo Xin and Wang Cuiqiao were left in the room.Luo Xin looked at Wang Cuiqiao silently, while Wang Cuiqiao was pale and trembling slightly. In her heart, Luo Xin was a murderous devil, a devil more terrifying than pirates.

"Wang Cuiqiao, the oiran of Maxiuma's brothel in Linzi, is outstanding in appearance and can play the pipa well, so high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen flock to her.

You disobeyed the old bustard's management and were hated by the old bustard, and sold you to an old rich businessman who was willing to pay a high price. You agreed on the surface, but you hit it off with Luo Longwen. Luo Longwen then redeemed Wang Cuiqiao and married him as his concubine.

Later, he was captured by Xu Hai and married to Xu Hai.

Wang Cuiqiao's face was pale, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Luo Xin, with extreme shock in her eyes.She didn't understand, how could a military god of the Ming Dynasty, a number one scholar in the dynasty, and a common knowledge of the fifth rank, know herself so well?
Looking at Wang Cuiqiao's pale and flustered face, Luo Xin's face showed a soft color, and said softly:
"A few days ago, after you went ashore with Xu Hai, you didn't save the local people, did you? And you also deliberately spared a lot of the local soldiers, right?"

"how do you know?"

Wang Cuiqiao asked each other with a trembling voice.At this time, Luo Xin's image in Wang Cuiqiao's heart was no longer like a devil, but simply a devil.If it wasn't a devil, how could he even know what he had done, either explicitly or secretly?
The most important thing is to be so clear about your past and the origin of your own life experience, what is it if it is not a devil?
When I thought that I was standing in front of a devil at this moment, great fear came to my heart.

If this Wang Cuiqiao is definitely not a cowardly person, otherwise it would be impossible to cross the sea with Xu Hai, and he is not hiding in his lair waiting for Xu Hai to raise him and become Xu Hai's plaything, but to follow Xu Hai to fight around and give advice, and Xu Hai Hai almost obeyed Wang Cuiqiao's words.Such a woman is not a matter of courage, but rather of being surprisingly big.

Such a surprisingly courageous woman was completely terrified in front of Luo Xin at this moment, so terrified that she couldn't even stand up. He knelt down on the ground with a "Plop", and he didn't know what to say when he was kneeling on the ground, he was just trembling with fear.

"Get up!" Luo Xin said warmly.

But Wang Cuiqiao still knelt on the ground, touching the ground with her head, trembling all over.Luo Xin smiled helplessly:

"I know you are a good woman. The reason why I invited you here is to pull you out of the fire pit of the pirates. If you want to live a peaceful life in the future, I can give it to you."

Wang Cuiqiao stopped shaking, slowly raised her head, and looked at Luo Xin who was sitting in front of her.At this time, she looked at Luo Xin carefully. Luo Xin is only 17 years old now, and he is full of heroism. Originally, Wang Cuiqiao was thinking in his heart just now, does this devil want to possess him?
But when she saw Luo Xin's young and handsome face, this idea dissipated in her heart.How could such a young and handsome person with status, status, and talent take a liking to her, a wimpy flower?And now that she is 25 years old, she is no longer the innocent cardamom she used to be.

Why did the Naluo devil treat himself so well?

"Get up!"

Luo Xin said again, holding hands with empty hands.Wang Cuiqiao hesitated for a moment, but seeing Luo Xin's sincere expression, she finally stood up boldly.

"sit!"

"The slaves dare not!"

Luo Xin intentionally lowered his face and said, "If I tell you to sit, sit down."

"Pfft!"

Luo Xin's gloomy face scared Wang Cuiqiao down on his knees again with a "plop", touched his head to the ground, and cried out in a trembling voice:
"Sir, forgive me!"

"boom!"

Just as Luo Xin showed helplessness on his face, he saw the door of the study was knocked open with a "bang", and He Nian appeared at the door, with Lu Daqing standing behind him who wanted to catch He Nian but was hesitating.He Nian stood at the door with a happy expression on his face.

"grown ups……"

Then he saw Luo Xin sitting on a chair, Wang Cuiqiao kneeling at Luo Xin's feet, Luo Xin was staring at him blankly.A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he still said:
"My lord, the merchants from the feudal kingdom are here!"

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Are you crazy about this period?"

"Isn't that something to be happy about?"

A look of dissatisfaction appeared on He Nian's face, and he even glanced deliberately at Wang Cuiqiao who was kneeling on the ground, the meaning was very obvious:
It's better than flirting with women and doing nothing, right?
How can Luo Xin fail to see the meaning of his eyes?Said unhappily:
"Let them wait and tell them that my lord has something important to do."

He Nian glanced at Luo Xin with disdain, and then at Wang Cuiqiao who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. Does that mean that forcing women is your important matter?
But seeing Luo Xin staring at him with staring eyes, the fear of Luo Xin from the bottom of his heart hit him, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, turned and walked out.

Inside the study.

Luo Xinxin sighed, and said softly: "Miss Wang, you stand up, I don't mean any harm. I just think it's not easy for you as a woman to be in the world. You have gone through ups and downs, but you have a heart of innocence. So I thought about protecting and You. You... If you don't want me to intervene in your life, I can let you go."

"Wow……"

When Wang Cuiqiao heard Luo Xin's words, his heart was touched all of a sudden, and he couldn't help crying loudly.He Nian, who had just left the study door for a few steps, heard Wang Cuiqiao's cry in the study, and imagined the scene of Luo Xin torturing Wang Cuiqiao in the study, and couldn't help but tossed his sleeves and said:

"abnormal!"

Lu Daqing looked at the back of He Nian's departure, his face was flushed with suffocation.

Inside the study.

Luo Xin sat there motionless, and did not try to persuade Wang Cuiqiao, but watched Wang Cuiqiao knelt on the ground and twitched from crying, with a look of pity on his face.

Wang Cuiqiao cried for about two quarters of an hour, and then slowly stopped crying.Still kneeling on the ground, twitching.At this time, Luo Xin said softly:
"Miss Wang, if you trust me, stand up and sit down. Tell me about your affairs."

"Thank you sir."

Wang Cuiqiao has lived in the world for a long time, she originally had a delicate heart, good at observing words and emotions, but she was just intimidated by Luo Xin's reputation as a devil.At this time, after crying a lot, he calmed down and could feel Du Luoxin's sincerity, so he stood up and sat down gently on the chair according to his words.

Luo Xin looked at Wang Cuiqiao crying so disfigured, he could not help showing a smile on his face.Wang Cuiqiao was wondering why Luo Xin was laughing, so she saw Luo Xin stand up, took a towel from the towel rack on the washbasin and handed it to Wang Cuiqiao.

Wang Cuiqiao's face turned red, she took the towel with both hands, thanked her in a low voice, wiped her face carefully, and then saw that the towel was dirty, her face turned red again, she held the towel in her arms, At a loss.

Luo Xin stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Wang Cuiqiao blushed like a piece of red cloth, lowered his head, and returned the towel in his hand to Luo Xin.Luo Xin put the towel into the washbasin, poured a cup of tea for Wang Cuiqiao himself, put it in front of her, then looked at her and said:

"Tell me about it."

Wang Cuiqiao hesitated for a moment, and finally started to speak.She has held back for too long these years, and she has no one to talk to.When Xu Hai escaped and she was living outside of Hangzhou, she didn't dare to go back to Nanjing to join her sisters. Now she burst into tears in front of Luo Xin. Feeling that Luo Xin was getting closer, he told Luo Xin exactly what happened to him.

While listening, Luo Xin sighed in his heart about Wang Cuiqiao's difficulty and her tenacious character. After Wang Cuiqiao finished speaking, Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said:

"Miss Wang, what are your plans for the future?"

Seeing Wang Cuiqiao's helpless appearance, Luo Xin said again: "I advise you not to go to Xu Hai anymore, Xu Hai's future is only a dead end. I will not let him go."

"Naturally, the servant will not go to him again." Wang Cuiqiao said hastily.

"What about Luo Longwen? If you want to find him, I can send someone to take you there."

"No!" Wang Cuiqiao repeatedly shook his head and said, "I won't look for him again."

Wang Cuiqiao paused for a moment, with a look of despair on his face, and said: "After being snatched by Xu Hai, I also met Luo Longwen. He was sent by Hu Zongxian to talk about surrendering to Xu Hai, and he even made an appointment with me in private. , Let me persuade Xu Hai to surrender, there is no old kindness at all."

Luo Xin sighed and said, "Then what is your plan?"

"I don't know!" Wang Cuiqiao shook her head.

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, "Then are you willing to live an ordinary life?"

"The life of ordinary people?"

"Ok!"

"What kind of ordinary people live?"

"You have two choices, one is to stay with me, and I will wrong you to be one of my servant girls. The other choice is, I have a place, you can go there and be an ordinary person, and I will give you some fields, No one dares to bully you there."

Wang Cuiqiao hesitated for a moment, then stood up, knelt in front of Luo Xin and said, "I am willing to be the master's servant."

"Alright!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Get up!"

"Yes, master!" Wang Cuiqiao stood up obediently.

Luo Xin shouted to the outside: "Daqing."

Lu Daqing pushed the door open and walked in: "Master Hou."

"This Miss Wang will be my maid from now on. Take her down and arrange a place for her."

"Yes, Lord Hou!" Lu Daqing responded, then turned to Wang Cuiqiao and said, "Miss Wang, please follow me."

After Lu Daqing and Wang Cuiqiao left, Luo Xin sat there in a daze for a while, then stood up from the chair, walked out of the study, and walked towards the lobby.

in the lobby.

The merchants of the vassal state had long been impatient, but they couldn't leave.Only by looking at the gate frequently, finally heard footsteps, saw Luo Xin's figure, stood up one by one, and waited for Luo Xin to walk into the gate, one by one hurriedly saluted:
"I've seen adults."

Luo Xin nodded, came to his seat and sat down before saying, "Everyone, sit down."

After everyone sat down, the Spanish businessman stood up again and said, "My lord, have you considered our proposal before?"

"Your proposal? What proposal?" Luo Xin asked blankly.

The businessman couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "That's our offer."

"Oh..." Luo Xin said lightly, "It has already been burned in the stove."

"Sir, you..."

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said: "In my eyes, that is waste paper, why not burn it?"

The businessman was so choked that he almost lost his breath, took another deep breath, took out a stack of papers from his arms and said:

"This is our newly proposed price, please take a look at it."

Luo Xin did not take the stack of papers, but looked at him indifferently and said, "But according to the price I gave you last time?"

"No!" said the businessman, "Although there is a gap between the price and the adult's price, we have also raised the price..."

"Forget it!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I'm not a businessman, so I won't bargain with you, and you know the price I give you very well, and it can still make you rich."

"grown ups……"

Luo Xin waved his hand to stop the man again and said: "One should not be too greedy, only the mutual benefit of both sides can make it work for a long time."

Those merchants from the feudal kingdom looked at me, I looked at you, and finally all their eyes were on the businessman holding a stack of papers. The businessman's expression kept changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"My lord, your Shibo Department has just opened. If those of us leave, have you considered the consequences?"

He Nian's complexion changed, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. These feudal merchants dared to threaten the Ming government.But he didn't expect that Luo Xin, who had been expressionless all this time, had a smile on his face and said:

"Of course I've thought about it, you've said it all, Shibo has just opened, so we are not in a hurry, we have plenty of time to wait. I believe that even if you leave this time, there will definitely be other businessmen coming. The difference It's just a matter of time. However, if you leave Daming this time, don't come back again, and Daming won't do business with you."

The merchants from the vassal states looked at each other, they thought that Luo Xin would not agree to their price, but they did not expect that Luo Xin would not even look at their price. When they threatened Luo Xin, Luo Xin threatened them in turn.Tell them that Daming will not allow them to land again in the future.

Then if Daming expelled them, would there be businessmen from the feudal kingdom in the future?
Have!
There must be!
There will definitely be a steady stream of businessmen from the vassal state coming to Daming.And they will return to their own country in despair, become beggars, or become pirates.This is still a good result, and they are likely to be captured by others as slaves.

but……

The price they gave Daming was so low that he was used to it, and he was used to it.Although the price Luo Xin gave them was absolutely fair, and as Luo Xin said, this price would still make them rich, but they still felt unbalanced in their hearts.The merchants exchanged glances, and the one who talked to Luo Xin said:
"My lord, we really can't accept your price..."
