If you want to prevent such a thing from happening, you must keep the Xu family and the Hu family from the step where you need to discover your weaknesses. "

They understood Luo Xin's words, and their clothes were soaked in sweat in an instant.Think carefully about Luo Xin's words, it is really very possible that such a thing will happen.

To put it bluntly, today's Daming Haimao is not strong enough, it is just a newborn, and it is Luo Xin who can achieve today's results. I'm afraid it has already been divided up.

but……

The two giants Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian are really inferior!
The patriarchs of the five great aristocratic families looked hesitant, and after a while, Lu Ding said: "My lord, what do you want us to do?"

Luo Xin said in a calm voice: "You are familiar with those small and medium-sized merchants, first tell them about this matter, and then tell them that Xu Biao and Hu Ning will deal with them next, and let them be prepared."

"That's all?" Lu Ding asked in surprise.

"That's all for the time being!" Luo Xin said in a concentrated voice: "You list the backgrounds of those small and medium-sized merchants going back three generations, and give them to me tomorrow."

The patriarchs of the five great families left, worried.Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian teamed up, and even they were afraid. Would those small and medium-sized merchants be afraid?
Even if they tell those small and medium-sized merchants about the success, can they stand up to Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian joining forces?
The five masters are very pessimistic.They believed that if Luo Xin had no follow-up means, Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian would definitely buy the shares held by those small and medium-sized merchants, and they would not spend much money.

It would be fine if it was just the Xu family, but adding Hu Zongxian, the king of the southeast, would be terrifying.A careful analysis of Luo Xin's actions after he came to the southeast shows that he joined forces with Hu Zongxian to achieve today's achievements.Just imagine, if Luo Xin hadn't established a good relationship with Hu Zongxian when he first arrived in Hangzhou, and Hu Zongxian hadn't sent Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing to escort him, would Luo Xin have achieved what he is today?

Back when Luo Xin beheaded the magistrate's yamen officials and Lu's family, he had to wait for Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing to arrive.It can be said that without Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, if Hu Zongxian only sent Luo Xin some old, weak, sick and disabled, Luo Xin would not be able to achieve this goal at all, let alone wiped out more than [-] Japanese pirates later. The city of Hangzhou was captured by Japanese pirates, and the city was destroyed and people died.

Now that Hu Zongxian has abandoned Luo Xin, he has joined forces with Xu Jie instead. It can be said that Luo Xin has been pushed to the cliff. Will Luo Xin have a solution this time?

If Luo Xin falls, who will escort Daming Maritime Trade Company?

At that time, will the five of them really be able to stand up to Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian?

"Ugh……"

The five people sighed almost at the same time. They came to Lu Ding's house, and then began to gather the small and medium-sized merchants, and told them how the matter had turned out, and then the small and medium-sized merchants left worried.

Day two.

Lu Ding personally sent the background information of those small and medium-sized merchants sorted out by their five great families to Luo Xin. Looking at Luo Xin, Lu Ding asked worriedly:

"Master Luo, do you have a good plan?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "Although I am young, I have encountered more dangerous things than this in my life, but I, Luo Xin, won in the end. Lu Weng, you don't have to worry, I have my own way .”

"It's good if there is a way, it's good if there is a way!"

Lu Ding seemed to gain confidence all of a sudden, and finally went back with a smile on his face, and told the other four big families about what Luo Xin could do. Zhuangzhuang, Luo Xin really has never lost, so he can't help but feel confident.This kind of confidence spread quickly, giving confidence to those small and medium-sized merchants.

Prefect Yamen.

He Nian and Wang Ziren came in a hurry, with surprise in their eyes and said:

"My lord, do you have a solution?"

Luo Xin shook his head. To the five great families, he had to say that he had a solution, otherwise the entire Daming Maritime Trade would collapse. Facing the two giants of Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian, if Luo Xin did not stand up, those shareholders would immediately lose their hearts. Panicked, they were defeated by Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian one by one.But it is not necessary for his two cronies, He Nian and Wang Ziren.Luo Xinchang sighed and said:

"I haven't figured out a solution yet. The two giants, Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian, are too terrifying."

Seeing that He Nian and Wang Ziren looked stiff, Luo Xin said with a smile: "But don't worry, I have been cornered several times. It seems that there is no way out, but I finally got out of the predicament. As long as you are willing to find a way, There are always more solutions than difficulties.”

Hearing what Luo Xin said, the two of them had some confidence in their hearts. The key is that both of them almost participated in Luo Xin's affairs in the southeast, and personally experienced the miracle of Luo Xin's escape from a desperate situation.Seeing Luo Xin frowning and thinking, the two left without disturbing Luo Xin.

It was not until after noon that Luo Xin finished reading the materials on the table.The light of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and he whispered in a low voice:
"Zhang Daoyuan, my treasure is on you, you have to fight hard!"

"Daqing!"

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing appeared at the door.

Luo Dao said, "Go and invite General Qi."

After half an hour.

Qi Jiguang came to Luo Xin's study. After Luo Xin asked Qi Jiguang to sit down, he said to Lu Daqing:
"You and Wan Daquan are guarding outside the door."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Lu Daqing closed the door, and Wan Daqing stood guard outside.Seeing Luo Xin so nervous, Qi Jiguang's expression became serious.Luo Xin lowered his voice and asked:

"How is Zhang Daoyuan's investigation going?"

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "No clues were found. At the beginning, the officials searched all the houses in the entire Hangzhou city door by door, but Zhang Daoyuan seemed to have disappeared."

"Do you think Zhang Daoyuan has left Hangzhou City now?"

Qi Jiguang focused his eyes and said: "I can assure you, he must still be in Hangzhou."

"Why do you say that?" Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "Didn't you find blood on the top of the city? Didn't you infer that he slipped out of the city wall?"

"Impossible!" Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "At the beginning, the lower officials divided the 3000 people under him into two parts, 1000 people closed the city gates, searched door by door, and 2000 people were divided into four directions to hunt outside the city, let alone the Daoyuan Injured, or even uninjured, they couldn't outrun our well-trained cavalry, but they just overtook one man, and that man killed himself when he saw us. I think the man who slipped out along the wall was Red A dead soldier in the scarf army deliberately drew our attention to the outside, making the illusion that Zhang Daoyuan had escaped from the city, and Zhang Daoyuan had been hiding in the city of Hangzhou at all.

Therefore, although the officials did not find Zhang Daoyuan in the city of Hangzhou, after opening the city gate, the officials arranged heavy soldiers at the city gate to investigate carefully, but they did not catch any suspicious persons. I am sure that Zhang Daoyuan and his red men The Scarf Army is still in the city of Hangzhou. "

Luo Xin nodded happily and said: "I also think so. If Zhang Daoyuan was shot by me, even if he survived, he would be seriously injured. It is impossible for him to escape far away. If he dares to escape, he must die on the way to escape."

"See you, my lord."

Qi Jiguang was not at all surprised that Luo Xin could think of this point. Luo Xin was hailed as the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and that was absolutely true.And these days, he sealed off the gates of the city, searched closely, and made those who entered and left the city complain. Some people even sued Luo Xin, but Luo Xin suppressed them. He never held Qi Jiguang accountable. Qi Jiguang knew that Luo Xin thought of it too. up to this point.

"My lord, I believe that the Red Scarf Army must have a secret base in the city of Hangzhou, and they have an underground hiding place. These days they have been hiding underground. But the official can't dig three feet from house to house. And the lower officials think that maybe these days, the Red Scarf Army is secretly digging tunnels towards the outside of the city, and if there is any further delay, maybe they will dig out of the city and escape."

Luo Xin frowned slightly and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Impossible. The underground water level in Hangzhou is very high, and it is not easy for them to dig a basement. If they want to dig a passage leading to the outside of the city, it is absolutely impossible. It is a big project, and it is very difficult for them to complete it under the current conditions. Therefore, they must not have dug a tunnel, but hid in the basement, and waited for a year and a half, when the city defenses were loosened, and they immediately went to Hangzhou City. And they did not Be anxious, because Zhang Daoyuan needs at least half a year to heal. By the way, have you checked all the pharmacies in Hangzhou? Have you bought a lot of herbal medicine? Zhang Daoyuan is not the only one injured in the Red Turban Army, there are many others People get hurt."

"After checking, there are a total of six pharmacies in Hangzhou, and no one bought a large amount of herbal medicines. Moreover, the lower officials also sent scouts to focus on these six pharmacies, and no suspicious person was found."

Luo Xin's eyes flashed and he said, "That proves that the secret stronghold of the Red Turban Army is in these six pharmacies."

Qi Jiguang was stunned, then jumped up from his chair with a bang and said, "I'll lead my troops to surround these six drugstores and dig three feet into the ground for these six drugstores."

"Slow down!" Luo Xin raised his hand to stop Qi Jiguang and said, "Don't be in a hurry, after you go back, immediately remove the people monitoring those six pharmacies."

"grown ups……"

Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. I'm afraid those people of yours have been recognized by the Red Turban Army. I will arrange another person to investigate."

"My lord, there is no need to investigate. The subordinate officials went directly to surround them and dug the ground three feet. I don't believe they can't be dug out."

"No!" Luo Xin said with a serious expression, "Brother Yuan Jing, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe it." Qi Jiguang was taken aback for a moment, and then said seriously.

"Then listen to me, I'm playing a big game of chess. After you withdraw the people, add more soldiers at the city gate, search more closely, and create a momentum that they can't get out at all. The next step You don't have to worry about things for now."

Qi Jiguang's eyes showed doubts, but seeing that Luo Xin didn't mean to explain, he nodded and said:

"The subordinate obeys the order."

After Qi Jiguang left, Luo Xin took out two documents from the table, looked at them, and then shouted towards the door:

"Daqing."

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing walked in from the door.

Luo Dao said: "Put on your clothes, go out through the back door, go to the bodyguard bureau and let Chief Bodyguard Zheng come to see me."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

About two quarters of an hour, Lu Daqing brought Escort Zheng to the door of the study. Luo Xin asked Lu Daqing to wait outside the door, and then said to Escort Zheng:
"How many Jianghu people are there in the Hangzhou City Security Bureau?"

"28."

"How many of the 28 people can be trusted?"

Escort Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Six."

"Who among these six people is good at light work, good at detecting secrets, or good at stealing?"

"There are two." Zheng Escort said: "Because the Escort Bureau is also responsible for collecting information, we have paid special attention to such people. But there are only two in Hangzhou. If you need more, I can report to the Chief Escort Head, transfer people this way."

"No, two people are enough."

Luo Xin picked up the documents of those two people from the table, put them in front of Escort Zheng's desk and said:

"This is the information of two pharmacies, Xinglintang and Baishantang!"

Escort Zheng took the information and quickly read it, then looked up at Luo Dao:
"My lord, what does this mean?"

"You also know about Zhang Daoyuan, and you are also investigating secretly, but what news?"

Escort Zheng's eyes lit up: "My lord, could it be that Zhang Daoyuan is hiding in these two medicine shops?"

"Not necessarily." Luo Xin shook his head and said: "But there is a [-]% certainty that it is hidden in one of the six pharmacies in Hangzhou. Because not only Zhang Daoyuan was seriously injured in the Red Scarf Army, but many others were also injured in varying severity. It is impossible not to need medicinal materials, but you have also monitored the six major pharmacies, but did not find anyone buying a large amount of medicinal materials, and did not ask for a doctor. What does this mean?
This shows that they have doctors and medicinal materials.

And where are there both medicinal materials and doctors? "

"Medical center or pharmacy!" Escort Zheng said excitedly.

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "There are only six medical clinics and pharmacies in the city of Hangzhou, so I conclude that Zhang Daoyuan and the others must be hiding in one of these six."

"Then these two?"

Luo Xin sighed and said: "I just hope that Zhang Daoyuan's secret stronghold is in one of these two houses. If after your investigation, they are not in these two houses, we will check the other four houses. And among these two houses, The key point is to go to the secret investigation of Baishantang first. Remember to me, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it out after the first inspection, you can go again, but you must not be discovered. Even if you find Zhang Daoyuan or the Red Scarf Army, don’t startle the snake, come back and tell me. "

"My lord, is there anything suspicious about this Baishantang?"

"A total of three of the six pharmacies in Hangzhou are dedicated to opening medical clinics or pharmacies, and the other three pharmacies are only part of their family management, and they are also engaged in other businesses. But only two have purchased shares in Daming Haimao. These two The home is Baishantang and Xinglintang. The background of Xinglintang is that it has been a doctor for generations. Its ancestors used to be medical officials in the previous dynasty, and they also started as doctors. Other businesses were developed later, and Hangzhou belongs to their family. Rent land and reproduce here for generations. It is very unlikely that they are the Red Scarf Army.

However, Baishantang is different. They came to Hangzhou 30 years ago and started to work in the silk industry. They opened this Baishantang about 15 years ago.So there is a great possibility that he is the secret stronghold of the Red Scarf Army. "
