"Okay, tonight I will arrange for the two of them to jointly investigate Baishantang."

"Not only Baishantang, but also his silk workshop and the place where he lived. Especially the place where he lived."

"Yes, my lord."

"Go."

Three days later.

Luo Xin received bad news, Xu Biao and Hu Ning approached the Shen family, a small merchant who owns shares of Daming Maritime Trade.Offered to buy his shares, but the money given was about the same as the beggars.The Shen family had already learned about the situation from the five great families, so they naturally refused.However, not long after Xu Biao and Hu Ning left, Master Shen's leg was broken on the way to his shop.

The Shen family reported to Luo Xin, Luo Xin looked at Patriarch Shen who was being carried on a stretcher in the hall, and couldn't help but feel a headache.The yamen servants were sent to catch those ruffians, who escaped from Hangzhou City after beating Patriarch Shen.When the portrait was painted, it was recognized by the soldiers guarding the city at the east gate, and they indeed ran away from the east gate.

Patriarch Shen firmly insisted that the two people who beat him had followed Xu Biao and Hu Ning at the beginning, Luo Xin pondered for a while, and sent someone to invite Xu Biao and Hu Ning.

The place where the two of them lived, Luo Xin knew for a long time that Xu Jie owned a property in Hangzhou, so soon Xu Biao and Hu Ning were invited to the lobby.The two walked into the lobby, Xu Biao's face was full of anger and sarcasm, while Hu Ning's eyes were full of guilt.

Xu Biao hated Luo Xin deeply, but Hu Ning knew that his uncle was greatly favored by Luo Xin and had seen Luo Xin's thunderbolt methods, so the two came to the lobby with different expressions.

When Luo Xin saw two people, he showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "Come, sit up for the two young masters."

Then a yamen servant moved two stools and asked Xu Biao and Hu Ning to sit down.After Xu Tiao sat down, an impatient expression appeared on his face and said:
"Master Luo, why did you invite the two of us here? We are both busy."

Anger appeared on the faces of officials and yamen servants in the lobby, but Luo Xin still pointed at Shen Hao with a smile on his face and said:

"Do the two sons know this person?"

Xu Biao seemed to have just discovered a person lying on the ground, looked it over carefully, and then said with a smile:

"Isn't this Shen Hao? Why are you lying here?"

"Xu Biao, you bastard, if you can't buy my shares, let him break my legs..."

"Shut up!" Xu Tiao yelled coldly: "I'm just going to discuss with you to buy your shares. If you don't agree, I will leave. When did I break your leg?"

Shen Hao's eyes were full of hatred and he shouted: "The two people who broke my legs are the two servants who followed you to my house. You didn't instigate them, who else could it be?"

"Shen Hao, I'm warning you, don't spitting blood at others, and you will sit back when you frame someone." Xu Biao said coldly.

"Mr. Xu." Luo Xin asked with a smile, "Those two people are your servants?"

"No!" Xu Biao shook his head and said, "I just met in Hangzhou by chance, so we could talk better. We have been together for a few days, and after leaving Shen Hao's house that day, the two of them said they were going to leave Hangzhou, and they had no contact with each other after that." Sir, this Shen Hao falsely accused me, please punish him.”

Shen Hao panicked, now that Xu Biao has pushed the matter away completely, firstly he did not catch those two people, and secondly, he has no evidence, if he makes himself sit back, his family will be destroyed.Can't help but look at Luo Dao imploringly:

"grown ups……"

"My lord!" At the same time, Xu Biao also raised his voice and said: "My lord, do you want to cover up Shen Hao? I will write to my father about it."

Luo Xin waved his hands with a smile and said, "Such a trivial matter doesn't need to alarm Mr. Xu Ge. However, the case is still unclear."

"Why don't you know?" Xu Biao looked at Luo Dao with sharp eyes: "He has no witnesses and no evidence. Isn't this a false accusation?"

"You can't say that!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "What you said just now has been recorded. Mr. Xu, did you just say that those two people were with you?"

"I did, but those two people have nothing to do with me."

"Who can prove it?"

"Young Master Hu can prove it."

Luo Xin then shook his head and said: "Mr. Hu also went to Shen Hao's house that day, so it can be regarded that Mr. Hu is with you, and your people are useless to prove it. There must be one with your Xu family, oh... and the Hu family is completely People who have no relationship come forward to testify. Of course, it is best to capture those two people and admit in front of the official that they have nothing to do with you."

Xu Biao's complexion sank. He originally wanted to punish Shen Hao for framing, so he just won Shen Hao's shares.Now he was blocked by Luo Xin, so he said darkly:

"My lord really wants to protect Shen Hao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Luo Xin's originally smiling expression darken, and he shouted in a concentrated voice:

"Are you a dummy?"

"What did you say?" Xu Tiao was stunned at first, and then said angrily.

Luo Xin looked at Xu Biao with eyes like a fool and said, "Where did you see that I am going to cover up Shen Hao? I have already explained it very clearly, but you don't understand it. If you don't understand, you can ask, I will see For Xu Ge's sake, why don't you explain it to you? But you don't ask, but you are acting stupid, don't you know that you are cheating?"

"Cheating? What do you mean?" Xu Biao asked confusedly.

"It means you dug a hole and let your father fall in." Luo Xin said sarcastically.

"you……"

"What are you?" Luo Xin said sarcastically, "Did I say that Shen Hao should not be punished? Your IQ is much worse than your father's?"

"you……"

Hu Ning stepped forward, grabbed in front of Xu Biao, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, since your lord has decided to punish Shen Hao, let's pronounce the sentence. We don't have to engage in such unnecessary arguments."

Xu Tiao was stunned, and then suppressed the anger in his heart. Now there is nothing more important than getting Shen Hao's shares. As long as he gets Shen Hao's shares, it will open a gap for those small and medium-sized merchants, and let them know that even Luo Xin If they cannot be protected, it will be much smoother to acquire the shares of those small and medium-sized merchants in the future.Once the shares of all small and medium-sized merchants are purchased, Luo Xin's prestige will be hit hard, and Hu Zongxian will see that Luo Xin is a paper tiger and the power of the Xu family.At that time, Hu Zongxian will really join forces with Xu Jie, and this is the most important thing.

So he stopped talking and just stared at Luo Xin with angry eyes.Luo Xin showed another smile and said:

"Young Master Hu, the verdict cannot be pronounced yet."

"My lord just now..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Those two ruffians who interrupted Shen Hao did follow Mr. Xu to Shen Hao's house, and Xu Biao also said just now that he and those two ruffians are friends."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin also glanced at Xu Biao sarcastically.The meaning of that look is very obvious, you are friends with the ruffians, and you are also a ruffian.This made Xu Tiao so angry that his lungs would explode.Luo Xin didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued:
"Now Shen Hao insists that those two ruffians are Xu Biao's servants, and Xu Biao broke his leg. And Mr. Xu wants to decide that he is just friends with those two ruffians, and he didn't cause it at all. He wants to punish Shen. Hao is guilty of false accusation. Therefore, the key to the case now lies in those two hooligans.

Therefore, the case cannot be judged until those two hooligans are caught.Of course, the two sons are noble, so I will not let Shen Hao go easily, I will put Shen Hao in prison, as long as I don't catch those two thugs for a day, I will lock him up for a day, and I won't catch him for a lifetime , I will imprison him for the rest of his life, two sons, are you satisfied now? "

Hu Ning's gaze shrank, and he understood at this moment that Luo Xin not only wanted to protect Shen Hao, but also his shares.

What put Shen Hao in prison for a lifetime was to protect him with good food and drink.In this way, they would never see Shen Hao again, and if they couldn't see Shen Hao, they would never want to get shares from him again.

"What a clever method! We can't let him succeed."

Hu Ning immediately smiled and said: "My lord, you also said that we have a noble status. If we argue with a businessman like Shen Hao, we will lose our status. Let's not sue him for the crime of framing. It's pitiful to see him, Let him go home and heal his wounds. If he is put in prison, he may be a lame man in the future."

A trace of regret flashed in Luo Xin's eyes, but he had no reason to force himself to put Shen Hao in prison.Then he said lightly:
"Then let's do this first. After I catch those two ruffians, I will invite the two young masters."

Luo Xin returned to his study, sulking there.Xu Biao and Hu Ning moved too fast, but there was still nothing to do on their side, and there was no letter from Escort Zheng.Then he shouted outside:

"Daqing!"

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing's figure appeared at the door.

"Go ask Escort Zheng to come see me."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Escort Zheng stood opposite Luo Xin.Luo Xin looked at Escort Zheng and said in a deep voice:

"How's it going?"

"It hasn't been found out yet!" Escort Zheng said softly: "The Baishantang and the workshop have already been checked, so it's time to go to Liu Fang's mansion. Baishantang and the workshop are fine, and we will start to check Liu Fang's mansion tonight." .”

"Well, if you find the news, let me know immediately."

"Yes! Your lord."

"Go!" Luo Xin said lightly.

Escort Zheng left the magistrate's yamen through the back door, and walked on the street, he felt his back was chilly, because his back was soaked with sweat just now, although Luo Xin didn't get angry, but the pressure on him was very big.

"It seems that my lord is really in a hurry. I want to go back and tell you two boys."

Five days later.

Escort Zheng came to Luo Xin's study again, but this time he didn't come alone, but two people, followed by a thin man who was looking at Luo Xin excitedly.Seeing Luo Xin looking over, he knelt down with a plop and said:

"The villain's luck meets the adults."

"Fortune?" Luo Xin was stunned and said, "You are not a descendant of Shi Qian, are you?"

"The villain is right."

As soon as he heard that he was a descendant of Shiqian, Luo Xin immediately gained confidence, and helped him up with his own hands, saying:
"But what did you find out?"

"Yes, my lord." Fortune nodded and said: "There are dozens of people in the back garden of Liu Fang's mansion who never go out, and the villain also found out that there is a secret entrance in the ancestral hall of Liu Fang's mansion, but the villain did not go down. .”

Luo Xin jumped in confidence, stretched out his hand and spread out a piece of paper, then took a charcoal stick and rubbed it on the ground, Escort Zheng and Fortune stared blankly at Luo Xin, not knowing what Luo Xin was going to do, but Then the two of them opened their eyes wide in shock.

Then Luo Xin quickly drew a face on the paper with the charcoal stick, then looked at Shi Yun and said:
"Is there such a person in there?"

Shi Yun hadn't woken up from the fact that Luo Xin drew a portrait of a character with just a few strokes, and said after hearing the words:
"what?"

"I said, is there such a person among the dozens of people?"

"Yes, I have seen this man, and other people respect him very much."

"Okay!" Luo Xin knocked on the table excitedly and said, "Shi Yun, from today onwards, you will monitor the Liu Mansion for me. If there is any situation, you must come and tell me immediately, and you must do it as quickly as possible, understand?"

"clear."

"Well, especially these two people."

Luo Xin took the paper again, quickly sketched the portraits of two characters on the paper and said, "As soon as these two people enter Liu's residence, please notify me as soon as possible."

"Aren't these two people... Xu Biao and Hu Ning?"

"You know both of them?"

"The head of the bodyguard once asked me to monitor the two of them."

"Okay, it's the two of them. Once you find that they have entered Liu Fang's gate, please notify me as soon as possible."

"No problem." Shi Yun nodded and said: "With my lightness, if I find the two of them, I will guarantee that they will enter the gate, and I will appear at your lord's place as soon as I sit down in the lobby."

"Okay!" Luo Xin patted Shi Yun on the shoulder and said, "If this matter succeeds, I won't treat you badly."

"Thank you sir!"

"Go, monitor the Liu residence immediately."

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, a sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Xin's mouth, and he muttered to himself:
"This Liu Fang also belongs to a small merchant, and he has no background like Shen Hao. Xu Biao and Hu Ning, you two should find him soon."

"Daqing!"

"Master Hou!"

"Please, General Qi!"

Half an hour later, Qi Jiguang came to Luo Xin's study.Luo Xin said softly: "Brother Yuan Jing, I have something to discuss with you..."

Qi Jiguang left, but came back within an hour. This time he did not come back alone, but came back with a thousand cavalry, saying that he had received news that the Red Scarf Army was coming to assassinate Luo Xin. Will stay here to protect Luo Xin.

Another two days later.

Luo Xin received a bad news. The caravan of Shen Hao's family was robbed by Japanese pirates on the way back to Hangzhou. Everyone died and all the money and goods were robbed.After the news was sent to Luo Xin, Luo Xin's eyes released anger.Luo Xin was able to conclude in an instant that this was Hu Zongxian's action. Where are there any Japanese pirates in the southeast now?This must be Hu Zongxian's regular army disguised as Japanese pirates, looting the caravan of Shen Hao's family.Hu Zongxian saw Shen Hao suing Luo Xin, and Luo Xin didn't use any favorable countermeasures, so he was much less afraid of Luo Xin. This is the trend of joining forces with Xu Jie.
