"It seems that Shen Hao won't last long."

Sure enough, the warehouse of Shen Hao's house was burned the next day, and the goods were completely burned. That night, someone threw dead chickens, dead dogs, and dead rats into his house...

On the third day, Shen Hao gave in and sold the shares to Xu Biao and Hu Ning, only getting 1000 taels of silver.

All of a sudden, people in the city of Hangzhou were panic-stricken, and those small and medium-sized merchants were worried every day, for fear that Xu Biao and Hu Ning would come to their door one day.

but……

What should come is still coming.Two days later, Xu Biao and Hu Ning went to Yu's house together, a small merchant holding shares in Daming Maritime Trading. That small merchant didn't dare to argue with him, and obediently sold his shares in exchange for only 1000 taels of silver.All of a sudden, those small and medium-sized merchants became more flustered, and they went to the five great families one after another. The five masters came to the magistrate's yamen together, but they were blocked by the Qi family army who was holding the door, saying that Luo Xin was sick and could not come out. guest.

Now even the five masters have lost confidence in Luo Xin, what's wrong?Isn't there no way, hiding in the mansion and not coming out?The five masters were also in a hurry, they didn't know how far Xu Biao and Hu Ning would go.
"Brother Lu, why don't we... let's pay a visit to Hu Butang?" the Patriarch of the Wang family said in a daze.

Lu Ding sat there pondering for a long time, finally shook his head and said: "Do you still remember when we and Song Danian teamed up to target Lord Luo?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"At that time, Master Luo was also hiding in the Shibo Department and couldn't come out. Later, he went to Song Danian's place every day like a grandson to ask for an interview. At that time, we were all watching Luo Xin's jokes, thinking that Luo Xin had nothing to do, but in the end Tired? We became the biggest joke, and Song Danian became the biggest joke."

"Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

"Let's take a look again. I don't think I've ever seen through Lord Luo. Have you ever thought about it, at this time, if we voted for Hu Zongxian and completely offended Lord Luo, what would we do if Lord Luo won in the end? Consequences? The Lu family is a lesson from the past."

When everyone thought about the extermination of the Lu family, they couldn't help feeling cold.One by one the chickens nodded like pecking rice:
"Yes, yes, look again, look again!"

Prefect Yamen.

Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang sat facing each other in the second hall, Luo Xin was in official uniform, Qi Jiguang was wearing armor, both of them were drinking tea silently, but no one spoke.

The atmosphere seemed dignified, and finally Qi Jiguang put down his teacup and said, "My lord, do you think that Xu Biao and Hu Ning will really go to Liu Fang's house?"

"I will go, I will definitely go." Luo Xin also put down his teacup and said: "Liu Fang only belongs to small merchants, so after Xu Biao and Hu Ning have cleaned up those retail investors, they will definitely attack small merchants. After eating up the Shen family and the Yu family, maybe the next family will not be the Liu Fang family, but it won't be too long. By the way, your thousand cavalry are all in armor?"

"That's right!" Qi Jiguang frowned and said, "Let them hide in the yard every day, stay in armor, and don't tell them why. My subordinates are all out of order. They always ask me why."

"Hold on for a few days, look at me, don't I also wear official uniforms here every day to prepare? Brother Yuan Jing, this level is very important to me. Relatively speaking, whether I can catch Zhang Daoyuan is not important, what is important It is to let Xu Biao and Hu Ning enter Liu Fang's house."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin sighed and said: "If I miss this opportunity, I really can't think of a way to deal with the attacks of Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian. Once I fail, I won't be afraid of being dismissed from office, even if I die. But Xin The Shibo Department that has been built so hard will be destroyed. Brother Yuan Jing, do you think that once Daming loses its maritime trade, is there any hope for Daming's finances?"

"Alas..." Qi Jiguang also let out a long sigh.

Beijing.

Xu House.

Xu Jie looked at Xu Luqing who was opposite and asked, "Is there any news from home?"

"Yes!" Xu Luqing said respectfully: "The third brother and Mr. Hu have already purchased the shares of all retail investors, and started to buy the shares of small merchants. The first buyer in Hangzhou, a man surnamed Shen, encountered a little trouble. And the trouble came to Luo Xin, but Luo Xin had no choice but to let our two families take over the shares of the Shen family.

Because of Luo Xin's helplessness, those shareholders were disappointed, and they were even more afraid of us Xu Jie and the Hu family. When the third brother approached the second Yu's family, the Yu family did not dare to resist at all, and happily sold the shares. Sold to us.Now that everything is going smoothly, I think Luo Xin really has no other way this time.As long as Luo Xin loses his prestige, we will occupy [-]% of the shares, and when the time comes, we will pull a few of the five aristocratic families, fight a few, and soon this Daming Maritime Trade will be ours. "

There was no joy on Xu Jie's face, but a slight frown. Xu Luqing looked at Xu Jie puzzledly and asked:

"Father, you..."

"I'm wondering why Luo Xin has been huddled in the magistrate's yamen and has not responded?"

"Father, you think too much." Xu Luqing said with a smile: "How can he react? Faced with our Xu family and Hu family joining forces, does he have the ability to respond? Father, if you are not filial, if you are in Luo Xin's current position, do you have a solution?"

The Xu family thought for a while, then a wry smile appeared on their face, they shook their heads and said, "I really have nothing to do."

"That's it." Xu Luqing smiled and said, "You can't even do anything about it, father, so what can Luo Xin do?"

The Xu family frowned and said, "But... I always feel that something is wrong. With Luo Xin's temperament, how could he be so quiet?"

"What can I do if I'm not quiet?" Xu Luqing said with extreme self-confidence on his face: "It's because our two families are too powerful, and Luo Xin is afraid."

The Xu family shook their heads lightly and said: "My father always feels that something is wrong, but I just can't think of what Luo Xin can do in this situation. Let's see."

Speaking of this, Xu Jie also showed self-confidence on his face: "I also want to see what kind of backhand he has. I don't believe that a new rich man can have any powerful methods."

Xu Luqing thought for a while and said, "The power that Luo Xin owns is just the Fuxing Society. The people in the Fuxing Society are indeed young heroes, but the important thing is the word youth. Maybe after 20 years, the Fuxing Society has become a big force in Ming Dynasty. , but judging from the current situation, he is just some little guy, who can't get on the stage at all, and can't make waves.

Could it be... Gao Gong? "

"No!" Xu Jie shook his head and said, "That old fox Gao Gong will only sit on the sidelines, sit and watch us fight Luo Xin, and then take advantage of the fisherman. And...even if Gao Gong wants to make a move, he has nowhere to make a move .We are buying shares normally, and those people are also selling them voluntarily, and he has nowhere to start."

"Then... is it the military?" Xu Luqing frowned and said, "Luo Xin has a lot of influence in the military. I heard from the third brother that Qi Jiguang is now guarding the gate for him like his private army. "

"How dare he rely on the military?" Xu Jie laughed and said, "What His Majesty fears is his influence in the military. It's too late for Luo Xin to hide from the military, so how dare he get close to the military? As for Qi Jiguang guarding the gate for him... …hehe……"

Speaking of this, Xu Jie laughed and said: "It's really guarding the gate for him. Didn't he just be assassinated by the Red Scarf Army? I'm afraid he received some news that the Red Scarf Army is going to kill him again, so I just let him go." Ask Qi Jiguang to guard the gate for him..."

Speaking of this, Xu Jie's expression was suddenly stunned, and he said for a while: "Perhaps Luo Xin is really afraid of being assassinated by the Red Scarf Army. He has been busy looking for the Red Scarf Army for a while, and has not cared about us."

"It's not better!" Xu Luqing's eyebrows were beaming, and Xu Jie's face also relaxed a lot.Xu Luqing suddenly said in a concentrated voice:
"Father, do you really want to join hands with Hu Zongxian?"

"Hmm!" Xu Jie nodded and said, "Hu Zongxian has become popular now, but now Gao Gong is very aggressive. Joining forces with Hu Zongxian will do more good than harm."

Suzhou.

Governor's Palace.

Hu Zongxian laughed and patted Hu Ning on the shoulder and said, "Good job, keep working hard."

"Uncle, don't worry." Hu Ning smiled happily, but suddenly the smile disappeared again, and said with a sigh of relief:

"Uncle, if we do this, do we feel a little... a little..."

Hu Zongxian sighed, sat back on the chair and said, "I don't want to either! But you see, my uncle is now calling the wind and rain in the southeast, and he is called the king of the southeast, but I don't know that my uncle is sitting on the crater. Uncle, I have no background , there was originally Yan Song, but I didn’t expect that Yan Song would fall, and my uncle might be thrown into the sky prison at any time. Although with the help of Luo Xin, uncle, I finally gained a firm foothold in the southeast, but there was nothing in the court. Heel, you must find someone to form an alliance with. In fact, uncle, I hope that the person I want to form an alliance with is Gao Gong. Although Gao Gong is a bit more noble, he is not insidious. But Gao Gong looks down on uncle and treats him with contempt. It’s meaningless to put a hot face on a cold butt. So I had to cooperate with Xu Jie.”

"Master Na Luo..." Hu Ning sighed and said, "It's really pitiful."

"It's the same on the battlefield, and it's the same in the officialdom. I didn't intend to hurt Luo Xin, but I can't do anything about it. If my uncle doesn't do this, he will probably die. Your Majesty, he... ...I am afraid that I have long wanted to kill me in my heart, my majesty has a person who is very important in the capital, and he often speaks well of me in front of your majesty."

"Can't we join forces with Luo Xin?"

"He's still too weak. On the one hand, his official position is small. On the other hand, he comes from a poor family and has no family support behind him. Joining forces with him is not called joining forces, it's called taking care of their Luo family, and now we need It's an ally, not a younger brother. This time, even if I, Hu Zongxian, have failed him, Luo Xin. Later, I will try my best to make up for him."

Having said that, he looked at Hu Ning and said, "Which house do you and Xu Biao decide to go to today?"

"The Liu family of Baishantang."

Hu Zongxian nodded and said, "It's a miscellaneous fish, let's go."

Looking at Hu Ning's leaving back, Hu Zongxian narrowed his eyes slightly, with a jealous gleam in his eyes, and whispered in a low voice:

"Luo Xin, if you want to blame, you can blame your name of the military god. There can only be one military god in this world, and it is me, Hu Zongxian, not you. You think I will be grateful for the military achievements you gave me. You? That can only make me feel humiliated. After you are dismissed, I will be the only military god left in Da Ming, and His Majesty is reluctant to kill me. Da Ming always needs someone who can fight. At that time, I will Take care of you, let you live a life of a rich man, I am grateful to me. Hehe..."

Prefect Yamen.

A figure flew over the ridge at high speed, so fast that people on the street didn't notice.The figure went straight to the magistrate's yamen.

"Whoosh..."

The figure fell straight into the courtyard of the second hall.

"Qiang..."

Wan Daquan's long knife was out of its sheath, and his figure rushed towards the figure, exuding a fierce and murderous aura.

"Daquan, stop."

Luo Xin shouted anxiously from behind, Wan Daquan's figure was stunned, the long knife in his hand was less than half a foot away from Shi Yun's head, Shi Yun's forehead was soaked with sweat, at that moment, he wanted to hide , but was captured by Wan Daquan's strong murderous aura, and couldn't even move a step.Until now, the heart was still beating violently.

Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang stood up vigorously, strode up to Shi Yun, and shouted in a concentrated voice:

"How about it?"

Shi Yun hurriedly said: "My lord, Xu Biao and Hu Ning have already gone in."

Luo Xin's eyes lit up, he strode outside, and shouted at the same time: "Yuan Jing, let's go!"

"Rumble..."

Just a dozen breaths later, Qi Jiguang's thousand cavalry galloped towards Liu Fang's house under the leadership of Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang.

Liu House.

above the hall.

With a flattering smile on Liu Fang's face, he looked at Xu Biao and Hu Ning who were sitting in front of them, their faces were full of arrogance, and said:
"You two young masters, what advice do you have for visiting the humble house today?"

"Advice is nothing, but there is a business." Xu Biao said lightly.

Liu Fang shrank his eyes, but then he restored his smile and said, "I don't know what kind of business it is, please ask the two young masters to come to the door in person?"

"You own the shares of Daming Maritime Trade Company, right?"

"Yes!" Liu Fang nodded.

Xu Tiao took out a banknote from his sleeve and put it on the table, saying: "This is 1000 taels of silver, and your shares have been bought by me."

There was a sneer in Liu Fang's heart. He naturally knew what these two people were doing. These two people are making troubles in Hangzhou. If Liu Fang doesn't know what they are doing, he will be blind and deaf.

But you know what you know, but you don't know what to do in your heart.If the Red Scarf Army wanted to rebel, they would naturally need a lot of gold and silver, and Daming Maritime Trade was undoubtedly a cornucopia, and it would definitely be a huge support for the Red Turban Army. To give up the shares of Daming Maritime Trade, it was a big deal for them. A huge loss.Therefore, in the past two days, he also told Zhang Daoyuan who was recuperating here. Zhang Daoyuan was also reluctant to part with this piece of fat, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.At this time, dozens of Zhang Daoyuan and the others were waiting for news from Liu Fang in the backyard.
