Chapter 815 This Thing Is Poisonous
Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "Hu Zongxian is indeed a corrupt official, and he is not just an ordinary corrupt official. He is indeed extravagant and self-willed. He is like a local emperor in the southeast."

"Then...why did you still protect him?" Everyone asked puzzledly, and even showed anger on their faces.

Luo Xin spread his hands and said: "There is no way, no one is more suitable to sit in the southeast than him. The Japanese pirates have not been completely wiped out, and the biggest pirate leader Wang Zhi is still at large. I don't know when it will come back. Now I can sit in the town There are only three people in the southeast. One is me, His Majesty will not let me go, and I will not recommend myself, you all know the reason."

Everyone's expressions were gloomy, and they naturally understood Luo Xin's difficulty.Seeing that everyone understood, Luo Xin nodded and continued:
"The second person is Ma Fang, Mr. Ma. However, I'm afraid His Majesty will not let him go to Southeast easily. Moreover, Mr. Ma has never been to Southeast before, and he doesn't know about Southeast. Even if Mr. Ma goes, he will have to start from the beginning. At the beginning, it delayed the opportunity to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates.

The third one is Hu Zongxian.Therefore, even if Hu Zongxian is a corrupt official, licentious and self-willed, this is not the time for him to leave the southeast.

The southeast was originally Daming's granary, but now because of the Shibo Department, it can be said that the southeast is already the lifeblood of Daming, even more important than the northern border, and it is absolutely impossible for accidents to happen. "

Everyone was silent when they heard it, and after a while, they all sighed.

"This Hu Zongxian is really lucky to be able to get him to protect him."

"Yes!"

"But..." Luo Zhi suddenly changed his expression and said, "You will be hated by the civil and military courts."

Everyone's expressions were all concentrated, Zhang Xun was even more worried, and said with a worried face: "You were rewarded with golden pills by His Majesty, which would have aroused the envy of all parties, but now you are desperately trying to keep Hu Zongxian... No matter, you will have a sad life in the future." .”

"Your life is sad, and our life will be sad too!" Everyone sighed.

Luo Xin felt very sorry, now everyone in the world knows that the nine of them are one, if Luo Xin is not happy, they will definitely be suppressed, so they cupped their hands and said:
"Feel sorry!"

"We brothers don't need to talk about this." Zhou Yu waved his hands and said: "We just feel aggrieved by doing this. If Hu Zongxian is saved, not only will we not benefit at all, but we will also cause a lot of trouble."

"It can't be said that there is no benefit." Luo Xin said with a smile.

"What's the benefit?" Everyone looked at Luo Xin in surprise.

"Two benefits! One is public and one is private." Luo Xin raised two fingers with a smile and said: "First, in public, the southeast is stabilized, and Daming's granary and finances are also stabilized.

Second, in private, if Xu Jie knew that I used Zhishi to protect Hu Zongxian, what do you think Xu Jie would think of Hu Zongxian?Will the two of them still be close?No matter how much Hu Zongxian explained, would Xu Jie believe it? "

This is also the reason why Luo Xin finally made up his mind to protect Hu Zongxian to the death. Even if Hu Zongxian gave Luo Xin a handle, it was all hidden hands and could not be easily used.However, the news that he is now protecting Hu Zongxian to death has spread.On the one hand, Hu Zongxian will be grateful to Luo Xin, and perhaps he will lose his grudges and follow him sincerely.On the other hand, it made it impossible for Xu Jie to trust Hu Zongxian any more.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then their spirits lifted.In their view, their current strength is still too weak to compete with Gao Gong, Xu Jie and others.In their view, it is a miracle that Luo Xin can compete with Hu Zongxian in the southeast.Therefore, as long as they can destroy the strength of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, it will be considered their victory.

Just keeping Hu Zongxian still made them feel uncomfortable.

In fact, Luo was not happy in his heart.He just had to protect it for the sake of Daming Maritime Trade and Shibo Department.

Daming Marine Trade and Shibo Department are very important to him. It can be said that Daming Marine Trade is already an important source of money for Luo Xin.Today, cultivating the two powers of the grassland and Taiwan requires a lot of money.It is precisely because of the money obtained from Daming Maritime Trade and Shibo Department that Luo Qing and Luo Sheng are on the path of rapid development.However, if there is no Daming Maritime Trade and Shibo Department, most of Luo Xin's financial resources will be cut off, and the development of Luo Qing and Luo Sheng will be slowed down immediately.

Therefore, under the unhappiness, everyone's interest is not very high.After drinking for more than an hour, they dispersed. When Luo Xin returned to the mansion, Lu Rudai greeted her, with a worried look on her face and said:

"Master, Your Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No!" Luo Xin sat on the chair, drank the tea brought by Lu Rudai in one gulp, put down the cup, took out the brocade box from his arms, put it on the table and said:
"Your Majesty also rewarded this."

"What is this?" Lu Rudai stretched out her hand to take the brocade box.Luo Xin suddenly remembered that Lu Rudai was pregnant, and this golden elixir was poisonous, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the brocade box in his hand and said:
"Don't move, I'll open it for you to see."

Lu Rudai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Xin in bewilderment. Luo Xin then looked into the brocade box, and then a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. road:

"Sir, is this the golden pill that His Majesty takes?"

"Not bad!" Luo Xin said with a smile, "Dai'er has good eyesight."

Lu Rudai smiled broadly, stretched out her hand to take the golden pill, and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and eat it?"

Seeing that Lu Rudai was going to get the golden pill, Luo Xin was afraid that it would be bad for the fetus, so he closed the brocade box with a "slap" and said:
"Can't move!"

Lu Rudai's face was startled, and then a look of grievance appeared on her face, tears streaming down her face.

The pregnant woman was already emotionally unstable, seeing that Luo Xin refused to let her touch the golden core, she felt that her weight was very light in Luo Xin's confidence.Thinking of Zhong Jinhatun and Wang Cuiqiao who had never met before, I felt even more wronged, crying so hard that I choked.

Luo Xin panicked at that time, he and Lu Rudai were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship.And now that Lu Rudai is pregnant, how can she make Lu Rudai cry?
So, ignoring other things, he hurriedly said: "Dai'er, this thing is poisonous."

"poisonous?"

Lu Rudai's expression was startled, and then her face turned ashen. She didn't expect that Luo Xin could even make up the poisonous thing in order to prevent her from touching the golden elixir, so she sobbed and said:

"Is Mr. Xianggong deceiving Dai'er to be stupid? Your Majesty takes the Golden Elixir every day, and it is said that the cold and heat are not invaded. If it is poisonous, Your Majesty would have... long ago..."
