Chapter 917 I don't know if he heard it
Under Xu Jie's coercion, those people were all anxious, some timid people's legs were shaking.When Luo Xin came in, they immediately seemed to have a backbone, and when they heard Luo Xin's words, they almost burst out laughing, their faces flushed and their shoulders trembled.

A few black lines appeared on Xu Jie's forehead, and he snorted coldly and said, "I didn't let you go, who dares to go?"

"Oh! It turned out that the elder Ge asked them to stay, so let's keep it." Having said that, he cupped his hands towards Xu Jiegong and said:

"Your official has met Mr. Xu Ge."

"Hmph!" Xu Jie snorted coldly and said, "Luo Xin, I ask you why you didn't sit in the office?"

Luo Xin went to a chair and sat down, and said calmly: "Didn't Mr. Xu Ge also sit in the office?"

"You..." Xu Jie's chest heaved violently, there are official rules in the officialdom, Luo Xin's position is much lower than Xu Jie's, this is Xu Jie's confidence to come here to find trouble.Thinking about it in his heart, even if Luo hated him like death in his heart, he still had to be disciplined honestly.Even if Xu Jie humiliated him to his heart's content today, he had to endure it.

He wanted to humiliate Luo Xin in public and express his anger, that's why he didn't let Luo Xin's subordinates leave. He wanted to strip Luo Xin's face in front of Luo Xin's subordinates, so that Luo Xin's prestige would be lost.

but……

He never expected that as soon as Luo Xin came in, he hurriedly put on a gesture of tearing his face apart, not only pointed at Sanghuai and scolded Huai, but also sat down on his own, asking himself if he didn't sit in the office either?

"Crack!" Immediately, Xu Jie slapped the table and said, "I just heard that someone in Zhan Shifu has lost his duty as an official and often does not come to the yamen to inspect it."

"Snapped!"

Luo Xin slapped the armrest of the chair hard, the sound was much louder than Xu Jie's, and Xu Jie shivered in fright.Suddenly remembered that Luo Xin is a general, not a simple literati, and his temper is not very good, just smashed the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, if he beat himself up here, his reputation would be ruined.Just when he was worried, he heard Luo Xin shout loudly:

"Which one of you sneaked out again? Or who came late and left early again? How many times have I said that since you are wearing an official robe, you must work hard."

"We didn't!" The dozens of officials shook their heads together.

Luo Xin then turned his head to look at Xu Jie, and said with a puzzled face: "Old Xu Ge, they said no, who did you catch? You tell the subordinates, and the subordinates will definitely punish you."

"Why are you pretending to be confused?" Xu Jie was trembling with anger, "I'm talking about you."

"Me?" Luo Xin asked innocently, "What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Jie continued to tremble: "I ask you, where did you go today? Why can't I see you in Zhan Shifu?"

"You ask this!" Luo Xin said lightly: "Then talk about it, the officials under me didn't make mistakes, right? Then why do you reprimand them? You can reprimand people at will if you are a senior official? Do you have any soldiers?" Lin's character? You must give my subordinates an explanation for this matter. If you don't explain it and don't apologize, starting today, Zhan Shifu will not welcome you."

"Okay!" Xu Jie calmed down, he felt that Luo Xin had led him astray, he couldn't let Luo Xin go on like this, so he nodded and said:

"I saw today that you, the concubine of the left, did not sit in the court, so I vented my anger towards you on them. This is my fault. But..."

Xu Jie's eyes suddenly became sharp, locking on Luo Dao like two sharp arrows:
"Give me an explanation!"

"This matter is easy to explain!" Luo Xin said lightly: "Actually, you don't need to come here at all, just send someone to ask. You know about the smashing of Juxian Bookstore, right?"

Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat, he remembered that the emperor asked Luo Xin to repair the gate of Prince Jing's mansion himself, if Luo Xin used this as an excuse, he really had nothing to say.However, he then thought that with Luo Xin's identity, it was impossible for him to go there in person. At most, he would show up in front of King Jing's Mansion when the gate was finally installed. , so he sarcastically said:

"So, are you going to repair the gate of King Jing's Mansion? I'm going to see in a while, how far has the gate of King Jing's Mansion been repaired?"

The meaning of his words is, you Luo Xin, don't lie, I will verify it later.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xin said with an innocent face: "I'm going to repair the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion? This is not so fast, is it?"

"Aren't you?" Xu Jie asked in surprise, he really didn't know what reason Luo Xin had other than this reason.

"of course not!"

Seeing Luo Xin confidently denying it, Xu Jie suddenly felt uneasy, and said in a deep voice:
"Then what did you do?"

"You still remember the Black Dragon Gang?" Luo Xin's eyes suddenly became cold.

Xu Jie's eyes were fixed and he didn't speak.Luo Xin didn't wait for him to speak, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sneer full of killing intent:
"The Black Dragon gang smashed my bookstore, so I smashed his hall, and just ran away from Cao Tian. However, Cao Tian was too naive, he didn't dare to run away quickly, and instead hid near the capital , was discovered by my people, I am going to catch him today."

"But you caught it?" Xu Jie couldn't help asking, and regretted it as soon as he said it.

There was a sneer at the corner of Luo Xin's mouth: "I didn't catch it."

Xu Jie's heart was relaxed, and then his face sank. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Luo Xin say lightly:

"but……"

Luo Xin paused, and looked at Xu Jie with a pair of starry eyes. Their gazes collided in the air. Xu Jie's eyes were deep and he remained silent.The two stalemate for about five breaths, Luo Xin smiled lightly and said:

"I yelled at his back and told him that if he was willing to commit suicide at the door of the family who instructed him behind the scenes, before committing suicide, pointing at the door of the house and shouting, it was the family who ordered him behind the scenes, and afterward, he was afraid of accidents. Get exposed, hunt him down and silence him. I will spare his family, or I will destroy Cao Tianman's family."

Speaking of this, a bright smile appeared on Luo Xin's face: "I don't know if he heard it, hehe..."

A trace of irritability and uneasiness emerged in Xu Jie's heart, and he said with a gloomy face, "You can be excused for not sitting in the office today, so it's not an exception."

After saying that, he got up, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards the door.Luo Xin's faint voice came from behind:
"Mr. Xu Ge, even if I don't sit in the office today, it has nothing to do with my subordinates. But you reprimanded my subordinates for no reason. Although you apologized, you are not welcome in Zhan Shifu. Please come less in the future."
