Mingshi

Chapter 918 Olive Branch

"You..." Xu Jie paused, turned his head and waited fiercely for Luo Xin.

"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. I will send it back intact. It's easy to leave, but I won't send it back."

"Luo Xin, I must refer to you for a copy."

Luo Xin drooped his eyelids and said, "That's your job. And I don't care, I only care about that Cao Tian."

The color on Xu Jie's face changed constantly, and finally he flung his sleeves and left.

"My lord, you are this!" Dozens of officials in the hall gave Luo Xin a thumbs up.

Luo Xin stood up, and the old god walked outside on the ground and said, "Let's go, you guys stay here."

The officials behind him looked at Luo Xin's back dumbfoundingly, their eyes revealed a big word of obedience, probably in Daming, even Gao Gong was not so arrogant in front of Xu Jie, right?
However, Xu Jie endured it.Can't help but make everyone feel very strange, whispering one by one.In less than a day, rumors started to spread in the whole capital. What was said at first seemed to be true, but behind the legend was the Black Dragon Gang and the person who encouraged King Jing to smash Juxian Bookstore was Xu Jie. Later, it became Cao Tian was at the gate of Xu Jie and cursed Xu Jie loudly, saying that it was Xu Jie who caused him to smash Juxian Bookstore. Later, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he chased him to silence him, forcing him to commit suicide at the gate of Xu Jie.

Let’s not talk about these things first, let’s talk about Luo Xin just walking out of Zhan Shi’s Mansion, when he saw a small hat in green clothes walking up, cupped his hands towards Luo Xin and said:
"I've seen Mr. Luo."

Luo Xin knew this person, he was Gao Gong's subordinate, so he smiled and nodded towards him, without saying a word.

"My lord, my lord invites you."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Lead the way."

The direction the two of them walked was not the place where Gao Gong was on duty, but they came to Taibai Residence and went up to the second floor. The little hat in Tsing Yi knocked on the door of a box a few times, and heard Gao Gong coming from inside. the sound of:

"Come in!"

Xiaomao in Tsing Yi pushed the door open, and then put on a gesture of invitation, and Luo Xin walked in.Xiaomao in Tsing Yi took a step back, closed the door, and stood outside.

Inside the box.

Luo Xin saluted Gao Gong with a smile, "I have seen Mr. Gao Ge."

"No, come and sit down." Gao Gong smiled and got up and said, "Isn't this my next duty? Last time I bothered you at the Juxian Club, I invite you back today."

"Then why don't you go to Juxian Club?" Luo Xin sat down with a smile.

"It's too expensive!" Gao Gong said bluntly, and then the two laughed loudly.

The two of them talked and chatted. After drinking for three rounds, Gao Gong asked casually:
"I heard that Mr. Xu Ge stayed with you for a long time today?"

"I don't know!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "After I went, he left within a quarter of an hour."

Gao Gong looked up and down Luo Dao suspiciously: "Is it that easy for him to leave?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I told you that Zhan Shifu doesn't welcome him."

"Pfft..." Gao Gong spat out his wine.He coughed twice and said, "You really said that?"

"Of course!" Luo Xin said seriously: "The whole Zhan Shi Mansion is listening, everyone knows."

Gao Gong slammed his mouth and said: "No weapon, it's so stiff, isn't it good?"

"Master Gao, do you think Xu Jie will give up even if I don't want to get stiff? Then again, it's not me who picks things up, it's him who picks things up. I'm passive defense, okay?"

Gao Gong thought about it, and thought it was the same.He was even more shameless towards Xu Jie in his heart.He pondered for a while and said:

"If you need anything, you can ask me, as long as I can help, I will help."

Luo's heart was moved, and Gao Gong extended an olive branch to him.However, this olive branch depends on Gao Gong's intentions?
Do you want to be a Luo Xin alliance, or do you want to recruit Luo Xin?

This gap is too big.

Alliance with Luo Xin, then Gao Gong recognized Luo Xin's current strength and regarded Luo Xin as an equal role to himself.If there is something to do in the future, we will discuss it.

If it's a solicitation, then Luo Xin is Gao Gong's subordinate. When Gao Gong arranges it, you can do it if you want to, and you have to do it if you don't want to.It was as if Xu Jie treated Zhang Shijie.

but……

Of course Luo Xin couldn't ask directly, what do you mean?Do you want everyone to form an alliance, or do you want to recruit me?

So he chuckled twice and said: "If you don't need it in the future, you must discuss it with the old man."

This sentence "discuss" shows Luo Xin's attitude.I can only form an alliance with you, don't think of me as your subordinate.

To Luo Xin's slight surprise, there was no displeasure on Gao Gong's face, but he said with a smile:
"Yes, we should meet more and discuss more."

Gao Gong's words undoubtedly expressed his willingness to treat Luo Xin as an equal, that is, an alliance, not a solicitation.

The smile on Luo Xin's face was somewhat sincere: "Master Gao, you have high morals and high prestige. The younger generation is young and shallow. I am afraid that I will ask you for advice many times in the future. I am afraid that my lord will get bored with me."

Gao Gong couldn't help laughing and said: "No, you and I are not friends for a day or two. When you came back from the grassland and I just entered the cabinet, we have a good relationship. As long as you don't dislike my old man's nagging, You can come to my house at any time, and the two of us will have a long talk."

Luo Xin remembered that when he was able to leave the capital and go to Hangzhou, it was really Gao Gong's advice and help. Although it also had Gao Gong's benefits, but now it seems that he is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.Not only was he promoted to a fourth-rank official, but he also cultivated his own strength, managed Hangzhou as his own back garden, and firmly held the Shibo Department, the financial lifeline of Daming, in his own hands.Moreover, it also took advantage of Hangzhou's geographical advantages to cultivate Taiwan, a maritime power.So, with a look of gratitude on his face, he said:
"I was able to leave the capital, go to Hangzhou, and get rid of the vortex of the capital. I still reminded you, don't forget it. I will definitely visit you someday."

"Good! Good! Good!" Gao Gong was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that Luo Xin was a grateful person, so the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious.

However, the two of them didn't talk about anything related to officialdom, they just talked about learning and poetry.Both of them knew that this was just a good start, and there was no need to rush straight to the point.

After about half an hour, the two separated.Luo Xin returned to the mansion and was informed by Wan Daquan that Xu Shixing was visiting.

"What is he doing?"

Luo Xin couldn't help but frowned slightly, and slowed down his pace.Xu Shixing got along very well with Luo Xin and others for a time. At that time, everyone had a common ideal, and they all wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty.And Xu Shixing also joined the Fuxing Society.However, Xu Jie later suppressed Luo Xin very hard, forcing Luo Xin out of the capital.Xu Shixing gradually drifted away from Luo Xin and others, and finally defected to Xu Jie. Although there was no famous saying, everyone knew that the Fuxing Society and Xu Shixing had no relationship at all, or they broke up.
