Chapter 919 Xu Shixing's Hesitation
When Luo Xin came back from Hangzhou, Xu Shixing hadn't been there either, which was to make it clear that Xu Shixing and Luo Xin were no longer the same.

but……

What is he doing here suddenly today?
Could it be that Xu Jie sent him here to make a deal with him?
its not right!
If Xu Jie wanted to make a deal with him, it shouldn't be Xu Shixing, but Xu Luqing or Zhang Juzheng!No matter what the turn, it's not Xu Shixing's turn!Although Xu Shixing was talented, he was nothing in Xu Jie's eyes.

Luo Xin came to the outside of the flower hall with a confused mood, put away his thoughtful expression, showed a kind smile on his face, stepped into the flower hall and said:

"Brother Xu is a rare visitor!"

Xu Shixing's face turned red, thinking that he had been in constant contact with Luo Xin back then, and lived in Luo Xin's house from time to time.Later, seeing Luo Xin lose power, he defected to Xu Jie.He regrets a little now, even if he defected to Gao Gong back then, he was not as embarrassed as he is now.Because Luo Xin and Gao Gong have no personal enmity, but they have a personal enmity with Xu Jie.At the beginning, I also felt that Gao Gong couldn't beat Xu Jie, so I went to Xu Jie.

In fact, Xu Shixing's choice at the beginning was not wrong. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Now that Xu Shixing has decided to leave Luo Xin, he has to choose a stronger one.Undoubtedly, in his heart, Xu Jie is stronger than Gao Gong. On the one hand, Xu Jie is the chief assistant of the cabinet, which is a natural advantage. , how could Gao Gong be Xu Jie's opponent?

However, facing Luo Xin now is a bit embarrassing.

Standing up from the chair, he cupped his hands towards Luo Xin and said, "No, I'm ashamed."

Luo Xin waved his hand, and instead of asking Xu Shixing why he came here, he asked first, "Brother Xu, you've just been on duty not long ago, haven't you eaten yet?"

Xu Shixing's face became even more embarrassed. He didn't eat, but he was too embarrassed to say.If it was during the time when he and Luo Xin were inseparable, he would have shouted that he hadn't eaten yet.Seeing Xu Shixing's appearance, Luo Xin knew that he hadn't eaten, so he said:
"Let's go. At this time, the food is already ready, but I don't know that Brother Xu is coming, so it should be simpler."

In fact, Luo Xin and Gao Gong had just finished eating, but with Gao Gong, they were only half full after eating. At this time, they happened to have another meal with Xu Shixing.

"No, I..."

Luo Xin took Xu Shixing's hand, walked outside, and said:
"It's not like you haven't eaten here before, why are you being polite. Let's go, let's talk while walking. Wait for a time and call Hao De and the others over. We haven't been together for a long time."

A trace of shame appeared on Xu Shixing's face. Following Luo Xin to the dining hall, the servants had already arranged the food and wine. There were only four dishes and one soup, but they were all very delicate.Luo Xin picked up the jug, poured it for himself and Xu Shixing, then picked up the wine glass and said:

"Brother Xu, please!"

"No, please!"

The two touched each other and drank it down.Putting down their wine glasses and having two mouthfuls of food each, Luo Xin began to lead the conversation, chatting casually, but never asked Xu Shixing what he was doing here.Two quarters of an hour passed like this, Xu Shixing finally couldn't sit still, and had another drink with Luo Xin. After drinking, he put down the glass and looked at Luo Xin.Luo Xin also looked at Xu Shixing with a smile.

"No weapon!"

There was a trace of pain on Xu Shixing's face, which made Luo Xin's heart skip a beat. He would not be surprised by Xu Shixing's expression, but pain...

What does he mean?
"I just want to ask you a few truths today. No matter what the result is, I will keep my mouth shut and I will never reveal a word. I just hope you can answer me with the truth."

Luo Xin's expression became serious. Although he didn't know what Xu Shixing was going to ask him, he could feel Xu Shixing's pain and sincerity, so he nodded.

"Have you really chased after Cao Tian?"

"En!" Luo Xin nodded, but he didn't know why Xu Shixing asked this question.

"You really yelled those words to Cao Tian's back?"

"What did you say?"

"If he is willing to commit suicide at the gate of the family who instructed him behind the scenes, and before committing suicide, he points to the gate of the family and shouts that it is the family who ordered him behind the scenes, and after the incident, he will hunt down him to silence him for fear that the matter will be revealed. I will spare his family Brother, otherwise I will destroy Cao Tianman's clan."

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head honestly, and then asked, "How do you know about this?"

Xu Shixing said with a wry smile: "Now it's spread all over the capital."

Thoughtful eyes appeared in Luo Xin's eyes and he said, "Did Xu Jie ask you to investigate?"

"No!" Xu Shixing shook his head, blushing on his face and said, "No, I know that you and Haode have opinions on me in their hearts. I defected to Xu Jie, but that was also to display my ambition in my heart. It's not Xu Jie's lackey who can do anything."

Luo Xin nodded and said: "I believe, you can ask anything else, I promise that as long as I can say it, I will definitely say it, and everything is the truth. If I can't say it, I won't say it. Because I don't want to lie to you."

A look of gratitude appeared on Xu Shixing's face, and he said, "No, then I'll be rude."

"Excuse me!"

"So, have you ever seen Cao Tian, ​​what happened in Zhan Shi's mansion today was intended to embarrass Mr. Xu Ge?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I have already captured Cao Tian."

"Caught it? Where is he?"

"Kill it!" Luo Xin said lightly.

"Killed? How could he be killed?" Xu Shixing said anxiously.

The corner of Luo Xin's mouth revealed a trace of sarcasm: "If I don't kill him, what else can I do?"

"You can find out the instigator behind it..."

Xu Shixing's expression froze suddenly, and then his face gradually turned gray.Luo Xin sneered and said:

"The person behind the scenes? No one will believe it. How can a scholarly leader, who is in the cabinet, have any connection with Jianghu gangs? And who ordered the smashing of Juxian Bookstore? Speaking out will make Shilin think that I am Luo Xin He is doing whatever it takes to pour dirty water on him for personal enmity."

Xu Shixing's fingers on his knees began to tremble: "Is it really... old Xu Ge?"

Luo Xin nodded speechlessly, and Xu Shixing slumped on the chair as if he had lost his bones.Looking at his decadent expression, Luo Xin understood Xu Shixing in his heart.

Xu Shixing was still a young man with ideals and aspirations, and he still wanted to revive Daming.Before abandoning him, Luo Xin, and defecting to Xu Jie, it was also for the rejuvenation of Daming.However, now that he learned that Xu Jie had done such a nasty thing, he was greatly disappointed, and even felt a sense of humiliation.

How could a scholarly leader do such a thing?

With such a person who has no bottom line, how can he rejuvenate Daming?
