Speaking of this, Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "In this way, we can sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Looking at Luo Xin's young face, Xu Shixing didn't know what to say at this time, and sighed that he was still too innocent compared to Luo Xin.

At this time, Lu Daqing had already left. Only Luo Xin and Xu Shixing were left in the room. Xu Shixing thought for a while and said:

"In this way, the five major families will not pay attention to Xu Luqing?"

"He could not see the heads of the five major families."

"How do you know?"

Luo Xin smiled, without saying anything, but he thought to himself: "Do you think my spy agency is a waste of time?"

In fact, on the night when Luo Xin arrived in Hangzhou City, Wang Cuiqiao's subordinates took Luo Xin's message to meet Lu Ding and notified Lu Ding of the plan. Regarding this, Luo Xin naturally would not tell Xu Shixing, but just said lightly:

"Wait, the news will be back in a while."

Sure enough, at nearly noon, Lu Daqing walked in again and said:

"Marty, Xu Luqing visited the five major families one by one, but they were all turned away."

"I understand!" Luo Xin nodded.

Lu Daqing turned around and left again. Xu Shixing looked at Luo Xin and said, "Sir, aren't the five major families really afraid of Xu Jie's revenge?"

"Scared! Why aren't you afraid?" Luo Xin smiled.

"Then they still?"

"That's because they thought they were more afraid of me."

Xu Shixing was stunned, and then the past of Luo Xin's confrontation with the six major families in the southeast was heard. Thinking about Luo Xin's ruthlessness at that time, Xu Shixing felt a little surprised. I'm afraid Luo Xin had already planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of the five major families. In this world, I'm afraid that the five major families today would be afraid of Luo Xin even if they were not afraid of the emperor.

Moreover, Luo Xin did not simply scare the five major families, but could also make money with the five major families. In this way, they naturally tended to Luo Xin and rejected Xu Jie.

"Sir, what do you think Xu Luqing will do next? He is simply unable to organize the supply of goods within two days."

Luo Xin sneered again: "Of course he has a way?"

"What's the solution?"

"Come and beg me!"

"Please?" Xu Shixing opened his mouth wide and said for a long time: "No, right? Xu Luqing turned against you just now. And he will not come here to seek humiliation again, right?"

"He has no choice because I am the only one who can save the Xu family. Moreover, the family tradition of the Xu family is that they are timid and have no strong people. Therefore, he will definitely come back and beg me."

Just as he was talking about this, Lu Daqing walked in and said, "Marty, Xu Luqing is asking for a meeting."

"Come on!" Luo Xin smiled at Xu Shixing with a teasing smile.

Xu Shixing said with admiration on his face: "Adults have rejected him, but the lower official doesn't know why he is coming? Has he come up with some way to get the adults to agree to the time limit?"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This is not what he is asking for."

"What's that? What's more important now than this?"

"He came to ask me to match him and the five major families."

"Ah?" Xu Shixing opened his mouth wide and looked at Luo Xin.

Luo Xin said to Xu Luqing: "Go and invite him in."

"Yes, Marquis!"

Lu Daqing turned around and left excitedly. After a while, he took Xu Luqing from outside. Xu Luqing walked in and looked up and saw Luo Xin who seemed to be smiling. His face turned red. However, under the low eaves, he had to bow his head. He forced himself to endure the shame and anger in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face and said:

"Lu Qing has met Lord Luo."

The last time Xu Luqing came to visit Luo Xin, Luo Xin personally welcomed him out. This time, not only did he not go out to greet him, but he did not even stand up. He did not give up his seat to Xu Luqing, but said lightly:

"Brother Xu is back, I wonder what you can do to teach me?"

Xu Luqing blushed with shame, and wanted to turn around and leave at this moment, and he hated Luo Xin to the extreme. However, at this time, only Luo Xin could save the Xu family. His father was far away in the capital, and the far water could not save the fire. He could only swallow his anger and squeeze out a smile on his face and said:

"Mr. Luo, I have a request."

Luo Xin said lightly: "If it is the previous request, there is no need. I will not be able to plead for the time."

"No, no!" Xu Luqing waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's not that."

"Oh?" Luo Xin was stunned, and then a relieved smile appeared and said, "Please sit down and have tea."

Seeing the changes on Luo Xin's face, Xu Luqing couldn't help but feel trembling. Could it be that this ten-day period was not given by Luo Xin, but determined by His Majesty? Otherwise, why would Luo Xin be afraid to ask him for a few days of gratitude? How could he show a relieved expression?

The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid, and he sat there and became distracted.

Luo Xin sat there and said no longer words. At this time, he took the initiative and naturally would not speak first. In negotiations, whoever speaks first will often be at a disadvantage.

Soon, someone brought the tea, which woke Xu Luqing up from his loss of consciousness. He smiled awkwardly, looked at Luo Xin and lowered his posture and said:

"Sir, in order to complete this transaction, our Xu family has sold a lot of property and prepared enough money."

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded in admiration and said, "This attitude is good, I will report it to Your Majesty as it is."

Luo Xin's tone of supreme made Xu Luqing very unhappy. Don't say that you are just a fourth-rank official, even the first-rank official in the dynasty, you should be polite when you see him, Xu Luqing, and you don't have this supreme appearance.

However, under the eaves, he had to bow his head. Who made him ask for Luo Xin now?

Taking a breath, calming the displeasure in his heart, a smile appeared on his face and said:

"However, it is still difficult for our Xu Mansion to complete this transaction."

"oh!"

Luo Xin was not as angry as Xu Luqing imagined, and even his face did not turn a gloomy, and he still looked faint. This look made Xu Luqing's heart hang up.

What does Luo Xin mean?

This doesn’t care whether the Xu Mansion can complete the transaction!

There is even a possibility, which is that they hope that their Xu Mansion will not complete the transaction, so that they can confiscate the Xu Mansion. Once the house is confiscated, many things will be found. Once the house is confiscated, Emperor Jiajing will not give Xu Jie any more face. In other words, Luo Xin will force Emperor Jiajing to the corner and will not be able to deal with Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's home has been confiscated, how could he still be the chief minister of the cabinet?

Not to mention the chief minister, even ordinary officials should not think about it. It is a lucky thing to retire and return home. Maybe Emperor Jiajing will exile Xu Jie.
