Chapter 922 I don't know if he heard it

Originally, under the pressure of Xu Jie, those people were all anxious, and the timid people were shaking their legs. When Luo Xin came in, they immediately felt as if they had a backbone. When Luo Xin said this, they almost laughed out loud, their faces were red and their shoulders were shaking.

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

"Oh! It turns out that the Master asked them to stay, so let's keep it." He bowed to Xu Jie and said:

"The official has met Mr. Xu."

"Hmph!" Xu Jie snorted coldly, "Luo Xin, I ask you, why haven't you been in the yamen?"

Luo Xin walked to a chair and sat down, and said lightly: "Didn't Mr. Xu sit in the yamen?"

"You..." Xu Jie's chest was fluctuating violently. There were rules in the officialdom. Luo Xin's position was much lower than Xu Jie. This was the confidence that Xu Jie had the courage to come and find trouble. In his mind, even if Luo Xin hated him as if he was dead, he would still be scolded honestly. This was the first level of officialdom to crush people to death. Even if Xu Jie humiliated him to the fullest today, he had to endure it.

He wanted to humiliate Luo Xin in public and exclaim his anger, so he did not let Luo Xin's subordinates leave. He wanted to peel off 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 when Luo Xin came in, he quickly acted as if he had a broken-out attitude with him. Not only did he say something, he also sat down on his own and asked himself, wasn't he not sitting in the yamen either?

"Bang!" Xu Jie immediately slapped the table and said, "I heard that someone in the Zhanshi Mansion has lost his duty as an official. He often goes out of the yamen and comes here to patrol."

"Bang!"

Luo Xin slapped the armrest of the chair hard, and the sound was much louder than Xu Jie, which scared Xu Jie to death. He suddenly remembered that Luo Xin was a general, not a simple literati, and had a bad temper. He just smashed the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion. If he beat him up here, his reputation would be ruined. While he was worried, he heard Luo Xin shouting:

"Who of you ran out secretly again? Or who was late again and left early? How many times have I said that since you are wearing an official robe, you must do your best."

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

Luo Xin turned his head and looked at Xu Jie, and said in confusion on his face: "Geither Xu, they said no, who have you caught? Tell the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely punish him."

"Why are you pretending to be confused?" Xu Jie was so angry that he trembled all over: "I am talking about you."

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

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Jie continued to tremble: "I asked you, where did you go today? Why can't you see you in the Zhanshi Mansion?"

"You ask this!" Luo Xin said lightly: "Then just talk well. The officials under my command did not make any mistakes, right? Then why do you scold them? If you have a high official position, you can scold people at will? Do you still have the moral character of Shilin? You must give me an explanation for this matter. If you don't say it and don't apologize, starting today, the Zhanshi Mansion will not welcome you."

"Okay!" Xu Jie calmed down. He felt that he was being led by Luo Xin and could not let Luo Xin continue to be so caressed. He nodded immediately and said:

"I saw you, the left son, don't sit in the yamen today, so I vented my anger against you on them. This is wrong with me. But..."

Xu Jie's eyes suddenly became sharp, locking Luo Xindao like two sharp arrows:

"You give me an explanation!"

"This matter is easy to explain!" Luo Xin said lightly: "In fact, there is no need for you to come at all. Just send someone to ask. Do you know the fact that Juxian Bookstore was smashed?"

Xu Jie's heart skipped. He remembered that the emperor asked Luo Xin to personally build the gate for the King Jing Mansion. If Luo Xin used this as an excuse, he would have nothing to say. However, then he thought that with Luo Xin's identity, he would never be able to go there in person. At most, when he finally installed the gate, he showed his side in front of the King Jing Mansion. There was no possibility of personally measuring the size of the gate for the King Jing Mansion, so he sarcastically said:

"So, are you going to build the gate for Prince Jing's Mansion? I will go and see how far the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion has been built?"

His words mean, Luo Xin, don’t lie, I will verify it later.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xin looked innocent and said, "I'm going to King Jing's Mansion to build the gate? This isn't that fast, right?"

"Aren't you?" Xu Jie said in surprise. He really didn't know what other reasons Luo Xin had besides this.

"Of course not!"

Seeing Luo Xin denying it with confidence, Xu Jie suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Then what have you done?"

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

Xu Jie's eyes narrowed and he didn't say anything. Luo Xin didn't wait for him to speak. The corners of his mouth bent, and a sneer full of murderous intent appeared:

"The Heilong Gang smashed my bookstore, and I smashed his hall, but just ran away from Cao Tian. However, Cao Tian was too naive and didn't dare to escape from a distance. Instead, he was still hiding near the capital. My people discovered that I was going to catch him today."

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

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Luo Xin's mouth: "I didn't catch it."

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

"but……"

Luo Xin stopped the voice, and his starry eyes looked at Xu Jie. The two people's eyes collided in the air. Xu Jie's eyes were deep and silent. The two people had been in a stalemate for about five breaths, and Luo Xin smiled faintly:

"I shouted to his back and told him that if he was willing to go behind his back and instruct his family to commit suicide, before committing suicide, he pointed at the door and shouted that the family was behind the back, and afterwards, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and chased him to silence him. I would spare his family, otherwise I would destroy Cao Tian's family."

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

A hint of irritability and uneasiness appeared in Xu Jie's heart, and he said with a gloomy face: "It is understandable that you are not in the yamen today, so I will not be an example."

After saying that, he got up, swayed his sleeves, and walked towards the door with great strides. Luo Xin's faint voice came from behind:

"Mr. Xu, even if I don't sit in the yamen today, it has nothing to do with my subordinates. But you scolded my subordinates for no reason. Although you apologized, the Zhanshi Mansion will not welcome you, so please come less in the future."
