Old man Luo Min, you are finally back, if it is later, your house may be demolished. This old fox likes to play mysterious games every time. Lin Wanrong wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought.
"Get out of the way—" Gao Shou walked in front, shouted loudly, and kicked away a soldier standing in front of him. He is a guard with a knife in front of the imperial court, and the people around the emperor can walk sideways. If he blocks his way, he will seek death himself.
Although there were many soldiers brought by Cheng De, none of them could compare with those guards with knives whose eyes were above the top.
Gao Shou was surrounded by palace guards, never feared who would come, a group of people were aggressive, walking like dragons and tigers, and protected Luo Min to the front of the mansion with a few steps.
With a big belly, Luo Min looked at Cheng Deyin and said, "Master Cheng, you put on your armor and armor, raised your swords and guns, and led your troops to surround my house. What is your intention?"
Seeing that Luo Min had come back, Cheng De stood up from the chair in a hurry, clasped his fists and said, "I want to report to Lord Shouxian that I have an urgent business to ask for an audience, so I left in a hurry and forgot to remove the armor. I hope you will forgive me." .”
"Excuse me?" Luo Min said angrily, "I am the governor of Jiangsu, the head of a province appointed by the emperor himself, in charge of many major military and political affairs in Jiangsu. You are the commander of the capital of Jiangsu, and you are under the jurisdiction of the rear. Under the restraint of this official, you are not allowed to mobilize troops and horses without permission. Now, as a subordinate, you are ordered not to do so, but you lead your soldiers and horses to surround the governor's office with open swords and guns. The people of Jiangsu can see it clearly. Baiguan can see it. Can you explain it by saying that you left in a hurry? Where do you put the governor, where do you put Jiangsu Baiguan, and where do you put the emperor?"
When Luo Min was angry, his voice was loud and full of power. As a provincial official, he did not pretend to be imposing. Cheng De's soldiers couldn't help showing a little timidity when they saw him so majestic. .
Luo Min's words were righteous, but inside they were full of knowledge. Lin Wanrong laughed out loud when he heard that, you old fox, you can do a good show, pretending to be so angry on purpose, to dispel the suspicion of Cheng De and others.
"Where is the high head?" Luo Min shouted loudly.
"The subordinate is here!" Gao Shou stepped forward and replied.
"Let you take the servants in front of my mansion, and hand over all the weapons and weapons of this group of people and horses into the warehouse, and return the horses to the trough. I will report to the emperor before I deal with it." Luo Min ordered loudly, and he was going to take it with his head high. People, go and disarm these hundreds of soldiers.
Seeing that Luo Min was so angry, Cheng De felt more at ease, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Excellency, please calm down, I really have an urgent military situation, please forgive me."
Luo Min snorted and said: "The rules are the rules. No matter how many reasons you have, you can't act recklessly. If you don't deal with it today, what face will the government have to face the officials of Jiangsu? What prestige is there? Why don't you hurry up and do it?"
"Deling!" Gao Shou yelled, leading dozens of brothers under his command to act together. They are all palace guards. He is the person next to the emperor, and he is the real teacher of tigers and wolves. He has never been afraid of anyone. The soldiers of Cheng De's infantry battalion and cavalry battalion saw that they were approaching menacingly, and they raised their swords and guns and wanted to confront them. The high-ranking people ignored them and went up and kicked them. Those soldiers screamed a few times, Cheng De Hastily turning around and winking, no one dared to resist anymore.
"Ding Ding" and "Dang Dang", the sound of knives and guns hitting the ground came one after another, Luo Min's face was still gloomy, and he seemed really angry. Surrounding the mansion with people led by subordinates, this is a disturbance that has never happened in any province, if it spreads to the ears of colleagues in other provinces, it will be shameful.
Cheng De took a peek at Luo Min's face and saw that his fists were clenched tightly and his face was ashen. This time, the governor really got angry.
Luo Min was so concerned about gains and losses for a while, Cheng De felt a lot more relaxed. Seeing that all the soldiers and horses under his command had lost their knives and guns, Luo Min clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, the Governor. The military situation is too urgent today. The officer will be so lost."
Luo Min snorted and said: "Master Cheng, today's matter, the government will report the facts to the Ministry of War and the Emperor, and wait for their decision. If you have any military affairs right now, please report them quickly."
Luo Min was obviously in a hurry, even the gate of the house refused to let Cheng De in, and asked him to report on the spot. Cheng De and Luo Min have been fighting for many years, seeing that he is still going up and playing in the same old way this time, he doesn't care much in his heart, he clasped his fists and said: "My subordinates have received news that there will be some changes in the White Lotus Cultists who are entrenched in Jining in the near future. It is very likely that they will enter Jiangsu Province. The White Lotus Sect harassed the people of Jiangsu last time, and the people complained and had a great impact. This time, when the subordinates received the news, they did not dare to neglect it at all, so they came here starry night to discuss countermeasures with the Governor. "
Luo Min's complexion improved slightly, and he frowned and said, "Bai Lian has changed again? This is strange. The cold winter is approaching now, every year at this time, the Bai Lian monsters will curl up in the bandit's nest to recuperate, why do they want to go out this year? Master Cheng, Is your information accurate?"
Cheng De nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, it's the information I got personally. According to my subordinates' estimates, it's because they don't have enough food and grass to survive in the cold winter, so they want to enter Jiangsu again to take some money and food."
Luo Min hummed and said, "In your opinion, how should we guard against it?"
Cheng De had already said something, and he clasped his fists and said, "From my subordinate's point of view, it's better for my lord and my subordinates to report to the court at the same time, explain the situation here, and obtain the order from the Ministry of War to transfer most of the infantry and cavalry battalions to Shandong and At the junction of Jiangsu, guard against death to prevent the Bailian gangsters from entering our Jiangsu territory."
When Cheng De said this, Lin Wanrong understood that this was another temptation. On the surface, the soldiers from Jiangsu were transferred to the junction of Gonglu to prevent Bailian from fleeing into Jiangsu, but in fact they deliberately blocked the way to exterminate Bailian. If Luo Min disagrees with Cheng De's move, it will only arouse the heightened vigilance of the White Lotus Sect and the masters behind them, making it more difficult to eliminate them. If he agreed, Cheng De would just use a pole to climb up and block the junction of Jiangsu and Shandong. Even if the Bailian bandits pretended to be officials and hid themselves in Cheng De's army, no one would be able to find out. This is really a good plan. Cheng De probably smelled something, so he tried Luo Min again and again.
Luo Min pondered for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. If that's the case, the Japanese officials will write up the paper tomorrow, and submit it to the Ministry of War and the Emperor together with your paper. It won't be too late to transfer troops when the rear sends an order. "
Luo Min promised so readily, which surprised Cheng Dehao. He is also a person who can't show his emotions, and he respectfully said: "Thank you, sir. It's not early today. I will take my leave first. Tomorrow, I will take my leave." Send the instructions for dispatching troops to your lord's office."
Cheng De is also straightforward, come and leave as soon as he says. The swords, guns and horses thrown on the ground were all gone, and a group of bare-handed soldiers and horses returned to the infantry camp.
Luo Yuan went up to meet him and said: "Father, you are back. If it is a little later, our house will be demolished by Cheng."
Luo Min patted Luo Yuan's shoulder, nodded and said: "Yuan'er, you just answered Cheng De with reason and restraint, very good, father is very pleased." Luo Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Lin taught me this. Yes. He said, what to say, what to say, if you can’t beat him, you have to frighten him.”
Luo Min laughed: "Mr. Lin is absolutely right. Yuan'er, you really followed the right person."
Lin Wanrong came out of the courtyard, cupped his fists and said modestly: "Your Excellency, this is just a matter of effort."
When Luo Min saw him, she was startled, then bowed deeply and said: "It turns out that Mr. Lin is also here, and the old Xie Xie sent a message about this virtue."
Damn, you old Luo, what are you doing with such a big gift if you have nothing to do? Isn't this cutting my life? He hurriedly helped Luo Min up, and said with a smile: "Master Luo, what are you doing, aren't you still well at noon?"
Luo Min sighed and said: "As a father, I have really neglected my duty to the extreme. Ning'er is sick like that, but I don't know it at all. If the son hadn't asked Prime Minister Gao to sue, I would still be in the dark." Drum."
"You came back to visit Miss Luo?" Lin Wanrong was a little surprised. According to Gao Shou's judgment, this old Luo was obviously not someone who abandoned state affairs for family affairs. Why did he change his temper
"I'm ashamed to say it." Luo Min said softly: "Mr. Wen Chang sent a letter with a pigeon, saying that there was a change in Cheng De's soldiers and horses. This person surnamed Cheng is going too far."
Lin Wanrong nodded, and I scolded, so you didn't come here just to see your daughter, after all, it's still business, Ning'er is a bit pitiful, do you want me to love her
"Don't worry, my lord. I just visited Miss Luo. Her fever has subsided and her health is getting better. She even ate some lotus seed porridge. Looking at her spirit, I'm afraid she will recover in two days." Lin Wanrong extended Lao Luo's heart road.
Luo Min's expression darkened, and she said to herself: "Ning'er, this girl, has been very strong since she was a child. I have been busy with official duties, so I haven't taken good care of her these years." He sighed softly: "This time, I'm afraid I will wrong her again."
Lin Wanrong didn't understand the meaning of his words, Luo Min smiled wryly and shook her head, apologizing, and hurriedly went to visit Luo Ning.
Thinking of that girl Luo Ning, Lin Wanrong also sighed in his heart. He already has several wives now, besides Qiaoqiao, Yushuang, and Qingxuan, there is also Qin Xian'er as a backup. This talented girl from Luo was born in a famous family and is also a famous social activist. She has ideals, pursuits, and is passionate about charity. She is not easy to serve. If he really married her and went through the family, it would cost him a lot of wronged money just to support this talented Luo girl. But this girl's figure is really good, she can compete with Qingxuan, and it's very refreshing to touch her a few times. Although her personality is a bit arrogant, can't I conquer her with the charm of a man? Lao Tzu lacks everything except charm. Lin Wanrong smiled, and training a talented Luo is a very challenging job.
He went back to Xiao's house thinking wildly, but saw Xiao Feng wandering anxiously at the door, seeing him coming back, his face was overjoyed, he rushed forward and shouted urgently: "Brother Lin, something is wrong, we're fighting, we're fighting— "
