Songjiang City, Xu Mansion.

In this era, the strongest way to create wealth is never production and operation, but to hold the power of life and death. Once someone is more powerful, wealth often comes.

The Xu family is a family of officials. Since the Xu Jiezhong got Tanhualang, the Xu family has experienced more than 40 years of glory and has achieved prosperity in the past decade, but it is the well-deserved first in Songjiang and even Nanzhili.

Located on the edge of Kuantang Bridge, Xu Mansion has the most luxurious building complex. The sorghum gate highlights the status and power of Xu Mansion. All the people passing here are afraid.

As night fell quietly, the house highlighted the lights, making it like daytime.

Several dressed women entered through the back door in a sedan chair, and under the guidance of a manager, they came to a warm pavilion.

The charcoal fire in the pavilion has been ignited. Unlike the ice and snow outside, it is as warm as spring, and the dining table in the center is even more delicious.

Sitting in the first seat was the tall Xu Fan. After returning from the capital, he also enjoyed fun every day. After losing the possibility of pursuing power, he also devoted himself to a wealthy man and took over many affairs at home.

It was just chatting with the guests that he looked up at the women coming in and shouted, "You guys are here at the right time, come and serve the distinguished guests!" As he said, he said to the guest on the left, "Brother Ruoyu

Although they are all vulgar rouge powder, they are pillars invited from the most famous Jinfeng Tower in Songjiang. This is my third brother’s proposal. I just think it is to help us liven up. Please don’t be surprised!”

The young man called Brother Ruoyu is not tall, but looks tall and looks good. There is a mole under his jaw. It is already the governor of Yingtian, Lin Run, with a faint smile on his face and said, "As for the guests!"

Xu Ying was accompanying the table, but among the three brothers, Xu Ying and Xu Jie had the most similar body and appearance, and he was also the most favored by the three sons of the Xu family.

Xu Ying first pursed her lips and smiled slightly at Lin Run, then she shook the plump woman with silence.

The woman immediately rushed in front of others and came directly beside Lin Run and said in a sweet voice: "This master, my name is Xiaofeng, I will accompany you tonight... Is it good to drink?"

This sound is crisp and soft, and it also contains another obscure meaning.

Lin Run reached out from the sight of the two brothers and touched Xiao Cui's buttocks, and smiled on her face and said, "Okay, then you will be with me tonight!"

"Okay, I will accompany you tonight!" Xiao Cui felt the dishonest hand on her arm, but she deliberately responded with a resentful look.

Xu Fan could not notice Lin Run's little movements at all, and was looking at the beautiful woman sitting over lustfully.

Although Xu Ying also had a woman sitting beside her, she was still vaguely capturing Lin Run's small movements, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Unlike himself, his stupid brother, he knew that Lin Run looked like a hypocritical gentleman on the surface, but when he was in Nanjing, he began to mingle in the place of love and mist, and had long been swallowed up by the corrupt life in Nanjing.

He even found a gossip that didn't know the truth or the false, which was Lin Run obsessed with this and once looked for medical treatment for his life.

Of course, this is not a big deal. After all, there are countless officials who are good at this. Now I call a few brothel women to accompany me to meet them.

When Xu Fan came back, he was like a head of the family. After taking a sip of wine, he spoke: "Brother Ruoyu, I heard that you cut more than twenty heads last month. Is this true?"

Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to Lin Run, was shocked immediately. She never expected that this seemingly gentle young man was so terrifying.

Lin Run seemed to enjoy Xiaofeng's fearful gaze, and said calmly: "Yes, those are the main criminals of the court that I punished earlier. This time, it was just a prisoner in the autumn after the death penalty!"

In order to find out Lin Yanran's evidence of his crime, after he took office in Suzhou, he carried out a major purge on Suzhou merchants through two major crimes: "Teach the Japanese" and "intentional misconduct".

It was under his iron fist that many Suzhou merchants were sentenced to death. He was punished with the corresponding charges and first seized the property, but now they were executed as usual.

However, he has done too much of this offensive job, so he is not afraid to go to the brothels in Suzhou again, and he doesn't even dare to make an appointment with his old lover, which makes him quite regretful.

"Since ancient times, we have been scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. We should really let those merchants wake up and dare to ignore the laws of the court. In order to seek commercial profits, they dared to build a self-defense force. This time, they killed very well, which was quite similar to Zhu, the governor of Zhejiang, back then.

The style of silk!" Xu Ying stopped the woman next to her from feeding wine, but gave Lin Run a thumbs up.

Although Lin Run knew that the "Workshop Guards" had just passed the law to punish Suzhou merchants, when he heard Xu Ying praise him, he responded with a smile: "Young Master Xu San is so miserable!"

"Brother Ruoyu, this killing is the one that kills you, but you must not forget my father's expectations!" Xu Fan did not like Lin Run and Xu Ying's harmonious appearance, but immediately reminded him.

this……

Xu Ying frowned slightly, and turned her head to look at her stupid brother in surprise.

Lin Run is no longer the small censor in Nanjing, but Governor Ying Tian, ​​who controls the management and military and political power of the ten prefectures of Nanzhili, and is also the largest protective umbrella for their Xu family in the local area.

Although it is true that my father promoted Lin Run, you, Xu Fan, are just Shaoqing of Taichang Temple who has returned home. How can you still look arrogant?

As soon as he thought about this, he knew that his stupid brother was going to annoy Lin Run, and he looked calm and winked at Xiaofeng opposite him.

Xiaofeng is a very smart woman, and she has long known to observe her face when she is in the brothel, but she immediately picked up the wine glass and sent it to Lin Run and said softly: "Master, you drink!"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Lin Run's eyes. Just when she saw the wine glass that Xiaofeng brought to her mouth, she naturally drank the wine, as if she could extinguish the anger in her chest.

After a small pause, the atmosphere was eased. Lin Run responded without being humble and arrogant: "Xu Shaoqing, I will do the things that Lord Yuan Fu told me seriously!"

In fact, he also wanted to complete Xu Jie's mission as soon as possible. He only found out how deep the water of the United Merchant Group was when he arrived in Suzhou. Like the Suzhou United Money Bank, almost all the leading gentry in Suzhou City.

"It's so good, I will definitely write a letter to my father truthfully!" Xu Fan felt good about himself and deliberately moved out his father proudly.

Xu Ying didn't want the atmosphere at the table to be too rigid, so she immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "Governor, when I was in the capital, my father mentioned you many times, saying that you have courage and strategy, and that you are the true hero of the Ming Dynasty. I

I'll give you a cup!"

"Haha... I heard from Lord Yuanfu that you are the most similar to him!" Lin Run was secretly happy in his heart and responded gently to Xu Ying.

Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to him, realized that this handsome young man was Lin Run, the governor of Yingtian, and the one who destroyed Yan Song's family.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Xu Fan thought that the time was ripe, so he gave a wink to his confidant next to him, but saw his confidant put an exquisite box in front of Lin Run.

Seeing this, Lin Run seemed to ask clearly: "Xu Shaoqing, what do you mean?"

"Hai Rui has always been a big concern for my Xu family. Now I want to try to execute the bad guy book, so please ask Brother Ruoyu to submit a memorial! This contains the ten major crimes I have collected about Hai Rui recently. When the matter is done,

My Xu family must have another kind thanks! Xu Fan looked at Lin Run's eyes and begged sincerely.

Since he returned to his hometown in Songjiang, although Hai Rui has always been very responsible, he does not intend to give Hai Rui a chance, but hopes to send Hai Rui away.

That's why Lin Run was invited to give Hai Rui a fatal blow to Lin Run, known as the Iron Censor.

Xu Ying didn't expect that his stupid brother would make this request at this time, and he didn't expect that he would be so straightforward, and he couldn't help looking at Lin Run curiously.

Lin Run gave a wink to the entourage behind him. The entourage immediately picked up the exquisite wooden box, and Lin Run raised his wine glass and said, "Let's drink!"

Be accomplished?

Xu Ying was shocked when she saw Lin Run's reaction. Although he knew that Lin Run was not clean, he did not expect Lin Run to accept the bribe, nor did he expect Lin Xu Ran to be so clean and neat.

"Damn!" Xu Fan's reaction to Lin Run was taken for granted, and he raised his glass of wine proudly and responded.

Xu Ying then raised her wine glass and observed Lin Run, and soon had an answer in her heart.

Lin Run did not take the money in the wooden box from beginning to end and took it directly. It was not because of the property that touched Lin Run, but because of this intersection, Lin Run got closer to their Xu family.

Another point is that Lin Run had already been in office as Governor Yingtian for some time. Not only did he not make any progress, he was impeached by the Suzhou prefect Lei Changjiang and others. He was already planning to show his "loyalty" by doing something for their Xu family.

.

It was at this moment that a servant hurriedly pushed the door and came in to report: "Young Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

"What are you calling me? I'm going to have a son when the sky falls!" Xu Fan immediately scolded dissatisfied when he saw the servant who broke in.

Lin Run also refused Xiao Feng's food, and looked at Xu Fan in surprise, thinking that he would say that Lin Run was here without anyone being afraid of him.

But he was quite surprised, but he didn't know what a great thing happened, which made this slave so panic.

"Xu Fu, what happened?" Xu Ying knew Xu Fu's temperament and immediately asked anxiously.

Xu Fu swallowed and spitted, and then he reported seriously: "Hai Rui brought a large group of officials to the door and said he was going to come to our mansion to get people!"

"He Hai Rui said that Xiong Xin was brave? He actually dared to come to my Xu family to get someone?" When Xu Fan heard that it was Hai Rui coming to the door, he gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"What's the matter afraid of me!" Hai Rui broke in and said coldly to Xu Fan, who was making a fuss.

Xu Fan watched Hai Rui break in from outside, and immediately said, "Hai Gangfeng, what do you mean?"

"Zhang Daniu sued the Xu family to seize the land and burn the house. I will come here to lock people!" Hai Rui looked at Xu Fan's angry gaze and said for granted.

Although Xu Fan knew about this, he never expected that Hai Rui would lock people up without any evidence, but threatened: "My Xu family is a family of scholars, how could he do such a shameless thing! Hai

Gangfeng, I know that you have always favored troublemakers, but don’t think that my Xu family is easy to bully. Be careful that the black hat on your head is not guaranteed!”

"Is this matter framed by Zhang Daniu or it is true? I have made a decision!" Hai Rui naturally did not take the threat seriously, and it seemed to be official and authentic.

Seeing Hai Rui not getting in, Lin Run said lightly: "Master Hai, there is no evidence or physical evidence in this matter. Is your move too hasty?"

"Who are you?" Hai Rui vaguely seemed to have an unusual identity, so he asked.

Huh?

Xu Ying was slightly stunned at first, but soon realized.

Hai Rui climbed up from Nanping, Fujian, Nanping, Fujian, and soon arrived in the capital, and went directly to the Ministry of Justice. Now he was directly sent to Songjiang to serve as the prefect, but he had no connection with Lin Run.

Lin Run responded arrogantly in the face of Hai Rui's inquiry: "This official is Lin Run, the right assistant censor of the Censorate, and the Prime Minister's Grain Storage Admiral Military Affairs and Governor Ying Tian and other prefectures."

"The lower-ranking official, the governor of Songjiang, Hai Rui, has met Governor Lin!" Hai Rui learned that the other party was Governor Yingtian, and he also politely said.

Although both of them are official fourth-rank officials, Lin Run is a Beijing official, while Hai Rui is a local official. In terms of specific government affairs, Lin Run has the right to interfere in the matters of Songjiang Prefecture.

That's right, the two of them are not on par, but Lin Run wants Gao Hairui to be a big part, not to mention that Lin Run is a real Jinshi official.

Lin Run looked down on Hai Rui, who was born in a juren, so he raised the dignity of Governor Yingtian and said, "Prince Hai, you should not take anyone at will without evidence in this case. Moreover, this is Mr. Xu's house, please go back.

Bar!"

Xu Fan was so right to invite Lin Run, and he couldn't help but look at Hai Rui gloatingly.

"Governor Lin, the official in this case has taken over, but he doesn't care who is involved! As for whether it is wronged, you can tell this question!" Hai Rui faced Lin Run's order to expel guests, but he refused to give in.

.

Lin Run didn't expect Hai Rui to be so ignorant, so he raised his face and said, "Master Hai, do you really not sell the face of your official, and don't sell the face of Mr. Xu?"

"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. I, Hai Rui, never sell anyone's face!" Hai Rui replied very hard, and then looked at Xu Ying, who had not hummed and said, "Young Master Xu San, you are with me,

Let me go back to the government office!”

I?

Xu Ying pointed at the bridge of her nose and looked unbelievable.

ah?
Chapter completed!
