Don’t Show the Son

Today's Duke Zhao's Mansion is extremely lively.

I don't know how many powerful people lived in Dongcheng. When a dozen or so men from the Xue family attacked the Zhao family aggressively, many people saw it and went out to watch.

Some who were embarrassed to go out due to their status also sent their servants out to inquire about the news.

The gate of Zhao Mansion has been knocked down, and the sound of cursing can be heard from time to time.

"Zhao, what do you mean!"

"Is there no one in the Xue family who bullies me?"

"It's not over today!"

...

After listening to the meeting in front of the Zhao Mansion, everyone understood what had happened.

It turned out that it was a gangster of the Zhao family who did not know how to live and die, and molested the granddaughter of Old Master Xue in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xue family had only that daughter. Demolished.

In this matter, the Zhao family said they were wronged and they were wronged, and they said they were not wronged.

Although the former Xue family and Zhao family had similar status, even the Zhao family was slightly better, because the Xue family had no successors, and there were still a few geniuses among the young children of the Zhao family.

But what is the status of the Xue family now, they are the second-class princes in the court, and there are powerful people in the family, and they dare not offend the Xue family with the ten courage of the Zhao family.

But that person's identity is indeed a collateral branch of the Zhao family, and it is not too much for the Xue family to come to settle accounts with them.

Facing the unreasonable members of the Xue family, the Patriarch of the Zhao family came forward in person, apologized humbly, offered a heavy gift, and asked the Xue family for forgiveness, finally calming down the matter.

And in his heart, he had already scolded that fellow clan as a sieve.

The Patriarch of the Huang family felt inexplicably relieved when he learned that the members of the Zhao family had also offended Lin Xiu, and that the official position of the Zhao family's collateral line was seized and the family property was confiscated.

The Huang family was a little unlucky, at least, someone was with them.

But the other powerful families all adopt the attitude of watching the excitement, and they have nothing to do with themselves, and don't watch it for nothing if there is excitement.

However, the matter of Huang's and Zhao's families reminded them.

Jiangnan is a piece of fat. Their family has more or less property in Jiangnan, either to support the local forces in Jiangnan, or to take care of it by the branch of the family who moved to the past.

No matter how domineering and lawless these people are on weekdays, they don't bother to care.

But during Lin Xiu's stay in Jiangnan, these people had better restrain themselves.

That person, even in the capital, can be domineering, let alone in Jiangnan, if he accidentally offends him, even they who are far away in the capital will suffer unreasonable disasters.

Therefore, even the top rich families like the Zhang family and the Song family sent people to Jiangnan to warn their vassal forces in Jiangnan not to provoke Lin Xiu.

However, at this time, they still regarded the matter of the Huang family and the Zhao family as a joke, and did not pay enough attention to it.

Most of the people sent to Jiangnan to spread the word were the stewards or servants of the mansion, and it would be a few days before these people arrived in Jiangnan.

The offerings of the upper realms of the earth can reach the south of the Yangtze River from the capital within half a day, but even the Zhang family does not have the luxury to let such a person spread the word, and to drive such a strong person will have to pay a huge price every time .

At this time, a certain county in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Xiuzheng led a group of policemen to ransack the house. Within ten days, this was already the fifth house he ransacked.

These forces supported by the dignitaries of the royal capital in the south of the Yangtze River have no natural enemies in the local area. It may be that the local emperor is used to acting without scruples and lawlessness, so they simply cannot withstand fishing.

Sometimes, there is no need for him to pick things up, and the troubles will come up on their own initiative.

Then, Lin Xiu can reveal her identity and check it out logically.

And their family can't stand the investigation, either they are suspected of major tax evasion, or they oppress the common people on weekdays.

Then Lin Xiu can deal with it according to the law.

He found that he had gradually liked this feeling.

It's fun to be a hero with A Ke, but you can't see the light, you can only be an unsung hero behind the scenes, but now you can arrest people openly and ransack their homes. Worship and praise and eyes, full of sense of accomplishment.

After copying another family, the people couldn't help cheering when they saw him come out.

"My lord is wise!"

"It's time to punish them!"

"It would be great if my lord came to Jiangnan earlier!"

...

The people here have already regarded Lin Xiu as a high-ranking official sent by the imperial court to the south of the Yangtze River to eradicate evil, because in the past few days, several evil forces in various counties in the south of the Yangtze River have been uprooted by him.

He is simply the master of the blue sky in the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the end of the crowd, several figures looked at the young man who was going away with admiration.

A man murmured: "He is Lin Xiu..."

Another person said: "It is rumored that when he was in the capital, he helped the people do a lot of things. He is a rare clear stream among the children of the rich and powerful. I have heard of him a long time ago..."

Another person said: "The rumors are indeed true, it would be great if he was my brother..."

The dignitaries from the royal capital have made a lot of noise in Jiangnan these days, and the people at the helm of the Jiangnan branch of the Tiandao League have also been attracted.

Although they can't understand these families, they can't do anything about it.

The power of these families is very large, and they rely on the big trees of Kyoto. Many families are in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have official backgrounds. The Tiandao League can kill the most vicious people, but it can't bring down an entire family.

And this young man easily did what they couldn't.

In a way, it's their ally, too.

Even in the imperial court, there are people who have the same beliefs as them.

Behind the crowd, a dusty man led a horse, stopped a passerby, and asked, "This old man, how can I get to the Zheng family?"

He just came from the capital, and was ordered by Duke Zheng's mansion to tell a branch of the Zheng family in the south of the Yangtze River to be honest these days and not to provoke anyone who shouldn't be provoked, especially a person surnamed Lin...

The old man asked: "The Zheng family, which Zheng family?"

The man said: "The Zheng family is the largest in Huaiyuan County."

The old man shook his head and said, "Then you are late, the Zheng family is gone..."

The man froze for a moment, and murmured: "No, no more..."

king capital.

The Zhang family, a middle-aged man couldn't believe it, looked at a man covered in dust and asked, "What did you say?"

The Song family, the Patriarch of the Song family looked at the urgent letter in his hand, and he couldn't believe it.

The Zheng family, the Wei family, the Qi family...

Following urgent letters, they were sent to the various high schools in the royal capital. Not long ago, the dignitaries who were still watching the jokes of the Huang family and the Zhao family began to feel a little restless.

In the past two days, they have received urgent letters from Jiangnan one after another, and the forces they have fostered in Jiangnan have been uprooted.

Without exception, these people had conflicts with Lin Xiu.

They finally realized that something was wrong.

One family is a coincidence, two families are a coincidence, and three families and four families cannot be a coincidence.

On the eve of the big competition, Lin Xiu somehow went to the south of the Yangtze River for no apparent reason. He also tried to eradicate the forces they had cultivated with great difficulty. They would not believe that there was no one behind the scenes.

But why did he do this?

What good would it do him?

The Lin family has no property in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no conflict of interest with them. He is full of food, and he is against so many dignitaries in the capital?

Soon, they figured out the reason.

This matter is not good for Lin Xiu, but it is for another person.

All the properties that Lin Xiu obtained from ransacking Jiangnan's home were brought into the national treasury. In the past few days, the buildings sailing from the capital to Jiangnan came one after another, and the vacated official positions in various counties in Jiangnan were also in the first place. The time has been arranged.

Lin Xiu and them did not take advantage of the Jiangnan incident, but His Majesty made a lot of money.

The imperial court has always coveted Jiangnan's interests, and the major families are well aware of this matter, but this is the first time he has seen him use such drastic means.

In the imperial palace, good news came one after another. Emperor Xia has been numb from the surprise at the beginning.

He's starting to worry about one thing now.

Those dignitaries wouldn't think that what Lin Xiu did was ordered by him behind his back, right?

This time it's really not...

Never!

But if you think about it in your shoes, if he was a rich man, he would think so too.

How can there be so many coincidences, the forces supported by the royal capital's dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River are looking for troubles for Lin Xiu one after another. Based on his understanding of Lin Xiu, things may be reversed.

He is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes. He is not used to even the rich and powerful children of the capital. Will he be used to those in Jiangnan?

He likes what Lin Xiu does.

But he has to bear the blame.

Soon, Zhu Jin came to report, and several important officials in the court asked to see him.

In the imperial study room, the important officials representing several powerful families in the capital, first stated Lin Xiu's deeds in Jiangnan, and then secretly asked Emperor Xia whether he should be taken care of. Make a mess.

Embarrassed look appeared on Emperor Xia's face, and he said, "It's very difficult for me to handle this matter. Lin Xiu is my pride in the summer, and it was your people who provoked him first. Acting in accordance with the law, if I accuse him, wouldn't it be chilling for the future pillars of my Great Xia..."

After some discussion, Emperor Xia looked at them and said: "I can let him stop, but you also go back and reflect on what your people have done in Jiangnan these years. If they still don't restrain their behavior, they will provoke you next time." Without him, I can't help you..."

Soon, these conversations in the imperial study room were spread to the residences of the various dignitaries intact.

His Majesty can ask Lin Xiu to stop, but only if they restrain the behavior of those families in Jiangnan.

For the dignitaries of the royal capital, this is not a condition, but a step back.

Restraining those families in Jiangnan is just a matter of order. They used to only care about Jiangnan's business and didn't bother to care about what they did in Jiangnan, but now they don't care. Lin Xiu seems to like going to Jiangnan very much. Someone who is not open-minded provokes him again, which in turn will cause trouble for them...

If someone else did this in Jiangnan and disrupted the layout of so many of their families, they might secretly send a strong man to deal with him quietly.

But that's Lin Xiu.

Who dares to touch him, who can touch him?

With Old Duke Xue's temperament, killing his grandson-in-law would not be easy for any family in the capital.

Even more frightening is Zhao Lingjun.

Lin Xiu is her husband. If anyone makes her a widow, this is an endless hatred. No one wants to offend a nineteen-year-old upper class...

Not to mention, he is also the husband of Fusang's Tianjiao. His two concubines and one sister-in-law also have the aptitude of heaven rank. Even if he does not rely on himself, he can only eat soft food...
