Chapter 332: Selling the Official Mantle (1)
As if hiding from the Black Death, Shi Bin and a group of people passed the thirty-mile shop at the west gate of Lin'an City in less than an hour. Although this kind of intense march made everyone feel uncomfortable, they didn't stand it, and no one couldn't stand it, and no one couldn't open their eyes, and suggested that Shi Bin slow down and not walk so fast.
Because everyone knows that the reason why Shi Bin walked so fast was just to escape from this place where he had caused him to kill too much. How can people be ruthless?
Riding his horse and galloping to Fifty Mile Pu in one go, Shi Bin no longer had the stamina to stop and rest. Now he is tired and hungry, his mind is full of eating and resting, and as for those moral condemnations have long been thrown behind him, people are naturally a lot more relaxed, and when they eat, there is still a smile on their faces that no longer sinks to the bottom of the pot.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served, and a few tired and hungry guys didn't care about the official appearance and hung their legs to eat nonsense. Maybe they were too tired and hungry, Shi Bin and they didn't notice that the five dishes they had ordered had become eight, and they didn't realize that there were three more bowls until they finished eating.
knew that this was someone to entertain, but Shi Bin didn't like this way of inviting guests without his consent, so he immediately ordered Xiao Er to bring the person who invited him to see him.
Not long after, a fat-headed and big-eared man followed Xiao Er over, and Shi Bin asked himself if he had ever seen this meat ball, but he still talked to him out of courtesy.
"The county commander of Ganxian County is not like knocking to see the Sichuan Commander-in-Chief, Jingnan Pacification Envoy, and Yinqing Guanglu Doctor Shi Binshi." Meatball said very solemnly, every move is very regular, obviously from a big family, should have received very strict etiquette training since childhood.
"Excuse me, may I ask Lord Mo if this is my guest?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.
"My lord misunderstood, how can a few small dishes in this post station be called a treat? It's just a matter of giving you a few local specialties that adults may not have eaten before. Mo replied without humility or arrogance.
A county magistrate was so calm in front of him, Shi Bin was very surprised, Shi Bin immediately judged that the people in front of him were not shallow, and the origin should not be small. So he sneered: "Master Mo, that's how you usually treat guests?" Don't ask the guests what they want to eat, if they want to eat, just serve the food directly? ”
"My lord's forgiveness," Mo Yizhi immediately replied in a 'panic' when he saw this: "This is a last resort, because it is not easy to meet your lordship. ”
At a glance, he knew that Mo's 'panic' was fake, and Shi Bin didn't bother to care, he was so tired that he didn't have time to take care of this trivial matter, and now what he wanted to do was to get the meat ball in front of him away quickly and go to rest.
"It's not easy to see me?"
"Yes, sir. You are vigorous and resolute, and it is common to travel 200 miles a day, and in order not to miss out on the adults, the subordinate has been waiting in this post station for five days. ”
After listening to Xu Mo's words, Shi Bin remembered the situation when he rode his horse and galloped, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, this official is very tired." ”
"Yes, Shi-sama. Here's a letter from your father-in-law, Master Jia, who asked me to hand it to you. ”
A county magistrate in Ganxian County can actually be a messenger of Jia Nidao, and Shi Bin is even more sure that the Mo Dao in front of him is not shallow, and the origin is not small.
When I opened the envelope, I saw three 10,000 taels and a letter. Thirty thousand taels of Jiaozi is naturally Mo Yizhi's meeting gift to himself, Shi Bin has long been used to this, and he doesn't care, he just took a few Jiaozi and stuffed them into his sleeves, and then looked at the letter that Jia Nidao gave him.
After reading Jia Rudao's letter to himself, Shi Bin knew why Mo Ruzhi could be this messenger - because he was a member of the Mo clan of the Tongxiang Wang clan.
Looking at this situation, Jia Rudao had already reaped a lot of benefits from Mo Ruzhi, so he was willing to write this letter instead of just saying a word. Since it was something that his father-in-law mentioned, Shi Bin couldn't deal with it, but he definitely couldn't do it immediately. Because this will seem too incompetent, not like a feudal official with a heavy army, but like a marionette. So Shi Bin didn't immediately say anything after reading it, but said that he was too tired to rest first, and then told him at dinner in the evening.
Since he could face Shi Bin calmly, he would naturally not be surprised by this, and he quickly withdrew from the private room of the restaurant after expressing his gratitude and blessings without saying anything.
I originally wanted to immediately pull Sai Zilong and Xu Feng to discuss the matter, but after running for fifty miles in one breath, my body and bones are about to fall apart, where can I still have the spirit to discuss things? I had no choice but to rest first.
Because there was something in his heart, Shi Bin's sleep was not steady, and he actually slept lightly for half an hour after resting for two hours after eating, and the rest of the time he could only be said to lie on the bed with his eyes closed to rest his body. Sai Zilong took Xu Feng into the bedroom when Shi Bin just felt much more relaxed, Shi Bin was very happy to see this situation, and secretly sighed that the two of them were really smart.
"Big brother, are you feeling better? Do you want to discuss that strange thing outside? Sai Zilong asked, "If you are too tired, you can lie in bed, and you don't have to worry about us." ”
Originally, Shi Bin should have gotten up to talk to Sai Zilong and them, but since Sai Zilong said this, Shi Bin was so happy that he pretended to be still very tired, but he still had a strong spirit to discuss the problem, at least this way he could lie on the bed as a matter of course, which was much more comfortable.
"It's okay, it's much better. Although my whole body was still sore, I still had the energy to discuss one or two issues. ”
"Oh, that's good." Sai Zilong said.
"Zilong, how do you think I should deal with this? Is it as my father-in-law said that after receiving some benefits, he will bring that one? Shi Bin asked.
"Big brother, of course not. Doing so will be very damaging to your reputation and prestige. Sai Zilong said categorically.
"I think so too, but after all, this is someone recommended by my father-in-law, and it will definitely not work without the slightest support, and it is easy to have an accident after the support, and it is even worse if you don't give an answer if you don't give an answer there."
"The eldest brother is very worried, and the lowly also thinks that this matter must be handled carefully. The brothers have climbed up step by step, and if your father-in-law had asked him to go to the front because of a letter, it would have been difficult for you to explain to the brothers. ”
"This is also where I feel troublesome, I don't know his personality, his ability, and his background, if he is easily promoted, I am afraid that he will get into trouble." Shi Bin said with a sad face, and was about to bow his head in contemplation, when he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Zilong, you tell me about this Tongxiang Mo clan in detail, so that I can make a reference." ”
"Yes, sir. This Mo clan can be described as the first family in Tongxiang and the absolute emperor of the soil. ”
"The First Clan, the Emperor of the Earth?" Shi Bin's eyes lit up after listening to Sai Zilong's words, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
"Yes. Not because of anything else, but because the other four brothers who are like him are all Jinshi and first. Their father, Mo Cong, was also a student of the Northern Song Dynasty and went south to avoid the war. ”
Sai Zilong's words made Shi Bin feel incredible, and the first thing he thought of was "Fan Jinzhongju". Fan Jin is crazy if he can't win just one person, and Mo Cong's family of six Jinshi, Mo Cong's five sons Dengke, is indeed a famous family, and it is extraordinary.
At this time, Shi Bin understood why Mo seemed to be so calm and fearless in front of him. He subconsciously decided that he had to win over Mo's, even if it was a misconduct, he couldn't offend too much.
After thinking about these things clearly, Shi Bin went to sleep again, which can be regarded as accumulating energy for the evening interview. He didn't want to lose face in front of a county magistrate.
Soon it was time for dinner, lazy and troublesome, Shi Bin simply pulled Mo Yizhi over to eat together.
"Master Mo, your brother's fifth son Dengke is really rare in the world, and your father Mo Cong is blessed. Shi admired. Shi Bin smiled.
"Lord Shi praised it falsely, but it was my father's teaching that was good, and our five brothers were still willing to work hard and not be stupid to be like this."
"It's really good for Lord Mo to be modest and cautious, it's rare. Presumably you want to go back to Ganzhou, let's go all the way. Shi Bin proposed.
"Thank you for your face, and I am grateful for my humble duties."
After that, he said a lot, but Mo Xiangzhi's performance was not out of the ordinary, and the rules were decent but the atmosphere was steady.
After dinner, Shi Bin called Sai Zilong and Xu Feng into the bedroom again, and this time he made it clear that Mo seemed to be a manufacturable material and was willing to carry it, but the premise of how much to carry was to find out his true character. And Xu Feng proposed that Shi Bin act in a play, and then decide after testing Mo Zhi's character.
"How is this play going to be played? Since he can be a high school scholar, he is definitely not an ordinary person, and ordinary methods will be seen through by him at a glance. Shi Bin said.
"Makes sense. My lord, I remember that Mrs. Jia was saved without knowing her identity and in extreme danger. Xu Feng said.
"Yes, hehe. I didn't expect you to know about it. What do you say all this has to do with that? Shi Bin asked.
"Yes, my lord, Miss Jia is so affectionate to you, can we also try that unsympathetic disciple?" Xu Feng asked.
"Reasonable, big brother, what Brother Xu said is reasonable!" After hearing this, Sai Zilong immediately said: "The character of any unkind person must be very bad, and the character of a person with affection is definitely good. We can indeed judge how much it is like to carry that from this. ”
"This is indeed a good solution, so do you think you need to do this to see the meaning of Mo Xiang? It is absolutely difficult to easily see that he is so old and serious, not to mention that he will pay more attention to these things with me by his side. ”
"Then please ask the eldest brother to leave here first, so that Na Mo seems to be less vigilant first."
"Okay, then you can send someone to take me out of this team as soon as possible on the grounds that Chengdu is urgent." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Wait until Mo seems to relax and then design a temptation." ”
"Understand, big brother, how do we test you after you're gone?"
Just as he was about to think carefully of a way, a few cries came from his ears, and Shi Bin grinned and gave the strategy to Sai Zilong.
On the afternoon of the third day, Li Zengbo of Ezhou sent his subordinates to pretend to be Chengdu post guards and use Yuan people to approach Guangyuan, and Sichuan urgently invited Shi Bin away.
After Shi Bin left, Mo Qizhi was really not so cautious, but the conversation with Sai Zilong was still regular, even if Sai Zilong complained about the decay of the Song Dynasty, Mo Yizhi just smiled and didn't comment much. said that he couldn't control so much, just want to be worthy of his heart. Seeing that Mo seemed to be like this, the old spicy Sai Zilong simply gossiped with Mo Yizhi, not seeking to find out what Mo seemed to think in his heart, just asking him to relax his vigilance, and put his hope on Shi Bin's clever plan.
After another four days, Mo seemed to finally arrive at his own jurisdiction, Gan County, and Sai Zilong led everyone to continue to walk on the road back to Jinghu North Road.
Just as he was about to enter the city, a refugee suddenly rushed to Mo Ruzhi's side and begged him for food, but saw that Mo Ruzhi's face changed quickly, and he was disgusted at first, and suddenly his face showed pity, and motioned for the refugee to follow him to the porridge shop.
After sending the refugee to the porridge shop, Mo Yizhi also took the opportunity to inspect the situation of the porridge shop outside the city to see if the porridge in the bowl could be inserted into the chopsticks and not just some clear soup and little water.
