Not long after, Li Tingzhi and Chen Yan both left Shifu. And Chen Yan's willingness to support Shi Bin and add 'Jiuxi' made Shi Bin feel a lot more relaxed, after all, it is indeed as Li Tingzhi said, if Chen Yan, who has just been promoted by him, still works against him, it will be very troublesome.

"Husband, are they gone?" Jia Ling walked in, followed by Sai Xishi.

"Gone." Shi Bin smiled and said, "You should have seen their appearance, right?" ”

"Naturally, I saw it. Husband, what's wrong with them, why are they blue and swollen? Got into a fight? Sai Si Shi asked.

Shi Bin nodded, and shook his head a little helplessly. Hearing that Li Tingzhi and Chen Yan were fighting, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, two guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, were very excited, and they couldn't wait to ask who the two were fighting with and why.

The reason for the fight made Shi Bin feel a little embarrassed to speak, but he still said it, "The two of them fought with each other because I had different opinions on adding 'Jiuxi'. ”

The fight over this incident made Jia Ling and Sai Xishi laugh out loud. However, the two of them are still a little puzzled, although Li Tingzhi is a Wenchen, he has led the troops for many years and is in good health, Chen Yan is a Wenchen with a weak body, how can they be so blue and swollen when they fight?

"Are you very puzzled why Li Tingzhi and Chen Yan both have blue noses and swollen faces, and Li Tingzhi, a general, has never beaten Chen Yan, a civil servant? Let me tell you, it's not that Li Tingzhi can't beat it, but he doesn't want to fight. He knew that Chen Yan was against me adding 'Jiuxi', so he kept dissuading him. Chen Yan did not listen to the dissuasion, but insulted him for being disloyal and unfilial, and the two started fighting. Chen Yan went all out, and Li Tingzhi's subordinates showed mercy, so both of them had blue noses and swollen faces. Shi Bin explained.

"I said a long time ago not to win over Chen Yan, that guy doesn't have much ability, and his temper is not small. If I were Li Tingzhi, I would definitely beat him all over the ground looking for teeth! Sai Xi Shi said angrily.

"I will do the same! By the way, husband, why does Li Tingzhi have mercy? It's a big deal, don't want Chen Yan! Jia Ling asked.

"This is because Li Tingzhi doesn't want people to think that I don't know people. If the newly promoted official goes against me, I will give people a bad feeling and be criticized no matter what I say. ”

"I can't imagine that Li Tingzhi is so righteous, it's really rare!" Jia Ling couldn't help nodding and said, "You should pay more attention to this person, if you are really capable enough, you should be promoted exceptionally." ”

"My sister is right, if you have enough ability, you should be promoted."

"It's really a hero's vision, I had this plan just now. I believe that in the next few days, Wang Yi and Li Shao will propose to the emperor at the court meeting to add 'Jiuxi' for me. What do you think should be done? I don't think it's okay to accept it all at once. You should have to say no a few times. ”

"Of course, you can't accept it once, you have to refuse it at least three times." Jia Ling said without hesitation.

"Three times?" Shi Bin and Sai Xi Shi said in surprise in unison. Obviously, three times is a bit too much.

In Shi Bin's opinion, he knows what he plans to do, and it is enough to refuse once, but refusing three times seems too much, too troublesome, and too hypocritical. So he said what was in his heart.

After listening, Sai Xishi, a female bandit leader with a slightly simpler mind, agreed with Shi Bin's opinion, thinking that refusing once was enough, three times was too much. And Jia Ling was smiling, but the smile was obviously laughing at the two of them for being ignorant. Of course, he couldn't tolerate such ridicule, and Sai Xishi immediately lost his temper and asked Jia Ling to give an explanation.

"Good sister, sister is wrong, don't be angry. However, you and your husband don't know how noble it is to forget this 'nine tin', how can you show your humility if you don't refuse a few times? Isn't it reproachful for not showing enough humility? In my opinion, three times is less, at least six. Jia Ling smiled.

Jia Ling's words made Shi Bin and Sai Xishi feel incredible, but they also felt helpless, isn't it just that adding a 'Jiuxi' can make such trouble?

"I bet with you that if you don't refuse three times, there will be no more than eighty percent of the officials in the DPRK and China who sincerely support Fu Junjia 'Jiuxi'. If I lose, I will pay you three thousand taels of silver, and if you lose, you will pay me three thousand taels of silver. ”

Jia Ling's bet made Shi Bin and Sai Xishi itch in their hearts, and they quickly agreed.

Three days later, Wang Yi and Li Shao began to ask the emperor to add 'nine tins' to Shi Bin. The situation is really as Jia Ling said, Shi Bin and his family all support Shi Bin and 'Jiuxi', accounting for forty percent of the hundred officials, and the rest of the centrists are basically silent while the 'anti-Shi faction' is trying their best to oppose it. Seeing this, Shi Bin had no choice but to stand up and say that his virtue was thin and talented, and he was not enough to add 'Jiuxi'. A few days later, Wang Yi and Li Shao stood up again and asked the emperor to add 'nine tin' to Shi Bin. Although there are a lot more supporters this time, it is only sixty percent. In order to take into account the overall situation, Shi Bin had no choice but to resign again.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Shi Bin returned to the mansion with some frustration, and felt a little ashamed when he saw Jia Ling, he didn't expect that there would be such a big resistance to adding a 'Jiuxi'.

And Jia Ling saw him with a 'smile' on his face, and walked over in three steps and two steps, and said, "Husband, how is it, are you ready for three thousand taels of silver?" Sister Xi Shi was taken by you to the ditch, so her three thousand taels of silver are suitable for you. ”

"Don't worry, husband, will I be the king of Chu who will repay the debt? I'll definitely help her out with Shih Tzu's money! Shi Bin said angrily. Then the king of Chu left in a huff.

Not long after, Sai Xi Shi also followed, also with a depressed face. "Husband, this is too unfair." Sai Xi Shi said unwillingly.

Looking at Sai Xishi's angry appearance, Shi Bin was very surprised and a little happy, this side of the female bandit leader was difficult to see. How can you not be happy when you see it now? It washed away Shi Bin's own anger.

"It's really unfair, it looks like we dug our own hole and jumped on our own, but in fact she still made a bad deal and induced us to gamble. If I don't get back a game, I can't swallow this breath, and I won't come out with six thousand taels of silver. Shi Bin said through gritted teeth.

Shi Bin's first sentence Sai Xishi agreed very much, but she did not agree with the second sentence. Therefore, he said: "Husband, a manly man, a spit and a nail, no matter how you are aggrieved, you still have to give the six thousand taels of silver." What's more, the money is just a matter of going into the left pocket and the right pocket, and it is not really given to others. ”

"Even if you are reasonable, I will give the money, and I will help you pay the money you want. But Xiaoling has to help find a way, and she thinks of a way by herself, and I can't figure it out, so I still don't honor it. ”

"Husband, why do you have to do this? It's good to ask my sister to discuss it together, why is it so clear? And the concubine thinks that her sister must be able to come up with a good way, maybe there is a way now. Sai Xi Shi said with a slight frown.

"Really?"

"I think it's very likely." Sai Xi Shi nodded vigorously and said.

"Okay, let's try to tempt, Xi Shi, you go and call Xiaoling. Let's ask. ”

After a while, Jia Ling was taken to the study by Sai Xishi, Shi Bin pointed to a few Jiaozi on the table, smiled and said, "Madam, Jiaozi is here, Sai Xishi and I admit defeat." ”

Seeing that the two not only admitted defeat but also cashed in very happily, Jia Ling was very happy, nodded and smiled and was about to get the six thousand taels of handover. It's just that before his hand reached there, Shi Bin took a few more Jiaozi back. This mutation made Jia Ling puzzled and a little angry, could it be that Shi Bin and Sai Xishi wanted to break their promise?

"Madame deserves to take the six thousand taels of silver, but husband, I also want Madame to do me a favor and help me find a good way to get more people's support. Indeed, such a little support rate is a little small, even if it is three resignations, it will definitely be less, but I don't have so much patience. ”

It turned out that she wanted to help her come up with ideas, and Jia Ling did not object to this condition, anyway, she also liked to be a staff officer. Therefore, he happily agreed to Shi Bin's conditions. Although Jia Ling had already had a way as Sai Xishi expected, he obviously knew about this matter, as if everything was under control.

Shi Bin and Sai Xishi waited quietly for a quarter of an hour, and Shi Bin asked, "How is it, Nu Zhuge , have you figured out a way?" ”

"What do you think?" Jia Ling smiled confidently and slyly.

"It seems that there is a way, don't put on a score, Xiaoling say it quickly!"

"Yes, sister, let's talk about it. If you say it earlier, the six thousand taels of silver will come to you sooner! ”

"It's not a great idea, but it's definitely working. We used to ask for the support of officials, and this time we will also attract more support from ordinary people. What do you think? ”

Pull the support of the common people? This concept is not unfamiliar to Shi Bin, but he doesn't know how to operate it at all, and Sai Xishi is completely confused.

"Sister, what does it mean to pull the support of the common people? The common people can't see the emperor again, what's the use of asking them to support it? They just don't have much influence on those officials. Sai Xi Shi said with some disdain. I was a little disappointed with Jia Ling's approach.

"Sister, the thing is very simple, in fact, it is to spend some money to ask these people to hold a parade in support of Fu Junjia 'Jiuxi', and come every three or five times. If there are too many times, those centrists will become supporters, and many opponents will become silent centrists, except for a very small number of die-hards, the rest will support the husband. ”

According to Sai Xishi's attitude, she still doesn't plan to give the money to Jia Ling, and she will cash it out after seeing the results. However, Shi Bin agreed, and immediately cashed in. It's just that he didn't ask Sai Xishi to give it together, which can be regarded as a kind of supervision.

Shi Bin quickly ordered Xu Feng to follow Jia Ling's method, and there was really no effect in the first month, and many officials laughed, feeling that the people who were engaged in the march were all guys with brain problems. If it weren't for Zhao Gang to control the entire Lin'an, it is estimated that these people would have been arrested and imprisoned in the heavenly prison.

Because the situation is not ideal, Shi Bin is not very happy, but fortunately, Sai Xishi has a kind temperament and does not take the opportunity to speak ill of Jia Ling, but asks Shi Bin to be patient and wait, maybe there will be a change soon.

When the dynasty dispersed one day, Wang Yi, Li Shao, Li Tingzhi and Chen Yan all ran to Shi Bin's side with happy faces, indicating that things had taken a turn for the better.

Shi Bin didn't know why, because he couldn't see where there was a turnaround, and everything seemed to be the same as before. The evidence given by the four people is that more and more officials are discussing Shi Bin in the yamen, and the most talked about is the merits that Shi Bin has established rather than the mistakes he has made.

This is indeed a big change, the direction of the rhetoric has changed, and it has changed to the side that is favorable to Shi Bin.
