Chapter 139 Visiting Liu Zhizhou
Chapter 139: Visiting Liu Zhizhou
A day later, Shi Bin went to Liu Zhizhou's mansion to 'visit' him, and Shi Bin was greatly surprised when he saw Liu Zhenxiao's sick appearance.
Could it be that Liu Zhizhou, who is inferior to pigs and dogs, is still a seed of infatuation? So fond of his third aunt?
"Liu Zhizhou, may I ask what is wrong with you? Xia Guan heard that your third aunt was trapped in Yangmeizhou, and came to visit, hoping that the adults can recover soon. Shi Bin said very "sincerely".
Liu Zhizhou looked really tired, his eyes were blank, and he even replied weakly and said "thank you".
"My lord, isn't that just an aunt's wife? Why do you want to do this? Shi Bin is completely true, after all, no one would believe that an official would take an aunt and wife so seriously.
Liu Zhenxiao knew Shi Bin's energy, but he didn't want to agree to Shi Bin easily, just thanked Shi Bin for coming to see him, and explained a little why he liked the third aunt so much.
It turned out that although the third aunt was born in poverty, she was loyal and virtuous, cared about Liu Zhenxiao very much, and occasionally could persuade her directly, and she was not a woman who only knew how to scratch her head and make gestures.
Hearing this, Shi Bin regretted trapping such a nice woman on the continent, and what made him feel at ease was that there was enough food on the ship for ten days, as long as there was no major incident, the third aunt would definitely be able to come back safely.
Since he is here to negotiate, of course Shi Bin will not spoil a big deal because of sympathy, but he is just a good woman, she must be saved, and she must be saved and let her return to Tanzhou safely, but he just doesn't say that he can help.
At this time, Xu Feng, who was standing behind Shi Bin, gave Wu Haoran a look and motioned him to beat the side drum quickly, but Wu Haoran turned a blind eye.
This made Xu Feng very anxious, for fear of ruining Shi Bin's big thing. Fortunately, he was not a reckless person, and he did not explode immediately, but walked behind Liu Zhizhou under the pretext of pouring tea, came to Wu Haoran's side, and took out the short knife in his waist to show the guy.
Seeing this extremely sharp blade with a cold light, Wu Haoran suddenly remembered that although the person opposite was polite, he was originally a butcher who killed people without blinking. Even if he broke out in a cold sweat, he nodded and signaled that Liu Zhizhou would open his mouth to beg.
Seeing that the shameless man agreed, Xu Feng "filled up the water" and returned to Shi Bin.
"Your Excellency." Wu Haoran opened his mouth and said, "Shi Tongju served as the commander of Tanzhou before, how about asking him for help?" ”
Although I don't want to ask Shi Bin, who is prosperous in official luck, to help, there seems to be no other good way at present, not to mention that this is not a request from him, but a proposal from his follower, and he will not lose his face.
"It also depends on whether Shi Tongju is willing or not, after all, Lord Tongju is also very busy, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to trouble Lord Shi with this sesame mung bean." Liu Zhenxiao said it in another official tone.
Shi Bin immediately said: "Where is Lord Zhizhou, I worked with you when I was the commander of Tanzhou, we are all old friends, your business is my business, how can I not help my friends if they have something?" Wouldn't that be reviling? I believe you know that I also have some friends in the Tanzhou Navy, although I am now in the general judge, but I still have a lot of correspondence with them, I ask them to help and believe that they will give this face. ”
Now that he has received Shi Bin's promise, Liu Zhizhou's face has improved a lot, his eyes are no longer dull, and his vitality seems to have recovered a lot.
"I'm tired of Lord Shi, and Liu is grateful. If Lord Shi has anything to ask Liu to help with, he will come to me directly when the time comes, and if I can help, there is no difference! Liu Zhizhou said impassionedly.
Shi Bin immediately said after hearing this: "My lord, now that Tanzhou is seriously affected by floods, it is difficult to pass by water and land, I am afraid it will affect the adult's examination this year." ”
Before he started, he gave Liu Zhizhou a big hat related to interests, although he could buy the officials who took the exam, but it cost money, and Liu Zhizhou was naturally unwilling. Now that Shi Bin took the initiative to mention that Liu Zhizhou felt that he wanted to participate, Liu Zhizhou would naturally let him continue.
"The lower officials are willing to solve this problem for the adults."
There will be no pie in the sky, Shi Bin will naturally ask him for help if he takes the initiative to help, Liu Zhenxiao has been in officialdom for a long time and naturally understands, but this old man is very calm, and he does not express his position, only listens to Shi Bin's words.
Knowing that even if he helped Liu Zhenxiao save the third aunt, he might not be able to allocate funds, so Shi Bin had to say that he was 'real' and not so noble.
"My lord, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Of course, the lower officials have their own careful thoughts to help adults solve this problem, and I believe that the adults have long understood that I just want to make some political achievements by building roads, in order to get promoted quickly. Shi Bin said with some embarrassment.
Seeing that Shi Bin was so honest, Liu Zhenxiao was also relieved, and said, "Shi Tongju, it's not easy to do things, you young officials don't understand the difficulties, that's why you are so motivated." However, I, Liu, have faith in my words, if you can really save the third aunt, I will fully support you in building the road, and allocate at least 3,000 taels of silver to you. ”
Although Liu Zhenxiao was greedy, no one had scolded him for being a villain who broke his word and gained weight, so Shi Bin was relieved when he heard this.
Shi Bin immediately said that he would definitely save his third aunt back to Tanzhou, and not so much, as long as two thousand seven hundred taels of it.
After dealing with this tricky matter, Liu Zhenxiao's spirit came back completely, and he chatted with Shi Bin for a few words.
Shi Bin didn't dare to stay for a long time, saying that it was reassuring to rescue as soon as possible. Before leaving, he also hinted to Liu Zhizhou: he will definitely give him most of the credit for building the road, and will ask Jia Yidao to help transfer him to a better state and county, and only ask him to sponsor himself as the governor of Tanzhou before leaving office.
This is just a matter of pen and ink, and it doesn't hurt him at all, Liu Zhenxiao naturally agreed.
After Liu Zhenxiao's level, the rest of the things will be easy to do. Shi Bin immediately ordered Xiangtan Liu Xiao to lead a battalion of sailors to Yangmeizhou to 'rescue' Liu Zhizhou's third aunt.
This flood was nothing in front of the well-trained sailors, and in less than two days, Liu Xiao sent the third aunt to Shi Bin. praised him for asking about the situation in Xiangtan City by the way, and then let him go back.
took a closer look at the three aunts in front of her, her appearance was not outstanding, but her facial features were upright, which was slightly inferior to Xiaoqin.
"Your lord doesn't think about tea and dinner for your business, and he is very haggard. If he hadn't begged for you, and seeing that you were a virtuous and virtuous woman, I wouldn't have let so many soldiers take this risk. Shi Bin said deliberately.
"Thank you, sir, I will take good care of my lord. Thank you for your regeneration, and I will repay you. ”
Shi Bin quite admired the woman's tepidness, and nodded with a smile.
"You don't have to thank me, if you really want to thank me, persuade your master to let him do more things that are beneficial to the country. Of course, you have to be promoted to make a fortune, and there is no conflict in doing something practical. ”
The third aunt was very smart and understood the meaning of her words, and immediately said that she would do her best to persuade Liu Zhizhou to fully support Shi Bin in doing things.
After chatting with the parents again, Shi Bin sent the third aunt to Liu Zhizhou's mansion.
Seeing that his distressed woman came back, Liu Zhizhou was very happy and immediately gave Shi Bin an allocation of two thousand seven hundred taels.
After getting this money, Shi Bin was very emotional. He never expected that it would take so much effort to make an ordinary appropriation in the decaying Song Dynasty.
