Chapter 330: Difficult

Starting from the official member Wailang, Shi Bin and Zheng Qingzhi, Wu Qian, and Zhao Kui mobilized all the forces that could be trusted, and finally found out more Yuan spies lurking in various places in Lin'an City and the Song Dynasty scholars who hooked up with the Yuan people.

Shi Bin took the list of Yuan people sent to him by Zheng Qingzhi, his heart was like a knife, he sighed that the Great Song Dynasty was so corrupt, and thirty percent of the scholars in Lin'an City had contact with the Yuan people. At the same time, he was also very glad that he didn't shake out the matter of Zheng Dagongzi at the beginning, once he committed public anger, even if he had a heavy army, he would die without a place to be buried.

Looking at this piece of paper in a daze, Shi Bin really didn't know what to do. Kill? How many heads do you have to land? Don't kill? How to deter those brutes who are ready to rebel against the Song Dynasty and forget their ancestors?

On the issue of killing, Shi Bin knew that he was not decisive enough, far inferior to Wang San. And Sai Zilong, who accompanied him, was the one who didn't care about killing people the most, and in his opinion, there was not much difference between killing people and slaughtering chickens, so Sai Zilong was called into the room by Shi Bin to discuss the 'problem'.

As soon as Sai Zilong pushed the door open, Shi Bin handed over the list in his hand and said dejectedly: "Take a look, good thing." ”

Good stuff? Sai Zilong couldn't understand it, because Shi Bin's face was obviously unkind, he immediately judged that this was a counterstatement, and it was related to the current investigation of the Yuan people's spies, most of which was the result of the investigation.

With a little smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to take the list, but after a brief glance, he understood why Shi Bin was in such a state as if he had been struck by lightning. He, the spy leader, has been circling in data and lists all year round, and he is familiar with almost all the famous families in the Great Song Dynasty. And the list in front of him is actually full of high-ranking families and officials in Beijing in Lin'an Mansion.

"Big brother, what are you going to do?" For the first time, Sai Zilong felt helpless, as if his methods were useless in the face of this behemoth.

"Can I call you if I have a way? Hey, so many people, what do you say? Shi Bin said with a sad cry.

After all, they are from a small family, although Shi Bin and Sai Zilong are now in a high position and hold real power, but their bearing is still insufficient, and they haven't come up with a way to think about it for a long time.

Of course it won't work like this, Shi Bin opened his mouth and asked, "Zilong, what would you do if someone under my command dared to vote for Yuan?" ”

"Kill, and destroy the three clans!" Sai Zilong replied without hesitation.

"Kill and destroy the three clans?" Shi Bin purred to himself, "Kill, and destroy the three clans?" ”

Thinking that Shi Bin wanted to give the guys who tried to surrender to Lin'an Mansion also to 'exterminate the three clans', Sai Zilong immediately jumped out to stop it, "Your Excellency, you must not." You must not make enemies on all sides! Even how to find out the true source of this is not to be known! ”

Seeing Sai Zilong's appearance, Shi Bin smiled and said, "Zilong don't worry, I'm not so crazy, I won't think about punishing so many people's three clans, if that's the case, I'm afraid my reputation will not be much better than that of Yuan Ren." ”

"That's good, that's good." Sai Zilong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what do you want to do?" There must be a solution to this problem. ”

"Solution?" After hearing this, Shi Bin said, "Yes, there must be a solution, otherwise the emperor will not be able to explain, he already knows that there are Yuan people in Lin'an City." So what do you say? It's definitely not okay to kill like this. ”

Sai Zilong said with a sad face: "My lord, I am from a humble background, I know at most that I can't kill like this, but I can't think of a way to deal with this problem, I'm afraid my lord will have to ask someone of insight." ”

"Insightful?" Shi Bin looked at Sai Zilong in frustration. secretly said in his heart, where did he know any people of insight, and his subordinates only had a little insight into Wang San and Li Chao. Now that the two of them are not around, they can only be anxious about this matter.

"My lord, there is still a way to be lowly, and it is estimated to be useful."

"Sai Zilong, say it quickly! Less twisting! Shi Bin anxiously urged.

"I thought there was no need for adults to worry about this matter, the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top, why should we come up with an idea and ask those few Zaifu to get it? Whoever comes up with the idea is responsible, as long as the adult doesn't make an idea, even if something happens in the future, you will not be mainly responsible. ”

"You mean just act and don't speak? Let Zheng Qingzhi and a few of them figure it out? Shi Bin asked.

"Exactly. My lord, I know that you don't like to be used as a gunman, but this is not a trivial matter, and it is already risky to participate in the operation, and it is too dangerous to come up with ideas. Why do such a thankless task? ”

Shi Bin knew that this must be the best way, and the farther the ball was kicked, the better. So he immediately sent someone to inform Wu Qian and Zhao Kui, and met at Zheng Qingzhi's mansion the next afternoon to discuss the matter of eradicating the Yuan people's spies.

Wu Qian and Zhao Kui both came, but none of the three people in the conference hall, Zheng Qingzhi, Wu Qian, and Zhao Kui had a good face. One of the reasons is that many of Tongyuan's people are related to them, either from the township party or their protégés.

Knowing that they were not easy to speak, Shi Bin didn't plan to come up with an idea but couldn't say nothing, so he opened his head and said, "Three adults, what do you say about the people on this list?" ”

As soon as Shi Bin's words fell, Wu Qian took over and said, "What can I do?" You can do what you want. ”

What to do? Wu Qian's words were beyond Shi Bin's expectations, and there are also a few of Wu Qian's fellow villagers and protégés in this list, can he really kill his relatives so decisively?

"Wu Qian! What do you mean, what do you mean by what to do? Before Shi Bin could figure out why Wu Qian was able to kill his relatives so righteously, Zhao Kui roared, obviously furious.

Although he is not often in Lin'an, from Sai Zilong's intelligence, Shi Bin knows that the protégés of Zhao Kui, the Tongyuan official seized this time, account for a large part, so it is normal for Zhao Kui to react violently.

He was about to despise Zhao Kui's inconsistencies inside and outside, but he said: "Wu Qian, this list is definitely correct, and your proposal is also correct from the perspective of the law, but there are some places where I am afraid you have not thought it through." You may think I'm reacting so violently to defend my henchmen, but no, at least not entirely. ”

"It's really inappropriate to kill so many people, but I still can't think of why Cho Jae-suk reacted so violently." Wu Qian said, "Why is it not to maintain the protégé?" ”

"Did Wu Zaifu forget the ranking of Shinong Industry and Commerce? Almost all of these people in the list were scholars, only a few landlords and wealthy merchants, and even some of them were famous. The scholars are virtuous in their hearts, meritorious contributions to the world, meritorious deeds in words, and Ze is the cornerstone of my Great Song Dynasty. If such a brutal killing is bound to put everyone in danger, I am afraid that it will not be able to end at that time. ”

Shi Bin only knew that it was inappropriate to kill so many people, but he didn't know that the ranking of Shinong Industry and Commerce and the Shi clan were considered the cornerstone of the Great Song Dynasty. But looking at the faces of Wu Qian and Zheng Qingzhi, they seemed to agree with Zhao Kui's statement, and Wu Qian's attitude was not so tough.

Zhao Kui's words can be regarded as a wake-up call for Shi Bin and the three of them, and they definitely can't slaughter those meritorious and famous scholars on such a large scale. But what if you don't kill? There are no rules, there is no circle, you can't let them come and go between the Great Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty at will, Shi Bin thought secretly.

"Lord Shi, what is your opinion?" Zhao Kui turned around and asked Shi Bin.

Fortunately, he had long planned to keep silent and never express his opinion, so he didn't let Zhao Kui's old fritter lose face by surprise, but turned his head and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, Shi Moujie's martial artist only understands battlefield fighting and military law, and he doesn't understand any other laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Shi is also afraid that if he says the wrong thing and misleads the adults, it will be a big mistake. ”

Looking at the little loach in front of him, Zhao Kui didn't give up, he must hold back Shi Bin's truth, so he continued: "Lord Shi, you are also a feudal official, not to mention that you should be the first to eradicate the Yuan people and spies this time, how can you come here and not show your attitude?" If we ignore your attitude, the three of us will be talked about, where do you put the faces of our old fellows? ”

secretly scolded Zhao Kui for being cunning and taking himself as the vanguard, so he said: "Zhao Zaifu's words are wrong. You are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and you should be better able to deal with this troublesome matter than I do. ”

Seeing Shi Bin's repeated shirks, everyone immediately understood what Shi Bin meant, because he was a feudal official who could not be forced, the three of them had to let him go.

After discussing for a long time, the three of them came up with a feasible solution: kill one and make an example. Shi Bin had already used this method badly, so he naturally disdained it.

Seeing Shi Bin's attitude, Wu Qian said to him: "Master Shi, I think you should have heard the method we discussed, but we still want to hear your opinion." ”

Killing one to make an example means that he will not kill many people, that is to say, he will not offend too many scholars, Shi Bin decided to say a little bit to save face. "What do the three Zaisukes mean by killing a few guys who are most likely to surrender to the Yuan people to make an example?"

"Exactly. I believe that I have heard the conversation with Lord Wu before, and both he and Lord Zheng think that they cannot be slaughtered like this, so we agree that killing one and making an example is the most appropriate way at present. ”

"Then may I ask Lord Zhao, do you kill more scholars but not the three clans, or kill fewer scholars but not the three clans?" Shi Bin asked.

As soon as Shi Bin's words were finished, Zhao Kui looked at Shi Bin for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Lord Shi is really powerful, this can be considered." You still say that you don't understand the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, which is really humble. ”

"Lord Zhao praised it falsely, and the rest of the people don't understand how much they have heard of this strain, even the three clans and the nine clans."

Of course, Shi Bin can't be allowed to get off the stage, Zhao Kui no longer made fun of it, but said solemnly: "This is exactly what we want to ask for Lord Shi's opinion." I advocate that Zhulian will kill less scholars, Lord Zheng doesn't want Zhulian to kill more scholars, Lord Wu doesn't take a stand, and now you are left with Lord Shi. But you can't afford not to take a stand. ”

Three bastards! Shi Bin scolded in his heart. I still got myself into it. Although there will always be one who tops the tank together, Shi Bin is still unhappy.

Since he couldn't escape, Shi Bin didn't bother to hide anymore, and thought about it carefully. Although it is said that cutting grass does not eradicate the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again, but those women and children are very innocent, Shi Bin will never approve of killing, so he said with certainty, "Lord Zhao, don't blame me for my attitude, I don't want to be involved, it is too cruel for women and children to be innocent after all." ”

"In that case, then adopt the opinions of Lord Shi and Lord Zheng - not to kill more people. So how many kills are these kills? I think it's almost enough to kill two or three. Zhao Kui said.

Since they did not agree with Zhao Kui's opinion before, Shi Bin, Zheng Qingzhi and Wu Qian all agreed with his opinion very happily.

The next day, a copy signed by Zheng Qingzhi, Wu Qian, Zhao Kui and Shi Bin was handed to Li Zong's study, but there was no reply after three days, which made the four of them nervous again.
