Chapter 294: Yu Jue's troubles

After the matter was done, Shi Bin planned to go back to Dingzhou and leave the annoying place in Sichuan, and he didn't want to see Yu Jue, the too shrewd old fox, even if he was loyal and patriotic. I only chatted with Wang Su, the commander of Naleshan County, about the rule of officials in Sichuan, and then set off.

From Wang Su's mouth, Shi Bin learned that there were corrupt officials everywhere in Sichuan, and Yu Yu was also struggling and not living comfortably, but Shi Bin didn't bother to care about this, who told him not to let himself be comfortable.

As soon as he hit the road, he galloped wildly, not wanting to rest. Not for anything else, just because Shi Bin was worried in his heart, he always felt that something was going to happen, and he decided to leave this ominous place as soon as possible.

Who knew that before he left Chengdu for twenty miles, he was robbed by Yu Jue's heralds, saying that he had to invite him back to the camp to discuss matters. Although he couldn't see anything from the herald who obviously didn't know what was going on, Shi Bin believed that Yu Jue would not do anything good to invite him back this time, and maybe he would ask him for help again.

has been a fool once, of course he can't be a second time, Shi Bin shirked vigorously and said that there was an urgent matter on Jinghu South Road, and he had to go back immediately. But the herald was obviously a dead brain who resolutely carried out the order, even if Shi Bin, the Jingnan pacification envoy and the Sichuan transfer envoy, said a basket of good things, he simply blocked the road and prevented Shi Bin from passing.

In the end, he lost his temper, and Shi Bin ordered Xu Feng to beat him down and tie his hands and throw him on the side of the road. Just as he was about to leave, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and in a blink of an eye, the person in charge was Yu Jue. Knowing that he couldn't leave, Shi Bin had no choice but to obey Yu Jue's wishes and follow him back to the camp.

"Lord Shi, Yu has ruined your itinerary, I'm really sorry." Yu Jue apologized very 'sincerely'.

"There's no need to apologize, but I still have a lot of complicated things to do on Jinghu South Road, and I have been delayed with you for nearly a month before, so if you have something to do, please hurry up and say that Shi doesn't have a lot of time." Shi Bin replied coldly.

Yu Jue knew that Shi Bin was definitely not happy, before he begged himself to help him push back, and now he stopped him back from the way back, so he didn't care about Shi Bin's tone, and replied: "Yu knows that Lord Shi is not happy, but Yu is also forced to be helpless, but in the end he still helped you, didn't he?" Please don't worry about it anymore. ”

is not an unreasonable person, Yu Jue also has some sense, and they are all officials in Sichuan, and they are not suitable for these trivial things to get along with each other, Shi Bin's tone softened, "Then please ask Lord Yu to say why you robbed me back from the official road?" ”

If Shi Bin had said 'robbed back' before, Yu Jue would have been furious on the spot, but now he couldn't, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Lord Shi, how is this a robbery?" Yu personally invited you back. ”

"Okay, whether it's please or robbery, what is it that makes Lord Yu so anxious?" Shi Bin asked.

"It's a very troublesome thing, there is still a difference of thirty percent in paying the taxes and silver of the imperial court, and I am afraid it will be difficult for you and me to pay the difference."

"Lord Yu, my errand has already been delivered, and it is difficult for you to make the errand." Shi Bin grinned and said.

"Lord Shi, you are a transit envoy in Sichuan, and it is also your responsibility to collect taxes and silver, if you pay insufficient taxes and silver to the imperial court, you will not be able to escape punishment, why is it difficult for me to make a difference?" Yu Jue asked anxiously.

"Everyone knows that I, Shi Bin, just hung up the post of a transfer envoy in Sichuan, and now I have a guilty plea, even if I really pay uneven taxes, the silver emperor will not do anything to me, not to mention that Sichuan transfer makes me really not rare, are you right, Lord Yu?"

understood that Shi Bin was playing a bachelor's game and didn't want to help, but Yu Jue had nothing to do with him. Because the commander of Sichuan had no choice but to play a bachelor, he glanced at Shi Bin regretfully, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shi, I know that there must be a way for you to have many strategists. Say, what do you need to do me this favor? ”

I thought that Yu Jue would still say good things, but I didn't expect it to be a condition. This made Shi Bin very happy, but he was also a little hesitant. I am happy that there will definitely be oil and water fishing in this way, but what I hesitate is that he will not talk about the conditions for fear of fishing less. So he immediately 'frowned'.

This can't hide from Yu Jue, and he doesn't care about anything else and says directly: "As long as Lord Shi helps me get through this difficulty, I will give you an arrow, and with this arrow, you can mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses in my Sichuan at will, how about it?" ”

Do you have the right to transfer troops in Sichuan? This is indeed a great temptation. Although Shi Bin is a transport envoy in Sichuan, the people he can mobilize in Sichuan are only dozens of errands in the yamen, which is really useless.

So he replied, "Yes, that's not bad either." Master Yu, how about I go back and discuss with my subordinates, and give you an answer tomorrow? However, there may still be conditions, and when the time comes, you can't say that I, Shi, am an insatiable villain who is insatiable and robs while the fire is hot. ”

"This is natural." After speaking, Yu Jue personally sent Shi Bin out of the line to show respect.

As soon as they returned to their tents, Shi Bin explained the reason why Yu Jue invited them back. It turned out that it was because of taxes, but this time he couldn't hold it on his own and wanted to turn to Shi Bin for help.

"Li Chao, Xi Shi, I have promised Yu Jue to give him an answer tomorrow, you see..."

Before Shi Bin finished speaking, Sai Xishi shouted: "What? You promised to give him an answer tomorrow? Although Li Chao didn't dare to be so rude, he shook his head helplessly to express his dissatisfaction.

"You don't know how good the conditions are for him." Of course, Shi Bin didn't think that he had done anything wrong, and immediately retorted.

"How good can it be? Tell me, is it possible that he still gave up this Sichuan Governor to you? Sai Xi Shi said angrily.

"It's not, but it's not that far."

As soon as Shi Bin's voice fell, Sai Xishi and Li Chao's breathing immediately became rough. Shi Bin was originally in charge of civil affairs by Sichuan's transfer envoy, but now Sichuan is short of money and food, so it is impossible for Yu Yu to use these as conditions, and the rest is naturally military power. Both of them are smart people, and they said in unison: "Say it quickly, how many soldiers does Yu Jue allow you to transfer freely?" ”

did not answer, but triumphantly stretched out three fingers, and said three thousand. Sai Xi Shi and Li Chao, who saw this action, were almost ecstatic.

"How? If it's done, I won't lose money on this purchase. ”

"It's not a loss." Li Chao replied with a smile, "But this transfer of troops requires a token, will he give it to you?" Something else did for him, but he broke his promise. ”

"If he says this, he will give me a command arrow as a guarantee." Shi Bin replied calmly.

"It's not bad, but I'm still not happy in my heart, isn't it too boring to do conditions like this that you can't see or touch? What's more, the silver he wanted, could it be that we put it on for him? Sai Xi Shi said to himself, "That's not good, it's too bad." ”

After thinking about it, I felt that Sai Xishi's words were reasonable. They came to Sichuan just to spend less money, and even if they could arbitrarily mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses in Sichuan from then on, it would not be interesting to pay for it.

"What do you say about Shih Tzu?" Shi Bin asked a little unpleasantly.

"I don't know, I haven't figured it out for the time being anyway, but you can't ask us to help him pad, let alone ask us to help him out!"

As soon as Sai Xishi's words came out, Shi Bin's face became bitter. His original idea was to call tens of thousands of taels of silver to help Yu Jue plug the hole, and then ask Yu Jue to repay the money and fulfill his promise after the matter was over. Now Sai Xishi, the Hedong Lion, obviously has an uncompromising attitude, which makes him feel a little difficult, and Li Chao on the side also feels unhappy after hearing it.

Seeing Shi Bin and Li Chao like this, Sai Xishi smiled and said, "If you don't move your own, won't you move others?" ”

Touching someone else's? In Shi Bin and Li Chao's concept, what moves others is the one who moves the landlord and the bully, but Sichuan is Yu Jue's territory, and if he follows the set of Jinghu South Road, I'm afraid it is not suitable, so their brothers didn't understand the meaning of Sai Shih Tzu for a while.

"Why haven't you figured it out yet? When I say they don't mean the landlords and bullies, I mean the corrupt officials. Sai Xi Shi shook his head hatefully.

This time, Shi Bin and Li Chao understood that Sai Xishi was planning to raid the homes of those corrupt officials. But this is indeed a good way, copy one and send a sum, and you don't have to take the risk, just take it for nothing.

"It's a good way, but I don't think it's the best way." Shi Bin smiled weirdly.

Everyone is familiar with this appearance of Shi Bin, this is because he has bad water in his stomach, and it is very bad.

"Come on, Lord Shi, the little girl really wants to ask you if there is any better way." Sai Xi Shi saluted as he spoke.

"Well, Mrs. Sai excuses me. It's just a small ploy, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of selling the official beard. Shi Bin smiled 'peacefully' again.

Knowing that Shi Bin was talking nonsense, of course Li Chao and Sai Xishi didn't believe it, Li Chao took over the conversation and urged: "Big brother, just say it, let us have a long experience, and see what mysteries are in your 'official mantle'." ”

"There will definitely be a few real shortages after the raid, right?"

"Of course." Sai Xi Shi responded.

"What will those who want to be officials and those who want to be promoted see these real shortcomings?" Shi Bin asked.

"Of course, I tried to get my hands on it." Li Chao said without hesitation.

"Is this a bribe?"

"Of course, it's the most common way!" Sai Si Shi replied.

"Wouldn't it be best if we could sell this official without losing the word to others?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Isn't this a dream? How can you sell your official position without falling into the hands of others? Sai Xi Shi snorted coldly and said.

"Anything is possible! Let's just pull a few court officials to support us, and let the emperor know him no? ”

After Shi Bin's words were finished, Sai Xishi and Li Chao completely understood what he was thinking, and secretly sighed that his hand was dark enough.

"The eldest brother means that he first raided the homes of those corrupt officials and got a sum of money. Then make a false impression of a traitor, and jump into the pit of those who try to bribe. In this way, not only did he get a large sum of money, but he also rectified the rule of officials in Sichuan, which really killed two birds with one stone. Li Chaoyue said that the happier he was, and finally smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Okay, Shi Bin. When did you become so powerful? I'm afraid Wang San won't be able to think of such a ruthless strategy. Sai Xi Shi pointed at Shi Bin and said incredulously.

"Hehe, ma'am. Are you praising me or scolding me, why can't I hear it? ”

"Whatever you want." Sai Xishi didn't want to quarrel with Shi Bin on this, and said: "It's a good plan, but we can't make wedding clothes for others." You can make at least a million taels of silver in this, and you can't answer Yu Yu indiscriminately. ”

"What then? Madame, tell me about it. ”

"Simple. You tell Yu Jue about the first part of the plan, and don't tell him about the second half. I reckon that just raiding the homes of those corrupt officials should be able to deal with his immediate needs. ”

"Okay, that's it." Shi Bin responded.

"One more thing, don't go to his tent tomorrow. Pretending to be sick here..." Sai Si Shi laughed
