Chapter 513: A Failed False Shot

This kind of situation of leaving Yangzhou gloomily and only getting support from Jia Yidao when it is extremely critical is unacceptable to Shi Bin, which in his opinion is charity and shame. If it weren't for Jia Ling being Jia Yidao's daughter, Shi Bin would have wanted to grab 300,000 stone grains and grass directly from the Yangzhou granary back to Taiyuan, anyway, Song Ting wouldn't have anything to do with him now. Even if he had this kind of banditry, Song Ting could only pinch his nose and admit it, and at most he would only come to a few words of reprimand.

However, because he didn't want Jia Nidao to be embarrassed, he naturally couldn't do this, so Shi Bin could only return to reality and think about what to do to force out the old fox Jia Nidao, so that he would no longer hide, and let him finally agree to his conditions.

It's a pity that there is no way, Shi Bin, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Lu Wende and Xu Feng got together and discussed for three days, but they didn't discuss a way to force Jia Yidao, a good official who is 'considerate of the people of Li', back to Yangzhou.

As a foodie master, Shi Bin will never let his stomach be wronged because he can't think of a way, so when everyone is tasteless, he still eats all kinds of flavored dishes in Yangzhou with relish. For example: eight treasure gourd, grilled pig's head, colorful butterfly flying, Yangzhou Wuting Bridge, pipa prawn, chrysanthemum conch, braised silver carp head, stewed lion head, etc.

In his opinion, even if you can't get something this time, you can't come to Yangzhou in vain, you have to leave some thoughts, and eating is the best way.

Of course, everyone will not understand Shi Bin's strange theory, but they also admire him for being so 'atmospheric'. After all, he is about to leave Yangzhou and have to run for nothing, but he can still put his mind on eating, thinking about problems while eating, and using two minds, which is only available to people with great magnanimity.

"What to do, you say?" Jia Ling, the eldest lady, asked weakly, "I'm afraid my father won't come out until we leave." ”

"Why don't we take a shot?" Sai Xi Shi said: "Let's pretend to leave first, and after a few days of leaving, wait for your father to come out and then kill him by surprise?" ”

Shoot a shot and then kill a carbine? Everyone immediately nodded, saying that this was a good way, and it could indeed lure Jia Nidao out and catch him and not escape. Next, you can justifiably 'rejuvenate the teacher and ask for the guilt', so as to get the required grain and grass materials.

There is not much time, and all the servants in this Jia Mansion are Jia Nidao's servants, and specific matters have to be discussed outside. In case the partition wall has ears, this plan was told to Jia Yidao by a domestic servant, that is, the bamboo basket was empty.

Therefore, when Sai Xishi put forward this idea, Shi Bin immediately stopped the others from talking anymore, and just said: "This is not the place to speak, if you want to say it, go outside the house to speak." ”

This sentence woke everyone up and made them realize that the mansion was full of Jia Yidao's ears and eyes. The first few times Jia Ling pounced in the air, maybe it was the people in the house who approached the road to report the news after knowing the news. Naturally, I agreed with Shi Bin's statement and said that I would go to the canal to chat in the afternoon in the name of walking.

Because they finally found a way to lure Jia Yidao, everyone was excited. Because as long as Jia Nidao is really caught again, Shi Bin will never let him slip away, and will do everything possible to get Jia Nidao to agree to their conditions.

Soon it was afternoon, and Shi Bin left Jiafu for a walk in a sullen manner. When they arrived at the canal, they all immediately came to their senses, and Shi Bin took the lead and said, "When do you think it's appropriate to leave?" ”

"It's just right to leave tomorrow, we've been here for six or seven days, and it's been about twenty days since we left Taiyuan, so it's time to go back." Lu Wende said.

"That's true, tomorrow you can get up and go back to Taiyuan. It's just that before that, we have to build momentum, so that Jia Ling's father knows that we are leaving, and the sooner he knows, the sooner he should come out, and the more time will be saved. Sai Xi Shi said with a deep groan.

"It makes sense, then let's start building momentum tonight, and there will be some 'disputes' at night, and the quarrel is a matter of going or staying, and finally we will come to the conclusion that we will leave tomorrow morning." Shi Bin said, "There is still an important issue to be solved, which people should we leave behind to monitor Jiafu and pacify the Yamen?" This is very important and there is no room for error. Once we find out, we'll be busy. ”

After some discussion, Shi Bin decided to keep three guards who had never entered Yangzhou and had been staying on the ship to keep watch.

Everything was arranged, and everyone was naturally a lot happy, and when they were about to smile, Shi Bin smiled slyly: "I'm afraid we can't laugh so early."

Knowing that she was almost exposed, Jia Ling immediately laughed and changed to her previous sullen appearance. Although it doesn't look like it, it's still hard to see if you don't look closely. returned to Jiafu in such a dejected manner, in order to prevent accidents, Shi Bin immediately entered the wing, leaving only Xu Feng, the chief of the guard, to guard the door with a frosty face.

Who else would dare to approach this evil star? Shi Bin and the others were naturally a lot more relieved, and talked about some possibilities in a low voice, but those were irrelevant.

Soon it was evening, and everyone adjusted their strategy, not to start this dispute in the wing, but in the dining room, so that it was easier for the servants to hear, and naturally it was easier for Jia Yidao to know.

After the dispute, Jia Ling, a daughter who rarely returns to her parents' house, shed a few tears because of this. Ask Erzhuang to tell Jia Rudao that his daughter will always love her father, but she has to go back to Taiyuan with Shi Bin, and she will come back to see him next time she has time. Er Zhuang naturally agreed to convey these words, and comforted Jia Ling well.

Early the next morning, Shi Bin left Jiafu with everyone and his personal guards, went to the dock by the canal, and got on his own warship.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is definitely a major project that has attracted worldwide attention, connecting the five major water systems, and people can't help but have a kind of roar in the sky on this warship. If it weren't for Jia Ling's reminder, Shi Bin, who was admiring this beautiful scenery, almost forgot about the 'return to the horse gun'.

The reason why Jia Ling reminded them was not anything else, but that they had been leaving Yangzhou for eight days, but in fact, they had never gone north since they arrived in Huai'an, Jiangsu, and had been waiting for news on the dock.

Something is wrong, Jia Rudao is not a really considerate official of the people, and it is impossible for him to really go to the countryside to inspect, all he will do is hide in the small county near Yangzhou and wait for Shi Bin and them to leave. Now that Shi Bin has been 'gone' for eight days, Jia Rudao should have known the news, even if he was very cautious, he should have returned to Yangzhou, and he should never have disappeared without news so far.

This situation made Shi Bin anxious again, he didn't think that Jia Yidao could really predict the prophet, and the only reasonable explanation was that he had a way to know that he didn't really plan to leave Yangzhou.

On the ninth day, time was already very tight, Shi Bin couldn't calm down anymore, and pulled everyone to hold another meeting.

"We must go back to Taiyuan within half a month, which means that we will not stay here for five days at most, if we can't find my father-in-law within five days, and let him and Jiang Wanli agree to our conditions, then this trip will be in vain." Shi Bin said very seriously.

"The problem is that your father-in-law obviously knows that we didn't really go north to Taiyuan, otherwise we wouldn't have been hiding and not returning to Yangzhou City. How did he know? This doesn't work, so how can he show up obediently? Lu Wende said with some frustration.

"Brother Lu, I think I already have the answer to your first question. I guess we were targeted by my father-in-law from the beginning, and he didn't believe that we would leave so happily from the beginning. So he must have sent someone to follow us quietly, but we didn't find out. Shi Bin said, "The problem is that there are so many boats on the canal, how can we find the boat that is on the track?" If you find out, you should be able to find my father-in-law, but I can't guarantee that he will slip away again. So we're going to have to figure out a way to keep him out of hiding this time. ”

Can't hide? Huainan two roads, so the lobby is not easy to pacify, and it is not easy to hide? How is it possible not to hide? Shi Bin's words made Jia Ling feel a little absurd and uninhibited.

"Husband, Jia Ling's father is a pacification envoy from Huainan and the two roads, how can you make him have nowhere to hide?" Sai Xi Shi couldn't help but ask.

"I can't help it." Shi Bin sighed and said, "But it seems that we can only think in this direction, otherwise as long as my father-in-law is a little cautious, we will be in vain if we have escaped these days." ”

"Otherwise, let's just take advantage of the night to get off the ship now, drive the empty boat back to Taiyuan, and let's go to Yangzhou by land. If we don't find my father this time, forget it, we can only say that we can't get what we want. Jia Ling said weakly.

"Take advantage of the night to get off the boat and return to Yangzhou by land?" Lu Wende muttered, "Brother and sister mean that we will take another false shot, as for your father, it depends on luck?" ”

"That's what it means, Brother Lu. Anyway, my father didn't say he wouldn't help, and when my husband and I listened to the corner, he made it clear that he would support us, but when we needed it, not now. Jia Ling said with a wry smile.

Although I don't like this obvious way of gambling, this is the last resort, and even if everyone doesn't like it, they have no choice but to agree.

So after Shi Bin and the others arranged everything at midnight, they secretly got off the boat and went back to Yangzhou.

On the way back to Yangzhou, no one ever smiled, and they all looked like they were mourning, and everyone was tired of it. And they themselves were very irritable, and it was not until thirty miles outside Yangzhou City that they calmed down again.

"Tell me, what should we do with this last chance?" Shi Bin asked.

"How can it be used? Or sneak in and hide in the dark to observe. Said Seish.

"I'm afraid that's all it takes, brother." Lu Wende said with a wry smile.

"I'm really angry, Xiaoling, I obviously know where my father is when I see Erzhuang, how about we force him to say it?" Shi Bin said viciously.

When they heard that Shi Bin actually wanted to force Er Zhuang to tell where Jia Rudao was hiding, they were all surprised and couldn't help but dissuade them. Erzhuang has helped Shi Bin a lot, and he is loyal to Jia Nidao, so it is almost impossible to ask where Jia Nidao is from him. Therefore, once Shi Bin really does this, he will not only have a bad reputation, but most likely will have no effect.

After being persuaded to wake up, Shi Bin had no choice but to sigh and say: "Since you can't force it, then ask for it, it's always okay, right?" ”

In the end, it was decided that if no trace of Jia Nidao was found for two days, he would go to Erzhuang, and if he didn't succeed, he would return to Taiyuan.
