Chapter 146: Changing the Dressing Without Changing the Soup

Unlike usual, Shi Bin got up early in the morning, didn't even sit down to eat, but just stood and nibbled on steamed buns, and at the same time stuffed two steamed buns and a fritter into Xu Feng's pocket, and ordered: "Give me to go and find Saizilong, the sooner the better." As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Bin also ran away.

When Sai Xishi heard that he was going to call Sai Zilong, or he looked so anxious, he immediately guessed that there was something important to hand over to him, which made her happy. By the way, he also glanced at Jia Ling, as if he wanted to see if she was a little unhappy.

To her surprise, Jia Ling smiled at her very kindly, and said: "Sister, serve the master well, if your brother does a good job, my sister and I will definitely say more good things about him and let him do more important work." ”

These words were like a slap in the face to Sai Xishi, and she suddenly remembered that Shi Bin was in Jia Ling's room the night before, and spent the Spring Festival with her. No matter how stupid Sai Xishi is, she knows who proposed to let Sai Zilong do the meeting, but fortunately, she didn't look like a villain just now, and now it is easy to turn, so she said to Jia Ling with a smile: "Thank you sister for your help, may I ask what the master said last night, I was so panicked to even have a meal this morning." ”

"It's not a big deal, but some nail owners refuse to go out to build roads. This kind of thing can't be solved by ordinary people, and my sister proposed to ask your brother to deal with it last night. I believe that you brothers and sisters have a way to deal with these leper dogs. ”

I thought it was a difficult question, so I had to call Sai Zilong to the backyard to tell him, but hearing Jia Ling say this was just a slightly troublesome trivial matter, but Sai Xishi was still very happy, after all, he affirmed their brother and sister.

Of course, her face was still a little ashamed, but Sai Xishi was a courageous woman, and she still thanked Jia Ling for her help with 'difficulty', and said that if Jia Ling asked her for help in the future, she would just open her mouth.

"Sister, what I want you to do is very simple, just help me tidy up my master's backyard and pacify the brothers." Jia Ling said with a smile.

This made Sai Xishi even more embarrassed, and finally couldn't stand it and found an excuse to 'touch up the makeup' and flew back to the boudoir.

Shi Bin's side is much simpler, and when Sai Zilong enters the door, he opens his mouth and says: "Uncle, I have something to trouble you today, there was a joke outside the city yesterday, I don't know if you have already understood?" ”

"I heard a little bit, saying that there were a few nail households when the road was being built, and I don't know the rest. Master, I'm busy with work, and the tasks you give me are actually very important, so I don't have much time to worry about this gossip. Sai Zilong replied a little impatiently.

"Don't worry, I think you're doing the right thing. If you spend all your mind on these idle things but it's not appropriate, then you can call it uncle in this house. It's okay if I'm younger than you, if I don't think it's appropriate, it's a big deal not to call me a brother-in-law. Shi Bin said with a smile.

"That... Uncle, I think Lord Wang Sanwang is much more capable than me, hasn't he done this yet? ”

"Indeed, not only did he not do it, but I also went out of the city yesterday and didn't do it, and our group of people didn't do it, so I guess you can do it, and you can definitely do it." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Shi Bin's tone of affirmation Sai Zilong had never heard of it before, and from the mouths of other brothers, he knew that Shi Bin was a very stable person, and it was rare to say such affirmative words, which made Sai Zilong both happy and nervous. I am glad that Shi Bin trusts him so much, but I am worried that he is afraid that he will not be able to do things well.

"Please tell me the reason for this. I was really surprised that Lord Wang Sanwang would fail, and then you went and failed, which is unreasonable. Sai Zilong said this from the bottom of his heart, and he said it very sincerely.

"It's so simple. At first, it was a group of rich people's daughters confronting our soldiers. Later, Wang San went to mediate, and the more he mediated, the more excited he became, and finally when I went to the shrews, the more shameless they became, and they also played scoundrels..." Shi Bin knew that these were definitely not good things, so his voice became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, and he even wanted to find a hole to drill through.

If he hadn't wanted to do things well and maintain his reputation, he would have cheated yesterday. Let's have an old man and see who can rely on whom.

Sai Zilong has been much more restrained since he came down the mountain, so he didn't laugh until Shi Bin finished the whole story, but his face was slightly flushed. Of course, Shi Bin would not be angry about this, for a bandit leader, it was already very good to be able to endure this.

Seeing that Shi Bin began to look at himself, Sai Zilong said with a smile: "Uncle, brother-in-law, I understand what to do." You guys, haha, are still too honest. It's actually very easy for such a female lai, anyway, you must be on this one thing today, why don't you go with me to see it? Is it learning to learn? ”

Shi Bin had already had this intention, and as soon as he heard Sai Zilong take the initiative to speak, of course he agreed, packed up and set off.

Along the way, Sai Zilong acted strangely, bringing only two of his entourage, and the rest were ruffians and hooligans he pulled out of the horns and corners of the city.

When those people arrived at more than ten mouths, Saizilong stopped pulling others, and asked: "Do you remember what to do with those rich nail households?" ”

As soon as they heard the word "rich", these ruffians immediately nodded with joy on their faces.

Obviously, there were a few who were a little hesitant, probably because they were afraid that Sai Zilong would cross the river and demolish the bridge, so Sai Zilong said: "Just follow your usual practice, as long as you control your mouth, you will be fine, and those benefits are yours." But who dares to leak wind in his mouth, hmph, I will not only make you unable to survive in Tanzhou, but also let him go to take a bath in the Xiangjiang River. ”

Although they are just some ruffians and hooligans, they actually have a deeper understanding of the black language, and taking a bath in the Xiangjiang River is not just a bath, but a trip to see the king of Hades. So these guys nodded like chickens pecking rice.

When he arrived about a mile away from the first big nail farm, Shi Bin was dragged by Sai Zilong and asked him to stay where he was to watch the play. He asked his ruffians to pretend to be heroes in the green forest to "rob the rich and help the poor".

After doing it for a long time, Shi Bin regretted it, but if you think about it carefully, the people who act are just some ruffians and hooligans instead of regular soldiers, is this the biggest difference?

Before I finished thinking about it, I saw a person dressed like a house slave running towards him, and when he saw Shi Bin's face, he shouted for help, and asked Shi Bin to help go to the official together.

"I'm the official, take it slowly, I'm Shi Bin, the general judge of Tanzhou." Lord Shi is now the Guanyin who rescues suffering.

Without saying a word, the slave led Shi Bin and ran to the farm where the gang of ruffians had just gone.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a mess, where is the mansion of a wealthy family, it is simply a garbage heap.

At this time, an old man limped out of the house, obviously knew Shi Bin, and when he saw Shi Bin, he came over and knelt down and said: "Lord Shi, please save my family, you can't let these guys continue to be so scourge, and then my family's savings will be gone..."

remembers that his wife was playing tricks in front of him yesterday and losing face. Of course, Shi Bin would put an official score on him at this time, and said slowly: "Outside the staff, I will definitely help." But you see that I don't have military power in my hands now, I'm still alone, I don't even have a weapon, and my two fists are hard to beat with four hands, aren't you trying to harm me? ”

This old fritter didn't understand the Tao in the middle, so he immediately took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his sleeve and stuffed it to Shi Bin, asking him to accept it.

To say that he didn't want to accept it must be fake, but he definitely can't accept it at this time, Shi Bin immediately feigned anger and said: "Outside, what do you mean by this?" Am I a corrupt official for the common people? Hum! With that, he turned his back and left, and walked quite fast.

Before he could take the second step, the old man seemed to suddenly open his mind, and immediately said, "Lord Tongju, otherwise, this is the case." Not only do I promise that I will absolutely support you in building the road, but I also promise that other conscripts will definitely participate, and I will never bother to urge you. ”

Walking to the door, Shi Bin slowed down, but still didn't turn around.

"Lord Shi, of course Xiao Lao'er wants to help, but his ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't turn all the nail households around to support you." The man was crying when he spoke.

"What do you mean, old man, that I would be so unkind? Well, for the sake of your loyalty to the country, I'll take a risk today. Shi Bin waited for the old guy to finish speaking, and then immediately turned around and helped him up from the ground, comforting him vigorously.

was acting, Shi Bin took Sai Zilong and his two relatives with three punches and two kicks to quickly 'drive away' a group of ruffians who had been robbed of a lot of money, but unfortunately they didn't 'catch' one.

Originally, Shi Bin wanted to 'catch' one as a scapegoat, but Sai Zilong deliberately rubbed his hand and lost his strength, failed to catch the ruffian, and let him run away.

It seems that this kind of thing doesn't even need a scapegoat, Shi Bin said secretly.

Later, when I thought about it, the scapegoat was only to come out when it was forced to come out, and the safest and most simple thing was to run away, what kind of scapegoat do you need? He couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's really stupid enough to learn and apply." ”

Now that the matter is settled, of course Shi Bin got up and wanted to leave, and there are two wives and a child at home. If it were other rich people with a conscience, he could leave his family alone for the time being, but he didn't want to see this guy in front of him. As long as he delivers on his promises.

Of course, this old rich man didn't dare to let Shi Bin and Sai Zilong leave so soon, who knows if those ruffians will make a comeback?

So he immediately ran to Shi Bin's side and handed over the fifty taels of silver tickets, and said earnestly: "Little Lao'er's family is in disarray, I don't have the face to invite the adults to dine here, but such a great favor is beyond repayment, and it is difficult for me to see the lord of the general judgment, so how about I ask the lord to deign to have lunch here?" ”

"It's not good, it's not good, you're already in a mess outside the old man, and it will take a lot of time to clean up later, how can Shi still stay here and bother? No, no, I understand the kindness of the old man. After finishing speaking, Shi Bin got up and walked out the door.

As soon as he saw that Shi Bin was leaving, the old guy immediately ran to Shi Bin and knelt down, begging Shi Bin not to leave, and to have a light meal.

Such a reaction was a big surprise to Shi Bin, knowing that it would be difficult to leave if he didn't agree to eat, if he was bent on leaving, maybe this old miser didn't know what the whole thing was, he didn't want to be unable to close the scene, so he had to borrow the slope and get off the donkey and said: "Thank you for being so kind, Shi Mou will bring his subordinates to bother here, but it's just a little homely." ”

It is estimated that they must be some delicacies from the mountains and seas that he has stored, but Shi Bin is too lazy to care, and it is not bad to enjoy the mouth. When it was time for lunch, the good tea on this table made Shi Bin think of "Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones".

"Outside the old man, we just talked about helping. Now Shi also wants to ask you for help, as if you mean that you can't turn all the nail households around, right? Shi Bin asked with a smile.

Looking at Shi Bin's smiling appearance, the smile on the old guy's face immediately stiffened, saying that it was more like crying than laughing, and he held it for a long time before he spoke: "My lord, I am at a medium level in Tanzhou, and there are at least five families with a lot of wealth than Xiao Lao'er, how do you say I can shake them?" Even if I try to convince them, they won't listen to me. They are all people in the court, although they are just some sesame mung bean-sized officials, but they are better than me, an old guy who doesn't even have an official body. ”

"Don't worry, this official won't be so unreasonable, since you're willing to contribute, I'm very happy. In this way, you can tell those who are stronger than you about today's experience, just tell it as it is, and don't have to be taboo about anything. As for those who are weaker than you, I believe that you have a way to do it, and if you are stubborn, you will tell what happened to you. ”

I've eaten for decades, why don't you understand the meaning of Shi Bin's words? At first, you may think that Shi Bin is really just going out, but now can you understand that this is the game he set up? Who called him one of the rising birds yesterday, and the female relatives in the family made him lose face?

At this time, the old guy regretted it, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: The gun shot the first bird, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Thinking about it, the old rich man knew that there must be no way out at this time, if he dared not to obey and did not try his best to help Shi Bin convince those nail households, his manor and fertile land would definitely be gone, and then there would be other nail households.

As the saying goes: Dead friends do not die poor. He said firmly: "Lord Tongju, I will definitely tell them these things, if they don't open their eyes, it will be their business." ”

Looking at the old rich man with great appreciation, in order to appease and appease this miser and let him do his best to help him do things, Shi Bin smiled and said: "Outside the old man, the losses you have suffered today are too heavy, and this official is also considerate of the people's feelings." If you can help me convince half of the nail households, you will be exempted from the fine, and if you can convince them all, even your most basic share will be waived. ”

This news made the old miser immediately refresh from his sluggish state, and said excitedly: "Thank you Lord Shi for being so generous, you are really the reborn parents of the little old man." ”

The word 'reborn parents' made Shi Bin goosebumps fall to the ground, so that he didn't sit down and slipped off the chair, but fortunately he was held up by Sai Zilong.

Seeing that Shi Bin didn't seem to sit still, the old rich man knelt down and apologized. Looking at his servile appearance, if he didn't want to leave him to do things, Shi Bin wanted to kick him away, so he could only continue to say with a 'smile': "How can the old man be like this? Wouldn't it be a loss for me to do this at such an age? Don't do that next time, remember. ”

Then the two of them continued to discuss how to make those nails soft.

In front of him was a soft nail household, of course, he couldn't say it clearly, so Shi Bin had to come to the side and knock on the side.

"Outside the old man, you said that you can't help those big families, because they have officials in the court, right?"

"Yes, but it's not a big official, at most it's just a county official. But it's much easier to do things with an official body, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the above will naturally not be pressed, they send so much benefit and then play tricks, this year will not have to take care of things. They have already handed it over at the beginning of this year, although they don't dare to do it against you, but they can still play tricks. ”

Indeed, Shi Bin continued to ask: "Then you tell me what troubles there are, and I will do these myself." If you do the rest, the official will not let you run in vain, and it will be beneficial. Shi Bin said with a smile again.

For this kind of guy who wants money and doesn't want to die, what he wants most is money, so he immediately changed his tone, saying that he would definitely persuade all the nail households to come over and support the road construction, and definitely not let Shi Bin worry about it.

Although it is only a few taels of silver and one or two laborers, in the eyes of these people, they cannot lose anything. So within five days, all the nail households in Tanzhou were gone, and they all willingly paid double the fine.

The most surprising side is that the rich man's house that has been patronized by ruffians and hooligans seems to not only have no loss, but seems to be richer...
