Chapter 329: Cunning Yuan Ren

The direction has been set, and the next step is to take practical action, Shi Bin's first target is Uncle Xie Fang, a shameless old horseman.

In Shi Bin's opinion, if Song Ting couldn't hold on, Uncle Xie Fang would definitely be the first to surrender in Kaicheng. In order to find Uncle Xie Fang's 'incriminating evidence', Shi Bin forcibly arranged nearly 20 surveillances on the third floor and the outer three floors of Xie's mansion, and surrounded his mansion so that he didn't even want to sneak out with a mouse.

It is a pity that the Xie family's mansion has been monitored for half a month, except for some shameless people who came to bribe officials, and they have not seen a single Yuan person enter or leave.

Zheng Qingzhi, Wu Qian, and Zhao Kui are the same, and the ministers they suspect are just doing some things like accepting bribes and selling official positions, and they don't collude with the Yuan people.

As a result, Shi Bin and Zheng Qingzhi were both depressed, exhausted their efforts and ended up busy in vain, and in the end they didn't see the shadow of a single Yuan person.

Shi Bin in the private room of the inn cried with a sad face, there are clearly a lot of Yuan people in Lin'an City, why can't he even catch a small fish and shrimp? Is it because the Yuan people are too cunning, or is the Great Song Dynasty now a wall that is already breathable, and it can't keep secrets at all? So how can we catch the cunning Yuan people and block the windy wall of the Great Song Dynasty? As a result, my scalp was numb and I didn't come up with a reason.

Even if you understand that such a utopian dream is meaningless, it is better to think about how to do it. So Shi Bin simply changed the question: how to catch the first Yuan spy on the first Yuan.

At first, thinking about Sai Zilong's previous attitude of not agreeing to take Young Master Zheng as an entry point and Zheng Qingzhi's possible reaction, Shi Bin was a little hesitant. But now he, Shi Bin, and the three Zaifu of the court and the central government have not found a single spy of the Yuan people, and Shi Bin is too lazy to scruple so much. Directly ordered Xu Feng to bring Sai Zilong to the private room.

As soon as he entered the door, Sai Zilong saw Shi Bin's gloomy face and recalled the investigation report of the past few days, he immediately knew why Shi Bin was angry, and said very carefully: "My lord, are you looking for me?" ”

"If I don't look for you, why did I ask Xu Feng to call you?" Shi Bin said coldly.

It seems that he has been hit hard, and he is estimated to be angry, Sai Zilong said secretly. At the same time, I also understood why Shi Bin called him and why he was so pale to him, because he was the one who forcibly prevented Shi Bin from breaking through from Zheng Dagongzi, and later the compromise method was proposed by Xu Feng. But in this way, Shi Bin lost his original direction step by step in the next negotiations with Zheng Qingzhi, resulting in the current situation.

And Shi Bin also knew that he himself had to bear half of the responsibility for this failure, because he didn't stick to the method he discussed with Sai Zilong and Xu Feng in the end. But how would he, the boss, admit it? Of course, I want to find Sai Zilong to be the one who bears the black pot, who told him to make it clear that he was against spying on Zheng Dagongzi?

In order to ask for 'leniency', Sai Zilong said tremblingly: "My lord, are you unhappy because you didn't catch the Yuan people this time? ”

"What do you say?"

I had never seen Shi Bin look so yin and yang, Sai Zilong didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only answer as humbly as possible, saying that he would definitely catch the Yuan people in the shortest possible time.

"How short is the shortest? One month? Trimester? Half? A year? Or longer? ”

"This..." Sai Zilong was so suffocated that he couldn't say a word, so he could only be stunned there and not speak.

"What is this? Hurry up and come up with a solution for me, if you can't figure it out, be careful with my baton! ”

It seems that Shi Bin is on the verge of collapse, although Sai Zilong feels wronged, he still understands, Shi Bin has never shot short, and this time he shot with the three bigwigs and actually shot all of them short, which is inevitably not regarded as a great shame.

However, when he heard that he couldn't think of a way to be beaten with a military stick, Sai Zilong casually said the suggestion made by Xu Feng before: secretly follow Master Zheng, or find a breakthrough from him.

"Or is it the same way?" Shi Bin asked with some disappointment.

"The lowly and resourceful are not enough, so I can only think of this method. Perhaps, maybe there would be a better way to call Xu Feng to him. ”

Xu Feng? Shi Bin calmed down a little when he heard this name, indeed, the method that Sai Zilong said was what he proposed. Thinking of this, Shi Bin immediately called Xu Feng, who was standing guard outside the house, into the room to inquire.

"Xu Feng, I decided to use the method you mentioned before to secretly follow Young Master Zheng. But you'll have to tell me what you think. ”

"My lord, I think that I secretly follow the eldest young master of the Zheng family to find the spies of the Yuan people in Lin'an, and I am at least eighty percent sure." Xu Feng said to Shi Bin with certainty. After speaking, Xu Feng paused cautiously, waiting for Shi Bin's attitude.

"Go on, tell me where this eighty percent certainty comes from."

"My lord, Master Zheng went to some casinos and green buildings, and the personnel were mixed, so we were good at hiding but the Yuan people were also good at hiding, but as long as we were careful, we would always take the lead if we had a mental calculation or not, and we should be fifty percent sure that we would find them. If our people can follow and not be discovered by them, they should be able to discover the Yuan people on the line of Zheng Dagongzi, which is another thirty percent. But if you want to completely eradicate the Yuan people in Lin'an City, I am afraid it will be difficult, and these last two percent of the subordinates dare not speculate. ”

"It makes sense, then what do you mean is that the matter is divided into three steps, the first is to discover the Yuan people's spies, the second is to follow but not arrest, and the third is to fully grasp the activities of the Yuan people in Lin'an before implementing the final arrest?" Shi Bin asked.

"My lord, this is exactly what I mean. The lowly duty must remind the adults that this move must not be in a hurry for quick success, and must not be arrested in a hurry. Xu Feng obviously had a very heavy sense of responsibility, and after finishing speaking, he also told Shi Bin to be cautious.

"I know this, thank you for reminding me, but I still have a question for you and Zilong."

"Your Excellency, please speak." Xu Feng and Sai Zilong replied in unison.

"Is this matter suitable for others to know, if it is found out that the Yuan people are involved in Young Master Zheng, what will happen next? How do we explain the process of arresting him? Since it is secretly surveillance, it is definitely impossible to let the Yuan people and the Zheng family be implicated in the slightest. And we can't inform the rest of the adults, so we can only do it privately. ”

The question raised by Shi Bin is a roadblock, if you can't explain clearly in the future, why everything is in vain, it will even backfire and completely offend Zheng Qingzhi. So Xu Feng and Sai Zilong continued to think along Shi Bin's train of thought. Since this problem was not difficult, it didn't take long for Sai Zilong to come up with a solution: use the Yuan people who were connected with other officials to fill this number, and detain the shit basin to the head of another surrendering faction, and let him be a scapegoat, and that person deserved to die anyway. You must know that a Yuan spy will not only contact one capitulation faction, but should attack everywhere.

After setting the plan, Shi Bin's subordinates no longer cared about Uncle Xie Fang, but stared at Zheng Dagongzi's every move, and reported his daily behavior to Li Shibin, but there was still no progress at first.

One day, Shi Bin didn't feel the slightest sleepiness because things had made no progress, and sat on the steps to watch the moon. But I heard that someone went to the toilet and that there were husbands and wives struggling.

As soon as his head was excited, he immediately ordered Sai Zilong, that is, how many times Master Zheng went to the toilet at night and slept with which concubine he slept with, he had to report it to him.

After some careful follow-up investigation and careful screening, Sai Zilong was sure who the Yuan spy next to Zheng Dagongzi was—his favorite third concubine.

When Shi Bin saw the report handed over by Sai Zilong, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't expect that the spy was next to the pillow of Young Master Zheng, and he couldn't help but sigh at the old spicy of the Yuan people.

Now that you have found a thread, the next thing is much easier, just pull the next thread out with gentle force.

It didn't take long for Shi Bin to show a spy net arranged by the Yuan people in Lin'an City. Peddlers and pawns, landlords and wealthy merchants, high-ranking officials and petty officials, it can be said that they are everywhere.

The infiltration of the Yuan people into the Great Song Dynasty to such an extent was something that Shi Bin never expected, and now he is at a loss as a knife. He would never be able to shake such a large network on his own, so he still had to ask Zheng Qingzhi and a few guys to help.

I had already discussed with Xu Feng and Sai Zilong before, the Yuanren spy in this cylinder would not have anything to do with Young Master Zheng, and in order to prevent leakage, Shi Bin did not arrest him, but went to Zheng's mansion again.

Seeing Zheng Qingzhi in the study, he frowned, and understood that he was in internal and external difficulties, and it was estimated that he would be a little unable to bear it and would return to heaven if he was not careful. At this time, Shi Bin felt that he was the Guanyin who rescued the suffering, and he came to save the poor man Zheng Qingzhi. So he sat down lightly and said with a smile and a kind tone: "Lord Zheng, Shi is here to bring you good news, I believe that after you know it, you should be able to regain your loyalty to the country." ”

looked at Shi Bin with tired eyes, and definitely felt that he was joking, so he spoke: "Master Shi, Zheng thank you for showing mercy to my subordinates, but I am almost running out of oil, even if there is good news, I am afraid that it will not last long." ”

"Lord Zheng doesn't have to jump to conclusions so early, it's not too late to hear me." Shi Bin said with a grin.

Shi Bin is still a steady person, but now he seems to have something very good, Zheng Qing thought, so he squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Lord Shi, please speak." ”

"My lord, Shi has just found out that some of the Yuan people's spy dens in Lin'an City, and a few are still being verified, I wonder if this can be regarded as a bowl of ginseng soup?"

"My lord, didn't you joke?" Zheng Qingzhi exclaimed.

"Master Zheng, why am I okay with you? Do you have nothing to do? Anyway, I'm also a big player. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Lord Shi, Zheng lost his words, please don't blame you. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Qingzhi frowned again, and his face became heavy.

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with Ling Gongzi." Shi Bin said solemnly.

Nothing to do with his son? Zheng Qingzhi felt incredible after listening to Shi Bin's words. I tried my best to investigate it before to no avail, but now that Shi Bin has found out, can it have nothing to do with his son?

Zheng Qingzhi really came to his senses at this time, and immediately sat down and said: "Lord Shi, it's not that Zheng Mou can't trust your lord, I have seen everything you did before in my eyes and in my heart." But can you tell me how you found out where that Yuan man's spy is? ”

"Lord Zheng don't have to worry, I learned the news from a wealthy businessman's relative in the Ministry of Officials, aren't we all doing business? And the rich businessman often smuggles goods from north to south, so can't you pay a little attention? Shi Bin smiled a little weirdly.

As soon as he saw Shi Bin like this, he knew that this was to help his son get rid of his crime and let the damn rich businessman be a scapegoat, Zheng Qing's heart was clear. He didn't say much about the old fritters, just a very simple sentence: "Thank you, I dare not forget this feeling, if there is something to know." ”

"My lord doesn't have to be like this, don't we have to continue to unite and dig out those Yuan people and spies? Let's talk about the rest later..."

Since Zheng Qingzhi is the fourth Zaifu, of course, he is as good as a stream, so he didn't say more, and personally sent Shi Bin out of the mansion.
