Chapter 514: Erzhuang's support
Waiting was painful, this pain lasted for twelve hours, and Shi Bin couldn't bear it anymore, because he still didn't find any trace of Jia Yidao, and in the end he just had to find Erzhuang.
Seeing his eldest lady and uncle go and return, Er Zhuang was naturally very surprised at first, but he understood their purpose in an instant, so he didn't panic. As Jia Yidao's entourage, he is just simple on his face, but he understands it very well in his heart.
"Miss, uncle, why are you back again, did you leave something in the house? If so, just send someone to deliver a letter, I'll send someone to send it, why do you want to come back and run this trip yourself? Er Zhuang asked with a smile.
"I didn't leave anything in the house, I just wanted to find Erzhuang to nag you." Shi Bin grinned.
Knowing that Shi Bin can speak well, he also likes to chatter and set up a dragon gate array, but this time he is definitely not here to talk to himself, but to know the traces of Jia Nidao through him, Er Zhuang immediately became cautious when he thought of this.
"Miss, aunt, Erzhuang still has some things to do, I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with you." After Er Zhuang finished speaking, he pulled his legs and left.
It's a pity that today's Erzhuang wants to go but can't, all four directions are blocked, and he is surrounded in the middle. He was just a small guard, and among Shi Bin's five people, he couldn't even provoke Xu Feng, the lowest-level deputy general, so he could only stop.
Since this is the case, Er Zhuang can only bow his head with a bitter face and remain silent, which can be regarded as a silent protest. How could Jia Ling endure Erzhuang's protests? Naturally, it didn't take long for him to lose his temper and scold Er Zhuang for being an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, and he didn't know how to repay his kindness.
was provoked like this, Er Zhuang really couldn't keep silent, and defended himself vigorously, saying that he was by no means an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, but a person with a conscience.
Hearing Er Zhuang claim to be a 'man of conscience', Jia Ling immediately sneered, saying that his skin was thicker than the city wall, and his style was bigger than her, the eldest lady of the Jia family, and he had to block two sentences when he stopped.
Finally couldn't stand Jia Ling's agitation, Erzhuang's psychological defense collapsed, and he said: "Then may I ask the eldest lady and uncle what they want to ask Erzhuang, if they can answer, I will answer." ”
"It's pretty much the same, even if you still have a little conscience." Jia Ling smiled coldly and said, "Why have you, the personal guard of the Huainan Two Roads Pacification Envoy, been derelict in your duties in the past few days?" ”
Malfeasance? This is the first time Er Zhuang has heard someone use it on him. He believes that he has always been faithful to his duties and has never been derelict in his duties. But I feel that Jia Ling is not making trouble unreasonably, there is still some basis, but I can't think of where the basis is, so Er Zhuang is very confused.
Because he couldn't think of why, Er Zhuang was a straight man, so he said a little unhappily: "Miss, you said before that I was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, and I put up with it, but this time I said that I was derelict in my duties, so I couldn't bear it." I would like to ask the eldest lady to tell me, where am I derelict in my duties? If the eldest lady is talking nonsense and wronging Erzhuang, then I will go and tell the lord and ask the lord to educate you. ”
was not nervous because of Er Zhuang's words, Jia Ling smiled very confidently, and said the reason for his dereliction of duty: as a personal entourage, he did not follow the chief for ten consecutive days, it must be dereliction of duty. Such a reason makes Er Zhuang unable to defend himself, indeed, not being by the prefect's side for ten consecutive days is a dereliction of duty in any case.
Seeing that Er Zhuang was silent, Shi Bin came out to speak, "Er Zhuang, we know that it's not you who want to derelict your duties, but that my father-in-law asked you to derelict your duties." You want you to watch us in the house, right? ”
Now that he has been recognized, what else has been deducted, he just nodded lightly.
"Do you think we're here to ask my father-in-law for some support?" Shi Bin asked.
From the bottom of his heart, Er Zhuang felt that Shi Bin had done the right thing, but his chief was Jia Nidao, so he finally chose Mingzhe to protect himself, saying that Shi Bin's question was a bit deep, and he couldn't comment on it with a small family.
Unexpectedly, Er Zhuang looked simple but he was also a slippery head, and he was really close to Zhu and red and black to ink, Shi Bin smiled helplessly, gave Jia Ling a look, and asked her to ask.
"Erzhuang, do you know how many people you will save if your master, that is, my father, is willing to support my uncle?" Jia Ling asked angrily.
"I don't know" Er Zhuang is just a personal follower, he doesn't care so much.
"At least 200,000 civilians! You don't have to worry about food and clothing in my Jia family, but what about the ragged and yellow-skinned refugees on the street? What do they eat and drink? Don't you think you're too selfish like that? ”
"Miss, this" Er Zhuang is a thin-skinned person, unable to withstand this moral offensive, and quickly admits that he was wrong.
"Since it is wrong, it must be corrected, and knowing the mistake can improve the great. Do you know how to change it, Erzhuang? Shi Bin took over and asked.
Erzhuang didn't understand the meaning of Shi Bin's 'change' at first, but looking at the faces of Shi Bin and the others, he finally understood that this was to ask him to help win support from Jia Rudao. But how to help Er Zhuang couldn't think clearly, because he was just a personal follower, how could Jia Rudao listen to him?
"Erzhuang, I guess you know where my father-in-law is, right?" Shi Bin smiled slyly.
He was about to say 'I know', but before he exited, reason told him that he couldn't say 'know', so he said, "I don't know." ”
Obviously, Er Zhuang knew where Jia Yidao was but didn't want to say it, and Jia Ling, the eldest lady, immediately became angry and scolded. said that Erzhuang was cunning, hypocritical, selfish, and indifferent, but all the bad words she could think of were used on Erzhuang.
Maybe it's because of the scolding, Jia Ling, the eldest lady, completely forgot that Erzhuang also has the limit of patience. When Er Zhuang was about to run away, Shi Bin immediately came out as a firefighter to extinguish the evil fire in Er Zhuang's heart. When Jia Ling still felt inexplicable, she was forcibly dragged away by Shi Bin.
Back in the wing room where she lived before, Jia Ling already understood why Shi Bin treated him like this, but she was still very dissatisfied with his rude behavior. Therefore, from the moment he entered the door, he was sullen and kept silent, and he didn't even look at Shi Bin.
After such a stalemate for a while, Lu Wende spoke: "Brother, you're not right, just ask your brother and sister to stop talking, why are you still dragging it hard?" It's not your style, or apologize to your siblings. Brother and sister, don't be angry, Brother Shi did too much just now, and you have something wrong. We came back to ask Erzhuang for help, but you scolded. If it weren't for Shi Bin's quick reaction, Er Zhuang would have run away angrily, and we really wouldn't have been able to do anything. ”
Lu Wende still has the ability to talk back and forth like this a few times, and the ice directly between Shi Bin and Jia Ling began to melt, although he hasn't spoken yet, at least he no longer ignores each other.
"What to do? Erzhuang knew the purpose of our visit, but obviously didn't want to say it. Shi Bin said.
"Although he doesn't want to say it, I think his heart is still relatively soft, why don't we go and talk to him about the suffering of the common people, maybe he can stop obeying your father-in-law's orders and tell us your father-in-law's whereabouts." Lu Wende said.
"I can only try, but maybe Sister Ling can't go." Sai Xishi explained: "We have been tired of driving and riding these days, and Sister Ling must be a little tired after she has just lost her temper, so it's better to rest and rest." ”
Everyone understood the meaning of Sai Xishi's words, it was nothing more than that they were afraid that Jia Ling would lose her temper again. Therefore, they all thought that Jia Ling must be 'a little tired', and it was better to leave her in the wing room to rest. After that, Shi Bin took Lu Wende, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng to find Erzhuang again to talk about the truth. Even if he knew what Shi Bin's uncle was doing, Erzhuang didn't hide, and he didn't seem to be nervous when he looked at it.
"Erzhuang, the eldest lady was too excited to hurt you before, don't mind, I apologize to you for her." Shi Bin said with a smile.
Where did Er Zhuang dare to hate Jia Ling, naturally he repeatedly said that he knew Jia Ling's temper, and he would not mind if he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
"You know why we're here, right, Erzhuang? Of course, it is wrong for the eldest lady to say that you are cunning, hypocritical, selfish, and indifferent, but you should not ignore the suffering people either. Uncle, I must be selfish, but I still don't think it's completely selfish."
"Then what should my uncle do if he wants to be Erzhuang?" Er Zhuang asked.
"Would you like to take us to my father-in-law? I know, you know where my father-in-law is. Shi Bin smiled.
"I do know where the master is, but I'm sorry, Erzhuang, I can't tell my uncle where the master is." Er Zhuang replied with some guilt.
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if you help me find my father-in-law, it will save hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, which is a great good deed. Good people have their own good rewards. Lu Wende said on the side.
It's a pity that Er Zhuang just kept his head down guilty and kept silent. Lu Wende couldn't help but say a few words back and forth, but Er Zhuang still didn't let go. What a tough bone! Shi Bin sneered.
This time it was Shi Bin's turn to move the real fire, and without saying a word, he pulled Er Zhuang out, and when he got to the street, Shi Bin pushed him hard and asked him to take a good look at the mother and son who were begging at the corner of the street.
was pushed and staggered, originally unhappy, but as soon as Er Zhuang saw the mother and son, he was no longer angry, but lowered his head in shame again.
"Erzhuang, I remember that you were also an orphan back then, and you were picked up and raised by my father-in-law." Shi Bin said coldly.
"Yes, uncle."
"If it weren't for my father-in-law, you wouldn't know where you died, wouldn't you? Now that you have lived a good life with my father-in-law, you have forgotten your book and your past. I want you to help this little favor and push back, I think Xiao Ling is not completely wrong to say that you are a white-eyed wolf. The more Shi Bin said, the lower Erzhuang's head became, and in the end, Shi Bin only saw his skull and couldn't see his face.
In the end, he couldn't withstand Shi Bin's moral attack, and Er Zhuang expressed his willingness to help them find Jia Yidao. But it was only Shi Bin who went to look for them, and he himself only provided the location, not in person.
Knowing that this was Erzhuang's greatest support, Shi Bin didn't ask too much, and quickly expressed his gratitude, and agreed to go to Jia Nidao immediately after lunch.
