Chapter 565: The Partition Wall Has Ears (2)

Cheng Yuanfeng agreed with Shi Bin's words, and he also very much hoped to eliminate the estrangement with Wang Lixin. After all, under the same roof, they are already grasshoppers on a rope, so why pinch each other again?

"I believe that Wang Lixin doesn't want to be so stiff with you all the time, after all, no one likes enemies." Shi Bin said with a smile, "When Lord Wang comes, I will go out with him to talk about it first and make a foreshadowing." When I get back, I'll do what we agreed before. ”

"Okay, Brother Shi. It is true that no one wants to be on the lookout for an enemy all the time, even if that enemy is a righteous man. It's better to have more than one honest friend, rest assured, I will take care of the scale. Cheng Yuanfeng said solemnly.

Soon, Xu Feng came to report that Wang Lixin was already waiting in the living room. Shi Bin asked Cheng Yuanfeng to sit in the study and wait for the meeting first, while he went to talk to Wang Lixin.

"Lord Shi, what are you looking for me? Is it still the same thing of embezzlement and bribery? Wang Lixin said very seriously.

From his tone, Shi Bin sensed that he was ready to deal with the answer. smiled slightly, "Of course not, if these things were discussed directly in the yamen, why would I invite you to my home to talk?" ”

After thinking about Shi Bin's words, he thought that this was indeed the case, so Wang Lixin gave Shi Bin an inquiring look. There was still some anxiety in his eyes, as if he didn't want to wait for a long time.

"I just wanted to ask you what you think of Master Cheng Yuanfeng Cheng. I want a comprehensive and unemotional evaluation. That way I can figure out what to get him to do. I hope you speak truthfully, without any bias, and don't let me down in you. Shi Bin also said seriously.

These words made Wang Lixin feel surprised and puzzled. Because in Wang Lixin's opinion, it is best to understand that Cheng Yuanfeng is looking for Cheng Yuanfeng's own subordinates, and it is completely Shi Bin's business to decide how to use Cheng Yuanfeng, and it has nothing to do with him Wang Lixin. But since he was asked, of course Wang Lixin couldn't shirk it, so he could only think about it seriously.

It didn't take long for Wang Lixin to say: "Master Cheng is hardworking and capable, kind to others, fair and honest as an official, and good at dancing with long sleeves, but he is a little unscrupulous in doing things. ”

"According to you, Master Cheng still has a lot of advantages." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Yes, quite a few." Wang Lixin replied with some apprehension. And there is a sense of foreboding, and I am in the trap.

"Then why can't Lord Wang be friends with him? I know that you and he have reached some kind of tacit agreement and are willing to work together peacefully, but I don't think that is enough. One heart and one mind is what I want. Shi Bin said with certainty.

"But the lower officials just despise his unscrupulous style of doing things, which is really a bit despicable, not like an elegant person at all, but a despicable person." Wang Lixin said disdainfully.

"Lord Wang, this official also thinks that Lord Cheng is not so elegant, but I don't agree with your statement. Everyone has shortcomings, and we should look at his mainstream. You have said that he has so many advantages, but is it biased to oppose him because of such small shortcomings? I can't hide my flaws..."

Being fooled like this, Wang Lixin felt that he was stingy, so he weakly said that he would pay attention to the communication with Cheng Yuanfeng in the future and handle the relationship well.

Since Wang Lixin expressed his position, Shi Bin knew that the heat was almost over, so he immediately excused himself

The toilet left the living room and went to the study.

Seeing Shi Bin coming back, Cheng Yuanfeng obviously wanted to know the result of his talk with Wang Lixin, with a look of eagerness. And Shi Bin's happy appearance made him feel that things were mostly turning around.

"Do you know what Wang Lixin said about you?" Shi Bin smiled, "It seems that his opinion of you is not so bad, saying that you are hardworking and capable, kind to others, fair and honest as an official, and good at dancing, the only thing that is dissatisfied with you is that you do things by unscrupulous means." ”

"Really?" Cheng Yuanfeng asked.

"That's true. Later, when he listens outside the door, ask Brother Yuanfeng to express your appreciation for him and your opinion on him, so that people outside the door can hear clearly. Just let him feel your kindness and take your time with the rest. Shi Bin smiled.

"Then do as your adult says."

Next, Shi Bin and Cheng Yuanfeng chatted about business, and ordered Xu Feng to bring Wang Lixin from the living room and ask him to be the 'ear' outside the wall.

Because he had already designed it, he deliberately spoke loudly when Xu Feng brought Wang Lixin over, and repeatedly persuaded Wang Lixin not to worry, so that Shi Bin and Cheng Yuanfeng in the study could prepare.

Hearing the sound of footsteps and words in the corridor outside the door, Shi Bin and Cheng Yuanfeng knew that they were going to start acting.

"Master Cheng, what do you think of the situation in Hedong?" Shi Bin asked.

"Lord Shi, although the situation in Hedong is stable on the surface, in fact, the undercurrent is surging, which is not very good." Cheng Yuanfeng said very seriously.

Hearing Cheng Yuanfeng's voice in the house, Wang Lixin immediately stopped, turned around and was about to leave. How could Shi Bin's plan be frustrated? Xu Feng naturally grabbed Wang Lixin and asked him to wait outside the door, and wait for Shi Bin to finish talking with Cheng Yuanfeng before going in.

Although he hates Cheng Yuanfeng, he also wants to know some of Cheng Yuanfeng's thoughts about him, knowing that the other side can win all battles. Therefore, after being pulled by Xu Feng, he stopped and quietly became a 'listener'.

"Brother Yuanfeng, in the past month, you and Wang Lixin have made every effort to fight corruption, and the results you have achieved are obvious to all, and my brother is very happy and grateful." Shi Bin smiled, "It's not brother, I deliberately praised you and Wang Lixin, if this kind of thing falls on me, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Because I'm not good at anything other than using knives and guns. ”

"Lord Shi, your words can make the officials embarrassed. Most of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials are my subordinates and Lord Wang, and it is appropriate for us to punish our subordinates for their mistakes. The adults are already very merciful for not asking us about our sins, and the merciful people cannot do more evil things, and we naturally have to do these things. Cheng Yuanfeng said very sincerely.

"Brother Yuanfeng, in your mouth, my Shi Bin is murderous and has become a benevolent person, you are too good at talking." Shi Bin snorted and laughed.

"My lord, the murderer is not necessarily ruthless, but depends on whether the person who is killed deserves to die. Indiscriminate killing is naturally vicious, but if you are forced to kill, it is not vicious. Adults kill people to punish those brutal Yuan people and save those poor compatriots. If a person like an adult is not merciful, the lower officials will not know who is merciful. Cheng Yuanfeng said sincerely again.

"Brother Yuanfeng, you are really clever and tongue-like, no, your tongue is full of flowers, and it's not right. Forgive me for not having a little ink on my chest, I really can't find the right words to describe you talking..."

Cheng Yuanfeng didn't rush to speak, just waited for Shi Bin to finish speaking.

"My lord, this is called being able to speak." Cheng Yuan

Feng said softly with a smile.

After such a reminder, Shi Bin immediately smiled and said, "It is indeed the best for you to be able to say that it is the best for you." Well, even if I'm merciful. I would like to ask, do you have any better suggestions for governing Shaanxi? After finishing speaking, Shi Bin gave Cheng Yuanfeng a look.

Cheng Yuanfeng understood, and after a pause, he said, "My lord, it's best to call Lord Wang Lixin over to discuss this matter together." This kind of thing is most suitable for three people to discuss together, and any different opinions can be raised in a timely manner, and it is also convenient to unify opinions in a timely manner. What's more, the lower officials and Lord Wang have always been at odds, if they still discuss these things with the Lord behind his back, I am afraid that Lord Wang will misunderstand. This is not conducive to the governance of Shaanxi. ”

"Are you so worried that Lord Wang will misunderstand you? Brother Yuanfeng, I don't think Lord Wang will be so stingy. Shi Bin smiled.

Knowing that this is acting, since acting has to act like and act well. Therefore, Cheng Yuanfeng said vigorously that he didn't think that Wang Lixin was the kind of person with a small belly, but he was afraid of being misunderstood and deepening the conflict. It's all about safety. Then he talked about Wang Lixin's advantages, and only occasionally mentioned his shortcomings.

Shi Bin sighed, saying that he was too incapable to make the two capable people cooperate intimately. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yuanfeng also made amends and expressed his willingness to put forward opinions, but no matter what he said, Shi Bin kept it secret for him.

Cheng Yuanfeng's attitude of 'no matter what he says, Shi Bin will keep it secret for him' made Shi Bin in the house and Wang Lixin and Xu Feng outside the house all have great interest, and they all listened attentively.

"My lord, there should be three things we need to do at present, the first is to continue to fight corruption, the second is to hide the wealth from the people, and the third is to prevent the infiltration of the Yuan people." Cheng Yuanfeng said very cautiously.

"Prevent the infiltration of the Yuanren?" Shi Bin was very surprised by this, this question was something he had never considered. Because he thinks that his own territory has been run by himself like an iron bucket, needles can't be inserted, water can't be splashed, how can the Yuan people penetrate? Wang Lixin and Xu Feng, who were outside the house, had the same opinion on this as Shi Bin, and they both believed that the Yuan people had no possibility of infiltrating Shaanxi.

Knowing that Shi Bin didn't understand, Cheng Yuanfeng said patiently and very seriously: "My lord, people die for money, birds die for food, and people who forget their righteousness abound. Maybe the adult's territory is already inaccessible to the imperial court, and water can't be poured in, but this may not be the case for the Yuan people. After all, the Yuan people are powerful, if the adults do not beware, the Yuan people only need to use some means to cause great losses to the adults, and the embankment of thousands of miles will collapse in the anthill. ”

"Reasonable, what do you think we should do?" Shi Bin asked.

"This needs to ask the adults to call Lord Wang to discuss together. He is a transfer envoy from Shaanxi, and this kind of major event requires his participation. Xia Guan thought that he should be able to come up with a good solution, after all, he had been here longer than Xia Guan. ”

As soon as Cheng Yuanfeng's voice fell, Shi Bin feigned anger and said: "I forgot to talk to you, Wang Lixin was waiting for me in the living room, just now I asked Xu Feng to bring him over, but Xu Feng and Wang Lixin are still in the future." This guy is really getting more and more useless, why is he so sloppy? ”

Xu Feng and Wang Lixin, who were outside the house, immediately entered the study after hearing this. When he saw Cheng Yuanfeng, Wang Lixin looked ashamed, and Cheng Yuanfeng looked 'surprised'. The two of them were very embarrassed, and they didn't stand or sit, although Cheng Yuanfeng was pretending.

Shi Bin and Xu Feng on the side showed a sly smile on their faces, and it was obvious that this situation was what they were most happy to see. And they can't help but secretly praise Cheng Yuanfeng's awesomeness, if he acts, he must be a famous actor.
