Chapter 279: Counterattack

Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that were taken away by Shengsheng and the false accusations he suffered in a daze, Shi Bin couldn't sleep at night, and within three days, his face was sallow and his spirit was sluggish.

No one wants to see Shi Bin like this, but it seems that it is useless to admonish and appease, Shi Bin is still difficult to rest, the only thing that is reassuring is that the diet is normal, and the amount of food is bigger than before and greedy.

In other words, Shi Bin is just sleepless now, and he doesn't know what to eat.

"Sister, how can you say that your husband can do this? No matter how much you eat and sleep, your body will collapse sooner or later. Sai Xi Shi said anxiously.

"I also know this, but Xi Shi, now that my husband has not untied the knot in his heart, what can I do?"

"Heart knots? Isn't it just the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and a reprimand? Worth caring so much? Sai Xi Shi was puzzled.

"You don't understand that. The husband obviously has never suffered such a big loss, he has never been kind, and he never thought that he would be framed for fighting against the Yuan, this is not as simple as a little silver and a reprimand. ”

"But didn't he also suffer from the previous incident between Li Yuxi and Zhao Gang?"

"How can this be the same? Li Yuxi and Zhao Gang's affairs were indeed inappropriate, so even if they were punished, there was nothing to say. But this time there was nothing wrong with it, and it was a great achievement to discover the Yuanren conspiracy and stop it in time. But he was framed for destroying the peace of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, how could he swallow this breath? ”

understood why Shi Bin was so depressed, but Sai Xishi still pulled Jia Ling together to discuss ways to make Shi Bin return to positivity.

"Sister Xi Shi, I have a way. But I need your help. ”

"Say, I'll definitely help! As long as I can make my husband positive again, I will do anything! ”

Jia Ling sneered, "You don't have to say it so scary. It's just a play. Come over with your ears. ”

Then when he came down, Sai Xi Shi went back to his room, put on his bright silver armor, took his weapon and rushed out of Shi Mansion along the corridor in front of Shi Bin's study, while Jia Ling shouted vigorously behind him, "Sister Xi Shi, what are you doing here?" How can you do something stupid? Money can be earned again, and so can the Holy Dependents! ”

Shi Bin, who heard Jia Ling shouting, ran out of the study and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Sai Xishi, how do I feel that she seems to have run out with a weapon in hand?" ”

"Nonsense, just running through your door and you haven't seen it yet? She said that she would kill Zheng Qingzhi and Ding Daquan, two old horsemen, to avenge you! Jia Ling said viciously.

"Really, it's really a bandit, how can you want to kill the minister of the dynasty? This is a capital offense! Even if you want to die, you have to come to the dark, how can there be such an open fire? If you really want to do it, maybe it will hurt everyone. ”

"What nonsense, go and chase her back!"

Shi Bin immediately found Xu Feng and asked him to take someone to the east, west and south gates to find it, and he and Jia Ling went to the west gate. Soon he found Sai Xi Shi at the north gate, who was visiting the market, but he did not see her holding a weapon and wearing armor.

When Shi Bin also arrived, Sai Xishi and Jia Ling looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Why is Lord Shi energetic now?" ”

I wanted to scold Sai Xishi, but after hearing this, Shi Bin couldn't say anything anymore, but was a little ashamed, "Sort of, thank you two ladies for caring so much." However, this is only temporary, and I am not at ease if I don't take revenge, and I'm afraid I don't have much heart to deal with government affairs. ”

"You're so entangled? Can't you slow it down? Wait for a year or two, wait for your strength to become stronger, and then unite your father, Zhao Kui, and Wu Qian to completely defeat Zheng Qingzhi and Ding Daquan? Jia Ling admonished.

"Madame, I can listen to you on other things, but you must listen to me on this matter! I must find a way to deal with them within three days, otherwise I won't have to be the Jingnan pacification envoy!" Shi Bin shouted angrily.

understood that Shi Bin would never give up if he didn't do this well, even if he didn't do enough to appease the envoy, but he was likely to slack off, which was too bad, so he had to agree to his conditions.

Summoning Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Wang San to the inner room, Shi Bin said: "I must know the purpose of calling you here today, it's not that I don't know how to forbear, but I really can't bear this breath." It's not that I want to fight to the death with Zheng Qingzhi and Ding Daquan, but I have to teach them a lesson! Okay, let's talk about it and see what you can do. ”

Soon Wang San came up with a solution: contact several ministers who had a disagreement with Zheng Qingzhi to work together to say that Zheng Qingzhi connived at his son to sell his official position, causing chaos in the court, and he should be strictly investigated and punished.

What Wang San said is indeed a good way, Zheng Qingzhi's son is indeed selling his official beard, and he is indeed causing trouble to the dynasty, so as long as the emperor is willing to investigate, Zheng Qingzhi will inevitably suffer a huge blow. Even if he is not dismissed, he will be demoted, even the emperor can't protect him.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, who heard Wang San's words, both clapped their hands and said again and again that they would do what he did. Because if such a heavy blow is realized, not only will Zheng Qingzhi be hit hard, but it will definitely deter Ding Daquan's obscene villain, and Shi Bin's evil breath will come out. However, Shi Bin lowered his head and remained silent at this time.

"Husband, how do I think you don't seem to approve of such a good method as Wang San?" Jia Ling asked very puzzled.

"I'm not talking about fighting to the death, your accusation is a serious crime, then I, Zheng Qingzhi, and Ding Daquan will definitely not die."

"So what else can I do? That guy has a big tree and thick roots, and he can't easily pull it down. Jia Ling said very dejectedly, "Could it be that you are still slowly consuming it with him?" ”

"I didn't want to knock him down this time, and I guess he and Ding Daquan didn't expect to knock me down this time." Shi Bin said calmly.

"Then let's try to find some charges with a lot of room for manoeuvre to detain him."

"Xi Shi is right, this crime of selling officials and causing chaos in the dynasty is too big, it will inevitably cause him to fight back with all his might, and if he accidentally hits a snake, he will not be bitten by a snake."

Even if they came up with something, everyone was hungry and simply went to the restaurant to eat. After only two mouthfuls of food, Jia Ling shouted angrily: "What the hell is this, so salty?" Cook, call me the cook who doesn't know how to cook! I want to ask him what kind of incapable second goods did he learn this cooking skill, how dare he come to my Jiafu to be a cook! ”

knew that Jia Ling was angry at this time, and no one could touch her moldy head except Shi Bin, but Shi Bin turned a blind eye this time and let her reprimand and scold the cook who made a mistake.

Seeing this, Sai Xishi and Wang San also kept silent and didn't come out to be good people. Jia Ling was enough to beat and scold alone, and when she was tired, she asked someone to pull down the unlucky cook who was beaten all over her body.

was about to ask Shi Bin why he didn't come out to be a good person this time, but he spoke first: "It's happy, isn't it?" Isn't it surprising that I didn't advise you to let the cook go? ”

Jia Ling naturally wouldn't say that she seemed to be ignorant, but she still wanted to know why.

"First, the cook is indeed at fault, and it is okay for you, the housewife, to beat him. Second, I was thinking about this salt just now. ”

What's wrong with salt? He hasn't found a way to deal with Zheng Qingzhi yet, how did Shi Bin think of the issue of salt again? This is something that the other three cannot understand.

"Do you remember my Salt Gang Waist Card?" Shi Bin smiled gloomily.

If you don't understand what Shi Bin thinks at this time, Jia Ling and the three of them are really idiots. Sai Xi Shi couldn't help but immediately said: "This method is good, better than Wang San's method." not only dealt a blow to Zheng Qingzhi and deterred Ding Daquan, but it was not enough to let them and their husbands fight endlessly. After all, even if it is verified, Zheng Qingzhi can still have a way to protect himself and his son, as long as he finds a few people as scapegoats. ”

After the discussion was completed, Shi Bin immediately contacted Jia Yidao, Wu Qian, and Zhao Kui to participate in Zheng Qing's book. Zheng Qingzhi must have refused to admit it, and the emperor immediately sent Wu Qian to check for Qin.

After checking for half a month but finding nothing, Shi Bin felt a little strange, and couldn't help but admire Zheng Qingzhi's cunning and sophistication, and he actually escaped.

Knowing that if Wu Qian couldn't find out something, it wouldn't be long before the emperor came to reprimand him for his irresponsible nonsense. Naturally, he couldn't waste his efforts in vain, so he was still scolded, so Shi Bin immediately summoned Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi to discuss countermeasures.

"Then Zheng Qingzhi is too cunning, Wu Qian obviously doesn't want to offend him, he just copes with things."

"Husband, what should I do? Last time, it was Zheng Qingzhi's old horseman who stabbed the black knife and we suffered a loss, could it be that this time we stabbed the black knife or did we suffer a loss? Jia Ling said unwillingly.

"Of course it can't be like this, that's why I'm calling you here to discuss. There will always be a way, not to mention that his son is already smuggling salt, as long as he catches his braids. ”

"Big brother, I remember the last time you said that this salt gang was not only the son of Zheng Qingzhi who was in charge, but also other important officials of the imperial court. Did Wu Qian not dare to make enemies on all sides to deal with things? ”

Wang San's words made Shi Bin wake up like a dream, this salt gang Lu Wende brothers participated, in fact, they were all involved, maybe Wu Qian himself was also trapped, how could he try his best to investigate?

"Quick, go to Yangzhou. When I went to see Wu Qian, I said that we only dealt with Zheng Qing alone, and there was no ill will towards other colleagues. Shi Bin immediately stood up and said.

After arriving in Yangzhou non-stop, he visited Wu Qian, explained his intention, and the atmosphere in the house was harmonious.

"Master Wu, please forgive me for acting recklessly, I forgot to inform you that I just want to teach Zheng Qingzhi a lesson this time, and I don't want to fight with him, let alone involve other colleagues."

"I see, I'm relieved when Lord Shi says that. The one you participated in can be big or small, and I know that you don't want to get too stiff with Zheng Qingzhi, but you did do it a little recklessly. It's rare that you are willing to make it clear, in that case, this officer is willing to help you with your staff and staff. ”

"Oh Jae-fu, my attitude is very simple. I took my Yangguan Road, and he crossed his single-plank bridge, as long as it was all anti-yuan, and I hope he didn't stretch his hand too far. I don't care about this time, but he has to play and plead guilty. Shi Bin said happily, "And the same is true of the attitude towards Ding Daquan and Lord Ding." However, if they insist on interfering with me, Shi Bin is not afraid, but it is not a good thing to lose both sides when the time comes. ”

"Guilty of the play? I'm afraid this request is too much. The official has a way to make Zheng Jae-fu stop meddling in his affairs, but he can't let him play and plead guilty. ”

"Forget it. I only ask Wu Zaifu to tell my colleagues that Shi Bin will never block the way of people and money to harm his colleagues, and this time he is indeed here for Zheng Qingzhi and Ding Daquan. ”

"Okay, Lord Shi insists on this, and I can't help it. I will bring your words, and if you really catch Zheng Qingzhi's evidence of trafficking in illicit salt, this official will still handle it impartially. Wu Qian said with obvious disappointment.

knew that Wu Qian still didn't mean to actively investigate the case, but just promised to help him resolve some contradictions, so his visit was a failure.

Back at the inn, although Shi Bin was not depressed, his face was not happy, Wang San of course guessed the result, so after dinner, several people gathered in the room to discuss countermeasures.

"That Wu Qian is also an old treacherous and cunning, and he doesn't scatter eagles if he doesn't see rabbits." Shi Bin said angrily.

"Then let's get a rabbit out!" Sai Xi Shi said viciously.

Get a rabbit out? Shi Bin seemed to understand this, but he didn't fully understand it. I had no choice but to throw my inquiring gaze over.

"Simple, Zheng Qingzhi's son is mercenary, and with Zheng Qingzhi covering him, he must not be very worried about this crime. Let's pretend to be a salt lord, as long as we give enough temptation, he will most likely take risks to sell smuggled salt. ”

"What does it mean to be tempted enough? If you want to tempt him, the eldest young master must cost a lot of money, if it fails, it will be a loss to the lady and a soldier. Jia Ling said to Sai Xishi with some worry.

"I understand what my sister means. We all pay the deposit first and then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, right? Seeing Jia Ling nodding, Sai Xishi said again: "Why can't we get back the money spent after the transaction?" ”

Shi Bin looked at Sai Xishi, looked left and right, as if he saw the female bandit leader again, and saw the day when he was tied into meat dumplings and went up the mountain.

"Female bandit leader, what do you mean is that we will tempt him to do business with us first, let the people of Yangzhou Mansion ambush them in advance at the place of delivery, give them personal stolen goods, and then redeem our own people. As for our money, it seems that Xi Shi wants to treat the young master Zheng like the two masters did to me back then? Shi Bin said gloomily.

"The husband is really powerful, that's it. I believe that the prefect of Yangzhou will give you face and let you redeem people, and Zheng Qingzhi does not dare to gamble with his son's life, so he will definitely give out the money. In this way, the purpose of striking Zheng Qingzhi and deterring Ding Daquan should be achieved. Sai Xi Shi nodded happily and said.

Looking at Shi Bin and Sai Xishi, Jia Ling and Wang San seemed to be looking at a pair of male and female thieves. Where does Shi Bin still have the appearance of a high-ranking official, he is completely a copycat bandit.

This plan is thorough, Wu Qian also promised in advance that if there is evidence, he will also handle it impartially, and now everyone has obtained the stolen goods, and there are indeed people from the Zheng family who sell smuggled salt, Zheng Qingzhi can no longer rely on it, and he was severely reprimanded by the emperor.

And the Zheng family's meat ticket did help Shi Bin, they not only wanted to return the tens of thousands of taels of deposits for buying private salt, but also made an extra 60,000 taels, although they still lost a lot, but this bad breath came out, and Shi Bin and his party happily returned to Dingzhou.

Zheng Qingzhi in Lin'an City angrily scolded his son and smashed the antiques and jade at home, and Ding Daquan didn't sleep well for three nights.
