Chapter 435: Intimidation
Since the plan was to agree to some of Amur's conditions first, Shi Bin sent Xu Feng to deliver the news, but he himself did not go, so as not to fall into the net. ww?w?.? r?a?n?w?e?n?`c?o?m?
Shi Bin, who was waiting for news in the yurt, did not have a moment of peace in his heart, he was worried about Xu Feng's safety and worried that Xu Feng's revelation would cause things to deteriorate sharply. So I drank tea vigorously, hoping to use some tea to extinguish the fire in my heart.
This method was somewhat useful, at least he took some of his attention away, and he was no longer so anxious and irritable.
It didn't take long for Xu Feng to come back, bringing a piece of news that made Shi Bin's anger ignite again: Amur did not agree to reduce the amount of compensation, and insisted on asking for 5,000 taels of silver or 50 catties of tea. If you don't give it, then you have to find someone to 'judge'.
Judges? Everyone knows that this is a threat of force. He is the truth on his turf, and even if he loses, he can find his superiors to 'judge'
And then Amr still insists on so much? Shi Bin asked.
"I insisted on so much, and I said that there was no negotiation."
Hearing these words, Shi Bin felt a little frustrated, and it was a little unwise to fight with others here. After all, this place is more than a thousand miles away from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is troublesome to escape back, so he doesn't want to fight.
"Lord Shi, greedy people are all people who deceive the good and fear the evil, maybe we will not be so bad if we are stronger." Wang Lixin proposed.
Isn't it so bad to be stronger? What Shi Bin is most afraid of is that he is too strong, arousing Amur's anger, and really fighting with himself. But Wang Lixin also has some truth in what he said, if he doesn't show some strength, it is indeed easy to be blackmailed by Amur.
"Lord Wang is right. But what exactly do you do about this strong man? Is it the strength of the momentum or the simple display of force to make him afraid? Shi Bin asked, "Being strong in momentum can easily turn into a war of words, and things cannot be solved." If the force is shown, it is difficult to guarantee that the fight will not really start, at least it will be suspicious. ”
"So we have to find a way to increase our momentum without revealing it."
"The problem is, Lord Wang, this method is not easy to find." Xu Feng said with a sad face.
The atmosphere in the yurt suddenly became depressing, Shi Bin has always been a carefree faction and doesn't like to be suffocated. Now that he is suffocated by Amur to cut his meat, Wang Lixin and Xu Feng can't help him come up with a good way, how can he stand it?
Xu Feng, who understood Shi Bin's temperament, walked up to Shi Bin and said, "My lord, why don't we go out for a walk and blow the wind, maybe we can find a way." ”
I already hate this stingy yurt, so I had to live in it. Now that I'm not happy, I want to leave this ghost place even more, so I naturally got up and left without saying a word, and by the way, I also left with Wang Lixin.
Looking at the grassland in front of him, Shi Bin didn't feel very comfortable this time, he just wanted to burn it and slaughter all the cattle, sheep and horses in the distance to make sauce and eat them.
Obviously, things didn't go so well, Shi Bin didn't relax, and he and Wang Lixin didn't come up with any way. Soon it was time for lunch, and Xu Feng had no choice but to invite Shi Bin and Wang Lixin back to the yurt.
When he first entered the grassland, Shi Bin would eat a plate of beef with relish, and now when he saw this beef, his heart was on fire. As a result, he didn't hold back, and slapped the low coffee table into several pieces, and the beef was scattered on the ground.
Wang Lixin was taken aback when he saw this, and Xu Feng was also taken aback at first, but he soon calmed down and gradually laughed.
looked at Wang Lixin and Xu Feng with some embarrassment, and suddenly Shi Bin noticed the smile on Xu Feng's face. After staring at Xu Feng, he said, "Xu Feng, do you have something you want to say, or do you think of something?" ”
"Yes, sir."
"Tell me about it."
"Yes, sir. Just now, both the humble and Wang Lixin were frightened by the sudden anger of the adults. My first instinct just now was not to mess with you. I believe that Lord Wang also had an idea, right? Xu Feng said and asked Wang Lixin.
Wang Lixin also nodded again and again, saying that even if he wanted to speak, he had to say it well.
"Does this have anything to do with what we just talked about?" Shi Bin asked.
"Of course there is, and there is a lot of relevance. If the adults don't approve of a war of words or agree to start a fight with Amur, then you need to find a way to make Amur feel that he can't mess with you. Once it provokes you, it will get you into trouble. Xu Feng replied.
"And what's your solution?"
"The lowly way is to send a sharpshooter to Amur's side and make him feel the fear of death." Xu Feng said with a gloomy smile.
After understanding what Xu Feng meant, Shi Bin and Wang Lixin both felt good. As the saying goes, 'those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes', and the higher the status, the more afraid of death, especially this kind of unclear death. If Shi Bin and his gang played with hob meat, maybe Amur would really be soft.
"Okay, then you can send another message to Amr saying that I agreed to his conditions and asked him to come and collect things tomorrow." Shi Bin said to Xu Feng.
Hearing Xu Feng's letter, Amur didn't sleep all night. The death of a herdsman couple helped him earn so much, and he wished that all the people in the thousand households were dead, and he could sleep with gold and silver mountains in his arms.
The next day, Shi Bin and Amur each met at the gate of the Thousand Households with dozens of guards.
"Lord Batu, wouldn't it be better if you agreed to this condition? Aren't you tired of letting your subordinates deliver the news? Amur laughed disgustingly.
"yes, it's all because I'm being stingy. I didn't figure it out before, don't blame Lord Amur. Shi Bin apologized in a fake way.
"It's okay, it's okay. If only Lord Batu understood my difficulties. After all, I'm a dead man, and I can't say it if I don't give someone an explanation, right? Amr said.
"Yes. But I agreed, but my men disagreed. Shi Bin said very 'embarrassed'.
"Your men don't agree? Could it be that Lord Batu's subordinates are still so unruly and dare not listen to you? Amr said, "But whoever disagrees, Lord Batu, you will have to come up with five thousand taels of silver or fifty catties of tea." ”
As soon as the words fell, a guard behind Shi Bin rushed out and scolded in Yuanren's words: "Amur, you bastard, greedy and shameless, dare to blackmail my family like this, see if I don't kill you!" ”
Of course, he didn't believe that a little guard dared to do anything to him, so Amur looked at him with disdain. However, Amr soon did not dare to disdain, for his mount was blown off the head and lay on the ground after a slamming gun. He himself fell because of this.
Although they had heard that firearms were powerful, and some people in the tribes in the east used firearms to fight against the Song people, they had never seen it. Now that he saw it, Amur immediately didn't dare to be rampant anymore, for fear that his head would also be blown up. The attitude immediately softened a lot, and even behaved a little obscenely. He trembled and said, "Lord Batuu, how about you please let your men pin this gun to me?" Beware of accidental injury. ”
Shi Bin ignored these smiles and said, "Lord Amur, in fact, things are that simple. This firearm is also very simple, this kind of fire will not be fired continuously, and if there is no bullet in one shot, it will not hurt people again. ”
Amr breathed a sigh of relief at these words, but he still didn't believe Shi Bin's words, and still asked Shi Bin to let the guard put down his gun.
"Put it down, don't always be rude to our friends like that. It's not good to frighten Lord Amur. Shi Bin said angrily at the 'reckless' guard.
The guard, on the other hand, looked at Amr angrily, and it took a long time for him to slowly lower his gun, and on several occasions he raised the barrel again.
"Lord Batu, will you still give me the silver taels and tea you promised?" Amr asked.
is really a master who wants money and doesn't want his life, Shi Bin scolded in his heart. I was intimidated once, but I still thought about money, and I couldn't accept it. This made Shi Bin feel a little troublesome. Amr has obviously been submitted, so should you give him some more benefits? If so, how much?
Another shot from the other guard blew the head of one of Amur's guards' mounts, causing the guard to fall off his horse.
This episode was something Shi Bin didn't expect, he didn't expect a stunned person to dare to shoot without receiving his own order. But this unexpected episode can be useful. Before Shi Bin could scold the guard who shot without permission, Amr spoke: "Lord Batu, your subordinates are really fierce, and you can give as much as you want to give these silver taels and tea." Even if you don't give it to me at all, you can admit it. ”
With such a result, of course, Shi Bin would not immediately reprimand the guard who shot without authorization, but said in a fake manner: "Lord Amur, although we definitely didn't kill you, those horse bandits are probably really coming to us. Even if it wasn't for us, it would have caused you a lot of trouble, so I more or less took it in, which means something. ”
This time it was Amur's turn to be embarrassed, how much should it be? It's too much, what if Shi Bin's subordinates collapse themselves? If not, Amur's heart itched again.
"Lord Amur, how about I pay you ten catties of tea or a thousand taels of silver?" Shi Bin said.
A herdsman can exchange so much wealth Amr was also satisfied, and was about to nod, but found that some of Shi Bin's guards had a bad face, as if he wanted to shoot himself again.
It would be too worthless to be beaten to death by a few reckless men, so Amr did not agree with Shi Bin's suggestion, and said very modestly that Shi Bin gave too much, and he did not dare to accept it. But if you are itchy, of course, you won't want it at all, so you say that you want eight catties of tea or eight hundred taels of silver.
I thought it had dropped enough, but I didn't expect that the few guards next to Shi Bin still had evil looks, obviously dissatisfied with their compromises.
For the sake of safety, Amur had no choice but to 'painfully' say that he only needed five catties of tea or five hundred taels of silver.
Sensing Amur's abnormality, Shi Bin looked at it with his spare eyes, and the guards on both sides were all fierce and vicious, obviously as long as Amur dared to mess around, he would look good again.
Of course, we can't let our subordinates be so unruly, because this will cause great damage to the prestige that we have so hard built up. So he coughed heavily, "What do you want to do?" Lord Amur is a friend, not an enemy, so be polite! ”
"I see that Lord Amur is a little embarrassed, so I will make a decision for my lord. How about I give you five catties of tea? Let's make friends. Shi Bin said with a smile.
He didn't want to mess with Shi Bin for a long time, but now that he is willing to say 'make friends', Amur immediately agreed. After taking the five catties of tea, Amur flew away, and said that his Shibin of the Thousand Households could come at any time, and he would definitely treat him well.
