Chapter 601: Buckle Zhao Kui
Chapter 601: Buckle Zhao Kui
Because he didn't know whether the emperor wanted to kill himself or put himself under house arrest, Shi Bin didn't dare to stay in Lin'an City for a long time, and quickly went out of the city under the escort of Zhao Gang. When he arrived five miles outside the north gate, he had to be met by 500 men and horses, and only then did he get out of danger.
And everyone in the palace was busy in vain, and they were all angry. It is clear that Jia Yidao's protΓ©gΓ© has been transferred, and now he has been escaped by Shi Bin, which is really embarrassing.
But losing face is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the ambush and capture of Shi Bin will definitely be exaggerated by Shi Bin and say that the emperor is unkind, and it won't be long before the world knows about it. In this way, there will be more and more people who sympathize with and support Shi Bin, and there will be fewer and fewer people who are of the same heart and mind as the imperial court.
In order to prevent this ugly thing from being publicized, Zhao Kui had to chase after Shi Bin, hoping to talk to him again to shut him up.
Because he wanted to escape from danger, Shi Bin rode wild without stopping for a while. However, after all, there were more than 500 people, no matter how fast it was, it was not as fast as Zhao Kui's more than ten people, and he was caught up by Zhao Kui after running less than 30 miles.
Seeing the embarrassed Zhao Kui Shibin in front of him, his face was like a black cauldron, his eyes were round, and he said coldly: "Lord Zaifu, could it be that there are ambush soldiers nearby who want to capture me or intercept me on the spot?" β
"Lord Shi, where are you talking about, and where are there any ambushes? The emperor summoned you to the palace for an audience, but you did not enter the court, and then left without permission, so the emperor sent me to invite the adults back. Zhao Kui didn't intend to admit his mistake immediately, so he talked nonsense.
"Lord Zhao, if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do! I, Shi Bin, have been fighting for many years, do you think I can't even detect whether there are ambushes? At first, the outer court was indeed safe, but gradually it felt murderous, if I didn't leave, I'm afraid it would be a dead corpse now! Shi Bin sneered.
Now that he has been recognized, Zhao Kui knows that there is no point in quibbling, so he had to say that the ambush soldiers did not want to kill Shi Bin but only planned to capture Shi Bin, hoping to force back those chaotic soldiers and make Shi Bin's other subordinates dare not mess around.
Although he didn't doubt Zhao Kui's words, Shi Bin didn't plan to let Zhao Kui come over here so comfortably, so he scolded Zhao Kui for being a clever man, a person who deceived the world and stole fame, and was just a sanctimonious traitor.
Because he was at fault first, and wanted to persuade Shi Bin not to publicize this ugly thing, Zhao Kui could only let Shi Bin insult him and not say a word.
Xu Feng on the side felt refreshed and comfortable when he heard Shi Bin's scolding of Zhao Kui. Looking at Zhao Kui's suffocated appearance again, he felt even more excited.
It's just that he is still sober, and after Shi Bin scolded for a while, Xu Feng immediately attached to Shi Bin's ear and said: "My lord, it's good to scold, Zhao Kui's old guy can't bear it." Nothing looks good when something goes wrong. β
Xu Feng's words reminded Shi Bin that he was scolded in front of him that the prime minister of the dynasty was not a small citizen in the market, and he was old, so he stopped scolding but directly said that he would not go back.
Originally, he didn't plan to bring Shi Bin back, so Zhao Kui didn't bother with it, so he said bluntly: "Lord Shi, I'm here to discuss something with you." β
"What's the matter, Cho Jae-fu? Thou art mighty, thou hast turned thy hands into clouds and thy hands cluttered with rain, what do thou hast to consult with me? It really torments me! Shi Bin sneered.
Knowing that Shi Bin's yin fire had not dissipated, Zhao Kui didn't care, just said to himself: "I just hope you don't tell others about this." β
"What do you mean I don't want to tell anyone about this? Dare to do it, but dare not let people know
οΌ Besides, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Shi Bin sneered again after hearing this.
"Naturally, there is no impermeable wall, as long as Lord Shi does not deliberately promote and exaggerate, things will be much easier. After all, if the reputation of the court is too bad, it won't do you much good. β
If the reputation of the imperial court is too bad, the world will be unstable, and the support behind him will not be effective, which is indeed not much good for him Shi Bin. What's more, Shi Bin came to Shi Bin this time to ask for some benefits, not really to demolish the platform of the Great Song Dynasty.
"That being said, but is that all I was counted? Am I really an idiot? If I hadn't been alert, I would have been arrested and imprisoned by now! β
"Lord Shi, then what are you going to do so that you don't tell me about it?" Zhao Kui asked.
"I don't think I've thought about it, but it's still not safe now, so I'll go back to the camp first." When he was about to leave, Xu Feng said again: "Adults can take Zhao Kui with him, a rare opportunity!" β
Realizing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Shi Bin immediately ordered Zhao Kui to be tied up and brought back to the camp. never expected Shi Bin to come to such a set, and Zhao Kui, who became a meat ticket, regretted it. Apart from scolding Shi Bin for having no virtue, there is nothing else to do.
In the past, Shi Bin would have felt that this was wrong. But now it is Zhao Kui who is unkind first, so Shi Bin did not feel guilty at all, and even sang a song.
After Shi Bin returned to the camp, Wang San and the others saw that he actually tied up Zhao Kui, and immediately understood that Shi Bin had encountered a big risk in entering Beijing this time and had something to do with Zhao Kui, otherwise he would not be so rude.
"Big brother, what's the matter, why did you kidnap that Zhao Kui?"
"Come in and talk to me." Shi Bin didn't explain, but pulled Wang San into the handsome tent.
"Are you in danger in Jingshi?" Jia Ling asked anxiously.
"There is no danger. This time, thanks to Wang Shilang, otherwise he would have really fallen there. That Zhao Kuitou changed his father-in-law's protΓ©gΓ© to the day on duty day and night, replaced the person on duty with his cronies, and set up an ambush in the palace. If it hadn't been for the fact that Wang Shilang had come to remind him at midnight on the first day and provided a few reliable people to help, I would probably have seen the king of Hades by this time if I were not in the prison. Shi Bin smiled.
"Since you are fleeing from Jingshi, how did you kidnap him?" Sai Xi Shi asked suspiciously. Wang San and Jia Ling were also puzzled by this.
"It's a net he threw himself into. After I left, he was afraid that the matter would be leaked and damage the face of the court, so he came to chase me, hoping that I would not publicize the matter, because Xu Feng wanted me to take him captive. β
As soon as the words fell, Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi gave Xu Feng a thumbs up together and praised him for doing a good job. Shi Bin also knew that Xu Feng had done a good job, but he didn't want to care about these now, but was thinking about what to do next. How to use this thing to win a good situation.
"Now that Zhao Kui is kidnapped, what are we going to do? Song Ting tried to kill me but was unsuccessful but I tied up Zhao Kui, what if they were wicked and sued first? β
"The wicked sue first?" Jia Ling thought for a while and said, "It's possible, but they have no faith, we have to think of a way first..."
Sai Xishi was angry, and without thinking too much, he said that he could ask Shi Bin to publicize this matter first, so that Song Ting could not sue the wicked first.
After smiling helplessly, Shi Bin said, "Xi Shi, I think you are dizzy." Do you say that the people of the world believe the words of the imperial court or you and me? What's more, let's transfer troops without authorization first. Even if the court wants to arrest me, there is a reason, at most, they are said to be unkind, which makes everyone even more detached. Now that we are still bandits and kidnapped Zhao Kui, the reason is not on our side. β
"That's going to be
What do you think? You yourself said you were going to vent your evil spirits. Sai Xi Shi said with some resentment.
"It's to be angry, but it's not a war of words, not to mention that we can't beat those Wenchens in a war of words." Shi Bin smiled bitterly, "So I have to rely on Zhao Kui, the old horseman, to get angry." β
As soon as Zhao Kui was mentioned, Wang San and the others immediately came to the fire and discussed how to use Zhao Kui.
"Why don't we just use him to negotiate with the emperor?" After Sai Xishi, the female bandit leader, calmed down and said: "Now Zhao Kui is a meat ticket, if you want to redeem it, you have to exchange it for something." If Song Ting dares to sue the wicked first, we will shake out all these things that Song Ting has done, and kill or abolish Zhao Kui, the old horseman. β
"Will they believe that I am going to kill or abolish Zhao Kui?" Shi Bin asked rhetorically, "After all, he has also been a Zaifu for many years, and his prestige is very high, but I am afraid that the imperial court will not believe that I dare to touch Zhao Kui." β
"We have to find a way to convince the court that we dare to move Zhao Kui, it's best to have evidence, I'm afraid empty words won't work." Wang San said.
There must indeed be evidence to prove that Shi Bin dares to move Zhao Kui, otherwise this kidnapping will not be conducive to Shi Bin. It may seem a bit troublesome to others, but in Sai Xishi's opinion, this is pediatrics. So when Shi Bin was thinking about it, she smiled silently.
Of course, this situation is abnormal, so Shi Bin asked about her.
"You're a little stupid, you can't think of a way to do something so simple." Sai Xi Shi said proudly.
From Sai Xi Shi's words, everyone already knew that she was very sure of this matter, and Shi Bin opened his mouth and smiled: "We really forgot that Xi Shi is a female bandit leader, and she must be much more experienced than us in how to ask for ransom." β
I don't mind others saying that she is the female bandit leader, Sai Xishi coughed and said, "It's good that we can send a finger to the emperor." β
Finger? Although Zhao Kui was arrested, Shi Bin still didn't dare to harm him, nor did he want to harm him, so he immediately disagreed. Wang San also disagreed, and even Xu Feng came out to dissuade him.
But seeing that Sai Xishi was still smiling, he was not disappointed or angry because of Shi Bin's disapproval. This abnormal phenomenon let everyone know that there must be another mystery in Sai Xishi's method.
Of course, you can't deliberately rub it for too long, Sai Xishi quickly said: "I only said to send a finger, but I didn't say whose finger..." Then he laughed slyly.
Then came the show. Shi Bin first ordered someone to send a soldier who had committed a serious crime into the tent from behind, and then asked Xu Feng to put Zhao Kui into the tent. While cutting off one of the soldier's fingers, he slapped Zhao Kui with a rattan stick. The two of them screamed as miserably.
Zhao Kui was very smart and immediately understood Shi Bin's trick, but before he could speak, Xu Feng covered his mouth and immediately fainted. And the soldier was already fainting from pain.
It didn't take long for Zhao Kui's men to see Shi Bin coming over with a plate. Of course, I don't think it's a plate of gold and silver, but I can't guess what it is, so I'm nervous.
After approaching, Shi Bin lifted the linen cloth covering the plate and said with a smile: "This is a gift from me to the emperor, tell the emperor that Zhao Kui was detained by me, if you want him to suffer less, talk honestly and don't think crookedly." β
Looking at the fingers on the plate in front of them, these soldiers naturally subconsciously thought that it was Zhao Kui's. So he repeatedly said that he would tell the emperor Shi Bin's words word for word. In order to be considerate, they immediately fled from Shi Bin's camp and sent a letter.
