Chapter 568: Attitude

After accepting Shi Bin's gift, Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin did not leave Shi Bin immediately, but were left by Shi Bin to drink tea. Originally, I didn't want to stay for tea, but after coming and going like this, most of the morning had passed, and I couldn't do anything, so I simply accepted the invitation to stay and drink tea with Shi Bin.

said that he was drinking tea, but in fact, Shi Bin had other plans in his heart. He was wondering if he could use this infiltration of the Yuan people to make Shaanxi more monolithic, and it was always good to have fewer loopholes.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Bin spoke: "Two adults, do you think there will be any loopholes in the handling of those wavering officials that I just said?" ”

"Vulnerability?" Cheng Yuanfeng was puzzled, in his opinion, Shi Bin's method of both soft and hard was both benevolent and effective, and there were no loopholes.

Looking at Cheng Yuanfeng, Wang Lixin knew what he was thinking, so he said, "Lord Shi, the lower officials feel that your method has no loopholes. After all, there are still not many people who are so mad that they only want their own fame and fortune regardless of the interests of their family and country. Even if there are some, as long as we grasp the important departments, they will not be able to help the Yuan people set off any big waves, at most they are just a few small waves. ”

"That's true, what we said before were those who were half-hearted, but what about those who have actually betrayed the Great Song Dynasty but have lost their way?" Shi Bin asked.

Lost? Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin both showed an extremely disdainful look at this time, and Cheng Yuanfeng even said: "Since you have betrayed, don't think about getting lost." If you can turn back at will, wouldn't that be conniving at officials to invest in yuan? Therefore, the opinion of the lower officials is that they cannot be allowed to turn back, and their betrayal will be severely punished, and they will be punished by the nine clans! If the adults think it's too cruel, then at least the three clans! ”

This call made Shi Bin feel that the lives of the Great Song Dynasty were indeed like grass mustard, and he casually opened his mouth to be the nine clans of Zhulian, the three clans of Zhulian, and dozens of people died as soon as they died, and maybe even hundreds.

"What if the lost officials bring back useful information?" Shi Bin asked.

"That..." Cheng Yuanfeng hesitated.

"My lord, the lower officials think that traitors should be punished as Lord Cheng said, but if there are people who can still know their way and provide useful information, they might as well spare their lives. But they must continue to lurk within the Yuan people to work for us, on the condition that they do not kill their families and clansmen. Wang Lixin said.

Shi Bin could accept this method, but he couldn't forget the two tigresses on the side, so he asked Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, "Two ladies, what do you think of what Lord Cheng and Lord Wang said?" ”

Jia Ling has a high status, and she said first: "The two adults said very well, and the slave family also has something to say." We must ask the court for the right to dispose of it cheaply, and we can't do things without doing well, this kind of loss can eat a lot. After all, our approach is a bit overdone. ”

This is the proposal that Shi Bin, Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin admire the most, because only in this way can they do things with peace of mind and not be afraid of being framed by villains.

"My sister is right, and my sister has something to say. We should put some people in the mansions and yamen of various officials, and observe all the officials in the vicinity, which should be more effective than observing them from the outside. Of course, the mansions and yamen of Lord Cheng and Lord Wang are excepted. ”

The word 'spy rule' flashed in the minds of Shi Bin, Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin, although they hated it, they knew that it was also a last resort. Therefore, the three of them finally agreed to Sai Xishi's proposal and agreed to let Sai Zilong carry out this task.

Since a solution was discussed, Shi Bin then let Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin leave.

"Now you can rest assured." Shi Bin smiled at Jia Ling and Sai Xishi.

"If it weren't for our sisters, I don't think you would have said anything about Batu being a lobbyist today." Jia Ling snorted coldly.

smiled awkwardly, because Jia Ling was right, Shi Bin wanted to simply say this more than once.

"If you feel too uncomfortable to hold on

, the concubine is willing to give her husband an idea. Sai Xi Shi smiled proudly.

"Madame, please!" Shi Bin urged.

"Why didn't the husband send someone to keep an eye on Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin? Since the Yuan people will come to woo the husband, won't they go to woo them? In the opinion of the concubines, the two of them have already been infiltrated by the Yuan people, but the Yuan people have failed. Now that the Yuan people have arrived in Xi'an, the concubines don't believe that the Yuan people only come to visit their husbands, but they don't visit Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin. ”

After such a reminder, Shi Bin and Jia Ling both suddenly realized that Sai Xishi was very intelligent. Shi Bin immediately ordered his men to stare at Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin, and immediately reported to him when he found Yuanren's whereabouts.

After Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin left Shifu, they felt a little puzzled about Shi Bin's sudden concern for Yuanren infiltration, but this doubt dissipated not long after the stacks of official documents on the desk.

But after more than ten days of calm, Batu became restless again. not only went to Shi Bin's mansion once, but also went to Wang Lixin's mansion once, but was beaten out by Wang Lixin.

Shi Bin, who heard the news, was not only not worried, but became happy, because this is a big weakness, if he is used by someone with a heart, Wang Lixin will lose his life if he is not careful. In order to protect himself, Wang Lixin had no way but to cooperate with himself.

But Shi Bin didn't plan to puncture Wang Lixin at this time, so he had to let him brew it himself. And I also have to look at the situation on Cheng Yuanfeng's side, not to see if the Yuan people will go, but to see how Cheng Yuanfeng will treat Batu, a spy.

After five more days of hibernation, Batu appeared in Cheng Yuanfeng's mansion. It's just that Cheng Yuanfeng's attitude towards him is very interesting. Because Cheng Yuanfeng never returned home, he was left there all day, and finally Batu left alone.

It's normal to treat people you don't like in this way, but it's a bit crazy to treat a dangerous spy, and it's easy to cause misunderstandings and irreparable consequences.

In order to understand Wang Lixin and Cheng Yuanfeng's behavior more thoroughly, Shi Bin called the two female Zhuge to discuss it.

"Xiaoling, Wang Lixin's performance is very easy to explain, it is nothing more than to avoid suspicion through this kind of dislike of Yuanren. But is Cheng Yuanfeng's approach easy to cause misunderstanding? It is still possible to let such a spy stay in the mansion for a day, even if they do not meet, and leave a letter. Shi Bin said puzzled.

Smiling slightly, Jia Ling said: "Husband, if someone wants to harm Wang Lixin, even if Wang Lixin beats Batu to death on the spot, he will be sent to prison." Therefore, the key is not Wang Lixin's attitude, but whether someone wants to harm him, and how much self-protection he has. Because Wang Lixin met with the spies of the Yuan people after all, who can guarantee that they did not reach any secret agreement, and Wang Lixin's fight against Batu was not a play before? ”

"My sister is right. Sister, I think Cheng Yuanfeng is smarter than Batu in this regard, because he has never seen Yuanren in any case, even if someone wants to harm him, there is nowhere to start. As for the so-called possible letters, they are of no use as long as they are not found. Sai Xi Shi said with certainty.

"It seems that Cheng Yuanfeng is really a powerful character, much smarter than Wang Lixin. It should be time to summon them to me. Xu Feng, go and invite Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin, I want to have a good chat with them. Shi Bin smiled.

During this time, Wang Lixin was 'unpleasant to eat, unable to sleep at night', the whole person lost weight, and he walked so lightly, he may not feel it when he got closer. And Cheng Yuanfeng continued to eat and drink spicy food, but he gained a lot of weight, and his footsteps could be heard from afar when he walked.

Seeing this situation, Shi Bin was a little crying and laughing, and sighed that the gap between people and people is so big? One actually became a sick seedling, and the other became a rich old man.

In any case, you must care about the weak first, so Shi Bin asked with a smile: "Why does Lord Wang look like this?" Have you been too tired to rest lately? ”

"Thank you Lord Shi for your concern, Xia Guan just occasionally feels cold, just take medicine for two days, don't worry about it." Wang Li's confidence was weak, and he said weakly.

Turning to look at Cheng Yuanfeng, Shi Bin smiled and said, "Master Cheng, you too."

It's a bit exaggerated, but you've actually gained weight in ten days, isn't it a period of negative slacking off, just remember to satisfy your appetite? ”

Cheng Yuanfeng's face remained unchanged, and he grinned: "My lord, although the lower officials are delicious, they will not slack off, you have wronged me." It's just that I've really eaten something good these days, and if you don't mind, I'll invite you to my house another day to try it. ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Shi Bin immediately smiled and promised loudly that he would go, asking Cheng Yuanfeng to be ready at all times.

Now that the appetizer is served, it's time for the main course. However, Shi Bin did not go straight to the topic, but talked about the problem of preventing the infiltration of the Yuan people before.

Since the two of them can make observation and transport, they are naturally not stupid, they can know the autumn in one leaf, so before Shi Bin finished speaking, their faces changed. But Wang Lixin's face showed anxiety, and Cheng Yuanfeng's face showed a smile.

"Lord Shi, it seems that you already know about me and Lord Wang being harassed by the Yuan people." Cheng Yuanfeng said very calmly.

"Yes, and I'm surprised by the way you both deal with the Yuan people's spies, one is to beat them out of the house, and the other is to simply leave them on that day and let the spies leave by themselves. It's really interesting. Shi Bin smiled, "You two rest assured, I, Shi Bin, will not suspect you Tongyuan, you are all loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no reason to Tongyuan." ”

"Thank you for your trust." Wang Lixin said impatiently.

"Thank you for your trust." Cheng Yuanfeng said calmly.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I don't have to be suspicious of people, I will trust you as always. And you should have guessed that I was also infiltrated by the Yuanren, but I didn't say it, right? ”

Naturally, this could not be said 'yes', Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin were silent immediately.

Seeing this, Shi Bin laughed and said, "I have indeed been infiltrated by the Yuan people, and I know where they are hiding, but I still haven't caught them. I secretly sent him out of the government after seeing him. ”

Wang Lixin was very surprised and a little moved by Shi Bin's initiative to say this, after all, this shows that Shi Bin has already regarded him as his own, otherwise he would not tell himself such a confidential matter. Cheng Yuanfeng also felt the same way after hearing this, and once again said that only Shibin was looking forward.

I don't care if Ma Shou is Zhan Shibin, because the empty promise of white teeth is meaningless, what he wants is practical action.

"The stakes are high, and I am telling you about it at great risk, and I hope you will not let me down. I want to know what you think of this Yuan Ren and how you are going to deal with them. Shi Bin asked.

Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin are just ordinary officials and have no experience as agents, so they didn't react to Shi Bin's question for a long time. After all, this is not an ordinary chat, and saying a wrong word can cause a big disaster, so they don't dare to speak easily.

"There is no need to be so restrained, and the one who speaks is not guilty. You should know that I'm not the kind of person who will make decisions easily, and when you are done, I will discuss with the two ladies, and I am not sure that I will not act, so you don't have to worry. Shi Bin smiled.

"Then the lower official will say it." Cheng Yuanfeng opened his mouth and said: "Xia Guan thinks it's best not to catch that Yuanren's spy for the time being, just stay here to spy on it." ”

"Spying?"

"Yes, spying. Xia Guan didn't think that the Yuan people only sent such a small group of people to infiltrate Shaanxi, there must be other people, but we didn't find out. So you have to be patient and catch big fish. Cheng Yuanfeng said.

"What about you, Wang Lixin?" Shi Bin asked.

"My lord, the lower officials think that Lord Cheng Yuanfeng is right, we should put a long line to catch a big fish. And it is necessary to speed up the pace of inserting personnel into the residences and yamen of those suspicious officials, and not let the Yuan people take advantage of it. ”

"Okay, then for now..." His stomach suddenly gurgled, it turned out that he was going to have lunch, Shi Bin smiled awkwardly. He said, "It's almost lunch, so you can stay here and have lunch with me, and we'll continue to talk later." ”
