Shen Bing went back to the house to wipe his body briefly, changed into clean clothes, and hurried to the prince's study to wait. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But he saw that there was someone in the study who arrived earlier than him, and it was Hou Xin, another member of the government affairs temple and the department of commerce and trade. The two came out of Beijing together from the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and they belonged to the iron team of the prince, and their friendship was naturally not shallow.

As soon as Shen Bing saw that it was him, he asked professionally, "What are you doing here?" Isn't it at home for marriage leave? ”

Hou Xin smiled, pulled him to sit down and said, "I don't know what to do, anyway, the prince called me, I'll come." ”

Shen Bing sat down to take a breath, then thought of a possibility, glanced at Hou Xin suspiciously, no matter how much he teased, he didn't say a word.

The two didn't wait long, and Qin Lei, who was refreshed, appeared at the door. Shen Bing and the two hurriedly got up and saluted, Qin Lei smiled and said, "Sit down, let's just talk casually." After Shi Dang served tea to the three of them, he walked out lightly, and did not forget to close the door casually.

Qin Lei sat behind the wide desk, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Hou Xin, how are you doing with your new daughter-in-law?" ”

Hou Xin smiled when he heard this: "It turns out that getting married is different, and the difference between it and going to the kiln is too great." ”

Qin Lei was curious: "What's the different method?" ”

"You don't have to give money...... Hou Xin said with a sneer.

As soon as Shen Bing picked up the teacup and took a sip, he 'pounced' on the ground when he heard the words, spewing out a mist more than two feet away.

Qin Lei also slipped off the chair with his butt, if it weren't for the soft carpet, he would definitely fall.

Hou Xin hurriedly helped the prince up, and said with a smile: "I'm joking, how can I compare myself with my daughter-in-law, each has its own strengths." ”

Qin Lei scolded with a smile: "It seems that your feelings for Sister Yao are quite deep. ”

Hou Xin said to Shen Bing with a mouse's eyebrows: "What is the saying?" How can house flowers have the fragrance of wild flowers, isn't it. ”

Shen Bing was originally a cold person, and he had grass in his heart, how could he have the leisure to quarrel with him, and said with a straight face: "Pay attention to your appearance." ”

Hou Xin laughed and muttered: "Boring ......" but he still sat down honestly, no longer full of nonsense.

Qin Lei saw that he was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "My own people, it's not a big deal to be casual." Hou Xin hurriedly got off the donkey and said: "My subordinates got a little carried away just now, and Brother Shen taught me a lesson." Shen Bing smiled and didn't speak.

Qin Lei hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Hou Xin, your marriage leave will end in two days, do you have any ideas?" ”

Hou Xin smiled: "I don't have any ideas, it's just that this marriage leave can be extended a little more." ”

Qin Lei squinted and smiled: "Impossible, you have to come to work as an errand tomorrow, and the day you are missing will be regarded as punishing you for not being dedicated." ”

Hou said with a hard face: "Okay." What a mouth, really. ”

Qin Lei glared at him and asked as if unintentionally, "Do you still want to go back to your Commerce and Trade Division?" ”

Hou Xin smiled like a chrysanthemum and said: "The prince said this, I just got out of the way," and said with a begging god: "I don't want to work in the Commerce and Trade Department for a day, it's not exciting at all, and it doesn't fit my character." ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Then the lonely one is reluctant to make it difficult, and I will find you the most exciting job." ”

Hou Xin nodded like pounding garlic and said: "The more exciting, the better, it's best to be like Brother Shen's ......."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Lei smiled and said, "Why don't you replace Shen Bing, he is just about to be released." ”

Shen Bingwei was stunned, and saw the prince say to himself with a smile on his face: "I want to send you to the east to lead the military intelligence work of the three eastern provinces and prepare for the inevitable war." ”

Shen Bing immediately understood the prince's hard work, and his eyes were red and said, "My subordinates will definitely not let the prince down again." ”

Qin Lei smiled gently: "You have never let me down. Shen Bing rubbed his nose vigorously to stop the tears from flowing, choked and speechless.

Because Hou Xin was on vacation recently, he didn't know what was going on in the palace, but he only heard that the prince was assassinated, and later he cleaned up Prime Minister Wen. But looking at this juncture, the prince wants to transfer Shen Bing away, although the prince gave an explanation, he still heard that it seems that Shen Bing has made some mistakes.

However, Hou Xin was very shrewd in his heart, pretending to skip this paragraph in confusion, and said with a sad face: "Lord, I haven't done this errand before, I'll do it when I come up, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well Saying that, he said, "If you don't let me be Brother Shen's deputy, we can go east together." ”

Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said, "Then your daughter-in-law must not scold me to death behind my back, you still honestly stay in the capital for me." Shen Bing will take you for two months, and after two months, if you still can't do a good job, you will go home and farm for me. ”

Hou Xin reluctantly complied, and called out to apprentice to Shen Bing, which made Shen Bing embarrassed.

Qin Lei picked up the lid of the cup, made a gesture to throw Hou Xin, and scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and go home to say goodbye to your wife, go directly to Shen Bing's point tomorrow, three counts, get out of the house immediately......" Hou Xin hurriedly hugged his head and ran away, he knew that the prince was smashing it.

As soon as this noisy guy left, the study immediately returned to quiet, and the morning sunlight flowed in through the glass window, which was so soft and colorful.

Qin Lei got up and walked to Shen Bing's side and sat down, sitting in the soft and colorful pale yellow sunlight, and his voice was just as gentle: "Don't have psychological pressure, Wen Yanbo and Li Hun want to join forces to hide our eyes, it can still be done." Although your spy department is responsible, it ...... Not a crime of war. ”

Shen Bing's spine straightened, and he shook his head firmly: "Thank you, Lord Wang, for excusing the spy department and the lowly position, but what you said, the lowly position does not dare to agree." ”

As he spoke, he stood up straight, and saluted to Qin Lei simply: "I beg for review." ”

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you so serious?" Don't you see that I'm ready to make a big thing small? He explained softly: "I know, you never liked this errand, it was the Lone King who forced you to this position in the first place. Although you feel uncomfortable, you have never complained, and you have been working hard for two years, and these orphans are in your eyes and in your heart. ”

Shen Bing bit his lip tightly, knelt in front of Qin Lei and said, "The ancients said that a scholar dies for a confidant. can drive for the prince, and his subordinates are fortunate to have three lives. As he spoke, he said, "But the rules are set to be followed, not to be destroyed...... There can be no exceptions, otherwise there will be one and two, and if there are too many times, the rules will become decorations. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed and said resolutely: "Therefore, I implore the prince to deal with it impartially after listening to the review, and don't break the rules of the mountain for one person." ”

Qin Lei's heart was moved when he heard this, and he bent down to help him up and said, "Do you know why the Lone King didn't punish you the day before yesterday?" ”

Shen Bing said softly: "The prince wants his subordinates to make meritorious service in order to reduce their responsibility. ”

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "This is one aspect, but more importantly, I was very angry at the time, and I have never been so angry in this life," said calmly: "So I don't dare to make a decision, I am afraid that I will do something that I will regret in the future." ”

Shen Bing let out an 'oh', and then heard Qin Lei say indifferently: "Do you know what I wanted to do at that time?" ”

Shen Bing shook his head, and then listened to the prince say quietly: "There was a moment when I wanted to cut off your head. ”

Shen Bing hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My subordinates should be damned, and there will be no complaints." ”

Qin Lei picked up the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth: "But the next day, that is, yesterday, I felt that cutting off the head was too heavy." If you do not sin unto death, it is more appropriate to serve twenty years of labor on the farm. ”

Only then did Shen Bing know that he was spinning on the edge of the knife, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and his heart could be described as mixed.

saw the prince smile and said, "But today, I changed my mind again." These are extraordinary times, and the palace is in dire need of a loyal and capable subordinate like you. If I put you in the cold, then I'm not asking for trouble? After speaking, he held Shen Bing's shoulders and said with sincerity: "If you really want to atone for your sins, do it hard and make more meritorious contributions." When we calculate the general account, add and subtract, if you can't make the credit at that time, you don't need others to say it, and you will be beaten with your own hands. ”

Only then did Shen Bing know that the prince went around in such a big circle to help himself exonerate, and he was naturally grateful in his heart. But the more this is the case, the more I can't solve the pimple in my happiness, and mutters in a low voice: "The rules cannot be abolished." ”

Qin Lei became angry when he heard this, slapped the table and scolded his mother: "The emotional Lao Tzu has been talking for a long time, but it is all in vain?" Why don't you listen at all? He waved his hand and said, "This palace is mine, what I'm talking about is the rules, don't chatter." ”

Shen Bing kowtowed and said: "The prince once said that whoever sets the rules must be the first to abide by them, and if they violate them, they are not qualified to make rules again." You can't disobey it......"

"Isn't this a special time? Can you please stop being so dogmatic! Qin Lei groaned helplessly.

"The more special the period, the more we must strictly abide by the rules, otherwise where does the prestige of the prince come from? Where does our combat effectiveness come from? Shen Bing didn't give an inch.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Qin Lei finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "I've never seen anything like this, the official said: 'I'll spare you, I'll spare you.'" But the defendant said: 'Kill me, kill me.' Saying that, he touched Shen Bing's head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shen, are we screwing up?" ”

Shen Bing also nodded helplessly, but did not answer.

Qin Lei touched the beard on his chin and thought for a long time, then clapped his hands and smiled: "Otherwise, I'll get you a pair of cloth shackles, and if you wear it closely, you will be serving a sentence." It's a big deal to take it for twenty or thirty years, when to retire and when to take off. ”

Shen Bingxin said: 'Is this okay?' But he also knows that the prince has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and if he refuses again, he will be greatly ignorant. Only then did he whisper, "During this period, the payment of money has been suspended, all honors have nothing to do with subordinates, there are no holidays, no benefits, and the length of service must be deducted from these years." ”

Qin Lei said happily when he heard this: "You want to work for me for nothing?" Am I dreaming? ”

Shen Bing nodded and said, "The subordinates are willing to accept such a punishment. Qin Lei kicked him and said, "What a stubborn seed." So how did you marry a daughter-in-law in the past 20 years? Upside down door? ”

The corners of Shen Bing's mouth twitched and said, "My subordinates should try to reduce their sentence as soon as possible......"

This can be regarded as a decision on the handling of Shen Dusi. Qin Lei also pretended to punish himself...... Ten years did not receive the money issued by the royal government. Although it sounds scary, when did he receive the royal palace?

A guy who said goodbye to real money completely punished himself with not paying a salary, except for the word hypocrisy, I really can't find a more appropriate word.

After agreeing on their respective punishments, the two sat down again. Only then did Qin Lei arrange the task of Shen Bingdong: "You have to do three major things well. First, Xu Wei wrote that he and Ma Kui had become inseparable and could not carry out the plan at all. And Ma Kui also sent a letter to express his loyalty, saying that Xu Weiyang disobeyed the yin, just wanted to seize power, and was a big traitor. You have to investigate this matter clearly, and arrange countermeasures, and if necessary, you can bypass the two of you and directly take command in Eastern Qi. ”

Shen Bing nodded in response, and then listened to the prince's words: "Second, after controlling our forces in the three eastern provinces and Eastern Qi, quickly infiltrate Eastern Qi and collect all military intelligence. Specific requirements will be described in the task manual. ”

Qin Lei looked at him with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is extremely important, the more meticulous and precise your preparation is. When war breaks out, our chances of victory will be greater, and we will be able to lose a few brothers. ”

For the outbreak of war, a consensus had already been reached at the Commander's Advisory Council, and Shen Bing naturally did not doubt it. After solemnly responding, he asked softly, "What other tasks?" ”

"Keep a close eye on Princess Heyang, but don't alarm her, the strong dragon presses the head snake, you fierce dragon who crosses the river, it's better to be careful." Qin Lei smiled.

Shen Bing responded again, which was regarded as accepting the task of the prince. The two quickly talked about the specific details, and Qin Lei got up and said, "I'm going to fight outside the city, you can continue to interrogate Wen Mingli." ”

Nazhi Shen Bing laughed softly: "That kid is a pustule, and his subordinates don't need to torture him, just scare him a few times, and then he will be like a bamboo tube pouring beans." As he spoke, he took out a jade seal and a letter from his arms, presented it to Qin Lei with both hands, and said, "He said that with this, you can get the deed of Wen Yanbo's property in Nanchu." ”

Qin Lei took the thing, put it in his arms and said with a smile: "Wait for when you will go to the south, and then take it out." ”

Shen Bing nodded with some surprise, and said softly: "Also, the statistics of the Wen family's raids have also come out." ”

"How?" Qin Lei's eyes flashed with golden light and said, "I remember Mr. Le said that this guy's ill-gotten wealth has gone to the sea." ”

Shen Bing shook his head, took out another list and handed it to Qin Lei, "The prince may be disappointed." I didn't find too many things, and the bits and pieces added up, that is, 300,000 taels of silver. ”

Qin Lei quickly glanced at the list, and said in surprise: "Impossible, Le Buyi has seen with his own eyes, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold in boxes alone, and as for the antique treasures, there are countless and valuable treasures." ”

Shen Bing spread his hands helplessly and said, "But the secret vault has been abandoned, and it can't be found anywhere else." After thinking about it, he said: "If you don't go back to look for it, your subordinates will dig three feet into the ground, and you have to find out those things." ”

Qin Lei sighed and said, "I can't go again, if I go again now, it will make people laugh and look ugly." ”

Shen Bing clenched his fists unwillingly, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "I saw Wen Mingyi go home four days ago, and then left home overnight. Are those things going to let this guy take them? ”

"Has there been a convoy leaving the Wen family these days?" Qin Lei asked in a deep voice.

"No, only the daily delivery of food in and out." After speaking, Shen Bing slapped his head and said, "Eighty percent of these food deliverers have problems!" ”

Qin Lei frowned and said in a deep voice: "That's a lot of property, if we don't recover it, it will be used against us." ”

"My subordinates will do it." Shen Binghuo got up and said.

Qin Lei nodded, Shen Bing bowed back, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard the prince say in a deep voice: "There is also Wen Mingyi, Lone is a little worried about this guy, it is best to catch it back, and if it doesn't work, it will be cleared." ”

Shen Bing responded in a deep voice, and disappeared at the door in a blink of an eye.
