After Mrs. Zhou and Lin Ajiao came out, they looked at these things outside the gate, and they were also frightened, and the subordinates even secretly bowed their heads and whispered among themselves.

"Who sent these things?"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided."

"Look at this poor sour appearance, it shouldn't have been sent by a rich or noble family."

Zhou Ming didn't rush to answer his father's words, he walked outside the door and picked up the things on the ground one by one, there were a few things that still had temperature left on them, and at a glance he knew that these things were very precious to the people who sent them.

"Xianggong, what the hell is going on?" Lin Ajiao couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Zhou Ming turned around, looked at the street, and said: "If I guess correctly, these things must have been sent by the people of Chengnan District, and there will even be family members of the victims of the disappearance." ”

When they heard this, they all suddenly understood.

"The people are so kind." After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Lin Ajiao was full of emotion.

Zhou Ruhai stroked his beard, and he was also moved: "Ming'er, since you killed Yan Shikuan, although my father didn't say it explicitly, he has always complained about you, blaming you for being impulsive and causing a big disaster for our Zhou family."

But at this moment, my father suddenly understood that what you did was right, our people in Dachu were too bitter, and this disappearance case hurt them too deeply.

Ming'er, for my father to tell you today, if you encounter the same case in the future, don't back down, don't think about us, do what you think you should do. ”

When the Zhou family heard the master say this, they secretly thought to themselves, is the old man crazy? I don't know if I can get through this disaster that the young master broke into in front of me, but the old man didn't strictly control the young master, and encouraged him to do stupid things, this family really can't stay for a long time, otherwise I will accompany them to see the king of Hades sooner or later.

Mrs. Zhou naturally disagreed with Zhou Ruhai's statement in her heart, but in front of everyone, he was not good at refuting it in person.

Lin Ajiao saw that her father-in-law finally understood and supported Zhou Ming, she was overjoyed all of a sudden, walked to Zhou Ming's side, and took his hand: "Xianggong, like my father, I will always support you, no matter what you do." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded movingly, and at this time he felt for the first time that he had really done a great thing last night.

"Daddy, and mother, don't worry, I won't do anything less in the future, and I will definitely not let you be frightened."

After speaking, Zhou Zhou Ming turned around and planned to go home.

Laifu looked at the things on the ground and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what should I do with these things?" ”

Zhou Ruhai also looked at Zhou Ming: "Yes, Ming'er, I think these things should be returned to the people, they are living in poverty, they may have sent the best things in the house, we can't ask for it." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming understood in his heart that the people sent these things out of sincere gratitude to themselves, and if they didn't appreciate it, they insisted on sending these things back, but they didn't want to give them face, which made the people feel sad.

And even if he wants to send things back, there is a vast sea of people and a lot of things, who knows who these things belong to? If you make a mistake when the time comes, you will live up to the kindness of others.

"Keep them all." Zhou Ming said with a smile, "We can't ask for the things of King Xiaohuai, what are we afraid of the things given by the people?" All move back to the house! ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming took Lin Ajiao and turned around and went home, and there was nothing to say all night.

After this catastrophe, the south of the city inspected the yamen, suffered heavy losses, and the damage inside the yamen was even more serious, so for seven days, the yamen did not open, and Zhou Ming did not have to go on a business trip.

He cares about the news about the disappearance case outside all day long, but he has no clue, so he can only stay in the house all day long, read idle books, and talk to Lin Ajiao, if he is not pressing a major event in his heart, this kind of day is also comfortable.

On the eighth day, the imperial court assigned some manpower to supplement the inspection yamen in the south of the city, and the inspection yamen began to work normally.

Zhou Ming came to the Yamen for the first time, and after just seven days, he came to inspect the Yamen again, and Zhou Ming's status and prestige are not what they used to be.

The new servants and the old men in the yamen, after seeing Zhou Yiming, took the initiative to come forward to say hello, and everyone nodded in front of Zhou Ming, looking like they were trying to flatter, which made Zhou Yiming extremely uncomfortable, and even sometimes felt disgusting.

Even Master Cao, who had introduced Zhou Ming to inspect the yamen errand before, had changed his attitude towards Zhou Ming.

Although Zhou Zhou Ming was Master Lin's uncle before, in view of Master Cao's introduction to him, he was very respectful to him, and he always regarded himself as a junior in front of him.

But at this time, it has completely changed, even if Zhou Zhou Ming wants to consider himself a junior in front of Master Cao, Master Cao does not dare to put the score of the elders.

However, these changes are secondary, the most important changes happened to Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, since that night, after experiencing life and death with Zhou Ming, the two of them have regarded Zhou Ming as their leading brother in their hearts, no matter how low Zhou Ming's current title is, as soon as the two of them saw Zhou Ming, they were polite, like subordinates treat their superiors.

Zhou Ming didn't take the other changes to heart, and he was even a little uncomfortable, but this change was very useful to him.

These two old boys had put up their superiors' scores in front of them before, and this time they finally gave Zhou Ming a chance to retaliate.

On the first day of Zhou Ming's business, as soon as he arrived at the Yamen, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang greeted him, and the two of them respectfully brought Zhou Ming to the back hall of the Yamen, serving tea and water, and serving them meticulously.

After drinking tea, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang hurriedly asked Zhou Ming how his injuries were, and if they needed to find a good doctor to help Zhou Ming take a look.

"Don't bother, this little injury is not that serious." Zhou Ming waved his hand and rejected the proposal of the two men.

Then Zhou Zhou Ming asked the two people, how is the investigation of the disappearance case above? Did you detect any messages?

Seeing Zhou Ming ask like this, Deng Tong stood up, walked outside the door, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he turned back, closed the door, sat back in place, and said in a low voice:

"I have asked an acquaintance to inquire, Shaoqing of Dali Temple did not lie to us at that time, after we left, he did handle it impartially and according to the normal procedures.

I heard that in the past two days, the Yamen of Dali Temple may have asked us to assist in the investigation, and it is estimated that after we go, this case will almost be closed. ”

"Yan Qiu old thief, is there any movement?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang both shook their heads: "Yan Qiu has never heard any news over there, it seems that he has been holding his troops still, and I don't know what the hell this old thief is doing." ”

"On the contrary, it is the prince's side, it seems that he has made a move." Xia Dezhang added.

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the news?" ”

Xia Dezhang paused: "A colleague of mine before, now he has been promoted to the General Affairs Office of Huijing and holds an important position.

According to him, it seems that the prince secretly passed the news to the yamen of Dali Temple, telling them to handle this case impartially and must not bend the law for personal gain. ”

Zhou Ming held the teacup and thought for a while.

According to his previous guess, the prince is definitely a smart person, this case is in an uproar at this time, and Yan Qiu is involved, according to common sense, the prince will definitely not let himself be involved easily.

Because if Yan Qiu wins this case in the end, Zhou Ming and they will not only die without a place to be buried, but the prince will also publicly tear his face with Yan Qiu, when there is no real power, the prince is just a title, and Yan Qiu with real power can have countless ways to make the prince be abolished and even lose his life.

Even if Zhou Ming and they were able to get away with it, this case ended in a strict failure, and the prince could get very little benefit from it, at most, he would get Zhou Ming's loyalty and gain the love of some people.

This is a drop in the bucket compared to the prince's dedication.

He will still be offended, and he will still face danger.

Zhou Ming was puzzled, why did the prince help him at a critical moment?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a person - Xiao Huaiwang.

Could it be that King Xiaohuai tried his best to persuade the prince?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming nodded to himself, his heart full of gratitude to Xiao Huaiwang.

Since returning from the Yamen of Dali Temple, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang have not had a good time, the two of them not only have to face the complaints and reproaches of their families, but also always worry and be vigilant to seek the revenge of the old thief.

During this period, the two of them wanted to go to Zhou Ming's house many times to explore Zhou Ming's tone, but first, they couldn't afford to provoke the current Zhou Ming, and second, they were not familiar with the Zhou family, so they went rashly, and Zhou Ming did not necessarily take care of them.

So when the two of them were at home, they were always looking forward to the south of the city to inspect the yamen and open it quickly, because in this way, the two of them would be able to see Zhou Ming.

At this time, seeing that Zhou Ming was silent, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang couldn't sit still anymore.

"Brother Zhou, what should we do now? Do you need us to check it up and down? If you need to, you don't have to worry about the money, the two of us will be out. ”

Zhou Ming raised his eyes to look at the two of them and smiled slightly: "It seems that you two have been on an errand for a few years, have you been scraping less?" ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang looked embarrassed: "No, it's all hard-earned money." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming sneered: "It's good if you don't have it." At the moment, you'd better not do anything, if you go to dredge up the relationship and send money to the relevant people, if you are caught, we can't explain the reason. ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang nodded hurriedly.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhou Zhou Ming felt that he couldn't help himself anymore, so he stood up and said goodbye to Deng Tong and them: "Okay, the water is almost drunk, you two can work, I also go out to get busy, after all, we are all eating official meals, and we can't always touch fish." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming came out alone, came to his own transcription position, and continued to drink tea and read the newspaper.

Several colleagues around him, when they copied documents for Zhou Ming before, they still had a lot of complaints about him in their hearts, and at this time, several colleagues scrambled to help Zhou Ming finish his job, and they even almost fought between the scrambles.
