Although the jurisdiction area of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen is very large, and the things under its jurisdiction are very complex, the level of the Yamen itself in Huijing is very low, and the power in the Yamen is not high, and the Yamen is in the Chengnan District, and the oil and water that can be fished here is very limited.

Deng Tong has served as an inspection envoy in the south of the city inspection yamen for many years, he has a flexible brain, and has used various ways and opportunities to eat and take cards, and has reaped a lot of benefits from the people in the south of the city, and has also made a lot of money by deducting various funds in the yamen.

But these benefits and money together do not exceed two thousand taels, which is not proportional to Deng Tong's scheming and efforts.

This is also one of the reasons why Deng Tong has always wanted to leave the south of the city to inspect the yamen.

Now that Zhou Ming has cracked such a major case, the imperial court has rarely issued such a huge sum of money to the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, which is equivalent to fat meat sent to Deng Tong's mouth, how could he miss this opportunity and have no idea?

Before he and Xia Dezhang came to Zhou Ming's house, they had already discussed, the two of them were going to pull Zhou Ming into the water, and the three of them would intercept this huge amount of money and divide it, as for the brothers who died in this case, they were all dead anyway, just give their families two hundred taels of silver, and they can be sent away.

And whether the families of these deceased brothers can survive with such a small amount of money is not within their consideration.

Zhou Zhou Ming saw the unappetizing smiles on the faces of the two people, and immediately guessed the thoughts of the two people, but he didn't speak, he wanted to see how shameless these two people would be.

Although it is a matter for everyone's welfare, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang also know that such a thing is not glorious, so the two of them did not say what they thought in their hearts for a long time, but you look at me, I look at you, and they both want each other to speak.

The two of them have the heart of a thief, and they don't have the guts of a thief, which really makes Zhou Zhou Ming feel funny.

"Do you two have something to say? We are all brothers who are friends of life and death, and if you have something to say, don't babble, like a girl. Zhou Ming opened his mouth and smiled.

This sentence inspired Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, the two thought about it, and finally Deng Tong spoke: "Brother Zhou, after coming to the house, I took a closer look, this mansion is too small, you have become married, and it is inconvenient to live in such a small courtyard with your uncle and aunt." ”

"No way, I used to be sick, and my parents almost spent all their money in order to treat me, and now I just want to change the house, and I don't have that strength for the time being." Monday told the truth.

Seeing Zhou Ming say that he was short of money, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were secretly happy, they had never been sure whether Zhou Ming would agree to their plan, so they had been worried, and at this moment they were finally at ease, and they were ninety percent sure that Zhou Ming would most likely accept their plan.

After all, this money was not stolen from the people, it was issued by the imperial court, and the three of them played a great role in this case, so they deserved to take this money.

"Brother Zhou, don't say such things, if you really want to change the house, it's not impossible." Deng Tong said meaningfully.

Xia Dezhang on the side rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he would be able to get the huge sum of money immediately.

Zhou Ming deliberately pretended to be stupid: "What way?" Are you two going to pay for me to buy me a house? I'm sorry, but if you insist on buying it for me, I can't say no. ”

"No problem, Brother Zhou, it's easy to say." Xia Dezhang said happily, "As long as you agree to the plan of the two of us, let alone buy you a house, three of them are fine." ”

"What plan? So powerful! Zhou Ming still deliberately pretended not to understand.

Deng Tong suddenly had a serious face, approached Zhou Ming, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, that's the case, this huge amount of money issued by the imperial court will be directly given to our yamen, and the person in charge of the yamen is you and me, if we keep this money quietly, take out a small part, and send the families of those brothers, and the rest of the silver taels, the three of us will divide it."

As long as this plan goes smoothly, let alone buying you a house, Xia Dezhang and I will have no problem buying you two each. ”

The anger in Zhou Ming's heart rose suddenly, these two people are really shameless to the extreme, those brothers' families have lost their pillars, and their lives are in trouble, and the imperial court finally gave a life-saving money at a time of crisis, but these two people still want to swallow the money privately, they are simply not human.

According to Zhou Ming's temper, he couldn't wait to slap the two of them flat on the spot, but after thinking about it, he had a better idea in his heart, which could not only perfectly solve the current problem, but also teach Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang a hard lesson.

Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't speak for a long time, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang didn't know what he meant, if he didn't agree with the plan of the two people, the two of them would not only not be able to eat the money, but they would also cause big trouble.

Because with the two people's understanding of Zhou Ming, once he opposes this plan, he will definitely teach the two of them a hard lesson, and the pain of skin and flesh will be light at that time, after all, this kid is ruthless and kills without blinking, and even the grandson of the first minister of the dynasty dares to kill, what are the two of them?

As Zhou Ming was silent for longer and longer, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang became more and more scared.

Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Then this is a lot of money, right?" ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang almost cried, the two of them let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "The two of us have already calculated, except for Brother Zhou's five thousand taels, and the two of us six thousand taels, the rest of the money is a total of 26,000 taels." ”

"Hiss," Zhou Zhou Ming gasped, 26,000 taels of silver, 2,000 taels per person, which means that in this disappearance case, a total of thirteen people died in the Chengnan Patrol Yamen.

Zhou Zhou Ming was sad in his heart, but he pretended to be happy on his face: "How can you divide so much money?" ”

Hearing this, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhangle blossomed, okay, since Zhou Zhou Ming can say such things, it must mean that he has agreed to this plan.

Deng Tong sat next to Zhou Ming with a flattering face, and told him the detailed plan for dividing the spoils.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, you are the hero of this case, and the two of us will definitely not treat you badly.

The two of us had already discussed before we came, 26,000 taels of silver, of which 16,000 taels would be given to Brother Zhou, and the remaining 10,000 taels would be divided equally between me and Xia Zhutou 21. ”

Deng Tong originally wanted to give himself a little more, but considering that this matter was extremely risky, if it was spread out, it would be a serious crime, so in order to stop Xia Dezhang's mouth, he endured the pain and planned to give him five thousand taels.

Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't respond immediately, Xia Dezhang hurriedly smiled and added: "Brother Zhou, if you are dissatisfied with this distribution ratio, even if you say it, the three of us brothers are friends of life and death, and everything can be discussed." ”

"Yes, Brother Zhou, if you think that sixteen thousand taels is not enough, the two of us can add more to you." Deng Tong also hurriedly expressed his position.

Zhou Ming picked up the teacup and smiled evilly: "Two brothers, I think you two have forgotten, who saved your lives, and who solved the disappearance case?"

As your little brother, you should be content with this distribution ratio, but if you are your savior, you will not be satisfied with this distribution ratio. ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were dripping blood in their hearts, the two of them didn't expect that Zhou Yiming, who usually looked childish and full of a sense of justice, would be so greedy at such a moment.

The two of them had already given more than half of the huge amount of money to Zhou Ming, but he was still not satisfied.

At this point, the two of them had no choice but to redistribute.

"What Brother Zhou said makes sense, but we didn't think it through." Deng Tong wiped the cold sweat on his face, and said tremblingly, "It's better to do this, in addition to the sixteen thousand taels, take out another four thousand taels from our ten thousand taels, and give it to Brother Zhou, what do you think?" ”

Xia Dezhang next to him was about to cry in distress, and he lost two thousand taels of silver for no reason, a sum that he couldn't earn for ten years.

Both of them thought that Zhou Ming would definitely be satisfied this time, but what they didn't expect was that Zhou Zhou Ming didn't say a word, just stared at them with stunned eyes, and a smile on the corner of his mouth that was incomprehensible.

The two of them instantly understood that Zhou Ming was still not satisfied with the amount he had received.

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang glanced at each other pitifully, and both of them felt that Zhou Ming was too ruthless, he was simply eating people without spitting out bones, and he was making the two of them unable to even drink the soup.

But the matter has come to this point, Deng Tong must satisfy Zhou Ming, so he can only break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, and said in a trembling voice: "Since Brother Zhou is still not satisfied, then Xia Zhutou and I will take a step back, take out another two thousand taels from our share, and give it to Brother Zhou, you are all brothers, and everyone's happiness is the most important thing." ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were originally able to share five thousand taels of silver each, but under the coercion of Zhou Ming's greed, the amount that the two of them could share became smaller and smaller, and it had dropped to two thousand taels of silver at this time.

While their hearts are full of pain, they are constantly comforting themselves.

Two thousand taels is not a lot, which is equivalent to seven or eight years of Yulu, although it can't be compared with Zhou Ming's kid, but it's better than nothing.

"Since it's for everyone's happiness," sensing that it was time to close the net, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly stood up and looked at the two of them with a wicked smile, "Then it's better to make me happier, I want all the 26,000 taels of silver." ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were dumbfounded on the spot, and Xia Dezhang even sat on the ground.

How greedy the two of them were just now, how angry they were in their hearts at this moment, and the two of them even lost their minds in an instant, and wanted to pull out their knives and hack to death, the insatiable vampire.

However, Zhou Ming's strength kept them sane, and when they thought of the deaths of Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying, the anger of the two of them was reduced by more than half, and their greed for money became nowhere to be seen.
