Although the young boy in white was greatly wronged, when he heard the stranger say this, he still forcibly held back his tears, stared at the stranger with his eyes, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Who are you?" ”

The stranger smiled slightly, and tactfully dodged his question: "It doesn't matter who I am. Why did you fight with them just now? Do you know that your mother will be very worried when you go home scarred like this? ”

As if he had been said to be critical, the white-clothed child's eyes were filled with tears again, and he said stubbornly: "They provoked me first." They said that my father was a wreck, the weakest one in the night patrol, and that the disappearance case had nothing to do with him.

He also said that my father died the worst, and he did not deserve to receive the imperial court pension at all. ”

The stranger did not speak for a moment, and he looked at a house not far behind the young child.

The house was dilapidated, the firewood and straw huts, the thatched roof, it looked like it had not been replaced for a long time, and it seemed that a gust of wind would blow it away.

"Is that your home?" The stranger asked.

The young boy followed the stranger's gaze, turned his head, and admitted with some embarrassment: "Yes, we didn't live here when my father was alive." ”

The stranger suddenly knew in his heart that the pillars of the family were gone, there was no financial source, and moving here was also for a longer-term future, and for a woman, it was helpless to come up with such a solution.

"Is your mother at home?" The stranger asked again.

This time the toddler became alert, he took two steps back and looked the stranger up and down: "Who are you?" Why do you ask so much? ”

The stranger laughed heartily: "I am your father's friend before his death, and this time I came to see you, how are you doing?" ”

The young child's eyes immediately lit up, and he went up to grab the stranger's legs, and asked vigorously, "Tell me, is my father a big hero?" Isn't it more powerful than the guy named Zhou Ming? ”

The stranger crouched down, grabbed the young child's shoulders with both hands, looked him in the eyes, and said with a serious face: "Child, I tell you, no matter what others say about your father, you should not believe it.

Your father is a big hero, in order to solve the case, he sacrificed, this is the supreme glory, compared to him, that Zhou Ming is not a fart.

You have to always remember that and be proud of your dad, you know? ”

The toddler's face was full of tears, half out of emotion, half out of grievance.

Since his father's death, the neighbors and playmates around him have all commented on his father, saying that the reason why his father will be sacrificed is because his own strength is too poor, and his death is useless for solving the missing case, but almost dragged down the big hero who solved the case.

Suddenly there is no father, for a young child, it is already a big blow, in his heart his father sacrificed for justice, hearing these gossip, he is naturally sad and abnormal, so he often conflicts with those neighbor playmates.

But the result of the conflict is often that he was beaten very badly, dragged his injured body back home, and was scolded by his mother, he had nowhere to tell these grievances, and he kept them in his heart until the stranger's words just now completely broke out the feelings in his heart.

His father is really a big hero, and with such affirmation, no matter what the neighbor's playmate says in the future, he will not go to his heart again.

The stranger did not stop the young boy from shedding tears, he just squatted quietly in front of the young child, allowing him to cry out all the grievances in his heart.

The naughty boys who were chased away by the stranger just now saw this scene from a distance, and they all muttered in their hearts, could this stranger be a bad person? Why did he make that poor boy cry?

These boys were muttering about whether to tell the mother of the young boy in white about this.

The young boy in white cried for a long time, and finally stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and showed a bitter smile.

"Is your mother home now?" The stranger continued to ask the question.

At this time, the young boy had completely trusted the stranger, nodded and said, "My mother happens to be at home now, and she will be going to help others wash their clothes in a while, do you have anything to do with her?" ”

The stranger stood up and nodded, "There is something very important. Can you take me to meet your mother? ”

The toddler thought for a moment, then nodded and took the stranger by the way.

When he walked to the dilapidated firewood gate, the young boy suddenly stopped, turned back to the stranger, and said, "You wait here first, and I will call my mother." ”

As he spoke, he opened the firewood door and ran in, and said loudly as he ran: "Mother, I'm back, a friend of my father is here, and he said that he wants to see us, you come out quickly." ”

When the stranger walked into the courtyard and saw a dilapidated scene, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He took out a large silver ticket, put it on a bench, pressed it with a stone, and at last without waiting for the boy and his mother to come out, turned and went out of the gate, and walked away.

Not far away, the stranger overheard the conversation between the mother and son.

"Where's the guy you're talking about?"

"I told him to wait here just now."

"You kid, your father is gone, you lie all day, and one more time see how I clean you up."

"I didn't. Mother, what do you think this is? ”

"It's ...... Silver ticket? ”

"How much silver is that?"

"Thousands of taels. Our family has a way to live, son, who is that person? Where are you now? ”

Zhou Ming, who walked to the mouth of the alley, showed a sad smile on his face, and disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Ming, who returned to the Yamen, sent all the other remaining silver to the money village one by one, exchanged them for silver tickets, and then distributed them to the families of the deceased brothers one by one.

Although Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang scratched their hearts and wanted to take the opportunity to leave a little benefit, they had no chance at all, and the two of them looked at these bounties and were sent out by Zhou Ming little by little, feeling more uncomfortable than dead.

After Zhou Ming sent the silver, it was already dark, and it was time for the yamen to go on a business.

Since Zhou Ming cracked the case of the woman's disappearance, the entire Beijing Association has been very safe, not only have similar cases not happened again, but even the usual petty theft has been reined in a lot.

Especially in the south of the city, whether it is a thief or a robber, it seems that they are afraid of Zhou Ming, and they will not dare to commit crimes in a short time, and those who are bold and reckless will also leave the south of the city to harm other urban areas.

The law and order are good, and the imperial court has given preferential treatment to the missing people in the southern part of the city, so in the past two months, the southern part of the city has inspected the yamen and exempted from the work of patrolling at night.

This is undoubtedly a huge benefit for the yamen in the yamen.

After dealing with the court's bounty, Zhou Ming packed up his things and prepared to go home on a business trip.

Seeing Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang's listless appearance, Zhou Zhou Ming felt very funny: "Two brothers, laugh at one!" When I look at your expressions, I feel very sad.

It's just a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, you don't need to be so stingy, right?

In the future, we will have more meritorious services, so why should we be angry for such a little silver. ”

The two of them knew that Zhou Ming was angry with them, but they were helpless, who made the strength of the family so strong, even if the two of them were tied together, it was not enough for Zhou Ming to cut them with a knife.

The two of them swallowed their anger and explained that the official on duty had something to inform them, and then wanted to leave the yamen angrily.

Zhou Zhou Ming followed behind them, and the three of them walked together.

The three of them had not yet walked out of the gate of the yamen, and were suddenly stopped by the people in the yamen, among these people were the old men who inspected the yamen in the south of the city, and there were also new additions, even the master of Cao was among them.

Everyone surrounded the three of them and asked them to celebrate.

"Three heads, you have received so much silver today, if you just leave, don't invite the brothers out to be chic and have a good meal, it's too boring, right?"

"That's right, I heard that there is the freshest carp and beef in Zuixian Mansion today."

"Don't say it, it's all drooling."

"You all know how to eat, don't you understand what a high-class enjoyment is?"

Everyone was reminded of this, and they all understood at once, and they all laughed obscenely.

"The girl who is full of flowers is a beautiful one after another, Deng Patrol, Zhou Zhutou, you have already eaten meat, you should take us to drink some soup."

Seeing that their subordinates were like hungry wolves, either wanting to eat or thinking about something, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang's faces turned green, knowing that in this case, if there was no blood, they would definitely not get out easily.

And logically speaking, when they get the reward, they should invite their subordinates to eat and drink, because after all, everyone is working in a yamen, although they are in charge, but if they don't handle the relationship with their subordinates well, if they buy people's hearts, the team will not be easy to lead.

If you really want to offend everyone, maybe one of these people will have a backstage, and when the time comes, you will wear a little shoe for no reason, and you won't know how you died.

Even if their backstage is not hard, as long as they deliberately mess things up when they usually handle cases, the blame will have to fall on their heads.

Reasonably, they couldn't hide from asking for this meal.

But the two of them were really aggrieved in their hearts, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them got a reward of thousands of taels of silver, and it was right to invite everyone to eat and drink, but only the two of them knew in their hearts that neither of them got any of the money, and they were all defeated by Zhou Ming.

They just have the heart to invite everyone to eat and drink, and now their strength does not allow it.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zhou Ming pitifully, the meaning is very simple, it is to tell Zhou Ming, you have squandered all your money and given favors, and now that the situation is in front of you, should you give some blood?

Zhou Ming immediately raised his head, his eyes wandered on the roof, but he didn't look at Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang.

The hatred in the hearts of the two of them, Zhou Ming, this kid is really inhumane, and it doesn't count to take away our share of money, and now in this situation, he doesn't even want to come out of a son, this is to do things absolutely nothing.
