"There's two of them." Bow down on Monday.

"Lord Zhou, don't say that, you are now famous all over the world, you are a great hero of the people, we can do something for you, it can be regarded as a blessing for three lives."

The two little officials were very good at talking, one of them immediately entered the yamen after speaking, and went to help Zhou Ming report, and the other little official respectfully led Zhou Zhou Ming to the gatehouse, made him a cup of tea, and asked him to rest and wait.

Zhou Ming was so anxious, where did he have the heart to drink tea, he waited for the news inside, and chatted with the little official without a word.

"Is the chief manager so busy every day?"

"Almost, from the time I first took office, until now, I have never left the yamen before my son."

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded slightly, thinking that such a diligent official should not be bad in nature.

Soon the little official who went in to report ran out, and he panted and said to Zhou Ming: "Lord Zhou, the chief manager invites you to come in for an interview, please come with me." ”

After Monday thanked him decently, he followed the official into the yamen, walked through the house, and the two came to the backyard of the yamen, where there were many houses, but only one room was brightly lit.

The little servant led him into this lighted room.

Han Pingzhi was sitting behind a desk, holding a pen in his hand, correcting the official documents on the table, and after noticing that Zhou Ming and them were coming, he didn't react in the slightest, and still concentrated on what he was doing.

"Lord Han, Lord Zhou brought it." The little official whispered.

Han Pingzhi didn't even raise his head, but just waved his hand lightly, signaling the little official to retreat.

The little servant understood, and then tiptoed out.

Zhou Ming, who was standing in the center of the room, saw that Han Pingzhi didn't pay attention to him at all, and his heart was anxious, he didn't feel embarrassed, but the matter was urgent, and he couldn't tolerate such a delay.

"Lord Han, I came to visit late at night, and I have something important to tell you." Zhou Zhou Ming said as he saluted with both hands.

At this time, Han Pingzhi looked like he had just seen Zhou Ming, raised his head slightly with a pen, and looked at Zhou Ming: "You are Zhou Yiming?" ”

"It's a lowly position."

With a snap, Han Pingzhi slapped the pen in his hand on the table, stood up, stretched out his hand to Zhou Ming, and asked with a sinking face: "You killed Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying?" ”

Zhou Ming felt a pang in his heart, and shouted that it was not good, this Han Pingzhi was deeply affected by the grace of strict seeking knowledge, how could he forget this kindness, the kind of beautiful ideas before he came were all wishful thinking, he would definitely take this opportunity to take revenge on himself, hoping that he would help him catch the murderer, it was simply wishful thinking, he didn't want his own life, it was already a blessing.

But the matter has come to this point, Zhou Zhou Ming has no way to retreat, so he simply looks away: "Exactly." ”

"Yan Gong has no grudge against you, why did you do this?" Han Pingzhi's voice became higher and higher.

Zhou Zhou Ming was neither humble nor arrogant, and in despair, he showed a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor that was not afraid of power: "I killed Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying for the sake of Great Chu and the people to eliminate evil, and I have nothing to do with Yan Gong, even if these two people are my own brothers, I will kill them!" Because they damn it! ”

"What a guts!" Han Pingzhi suddenly showed a smile and praised.

While Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he looked dazed, not knowing what kind of trick Han Pingzhi was playing.

Didn't he mean to harm me, just to test my guts?

Han Pingzhi walked out from behind the desk, came to Zhou Ming's side, looked carefully from top to bottom, and then stroked his beard and said with a look of relief: "Sure enough, you are a hero and a young man, Zhou Zhutou, you are a talent, your martial arts cultivation is so high at a young age, and your future is limitless."

And the most rare thing is that you have a brave heart that is not afraid of power, which is what the old man appreciates the most.

That Yan Shikuan behaved mischiefly all day long, harming countless lives, and Yan Gong's father and son were busy with government affairs and had no time to discipline, which made him lawless, and almost ruined Yan Gong's reputation. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming was a little stunned when he heard him praise himself at first, but then the more he listened, the more he understood, it turned out that this Han Pingzhi couldn't get used to Yan Shikuan before, and even hated him to the bone, and he thought that Yan Shikuan had done a lot of evil and had nothing to do with Yan Qiu, and even Yan Qiu's notoriety was caused by Yan Shikuan.

Although his idea is very strange, Zhou Zhou Ming can understand that it is like a friend next to you who falls in love with a femme fatale, no matter how you remind and advise him, how dangerous this femme fatale is, he will not listen, and will even hate you in turn, because once you are deeply involved in a relationship, people who are addicted to it are only willing to believe what they want to believe, even if the facts are in front of them, they would rather lie to themselves.

At this moment, Zhou Ming understood very well that Han Pingzhi was in such a relationship, so he couldn't see Yan Qiu's true face, or even if he could see it clearly, he didn't want to believe it.

"Lord Han praised it falsely!" Zhou Ming arched his hand and said.

"This is not a false compliment," Han Pingzhi suddenly said with a sincere face, "Zhou Zhutou, you may think that getting rid of Yan Shikuan is just a trivial matter, but for those of us who are loyal and righteous people who work under Yan Gong, it is a big deal.

Every time we know that this thief has done something that hurts heaven and reason, we will be like a knife, but because of Yan Gong's face, we are not good to come forward to directly ask him for his guilt, and other officials in the court are afraid of Yan Gong's majesty, and they dare not punish this villain, so that he finally lost his heart and hurt countless innocent women. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking that judging from this remark alone, this Han Pingzhi should be regarded as a person with a sense of justice, this kind of person is generally not too bad, if I explain the predicament and inventory in front of me later, there is still hope to get his help.

"Thank you for your appreciation, in fact, when I first handled the case, I didn't think about it so much." Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly saluted and said what was in his heart.

Han Ping patted him on the shoulder with emotion: "Good boy, it is up to you for Duke Yan to keep his reputation, Duke Yan is in a high position and is busy with official business, so I must not thank you in person, here I will thank you on behalf of Duke Yan." ”

After Han Pingzhi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Lord Han, you do this great gift, you really dare not take your humble position." ”

Zhou Ming helped Han Pingzhi to the seat on the side, and then stood aside respectfully, wondering for a while, Lao Tzu really didn't expect that after killing Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying, he could still get the thanks of Yan Qiu's old thief's subordinates, and went back to tell Xia Dezhang about it, and it is estimated that they couldn't believe it if they were killed.

After Han Pingzhi calmed down, he hurriedly asked Zhou Ming: "Zhou Zhutou, look at me, as soon as I am old, I am easy to be confused, I patronized and thanked you just now, but I forgot to ask you, why did you come to the General Affairs Office to find me so late?" ”

Zhou Mingzheng was worried about what kind of opportunity to talk about the right thing, and when he saw Han Pingzhi asking, he immediately replied: "Lord Han, I really don't hide it, I really have something important to discuss with my lord when I come here this time." ”

Han Pingzhi knew Zhou Ming's courage and courage, and from the tone and expression of his voice, he had already guessed that something big must have happened, otherwise Zhou Ming would not be so flustered.

"Come on." Han Pingzhi sat upright, staring at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming told Han Pingzhi all his findings in Huamanlou in one breath, but he concealed the real reason why he and the brothers of the yamen went to Huamanlou, and only said that he had received information, and the intelligence showed that the identity of the girl in Huamanlou was suspicious, so he led the brothers in the yamen to Huamanlou to investigate.

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Han Pingzhi was shocked, as the head of the General Affairs Office, although he had just arrived, he didn't expect that under his nose, there could be so many northern fine works lurking, and even in a place like Hua Manlou, these fine works were not let go.

If Zhou Zhou Ming hadn't relied on his wit to see the flaws of this Oiran girl, and thus took him down in one fell swoop, in case there were really members of the royal family who went to Huamanlou to find this Oiran girl in the future, once something happened, he, the chief manager, would be fully responsible.

After all, the General Affairs Office is the top boss of the four inspection yamen in Huijing, and the security of the entire city is all under the responsibility of the General Affairs Office.

"It's dangerous! Zhou Zhutou, thanks to your cleverness, you have seen through the conspiracy of this traitor, otherwise if something really happens, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around. Han Pingzhi wiped the cold sweat on his face, and he had a feeling in his heart that he would have survived the catastrophe.

Zhou Zhou Ming understood in his heart that this was not the time to be happy, so he immediately said: "Lord Han, now is not the time to relax your vigilance, now is the top priority, please ask Lord Han to quickly dispatch manpower, divide the troops into seven routes, and dispatch at the same time to wipe out these spies."

And the action must be absolutely confidential, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked, otherwise it will definitely startle the snake.

These people have been lurking in the city quietly for so long, everyone is by no means idle, and they are all extremely high in martial arts cultivation, if they send ordinary officials, not only will it be impossible to catch people, but let them die in vain. ”

Han Pingzhi gasped, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "But at this moment, it is close to midnight, and most of the masters of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office have already gone home, and those who are still in the Yamen at the moment are only three or four masters of the second-grade realm, and only this little manpower is probably not enough to deal with this operation." ”

Zhou Ming frowned, and muttered in his heart, there is only this amount of manpower in the General Affairs Mansion, and the martial arts cultivation is the highest master, only the second-grade realm, such a humble strength, a person leading the team is not sure to catch those northern masters, even if it is two or three second-grade realm masters, whether they can be fully sure to catch those spies has to be marked with a big question mark.

Seeing Zhou Ming's worried look, Han Pingzhi immediately thought of a solution: "Zhou Zhutou, what do you think of my method?" ”
