Chapter 82 The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth
Yang Shijun was a little excited for the first time, and wanted to quickly stand up and ask Zhou Ming, what happened later, whether the Supreme Daoist was killed.
But when he saw the eunuchs present, he immediately dispelled this idea, after all, these people are the eyes and ears of the emperor, if on this occasion, he hears a conspiracy that is harmful to Yan Qiu's safety, and he is too excited, it may arouse the suspicion of these people even more, and once Yan Qiu loses the emperor's trust, he will lose the only capital and backer to cover the sky.
The white-clothed guards under him had the same idea as him, so although they were very concerned about whether the Supreme Daoist was dead or alive, no one asked, they just looked at Zhou Ming silently, hoping that he would continue to talk quickly.
As soon as Zhou Ming entered this room, he saw those strangers, who seemed to be from the palace, but in fact, his judgment was very correct, these people were the eunuchs beside the emperor.
Yan Qiu is the most favored person around the emperor, and he is also the most trusted person, so every news he knows, he will try to inform the emperor as soon as possible.
After Yang Shijun got Han Pingzhi's letter asking for help last night, he immediately told Yan Qiu and asked him if he wanted to help Han Pingzhi.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was a spy from the northern kingdom, which was a major matter related to the safety of the Great Chu State, so Yan Qiu did not stop it, and immediately agreed to Yang Shijun's attack, and at the same time sent someone to send the news into the palace.
After the emperor got the news, he was also very surprised, and after attaching great importance to it, he immediately sent his henchmen eunuchs to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office to supervise the war, for fear that these poor people in the yamen would fish at a critical moment.
These eunuchs came to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office not long after they went out to separate operations, and waited until Yang Shijun and they successfully captured the spies, and they did not leave, because if they did not confirm that every spy had been caught, they would not be able to return to the palace to make a mission.
When Zhou Zhou Ming first came back, these eunuchs were a little disappointed in their hearts, because they saw that Zhou Zhou Ming did not bring the prisoner back, but was injured, which obviously let the prisoner go.
If they bring back the news of the failure of this arrest mission, the emperor will definitely be furious, he will not only punish these poor people who do not do things well, but they will also suffer if they bring back this bad news, after all, the emperor is now old and has a very bad temper.
But when they heard Zhou Zhou Ming say that he had killed the prisoner, these eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but there was no evidence to support Zhou Ming's statement for the time being, so they could only continue to wait, hoping that Zhou Zhou Ming was telling the truth.
As a result, at the end, Zhou Zhou Ming told such a shocking conspiracy, which frightened these eunuchs.
After all, although they are now working as servants in the palace, they live a worry-free life, relying on the master's reward every day, and they are also clothed and fed.
As the saying goes, chaos is not as good as a peace dog, and when war is chaotic, the life of normal people is not guaranteed, not to mention these eunuchs who rely on the emperor to live in the world.
An elderly eunuch couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and before Han Pingzhi, he asked Zhou Ming with a serious face: "Zhou Zhutou, if the matter is really as you said, this case is very important, I don't know how you handled it later?" ”
Zhou Zhou Ming turned his head to look at the eunuch, and felt that his eyes were angry for a while, so he looked back at Han Pingzhi and asked him with his eyes, who is this person.
Han Pingzhi reacted quickly, immediately walked over, and introduced very decently: "Zhou Zhutou, this is the father-in-law from the palace, and he is the personal attendant of the emperor today, because the case we handled is very important, so the emperor is not at ease, and sent them here to listen to the news." ”
Zhou Ming suddenly realized, thinking that Han Pingzhi's brain was turning really fast, what kind of inquiry, this is simply the prison army sent by the emperor to monitor us, this is for fear that we will not do our best when carrying out the arrest task, this emperor's old man is suspicious enough.
Zhou Zhou Ming immediately stood up, bowed to the father-in-law, and said respectfully: "Return to the father-in-law, do an errand for the emperor, and dare not have the slightest neglect."
The Supreme Daoist has been slain by me, and her body is in a grove on the outskirts of the city, and as for the woman of good family, for the sake of her innocence and reputation, I have sent her home safely. ”
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, the father-in-law who asked was very satisfied, and couldn't help but praise Zhou Ming's errand beautifully, while successfully killing the supreme Taoist, he also considered the reputation of the victim girl, such a delicate young man, over time, will definitely become a pillar of the country.
"Your name is Zhou Ming, right?" The father-in-law nodded in satisfaction and asked again.
Zhou Ming gave his hand again: "It's exactly below." ”
"The errand is good, we will report to the emperor truthfully when we go back, this time you have made a great contribution, and the emperor will definitely be rewarded." That father-in-law was very happy in his heart, because Zhou Zhou Ming disposed of that supreme Taoist so beautifully, it can be said that he single-handedly kept the safety of the Great Chu Kingdom, and at the same time, he was able to let their father-in-law return to the palace with a good news, avoiding the danger of being punished.
After Han Pingzhi knew the ins and outs of the matter, and saw that Zhou Zhou Ming was so appreciated by those fathers-in-law, he was very happy for Zhou Ming in his heart, although he stole a lot of limelight, but as long as this arrest plan was successfully completed, he, the nominal person in charge, would still receive a great reward.
At this time, the people in the house were very happy, because they were busy for most of the night, and finally solved those spies in the north perfectly, and their hard work was not in vain.
Only Yang Shijun and those white-clothed guards were not happy at all, because the huge conspiracy that Zhou Zhou Ming just said had an inseparable relationship with Yan Qiu, although Yan Qiu was just a tool and a scapegoat in this conspiracy, but once this conspiracy was known by the emperor, no one knew what he would think in his heart.
If the relationship between the emperor and Yan Qiu broke down because of this reason, then the biggest victim after this arrest mission was Yan Qiu.
Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards under him can be said to be a community of interests with Yan Qiu, as the so-called one is both prosperous and one is lost, and the credit they made tonight is not worth mentioning at all compared with Yan Qiu's reputation and future.
And as soon as Yang Shijun saw the father-in-law who was favored in front of the emperor, he admired Zhou Ming so much, and he didn't get angry, he always felt that Zhou Zhou Ming could crack this conspiracy and kill the supreme Taoist, it was all shit luck.
The martial arts cultivation of that Supreme Daoist must be very low, maybe he sent a servant to catch the Supreme Daoist, and he could catch it, and the greatest credit for this capture task should be himself.
Yang Shijun saw that several fathers-in-law and Zhou Ming exchanged a few words of greeting, and he had the intention of leaving, he immediately became anxious, because he understood that he had to take advantage of the presence of these fathers-in-law to prove that what Zhou Zhou Ming said was all, and there was no conspiracy at all, and whether Zhou Zhou Ming killed the supreme Taoist or not also had to put a big question mark.
He did this not only to take credit for himself in this arrest operation, but more importantly, as long as he can prove that Zhou Zhou Ming is all lying, the conspiracy will be self-defeating, and Yan Qiu's reputation and image will be preserved.
"Wonderful, so wonderful!" The atmosphere in the room was originally peaceful, and without warning, Yang Shijun slapped his hands with both hands, and then gave a thumbs up to Zhou Ming, "Zhou Zhutou, just rely on your imagination, you are eloquent, being a little head catcher, I really wronged you."
I see that you go to the bottom of the vegetable market bridge to tell stories, which is more promising than you being a head catcher. ”
Everyone present was stunned, not understanding what Yang Shijun meant when he said this.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and finally all eyes fell on Zhou Ming.
Zhou Zhou Ming looked at Yang Shijun's shameless appearance, and understood in his heart that this guy might feel that his limelight was too big and robbed him of his credit, so he was looking for his own trouble.
Then he thought that the conspiracy he said just now had a great relationship with Yan Qiu, the master of the white guard, and Yang Shijun wanted to take the opportunity to find fault and clear his master's name.
Zhou Ming didn't panic, thinking that if you have any ability, even if you use it, Lao Tzu's soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, and it will be more than enough to deal with you.
"Lord Yang, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Zhou Ming deliberately pretended to be very surprised, "Are you suspecting that what I just said is a lie?" ”
"Isn't it fake or real?" A white-clothed guard stood up and asked in a cold tone.
Yang Shijun pressed the white-clothed guard, he took two steps forward, stared at Zhou Ming's eyes, and said with a meaningful smile: "Zhou Zhutou, is it a lie, is it telling a story, you know better than me in your heart."
But there is one thing I admire you very much, your story is very good, if it weren't for my Yang Mou who has been in the officialdom for many years and has seen countless strange cases, maybe I would have believed the story you told. ”
Those fathers-in-law who were originally going to go back to the palace on a business trip, saw that things had suddenly changed, and they immediately became nervous, they hoped that Zhou Zhou Ming was telling the truth, but Yang Shijun suddenly raised questions, and they had to pay attention to it, after all, if they brought a fake news back to restore their lives, it would be a crime of bullying the monarch and they would be killed.
Han Pingzhi saw that the tension on both sides was like fire and water, and he panicked all of a sudden, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to stop Yang Shijun: "Lord Yang, we are all brothers who run errands together, don't hurt the harmony because of some trivial things, if you have something in your heart, you can talk about it in private." ”
"Lord Han, are you trying to shield the surname Zhou?" Yang Shijun suddenly turned his face and asked with wide eyes.
