Chapter 84 There is another way
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Han Pingzhi and those fathers-in-law were all confused, and they couldn't understand what he meant by these words, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that these words were contradictory.
At this time, the situation Zhou Ming is facing is already very dangerous, and his top priority at the moment is to immediately clear his suspicion of lying, otherwise once he is found to have deceived his boss with lies, the crime will be unforgivable.
When the time comes, he discovers that the merits of the spy will not only be wiped out, but also because of the poor handling of the case, he will be punished for felony crimes, exile at worst, and loss of life at worst.
And the most effective way to clear the suspicion of lying is to find out the only witness, that is, the woman from a good family, and confront him in court, and all the problems can be solved.
If it were an ordinary person, in the face of this situation, he would definitely not hesitate to say the home address of the woman from a good family, so as to clear his charge as soon as possible, but Zhou Zhou Ming just didn't play his cards according to common sense, he knew the life experience of the woman from a good family, but he deliberately didn't say it, is this unclear is looking for death?
Although Han Pingzhi and Zhou Ming have only known each other for one day, he has a very good impression of this young man, and he understands in his heart that as long as this young man develops smoothly, the future prospects are limitless, and as long as he makes friends with him, maybe it will also help him in his future career.
Therefore, in public and private, Han Pingzhi did not want Zhou Yiming to ruin his future or even lose his life because of this arrest mission.
"Zhou Zhutou, why are you doing this? If you really feel that you have a clear conscience, you can tell me the home address of this good woman, this is the best way to clear your name. ”
Han Pingyi said with an anxious face.
Those fathers-in-law were not familiar with Zhou Ming, and when they saw that Zhou Zhou Ming did not intend to tell the identity of the woman from a good family, they were already inclined to Yang Shijun, and they doubted the authenticity of every word Zhou Ming said.
Several people exchanged glances with each other and asked each other if they should go home, because they all felt that as long as the woman from a good family didn't come out, the matter would be closed, and Zhou Ming would not be able to turn over again.
The four white-clothed guards on the side were very surprised when they saw that Zhou Zhou Ming didn't tell the woman from a good family, but after thinking about it, they showed a smug smile, because they all felt that Zhou Zhou Ming must have done this because there was no such woman from a good family at all, and this woman and the conspiracy he just said were all made up by him, and the purpose was to deceive the credit.
After figuring out this, these white-clothed guards looked at Yang Shijun with admiration, thinking that their top boss was still very smart, and they immediately saw Zhou Ming's conspiracy, and their top boss not only had a unique vision, but also full of courage, after seeing through all this, they actually dared to make dangerous moves, and suddenly let Zhou Zhouming's true form be revealed, and there was no chance to turn over.
Yang Shijun, who was waiting for Zhou Ming to make a move, saw that he refused to say the woman from a good family, and at the same time, he was quite disappointed in his heart, feeling that Zhou Zhou Ming was not his opponent at all.
He looked at several fathers-in-law and said with a hippie smile: "A few adults, I can't hide it, I, Yang, have also made a miracle before, but I am not known by outsiders." ”
Several fathers-in-law asked very cooperatively: "Lord Yang, what is the credit?" You can tell us about it, and if the matter is true, we can make it clear for Lord Yang in front of the emperor. ”
"The emperor doesn't need to be disturbed. It came to pass that I was young in my early years, and I had been on an errand in the north for a few years, and when I was on patrol, I met the king of the south in the north, and I was killed by me. Yang Shijun said as he looked at Zhou Ming with his eyes, and at the same time showed a mocking smile, "At that time, in addition to me, there was a small soldier present, but this soldier was tired of killing and wanted to return to his hometown to live a peaceful life.
I saw that he was pitiful, so I could only promise him that the body of the king of the south was later snatched back by the northerners.
King Nan's body is gone, and there is no witness, and I can't bear to disturb the soldier's stable life, so no one knows about this miracle to this day.
Later, every time I thought about it, I felt a desolation in my heart, but I couldn't help it, who made me promise that soldier? I can only swallow the bitterness in my stomach. ”
After saying this, Yang Shijun couldn't help it, barely covered his mouth, and couldn't stop laughing.
Several of his white-clothed guards were also amused by his words.
Those fathers-in-law, when they first saw Yang Shijun looking like they were worried, they thought he was telling the truth, but after hearing it, they realized that Yang Shijun was referring to Sang scolding Huai and using these words to humiliate Zhou Ming.
Although they have no grievances with Zhou Ming, and they are poor people who came out of the palace, they should have remained neutral, but Yang Shijun's words were so wonderful that they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Among all the people present, except for Zhou Ming, only Han Pingzhi had a serious expression.
He saw that Zhou Ming's face was pale, and the green tendons of his hand holding the Seven Star Sword were exposed, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He immediately ran to Zhou Ming's side, held down his hand holding the knife, and then whispered, "Zhou Zhutou, don't you see what the situation is now?" Now that woman from a good family is the only one who can save you, why don't you tell her?
Look at those people, especially those fathers-in-law, if they believe Yang Shijun's words, you will die without a place to be buried, do you understand? ”
Han Pingzhi's words moved Zhou Ming's heart, he looked at Han Pingzhi's eyes, and slowly said: "Lord Han, thank you for taking care of me, it's just that I can't hurt others in order to save myself." ”
Although Zhou Ming's voice was not high, everyone present heard it.
Yang Shijun stopped laughing and looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, wanting to see what he would say next.
Several fathers-in-law were also confused by Zhou Ming's words, why would you hurt others by telling the identity of that good family woman?
"Zhou Zhutou, what do you mean by that? Let's just let that girl's family come out to testify, how can it hurt others? Are we a bandit den here? Han Pingzhi didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant for the first time.
Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly, his mood calmed down a lot, and his hand holding the Seven Star Sword loosened a little: "Lord Han, you have been an official in the officialdom for many years, you don't even understand what I'm thinking, right?" ”
Han Pingzhi shook his head, he really didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant.
Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards also didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd on Monday.
Zhou Zhou Ming stood in place awe-inspiringly, his eyes swept over everyone in the room, and finally stopped at Han Pingzhi's body: "Lord Han, a woman from a good family, and she has not left the cabinet, reputation and innocence are her life, I believe you also understand this."
Last night, I had a big battle with the Supreme Daoist, and I saved the life of the woman from a good family under the condition of nine deaths, if I now tell the identity of the person for my own interests, how can you let this woman from a good family raise her head in the future? ”
Han Pingzhi suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that Zhou Zhou Ming insisted on not telling the identity of the woman from a good family just now in order to protect others, such good intentions are really admirable.
"Brother Zhou, you are really a husband!" Han Pingzhi said with heartfelt admiration.
When several fathers-in-law heard Zhou Ming say this, they were also quite emotional.
Yang Shijun and those white-clothed guards were also quite shocked at this time, but they had been white-clothed guards for many years, and the feelings of normal people on their bodies had long since disappeared, so after a short period of surprise, they immediately returned to their usual coldness and ruthlessness.
Yang Shijun even continued to sneer: "The supreme Taoist is dead, there is no proof of death, and you don't say it if you live or die from that woman from a good family, and you still protect others in the name of protecting others, so isn't what you just said just a foolish account?" Say whatever you want, no one can confirm it anyway.
Zhou Zhutou, I really admire you, your trick is too high. ”
"We can also say that if no one confirms it, it's fake."
"That's right, it's impossible to fool us around."
Several white-clothed guards said aggressively.
Although Han Pingzhi admired Zhou Ming's actions very much, if he didn't come up with favorable evidence to prove that what Zhou Zhou Ming said just now was true, and everything was meaningless, Yang Shijun would definitely hold on to Zhou Ming until he was put to death.
He walked up to Zhou Ming and asked nervously, "Brother Zhou, isn't there any other way to prove your innocence and merit except for that woman from a good family?" ”
At this time, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly became full of confidence again, because when Yang Shijun told that story just now, he originally wanted to mock Zhou Ming, but Zhou Zhou Ming found inspiration from that story.
He smiled and looked at Yang Shijun, but answered Han Pingzhi's question: "There is another way." ”
"Huh?" Yang Shijun, who thought that Zhou Ming would definitely be poor in donkey skills, immediately became vigilant when he heard Zhou Ming say this.
"Surnamed Zhou, you don't have to struggle anymore, admit your guilt honestly."
"Frankly, if you have a good performance, maybe our Lord Yang will follow up and plead for mercy, and we can be lenient with you."
Several white-clothed guards were completely unimpressed by Zhou Ming's words, and even began to mock.
Although the fathers-in-law didn't know what Zhou Zhou Ming said, they still had something to look forward to, after all, as long as Zhou Zhou Ming proved that what he said was true, they would be able to go back to the palace to bring good news to the emperor, and on the other hand, it would prove that Zhou Zhou Ming was talking nonsense, and it would not do them any good.
Han Pingzhi hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhou, what is the method you are talking about?" As long as I Han can do my best, I will definitely help you. ”
Han Pingzhi's words aroused Yang Shijun's dissatisfaction, after all, the two of them were colleagues before, and now Han Pingzhi's actions are obviously elbows turned out.
