Chapter 85: Watch a good show
But at this moment, Han Pingzhi can't care about looking at Yang Shijun's face, he has to help Zhou Ming in both public and private, because this is related to the development of his career.
For official reasons, Han Pingzhi is the person in charge of this arrest operation, if it is proved that Zhou Zhou Ming did not complete the task in the end and the arrested object escaped, then it can be directly declared that the arrest operation failed, and Han Pingzhi, as the person in charge, will be fully responsible.
First of all, there were so many spies in the northern kingdom in Huijing at once, and Han Pingzhi, as the head of the General Affairs Office, was unaware of it, which was a crime of dereliction of duty in itself, and as a result, Zhou Ming risked his life and sent the secret report to him.
The result of the failure can only prove that Han Pingzhi not only failed to do his usual intelligence work well, but even lost his own job as a housekeeper and the ability to arrest important criminals in the imperial court.
If the current Holy Dragon Yan is furious and investigated, Han Pingzhi's first crime will not escape, and when the time comes, all the forces in the capital will face pressure, and they will definitely desperately shake the pot, and now Han Pingzhi, who does not belong to any party, is likely to become the ultimate scapegoat, once the matter reaches this point, he will definitely die.
Even out of personal considerations, Han Pingzhi didn't have to help Yang Shijun, because he had already left the White Guards organization, and the reason why he left was precisely because the White Guards organization was too ruthless and unjust, and he couldn't stand such a feeling.
Although Yan Qiu has the grace of knowing him, but that is already in the past, now that he is out of his sphere of influence, there is no obligation to help him, not to mention that the future may belong to Zhou Ming, Han Pingzhi finally encountered this opportunity to hug his thighs, and he must not miss it.
Taking into account various considerations, Han Pingzhi must save Zhou Ming at such a critical moment, even if he pays the price of his life.
Seeing that Han Pingzhi didn't take himself seriously at all, Yang Shijun was furious, he slapped the table and shouted: "Han Pingzhi, don't get carried away, don't forget who promoted you to such a high position, and whose food you ate."
We are deeply favored by Yan Gong, no matter where we go, we must put our position right, if someone is ungrateful, Yan Gong and his old man are not in his eyes, I will not agree to the weapon in my hand. ”
Yang Shijun patronized and scared Han Pingzhi, and vented the evil breath in his heart, completely forgetting the occasion and who was there.
As soon as he said this, even several white-clothed guards under him were stunned, wondering if our boss was crazy? No matter how dissatisfied he is with Han Pingzhi in his heart, he can't count him down like this in front of the people in the palace, isn't this obviously not taking the emperor seriously? If these words were told to the emperor by those fathers-in-law, it would cause great trouble to Duke Yan.
Han Pingzhi was already so anxious about Zhou Ming's matter that he was in a bad mood, and for no reason he heard Yang Shijun not take himself seriously and openly scold himself in front of so many people, and his temper also came up.
"Lord Yang, be careful what you say! This is the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, it is my territory, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, don't you understand this truth? Han Pingzhi gritted his teeth and stared at Yang Shijun angrily, "Also, Yan Gong has been kind to me and recreated, and I have always kept this kindness in my heart."
But I am now an official of the Great Chu State, and I am eating the money of the imperial court, and I can achieve my current official position, and I also have to thank the current emperor for his promotion.
Now that you are carrying Yan Gong out in front of several fathers-in-law in the palace, and saying so many rebellious words, where do you want to put Yan Gong? ”
The fathers-in-law next to them felt very uneasy when they heard Yang Shijun's words just now, but they didn't think of anything wrong for a while, and when they heard Han Pingzhi's impassioned rebuttal at this moment, they suddenly realized.
It turned out that Yang Shijun's words were not only uneared, but they were simply a blatant rebellion against the emperor, and those words were either explicitly or implicitly hinting at Han Pingzhi, he was able to sit in such a high official position, completely by asking for it, and the rice bowl in his hand was also strictly rewarded, if these words were true, then where did they put the emperor? Is this world strict?
After thinking about the meaning of these words, these fathers-in-law slowly stepped aside and stared at Yang Shijun with indifferent eyes.
At this time, the situation on the scene took a 180-degree turn, and Yang Shijun, who was supposed to win the game, made a big mistake under impulse, he thought that Han Pingzhi would be taught a lesson by himself, and he would definitely immediately switch camps, give up Zhou Ming, and help himself.
But what he didn't expect was that Han Pingzhi was not only unmoved, but instead competed with himself, and dared to scold himself loudly, what surprised him even more was that what Han Pingzhi said was reasonable, and he was speechless for a while.
After seeing the reactions of those fathers-in-law, Yang Shijun was even more frightened, he came to help Han Pingzhi arrest the spies of the Northern Kingdom this time, just to be a favor, after all, there was such a big event in the imperial city, and if Yan Qiu, who held heavy troops, did not do anything, it would be difficult to get rid of it.
But the words he said in anger just now have already committed a big taboo, even if Yan Qiu has an unusual relationship with the current emperor, if his words reach the ears of the emperor, not only will he not be able to eat and walk around, but Yan Qiu will also burn himself and be harmed by himself.
Thinking of these terrible consequences, Yang Shijun was at a loss for a while, he didn't know what to do, he tried to calm himself down, and then smiled all over his face: "Lord Han, don't be angry, just now I lost my mind for a while, I didn't choose to speak, and I deserved to die."
However, I have no bad intentions, just to get to the bottom of the case as soon as possible, so that some people don't fish in troubled waters and cause trouble in vain. ”
"Humph!" Han Pingzhi sneered, "What thoughts you have in your heart, you know it in your own heart, but I want to tell you one thing, you are doing nonsense outside, causing trouble, I have no problem finding death by yourself, but don't insult the reputation of Yan Gong." ”
This sentence is deafening, on the one hand, it reminds Yang Shijun that no matter what you have in mind, you must not talk nonsense on this occasion, and on the other hand, he is also indirectly telling Yang Shijun that he is still grateful to Yan Qiu in his heart.
The instantaneous performance of the two people and the words they said were judged, and even the four white-clothed guards brought by Yang Shijun had to admit in their hearts that what Yang Shijun said just now was too substandard, compared to him, it was Han Pingzhi's words that did not leak, which not only refuted Yang Shijun's fallacy, but also took Yan Qiu out of this matter.
Yang Shijun knew that he was at a loss, and was speechless for Han Pingzhi's words, and was embarrassed for a long time, and finally could only be cheeky and knelt down directly in front of several fathers-in-law: "A few adults, just now the villain was impulsive, he didn't choose his words, and he was disrespectful to the emperor between his words, and the villain deserved death."
Please ask a few adults to see what the villain is, and one person bears it, and it has nothing to do with Yan Gong.
And the villain just said those words in order to figure out the case as soon as possible, and he was in a hurry and confused. ”
Yang Shijun knew in his heart that whether he could put Zhou Ming to death at this time was no longer the most important thing, he must make it clear before these fathers-in-law returned to the palace, even if he was guilty, he couldn't let Yan Qiu be affected by himself.
Several fathers-in-law looked confused, for the scene in front of them, they didn't know what to do, although what Yang Shijun said just now, according to common sense, the crime is unforgivable, but it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, he is a strict person, and Yan Qiu is the first favored celebrity in front of the emperor.
At this time, there is also a difficult problem in front of them, if they return to the palace to tell the emperor what Yang Shijun said just now, the emperor is angry, and the next will is okay to punish the crime, in case the emperor does not take these words seriously at all, but blames them for meddling, then the matter will be bad.
When the time comes, not only will they not be favored by the emperor, but they will also be offended by Yan Qiu, and this kind of thankless thing will not be done by fools.
If they don't tell the emperor the news, they will still be implicated in the future, and no matter which choice they make, they will take huge risks.
Zhou Ming, who was already the target of everyone, suddenly had nothing to do and became the most relaxed spectator on the scene, such an identity change made him a little uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing Yang Shijun, who had just been invincible, kneeling in front of several fathers-in-law at this time, looking embarrassed, Zhou Ming's heart blossomed, he sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and watched the show leisurely while drinking tea, for fear of missing a picture.
Han Pingzhi saw that Yang Shijun had been punished as he deserved, and planned to come out to clean up the mess, after all, he used to be strict with his subordinates, although he had left that circle, but there were still inextricable links between the two, and this place was the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, his own territory, if things really got bigger, his face would not look good.
"If a few fathers-in-law are embarrassed, it is better to leave this matter to me." Han Pingzhi walked in front of several fathers-in-law and said respectfully, "After this case is over, I will write a special chapter to the imperial court, and I will know the handling of this case. ”
Several fathers-in-law breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time they were grateful to Han Pingzhi, because if he didn't make a move, let them do it, and in the end, maybe they would die in a different place.
Han Pingzhi's performance Zhou Ming saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire it very much, he was worthy of being a human spirit who had been in the officialdom for so many years, this old Han was well versed in the truth of left and right, and he was really an old fritter.
Yang Shijun, who was extremely frightened in his heart, was anxiously waiting for the answers of several fathers-in-law, and when he heard Han Pingzhi's words, he was so moved that he almost cried.
