Chapter 90: What Do You Say About This?
Han Pingzhi didn't expect that Yang Shijun, who had always been very favored by Yan Qiu's side, was actually a soft bone at a critical moment, not only did he not jump over the wall in a hurry, but chose to fight to the death with himself, but he was unusual, and became low, and his words did not have the previous arrogance and domineering, and his tone also revealed the meaning of pleading.
This made Han Pingzhi's nerves, which had been tense, relaxed, and he understood that Yang Shijun might be a soft bone who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and he didn't have the courage to talk nonsense with him.
He said coldly: "Since you don't want Yan Gong to worry about it, then please ask Lord Yang to control his subordinates, as long as this arrest mission can be a complete success, I will naturally not forget your merits." ”
"Yes, Lord Han, I understand." Being humiliated in front of a person who he looked down on before, Yang Shijun felt ashamed and couldn't raise his head, but at this moment, he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only vent his anger on a few subordinates.
"You still don't want me to get back! I, Yang Shijun, am a fair and honest person, and I am willing to gamble and lose, even if it is finally proved that the surname Zhou really killed the supreme Taoist, although I have no resentment in death, I don't need you to use conspiracies and tricks to solve the trouble for me. ”
Yang Shijun roared at the four white-clothed guards.
The four white-clothed guards were angry in their hearts, and said that a few of us made this decision to save your life, but after being exposed, not only did you kid not save us, but also fell into the well under the pressure of others, put all the blame on us, and said that he was like a saint, if you are really so backbone, you should stop us as soon as you saw us slipping out just now.
The four of them returned to their original positions in anger, the expressions on their faces were all cold and abnormal, although their hearts were full of anger, but at this moment, they couldn't do anything, because although they were already full of contempt and hatred for this Yang Shijun in their hearts, he was still their boss in name after all, and on the surface they still didn't dare to disobey Yang Shijun.
After all, although the White Guards organization is ruthless and indifferent, and the competition is fierce, there is a strict hierarchy, and the subordinates must obey their superiors unconditionally, and if they are disrespectful, they will be punished greatly, and even lose their lives because of it.
When several fathers-in-law saw such a funny scene, they felt funny in their hearts, but also gave birth to a lot of contempt, and at the same time, they were all curious in their hearts, how could the most favored strict request in front of the emperor have such unbearable subordinates, they are not only incompetent, but also despicable and shameless, for their own selfish interests, any low-level and shameless means can be used.
On the contrary, it is the world-famous Zhou Ming, who not only looks like a talent, but also seems to be very capable, and he has done so at a young age, and his future is limitless.
In the strong contrast, several fathers-in-law had an infinite affection for Zhou Ming, and at the same time made up their minds that if they encountered a conflict between Bai Yiwei and Zhou Ming in the future, as long as it was within their ability, they would definitely help Zhou Ming and leave a way back for themselves.
Seeing that Yang Shijun bowed his head in front of him, Han Pingzhi didn't want to do things desperately, as the so-called killing was not too much, even if Yang Shijun didn't pass this hurdle, and finally was willing to gamble and lose, and was killed by Zhou Ming, he also wanted to save some face for Yan Qiu, so he decided to let Yang Shijun and his men go for the time being.
In fact, the issue he is most concerned about at the moment is not Yang Shijun's life or death, nor whether Zhou Zhou Ming will win the gambling game, but whether the Supreme Daoist escapes, which is directly related to whether he can be promoted and make a fortune.
"Brother Zhou, it's good that you reacted quickly, otherwise we would probably be busy in vain, not only will we not be able to complete this arrest mission, but we will also be punished by the imperial court." Han Pingzhi walked back to Zhou Ming's side and said earnestly, "You haven't finished what you said just now, please continue to talk and tell us all how you finally defeated the throwing knife of the throwing knife." ”
Zhou Ming thought that Han Pingzhi would take advantage of this opportunity to continue to suppress and clean up Yang Shijun, but he didn't expect that he actually stopped, although he was disappointed for a while, but Zhou Ming also understood that an old oilman in officialdom like Han Pingzhi would leave room for himself when he did anything, and he would never do things perfectly.
Zhou Zhou Ming smiled bitterly, and continued to finish what he had just said, when he talked about how to resist the two flying knives of the Supreme Daoist at the last moment, and finally turned defeat into victory, everyone present was terrified, because everyone understood that the reason why Zhou Zhou Ming was able to escape this catastrophe was of course a very important aspect of martial arts cultivation and perception, but a more important aspect was that luck was on his side.
If the luck of the Supreme Daoist was a little better, Zhou Zhou Ming would have been dead for a long time at this time.
"As for why I didn't get the Supreme Daoist's body back, it's actually very simple." Zhou Zhou Ming continued, "At that time, the woman from a good family who was kidnapped by the Supreme Daoist was in the Peach Blossom Temple, and the sky was already bright, I was afraid that after the Taoist priest in the Taoist Temple woke up, he would find that the woman would be unfavorable to her, and once the woman's identity was revealed, it would be difficult for her to be a person in the future."
So after killing the Supreme Daoist, I returned to the Peach Blossom Temple as soon as possible, and then sent the woman home safely.
After doing this, I was afraid that if the delay was too long, Lord Han would be in a hurry, so I hurried back to resume my life. ”
After listening to Zhou Ming's narration, everyone felt that it was clear and logical, and it didn't seem like a lie at all.
Yang Shijun's face became more and more ugly, because he knew very well in his heart that Zhou Ming could say this, and his tone had always been very confident when he spoke, which fully proved that the Supreme Daoist had been killed by him, and the gamble between himself and him would undoubtedly be lost.
Thinking of the picture of his head being taken off by Zhou Ming, Yang Shijun trembled, but at this time he was not completely desperate, he had always been lucky in his heart, hoping that during the time that Zhou Ming was not in the grove, there would be a fierce beast in the grove, and then the corpse of the Supreme Daoist would be eaten, and then Zhou Ming's words would be dead without proof, and then he would not only be able to save his life, but also cause Zhou Ming to die.
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Han Pingzhi danced happily, and after turning around in place three times, he grabbed Zhou Yan Yiming's shoulder: "Brother Zhou, you are good, you can defeat a strong enemy in such a dangerous situation, keep the safety of our capital, and save the face of my Great Chu State."
Don't worry, when I report this case to the imperial court, I will definitely report your merits truthfully and ask the imperial court to reward you greatly. ”
"Thank you, Lord Han!" Monday Ming clenched his fists and hurriedly thanked him.
Several fathers-in-law who have been watching the show on the sidelines, seeing this scene, are also happy for Zhou Ming, because this time Zhou Ming can not only get a reward, but they can also bring good news to the emperor.
Several fathers-in-law hurriedly gathered around and congratulated Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming was careful to entertain, and he didn't dare to be the slightest slack about the poor people in the palace.
Several white-clothed guards under Yang Shijun were very unconvinced when they saw Zhou Ming so beautiful, and they also felt that the reason why Zhou Zhou Ming was able to defeat the Supreme Daoist was completely lucky, if it was them, they would be able to do the same.
They were originally in a bad mood, but after seeing Yang Shijun with a sad face beside them, their mood immediately improved, because they suddenly found that the most unlucky person in the yamen of the general government at this moment was not them, but Yang Shijun.
As long as he waited for a while to bring back the body of the Supreme Daoist, Yang Shijun's life could be taken by Zhou Ming at any time.
Han Pingzhi was happy, but he didn't forget the business, and after Zhou Zhou Ming finished talking to those fathers-in-law, he hurriedly said to Zhou Ming: "Brother Zhou, this case is very important, in order to prevent a long night and many dreams, you quickly tell me where the body of the Supreme Daoist is now, and I will immediately send someone to carry him back." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards' ears pricked up, and they knew in their hearts that as long as they heard where the corpse was hidden, they still had room to save everything.
Zhou Zhou Ming was shocked, he didn't understand why Han Pingzhi asked this question in front of everyone, did he have the heart to help Yang Shijun?
Zhou Zhou Ming did not answer Han Pingzhi's question, but looked at Yang Shijun and them with his eyes, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Han Pingzhi Bingxue was smart, after he saw Zhou Zhou Ming's appearance, he immediately understood that he had asked this question abruptly, and the occasion was not right, at least he couldn't ask it in front of Yang Shijun and them.
He smiled helplessly, and hurriedly said to Zhou Ming: "Brother Zhou, don't think about it too much, Yang was overjoyed for a while, forgot some evasions, and asked my brother to forgive me."
I also know that Brother Zhou has a lot of concerns, but I can guarantee here that even if you tell the location of the body in front of Lord Yang, he will definitely not destroy it. ”
Yang Shijun was shocked, thinking to himself, is this old Han so confident in me? Is he trying to save me?
Those white-clothed guards were also confused, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in Han Pingzhi's gourd.
Zhou Zhou Ming also looked at Han Pingzhi with puzzled eyes, hoping that he could give him a clear explanation.
"Lord Han, what do you mean by that?"
"Brother Zhou, don't you understand this?" Han Pingzhi smiled mysteriously, then deliberately raised his voice and said, "As long as the body of the Supreme Daoist is not returned, Lord Yang and his subordinates will not be able to leave the Yamen of the General Affairs Mansion for half a step. ”
Yang Shijun, who had rekindled hope for his life, was completely disheartened when he heard these words, thinking that this was the end of his life, Han Pingzhi completely ignored his previous friendship with him, not only did he not plan to come to the rescue, but fell into the ground, in order to help Zhou Ming, but even did not hesitate to restrict the freedom of himself and his subordinates, which was simply forcing himself to death.
Han Pingzhi made such a guarantee to himself, and Zhou Ming did not hesitate anymore, and directly told the location of the body of the Supreme Daoist, and reminded Han Pingzhi that the person sent to move the corpse must be very reliable.
