Chapter Ninety-One: Waiting
After hearing Zhou Ming's reminder, Han Pingzhi smiled slightly: "Brother Zhou, you can rest assured, I have served as the head of the General Affairs Office for a period of time, although I have no outstanding political achievements, but I still have a group of loyal and reliable subordinates, and this matter will be handed over to them, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming nodded reassuringly: "In this matter, there is Lord Lao Han." ”
Yang Shijun, who was sitting on the side, was already dead at the moment, although he felt extremely regretful for the stupid behavior of betting against Zhou Ming just now, but at this moment he had no way to make up for it, he could only resign himself to fate and wait for death to come.
And his subordinates were relaxed at the moment, because from the moment Yang Shijun fell into the well for them, this matter had nothing to do with them, but they were looking forward to Zhou Zhou Ming being able to win the gamble as soon as possible and send Yang Shijun on the road to relieve their hatred.
As for whether the big conspiracy involved in this case will have an impact on Yan Qiu, this is no longer within the scope of their consideration, because after all, Yang Shijun is the leader of this operation, even if this operation fails, or leads to something unfavorable to the White Guard organization, all the responsibility is Yang Shijun alone, and it has nothing to do with them.
The princes in the palace did not see the body of the Supreme Daoist, and they could not return to the palace to restore their lives, after all, if there is no evidence to support what Zhou Zhou Ming said, there are still big doubts about whether the arrest operation was a complete success.
Therefore, they must confirm the authenticity of everything before they can return to the palace to resume their lives.
Han Pingzhi immediately stopped and ordered his subordinates to call a few tall officials.
These officials have been working in the yamen of the General Affairs Office all the year round, all of them are old and serious, they are all about forty years old, each of them is the most trustworthy person of Han Pingzhi, and he is generally reluctant to send them out of the horse if he usually has any hard work, because the case is very important, and the body of the Supreme Taoist is the most important evidence, so he decided to send these officials out to do this errand.
Han Pingzhi handed over this errand to those officials in front of everyone on the scene, and repeatedly emphasized to them that the errand they did was very important, if there was a little mistake, not only would they lose their heads, but even they would be implicated and lose their official positions.
After listening to Han Pingzhi's words, several officials felt sincerely afraid, and they did not dare to neglect this errand in the slightest, and even repeatedly assured Han Pingzhi that even if they lost their lives, they would bring back the corpse of the Supreme Daoist.
"Okay, with your awareness, I'm relieved." Han Pingzhi stood in front of them and said with a look of relief, "You must go back quickly, there can be no delay on the road, if you encounter anyone to stop you, you can directly show the waist card I gave you, and you can be unimpeded." ”
"Yes, Lord Han, we remember."
Several officials said in unison.
Han Pingzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you guys go, I'll wait for your good news." ”
"Yes!"
After several officials clenched their fists and bowed their hands, they immediately prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Ming suddenly spoke.
Han Pingzhi was puzzled for a while, he looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "Brother Zhou, do you have anything else to add?" ”
"Yes." After Zhou Zhou Ming answered Han Pingzhi's question, he turned his gaze to the officials, "Brothers, maybe you don't know that although this mission is only to carry a corpse, it is also quite dangerous. ”
Those officials are Han Pingzhi's henchmen, and they are usually pampered and arrogant, so they don't pay attention to ordinary people at all, and when they saw a stranger suddenly stand up and speak, several people didn't want to deal with it, but when they saw their boss being so polite to this stranger, they realized that this stranger was not simple, so they immediately respected it.
"I wonder who this adult is?" One of the officials asked.
Without waiting for Zhou Ming to speak, Han Pingzhi introduced: "Don't you even know him?" He is the Zhou Ming I often mention to you, the big hero who solved the case of the disappearance of the woman and became famous all over the world, it is him! ”
After learning Zhou Ming's identity, these officials hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "It turned out to be Lord Zhou, Lord Han often mentions you in front of me, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
"It's over." Zhou Ming is rarely humble.
After a few simple greetings, several officials asked Zhou Ming curiously: "Lord Zhou, you just said that our errand to move the corpse is very dangerous, why on earth?" Isn't that man dead? Also dangerous? ”
The other people present were also very concerned about the answer to this question, and their eyes were focused on Zhou Ming's body, wanting to know how he would answer.
Zhou Zhou Ming looked at several officials and said slowly: "This person fought with me, although there were many dangers in the process, but in the end I killed him, and before leaving, I had already confirmed that he was indeed dead."
When I say dangerous, I don't mean he's still alive or aggressive, but that the way he died was too special. ”
The more everyone listened, the more curious they became, and they all pricked up their ears, especially the few officials who listened attentively, for fear of missing a word and affecting the success or failure of their operation.
"Although he was slashed by me in the end, before he died, he had already shot two throwing knives, one of which was blocked by me and bounced into a tree, while the other knife hit him directly." Zhou Zhou Ming said with a serious face, "His flying knife is highly poisonous, and the giant tree that was hit towered into the sky, but after being poisoned by the flying knife, it was immediately broken off from the middle, and the branches and leaves rotted.
And the Supreme Daoist was poisoned by the flying knife, and even though he was dead, he was still unrecognizable by the poison, and his body was festering, which was miserable, which was one of the important reasons why I didn't get him back. ”
Listening to Zhou Ming's narration, everyone present immediately had a picture in their hearts, followed by a burst of gagging, and a few people with shallow throats even spit it out directly.
After listening to Zhou Ming's narration, cold sweat broke out on their faces, and they knew in their hearts that the poison that could still make people unrecognizable after death was so poisonous that it might be unparalleled in the world, and if they inadvertently touched the poison when they went to carry the corpse for a while, they might also die immediately.
And they don't know if the toxins will spread along the soil, or the plants, to the entire grove, if things really turn out like this, then they may really go back this time.
Han Pingzhi didn't expect it to be so dangerous just to carry a corpse.
Knowing this, he was reluctant to let his cronies complete this errand, after all, it takes a long time and effort to cultivate cronies.
Yang Shijun, who was sitting on the side, had a dead face on his face, and after hearing Zhou Ming's words at this moment, his face was a little lively, because he knew in his heart that the poison in the Supreme Daoist must be incurable, and these people who went to carry the corpse might be poisoned and die in the process of moving the corpse, and once the matter spread, no one might dare to go again.
The corpse can't be brought back, so naturally he can't lose the gamble with Zhou Ming, and maybe he can turn defeat into victory at that time.
Although he also knows that the possibility of such a situation is very small, it is better than nothing, at least it is a psychological comfort.
After hearing Zhou Ming's words, the few officials who were about to go on a mission were all frightened, and they cast pleading glances at Han Pingzhi, hoping that he could help them at a critical moment, even if they didn't replace them, at least help them think of a way to avoid poisoning.
Han Pingzhi naturally understood what they meant, so he immediately asked Zhou Ming: "Brother Zhou, since this is the case, you should think of a way, otherwise wouldn't my brothers go to death in vain?" ”
In fact, Zhou Ming had already thought of the solution, but no one asked for his own words, and it seemed too cheap to say it on his own initiative.
Seeing Han Pingzhi asking, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately said: "Actually, the method is very simple, when you go to move the corpse, you must pay attention, you can't directly contact the corpse, it's best to prepare tools in advance, wrap your hands well, except for the face, don't leave other parts outside, so as to avoid poisoning most effectively."
And you should not only be careful when carrying the corpse, but also when you walk through the woods, because the big tree that was hit by the knife fell in the woods, and the whole body of this tree may be poisonous, and if it comes into contact with it, it is very likely to be poisoned immediately. ”
"The little ones get it." After listening to Zhou Ming's words, several officials felt a little comforted in their hearts, although the road ahead was still full of hardships and dangers, but at least they had a way to deal with it, which was much safer than bumping into them like headless flies.
As soon as Zhou Ming's words were finished, Han Pingzhi immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare tools and protective clothing.
The messenger of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office was very efficient, and he quickly brought the prepared tools.
After Zhou Ming looked at them one by one, he nodded with satisfaction: "These tools are very good, you should not be in any danger if you take these things with you." ”
Only then did the officials breathe a sigh of relief, took these protective equipment, and immediately set off to carry the corpse of the Supreme Daoist.
After these people left, the atmosphere in the room fell into silence again, everyone had different thoughts in the process of waiting, some people were entangled and afraid, some people were anxious, and Zhou Ming was the one with the most relaxed mentality, because things had developed to this point, unless Han Pingzhi gave them an explanation in advance before the errand people left, and let them destroy the corpses, otherwise he would definitely win this gamble.
In the process of waiting, Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards made excuses to leave several times, but they were all stopped by Han Pingzhi, and Han Pingzhi was resolute every time he blocked them, not giving half of face to his former colleagues.
