One of these people, led by the others, hurriedly congratulated Han Pingzhi and Zhou Zhou as soon as possible: "Congratulations to Lord Han and Lord Zhou, the two of you have successfully completed this arrest operation, which is really gratifying."

If it weren't for the two of them who acted quickly to arrest these spies under such a predicament, our Great Chu State would definitely stage a bloody storm, and maybe the emperor would also suffer.

The two of them have made such immortal achievements, and they will soar in the future, just around the corner. ”

Although Zhou Zhou Ming has outstanding ability, extremely high martial arts cultivation, and can speak well, after all, he has not had much time to enter the officialdom, and he is not familiar with the ordinary entertainment in the officialdom, so he didn't react at the first time, just stood in place, looked at several fathers-in-law with a smile on his face, and his heart was full of happiness.

Han Pingzhi has been in the officialdom for many years, and he can be said to be handy with these entertainments, and before the words of the fair man were finished, he immediately gave up his hand, walked in front of several fathers-in-law, and said with a sincere smile:

"A few adults said this, I and Lord Zhou really dare not be. In fact, to be honest, in this arrest operation, I didn't do anything, but was in charge of some co-ordination work, and the real hero was Zhou Dacai.

When he and the people sent by the Chengnan Patrol Yamen went to Huamanlou to investigate, they found some unusual clues about the Oiran, so they followed the vine and found this major secret.

As a young man who had just entered the Yamen on an errand, after Lord Zhou got the news, he did not panic, but calmly commanded his colleagues to block Huamanlou, control all the people in the entire building, and then single-handedly came to me to deliver the letter.

It's not over after doing this, when Lord Zhou was on a mission to arrest, he also met the most powerful supreme Taoist among these spies, and the rest of the story doesn't need to be told to me, and several adults also know it. ”

In fact, even if Han Pingzhi didn't say so, those fathers-in-law were very clear about Zhou Ming's important role in this arrest, but the reason why Han Pingzhi said this actually had his own purpose.

On the one hand, his words will make those fathers-in-law more impressed by their contributions in this arrest operation, on the other hand, while highlighting Zhou Ming's credit, he is also subtly telling several fathers-in-law that Zhou Zhou Ming has such a high credit, and in this arrest operation, it can be said that he is the first hero, and the second hero in the action is none other than himself.

After those fathers-in-law understood this truth, when they returned to the palace to report the news to the emperor, as long as Han Pingzhi's name was mentioned more or less, his goal was achieved.

An official who works on an errand outside the palace, if there are no special circumstances, it is difficult to have the opportunity to contact the emperor, which leads to many magistrates, although the official position is extremely high, living a life of fine clothes and food, but they have never seen the emperor in his life.

I haven't seen the emperor, and even the emperor doesn't know who you are, so this situation directly leads to the emperor not trusting you at all, and those high-ranking officials who are in power and the opposition, without the emperor's trust, can't get to that position at all.

Therefore, Han Pingzhi knew very well in his heart that no matter how successful this arrest operation was, if he didn't take this opportunity to let the emperor know himself, as long as after a while, the popularity of this case would go down, and it would be more difficult to make the emperor think of himself again.

That's why he tried his best to let these fathers-in-law mention their names more in front of the emperor, in case the emperor remembered his name in his heart, and he would be promoted higher in the future, it would be just around the corner.

As a rookie in the officialdom, Zhou Ming naturally couldn't see through Han Pingzhi's careful thinking, he only thought that Han Pingzhi was righteous enough, and when he could ask for credit for himself openly, he was not greedy for credit at all, and gave all the credit to himself.

This made Zhou Ming admire Han Pingzhi's character very much in his heart, and at the same time, his good impression of him greatly increased.

In the face of Han Pingzhi's praise, Zhou Minggang wanted to speak modestly, but he didn't have a chance to speak at all.

Seeing that Han Pingzhi was so modest, those fathers-in-law immediately scrambled to speak and said: "Lord Han's words are wrong, and Lord Zhou's credit is naturally not small, but if this arrest operation can be successful, your credit should not be underestimated."

After the few of us return to the palace, we will definitely tell the truth in front of the emperor, and we will definitely not let Lord Han's merits be buried. ”

"Several adults praised it falsely," Han Pingzhi was silent on the surface, but his heart blossomed, the reason why he said that just now was to have this effect, "How can I Han Pingzhi be virtuous, how dare I bother a few adults to mention it in front of the emperor, I am really ashamed." ”

Zhou Mingcai, who was standing on the side at this time, was dumbfounded, thinking that Han Pingzhi's move to retreat was too high, just now he gave me all the credit in a high-sounding manner, and fell into a modest reputation, which left a good impression on several fathers-in-law, if they returned to the palace with this good impression, they would naturally say a few more good words for him in front of the emperor.

Once the emperor pays attention to Han Pingzhi, it will be easy to be promoted to become rich in the future, and even enter the core of power.

After Zhou Zhou Ming was surprised for a while, he immediately remembered this trick in his heart, because he knew very well in his heart that no matter how strong his ability was, no matter how high his martial arts cultivation was, if he didn't understand the skills of mixing in officialdom, then it would be difficult to move an inch in the future.

Zhou Ming learned from Han Pingzhi's appearance and also exchanged a few words with several fathers-in-law, but whether it was the skills of conversation or the grasp of tone, they were far from Han Pingzhi, and he didn't even learn his three-point skills.

Zhou Ming also realized his shortcomings in this regard, but he was not discouraged, let alone discouraged, after all, he was still young and lacked experience in officialdom, even if he had a good brain, he would definitely not be able to compare with Han Ping, who was half a hundred years old and had been in officialdom all his life.

After several fathers-in-law and Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi praised each other for a few words, they planned to return to the palace to resume their lives, so they said goodbye one after another:

"Lord Han, Lord Zhou, now that this case has been closed, we will not stay for long. The emperor is still waiting for us to go back to restore our lives, if we don't return for a long time, I am afraid that the saint will be displeased, and when the time comes, you and I will not be able to bear the sin. ”

Han Pingzhi and Zhou Ming didn't dare to slack off, and immediately planned to send a few fathers-in-law out respectfully.

At this time, Yang Shijun, who had been standing silently on the side, his face turned green, and the white-clothed guards were also so angry that they were in their throats, the reason was actually very simple, they also participated in this arrest and made great contributions.

But when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds and being in the limelight, the benefits are not at all their share, Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi are in the front, and they have exhausted the limelight, these people have not even mentioned their names in the praise of you and me.

If it was only against Yang Shijun, those white-clothed guards also felt that it was forgivable, after all, who made him not know whether he was alive or dead, and he wanted to make that damn bet with Zhou Ming, but they didn't make a mistake, why didn't they have any credit at all?

Although several white-clothed guards were resentful, their official positions were low, and on such an important occasion, they had no place to speak.

Several white-clothed guards all looked at Yang Shijun with resentful eyes, hoping that he could stand up and say a few words for his brothers at a critical moment, even if he couldn't take back the credit, at least let others know that they had also sweated and dripped blood for this arrest.

But to their disappointment, Yang Shijun turned a blind eye to their gaze and did not react at all.

In addition to being disappointed, several white-clothed guards regretted in their hearts, regretting that they should not follow Yang Shijun out to be embarrassed.

In fact, the reason why Yang Shijun didn't say a word was also bitter, after all, when he was in the house just now, under his pleading to kneel and beg for mercy, Han Pingzhi promised to save him, if he stood up for himself and his brothers at this time, it would undoubtedly destroy Han Pingzhi's good deeds, and he might be able to snatch the credit at that time, but his life may be gone.

The merit is certainly not worth mentioning compared to the life.

Yang Shijun also knew that he was very sorry for his brother for doing this, and under the guilt, he could only hang his head desperately and not look at the eyes of those subordinates.

paid such a humiliating price, Yang Shijun only hoped that Han Pingzhi could keep his promise and save his life, but until several fathers-in-law were about to leave, Han Pingzhi still didn't have any intention of saving himself, which made Yang Shijun nervous, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Han Pingzhi's gourd.

Yang Shijun stared at the back of Han Pingzhi's head angrily, wondering if this kid was lying to me? If he really wants to save me, it is the best time when these fathers-in-law are present, once they are gone, there is a lack of favorable witnesses, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, it will be difficult to save me.

Seeing that several fathers-in-law had already walked to the door of the yamen, they got into the sedan chair and left.

Yang Shijun couldn't wait any longer, because he knew very well in his heart that as long as these fathers-in-law left, in the yamen of the General Affairs Mansion, except for the few subordinates he brought, it would be all Han Pingzhi's people, and if Han Pingzhi wanted to regret it at that time, it would be easy for him to make up excuses, he just needed to stand on Zhou Ming's side and finish the entire gambling game seriously, and he would be a dead end.

Yang Shijun didn't want to take this risk, even if Han Pingzhi already had a plan to save himself, he had to take action and let him implement the plan in advance, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Just as several fathers-in-law and Zhou Ming waved goodbye to them and happily planned to leave, Yang Shijun suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "A few adults, stay here, now is not the time for you to leave." ”

Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi were all stunned, and the two of them looked back and saw that it was Yang Shijun, and their eyebrows were all wrinkled.

Zhou Ming thought to himself, this ghost who doesn't know how to die, it's time for him, what tricks do you want to play?

Han Pingzhi vomited blood even more angrily, in fact, he had already mentally planned a way to save Yang Shijun, but with a few fathers-in-law present, it was not easy for him to implement.
