Chapter Ninety-Seven: It's Too Cheap for Him
However, Zhou Ming didn't express his thoughts, because in the short time after getting to know Han Pingzhi, he learned a lot from Han Pingzhi, and now they may be friends and partners, but maybe they will become enemies in the future, after all, Han Pingzhi made his fortune by Yan Qiu, and it is not surprising to return to Yan Qiu's sphere of influence.
And if you want to be invincible in front of the enemy, you need to hide your strength, don't let the enemy know how strong you are, and use such means to make the enemy paralyze you, so that in the real life-and-death duel, you can be surprised and kill the opponent by surprise.
"Lord Han, I don't understand what you said, please teach me." Zhou Ming pretended to be stunned and said with confidence.
Han Pingzhi was a little puzzled in his heart, with his understanding of Zhou Yiming, it was impossible for Zhou Yiming to be so dull, but he didn't think much about it, and immediately said the concerns in his heart:
"Brother Zhou, think about it, you have already had a misunderstanding with Yan Gong because of the killing of Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying, but because Yan Gong was aware of everything and didn't take this misunderstanding to heart, so the two of you are at peace with each other, not only that, it is rumored that Yan Gong also admires you very much Brother Zhou and praised you in front of many people."
"Oh, really?" Zhou Ming responded casually.
"Absolutely." Han Pingzhi said without hesitation, "But Brother Zhou, if you kill Yang Shijun on the spot at the yamen of my General Affairs Mansion, the nature of everything will change."
How stupid Yang Shijun was before, you and I both know in our hearts, even if he dies, he deserves it, the crux of the matter is that he is Yan Gong's person, and he has not committed any crimes, but has made a great contribution to our arrest operation, if you just want his life because of a gamble, it is equivalent to directly declaring war on Yan Gong. ”
"Hiss......" Zhou Zhou Ming gasped and pretended to be very surprised.
"Yan Gong is an old man, he usually treats people in an approachable manner, and is very generous, but he hates others the most for not giving him face, think about it, if you kill Yang Shijun, the consequences will be unimaginable." Han Pingzhi continued.
Zhou Ming thought about it carefully, and then stared at Han Pingzhi with his eyes, and his eyes became meaningful.
Han Pingzhi also knew in his heart that a smart person like Zhou Zhou Ming would definitely not be easily persuaded, and he looked at himself with such eyes, he must have thought that he was saying this out of his own interests and wanted to save Yang Shijun.
"Brother Zhou, I am telling you these words, don't be careful, I don't have any selfish intentions mixed in it, it is completely for your future." Han Ping said frankly.
But in fact, Han Pingzhi lied, the reason why he wanted to save Yang Shijun was not because he had any friendship with him, but because if Yang Shijun really died in the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, he would not only hate Zhou Ming afterwards, but also record this account on Han Pingzhi, after all, he and Yang Shijun were both born in the White Guard Organization, and watching Yang Shijun die unexpectedly without saving him, this is unjustifiable in any case.
"I know, how could I doubt you, Lord Han?" Zhou Ming's reaction was also very fast, he knew in his heart that since Han Pingzhi had already spoken, no matter whether his words were true or not, Zhou Ming would give him a face.
"But this bastard surnamed Yang just now targeted me so much, if I didn't teach him a lesson, it would be too cheap to let him go so easily."
Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Han Pingzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because before he opened his mouth to persuade Zhou Ming, he had always been afraid that Zhou Ming would think that he and Yang Shijun were accomplices, if things turned out like that, when the time came, Zhou Ming would not only not let Yang Shijun go, but would also treat himself as an enemy.
"Naturally, I have my own way to make this kid more uncomfortable than death." Han Pingzhi said confidently.
"Please also ask Lord Han to teach me." Zhou Ming said with a wicked smile.
Han Pingzhi also said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Brother Zhou, you have just been on an errand for a short time, and you don't have much money, so you should be very tight on hand, right?" ”
Zhou Zhou Ming was suddenly said to be in his heart, during the time he was on an errand, before it was time to make a fortune, the money had already been spent by him, although he had been rewarded with a large sum of silver by the court for killing Yan Shikuan and Feng Quartz, but he didn't take a penny, all of them were given to the families of those dead brothers, so that now he doesn't even have the money to buy birthday gifts for his mother.
"Lord Han, let's be honest, my brother is really short of money now, seeing that my mother's birthday is approaching, I don't even have the money to buy her a birthday gift." Zhou Ming sighed and told the truth in his heart.
Han Pingzhi's eyes rolled, and he felt that something was wrong: "Brother Zhou, isn't it?" You solved the case of the woman's disappearance before, and the court should have a lot of rewards, why are you so short of money? ”
"Hey, don't mention it." Zhou Ming let out a long sigh and told all the things about giving all the rewards to the families of those sacrificed brothers, of course, it did not include his blackmail of Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang.
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Han Pingzhi was greatly shocked, he didn't expect Zhou Zhou Ming to be so affectionate and righteous.
"Brother Zhou, you are really a person who values love and righteousness, I have a rising star like you in Dachu, this is the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people.
In order to thank you for those sacrificed brothers, I will make you a windfall today. ”
Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, thinking that this is exactly what I need, although I killed Yang Shijun, I can take a bad breath, but it can't solve the urgent need at the moment, seeing that the lady's birthday is approaching day by day, in case you can't come up with the money to buy a birthday gift, invite the troupe to sing, and can't make the lady's birthday beautiful, first, I'm sorry for the lady, and second, it will make outsiders see jokes.
If you let Yang Shijun go, you can get a windfall, why don't you do it? After all, doing so is beneficial to himself and harmless, because in this way, he can not only get a huge amount of money, but also make Han Pingzhi owe him a favor, and more importantly, he doesn't have to immediately tear his face with the old thief who asks for it, he can continue to develop obscenely, accumulate energy, and slowly climb to a high position.
Han Pingzhi attached himself to Zhou Ming's ear, and whispered his plan to him like this.
After listening to the plan, Zhou Zhou Ming smiled and stretched out his thumb to praise: "Lord Han, tall, really tall." ”
"Brother Zhou praised it falsely."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to the back hall of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office together.
Yang Shijun still knelt on the ground honestly, and during the time that Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi left, he didn't dare to move half a step.
Zhou Ming stretched his face, slowly walked to the middle of the courtyard, and finally said to the people in the courtyard: "Please be a witness for me, the reason why I killed the killer today is not because of personal grievances, let alone regard the laws of the country as child's play, but that there is a gambling agreement between me and Lord Yang, and I am willing to gamble and lose, no wonder anyone." ”
Although Yang Shijun has already conceded defeat, he has always hoped that Han Pingzhi can save him, during the time that Zhou Ming and the two of them left, Yang Shijun always thought that Han Pingzhi was trying to save himself, until Zhou Zhou Ming said those words, he finally gave up and felt that he was dead.
"If the court blames me in the future and punishes me because of this life lawsuit, please be a witness for me." Zhou Ming continued.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, you are gambling on your life, my Great Chu Court will not pursue it, even if there is any accident in the future, I will personally help you deal with it, and there will be no trouble." Han Pingzhi said very cooperatively.
"Thank you, Lord Han." Zhou Ming's acting skills exploded instantly, and he saluted Han Pingzhi.
Yang Shijun, who was already dying, saw this situation, and was angry in his heart, thinking Han Pingzhi, are you still a person? We were born together in the White Guard organization, if you don't help me, forget it, and go to the well, planning to help the murderer clear the charges, Lao Tzu will not let you go.
At this time, several fathers-in-law in the palace had already left, and in addition to a few white-clothed guards, those present were the officials of the yamen of the general government.
These officials didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, it was just a gamble, and it was hard to believe that they really had to pay the price of their lives.
A few kind-hearted little servants even wanted to come forward to persuade Zhou Ming, but as soon as they thought of their low status, they immediately dispelled this idea, after all, a big man like Han Pingzhi just now couldn't persuade this surnamed Zhou, and who could listen to their words.
Zhou Zhou Ming walked towards Yang Shijun step by step in the unbelievable eyes of everyone, and when he stood in front of him, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately pulled out the seven-star knife in his hand, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and then raised it high.
At this time, Yang Shijun was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, the whole person was like a puddle of mud, and he had even peed his pants, he had heard that those condemned prisoners who were executed would shout some bold words at the last moment, and he also wanted to follow their example, and at the moment of death, say some inspiring words, at least this can prove that he is not a coward.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound in his throat, as if death had not yet come, and his throat had been tightly choked by death.
Zhou Ming raised the seven-star knife in his hand high above his head, and seeing that the blade was about to fall, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait a minute."
The person who spoke was none other than Han Pingzhi.
"Lord Han, what's the matter?" Zhou Ming pretended to be impatient, holding up the knife and asked.
Han Pingzhi walked over in a few steps, pulled Zhou Ming to the side, and then under the gaze of everyone, the two of them pretended to talk to each other.
Yang Shijun was about to lose consciousness, but when he saw Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly being pulled away, he was very angry, he really didn't want to experience the feeling of dying anymore.
After a while, Han Pingzhi seemed to have discussed something important with Zhou Ming, he left Zhou Ming, came to Yang Shijun, squatted down, and said, "Lord Yang, after my repeated efforts, your life has finally been saved temporarily. ”
