Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Heroes of the World
Those white-clothed guards originally expected that Yang Shijun would definitely die, but what they didn't expect was that Han Pingzhi just squatted on the ground and said a few words to him, and Zhou Ming actually let him go, which made several of them puzzled, until they followed Yang Shijun away, they still didn't understand what was going on in between.
Of course, the officials in the yamen of the General Affairs Office didn't know the reason for this, but they all felt a burst of happiness in their hearts, after all, these big people had solved the problem, and there would be no cruel big scenes, which already made them satisfied.
Looking at the completely defeated Yang Shijun, after helping himself to make a great achievement, he still left with his subordinates disgraced, and he still owed a lot of debts, as the victor, Han Pingzhi also had a sympathy in his heart, but it was more joy and schadenfreude, after all, this kid was too inhuman, he had fought against himself several times, and he was also to blame for this fate.
Looking at Yang Shijun's back, Han Pingzhi deliberately said loudly: "Lord Yang, rest well after you go back, as for the merits of you and your brothers in this case, I will definitely explain it to the court in the recital, and please say hello to Yan Gong for me." ”
Han Pingzhi did this for outsiders to see, firstly, if the superficial efforts were done, it would not be true, and secondly, after doing so, outsiders would be even more unable to see through what was happening between them.
Hearing these words, although Yang Shijun didn't turn his head, he still raised his arm and said loudly as he walked: "Thank you Lord Han for cultivating." ”
After this incident, Yang Shijun was a complete failure, even if he had bitterness in his heart, he also had bitter words, knocked out his teeth, and could only swallow it in his stomach, after all, although he targeted Zhou Ming so much just now, he wanted to sweep away the disaster for Yan Qiu, but his methods were too stupid, the goal was not achieved, and he almost put his life on the line.
After he returned, not only would he pay on time, but he would not be able to tell his bitterness in front of Yan Sug, because that would completely expose his stupidity, and more importantly, he would stabilize the white-clothed guards and let them keep his secrets, if they did not cooperate, he could only choose to kill people as a last resort.
Seeing Yang Shijun and them leave, Han Pingzhi held a piece of paper in his hand, walked up to Zhou Ming with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, do not disgrace your mission, I will get things done for you, this is an IOU, you put it away, right?"
If you take it home and find that you are short of two pounds, I won't admit it. ”
To be honest, Zhou Ming felt a little embarrassed to get 200,000 taels of silver from others so easily, but it's already like this, everyone has let it go, and the money that should be taken can't be thrown away.
"Brother Yang, what are you talking about, am I not at ease with your work?"
As he spoke, he took the IOU from Han Pingzhi's hand and glanced at it lightly, the number was not bad at all, a full 200,000 taels of silver.
Putting the IOU in his sleeve, Zhou Zhou Ming had an unprecedented sense of steadiness, because he knew very well in his heart that as long as this IOU was in hand, no matter how hostile Yang Shijun was to himself, he would not dare to repay the debt, because once he repaid the debt, Zhou Zhou Ming did not need to take this IOU to him to ask for it, as long as he reported to the Yamen of Dali Temple, Yan Qiu would come forward to repay the debt, and then Yang Shijun would be better off than dead, because he would lose Yan Qiu's face if he did so.
"Lord Han, everyone has been arrested, do you have any errands that I need to do? If not, I'm going back to Huamanlou to have a look, my brothers are still there watching the flower-faced wolves, and the night has passed, and I'm really a little worried about them. ”
After putting the IOU in hand, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately led the topic to business.
"The biggest problem is the Supreme Daoist, he has been solved by you, and the rest of the matter will be left to me. Now you just need to go to Huamanlou and bring the flower-faced wolf and the people involved in this matter, etc., and your errand for today is over. Han Pingzhi knew that Zhou Ming was in a hurry to go to Huamanlou to see his brother, so he said with a smile.
"Okay, then Lord Han, I'll go now, farewell."
Zhou Ming clenched his fists and said.
Han Pingzhi saw that Zhou Ming was injured and was afraid that he would encounter an accident on the road, so he proposed to send some helpers to follow him, but Zhou Ming refused.
"Lord Han, don't worry, these injuries I suffered are all trivial, there is no big problem, if you really meet some masters on the road and can pose a threat to me, even if you send more people to follow me, it will be useless, you can only give your life in vain."
Han Pingzhi felt that it made sense, so he could only smile and nod and send Zhou Ming out.
After leaving the Yamen of the General Mansion, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately quickened his pace and walked towards Hua Manlou, after all, when he was on a mission last night, he was worried about the safety of those brothers in Hua Manlou, and now that the whole night has passed, whether they are alive or dead at the moment is still unknown.
In a blink of an eye, I came to the street in front of Huamanlou, although the street was already bustling at the moment, but the door of Huamanlou was crowded, but this is also in line with the convention, such a place as Huamanlou, generally business is good at night, business is bleak during the day, and there is almost no business in the morning.
The door of Hua Manlou was closed, and in order not to attract the attention of people on the street, Zhou Ming lowered his head and slowly walked to the door of Hua Manlou, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
Originally, there was silence behind the door, but after the knock on the door, a rush of sound came out, followed by silence, and then the door was suddenly opened, Xia Dezhang ran out with two officials, and was surprised and happy to see Zhou Ming.
"Zhou Zhutou, you are back, we are almost desperate to wait."
"You didn't come back all night, it scared us to death, and we thought something had happened to you."
Zhou Ming made a gesture to shut up: "This is not the place to talk, come in with me." ”
Zhou Ming led everyone into the Huamanlou and found that there was no one inside.
Xia Dezhang led people to follow closely, closed the gate, and then followed Zhou Ming all the way.
"Why can't anyone see it?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.
Xia Dezhang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "Zhou Zhutou, you forgot, when you leave, let us control everyone and not allow anyone to leave."
We have taken care of all the people here, as you have commanded. ”
Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the flower hall.
Along the way, Xia Dezhang asked him if the arrest operation went smoothly.
Zhou Ming didn't say a word, and it wasn't until he came to the flower hall and saw Deng Tong personally sitting in town, guarding the dignitaries and dignitaries here, that his heart felt a little relaxed.
"Brother Zhou, you're finally back!" Deng Tong stood up and walked in front of Zhou Ming in a few steps, almost crying.
Since Zhou Ming left last night, he and his brothers have been terrified all night, they are all afraid that Zhou Ming will be more than lucky, because Han Pingzhi was a strict person before, at this critical moment, he has many reasons not to help Zhou Ming, even if he has the heart to catch those spies, he has every reason to put aside Zhou Ming, complete this task alone, and take the credit alone.
And even if he understands the righteousness and decides to help, but those spies in the north are all extremely high in martial arts cultivation, and it is not easy to catch them, in case in the process of arrest, the news leaks, or there are spies who escape, once these escaped people learn that Hua Mian Lang is trapped in Hua Manlou, they may come to save people.
Once this kind of thing happens, Deng Tong and these shrimp soldiers and crab generals will definitely die, because among them, the most capable one is Zhou Ming, he has already left, and there is only one way to die for them to face those martial arts masters.
Frightened all night, Deng Tong and the others didn't know how they survived, and they were easy to look forward to until dawn, but they never saw Zhou Ming come back, which made them all have an ominous premonition in their hearts, feeling that Zhou Zhou Ming might never come back.
In the middle, Deng Tong wanted to leave his post several times, and took people back to the south of the city to inspect the yamen first, and then thought about it in the long run, and found a way to deal with the situation in front of him.
Now that they saw Zhou Ming coming back, everyone finally had a backbone, and they were all relieved.
"Brother Zhou, how is the arrest mission going? Did you let go of the spies? On behalf of everyone, Deng Tong asked the questions they were most concerned about.
Zhou Zhou Ming looked around and found that there were a few missing of these brothers, so he hurriedly asked, "Why are there a few brothers missing?" What about them? ”
Xia Dezhang hurriedly replied: "Zhou Zhutou, according to your orders, I sent them to guard the various entrances, you don't have to worry, they are not in danger." ”
Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then asked people to take those frightened dignitaries to another room to take care of them.
Seeing that Zhou Ming was still thinking about the safety of the brothers at such a critical moment, everyone was indescribably moved in their hearts, and at the same time, they were all more determined to follow Zhou Ming in their hearts.
Zhou Zhou Ming first calmed everyone's emotions, then praised a few words, and finally told him about his experience this night, of course, he hid the matter of Miss Pang, when it came to his battle against the Supreme Daoist, he was almost hit by a dart, Xia Dezhang and the officials were all frightened, and finally they were afraid, because they understood that if Zhou Zhou Ming was hit by a flying knife, not only would he lose his life, but even they would be in danger.
After Zhou Zhou Ming finished talking about the process of defeating the Supreme Daoist, everyone present was full of excitement, and Xia Dezhang couldn't help but praise loudly: "Zhou Zhutou, you are brave and strategic, and you are really a hero in the world." ”
Thinking of Zhou Ming's heroism, and thinking of the cowardly and incompetent appearance shown by Deng Tong before, everyone was disgusted, and Xia Dezhang directly sneered: "Zhou Zhutou, fortunately you came back in time, otherwise some people would have dismantled your platform a long time ago, if it weren't for me and my brothers trying our best to maintain it, maybe you wouldn't have seen us when you came back." ”
