Chapter 106: Don't Make a Mistake
The person who wanted to eat the chair was still fierce to Zhou Ming just now, and he wanted to put him to death, at this time, after listening to his words, the whole person was stunned and trembled, because he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, as long as Zhou Ming always insisted that he was here to work and was a law enforcer, then they, the dignitaries, would have nothing to do with him.
This also means that he is sure of this chair today.
He scanned the entire flower hall back and forth, and found that the smallest chair here had to weigh more than ten pounds, and even if he could bite it, he could eat it all, and he would have to die if he didn't choke to death.
Thinking of his noble family background, thinking of his usual life of fine clothes and food, this person who wants to eat a chair is even more greedy and afraid of death, and at the same time he also regrets it very much, because he has such a good life, he doesn't know how to cherish it, and he just came here to look for flowers and willows, and ask for his own hardships.
Seeing Zhou Zhou Ming turning the tide at the critical moment, those dignitaries and dignitaries who were scared were speechless, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang's waists stiffened, and the timid momentum on their bodies just now was swept away, replaced by small eyes that looked at everything, and an arrogant and domineering demeanor, thinking that those dignitaries and dignitaries almost killed everyone just now, they couldn't wait to rush up directly and beat them to death.
The two of them expected that the victory of Zhou Ming had been decided, so they were no longer afraid, and they stood up and scolded those dignitaries loudly, wanting to vent the evil breath in their hearts.
"You fools, our brother Zhou is kind-hearted, and I didn't plan to deal with you, but you don't know whether to live or die, and you have to compete with him, now it's okay, right? Our brother Zhou is angry, the consequences are very serious, you just wait to go back to prison for dinner! ”
"Eating in prison? Do you think they still have a chance? As long as our Zhou brothers report all their crimes, even if they are not sentenced to beheading, they will be exiled at the lightest.
When you get to the north, don't make any more trouble. ”
The two of them were very arrogant when they spoke, not only those dignitaries and nobles were going to die, but even Zhou Ming wanted to give them two slaps after watching it.
The other officials were actually very scared just now, afraid that the disaster caused by Zhou Ming would implicate them, but they were soft-spoken, even in the face of such a big danger, they didn't have the right to speak, so these people were silent, paying attention to the development of the situation, until they saw Zhou Ming's victory at this moment, they were all relieved.
In addition to admiring Zhou Ming's intelligence, these officials also took the opportunity to intimidate those dignitaries, firstly, they could show their loyalty in front of Zhou Ming, and in the future, they would be able to ask for a good errand in the yamen, and secondly, they were usually not less angry with these dignitaries, and today they finally had the opportunity to retaliate back, once such a rare opportunity was obtained, they would naturally not be merciful.
"It's all for me to stand up, whoever dares to be dishonest, the knife in my hand will not let him go."
"You don't have long eyes, even our Lord Zhou dares to offend, it's all death."
Several grumpy officials wanted to compete for favor in front of Zhou Ming, so they planned to do something to those dignitaries and dignitaries without Zhou Ming's orders, and vent their anger for Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, because although these dignitaries and dignitaries are hateful, it is indeed a violation of the laws of Great Chu to have fun in a place like Huamanlou, but he is just a small head hunter now, and he has no right to deal with these people.
Originally, he had already won this matter, and these dignitaries had no chance to fight back, but if those little officials really did something to those people, Zhou Ming would be passive, and once these dignitaries sued him for the crime of setting up a private court and trespassing his official position, he would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Lord Zhou, these people are so hateful, let us teach them a lesson for you."
The officials didn't understand why Zhou Zhou Ming stood up to stop them at this moment, so they spoke one after another.
Zhou Zhou Ming waved his hand, showing a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Brothers, don't make mistakes, you and I are officials of Dachu, and it is a matter of course to do things for the court and the people."
I investigated these people, not because they offended me, but because they violated the law of Dachu, and it is my job to arrest them, and it is not your or my purview to interrogate them and condemn them, it is the job of a higher-level yamen, and if we interfere, we will make a big mistake. ”
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang didn't quite understand Zhou Ming's approach, but after hearing him say this, they understood his good intentions like the officials, and at the same time, they were also afraid for a while, and almost the fruits of their victory were destroyed by those officials.
"Thank you Lord Zhou for reminding us, otherwise we will make a big mistake."
The officials instantly understood, and while thanking Zhou Ming, they returned to their original positions one after another, without Zhou Ming's order, they didn't dare to make any more mistakes.
The person who asked for a chair, as well as the other dignitaries, after being reprimanded by Zhou Ming, thought that the defeat was decided, and waited to be cleaned up by Zhou Ming.
But what they didn't expect, Zhou Zhou Ming hadn't spoken yet, those officials were all guilty of making trouble, if this matter was left in normal times, these dignitaries would not be tolerated, and they would immediately send people to bring these rebellious officials to justice and punish them for serious crimes.
But the current situation is different, they are eager to get out of Zhou Ming's hands, just lack of reason, if these ignorant officials really dare to do something to them, it will undoubtedly give them a desperate chance to survive, when the time comes, they only need to falsely accuse Zhou Ming of committing rebellion with them, it will be enough to kill Zhou Ming,
Once Zhou Ming's life is in danger, he naturally has no extra energy to deal with them, and it is only a matter of time before they get out of this crisis.
Just when they were dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, Zhou Zhou Ming calmed down the turmoil, and those officials not only did not act excessively, but returned to their original positions respectfully.
The only chance for the dignitaries to get out was also completely shattered, which made them completely disheartened, and they no longer had the heart to go against Zhou Ming.
They all hung their heads one by one, neither admitting defeat nor admitting guilt to Zhou Zhouming, and they all looked like dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water.
In fact, the reason why they did this was because they had no fear, although Zhou Zhou Ming had pinched their life, it could be because they came to spend a lot of fun and punish their crimes, but this kind of crime will not lose their lives, as long as they return home, through interpersonal relationships, spend some money, and take a bit, they can still pass the test.
Even if this level is more difficult, it is nothing to them, as long as they spend a little more money, there is nothing they can't do.
Zhou Zhou Ming knew that these dignitaries were shameless, so he was prepared, and he was not surprised to see their virtue, but looked at them with a playful face, and said with a smile: "Brothers, why don't you speak?"
Just now, one by one's blood was spurting, as if they were going to eat me, why are they all honest now? What about that self-confidence just now? ”
None of the dignitaries spoke, but lowered their heads one by one, especially the person who said he wanted to eat a chair, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Zhou Ming, he quietly hid in the crowd, and in the process of hiding, he kept covering his face with his sleeves.
His intentions had long been seen by Zhou Ming.
"Alas, this brother, where are you going? There seems to be a gamble between us just now, you don't want to cheat, do you? Zhou Ming said as he glanced at the official next to him.
The officials understood this, and immediately stood up, rushed into the crowd, and pulled out the man who had said he wanted to eat the chair.
"What are you doing? Take away your dirty hands, I am an official of the imperial court, and my family is full of nobles, if you dare to be unkind to me, be careful that you are exterminated by the Nine Clans. ”
Several officials were really frightened by him for the first time, and they looked at Zhou Ming blankly, waiting for his next order.
Zhou Ming pretended to be very scared, and pretended to be stern and said, "What are you looking at me for?" People are right, people are born rich and noble, and they are big officials in the court, you and I are small people, how dare you provoke others? ”
The officials were confused, they didn't know what Zhou Zhou Ming was trying to do, he was the one who ordered them to arrest people, and he was the one who said that they couldn't mess with others.
Seeing that Zhou Ming was jealous of his identity, the person who wanted to eat the chair was even more fearless, and even raised his chin and looked lively, as if he had forgotten the fiasco just now.
Zhou Ming waved his hand at the unknown officials to ask them to retreat temporarily, and then he slowly came to the person who was going to eat the chair, stared at his eyes, and said with a smile: "This lord, you have a noble status and a prominent official position, we really can't afford to provoke it, but just now you have lost the bet between you and me, can you fulfill your promise?" ”
After saying this, Zhou Zhou Ming looked at Deng Tong behind him: "Deng Inspection, please find a chair, remember, it must be smooth wood, otherwise when this adult eats, if he breaks his throat, it will hurt." ”
Hearing this, the audience was shocked, whether it was those dignitaries or Deng Tong, they all thought that eating a chair was just a joke, Zhou Ming would not take it to heart at all, let alone force the other party to really eat a chair.
But the tone of Zhou Ming's speech just now didn't seem like a joke at all.
Usually small officials like Deng Tong and them don't dare to provoke those dignitaries, but the situation in front of them is different, eating the chair was brought up by the person himself, not forced by them, even if that person died because of eating the chair, Zhou Ming can't be blamed, let alone these little people.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, I'll go find it." Deng Tong agreed, turned around and went out to find a chair.
