After Xia Dezhang got an affirmative answer, he turned around and went to take people as soon as possible, and not long after he went, he brought a middle-aged man in a fancy dress, short stature, and fat body to Zhou Mingming's side.

"Lord Zhou, I brought it to you, this is the boss of the Huamanlou." Xia Dezhang stretched out his hand and introduced to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, and did not look back, his eyes were still looking at the door of the flowery building, as if he was thinking about something important.

Seeing that Zhou Ming did not react, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Xia Dezhang turned his head and began to introduce Zhou Zhou Ming to the boss of Huamanlou: "This is our Lord Zhou, why are you so blind, why don't you kneel down and salute quickly." ”

The boss of Huamanlou didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The villain is the boss of Huamanlou, I don't know that Lord Zhou is here, negligent service, the villain should be damned, please forgive me." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming only turned his head at this time and carefully looked at the boss who was full of flowers.

This person was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a white complexion, a beard, deep-set eye sockets, and a black Yintang.

"You're the boss, aren't you? Those who don't know are not guilty, so why bother to do this great gift, please get up quickly. Although there was no expression on Zhou Ming's face, he maintained a minimum of politeness in his tone.

The boss of Huamanlou didn't know if Zhou Zhou Ming was telling the truth or testing himself, so he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only look at Xia Dezhang with his eyes, hoping to get a little hint from him.

Xia Dezhang has been on an errand for many years in the south of the city to inspect the yamen, and has rich experience in doing things for others, just now before bringing the boss of Huamanlou here, he received a few hundred taels of silver, and now he saw that the boss of Huamanlou asked for help from himself, he immediately said:

"Lord Zhou has spoken, get up quickly!"

The boss of Huabanlou had a bottom in his heart, he slowly stood up, and made a gesture to Zhou Ming respectfully, and then looked embarrassed, as if he had a lot of things to say to Zhou Ming in his heart, but he was ashamed to speak.

Zhou Ming waited a little impatiently, after all, he had a lot of important things to do, if he delayed too long in Huamanlou and missed the business, it would not only affect his own future, but also affect the progress of the investigation of this Northern State spy case.

He looked at Xia Dezhang with a somewhat cold gaze, meaning to ask him, didn't you say that this boss has something to tell me? Why did he stand here and not speak? Are you trying to make fun of me?

After Xia Dezhang understood Zhou Zhouming's meaning, he was very frightened, he complained to himself vigorously, he shouldn't have been so greedy for money just now, and he thought it was a beautiful thing to bring this boss here, but who knew that this boss was a coward, and after seeing Zhou Zhouming, he didn't even dare to say a word.

Xia Dezhang was afraid that if this situation continued to drag on, Zhou Zhou Ming would be angry, so that he would be affected by the time, so he immediately reprimanded the boss loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Didn't you tell me just now that you had something to ask Master Zhou? Why can't you speak after meeting him himself? Aren't you hurting me? ”

The boss of Hua Manlou was frightened in a few words, and at the same time made him understand the seriousness of the matter, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately said to Zhou Ming in a low voice: "Lord Zhou, I don't know what kind of case you brought people to us, and I don't dare to inquire, but I have one thing I want to ask you."

I have been opening this Huamanlou in the capital for more than ten years, during which I have been law-abiding, and have never done anything harmful, if you don't believe it, you can ask the guests here. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Ming already understood what the boss of Huamanlou wanted to say, but he didn't say anything, but said in a soothing tone: "This boss, just because you can do business here for more than ten years, I will believe your words."

You don't have to be afraid, we are not here today to handle the case, not for you, if you have anything to say, you can boldly tell me. ”

Xia Dezhang, who had been worried about it beside him, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Zhou Ming say this.

After the boss of Hua Manlou said what he said just now, he was always worried in his heart, because he didn't know what Zhou Ming's attitude towards him was, in case he suddenly turned his face, the boss of Hua Manlou really didn't know what to do.

"Lord Zhou, I can't hide it, I brought me to see you with Lord Tuxia, I really want to ask you for something, but I don't know how to speak." The boss of Hua Manlou said with an embarrassed face.

Zhou Ming showed a smile and said, "You said it, maybe I can help, if you don't say it, there will be no chance."

I'm in a hurry to do something very important right now, and I don't have time to delay here, you know what I mean? ”

The boss of Huamanlou heard Zhou Ming's words in a soft and rigid manner, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while, so he could only turn his head and look at Xia Dezhang, hoping to get a little more help from him.

Xia Dezhang, who was standing on the side, was already sweating at this time, on the one hand, he was worried that Zhou Ming would blame him for this incident, and on the other hand, he was worried that the boss of Hua Manlou would not be able to speak, and he would collide with Zhou Ming in language, so during the whole process of the boss of Hua Manlou and Zhou Ming speaking, he was always worried about it, for fear that something would happen.

Seeing that the boss of Huamanlou looked at himself with his eyes again, Xia Dezhang was angry, thinking that I just accepted a few hundred taels of silver from you, and you regarded me as your father? Ask me everything, it's trying to pull me into the water.

But being angry is angry, since he has already received the benefit fee from others, Xia Dezhang can't see death without help, so he can only urge angrily: "Say it quickly, Lord Zhou doesn't have so much time to talk to you." ”

"Oh, yes." The boss of Huamanlou said sluggishly, then paused slightly, looked at Zhou Ming, and continued, "Lord Zhou, our business in Huamanlou has always been very good, and the guests who come are also very miscellaneous, and my men are not manpowered, so it is impossible to carefully check at all.

If any of these guests has committed any major case that really has nothing to do with us, please be sure to explain it clearly to us when we try this case, so as not to suffer unjustly wronged! ”

After saying this, the boss of Huamanlou knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.

"Wronged?" Zhou Zhou Ming repeated what the boss of Huamanlou said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" ”

The boss of Hua Manlou has been in the business for many years, and has dealt with many officials in the officialdom, and he himself has a very deep background, so he is very experienced in asking people to do things.

He thought that after saying that, Zhou Zhou Ming would follow common sense, push the boat down the river, and promise to help him, and then he would take out some of the money and give it to Zhou Ming, even if it was hard work.

As long as Zhou Ming collects the money, the matter will be successfully resolved.

In fact, the reason why the boss of Huamanlou wants to buy Zhou Yiming is just to buy an insurance, because he can operate Huamanlou in a prosperous place, which in itself proves that the boss of Huamanlou is not an ordinary person, and he has a background behind him, no matter what happens in Huamanlou, he has the confidence to be able to settle down.

However, the boss of Huamanlou also knows a truth, the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, and many bad things are bad for the little character, in order to prevent extraneous branches, he gave Zhou Ming a sum of money, just so that he would not find trouble for himself when handling the case.

Although Zhou Ming was already famous all over the world because of the relationship between solving the woman's disappearance case, the boss of Huamanlou did not take him seriously at all, and always thought that he was just an insignificant small role, as long as the limelight passed, he was still an unknown little catcher, and it would never be difficult to turn over.

And the groveling and flattering face he showed to Zhou Ming just now was actually pretending, just to get things done.

Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't play his cards according to the routine, the boss of Huamanlou was a little overwhelmed, and he looked at Xia Dezhang blankly.

Xia Dezhang hurriedly avoided the eyes of the boss of Hua Manlou, thinking that these hundreds of silver cars are really not easy to earn, listening to Zhou Ming's words just now, it is clear that he suspects that this boss is involved in this spy case, if he still helps this boss at this time, once this boss is convicted in the future, he will not be able to wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

Seeing that Xia Dezhang ignored his love, the boss of Huamanlou was angry, and the expression on his face changed unconsciously, and he said to Zhou Ming in a stiff tone: "Lord Zhou, I don't understand what you say!" ”

As soon as Xia Dezhang heard this beside him, he was angry, and immediately scolded loudly: "How can you kid talk to Lord Zhou? I brought you here to see that you are pitiful, and to give you a chance to wash away your grievances in front of Lord Zhou, Lao Tzu didn't let you be angry with Lord Zhou! ”

Zhou Zhou Ming smiled, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Xia Dezhang's roar, and then looked at the boss of Huamanlou condescendingly, and said, "Then I will let you understand."

Let me ask you, Oiran girl, but you bought it? ”

The boss of Huamanlou rolled his eyes, carefully analyzed what the purpose of Zhou Ming's question, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't guess why Zhou Ming asked, and finally could only answer honestly: "I bought it." ”

"That's it, no matter whether you have anything to do with this case or not, as long as you bought him, you will not be able to escape responsibility!" Zhou Ming said coldly.

"Lord Zhou, what do you mean by that?" The more the boss of Hua Manlou listened, the more confused he became, and he asked with wide eyes.

Xia Dezhang was annoyed by the attitude of the boss of Hua Manlou, he didn't care about Zhou Ming beside him, stretched out his hand to Hua Mianlang who was lying on the door panel, and said angrily to the boss of Hua Manlou: "You still have the face to ask, do you see?" This is the Oiran girl you bought, he is a spy in the northern country, you bought a spy back, and raised him in Huamanlou for more than ten years, just this crime can sentence you to a decisive sentence. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming glared at Xia Dezhang, blaming him for stealing his lines and putting himself in the limelight.
