In fact, after rejecting Han Pingzhi's kindness, Zhou Zhou Ming was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, people were out of good intentions, and he rejected others in front of so many people, and those who understood themselves said that they were selfless, and those who did not understand themselves would definitely say that they were not close to people and had no dignity.

Seeing that Han Pingzhi was a little puzzled for a while, not only did he not get mad at himself after he spoke, but praised himself vigorously, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he wanted to deal with official business with Han Pingzhi immediately, but before he could speak, Han Pingzhi spoke first.

"Brother Zhou, I agree with all the words you just said, and I will keep those words in mind, and when I investigate other cases in the future, I will also take out these words and always spur myself."

Hearing this, Zhou Ming felt nervous for a while, because he didn't know whether Han Pingzhi was saying what he was talking about, or if he was using these words to satirize himself.

He clenched his fists and said calmly: "Lord Han, don't say that, otherwise it will torment me!" ”

"Eh......" Han Pingzhi suddenly looked serious, he pushed Zhou Ming's hand to the side, and said, "Brother Zhou, what I said is from my heart, I have been an official for many years, large and small officials, I have seen countless people who are dedicated to the country and the people, you are the first one I have seen." ”

Zhou Ming saw that Han Pingzhi was sincere when he spoke, and the tension in his heart disappeared all of a sudden, and he knew that this kind of emotion could not be pretended.

The poor people present heard Han Pingzhi praise Zhou Ming so much, everyone scoffed, and felt that Han Pingzhi's praise was too much, the reason why the surname Zhou refused the banquet just now was just pretending to be garlic, his real purpose was to pretend to be honest in front of everyone, because once this reputation of honesty reached the ears of the emperor, it would definitely be of great help to his promotion and fortune in the future.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong stood on both sides of the escort team, dutifully guarding the prisoners, the two of them no longer had any hope of having a big meal, they only hoped that the handover work could be completed as soon as possible, so that they could return to the yamen for a meal as soon as possible.

After Han Pingzhi finished praising Zhou Ming, his words suddenly changed: "Brother Zhou, a young man like you, with both ability and political integrity, will definitely have a bright future in the future."

But no matter how big an official you are in the future, today's banquet of someone Han, you must appreciate your face, you can't refuse, otherwise don't blame me Han someone for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”

Zhou Ming thought that Han Pingzhi would continue to praise himself, but what he never expected was that this old boy didn't play cards according to the routine, beat around the bush, and still insisted on inviting himself to dinner, isn't this a delay?

A group of poor people who already had no hope of eating a big meal, after hearing Han Pingzhi's words, they all became alive again, they all hoped that Han Pingzhi would not lose to Zhou Ming in terms of momentum, and a few bold servants even looked at Zhou Ming with pitiful eyes, hoping to force him to obey in this way.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong know Zhou Ming's temper best, and the two of them are afraid that he will continue to reject Han Pingzhi and not give people a face, in that case, it will not only hurt the harmony, but also cast a shadow on the handling of this spy case, after all, all the criminals in this case were jointly arrested by Han Pingzhi and Zhou Ming, if the two of them do not agree, it will be very troublesome for the case to be tried in the future.

Without waiting for Zhou Ming to speak, the two of them hurriedly walked to his side, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him aside.

Deng Tong first opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother Zhou, everyone Han has already said that, you don't refuse again, if you refuse someone once, it will be enough to hurt people's face, if you don't give face to others this time, how will you cooperate with others in the future?"

Besides, it's just a meal, it will definitely not affect the investigation of this case, if you really don't worry, Lao Xia and I won't go to dinner, the two of us will keep an eye on these prisoners, and the two of us dare to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, if there is an accident, you will kill or chop, the two of us have nothing to say. ”

Before Deng Tong's words were finished, Xia Dezhang stared at him and became anxious, because when Deng Tong spoke just now, he pulled him into the water without his consent, and finally gave away his life.

But at this time, in front of Zhou Ming, Xia Dezhang couldn't have a seizure, so he could only swallow his anger and follow Deng Tong to persuade Zhou Ming: "What Inspector Deng said makes sense, Brother Zhou, no matter what you think, we who are in the inspection yamen in the south of the city must not offend Lord Han, because he is our top boss."

If we have a bad relationship with him, no matter how hard we work in the yamen in the future, it will be difficult for us to get ahead. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming thought that the two of them had something important to tell him, but it turned out that he was persuading himself to eat this meal, and while he was disappointed, he shook off the hands of the two people impatiently and said:

"The two of you also have this vision, you two think about it carefully, these people are guilty of our hands, like a hot potato, if you don't send it out early, once it rots in our hands, can you two bear this responsibility?

Isn't it just a meal? Do you think I don't want to? In case something goes wrong, as long as you two are responsible, I'll have the meal. ”

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong thought about Zhou Zhou Ming's train of thought, and immediately stopped talking, because what Zhou Zhou Ming said was very reasonable, once something happened to the prisoner, the two of them really couldn't bear this responsibility.

"If you don't have that, don't learn to be in the limelight." Monday Ming put down the sentence and turned to walk away.

As a master of insight into human nature, Han Pingzhi had already guessed that the two of them must have gone to persuade Zhou Ming when Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong pulled Zhou Ming away, but when Zhou Zhou Ming came back, from the analysis of the expression on his face, Han Pingzhi expected that the two wastes did not succeed in persuasion.

Zhou Minggang wanted to tell Han Pingzhi his great truth to dispel his idea of having a banquet for himself, but before he could speak, Han Pingzhi held his shoulders, took him aside, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Zhou, those who know the times are Junjie, you should have heard this sentence."

Zhou Ming frowned, not understanding why Han Pingzhi pulled him aside, and he didn't understand what he meant by this: "Lord Han, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." ”

"Okay, since Brother Zhou is so frank, then I won't sell it to you." Han Pingzhi tidied up his clothes, and then pretended to have something important to discuss with Zhou Ming, and said in a low voice: "Just now in front of everyone, I tried to wake you up several times, but you turned a blind eye to it, but instead misunderstood me, so I can only pull you here, and our brothers will say something from their hearts." ”

Seeing Han Pingyi's unusually serious appearance, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, he recalled the conversation between him and Han Pingzhi in front of everyone before, and after analyzing it carefully, he didn't find anything wrong.

However, Zhou Ming also knew in his heart that a smart person like Han Pingzhi would not be untargeted.

"Lord Han, you and I have experienced last night's major events together, which can be described as friends of life and death, if you don't give up, my brother will call you big brother directly!" Zhou Ming clenched his fists and said.

Han Pingzhi was overjoyed, he was racking his brains to get closer to Zhou Ming, the reason why he proposed to set up a banquet to entertain Zhou Ming just now was also because of this intention, but the meal was not finished, but the relationship between the two people naturally became closer, which was really unexpected for Han Pingzhi.

"Oh, Brother Zhou, you call me big brother, how dare I be?" Even though he said this, the smile on Han Pingzhi's face had already betrayed the thoughts in his heart.

"Brother Han doesn't have to be too humble, we will be our own family in the future, if my brother does anything wrong, my brother must teach me." Zhou Ming said sincerely.

In fact, when he said this, Zhou Zhou Ming came from the heart, because although he has his own ability, and he will be invincible in the world in the future, but when it comes to the experience of mixing in officialdom, he is still very lacking, which cannot be compared with Han Pingzhi at all.

If you call the big brother, you can learn Han Pingzhi's exquisite skills in the officialdom, Zhou Zhou Ming feels that this big brother is not a loss at all, and even makes a steady profit.

Seeing that Zhou Zhouming's attitude was so sincere, Han Pingzhi was greatly touched, and he immediately said without reservation: "Don't worry, brother, as long as my surname Han knows, I will teach you to my brother without reservation." ”

"Brother Han, what did you want to wake me up just now? I can't figure it out, so I ask my eldest brother to have something to say. Zhou Ming hurriedly asked.

Han Pingzhi sighed and smiled: "Brother, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that if I don't tell you about the power of this matter, once you take charge of it alone in the future, you will definitely suffer." ”

"Big brother, little brother would like to hear about it." Zhou Zhou Ming asked sincerely.

Before Han Pingzhi spoke, he glanced back, originally after the two of them walked away, the eyes of all the officials present were all focused on the two of them, but when he looked back, everyone's eyes were all avoided, although everyone was still curious about what the two of them were talking about, but no one dared to look at them again.

In order to prevent what he said to Zhou Ming from leaking out, Han Pingzhi pulled Zhou Ming and walked to an inconspicuous corner, making sure that no one would hear their conversation, Han Pingzhi slowly spoke:

"Brother, what do you think I did just now for proposing a banquet to entertain you? What are the considerations in this move? ”

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, couldn't find an idea to answer these two questions for a while, hesitated again and again, and slowly said: "If I guessed correctly, the purpose should be to thank me, as for the consideration of several aspects in this move, for a while, I really can't answer." ”
