Zhou Ming has not been too obsessed with money, thinking that it is enough to spend, so he will generously decide to give Han Pingzhi 100,000 taels of silver, the amount is half of this huge amount, if it is an ordinary person, at most he will be willing to take out 50,000 taels of silver and hand it over to Han Pingzhi, and it is impossible to give more than one point.

He also deeply understands in his heart that those who achieve great things are not informal, and they can't be stingy, after all, there is a give-and-take, and today he took out 100,000 taels of silver and handed it to Han Pingzhi, firstly, he can gag his mouth, so that he can not have the slightest complaint about himself, and secondly, it can also make him understand his own mind, dare not look down on himself, the relationship between the two people, as long as it can be maintained, no matter how many 200,000 taels of silver in the future, it is within reach.

Because Zhou Zhou Ming is now a famous celebrity all over the world, the reason why he was not taken seriously by the court and only enjoyed a good reputation among the people when he solved the case of the disappearance of the woman before was because of the prisoner he captured, and he was inextricably linked with the first minister in the court, and it was because of this relationship that he was not rewarded for his merits, and even almost lost his life because of it.

But this time it's different, the mastermind behind this Northern State spy case is the Southern King of the Northern Kingdom, this person is the enemy of the entire Great Chu State, that is to say, this case is related to the interests of the entire Great Chu State, as long as this case is successfully solved, whether it is Zhou Ming or Han Pingzhi, they are all heroes of the Great Chu Kingdom, as long as the emperor is thinking normally, he will not dare not reward Zhou Ming and them, even if Zhou Zhou Ming had a conflict with Yan Qiu before.

Once Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi get a reward equal to their merits, they will rise to prominence in the officialdom, support each other, and form an unbreakable community of interests, at that time, without their hard work to make money, the money will naturally fly into their pockets.

"Brother Zhou, I may have said a little too much to you today, and what I said is a bit profound, maybe you won't be able to digest it for a while, but you must keep all these words in mind, which is very important for your future development." Han Pingzhi finally told him about the way of the emperor and began to do the finishing work, "Because what I said today is all the valuable experience gained from practice over the years, and it is applicable everywhere." ”

Zhou Ming, who was full of thoughts, was really relieved to see that Han Pingzhi had finally finished speaking, he retracted his attention, clenched his fists, and said solemnly: "Thank you Brother Han for your teachings, your words, even if I lose all my teeth, I will never forget them." ”

"Okay, with your words, I am relieved, it seems that my good intentions just now have not been in vain." Han Pingzhi said earnestly, his eyes full of happy light.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Compared with the happy mood of the two brothers, the other people in the yamen of the General Affairs Office did not have this good mood, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were thirsty and hungry, and the whole person was in a state of rapid collapse, but seeing that Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi had not finished speaking, they did not dare to act without permission, so they could only endure the pain, guard their posts, and guard those prisoners.

The officials in the yamen of the general mansion, the situation is not much better, they don't dare to resent their top bosses, so they put all their anger on Zhou Ming, thinking that he has no eyesight, seeing that the prisoners have been sent, not only did he not hurry up with Lord Han to deal with these prisoners, but instead dragged Lord Han there chattering endlessly, just like a blind man.

As soon as they entered the yamen of the general mansion, in order to prevent them from escaping, the officials all put heavy flails on them, each of which weighed twenty pounds, such a weight, not to mention pressing on the neck, even if it was carried in the hand, it could exhaust people to death.

Not to mention that, after wearing these heavy torture instruments, the prisoners were also required to kneel on the ground and not move for a moment.

You must know that it is already noon at this moment, the scorching sun is in the sky, and there is no shade in the compound of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, all the prisoners are exposed to the sun, their mouths are dry, their heads are dizzy, everyone is miserable, and there are a few top girls who are full of flowers, because of their weak constitution, they have passed out several times.

But even so, they were not treated well by the officials, who just poured some cold water on the top girls who had passed out, and when they woke up, they ignored them.

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang saw the tragic situation at the scene clearly, and both of them were worried in their hearts, the successful completion of this arrest mission should have been a moment of meritorious service, if these prisoners had an accident in the yamen of the general government, the prospects would not be optimistic.

"It's not a way to go on like this, look at these prisoners, they haven't eaten or drunk, they are basking under the poisonous sun, and they can't be beaten with iron." Deng Tong couldn't help it, and muttered to Xia Dezhang in a very small voice.

Although Xia Dezhang's position has never been as high as Deng Tong's, his political consciousness and mental flexibility far surpass Deng Tong's.

Hearing Deng Tong's complaints, Xia Dezhang smiled slightly and said, "Deng Inspection, when is this happening, why can't you see the situation clearly?" Don't look at our young age Master Zhou, his vision and mind are much better than you and me.

He knew very well that although he had made great achievements this time, these prisoners were nothing compared to Lord Han.

If you can take advantage of this opportunity to have a relationship with Lord Han, you will have a backer in the future. ”

"But these criminals are very important to this case of traitors in the northern country, aren't Lord Zhou afraid of smashing this case?" Deng Tong clearly hasn't turned a corner yet.

"Alas, Inspector Deng, you and I have worked together for many years, and I have to say a heart-wrenching word to you today." After listening to Deng Tong's words, Xia Dezhang was angry in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that Lao Tzu had not been able to sit in the position of the inspector, it turned out that the problem was not elsewhere, it was all because of Deng Tong, a fool.

This kid is so stupid, how can he be promoted, he can't vacate the vacant seat of the patrol envoy, even if Lao Tzu fights for his life, don't think about being promoted,

But when he was angry, Xia Dezhang still said patiently: "The sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it, even if these prisoners are all dead, it will not be your turn to worry about me."

Master Zhou is usually righteous, even if the problem is with us, he will definitely stand up for us, not to mention that if something really happens now, all the responsibility lies with him, and it is even more impossible for him to throw the pot on us.

Listen to me, stand up to your post honestly, don't suffer from heat stroke, go back to work, let's have a good drink. ”

After hearing these words, Deng Tong seemed to wake up like a dream, and immediately understood: "Lao Xia, you are still transparent, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be stupid to think of a way!" ”

"Otherwise, you won't be promoted, learn more!" Xia Dezhang patted Deng Tong's shoulder and smiled proudly.

After Han Pingzhi and Zhou Zhou Ming finished talking about the truth, they felt very happy, and felt that the distance between the two people had narrowed a lot.

In fact, the reason why he talked so much to Zhou Ming was not entirely because he wanted to shorten the distance between the two people, which also contained other purposes, the first was to let Zhou Ming understand that he had to eat today's meal, if he didn't eat, the two of them would not only make his subordinates dissatisfied, but also bury huge hidden dangers on the road to future development.

Second, and one of his key purposes, is to test whether Zhou Ming is a person who really does big things.

Han Pingzhi has seen all kinds of people since he entered the officialdom, some of them are amazing, some are extraordinary, and some are brave and bold, but he has never seen a person who combines these advantages, even if it is his old boss, the old teacher Yan Qiu did not do this, only Zhou Ming collected all these advantages, so he decided that Zhou Zhou Ming was not an idle person in the future, and he could be his most solid backer.

But Han Pingzhi also knows that these advantages alone cannot prove that this person can achieve great things, because those who achieve great things must be open-minded, and they must not focus on immediate interests, and more importantly, they must not be greedy for money.

And Han Pingzhi is still not sure whether Zhou Ming has these qualities until now, because when he got an IOU of 200,000 taels of silver from Yang Shijun and handed it to Zhou Ming, his face was full of joy, and he seemed to be satisfied with getting this amount of money, and he did not show any attitude of wanting to share some of it with himself at that time.

This made Han Pingzhi very worried, he was afraid that Zhou Ming was a miser who was greedy for money and forgot his righteousness, if this was the case, even if he had those advantages, he would definitely not be a person who could achieve great things, let alone become his backer.

When Han Pingzhi told the truth just now, he was more or less hinting at Zhou Ming, telling him that when he got a huge fortune, he must remember to share it with his right-hand man.

With Zhou Ming's ingenuity, Han Pingzhi felt that he would definitely be able to understand his hints, and the next thing he had to do was wait, if Zhou Ming was really a villain who saw money, he would always pretend not to understand his words and swallow all the 200,000 taels of silver alone.

On the other hand, if Zhou Zhou Ming just lacks experience in this area and doesn't know how to achieve great wealth when he should be able to see it, then after listening to his own words, he will definitely give himself a sum of money immediately.

And how big this money is, it proves how big Zhou Ming's mind is.

Han Pingzhi had already secretly calculated in his heart, if Zhou Ming gave him 20,000 taels of silver, it would prove that he was not a stingy and greedy person, and if the amount he took out was 50,000 taels of silver, it would basically prove that Zhou Ming was definitely a person who could achieve great things.

As for adding the number further, Han Pingzhi didn't dare to think about it, because even if it was replaced by himself, he might only take out 30,000 taels of silver to his companions, and if he had one more point, he himself would feel extremely distressed.
