Han Pingzhi secretly thought to himself, the person who can give more than 50,000 taels of silver to his companions is either an emperor or a prince, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be a person who has achieved great things.

As for the mystery of this temptation, what it will be, Han Pingzhi can't take the initiative to reveal it, so he can only wait patiently, but in front of him, he can immediately test whether Zhou Ming is a smart person or not.

Because as soon as he said that he wanted to invite Zhou Ming to dinner, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately refused, without even the slightest hesitation, this time his big reason has been finished, if Zhou Ming's attitude still hasn't changed, it can only prove that he is a foolish stupid person.

"Brother Zhou, I've finished talking about the experience I can teach you, so let's get down to business for now." Han Ping said with a smile on his face.

Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly replied: "Brother Han has something to say, even if he says it directly, the younger brother will obey his fate." ”

Although he hasn't completely seen Zhou Ming's attitude, from the tone of voice, Han Pingzhi has already noticed Zhou Ming's change.

"Good brother, happy." Han Pingzhi said unhurriedly, "Then you see, do we eat today's meal or not?" ”

Han Pingzhi finally asked his question, and he looked at Zhou Ming nervously, hoping to get an answer from his mouth that would not disappoint him.

"Since Brother Han is gracious, I will be disrespectful." Zhou Zhou Ming said calmly, it seems that this answer has been in his heart for a long time.

Han Pingzhi was overjoyed, the reason for this was not only because Zhou Ming agreed to his banquet, but more importantly, it proved that he was not wrong, Zhou Ming is really a smart person, and as for whether he is a person who does great things, it depends on another tentative answer, but Han Pingzhi has confidence in Zhou Ming, and he believes that the answer will definitely satisfy him.

"That's right!" Han Ping said happily while pulling Zhou Ming back, and at the same time instructed his subordinates to hurry up and prepare a few good banquets on the table, and he wanted to treat Zhou Ming and all the errand people present.

The hungry and thirsty poor people were already on the verge of collapse, and some of them even showed signs of fainting, after all, under the scorching sun, they not only had to guard their posts, but also had to endure hunger, which was unbearable for anyone.

However, as soon as he heard that Han Pingzhi was going to set up a banquet and invite everyone to eat, the morale of the people immediately rose, the reason is very simple, on the one hand, these people usually live a very difficult life, and the only ones that are only enough for the family to eat and eat are very difficult, let alone drink.

And the banquet set up by Han Pingzhi must be full of wine and delicacies, they can not only feast on their mouths, maybe they will be happy at the banquet, but also reward them with some money and things, at that time, they can also improve the food for the family, it is precisely because of this idea that they will be so happy, and even forget their fatigue all of a sudden, and cheer up one by one, for fear that the errand they are responsible for will make a mistake, so that not only will they be punished, but they may also affect others who cannot eat the banquet.

If this situation really happens, maybe this person who made a mistake will not want to mix in the yamen in the future, because he will become the target of public criticism, and will not only be isolated by others, but also bullied by people.

Just as Han Pingzhi happily pulled Zhou Ming to enter the back hall of the yamen, take a rest, and then prepare to eat, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly stopped and said to Han Pingzhi with a serious face:

"Brother Han, we can eat this meal today, but we must finish our business, otherwise you and I will always remember our business in our hearts, and we will not be happy to eat, and we dare not drink happily, wouldn't it be very disappointing?"

"This ......" Han Ping was a little hesitant for a while, in fact, he thought so in his heart, but from last night to now, his brothers have been busy with him for a long time, and they are all very tired.

"I don't think it has to be like this, do I? After all, if you take a look, our brothers are very tired, and it is also necessary to take a proper rest, these prisoners are taken to the prison and taken care of for the time being, and there should be no major incidents, after all, this is the yamen of the General Affairs Office, no matter how bold the thief is, he will not dare to come here to make trouble. ”

Han Pingzhi said in a calm tone, although these words were ostensibly for Zhou Ming, but he spoke at a very high volume, and the people on the side could hear it clearly.

Han Pingzhi's purpose in doing this is very simple, on the one hand, he wants Zhou Ming to retreat and obey his own arrangement, and on the other hand, he also wants to test the thoughts of his brothers, if they are willing to work hard first, then he is also happy to push the boat, after all, after today's case is completed, the biggest beneficiary is not only Zhou Ming, but he Han Pingzhi.

Originally, those poor people were happily planning to wait for a big meal, but who knew that Zhou Ming suddenly said that he would work first, which made everyone angry in their hearts, even Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang felt that Zhou Ming was a little unkind, and they were all hoping that Han Pingzhi could change Zhou Ming's mind.

When Han Pingzhi persuaded Zhou Ming, the people were extremely nervous, and everyone didn't know if Zhou Ming would compromise, if this kid didn't have a tendon and didn't get in the oil and salt, they would have to deal with this group of prisoners under the scorching sun, in a state of hunger and thirst.

Thinking of this terrible scene, all the officials present focused their eyes on Zhou Ming, and the anger in their eyes seemed to be about to ignite Zhou Ming.

Although these officials did not show excessive resistance, Han Pingzhi had already found dissatisfaction on their faces, which proved that his worries just now were not superfluous, if his opinion was consistent with Zhou Ming, then the anger of these people was not only aimed at Zhou Ming alone.

It's just that Zhou Zhou Ming obviously doesn't have Han Pingzhi's insight, he still insists on his opinion under huge pressure: "Brother Han, I understand everything you said, and I also understand that it is not easy for these brothers under him, and they have suffered a lot with us."

But why did the court and the people raise us? Isn't it just for this kind of critical moment?

As the so-called public first and then private, the northern country is eyeing my Great Chu State, bent on going south, invading our Great Chu State, their spies have been sent under our noses, if we come to this situation, we don't work hard for the court, for the people to get rid of worries, you and I are really ashamed of the court, ashamed of the people of the world. ”

Zhou Ming's words were reasonable, impassioned, quoting scriptures, and very infectious, even Han Pingzhi, an old oilman in officialdom, couldn't help but want to stretch out his thumb and praise Zhou Ming.

Those poor people who were originally demoralized, when they heard Zhou Ming's words, they all felt related, because they were all sober up all of a sudden, and the spies from the northern country had come to the capital to lurk for so many years, and they didn't find out, if it wasn't for Zhou Zhouming's wit and bravery, maybe these people would still be lurking.

The security force of the capital is so weak, if the day really comes when the northern country goes south, and the whole court is as lazy and disgusted as they are now, how can it be possible to resist those brave northern barbarians.

And the people Zhou Zhou Ming said include these poor people, because once they take off this official uniform, they are ordinary people, and each of them drags their families with their families, born in a peaceful and prosperous era, although the family can't live a life of fine clothes and food, but there is no problem to barely eat and drink, and enjoy the joy of family.

But once the war hits, everything can't be saved, as the so-called chaos away from people, not as good as the Taiping dog, really at that time, the dignitaries can pat their butts, take the gold and silver soft away and fly high, the emperor can also move the capital to protect himself, only the people have no way to escape.

Without waiting for Han Pingzhi to respond to Zhou Ming's words, all the poor people on the scene unanimously supported Zhou Ming:

"What Lord Zhou said is too good, these northern dog thieves have already hit our doorstep, we must not delay major events for personal gains and losses."

"It's just that we don't eat a meal for the time being, we can't starve to death, for the safety of the people of my Great Chu State, we should deal with these prisoners first."

"Lord Han, just listen to Lord Zhou's words, it doesn't matter if we are tired."

In this wave of support, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were dumbfounded, the two of them really didn't expect that these people were eager to kill Zhou Ming just now, how could it be that after only a blink of an eye, they all supported Zhou Ming.

The two of them glanced at each other, although they never understood what was going on, but the two of them were unwilling to be left behind, so they also spoke loudly in support of Zhou Ming.

"Brother Zhou said well!"

"Whoever says to eat first, I'll be the first to rush with him!"

Zhou Zhou Ming said those words just now, but in fact, the purpose was just to convince Han Pingzhi, he didn't expect that the power of those words would be so great and get such a wide resonance.

He looked at Han Pingzhi, without any smug look on his face, and just said lightly: "Brother Han, it seems that I am not the only one who thinks so, and the brothers think about the same as me." ”

Han Pingzhi stroked his beard, and he didn't expect the scene in front of him: "Good brother, your personal personality charm and appeal are really too great, I can't imagine that the people from the Yamen of my General Affairs Office support you so much, it really opens my eyes!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Han Pingzhi instructed the kitchen in the yamen to continue to prepare the feast, while he followed Zhou Ming to the center of the courtyard of the yamen of the General Affairs Office and began to hand over the prisoners.

It was only at this time that Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, the hot potato in his hand could finally be handed over to Han Pingzhi.
