Deng Tong felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, because he heard some subtext from Zhou Ming's words, if Zhou Zhou Ming wanted them to go with him, he would definitely not say this, since he said so, then they poor people, there is still hope to continue to enjoy this feast.

Xia Dezhang also heard the mystery in Zhou Ming's speech, but after all, he was not the leader of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, and it was not suitable for him to stand up and speak, so he had been standing in the crowd silently, paying attention to the further development of the situation.

As for the officials under the two people, since they left the banquet, they have been depressed one by one, and at the same time they have a lot of complaints about Zhou Ming in their hearts, and they are reluctant to give up on the delicacies at the banquet, and some even turn around in three steps and two times, while looking at the good wine and food, while drooling.

After they heard Zhou Ming's words, they didn't think much about it, they just hoped that after this case was successfully solved, while Zhou Zhou Ming was added to the official rank, they didn't forget their subordinates, they didn't expect Zhou Zhou Ming to invite them to such a luxurious meal at that time, and they would be satisfied if they could invite them to have a good meal in Zuixian Building.

Deng Tong held back the ecstasy in his heart, and said to Zhou Ming in a humble tone: "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about?" We are brothers in the yamen, of course, we have to advance and retreat together, how can there be a reason to watch you go alone, but we are still sitting here eating a big meal. ”

"Yes, Brother Zhou, as soon as you said you wanted to go back, we remembered that from last night to now, we haven't been back to the yamen." Seeing that Deng Tong took a head, Xia Dezhang couldn't help but say, "Before this, we were all busy with this Northern State spy case, and we didn't go back to the yamen, this was out of official business."

At this time, all the criminals in this case have been handed over to Lord Han, and if we still enjoy it here, it is not reasonable to be reasonable.

In case the imperial court finds out about this matter in the future, we can't afford to inspect Deng. ”

Although the other officials in the south of the city inspected the yamen and didn't want to leave, when they saw that the two heads said so, they had no choice but to echo it, not daring to have the slightest disagreement.

Deng Tong turned his head and glanced at Xia Dezhang very dissatisfied, thinking that this kid is too bad, he showed his loyalty in front of Zhou Ming, and it was okay to please, but in the end he put all the responsibility on my head, don't be complacent, you kid, even if Zhou Ming becomes the leader of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen in the future, it will be more than enough for Lao Tzu to clean you up.

When Han Pingzhi saw this situation, he stood by and watched quietly, and he didn't say a word during the period.

If it were an ordinary host, they would have been anxious to see the guests leaving the banquet, because if these guests leave halfway, it usually means that they are dissatisfied with their hospitality, or they are not satisfied with the dishes on the table.

If the host does not do his best to keep these guests and find ways to resolve the dissatisfaction in the hearts of these guests, then his banquet will not only not achieve the desired purpose, but will have the opposite effect of offending these guests.

But Han Pingzhi is not an ordinary person after all, he is quite deep in the city, he knows that this is a good time for Zhou Ming to win the hearts of the people, and if he comes forward to retain these people, he will naturally steal the limelight of Zhou Ming, and even win the hearts of these people by the way, although it is not a bad thing to take a few more of his own henchmen, but if the price is to offend Zhou Ming, then the matter is another matter.

After all, these small characters like shrimp soldiers and crab generals are not of high value to themselves, and offending Zhou Ming for their sake is really a stupid thing that outweighs the losses, and a smart person like Han Pingzhi will certainly not do such a stupid thing.

After hearing Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong's words, Zhou Zhou Ming was surprised, he originally thought that these two people would definitely return to the banquet immediately after getting his consent, and they didn't even dare to say a kind word.

As a result, these two people not only reacted quickly, but also spoke very decently, and even the little officials under them shouted to return to the yamen.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhou Ming was very happy in his heart, because he and Xia Dezhang were from the same yamen after all, and if they behaved too unproductively, they would be disgraced.

"What the two of you said makes a lot of sense," Zhou Zhou Ming rarely praised Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong, "But you can't patronize yourself, these brothers behind you have been busy with us for so long and have suffered so much, they should also enjoy it."

As for going back to the Yamen on errands, anyway, we have been delayed for so long because of office work, and it is not bad for this meal, so everyone can eat with confidence.

Even if there is any trouble, I will ask Lord Han to solve it for you. ”

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong had already seen through Zhou Ming's thoughts, so after hearing him say this, they were not too surprised, but they were still very happy in their hearts, after all, if Zhou Zhou Ming was a selfish person, he would not be able to eat this meal anyway, and he would definitely not let others continue to eat.

The officials in the south of the city patrol yamen had no hope of eating this big meal, but when they heard Zhou Ming's words, each of them was ecstatic and grateful to Zhou Ming.

A few people even muttered in their hearts, a person like Zhou Zhou Ming, who values love and righteousness and knows how to think about others, if he can really be the leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city, we officials will have a good life.

Even if Zhou Zhou Ming can't get his wish and can't be a real inspector, these people also secretly swear in their hearts that no matter what Zhou Ming's position is in the future, they will all take him as the leader and obey him, after all, only by following him can they have a future.

"Isn't that good?" Deng Tong said symbolically.

Zhou Zhou Ming looked at Han Pingzhi on the side and said with a smile: "Brother Han, you should be able to deal with this little problem for your brothers, right?" ”

Han Pingzhi stroked his beard and smiled very confidently: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, even if these brothers of yours live with me for three or five days, they won't encounter any trouble, let alone just eat a meal."

Although I have been an official for many years, I have not had any outstanding achievements, and I do not have any backers in the court, but I still have the ability to do this little thing. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, turned around, and looked at Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong: "You all heard it, right?" With Lord Han coming out as a guarantor, you can eat here with confidence, even if something really happens, Lord Han can't cover it, and I still have it! ”

"Thank you Brother Zhou, thank you Lord Han, in this case, my brothers and I won't leave first!" Deng Tong immediately thanked him, and his heart blossomed.

Thinking of having the opportunity to eat those delicacies from the mountains and seas again, the officials who inspected the yamen in the south of the city were very happy, and after expressing their gratitude to Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi, they immediately returned to their seats and began to eat and drink again, for fear that if they started late, the delicious food on the table would be robbed by others.

Deng Tong saw that his subordinates were so rude, and his heart was suddenly frightened, after all, Zhou Yiming hadn't left at this time, and they, who were on errands in the same yamen as Zhou Yiming, had to send people out of the gate and come back for dinner to be presentable.

And these people under his command seemed to be possessed by a starving ghost, regardless of the strange eyes of others, and regardless of whether Zhou Ming had left or not, they directly swept the wind and gobbled up at the banquet.

This not only lost Deng Tong's face, but also made him have a deep worry, he was afraid that Zhou Zhou Ming would be angry when he saw his brother so unproductive, and those subordinates were powerful after all, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, in the end, Zhou Ming had no way to take them, and in the end he could only attack himself, if he was really punished for this matter, it would be really unlucky.

In order to avoid such a tragic situation, Deng Tong immediately stood up and shouted angrily at the gobbling officials: "Bastard! Do you all know how to eat? Didn't you see that Brother Zhou hadn't left yet? Lord Han and these big men with heads and faces present all know that they want to send Brother Zhou first, why are you so unproductive? If you don't even understand such a simple truth, you are simply living in vain. ”

The officials who were originally eating Zhengxiang suddenly heard this reprimand, and immediately froze, and then I trembled with fright one by one, they were not afraid of Deng Tong, but afraid that what he said would really anger Zhou Ming, and at that time, they would really not be able to eat and walk away.

One by one, they nervously put down the food in their hands and slowly stood up, wanting to come to Zhou Ming's side to make amends.

Zhou Zhou Ming had been whispering to Han Pingzhi beside him, not paying attention to the actions of his brothers, and only after Deng Tong was furious did he turn around and see the situation in front of him.

After Han Pingzhi figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he looked at Deng Tong and smiled evilly, thinking that this inspector surnamed Deng was really a fool, and he had already stolen all his limelight and majesty from Zhou Ming's high achievements, but as a result, this kid didn't know how to keep his light and maintain his only remaining power and prestige, but instead died everywhere, changing tricks to give all the hearts of his subordinates to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming frowned, stared at Deng Tong, and said sharply, "What are you yelling at?" This is not your territory, even if those brothers are at fault, you shouldn't reprimand them here, let alone that they are not wrong at all!

We are brothers in the yamen, how can there be so many false courtesies, if I am angry because they don't send me out, then am I still a manly husband? ”

"Brother Zhou, I was wrong, I really shouldn't talk too much, but don't misunderstand me, I definitely don't mean anything else, I just think that the brothers have no rules, so I said that." Deng Tong was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground while opening his mouth to explain.

"Don't admit your mistake with me, you are doing this to not give face to Lord Han, if you have anything to say, tell Lord Han." Zhou Ming flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily.
