Zhou Zhou Ming knew in his heart that if this important matter could not be told to Han Pingzhi at this time, it was likely that he would miss the big thing, after all, he had already made a promise to some people, and once he didn't keep his word, not only would he be sorry for others, but even he would feel guilty in his heart.

Looking at the excited appearance of everyone in front of him, Zhou Zhou Ming was worried, he knew very well that these people were all on the rise, and they wanted to send themselves out of the door, but they couldn't persuade them at all with just a few words.

He dug out his heart and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't think of a good way, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were easy to dismiss, but those poor people in the yamen of the General Affairs Office had no friendship with him, and it was impossible for them to listen to their own words.

Han Pingzhi watched coldly from the sidelines, although he had already guessed Zhou Ming's thoughts in his heart, but he didn't plan to help him solve the current problem, after all, more things are better than less, send Zhou Ming away, after eating the big meal, there are still many things waiting for him to do, he doesn't want to waste extra energy on these boring things.

And he also has the heart to take a look at Zhou Ming's ability to deal with difficult problems, if he can't handle this little thing, once he encounters difficulties in the future, how can he survive?

Just when the whole scene froze there, Zhou Ming's gaze crossed the faces of Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong, and he immediately had an idea in his heart.

He raised his eyebrows, looked at the two nominal bosses and seniors, and smiled slightly: "Deng Inspector, Xia Zhutou, after I leave, you must be embarrassed to eat and drink here for nothing, so let's do it, I will give you a task to save you from having no confidence to eat and drink here." ”

Han Pingzhi smiled slightly, he had already guessed what Zhou Ming was going to do.

The officials of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office all laughed out loud when they heard Zhou Zhou Ming say this.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong secretly complained in their hearts, thinking that Zhou Ming was trying to force them to death? Originally, they felt embarrassed when they ate this meal, but Zhou Zhou Ming said this embarrassment directly, didn't this make them lose their face at home?

The two of them couldn't stop complaining about Zhou Ming in their hearts, but they could only step forward and promise: "Yes, Brother Zhou, if you have any orders, if you open your mouth, the two of us will definitely do it." ”

"It's simple, too." The smile on Zhou Ming's face became even brighter, "Didn't we do anything for Lord Han?" As the saying goes, if you don't work and eat, everyone will definitely not be down-to-earth.

In that case, I will make you pay some hard work, and the two of you and the brothers in our yamen will all go back to eat now, and bring the brothers from the yamen of the General Affairs Office with you, and serve them well, so that each of them can drink to their heart's content.

If I look back and find that you have not served you well, I will settle accounts with you. ”

When Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong listened to Zhou Ming's words, they were always worried, thinking that he had come up with something to make things difficult for the two of them.

As a result, at the end, both of them were secretly happy in their hearts, because Zhou Zhou Ming handed them a beautiful difference, through which they could not only eat and drink with confidence, but also be addicted to alcohol.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, we will do our best to do this errand, and we will definitely not live up to your trust." Xia Dezhang was the first to open his mouth and promised.

Deng Tong was not to be left behind: "Brother Zhou, just look at it, I don't dare to boast about other things, if you want to say that you drink at the wine table, we haven't been afraid of anyone." ”

The other officials in the south of the city patrol yamen were also rejoicing, and everyone was ready to go back to eat and drink, as for the matter of sending Zhou Ming out of the gate, they had long forgotten about it.

Zhou Ming's face suddenly became serious, and he said loudly: "In this case, what are you still doing in a daze?" Get started now! ”

Before the words fell, the gang of people in the inspection yamen in the south of the city immediately started to move, they didn't care about 3721, and directly dragged the messengers in the inspection yamen of the General Affairs Office to the back hall, completely regardless of whether others wanted to or not.

After a period of noisy noise, behind the gate of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, only Han Pingzhi and Zhou Ming were left, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they all smiled.

"When it comes to eating, these brothers in our yamen reveal their true nature, it's really a shame!" Zhou Zhou Ming said with some embarrassment.

Han Pingzhi stroked his beard and said with a meaningful smile: "These are all trivial things, I'm afraid that what Brother Zhou is going to say to me next is of great significance, right?" ”

"Brother Han is really powerful, before the elder brother speaks, you can guess that I have something to say." Zhou Ming was not surprised at all that Han Pingzhi guessed his thoughts.

"Between you and my brothers, you don't have to go around the corner, you have something to say, as long as I can help, I will definitely be duty-bound." Han Pingzhi said briskly.

Zhou Ming pondered slightly, he wasn't sure if he should ask Han Pingzhi for help, after all, the request he was going to make next, ordinary people seemed to be very rebellious, and even harmed the Great Chu State without any benefit.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to speak: "Brother Han, that's the case, you also know a lot about Hua Mianlang's situation.

Fundamentally speaking, you and I were able to solve the case of a spy in the northern country, and the biggest contributor was him. ”

Han Pingyi listened while pacing back and forth in front of Zhou Ming, and at the same time, he always paid attention to the situation around the two people, for fear that someone would overhear the conversation between the two people.

In fact, hearing this, Han Pingzhi had already roughly understood Zhou Ming's thoughts, but his cautious personality made him not rush to express his position, but continued to listen patiently.

"Although when I fought against him at that time, I almost lost my life, but I didn't know him if I didn't fight." While Zhou Ming spoke, he always paid attention to Han Pingzhi's expression, hoping to read some valuable information from his face, "After defeating him and getting important news from him, I promised him that if I could do it, I would definitely spare his life."

Just now, when you and I confirmed his identity, he told about his past experiences, those tragic pasts, which really hurt those who heard it, and wept when they heard it. ”

"You want me to help him?" When Han Pingzhi heard this, he finally spoke, after all, he was as smart as him, and if he continued to pretend that he didn't understand, it would be a bit of an overshow.

Zhou Ming nodded fiercely: "That's what I meant." Although this person is a northerner and has done a lot of evil, he is not actually bad in nature, and he is also a poor person.

I hope my eldest brother will do me a favor and spare his life.

Big brother rest assured, as long as you can save his life, you will hand him over to me, I will discipline him strictly, and will never let him harm anyone, if he really causes trouble in the future, I will take responsibility. ”

Han Pingzhi didn't answer Zhou Ming's words for the first time, just smiled slightly, and continued to walk around in front of Zhou Ming.

Han Pingzhi's first impression of Hua Mian Lang was not good, and when confirming his identity, he was very disrespectful to himself, and all kinds of performances made Han Pingzhi hate him in the end, if Zhou Zhou Ming did not make this request, he might even be the first to execute Hua Mian Lang in the future when trying this case, in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

It's just that after Zhou Ming interceded for Hua Mian Lang, things were a little tricky, if he simply and rudely refused Zhou Ming, it would obviously affect the relationship between the two people, but if he pretended to agree, and couldn't do it afterwards, then the matter would be even worse, and when the time came, it would not only affect the relationship between the two people, but Zhou Ming would also look down on himself, after all, a person who doesn't count his words, no one will have a good impression of him.

If things really turn out like this, then all his previous efforts will be put into water.

But if Han Pingzhi really helped Zhou Ming with this, it would also cause a lot of trouble, after all, this case was unusual, and the emperor might personally interrogate it in the future, and even if Han Pingzhi wanted to show mercy to his subordinates, he might not be able to intervene.

"Alas," Han Pingzhi sighed, his face was embarrassed, "Good brother, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to help you, it's that the eldest brother is really powerless."

You said that it's not good to protect someone, but you want to protect this thief in the north, don't you have a hard time with yourself?

If you had told me about this last night, there might have been room for manoeuvre, but if you spoke now, it would have been too late. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming was obedient and immediately asked nervously: "Brother Han, how do you say this?" ”

"When you went back to Huamanlou to take those criminals, I had already written a report, briefly wrote down the facts of the case, and submitted it." Han Pingzhi pretended to say, "Now that the upper authorities know everything about this case, the eight thieves from the Northern Kingdom, if there is one less, the above will fight with me, and then it will not be you who beg me, but the eldest brother who begs you to save my life." ”

After saying that, Han Pingzhi deliberately pretended to be more than capable and insufficient, as if he felt deep guilt because he couldn't help Zhou Ming.

Zhou Zhou Ming first sighed in his heart, thinking that this matter must be out of play, after all, the court already knew about the existence of Hua Mian Lang, if he committed a crime against the wind and let Hua Mian Lang go without permission, not only Han Pingzhi would lose his black yarn hat because of this, but he might also cause a big disaster, after all, the mastermind of this matter was himself.

But after thinking about it, Zhou Ming was happy again, because he suddenly figured out a truth, what Han Pingzhi said just now was very high-sounding, but it was all a truth on the surface, in order to convince himself to give up the idea of keeping Hua Mianlang.

But Han Pingzhi, who has been an official for many years, must be more than that, he must have the ability to help himself secretly, but for some reason, he is unwilling to make a move.

Okay, since you don't eat and drink in the toast, Lao Han, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Zhou Zhou Ming secretly decided in his heart that no matter what means he used, he must force Han Pingzhi to submit and help him save Hua Mianlang's life, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well for the rest of his life.

"Good brother, don't think about it, I'll send you out first." Han Pingzhi said softly.
