Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't refute himself for the first time, Han Pingzhi secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that this kid was still young, and he was easily deceived by himself like this, it seems that he has a lot to learn in the future.

While secretly happy, Han Pingzhi planned to open the gate in person and send Zhou Ming out, as long as he was allowed to walk out of the gate, his trouble would be completely solved.

"Wait!"

Zhou Ming suddenly said loudly, then grabbed Han Pingzhi's hand and dragged him back.

Han Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, and had a premonition that the situation was not good, but as an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, he still remained silent: "Brother Xian, aren't you in a hurry to go home to see the two old men?" Why is there no rush again? ”

Zhou Zhou Ming smiled maliciously, he looked back at the front yard of the yamen, there was no one in the front yard, everyone went to the backyard for a banquet.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Zhou Zhou Ming walked up to Han Pingzhi's side, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Han, today I finally saw your iron-faced selflessness, and my brother admires it very much." ”

Han Pingzhi cheered up and listened to Zhou Ming's speech, and when he saw him praising himself, he knew that he was not at ease, so he was doubly vigilant, for fear of falling into his trap.

"Brother Xian said this, how can the eldest brother afford it!"

"Even so, before leaving, the younger brother still wants to remind the eldest brother that you must not ruin your reputation because of nepotism." Zhou Ming stared at Han Pingzhi's eyes and said with a meaningful smile.

"Good brother, what you said, the eldest brother doesn't understand." Although he knew that Zhou Zhou Ming was playing a trap for himself, Han Pingzhi really didn't know where the breakthrough point for Zhou Zhou Ming to attack him was, which couldn't help but make him feel a little panicked.

"There are some things that can only be understood, not spoken, otherwise the people who say it and the people who listen will be very embarrassed, and even some small-minded people will die of old age." The smile on Zhou Ming's face was even worse.

"Good brother, if you find that the eldest brother has done something wrong, although you can say it directly, don't be so weird, otherwise the eldest brother will be angry." As the degree of panic became higher and higher, Han Pingzhi's tone became stern.

Zhou Zhou Ming deliberately pretended to be panicked, and pretended to laugh: "Oh, big brother, don't be angry." The eldest brother is iron-faced and selfless, how could he do something wrong?

I just said that just to remind my eldest brother that there are some people in the group of dignitaries and dignitaries I brought with me, who may have some friendship and involvement with you.

I hope that when dealing with these people, the eldest brother must put himself in the right position, and not let them destroy your iron-faced and selfless reputation. ”

Han Pingzhi sighed in his heart, thinking to himself, good boy, are you actually waiting for me here? I just said that I couldn't help you, but you directly exposed my old bottom and didn't save me a little face, and you kid was ruthless enough.

Originally, if Han Pingzhi successfully investigated this case of traitors in the northern country, he could be added to the rank and knighted, and he would be rewarded by the imperial court, and in addition, he could also get a windfall.

The source of this money is the dignitaries and dignitaries, as long as he uses a little means to scare and scare those people when dealing with them, even if they have nothing to do with this case, he can squeeze a lot of money from them, and afterwards these people are still dumb and eat coptis, and they can't say what they are suffering.

After all, it is these dignitaries and dignitaries who don't learn well themselves, and it is not a glorious thing to go to a place like Huamanlou to look for flowers and ask willows, if they are still in prison because of this kind of thing, and they are involved in the case of traitors in the northern country, then not only will they suffer a loss of face, but they may also be punished by the imperial court and lose their official life.

If you can use a large sum of money to eliminate these troubles and save face, these dignitaries and dignitaries can't ask for anything, after all, they lack morality, heart and brains, and they are not short of money.

But what Han Pingzhi never expected was that Zhou Ming had noticed this a long time ago, and now he had made this financial path clear in person, and it was not until this moment that Han Pingzhi really knew how powerful Zhou Ming was.

In order to achieve his own goals, this kid really turned his face and didn't recognize people, and he did whatever it took to call him a brother just now, just like a person, he just refused one of his requests, he openly provoked himself and cut off his financial route for a large sum of money.

Such a young man, if he is allowed to develop smoothly over time, will be a very terrifying existence.

Han Pingzhi had always fantasized that if he had befriended Zhou Zhou Ming when he had not made a career and tried to encircle him, maybe he would gradually control this young man and let him use it for himself, so that no matter how much he achieved in the future, he would be a puppet in his own hands and at his mercy.

But only now did he realize that all this was just wishful thinking.

It is impossible for a powerful character like Zhou Zhou Ming to be a puppet under anyone, he is the one who is in charge of everything and controls everyone.

Although he saw Zhou Ming's power, Han Pingzhi didn't want to admit defeat in front of Zhou Ming when he was fledgling: "Thank you Brother Xian for reminding me, my eldest brother will never make such a mistake."

No matter what kind of kinship those dignitaries and dignitaries have with me, I will enforce the law impartially and will not tolerate them. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming used this trick to threaten Han Pingzhi, making him understand that he couldn't be clearer about his tricks, hoping that he would admit defeat to himself as soon as possible and promise himself to save Hua Mianlang's life, as for how much money he would extort from those dignitaries, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't care at all, and he didn't want to get a piece of the pie.

He originally thought that as soon as this trick was made, Han Pingzhi would immediately wake up and agree to his request, but what he didn't expect was that this old boy didn't cry when he saw the coffin, and after being pointed to death, he still refused to admit defeat.

However, this is not difficult for Zhou Ming, because he still has a trump card in his hand, as long as this card is played, he doesn't believe that Han Pingzhi can continue to be hard-mouthed.

snapped twice, Zhou Zhou Ming clapped his hands twice, and then stretched out his thumb to Han Pingzhi: "The eldest brother is really fair and selfless, and the younger brother really admires it."

It's a pity that a talent like the eldest brother has not been appreciated by the imperial court, and has been buried in the yamen of the general government, which is really a big waste.

Alas, that's right, big brother, you can't be merciful to the boss of Huamanlou, this kid offended me miserably, when you deal with him, you must breathe a sigh for me.

But don't hurt his life, because I always feel that there is a big secret behind this kid, and if we can dig out the secret behind him, maybe we can make a great contribution. ”

Seeing Zhou Ming say the boss of Hua Manlou, Han Pingzhi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his face instantly, and at the same time, the vigilant expression on his face disappeared, replaced by flattery and flattery: "Good brother, it is not completely impossible to save Hua Mianlang's life." ”

Zhou Ming's face was silent, but he secretly laughed in his heart.

This old boy is really a toast and doesn't eat and drink, just now I begged him so sincerely, he just didn't agree, he just didn't agree, he had to force me to use a killer move, he knew that I was powerful, it was really cheap.

"Oh, don't be embarrassed, eldest brother, if there is any damage to you in order to save his life, then I, as a brother, really can't afford it." Seeing Han Pingzhi's funny appearance, Zhou Ming deliberately mocked.

"Don't be embarrassed." Han Pingzhi's answer was categorical.

For such an answer, Zhou Ming was very satisfied: "Since this is the case, then this matter, please big brother!"

It's not too early, the eldest brother hurried back to eat, and the younger brother said goodbye. ”

Zhou Ming bowed and saluted, and then without waiting for Han Pingzhi to return the salute, he turned around and opened the gate of the yamen by himself and walked out.

Before Han Pingzhi could react, Zhou Ming walked out of the door, he chased after him in a few steps, stood at the door of the yamen, looked at Zhou Ming's figure gradually moving away, and felt infinite fear in his heart.

The future backer that he identifies is not only outstanding, but also clean and decisive, never dragging his feet, if such a character can't achieve great things, it's simply intolerable.

After sighing for a while, Han Pingzhi felt a burst of regret in his heart, because he underestimated Zhou Ming's courage for a while, so he made a mistake in making a judgment, so that when Zhou Zhou Ming asked him for help for the first time, he actually stupidly refused.

This refusal not only brought serious consequences, but also almost caused him to tear his face with Zhou Ming.

If things really get to the point of inextricability, and the boss of Huamanlou is found out because of this, even if Han Pingzhi has made a great contribution in the Northern State spy case this time, he will definitely die in the end and have no place to be buried.

Seeing Zhou Ming's figure gradually disappearing, Han Ping's heart was frightened, he was stunned for a moment, hurriedly closed the door of the yamen, and went straight to the back hall of the yamen.

It's not because he's greedy and wants to go to the back hall for a feast, but because there is an important person waiting for him to deal with, and this person's life is a huge threat if he lives one more day, so he must make this person disappear quickly.

After Zhou Ming came out of the yamen of the General Affairs Office, he was in a good mood along the way, humming a little song while rushing to his house.

He not only safely handed over the prisoner to Han Pingzhi, but also won the victory in the confrontation with Han Pingzhi.

Before this, the two had always been called brothers, but after this victory, although the two of them can still be called brothers and sisters on the surface in the future, in fact, the relationship has changed, and Han Pingzhi has changed from the previous old-timer and leader to the current follower.

On the way home, because Zhou Ming's strange dress and the blood stains on his body, he often attracted the attention of passers-by, but he didn't care, and wanted to hurry back home and report safety to his family.

Since he went out yesterday morning, he has not been home until now, and he can imagine that the family is anxious to find himself at this time.
