In addition to worrying that Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong will do him a disservice, in fact, Zhou Zhou Ming has another layer of worry in his heart, that is, after successfully catching the spies in the north this time, whether Yan Qiu is willing or not, the imperial court will definitely add officials to himself, and the most likely situation at that time is to let him be the leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city, replacing Deng Tong and being the inspection envoy.

Once this happens, the relationship between him and Deng Tong and them will change completely, and in order to cope with this change, he must be strict with himself from now on, and establish authority in front of Deng Tong and them from the beginning, only in this way will he be familiar with it after taking office, and the people under him will not cause trouble.

Zhou Zhou Ming knows very well in his heart that the process of climbing up from a low place is very pleasant, reaching the highest position, and there will be a sense of accomplishment that surpasses everyone.

But sliding down from a high position, it feels uncomfortable, Deng Tong before he came to the south of the city to inspect the yamen, the position of the inspection envoy has been sitting very firmly, although he has not made any great achievements, but because the ability of his subordinates is too poor, his official position has hardly been challenged.

If Zhou Zhou Ming becomes the leader of the Yamen in the south of the city, there will definitely be no change in the hearts of the other people in the yamen, and they will even be secretly happy in their hearts, after all, Zhou Ming's ability is too strong, and with him as the leader, their future will be much brighter.

At that time, the only person who can't accept the reality may be Deng Tong, after all, his position was suddenly snatched away by a young man, and he can't accept it if he is replaced by anyone.

Although now because of his strength, he has always been respectful to Zhou Ming, as long as he has the opportunity, he will be courteous and courteous, but Zhou Ming knows that this is all a superficial phenomenon, once there is a conflict of interest between two people, people like Deng Tong can turn their faces faster than turning books.

If you want to completely control this prickly head fundamentally, you have to make him afraid of you, and the first step to make him afraid of you is to make him unable to guess you.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhou Zhou Ming gave up the idea of looking for Deng Tong and them to help him find someone, because once they are involved, it will inevitably let them know the situation in their family, and if they understand more, their sense of mystery in their hearts will drop a lot.

After giving up this plan, Zhou Zhou Ming continued to search aimlessly in the capital city, but after a lot of effort, he still found nothing.

In this process, not only did he not find Lin Ajiao, but even when he asked others, he did not hear any news about Lin Ajiao.

This couldn't help but make him wonder for a while.

What's going on? Am I looking for the wrong method? Or has it been good since the lady and Chunni separated?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming was panicked for a while, after all, it has been a long time since the arrest of the Northern State spy last night, even if the plan is secret, after such a long time has passed, it will be difficult to have a secret at all.

Once the news of the arrest of the Northern State spy is known by other lurkers, large-scale retaliation will definitely be inevitable, and Lin Ajiao, who is the mother of Zhou Ming, will definitely be the primary target of this kind of retaliation.

If this kind of thing happened before, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't worry about Lin Ajiao's safety at all, after all, she was also a master of the martial arts three-grade realm, and her strength was on par with Zhou Zhou Ming, if she met one or two thieves from the northern country, even if she couldn't defeat them, it would be no problem to retreat.

But now it's different, Lin Ajiao was seriously injured in order to help herself, and she hasn't fully recovered until now, if she encounters those northern thieves again at this moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming was terrified at the same time, but he was also reflecting on his own way to find a way, after all, this stupid method is inefficient and time-consuming, and most importantly, if you continue to use this stupid method, it is very likely that you will not be able to find Lin Ajiao's person by tomorrow.

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, because he hadn't slept all night, Zhou Ming suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his headache was splitting, and he almost fell to the ground under the collision of a passerby.

After stabilizing his figure, he forced himself to calm down, and then analyzed carefully, after Lin Ajiao and Chunni separated, where would they go to find themselves, as long as they guessed her search route, it would be easy to find her.

Chengnan patrol yamen? Impossible, Chunni said, when she and her mother came out of the house, the first place she looked for was the inspection yamen in the south of the city, and the place that had already been found, someone as smart as the lady would definitely not look for it a second time.

After rejecting this idea, Zhou Ming slowly moved to a cool place, leaned against a wall, frowned, and continued to think about where Lin Ajiao was most likely to find herself.

The lady went to the south of the city to inspect the yamen, but did not find me, and the officials guarding the gate at that time told her that I and Deng Tong and they walked together, and there was no news after that.

After knowing this news, if the lady never finds me, should she go......

"Hiss......" Zhou Zhou Ming gasped, because he thought of a key clue, if it turned out that he was right, he would probably be able to find Lin Ajiao immediately.

This clue is actually very simple, if Lin Ajiao learned that she and Deng Tong left together, and finally couldn't find herself, she was most likely to go to Deng Tong's house to look for her, after all, if she couldn't find herself in their house, she could also ask them about her whereabouts.

After thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't dare to delay, he immediately quickened his pace, planning to go to Deng Tong's house first to find out.

Although Zhou Yiming was exhausted at this time and had an unbearable headache, the search order he chose was still quite particular, after all, Deng Tong was still the leader of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, and if Lin Ajiao had the same idea as herself, she would definitely be the first to go to Deng Tong's house to look for it.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming usually likes to chat with his colleagues in the yamen, and when chatting, the messengers in the yamen once mentioned where Deng Tong's home is, and Zhou Yiming happened to remember it at that time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

With the information in his head, Zhou Zhou Ming soon came to the door of Deng Tong's house, he did not go up to call the door as soon as possible, but first hid in the distance and carefully observed whether there were any suspicious people at the door of Deng Tong's house.

After confirming that there was no danger, Zhou Ming walked back to the door of Deng Tong's house step by step, although it was already past noon at this time, the door of their house was still closed, and the front door was deserted.

Zhou Ming knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response inside, and then he urged his vitality and hit hard a few more times, only then did he hear a sound of footsteps in the yard.

Zhou Ming took a few steps back and tidied up his clothes, afraid that his appearance would scare others.

Squeak.

The door of Deng's Mansion opened from the inside, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper poked his head out of the crack in the door and looked out, his expression nervous and frightened, as if his family had just been robbed.

After seeing Zhou Ming, the housekeeper's face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted angrily: "Where did the beggar come from, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to knock on the door of my house, I think you are tired of life!"

Tell you, I don't have leftovers at home, and I won't give it to you, so get out of here, otherwise I'll shout and let the people in the house beat you, and you have nowhere to shout. ”

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows, thinking that this dog slave was so bold, even his master didn't dare to talk to him like this, but he was not small, that is, Lao Tzu has something urgent to do now, otherwise you will screw your dog's head off.

Although Zhou Zhou Ming was displeased, he remained silent on the surface, and still said politely: "Dare to ask if the house is Deng Inspector Deng Tong's home?" ”

"Hey, the more you talk about it, the more energetic you get, don't you?" The butler-like man suddenly opened the door, took a wooden stick in his hand, and walked out swaggeringly, "Your name is also your name?" My family is the inspector of the Chengnan Patrol Yamen, and you are a stinky person who begs for food, and you deserve to call him by name? ”

As the butler yelled, he was followed by several big-shouldered and round-waisted family members, all of whom were holding clubs and weapons in their hands, and they were all menacing, as if they were going to devour Zhou Ming alive.

Zhou Zhou Ming looked at these people and wanted to laugh in his heart, after all, the force value of these people was outrageously low, and in his eyes he was like ants, if he competed with these people, it would be a self-deprecating identity.

"Next week, will I ask if Inspector Deng has returned home?" If he's already home, please let me know for me, I have a few important things to say to him. Zhou Ming said lightly, not taking the housekeeper's words seriously at all.

"Zhou ...... Monday Ming? After hearing Zhou Ming's name, the housekeeper's arrogance disappeared completely, followed by a shock, and he couldn't even speak, "You are the big hero who solved the woman's disappearance case and killed Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying?" ”

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded politely: "I really don't dare to be, it's under it." ”

"Oh my god!" The butler was so frightened that he sat on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, but fortunately, his companion pulled him and barely stood up.

This housekeeper and the family members behind him had long heard of Zhou Ming's name and admired his behavior of eliminating harm for the people.

In addition, after Deng Tong was angry with Zhou Ming in the yamen, he always had to vent to his family when he went home, and at the same time he had to tell his family about Zhou Ming's power, which made everyone in the Deng family full of fear of Zhou Ming, thinking that he was a ruthless person who killed people without blinking.

It's not surprising that they have this impression, after all, his master is ruthless enough, and the characters who can make him afraid are certainly not idle people.

"Lord Zhou, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and please have a lot of adults, don't be like the villain, otherwise even if the villain dies a hundred times, it will be difficult to offset the guilt committed."

The housekeeper said as he knelt on the ground crying, and asked for Zhou Ming's forgiveness very sincerely.
