Lin Ajiao accompanied Mrs. Zhou to stand in the distance, although she had been whispering to comfort Mrs. Zhou, but her attention had been on Zhou Ming's side, and when she heard Zhou Ming say that those people from their yamen decided to ask for help from the superior yamen, Lin Ajiao woke up like a dream and understood that the danger that Zhou Zhou Ming experienced last night was really extraordinary.

After thinking of this, Lin Ajiao blamed herself even more, and even felt that she had neither brains nor assertiveness, and she was led by others a little, and she didn't even believe her father-in-law.

Mrs. Zhou sat on the chair, looked at Zhou Ming in the distance with a relieved face, and muttered vigorously in her heart, her son has really grown up, I thought that he had been recuperating at home for a long time because of his frail and sick, and lacked experience in dealing with people.

But now it seems that these worries are superfluous, and his good son has not only returned to normal, but also has a far greater ability to deal with people than his father.

He went to the south of the city to inspect the yamen on an errand, and it didn't take long for him to get along with his colleagues there, and he was even an indispensable member of the south of the city to inspect the yamen.

After thinking of these, thinking of the hard work she had paid to save her son's life, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel sad, she wiped her tears with two sleeves, and felt that her original efforts were worth it.

Mrs. Zhou and the subordinates in the family have not been in the officialdom, so they don't know the intertwined relationship between the various forces in the court, and after listening to Zhou Ming's words, they don't have any worries and distress, they are just happy for Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ruhai is different, although he has been in officialdom for most of his life and has never achieved much success, but he is still very clear about the unspoken rules in officialdom and the various hostile relationships between factions in the court, so after listening to Zhou Ming's words, he immediately felt a little worried.

Zhou Ruhai knew that the chief manager of the Yamen of the General Mansion was Han Pingzhi, although he didn't know this person, and he didn't have any friendship with him, but he had already heard of this person's origin and experience.

He knew that Han Pingzhi was born in Baiyi Wei before, and for a long time, he was a big celebrity around Yan Qiu, and he was in the limelight for a while, but he didn't know why, and then he suddenly left Baiyiwei, and with Yan Qiu's secret help, he sat in the position of the chief of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, and since then, he has never had anything to do with Yan Qiu on the surface, as if he has completely broken away from Yan Qiu's sphere of influence and set up his own portal.

Zhou Ruhai is an old Jianghu, although his official position has always been very low, but he is still very clear about the doorways in the officialdom, and the reason why he did not use these doorways to climb up is because he is not here, after all, when Zhou Yiming was sick before, his energy was consumed too much.

Zhou Ruhai knows very well in his heart that things in the court are true and false, false and real, everything can not be just seen on the surface, like Yan Qiu, a high-powered minister, when he is proud, he will definitely have a sense of distress, and in order to be able to enjoy wealth forever, usually big people at this level will widely install their own chess pieces in the court, these chess pieces are not only his eyes and ears, but also the dead soldiers who worked for him at critical moments.

Although Han Pingzhi has been away from the white-clothed guard for a long time, and he has not maintained any contact with Yan Qiu on the surface, but from Zhou Ruhai's point of view, Han Pingzhi looks like one of Yan Qiu's many chess pieces, if this is the case, his son and Yan Qiu already have a deep hatred, if at this critical moment, the people in their yamen go to Han Pingzhi for help, don't they just stretch their necks over and let people cut them with knives?

At that time, Han Pingzhi refused his son's request for help, and even sabotaged their arrest operation, it was still light, because such sabotage was on the surface, and it was relatively easy for you to take precautions, even if the plan to capture the thieves in the north failed, the possibility of losing his life was very low, but if Han Pingzhi used more insidious means, not only their arrest operation might fail completely, but the lives of his son and his colleagues might also be lost unconsciously.

Yan Qiu himself is insidious and cunning, and the person who leaves from under his hands is definitely not a decent man and gentleman, in case Han Pingzhi pretends to agree when he receives a request for help, and then superficially participates in the arrest of the thieves in the northern country, but secretly tries his best to cause Zhou Ming to kill them, the situation will be worse, because when Zhou Zhou Ming and their lives are not only in danger, but the credit in their hands is more likely to be taken away by people with bad intentions.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ruhai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although his son had come back alive, he still couldn't help but be afraid for a while, after all, the strategy they decided to use at that time was too dangerous, and even if his son was safe and sound, maybe the credit he should have received at this time had already made Han Pingzhi, the old fritter, snatch more than half of it.

It was precisely because of this worry in his heart that he wanted to quickly pull Zhou Ming into the study, and the two of them talked about this issue alone, the reason for this was very simple, after all, there were many people in his family, and such a sensitive issue, once it was discussed in public, it was guaranteed that someone would spread the word, and it didn't matter if he was then, but it might cause trouble for his son, Zhou Ruhai didn't want to take this risk.

When Zhou Ruhai noticed the eyes of everyone in the family looking at Zhou Ming, he knew that his plan would not work, because once he did this, it might arouse the suspicion of the family members even more, and he might not be afraid that his wife would be scared out of illness, and if things became like this, it would be worth the loss.

So he could only ask his own question: "Ming'er, when you made this decision to ask for help, did you know who the head of the General Affairs Office was?" Do you know where he came from? ”

Zhou Zhou Ming originally wanted to tell all the things he experienced last night in one breath, but he was suddenly interrupted by his father and diverted the topic, and he could only answer the question honestly.

"I don't know it myself, but the boss in our yamen knows the person of the chief manager very well, and he also told us about his background."

Zhou Ruhai was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Then after knowing all this, have you ever objected?" ”

Zhou Zhou Ming didn't think much about it when he heard his father ask that question just now, thinking that he was just curious about what they were doing at that time, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized that his father was aware of the danger and was worried about himself.

Zhou Ming shook his head: "No." ”

After hearing this answer, Zhou Ruhai was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, because he knew in his heart that Zhou Ming did not object, and it was even more impossible for others to object, in this case, their plan for help would definitely be implemented smoothly, and people like Han Pingzhi, once they smelled the interests and blood, they would definitely show their fangs and snatch all benefits and merits by unscrupulous means.

Originally, his son could be said to have a pivotal position in this operation to capture the thieves in the northern country, and just catching the credit of Hua Mian Lang was enough to make him promoted, but these young people, at the most critical moment, actually made extraneous branches and lured wolves into the house, isn't this just self-defeating future?

Looking at the bloodstained scars on his son's body and the tattered clothes, Zhou Ruhai was heartbroken, because he knew that as long as Han Pingzhi was allowed to intervene in this case, then Zhou Ming and those colleagues in their yamen would become Han Pingzhi's pawns, and the most dangerous task would definitely be completed by them, and in the end, the person who sat back and enjoyed it and made a fortune by light was Han Pingzhi.

"Alas, my stupid son, you ought to be against it." Zhou Ruhai's face was distressed, as if he was extremely disappointed in his son, "It seems that you have the ability to be an official, and you don't understand the way of being an official in the officialdom at all, but this is also to blame me, I should have taught you this truth earlier, in that case, it will not make you suffer such a big loss now." ”

Zhou Ming had already guessed his father's thoughts, he must have thought that after he went to Han Pingzhi for help, in order to make his old boss angry, Han Pingzhi would wear small shoes for himself when he arrested the thieves in the northern country, and even after the matter was completed, he would rob himself of his credit.

Zhou Zhou Ming has always thought that his father is a loser in the officialdom, he has been mixed in the officialdom for many years, and he doesn't understand the factional disputes in the court, until this moment he understands that his previous ideas are wrong, his father is politically wise, and the reason why he has not gone further in the officialdom may be because of his own drag.

He didn't plan to clear up his father's misunderstanding immediately, and wanted to give his old man a big surprise.

As for the other people in the courtyard, after hearing the conversation between their father and son, they were all confused, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

Mrs. Zhou even complained about her master in her heart, thinking that her son was talking about the critical moment, why did her master suddenly interrupt him? No matter how curious you are, if there's anything you want to ask, can't you ask later? It's infuriating.

"Daddy, what do you mean by that? I don't understand. Zhou Ming deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Zhou Ruhai sighed and said earnestly: "If you have to understand, you won't suffer." Let me ask you, after you made this decision yesterday, who ended up asking for help? After Han Pingzhi agreed to help you, did he put forward any conditions? ”

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and the people in our yamen, except for me, were all straw bales, so I volunteered to ask for help." Zhou Ming was full of smiles, as if he was very proud of his heroic deeds.
