After understanding the meaning of Zhou Ming's words, the two strong subordinates all smiled and said, "Young Master, what are you talking about?" Even if the two of us ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, we wouldn't dare to laugh with you.

That old pig and dog are lying on their stomachs at the gate, don't believe you! ”

As they spoke, the two men turned their heads very confidently and looked at the gate, and then they opened their mouths wide and froze in place.

The ground at the gate was empty, and the gate of the courtyard was open, and this scene said it all, and Laifu, the old pig and dog, must have slipped away without knowing it while they were about to be rewarded.

The two subordinates looked at each other, and they couldn't believe their eyes, because the two of them knew best in their hearts that when they beat Laifu just now, they were ruthless, not to mention that Laifu is now old, and his body bones are already very poor, even if a young man in his twenties is beaten up like the two of them, he will definitely not be able to stand up.

The two subordinates were thinking in their hearts, this is really the hell, this old boy was obviously dying just now, and he had only one breath left, how could he still escape in this situation? It stands to reason that with his physical condition, he can't even stand up, how can he escape?

The eyes of the two people lit up at the same time, and they thought of the same possibility, could it be that someone in the courtyard helped him escape?

After thinking of this possibility, the two of them invariably broke out in a cold sweat, because they knew that once this kind of thing happened, the consequences would be very terrible, because it proved that in addition to Laifu, the Zhou family also had his dead friend, even if the culprit escaped, if this dead friend was not eliminated, the Zhou family would never have peace in the future.

After all, no one knows the identity of this sworn friend, and if he takes advantage of others and wants to sabotage, it will be too easy.

And once this person commits sabotage, hides it, does not reveal his identity, and even frames others to blame him, then everyone in the Zhou family will be in danger, because just to prove their innocence, they may exhaust their mental strength.

However, this idea only existed in the hearts of the two of them for a moment, and then they dispelled this idea, because what Laifu did in the Zhou family, the two of them knew it very well, this old boy usually relied on the title of housekeeper, and he was used to shouting and drinking, and he had always had no one in his eyes, so the popularity was very poor, and the people of the Zhou family only had dealings with him for the purpose of official business, and everyone was not even willing to talk to him in private.

With such a bad popularity, the probability of having a dead friend is equal to zero, even if there is, at such a critical moment, people will not come forward to save him, after all, saving him is tantamount to self-destruction of the future, and in the end it can only be destroyed with him, but anyone with a brain will not make such a stupid choice.

Considering this, the two people believe that there is only one possibility that Laifu disappeared, and that is that he crawled and escaped by himself with strong willpower.

While blaming themselves in their hearts, these two subordinates scolded Laifu, thinking that this old pig and dog was simply a harmful spirit, he almost killed the young master just now, and now he came to harm them again, this old thing had better not be caught, otherwise he would definitely be dismantled.

At the same time, the two subordinates also knew that the situation they were facing was very dangerous, after all, they were too careless when they spoke just now, and they didn't confirm that Laifu was not there, so they were cheeky and boasted in front of their own young master, if their own young master was aware of everything and believed their explanation for a while, they would at most be complained by other subordinates, and they would just lose face on the spot, once their young master did not believe their explanation, and even suspected that they deliberately deceived themselves, Then the two of them won't be able to eat and walk away.

Because just now the other subordinates saw the two of them and said that they had caught Laifu, and they were very jealous of the merits they had made, but now they saw that they did not get the credit, but because of the Laifu matter, they angered the young master, and these people naturally did not come out to say good things for them, and even fell into the well, causing them to die.

At that time, even if the young master is kind-hearted and wants to let them go, he will have more than enough strength to do it, because if a bowl of water is not even, the other subordinates of the Zhou family will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the young master to deal with the anger of the public.

After thinking of these terrible results, the two subordinates trembled with fright, because they knew too well in their hearts that if they didn't handle the current situation well, the two of them might be the same as Laifu, not only would they be severely punished, but they would also be swept away by the Zhou family in the end.

With the lessons of Laifu in front of them, these two subordinates knew that it was useless to play tricks in front of Zhou Ming, after all, even the thieves of the Northern Kingdom could not escape the eyes of their young master, and the two of them were nobodies, and it was even more impossible for them to have that ability.

There is only one way in front of the two of them, that is, to obediently admit their mistakes and explain what happened just now.

The two of them knelt on the ground with a thud, weeping bitterly, and confessing their mistakes and explaining: "Young master, Laifu, this old pig and dog, must have sneaked away while we were asking you for a reward."

You must believe us, even if we have ten guts, we will not dare to lie in front of you. ”

Zhou Ming's face sank like water, and he never spoke, he was not angry with these two people, because he knew in his heart that these two people really didn't have the courage to lie to himself, he was just thinking about where this old thing would flee.

Seeing that these two subordinates appeared in front of Zhou Ming, the other subordinates said proudly:

"Now this person, his skin is getting thicker and thicker, and he can be said to be alive if he is dead, if I had this ability, I would definitely have been promoted a long time ago."

"Who says it's not, this is called a crying child who has meat to eat, we are clumsy, we can only do some rough work, as for meritorious service, don't even think about it."

"Alas, according to me, it's okay not to make meritorious service, after all, this kind of thing is a double-edged sword, if you really have that ability, you will receive awards for meritorious service, and we can't say a word about it.

I'm afraid of half-hanging, obviously I don't have that ability, I want to do that porcelain work, and in the end, the chickens and eggs are beaten, and I don't catch anything, but I just lose my face, do you say that people are angry? ”

After several ridicules from everyone, the two subordinates who lied about the military situation knelt on the ground and hurriedly lowered their heads, their faces red and white, and the shame made them worse than dead.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Ming felt that if what the two subordinates said was true, if Laifu was injured, he would definitely not be able to run far, and if he went out to chase him now, he would have a great chance of catching him back.

Seeing that the subordinates in the family began to say cool things, ridiculing the two strong subordinates, Zhou Zhou Ming understood in his heart that once this kind of atmosphere was formed in the family, the family would gradually drift away from morality, and it would be difficult to unite again, so he must strangle this atmosphere in the cradle: "People who do things will definitely have a high probability of making mistakes, but this is by no means a reason for people who have nothing to do to attack them, you have time to say these cool words, it is better to hurry up and catch up with Laifu."

This old boy is seriously injured and will not be able to run far, and if you do your best, there is a good chance that you will be able to get him back.

And I have an important word to tell you, let me hear you say such cool things in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless on Monday. ”

Those people who said cool things were being proud there, and they were suddenly taught a hard lesson by Zhou Ming, they didn't understand why Zhou Ming was angry for the first time, and after understanding Zhou Ming's meaning, they were all trembling with fright, and they didn't dare to make similar mistakes again.

Zhou Ruhai is a scholar, before he was the head of the family, he was not strict with the management of the subordinates in the family, but after hearing those cool words, he also felt that it was unseemly, and he thought that he should get rid of the stinky problems of these subordinates as soon as possible, otherwise he would suffer endlessly.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to teach those subordinates a lesson, Zhou Zhou Ming preempted him and finished what he wanted to do, which did not make him feel a sense of loss that heroes were useless, but felt very relieved, feeling that his son had grown up, and he would be very relieved that he would be given the position of head of the family to him in the future.

Zhou Zhou Ming was very satisfied with the reaction of those subordinates, he smiled, went straight to the gate, and said to the subordinates as he walked: "Now is not the time to admit your mistakes and beg for mercy, everyone come with me, that old guy must still be nearby, everyone search carefully, and you will definitely be able to find him." ”

After hearing Zhou Zhou Ming say this, all the people in the family rushed out, followed Zhou Zhou Ming out of the door, and then without waiting for his orders, everyone dispersed and began to look for the figure of Laifu on the street.

Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou saw that the family had gone out to find someone, and the two of them also wanted to join in the fun and go out, but were stopped by Lin Ajiao.

"Dad, mother, you two are old, don't go out, you can leave the matter of arresting people to Xianggong, such a vicious thief from the north can't escape from the palm of his hand, how can he fight him with just a blessing." Lin Ajiao said proudly while laughing.

Zhou Ruhai nodded and did not speak.

Mrs. Zhou smiled happily, and when she saw Lin Ajiao calling Zhou Ming Xianggong again, she knew in her heart that the little couple had finally reconciled: "Listen to you, we are here waiting for Ming'er's good news, don't go out, stay here with us." ”

Lin Ajiao's face was embarrassed, because after she stopped her in-laws just now, she planned to go out to help Zhou Ming, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law had to keep herself, which made her very helpless, but she was embarrassed to refute her mother-in-law's face, so she could only stand obediently in place, holding her mother-in-law's hand, and her eyes were always looking at the direction of the door, hoping that Zhou Zhou Ming could catch Laifu as soon as possible, after all, this old bastard made a mess of Zhou's mansion, and if he didn't let him pay a little price, it would be too cheap for him.

Zhou Ruhai looked up at the sky and found that it was completely dark, so he ordered someone to take charge of the lamp.
