Chapter 216: Single-mindedness

Zhou Ruhai originally had the intention of letting him go, but because of Zhou Ming's face and fear of public anger, he didn't dare to express his position.

He has been thinking repeatedly in his heart about what kind of method he should use, which can not only let him go and let him have a good ending, but also not let Zhou Zhou Ming get angry and anger himself.

Just when he couldn't think of a good way to do it, the situation changed drastically.

Through his superb acting skills, Laifu not only won the support of other people in the courtyard, but even won the sympathy of Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou Ruhai is happy to see this kind of scene, after all, in this case, even if he really lets go of Laifu in the end, the responsibility is not his own at all, even if Zhou Zhou Ming finds himself to settle accounts afterwards, he has a good reason to shirk it, after all, the people's hearts, even if he is the master, it is impossible to go against everyone's wishes and insist on going his own way.

Although the decision in his heart has been tendencied, but the surface work still has to be done, after all, Zhou Ruhai doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, if he is often broken by Zhou Ming in the future because of the blessing, he is already old, and he can't stand it anyway.

He looked at Laifu at his feet, glanced at Mrs. Zhou beside him, and then looked at the people in the courtyard, he pretended to be in a dilemma, frowned, and sighed: "Why are you forcing me like this?" I am also flesh and blood, not hard-hearted, Laifu is by my side, serving me for more than ten years, can I have no feelings for him at all?

But having feelings and letting him go are two different things. He did make a mistake just now, and almost ruined our young master, if I let it go so easily, you are satisfied, but what do you let the young master think?

He will definitely think that my father's behavior is unfair, and when the time comes, our father and son will turn against each other, and you will be happy. ”

Zhou Ruhai's words were ostensibly said to Mrs. Zhou and those subordinates, but in fact, they were meant for Zhou Zhou Ming, and he hoped that after Zhou Zhou Ming heard these words, he would take the initiative to stand up and speak in person, begging for his blessings.

In this way, after he let go of the blessing, he would not have any worries, after all, even if Zhou Zhou Ming figured it out in the future and regretted letting it go, he would have no reason to find trouble for himself, because he let it go, but he personally agreed.

Mrs. Zhou and the people in the courtyard are also not stupid, they are obedient and obedient, and immediately understood the meaning of their master's words, so they all focused on Zhou Ming, hoping to use such pressure to force him to respond quickly, even if he couldn't completely forgive Laifu for a while, even if it was just for him to wait for a while to make a black hand on Laifu, they would be satisfied.

After all, if they put themselves in Zhou Ming's shoes and look at this problem from Zhou Ming's standpoint, they can't easily forgive Laifu if they ask themselves.

It's just that to the great surprise of these people, Zhou Zhou Ming not only did not give in to their pressure, but kept staring at Laifu as if he was nothing, his eyes were full of complicated meanings, as if he was thinking about what kind of vicious means should be used when he cleaned up Laifu later.

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but be very disappointed in him, everyone thought that he was a great general, and he must be broad-minded, but what he didn't expect was that he was so small-bellied, and he actually grasped the mistakes made by a subordinate, and it can be concluded from this alone that even if he is strong, it will be difficult to become a climate in the future.

The disappointment spread among the subordinates, and everyone had a lot of complaints about Zhou Ming in their hearts, but they also understood that he was a very powerful character, so everyone dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and everyone pinned the hope of Laifu to be rescued in the end on their own master, hoping that he could withstand the pressure and help Laifu get through this difficulty.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw Zhou Ming being so indifferent and without any sympathy, and she said to Zhou Ming like a fish in her throat: "Ming'er, why are you ......?"

Mrs. Zhou wanted to say to her son, why are you so hard-hearted, but halfway through the words, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence back, because she suddenly realized that her son is a person who does great things, and he has his own ideas about what he does, and there must be a reason why he can still choose not to let go of the blessing at such a moment in the face of huge pressure.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou realized that she might have done something stupid again under impulse, so she immediately shut up, stepped aside, and said no more.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's reaction, the people in the family were even more disappointed, and a few of them were bold and even began to whisper.

"Why did the old lady hold back? At such a critical moment, either don't make any efforts, or keep pushing to the end, what does it mean to give up halfway like this? ”

"If there is a son, there will be a mother. Both of them have the same small belly chicken intestines, it seems that those of us who are current are not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the master. ”

When the others heard their conversation, they were so frightened that they hurriedly reminded them to shut up, for fear that after these words were heard by Zhou Ming, they would face the same fate as Laifu.

Zhou Ruhai stood in place, he had already made all the preparations, as long as Zhou Zhou Ming stood up and made a statement, he could push the boat down the river and directly open his mouth to forgive Laifu, but what he didn't expect, Zhou Zhou Ming actually did things so desperately, and didn't give himself a chance to use it.

Zhou Zhou Ming didn't say anything, even if Zhou Ruhai wanted to let go of the blessing in his heart, he wouldn't dare to do it, after all, Zhou Zhou Ming was the only victim of this matter, except for him, no one was qualified to let go of the blessing, even the head of the family.

He lowered his head helplessly, looked at Laifu who was full of expectations for himself, and said bitterly: "Laifu, it's not my ruthlessness as a master, it's what you did just now, and you really can't be forgiven."

To be honest, I can't bear to see you fall to today's result, but the family has family rules, the country has national laws, and if you are not punished, it is difficult for the people to be angry. ”

Hearing his master say this, Laifu understood in his heart that it was not so easy to escape this difficulty easily, he had to pay a little more blood, fight to the death, and maybe have a glimmer of life.

"Master, you don't have to be sad, I deserve it." Laifu suddenly said with a serious face, "Since neither you nor the young master can forgive me, anyway, whether I am swept out of the house or fall into the hands of the young master, I am a dead end, rather than this, it is better to let me die in front of you, master, so that I can die without regrets." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, Laifu used the last strength of his body to slam his head desperately on the ground, only knocking once, and the whole head was bleeding.

In fact, when Laifu knocked on the ground, he had accurately controlled the force, although this injury looked scary, but in fact, it was only a little bit of skin, even if it was not treated, the wound could heal naturally.

This sudden scene frightened all the people in the courtyard, and those subordinates couldn't care about so many courtesies at this time, and all gathered around, standing beside Laifu, nervously checking his injuries.

Mrs. Zhou was startled and almost fell to the ground, she glanced at Zhou Ming, and saw that his face was still indifferent, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that her son was really a hard-hearted person? Everyone chose to commit suicide to thank the world, but he was still indifferent.

Mrs. Zhou thought to herself, Laifu did make a mistake just now, but he didn't deserve death, and his son was so hard-hearted, it really made people shudder.

When he thought that he would be old and frail in the future, and he would have to rely on Zhou Ming to take care of him, if he was so indifferent to himself, what would he do?

"Come on, stop the bleeding for Laifu." Zhou Ruhai also panicked, on the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to treat Laifu's wounds immediately, and on the other hand, he looked at Zhou Ming angrily, "Ming'er, are you really trying to force people to death?" Rifle watched you grow up, although he made a mistake just now, but you are so unforgiving, it's too much, right?

If Laifu really dies, once the matter spreads outside, people will not say that he deserves it, but will laugh at you for being small-bellied, and he will be so mean to his own subordinates that he will be forced to die. ”

Zhou Ruhai deliberately made the matter so serious, wanting to scare Zhou Ming in terms of momentum and force him to comply.

However, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't mean to be scared at all, but showed a smile on his face, he slowly walked towards Laifu, separated the crowd around him, and then squatted on the ground, looked into his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, Laifu, I've seen your acting skills, now let's talk about some serious things."

You honestly confess, you have been a housekeeper in my house for so many years, how much money have you hacked our family? ”

Zhou Ruhai and the people around him all looked at Zhou Ming dumbfounded, and everyone didn't understand what he meant by saying these words at this time.

Laifu's face was covered with blood, he was immersed in the role of his victim, unable to extricate himself, and suddenly heard Zhou Zhou Ming question himself like this, he panicked in his heart, and was extremely scared.

Ignoring the injury on his head and the pain in his ankle, he immediately opened his eyes, pretended to be pitiful, and said in a humble tone: "Young Master, if you want to kill me, I have no complaints, after all, I hurt you like that just now, and I died in your hands, and I deserved it."

But you can't wronged me like this, I have been conscientious in the Zhou family, and every account from my hand is clear. ”
