In the middle of his words, Laifu suddenly stopped, pretending to be heartbroken, trying to win sympathy.

His goal was quickly achieved, and everyone was convinced of his words, and at the same time, they were full of anger at Zhou Ming's unwarranted speculation about Laifu.

The subordinates around Laifu saw that Laifu was injured like this, and they were afraid that they would not be able to save their lives, but as a result, their young master not only had no mercy at all, but poured salt on other people's wounds.

Although Laifu said that he really made a big mistake just now, and he often bullied them and his subordinates, and openly and secretly, he deducted a lot of their wages, but they knew in their hearts that Laifu this kid, no matter how bold he was, he would only do something to them, and as for embezzling the master's money, it was simply impossible, because doing so would take a huge risk.

First of all, a big family like the Zhou family is in charge of money, and every expense is after his master has instructions, the housekeeper goes to the account room to withdraw, how much money is used, how much money is spent, and the account office will not give more than a penny, and where the money is used, his own master also knows it, and it is very difficult to do something in this and embezzle a huge amount of money.

Secondly, if the incident of the east window occurs, if the behavior of embezzling money is known to the master's family, he will be severely beaten, swept out of the house, and never use it, or directly sue the government and let the yamen deal with the matter.

Once this kind of thing gets into trouble with the Yamen, even if the housekeeper doesn't embezzle much money, he will be exiled to the north and die in the end.

And more importantly, once this kind of thing is done and the reputation of corruption is lost, even if the owner is magnanimous and does not pursue it for the sake of the past feelings, but after leaving a reputation for unclean hands and feet, a person like Laifu who is a housekeeper is equivalent to dying in this industry, and it is more difficult for him to find a similar errand than to ascend to the sky.

It is precisely in consideration of the above reasons that when Zhou Zhou Ming questioned Laifu, all the subordinates in the yard, without even thinking about it, believed that Laifu would definitely not do such a thing, after all, this old guy is better than a monkey, and it is impossible to do such a stupid thing and force himself to a dead end.

When Mrs. Zhou saw this situation, she also felt that Zhou Zhou Ming's question was a bit excessive, after all, judging from her past performance, although Laifu had a bad heart, his hands and feet were still clean, because if he really had corruption, his master would have found out a long time ago.

Mrs. Zhou sighed, thinking that her son was still young, and in front of so many people, she suspected that Laifu was embezzling money, which was a taboo thing, after all, if it was proved that Laifu was innocent in this matter, it would be difficult for the matter to end.

At that time, Zhou Ming will not only be charged with a crime of wronging his subordinates, but also may offend all these subordinates in the family, things have really come to this point, after a hundred years of his own master, he wants to be the head of the family, it is also very difficult, after all, once he loses the hearts of the people, it is very difficult to win the trust of these subordinates.

After thinking of these terrible consequences, Mrs. Zhou felt anxious for a while, but in the current situation, she had nothing to do, because she knew her son's temper very well, even if she went out to dissuade him at the moment, it would be useless.

Lin Ajiao grew up in a big family, although she has never been a family, but she has been exposed to it and knows some ways to manage a big family.

When she saw Zhou Zhou Ming in front of so many people, she recklessly suspected Laifu of embezzling the family's money, and she felt very inappropriate, because even if Zhou Zhou Ming had this suspicion in his heart, he should also bring Laifu into a secret room and interrogate him privately, in this way, even if Laifu was proved innocent in the end, the impact on Zhou Yiming would be very small.

Lin Ajiao shook her head, feeling that Zhou Zhou Ming was still too young and vigorous, and he didn't leave any room for himself to do things, this style of acting, if he didn't change, he would definitely suffer a lot of losses outside in the future.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Laifu was very proud, thinking that I had embezzled a lot of money, but the young master dared to suspect me without any evidence, this is self-defeating, with my acting skills and brains, I want me to confess my guilt without evidence, and I want to be beautiful.

Young master, since you are merciless to me at all, then today I will let you see how powerful I am.

Laifu decided in his heart that even if he fought for his life, he would let Zhou Zhou Ming lose face today to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

No matter how insidious his thoughts were, Laifu still pretended to be pitiful on the surface, and even cried with sobs, he ignored everyone's reactions, put aside Zhou Ming, knelt directly on the ground, and cried to his master: "Master, I know that I am guilty, and I also know that I deserve to die, but if I make a mistake once, I can't wipe out all my previous efforts to the Zhou family?"

I am a hand-picked by you, every money from my hand, after use, I will personally report to you, you tell everyone, is the account not right once?

The young master can beat me and scold me, but he must not wronged me for no reason, especially on such a principled issue.

Although I am already old, I am still a man who stands up to the sky, and I can swear to the sky, if I am greedy for a penny in the Zhou family, let me strike five thunders in the sky, and die without a place to be buried! ”

After these impassioned words were finished, everyone present felt indignant, everyone was very dissatisfied with Zhou Ming in their hearts, and the people were even more excited, they all hoped that their master could stand up at this critical moment and administer justice for Laifu, even if he was to be driven out in the end, he could not be wronged.

And they also think that even if their master stands up and administers justice and returns Laifu's innocence, he can't be cheapened Young Master, he must let him publicly apologize to Laifu and taste a little bitterness, otherwise, their subordinates will be sad in the future, after all, if he doesn't teach Zhou Ming a lesson this time, he will suspect that their subordinates are not clean in the future, so they will not live?

After all, most of them are clumsy, they don't have the good eloquence of Laifu, and they are not like Laifu, who have their own master as a backer, once they are wronged by their own young master, they can't wash away their grievances for themselves, and they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were shallow, but after hearing Laifu's words, she was immediately sad and shed tears.

Lin Ajiao has never been deceived by Laifu, she saw that the current situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Zhou Ming, and thought to herself that Laifu was definitely not simple.

She wanted to come forward to help Zhou Ming, but seeing that Zhou Zhou Ming was still calm and unhurried, she immediately understood in her heart that Xiang Gong must be sure of victory, and he must still have evidence that has not been taken out.

Zhou Ruhai just heard that Zhou Ming suspected that the deputy's hands and feet were not clean, and he was very dissatisfied, the reason is very simple, Laifu had always been his most trusted person before, and Zhou Ruhai almost handed over all the major and minor affairs of the family to him, and he was also hand-picked by Zhou Ruhai, such a cronie, he made a mistake just now, Zhou Ruhai has already followed him and embarrassed, if it is proved that his hands and feet are not clean and he embezzled the family's money, then Zhou Ruhai's face will be lost to his grandmother's house.

So no matter what kind of consideration, Zhou Ruhai didn't want Laifu to be convicted.

After listening to Laifu's crying, Zhou Ruhai was a little upset for a while, he first comforted Laifu and said: "Laifu, don't be afraid, don't cry, don't forget, this Zhou family is still in charge of me."

You have been in our house for so many years, what kind of temperament and temperament do you have, I don't understand? Don't worry, I won't let anyone wronged you! ”

Zhou Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes after seeing his father's statement, thinking that his father was really watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, and he had let Laifu embezzle so much money, which was caused by his lax governance of the family and unfavorable employment, but at the moment, as long as he didn't mix it and stayed away, he didn't plan to involve him and let him be embarrassed with Laifu.

But what people never expected was that his old man was actually confused, and he was deceived by Laifu's few words, and stood with Laifu without hesitation.

"Ming'er, stand up and follow me to the study, I have a few important words to tell you." Zhou Ruhai suddenly said with a sinking face.

The people in the courtyard, when they heard their master say this, immediately understood in their hearts that their master wanted to pull the young master into the house and teach him a lesson in private.

The subordinates saw that their master was rare to be tough at a critical moment, and everyone felt very relieved, because this proved that the head of the Zhou family was still an understanding person, even if he was foolish about his son's nonsense, he would never tolerate it.

Mrs. Zhou and Lin Ajiao were worried when they saw this scene, and the two came over at the same time, trying to persuade their master, but before they could open their mouths to plead, they saw Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly stand up, look at his master's eyes, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't be in a hurry to enter the house with you, wait for me to say a few words to Laifu, after speaking, I will accompany you to the end wherever you let me go with you." ”

"You ......" Zhou Ruhai didn't expect that Zhou Zhou Ming dared to openly disobey himself in full view of everyone and not do what he was told, which was tantamount to slapping him in the face on the spot.

He wanted to lose his temper as soon as possible and scolded Zhou Ming, but when he thought of his son's future future, he still suppressed his anger, swallowed his sleeves, turned around, and began to sulk alone.

He thought in his heart, I must not be confused, if I quarrel with my son on this occasion, it will be too embarrassing, and with my son's current strength, even if I want to quarrel, I may not be able to quarrel with him.

After figuring out this truth, he chose to watch coldly, he wanted to see what Zhou Ming was going to say.
