Seeing that their master entered the study, these people in the courtyard suddenly thought that Laifu had lost his protective umbrella, and they thought that their young master was on their side, so they were fearless for a while, and rushed up one after another and scolded Laifu.

"You old thing, I didn't expect to be so greedy, you usually defraud us of our money, even your master's money you dare to embezzle, you really think you have a long life."

"Old pig dog, give me back the money you took from me before, or I'll kill you."

"I didn't expect you to have today, it's really a good reincarnation in heaven, who will be spared by the sky!"

The more people talked, the more angry they became, and some even planned to take action and beat them up in the future to eliminate the hatred in their hearts.

After his master left, Laifu's heart was completely cold, because he knew that in this family, the only person who had a good relationship with him and had feelings was his own master, and if he didn't care about himself, he could only be a dead end.

Frustrated, he didn't say a word in the face of the people who were looking for him to settle accounts, he just hugged his head and protected his face, he only hoped that those who beat him would make him suffer a little less and leave this world.

"Everyone, stop," Zhou Ming suddenly spoke, stopping the angry subordinates.

"Young master, this old guy has hurt you so badly, why are you still speaking for him?"

"You just let us beat him to death, as the so-called law does not blame the public, even if the government investigates it in the future, there is no way to take us, and it will not affect you, young master."

"Young master, as long as you say a word, we will do everything for you!"

Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly, thinking that you are now angry, when Laifu cried and wiped his tears just now, it seemed that you were full of infinite sympathy for him.

He stood up and said to his subordinates very patiently, "Do not mess around! You also know, young master, I am now on an errand in the yamen, and I am also a popular figure in the yamen, I am a law enforcer myself, if I know the law and break the law, will I spread the word?

And mixing in officialdom is not as simple as you think, you must always beware of others stumbling on you, so when you usually do things, you must be very cautious and careful, and you can't leave a handle for your opponent to attack you. ”

A group of subordinates suddenly realized, it turned out that Zhou Ming stopped them, there were so many doorways, although they didn't understand those truths very well, but for the sake of their young master, they still obediently retreated to the side, not daring to make any more mistakes.

Laifu, who had closed his eyes and was waiting for death, really didn't expect that at the last critical moment, it was Zhou Zhou Ming who saved his life.

While he was moved, he was also wondering, why did Zhou Ming save himself? What he said just now, Laifu also thought about it, although it made sense on the surface, but in fact, it was just to fool those subordinates, because an official like Zhou Zhou Ming, as long as he wanted, could pinch and kill someone like Laifu anytime and anywhere without any punishment.

After all, Laifu was originally a subordinate, and now it has been proven that he has made a very big mistake, if Zhou Ming wants to kill the killer, there are countless ways to escape the responsibility of the imperial court.

Laifu slowly took away the hands that were protecting his head, looked at Zhou Ming timidly, and found that he was also staring at himself, Laifu hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said with a touched face: "Young master, thank you for your grace of not killing, I did such an excessive thing to you before, but I didn't expect that at the moment of life and death, it was you who saved me."

I will never forget your great kindness in my life. ”

Laifu's ghost mind came again, he wanted to elevate Zhou Ming's personality through this way of wearing a high hat, so that he would be embarrassed to kill himself in this situation.

His little trick, not to mention Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao, can't even deceive those subordinates standing on the side.

These subordinates are very worried in their hearts, afraid that the young master will be like his own master, in front of the cunning Laifu, defeated.

But obviously, their worries were superfluous, Zhou Zhou Ming stretched out a hand to stop Laifu from talking further, and said with a smile: "Laifu, I have to admire you, your brain is really fast, as long as there is an opportunity, you can see the needle and maximize your own interests."

You say you have such a skill, why do you have to do all this stealing things? Wouldn't it be nice to have a career with me? ”

Laifu originally thought that his crimes had been exposed, and the best outcome was to save his life, but after hearing Zhou Ming's words, he suddenly became happy, thinking that Zhou Zhou Ming was just going to take his own talent and use it for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited, because he knew very well in his heart that if Zhou Zhou Ming really had this idea, not only would he not be punished, but he would even have the opportunity to soar, and if things really turned out like this, all the suffering he suffered today would be worth it.

"Thank you, young master, for your appreciation! Young master, don't worry, as long as you can open the net and let the old slave go, I will swear to follow you to the death, saddle the horse for you, bow to the end, and die. Laifu pressed the ecstasy in his heart and pretended to be moved.

His words frightened everyone present.

Those subordinates gathered around Zhou Ming, wanting to tell him that he must not let go of this bastard.

Because these people all know in their hearts that if Laifu escapes today's difficulties, once he makes a comeback in the future, the first ones who are unlucky will be these poor people.

Because today, when Laifu was in trouble, not only did they not intercede for him, but because of their previous grievances, they fell into a hole for him, a traitor like Laifu will take revenge, once he regains power one day, if he wants to poison these lowly subordinates, they are powerless to resist at all, and can only be slaughtered.

"Young master, Laifu, this evil thief, has done so many bad things, and almost hurt you, you must not let him go."

"That's right, young master, this person is not right, if you fancy his little cleverness, if you use him as a person, you will definitely bring great trouble to yourself.

Because he is a repetitive villain, as long as there is a little interest, he will betray you. ”

The people below expressed their worries one after another, trying to prevent Zhou Ming from letting go of the blessing.

Laifu was angry in his heart, and said that you people are really too insidious, Lao Tzu just deducted some of your wages before, and today you want to kill me.

You'd better not let me turn over one day, or I'll make you desperate for life, and you can't die.

Although he found ruthlessness in his heart, Laifu also knew in his heart that he had to do something at this time, and he couldn't let Zhou Ming listen to those people's nonsense.

"Young master, don't listen to their nonsense, the mistakes I made before were all because I was too young to resist the temptation, but now it's different, I'm older, and I've got rid of my previous problems.

As for what I did to be sorry for you just now, I am guilty, but you can rest assured, as long as I have the opportunity to follow you, I will definitely make meritorious contributions to repay you for your kindness to me. ”

Laifu's words are not leaky, if he meets ordinary people, he may really have hope of success, but he is facing Zhou Zhouming, which can only be regarded as his bad luck.

Those subordinates in the courtyard were afraid that Zhou Zhou Ming would continue to be coaxed by Laifu, and when they just wanted to persuade Zhou Yiming, they saw him slowly raise his hand to stop them from speaking, and then looked at Laifu with a smile on his face, and said:

"Laifu, it's too early for you to be happy, right? Did I say I'll let you go? Did I say I was going to use you as a person? Didn't you?

I hope you don't make a mistake, or you'll just be sad.

The reason why I stopped them from beating you just now is because I still have a very important question to ask you, and in essence, I don't care at all whether you are dead or alive. ”

When the subordinates heard Zhou Ming say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was thinking in their hearts, it seems that to do big things and preside over the overall situation at home, it has to be their own young master who can be relied on.

After dispelling the doubts in their hearts, these subordinates all retreated to the side, blocking Laifu's escape route, for fear that after the old boy knew that he could not escape death, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.

After learning Zhou Ming's true thoughts, Laifu was completely desperate, he sat on the ground, his face was not bloody, and his eyes were even more hollow, as if death had come in advance, and his soul had already been taken away.

Lin Ajiao, who was standing on the side, had been a little worried before, afraid that Zhou Zhou Ming would let go of this thief because of cherishing talents.

She knew very well in her heart that even if Zhou Zhou Ming let him go today, it would be very difficult for him to contribute to himself in the future.

After all, this old thing is too bad to be trusted.

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Lin Ajiao realized that her previous worries were all superfluous, and Zhou Zhou Ming said that she admired Laifu, but she was just playing tricks on this old thing.

"I'm here to ask you," Zhou Zhou Ming looked at Laifu and suddenly said with a serious face, "From the beginning to the present, how much money have you been greedy for my family?" Where are all the stolen money hidden, and where are the silver tickets? ”

Laifu was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was useless to deny, so he could only tell the truth: "From the beginning of being greedy to the present, I don't know how much money I have embezzled, and the specific amount." ”

"When death is on the verge of death, it's not honest, you have to take a few punches to tell the truth, right?"

The subordinates on the side all thought that Laifu was playing tricks and did not honestly confess his crimes, so many people rushed around him, intending to give him a little color.

But this time they were wronged, in fact, he really didn't remember how much money he embezzled, because as soon as he got the money, he put it in the bank, and after getting the silver ticket back, he hid it all in the most secret place, in order to prevent being discovered, he didn't even dare to take it out and count it, it was for this reason that after a long time, he also forgot the specific amount of those money.
