Chapter 275: The Strongman Is Difficult
Later, I saw that Zhou Zhou Ming solved the case of the disappearance of the woman not long after coming to the Yamen, and he himself showed a profound martial arts cultivation, this kind of excellent performance made him a popular figure in the Yamen for a while, and it also made Master Cao look at this young man with admiration, and the disgust for Zhou Ming in his heart also disappeared.
Cao Zhushu is an elderly person, the evening before yesterday, when he left the yamen on a business trip, he saw Zhou Zhou Ming and the yamen in the yamen mixed together, planning to drink, he wanted to go forward to dissuade him, but when he thought that he had nothing to do with Zhou Ming, he was just entrusted by the teacher to take care of him as much as possible in the yamen, and now he is on a bad trip, even if this kid is doing nonsense outside the yamen, it has nothing to do with him, so why should he go over to meddle with things.
After figuring this out, Master Cao turned around in a dashing manner and left the yamen.
When Master Cao came to the yamen on time on the next day, he found that the yamen was deserted, only a few people on night duty were still sticking to their posts, and as for the other people in the yamen, they were all nowhere to be seen.
Master Cao had a question, and when he inquired, he found out that not only did all the officials in the yamen come to the yamen, but even Deng Inspector and Xia Zhutou did not come to the yamen.
Master Cao was a little worried at first, because this kind of abnormal thing rarely happens in the inspection yamen in the south of the city, but after learning that Zhou Zhou Ming didn't come on a business trip, he was relieved all of a sudden.
Because he felt that the reason why these people did not come to the yamen must be because they had drunk too much the night before, so that they could not get up and delayed their official business.
After thinking about this, Master Cao was even a little happy in his heart, because once Deng inspected them and didn't come to the yamen, they would have nothing to do, and they could take a day off in a grand manner.
In order not to tell the truth, he waited in the yamen for another hour, but still did not wait for Deng to inspect them, and then he packed up his things and left the yamen directly to go home.
Before leaving, he also told the people on duty in the yamen that if Deng inspected them and came back, remember to bring him a letter.
But he rested at home for a day, and did not wait for any news from the yamen.
After stealing a day at home, Master Cao didn't mention how happy he was, he thought that because of yesterday's incident, Deng Inspector and Xia Zhutou would definitely be punished by the superior yamen, and they would be punished by the superior yamen, and they would be fined half a year, or they would be dismissed from their posts.
But what he never expected was that after coming to the yamen this morning, he was surprised to find that everything was normal inside the yamen, and even the officials who did not come yesterday did not behave abnormally, but they were full of energy and vitality when they were talking and doing errands.
Out of curiosity, he secretly approached a few young officials and wanted to inquire from them why they didn't come to the yamen yesterday.
As a result, instead of answering his questions, those people turned away from him.
Master Cao has been on an errand in the yamen for many years, so he naturally understands that these people are so tight-lipped because something big happened yesterday, and they can't reveal it to the outside world.
He didn't give up, and finally after many inquiries, he finally learned from a person who had a good relationship with him that they had made great contributions yesterday.
After knowing the ins and outs of the whole thing, Master Cao regretted that he almost hit his head to death, he thought to himself, why is he so stupid, he saw Zhou Ming and them going to drink the night before, why didn't he go with him?
If you go with them, won't you have your share of the credit?
After being annoyed for a while, Master Cao regained his composure, he knew that something had happened, and it was useless to regret it, and now the most important thing was how to make up for his mistakes and find a way as soon as possible to make himself involved with this great achievement.
The first way he thought of was to go to Deng Patrol to spend some money, after all, he had been on an errand for many years under his hands, but he didn't look at his own face, for the sake of money, he should also help himself.
But soon he dispelled this idea, because he knew in his heart that although Inspector Deng was greedy for money, he couldn't be the master of this matter, after all, the hero who made this contribution was Zhou Ming, and Inspector Deng was able to make meritorious contributions, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was also stained with Zhou Ming's light.
After figuring out this truth, Master Cao's thinking was clear, and the only person who could make himself related to this credit was Zhou Yiming.
As a scholar, Master Cao's face is also very thin, if it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't have been able to pull his face down and beg Zhou Ming.
Even if he wanted to ask Zhou Ming to help him, he didn't want too many people to know about it.
He searched inside the yamen, but found no Zhou Ming, and then asked others if Zhou Ming had come to the yamen.
He was overjoyed to learn that Zhou Ming had not yet come on a business trip, and he immediately came to the door of the Yamen, wanting to wait for Zhou Ming to come on a business trip, intercept him halfway, and then take him to a secluded place and tell him his request.
Although his plan was perfect, he waited for a long time and didn't wait for Zhou Ming, and in the process, someone told him that Zhou Ming would not come to Yamen today because he was too tired yesterday.
Knowing this fact, Master Cao was extremely discouraged, he returned to the yamen, and he had no time to work, so he kept his head down and sighed.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a noise in the courtyard of the yamen, so he went out to see what was happening.
When he came to the courtyard, he saw a group of small officials gathered at the gate of the yamen, arguing about something.
Out of curiosity, he asked the little maid passing by, "What are those people yelling about?" ”
The little maid was in a hurry to deliver tea, and when she heard him ask, she had to stop for a while and replied, "It seems that the two messengers who went to invite Lord Zhou had a dispute with those officials, and I don't know exactly why." ”
Hearing the three words of Lord Zhou, Master Cao's eyes widened, he grabbed the little girl's arm, and said excitedly: "The Lord Zhou you are talking about, is it Zhou Ming?" ”
The little maid was frightened, took two steps back, pulled her arm out of his hand, and nodded in horror: "That's right, it's him." ”
Hearing this answer, Master Cao was both happy and remorseful, happy that he was finally able to see Zhou Ming today and told him his request, and regretted that he didn't wait for him for a while?
"Where is Lord Zhou now?" Master Cao hurriedly asked.
The little maid was anxious to get out, so she could only tell the truth and tell him that Zhou Ming was in the house where Deng was inspected.
Master Cao knew that if he rashly went to find Zhou Ming at this time, it would probably arouse the suspicion of Inspector Deng and others, but it was urgent, and he couldn't care about it so much.
He told the little maid: "You help me to report and tell Deng Inspector that I want to see him and have important matters to discuss." ”
The little maid was pestered by him for a long time, and she didn't want to help him with this, but seeing his anxious face, her heart softened again, so she could only nod her head and agree.
Master Cao knew in his heart that after Zhou Ming and they made such a great contribution, he must have been very busy in the past two days, even if he was lucky enough to be able to see Zhou Ming's face, he must get straight to the point and explain his request clearly, and he must not beat around the bush.
It was precisely because he had such thoughts in his heart that after the maid brought him into Inspector Deng's room, he immediately told Inspector Deng that he was here to find Zhou Ming.
Although Master Cao made a lot of determination to come to Zhou Ming to help him, before he came, he had always been a little apprehensive, because he felt that he had no friendship with Zhou Ming, and at this juncture, it was really difficult for him to help him.
In case someone turns their face on the spot and doesn't help themselves, their face will be lost.
What he never expected was that as soon as he said what he meant, Zhou Zhou Ming stood up very politely, said a polite word, and finally invited himself to sit down.
This kind of treatment simply made Master Cao feel a little flattered.
He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhou Ming, and said very humbly: "Lord Zhou, you were tired for a day yesterday, just sit and rest, and I'll just stand." ”
Inspector Deng and Xia Zhutou saw Master Cao's groveling appearance, and immediately guessed his intention, and the faces of the two of them instantly became ugly, thinking that this old thing is really shameless, and he actually started the idea of this merit, and he didn't go home to look in the mirror by himself, is he worthy?
Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction with Master Cao in his heart, for the sake of Zhou Ming's face, Inspector Deng did not show any abnormality, but said very enthusiastically: "Master Cao, if there is anything, you can tell me directly, if I can help, I will help you." ”
The reason why Deng Tong said this was actually a trick to retreat into advance, he knew that Master Cao wanted to go through the back door, and pleaded with Zhou Ming to let him count himself in yesterday's credit, so he deliberately asked Master Cao to say the request in front of so many people.
Xia Dezhang immediately understood Deng Tong's intentions, so he also fanned the flames: "Yes, Master Cao, you are also an old man in our yamen, and you have a relationship with everyone in the yamen, and we are all less qualified than you."
If you have any difficulties, even if you talk to us, even if Master Zhou doesn't have the time and energy to solve the problem for you, I and Deng Patrol will try our best to help you. ”
After Zhou Zhou Ming saw Deng Tong's abnormal behavior, he had some doubts in his heart for a while, thinking that these two people were usually in the yamen, and their eyes were almost on the door of their heads, except for being afraid of me, they hardly put anyone in their eyes, how could they be so polite to Master Cao today? Could it be that these two people have changed their sexuality after what happened yesterday? Becoming good?
This kind of doubt didn't last long in Zhou Ming's heart, because he quickly understood that the reason why Deng Tong and the two of them said this was completely to block Master Cao's mouth, so that he would have a hard time and dare not say anything if he had a request.
