Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong didn't expect that Zhou Zhou Ming would dare to blatantly tell this secret in front of the two of them, knowing that if this matter was leaked by the two of them, Zhou Ming would definitely be in trouble.

After all, if he just deceived Han Pingzhi, Zhou Ming didn't have to care at all, because the friendship between him and Han Pingzhi was very good, even if Han Pingzhi found out about the strange things in the future, he would not make a noise, and he might even cover up this matter for Zhou Ming in private.

But once Zhou Zhou Ming added Lao Cao's name to the list of meritorious personnel, it was not just Han Pingzhi who was deceived, because this case was personally supervised by the current emperor, and Zhou Zhou Ming did this, which was tantamount to deceiving the emperor together.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong didn't understand for the first time why Zhou Zhou Ming had the courage to tell the two of them such an important secret directly, but soon the two of them thought about it and figured it out, both of them thought that the reason why Zhou Zhou Ming did this was to let them know that he treated them as his own, so in front of them, he didn't keep any secrets.

On the other hand, he wanted to use this incident to tie the two people firmly to his ship, so that they would not dare to have two hearts, because once they knew the secret, they would be equivalent to accomplices, even if they had the courage to go out and tell the truth and reveal this matter, after the East Window incident, they would not escape the fate of being punished.

After the two of them realized this, their hearts were cold, they glanced at each other, and muttered to themselves, Zhou Ming's move is really ruthless, it is simply murderous, even if the two of them have different intentions in the future and want to betray Zhou Ming, there is no way back.

After the two of them completely figured out Zhou Ming's intentions, they suddenly wilted, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.

They bowed and replied cautiously, "Yes, Lord Zhou, we understand, we will never talk nonsense after we go out, and we will keep this secret for you." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly and said: "You two may be mistaken, this is not a secret for me alone, if this matter is leaked, the heads of the two of you will not be able to be saved." ”

After Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong listened to Zhou Ming's words, the expressions on their faces were uglier than crying, and the two of them nodded, and said without tears: "I understand my humble position." ”

The two of them were frightened and in a trance, so when they replied, they forgot that Zhou Zhouming's official position was even lower than theirs, so much so that they used their humble position as a self-proclaim.

By the time the two of them reacted, the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back.

Zhou Zhou Ming noticed this detail, but he didn't get carried away, so he hurriedly reminded the two of them: "Now that you two are in front of me, it's still a bit early to call yourself by this title."

The family has family rules, the state has national laws, and the court has the rules of the court, in the future, you two must pay attention in public, and you must not violate the etiquette and laws of the court, otherwise I won't say it, if you two get into a big disaster because of this, even if I want to save you, I can't do anything. ”

Xia Dezhang and Deng informed that they had made a low-level mistake, so after being taught a lesson by Zhou Ming, they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and they didn't dare to say a word, but they were still muttering in their hearts, Zhou Ming's methods were really clever and rigorous, even if it was such a small mistake, he held on to it, you can imagine how sad the two of us will be in the future.

After Zhou Zhou Ming finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for them to hurry out and prepare the carriage.

After seeing Zhou Ming's gesture, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the two of them didn't dare to slack off, so they quickly turned around and went out to prepare the carriage.

Zhou Zhou Ming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip very leisurely, thinking that the feeling of being a leader is really very good, especially the feeling of training people, it is simply unstoppable, very top-notch.

After a while, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong hurriedly walked in from outside, and the two of them informed Zhou Ming that the carriage was ready.

Zhou Ming briefly tidied up his clothes, and then followed the two of them to the outside of the house.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong walked in front, not daring to slack off at all, they respectfully led Zhou Ming to the south of the city to inspect the gate of the yamen.

Outside the gate, there are two carriages parked, the one in front of it is a very ordinary style, the curtains and curtains on the carriage are made of coarse cloth, and there is no flower and bird pattern, only a single color.

And a carriage parked in the back is extremely luxurious, this car is not only much larger than the one in front, but also its workmanship, the materials are exquisite, every piece of wood, is the best pear blossom wood, the curtains on the car are silk brocade.

Although Zhou Zhou Ming was born in a big family since he was a child, he was used to living a hard life, and he hated extravagance and waste the most in his life, so after seeing the luxurious carriage, he immediately became disgusted, and felt that this must be for the envoy sent by Han Pingzhi to sit, he frowned, turned back to Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong and said: "You two accompany the envoy to sit in the car in the back, and I will sit in the front car alone." ”

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were confused, the two of them glanced at each other, then turned their heads, looked at Zhou Ming, and said blankly: "Lord Zhou, who is the envoy you are talking about?" ”

Seeing the two of them asking knowingly, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately showed displeasure, thinking that you two are still playing dumb riddles with me? In addition to the envoy sent by Han Pingzhi, which other envoy is there in our yamen?

He looked at the two of them with bad intentions, and his face gradually became solemn: "What you two put on the top of your neck, are they human brains or dog brains?" As soon as I came, you told me that Lord Han sent someone to inform us to go, and the person he sent was not equivalent to the status of a special envoy in our yamen? Such a simple matter, I have to break it and crush it, can I tell you so much? ”

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong suddenly realized that the envoy mentioned by Zhou Zhou Ming was referring to this.

The two of them hurriedly smiled and explained unconventionally: "Lord Zhou, we understand what you mean.

It's just that the envoy just now, after learning that we were about to leave for the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, he had already left first, saying that he wanted to go back first, so that Lord Han could prepare to welcome us. ”

"Oh." Zhou Ming nodded, "I see, then you two will take this carriage!" ”

After Zhou Zhou Ming finished speaking, without waiting for the two of them to react, he turned around and walked towards the carriage in front of him.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong glanced at each other, both of them secretly complained in their hearts, and said that this carriage was specially prepared by us for Zhou Ming, if he didn't want to sit, things would be troublesome, after all, in a place like the Chengnan Patrol Yamen, even if Deng Tong was the number one, sitting in such a luxurious carriage could also be said to be a kind of trespassing, if he walked on the road and was discovered by the law enforcers, it was likely to cause trouble.

"What should I do?" Deng Tong put on a stinky face and asked Xia Dezhang in a low voice.

Originally, Deng Tong didn't plan to use this way to shoot Zhou Ming's ass, but Xia Dezhang disagreed, he swore to Deng Tong that although Zhou Zhou Ming usually behaves seriously and cautiously, people are inferior, as long as they shoot the sycophants in place, even if Zhou Zhou Ming doesn't say it, he will definitely be very useful in his heart.

It was precisely because of listening to Xia Dezhang's nonsense that Deng Tong sent someone to get such a luxurious carriage, and now it turned out to be good, Zhou Zhou Ming not only did not express his gratitude to them for their kindness, but resolutely did not take this car.

Xia Dezhang didn't expect that things would get to such a point, he knew that if this matter was messed up, even if Zhou Zhou Ming didn't make trouble for himself afterwards, Deng Tong would not let him go.

So even if it's hard-headed, he has to solve this problem.

Seeing that Zhou Ming walked towards the carriage in front of him without looking back, Xia Dezhang wiped the cold sweat on his head and hurriedly chased after him, he didn't dare to stop Zhou Ming directly, so he could only accompany the smiling face and persuade: "Lord Zhou, don't be difficult for us."

What is your current status? Can you ride in such a shabby carriage? The carriage in the back was found for you by me and Inspector Deng with a lot of effort, and it is in line with your status.

If you sit with him and go to the yamen of the General Affairs Office, you will definitely be impressed. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming didn't pay attention to his rhetoric at all, he jumped lightly on the carriage, and had already sat in the ordinary carriage, looking at Xia Dezhang who was still standing on the ground, he said mercilessly: "Xia Zhutou, you and I are on an errand in the same yamen, and it is not a day or two to deal with each other."

For the sake of your and my past feelings, today I will tell you a sentence from my heart, which is impressive, relying on strength and ability, not those bells and whistles outside the body.

I won't sit in that carriage, so if you really want to use it, you can sit on it yourself. ”

After saying this, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly ordered the coachman to drive away.

Watching the carriage leave quickly, Xia Dezhang, who was reprimanded by Zhou Ming and was speechless, stood in place for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, because he suddenly felt that what Zhou Zhou Ming said just now was too right.

Seeing this situation, several officials standing at the door couldn't help but laugh in their hearts, they all felt that Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were taught such a lesson, and they all asked for it.

Deng Tong came over at this time and said to Xia Dezhang, who had nothing to love: "How is it?" I'm right before, your low-level sycophant method is useless to us Lord Zhou, so you're cocooning yourself, right?

Lord Zhou is already angry, I see how you end up this time! Oh, by the way, and this carriage, what are you going to do with it? Don't forget, it was all my money to buy this carriage. ”
