Deng Tong's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly saw the hope of life, he was constantly thinking in his heart, even if the surname Han didn't care about the friendship with Zhou Ming, even if it was for the sake of his own future, it was impossible for him to debunk his conspiracy with Xia Dezhang, after all, if he did that, it would be tantamount to not giving Zhou Ming face, once the two of them turned against each other, the surname Han wanted to climb up by relying on the Northern State spy case, it would not be so easy, because in the final analysis, the biggest hero of this case was Zhou Zhou Ming, if he didn't approve of it, Even if the surname Han has great ability, if he wants to take all the credit for this case on himself, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

After figuring this out, Deng Tong was overjoyed, he smiled and patted Xia Dezhang on the shoulder with his hands, and gave full affirmation to what he just said: "Old Xia, I didn't see it, you kid really has some ability, the method you just said, I thought about it carefully, maybe it really works."

Lord Han is now asking for our Lord Zhou in order to be promoted and make a fortune, so whether it is for the sake of our Lord Zhou's face or for his own future, it is really at a critical moment, even if he knows that we are lying, he can only eat Coptis dumbly and admit his bad luck. ”

Xia Dezhang smiled triumphantly: "Inspector Deng, I still have a lot of advantages, but you are usually busy with work, so you don't have the opportunity to explore it at all."

After getting through this difficulty, I hope that in the future, Inspector Deng will take care of me more in the yamen, and in front of Lord Zhou, he will also say a few more kind words for me, so that it will not be in vain for me to give advice to adults now. ”

After Deng Tong understood Xia Dezhang's plan, he had been immersed in joy, but when he heard Xia Dezhang say such a strange thing, the joy in his heart disappeared by half, replaced by suspicion and anger.

Although Deng Tong is a big man and doesn't have any city government in his heart, his vision of seeing people is still very accurate, otherwise without this ability, he would not be able to sit in the position of the top of the inspection yamen in the south of the city.

He has worked with Xia Dezhang for many years, although the two have always been in a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but from Xia Dezhang's conversation on weekdays, he has found that this kid is extremely ambitious, he is respectful to himself on the surface, but in fact, he has always wanted to snatch his position behind his back.

It is precisely because they know that Xia Dezhang is insidious, so the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, until Zhou Zhou Ming came to the yamen, and the two of them have never been able to distinguish the winner or loser.

The reason why Deng Tong did not completely defeat Xia Dezhang in the struggle was not actually a problem of his ability, but that he had always had scruples, he didn't know what forces were behind Xia Dezhang, if he recklessly put the enemy to death without figuring out the origin of the enemy, this would not only not completely solve the trouble he was facing, but would put himself in a more dangerous situation.

Deng Tong has been in the court for so many years, and he still understands this simple truth.

He had already planned that once he figured out the forces behind Xia Dezhang, he would not hesitate to send this person to Western Elysium.

Originally, his plan was going very smoothly, and even his work to investigate the forces behind Xia Dezhang already had an eyebrow, but Zhou Ming's sudden arrival disrupted his plan.

Zhou Ming through his own efforts, after cracking two major cases in a row, he is now the actual leader of the Chengnan Patrol Yamen, he said one, no one dares to say two, in this situation, even if Deng Tong finally finds out the origin of Xia Dezhang, it is impossible to be ruthless to him.

After all, Zhou Ming's heart is bright, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, if he does something to exclude dissidents under his hands, once he finds out the truth, he will definitely be unable to escape death.

The reason for this is very simple, on the one hand, although Zhou Zhou Ming has superior strength and great reputation, he is already a unique existence in the yamen, but his rights and prestige have not been officially recognized, which makes his identity as a leader unjustifiable.

And the biggest obstacle to his current orders is that he is the nominal number one, he obeys his words, and may be able to save his life, if he has a little objection to him, or if he causes trouble, he will definitely get rid of himself as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Deng Tong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking that fortunately I am an old Jianghu, and I understand these rules and regulations in the officialdom, otherwise if I rashly take action against Xia Dezhang at this time, it will be equivalent to directly handing Zhou Ming a knife, so that he has a perfect excuse to kill himself.

Deng Tong turned his head and glanced at Xia Dezhang's annoying face, thinking that you kid is too shrewd, originally the two of us competed under Zhou Ming, and you had an innate advantage, in order to get rid of me as soon as possible, Zhou Ming suppressed me everywhere, and in turn raised you, in this situation, you also asked me to say a few kind words for you, you really think I am a fool?

Although he hated Xia Dezhang in his heart, Deng Tong also understood that now was the critical moment, not the time to settle accounts with him, so he could only pretend to be smiling and admitted: "This is natural, as long as we two brothers can get through this difficulty, let alone say a few good words for you, even if it is to make it clear to the superior yamen and give you my position as a patrol." ”

Xia Dezhang snorted coldly, showed a meaningful smile, and said in his heart Let me be an inspector at this time? Didn't that roast me on the fire? Zhou Zhou Ming is now saying everything in the yamen, the inspection is not even a fart in front of him, and he has to be cleaned up all day long, such a drudgery is still left to you.

After the carriage traveled some distance, it gradually caught up with Zhou Ming's carriage.

Xia Dezhang poked half his head out of the window, and after seeing Zhou Ming's carriage, he was overjoyed and hurriedly told Deng Tong the good news.

Deng Tong stood up excitedly, looked outside, and after confirming that Xia Dezhang's words were true, he immediately shouted to the coachman: "Speed up, keep up with the carriage in front, don't lose it again, otherwise Uncle Ben won't be able to spare you." ”

The coachman was frightened, hurriedly raised his whip and whipped the horse pulling the cart a few times.

The carriage accelerated instantly, and a huge force almost knocked Deng Tong standing in the carriage to the ground.

Deng Tong cursed a few swear words, quickly sat down, and after a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly found the problem.

Although the way Xia Dezhang thought of getting out of trouble just now was good, there was a difficult problem that he couldn't solve with this method, and this problem was that if they only took the carriage they were sitting in once, they would not be able to deal with it when they arrived at the yamen of the General Affairs Office.

When the time comes, you can't just throw this carriage at the door of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, right?

After thinking of this, Deng Tong had just regained his calm mood, and immediately became chaotic again, and he hurriedly said to Xia Dezhang: "Old Xia, there is a loophole in the method you just thought, if this loophole is not filled, you and I will still be in big trouble." ”

Xia Dezhang thought that all the troubles had been dealt with, so he was in a good mood, and after hearing Deng Tong say this, he frowned and said in a very skeptical tone: "Deng Inspection, are you too sensitive?" The solution I just thought of can be said to be seamless, how can there be a loophole? ”

Deng Tong scoffed at Xia Dezhang's blind self-confidence, thinking that you are just a stinky catcher, you really think that you are a clever Zhuge Kongming, if you really have that ability, you would have ridden on my head a long time ago, and you will not be suppressed by me everywhere now.

Deng informed that now was not the time to deal with him, so he directly pointed out the problem: "I have no opinion on the method you just thought, but I just want to ask you, after we arrive at the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, what will you do with this carriage?" ”

After Xia Dezhang heard this question, he gasped, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He asked himself, when he was thinking about a solution just now, he really ignored this problem.

At this time, he pondered carefully, and found that this was really a big and small problem, Zhou Zhou Ming's attitude was very resolute, and he would definitely not want this carriage, and after they arrived at the destination, they couldn't take this carriage back, and when the carriage was thrown at the door of the yamen of the General Affairs Office, it was too dazzling, and it would be difficult to clean up in case of trouble.

Seeing that Xia Dezhang didn't speak for a long time, Deng Tong was even more anxious, he looked at the street scene outside the window, and calculated how far away from the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, he opened his mouth to urge Xia Dezhang: "Old Xia, you should say something, now we are still three streets away from the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, if you can't think of a way to deal with this loophole, we will all be finished." ”

Xia Dezhang glanced at him very dissatisfied, and said in his heart that it doesn't matter if you can't help me, you still keep arguing here, you are deliberately not letting me find a way!

Deng Tong read his eyes, and immediately sat in place and stopped talking.

After a while, Xia Dezhang, who had been frowning, suddenly laughed, and then said to Deng Tong: "Deng Inspection, you don't have to worry, I have already thought of a solution, and I think this is still a brilliant idea." ”

Deng Tong thought that Xia Dezhang would definitely not be able to think of a way, so he was in despair, and he was already thinking of a way out for his family.

Suddenly, seeing Xia Dezhang's face happy, he said that he had already thought of a way, and the stone that pressed on Deng Tong's heart finally fell to the ground.

He immediately approached Xia Dezhang and said in a low voice: "Good brother, you almost scared me to death, I thought there was nothing even you could do."

My family of more than 20 people, whether they can survive or not depends on you. ”

Seeing Deng Tong's scared look, Xia Dezhang regretted a little in his heart, thinking that if he had known that he was scared of this virtue, I should have told him the way I thought of later, in that case, let him be scared for a while, and it could be regarded as venting his anger.
