Chapter 290: No Return
In fact, just now Steward Li made things so difficult for Zhou Ming, and he also made a lot of determination, because he knew that once he did this, he was gambling, and the bet was his future and fate, in case the bet was lost, it turned out that Zhou Ming was really a rich man, then he would never recover.
At that time, not only will he no longer be trusted by the shopkeeper Lu, but he will immediately lose his errand, and no one will dare to use him in this industry from now on.
The reason why he used such a ruthless trick was also out of helplessness, because he had already seen through it, Zhou Ming was very good at talking, if he just reasoned with him, maybe the people on his side couldn't talk about him at all, so in order to gain the upper hand as soon as possible and reverse the defeat, he could only make this decision.
Otherwise, once the matter drags on, it will definitely have a lot of dreams at night, once the shopkeeper Lu is not firm and begins to doubt the words of their subordinates, even if this matter can be successfully resolved in the end, it is unknown whether the shopkeeper Lu will rely on them in the future.
"Little brother, weren't you quite confident just now? Why don't you talk now? Steward Li saw that Zhou Ming was slow to speak, so he hurriedly pursued after the victory, wanting to expose his true face at once.
The big men on the side also coaxed, and they opened their mouths one after another, mocking Zhou Ming:
"Little brother, don't save face for us, just prove to us how capable you are."
"That's right, don't just talk about it, that's not a skill."
"Take out the money, show it to all of us, and gag us too."
As the boss of the money bank, the shopkeeper Lu should have stepped forward to stop him when he saw this scene, because the gang of people under him made it difficult for customers like this, which was a great disrespect to customers, and if this kind of thing was spread, the impact on the money bank would be very great.
But today's shopkeeper Lu is abnormal, not only did he not stand up and reprimand his subordinates, but also watched coldly, staring at Zhou Ming all the time, he really couldn't understand what this young man was thinking, what he said just now was obviously like a rich kid, but in the face of the doubts of his subordinates, why did he have nothing to say? Could it be that he is really a bad guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to come to the money bank to find faults?
After thinking of this possibility, Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, after all, just now, he thought that Zhou Zhou Ming was a talent, and wanted to keep him under his hands and use him for his own use.
In the face of the aggressive momentum of everyone in front of him, Zhou Ming was really angry for a moment, and he even wanted to urge his vitality to beat these bullying bastards into cripples one by one, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
However, this thought only existed in his mind for a short time, because reason told him that once he did this, not only would his previous achievements for the court be wiped out, but the old thief in the court would also take this opportunity to eradicate himself in one fell swoop.
Although he died by himself, he brought it on himself, and there is nothing to complain about, but Yan Qiu's hatred for himself will not disappear because he dies, he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots and attack his own family.
At that time, their father and mother will be miserable, and when they are old, they will have to send white-haired people to black-haired people, this kind of thing is already a big enough blow to the psychology, and as a result, they may be killed by their enemies.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming had a heart-wrenching feeling, and in addition to his father, he also had one person he couldn't let go, and this person was his own lady Lin Ajiao.
Since the two of them got married, they have been in love with each other abnormally, respectful of each other, and it can be said that they have never blushed, if they set themselves on fire for this little thing in front of them, and were finally eradicated by the old thief, what should she do?
You must know that the lady is at a young age, the age of a flower, in terms of her character, after she dies, no matter how her mother's family persuades, she will definitely not remarry, and a strong woman like her will definitely find ways to avenge herself.
But after all, the lady is weak, how can a weak woman confront the first traitor of the dynasty?
In the end, the lady worked hard for a long time, not only could not take revenge, but would take her life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel sad, and there was an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart, thinking that he was not so unlucky, right? Even if Lao Tzu encounters Waterloo here today, it won't cause such a big consequence, right?
Steward Li and the strong men under him naturally didn't know what Zhou Zhou Ming was thinking, they just saw that the expression on his face kept changing, and it became more and more ugly, so they judged that this kid must be trying to get out.
In order to let Zhou Zhou Ming accept the punishment he deserved, these strong men all walked to the back of the door and stood in a row to block Zhou Ming's escape route.
Zhou Zhou Ming noticed the actions of the strong men, and he thought to himself, should he take advantage of their unstable footing to knock them to the ground and then escape?
Although it is very embarrassing to do this, they don't know their identity after all, and even if they see themselves in other places in the future, they will probably forget about it long ago.
Just when Zhou Zhou Ming was about to fight to the death, his eyes lit up, and he showed a smile, then he reached out and patted his arms, and found that the thing was still there, he immediately raised his head, stared at Steward Li and asked, "How to prove it?" ”
The group of big men standing behind the door had already decided that Zhou Ming must be a poor man, and they had even begun to think in their hearts about how to clean him up after completely exposing Zhou Ming's identity.
But what they didn't expect was that after Zhou Zhou Ming was silent for a while, he actually raised his head arrogantly and asked Steward Li a sharp question.
They all knew in their hearts that the reason why Zhou Zhou Ming dared to ask such a question must be confident in their hearts, maybe their family was really a rich man, or it was the official family of the old minister.
After thinking of these two possibilities, these people were immediately frightened and didn't know what to do, they subconsciously turned their eyes to Steward Li, hoping that at this critical moment, he could come up with a foolproof plan to deal with the current crisis.
Those who were surprised by Zhou Ming's rhetorical question were not only those big men, but also the shopkeeper Lu.
He thought that Zhou Zhou Ming would be silent for a while, take the initiative to confess his life experience and mistakes, and then ask for his forgiveness, but Zhou Ming's last move greatly surprised him.
Shopkeeper Lu stared at Zhou Ming with very intriguing eyes, thinking that this young man was really strange, he showed that scared look just now, which almost made me mistakenly think that he was really a bad person.
Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, the shopkeeper Lu did not express it, because he knew very well in his heart that it was not the time for him to come forward to speak, and he wanted to take a look at the duel between Zhou Ming and his subordinates, who would die in the end, and which side would win the final victory.
In fact, this kind of practice of sitting and watching success or failure is very clever, because there is no statement before the result comes out, so no matter who wins in the end, the shopkeeper Lu can stand up and easily say to the winning side, I already knew that you were right, but you didn't say it.
In this way, instead of offending the winning side, he will easily win the favor of the winning side, and then they can stand together and blame the losing side.
This kind of business is not a loss, and only a clever businessman will come up with such a clever trick.
In the face of Zhou Ming's rhetorical question, Manager Li was a little timid at the first time, because he also felt that Zhou Zhou Ming had the courage to say this, and he must have the strength.
After a short period of fear, he immediately regained his composure, seeing that the shopkeeper Lu did not stand up to preside over the overall situation, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart, he had followed the shopkeeper Lu for many years, knowing his scheming character, he did not stand up at this time, he must have wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Steward Li glanced at Zhou Ming, he knew in his heart that things had developed to this point, and he had no way out, even if he knew that Zhou Ming was a rich and noble person, he would bet with him to the end.
"Good guts." Steward Li raised his voice, praised Zhou Ming, and then continued, "Since you have asked so, little brother, then I will tell you how to prove it."
In the early years, there were too many people like you who came to our money bank to do things, so in order to distinguish the true identity of these people, the old gentleman in our money bank summed up two ways to prove their identity.
The first and most commonly used method is to let the unidentified guest reveal his home, and then according to the clues he gave, we send someone to visit the door, and if the information is correct, it can also prove that the identity of the guest is true.
This method is the simplest and most trouble-free, and it does not hurt each other's face, before our money bank, as soon as we meet a tricky guest, we will use this method to try everything. ”
After listening to Steward Li's words, they all admired it, and they all felt that this method was so wonderful that even if they encountered a shrewd liar, as long as they used this trick on him, they would immediately reveal his true form.
Shopkeeper Lu didn't have any waves in his heart at this time, because his intuition told him that Zhou Zhou Ming would definitely not accept this method of verifying his identity.
After Steward Li finished explaining this verification method, he wanted to explain the details of using this method clearly, but before he could speak, Zhou Zhou Ming interrupted him and snatched the words.
"Steward Lee, right? I won't accept the first method, so let's talk about the second method! Zhou Zhou Ming smiled and said confidently, as if he didn't take the doubts of the people in front of him seriously at all.
The gang of big men behind the door, after seeing this scene, all of them were happy in their hearts, because they all thought that the reason why Zhou Zhou Ming didn't dare to accept this verification method was because he had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid that if he used this method, he would immediately expose his identity as a poor bastard.
