Deng Tong was so scared that his legs were weak. He and Zhou Ming had known each other for a long time, and this was the first time he had seen Zhou Ming get so angry. The reason behind this anger was all caused by him.
He understood the seriousness of this matter. If Zhou Ming waited for a while and found out the truth of the matter, he would break his body into thousands of pieces and throw him into a smelly ditch in a rage, destroying his body and destroying all traces. He didn't think it was impossible.
Seeing Xia Dezhang and the others looking at him, full of anger and resentment, Deng Tong immediately understood that these people must want to betray him in exchange for Zhou Ming's forgiveness.
Instead of being betrayed by these people at the critical moment, it is better to confess first and behave well. After all, a generous and upright person like Yi Ming will definitely appreciate such behavior. Maybe when the time comes, he will let himself go when he is happy. .
At this time, Deng Tong could no longer care about the superior-subordinate relationship between himself and Yi Ming. It was important to save his life at the critical moment. As for face, dignity and other frivolous things, they were important only under the premise of survival.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, and while kowtowing to Zhou Yiming, he cried bitterly: "Brother Zhou, I deserve to die, all the mistakes I made are all my fault!
I shouldn't have listened to a girl with flowers all over the building and stopped everyone from going downstairs to help you!
Your Excellency has a lot, don't blame the brothers, blame me alone. "
Zhou Ming frowned, what was he thinking? Is there any inside story here?
He glanced at the people behind Deng Tong and asked them with his eyes what happened.
Xia Dezhang immediately stood up and said: "Brother Zhou, you just completely misunderstood us brothers. After we heard those voices, we immediately planned to go down to check, but we were stopped by Inspector Deng, so we didn't go."
Xia Dezhang then told Yi Ming exactly what happened when Deng Tong stopped them, without any concealment.
After knowing the cause and effect, Zhou Yiming's eyes turned red. He even suspected that Deng Tong wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him so as to consolidate his position as the top leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city.
"Inspector Deng, you are so interesting!" Zhou Ming said through gritted teeth.
Deng Tong kowtows like garlic, with tears and runny nose all over his face: "Brother Zhou, please spare me this time, I was also confused for a moment!"
Seeing Deng Tong begging for mercy so shamelessly in front of Yi Ming in order to survive, Xia Dezhang and all the officials felt contempt. On the one hand, they felt that he deserved the blame. On the other hand, they felt that a dignified inspector could be so greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to save the dog's life, he did not hesitate to kneel on the ground in front of all his subordinates and beg a person with a lower official position than himself to spare him. He was really weak.
Seeing Deng Tong's frightened look, Zhou Yiming instantly calmed down a lot. It was really not worth getting angry for such a person. He didn't even bother to teach him a lesson, because Zhou Yiming knew in his heart that after this incident, Deng Tong Tong's face has been disgraced, and it will be difficult to hold his head up in front of his subordinates in the future, so he will definitely be the number one person in charge of the inspection office in the south of the city.
And Zhou Ming had more important things to deal with. Although the flower-faced wolf downstairs was no longer a threat at the moment, and it was very difficult to even move, in order to prevent long nights and nightmares, he must immediately come up with a foolproof plan to get the other seven A hidden spy was caught and brought to justice as soon as possible.
After all, there are many people in Huamanlou. If the news spreads that the identity of the Oiran girl is exposed and captured, the other seven lurking spies will definitely escape immediately after learning the news. It will be even more difficult to capture them then. .
And if one of them knows that they are doomed, jumps over the wall, and goes on a killing spree in Huijing, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm and hurt innocent people. This is what Zhou Ming least wants to happen.
"The situation is urgent now, and I don't have time to bother with you on such nonsense. Let's write down the account for today. If something similar happens again in the future, I will kill you!" Zhou Ming's eyes widened, He scolded Deng Tong mercilessly.
Although he was scolded, Deng Tong felt relieved in his heart. He knew in his heart that Yi Ming did not hurt him, but just scolded him, which proved that this incident was over. In the future, as long as he keeps his tail between his legs and behaves as a human being, If Zhou Yiming behaves better in front of him, this dog's life will be saved.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. From now on, my life, Deng Tong, will be yours. Whenever you want it, just say it." Deng Tong knew that he had escaped, but the play still had to be performed in place. It will be on Monday Ming expressed his loyalty in front of him.
"Shut up, I don't care about your dog's life." Yi Ming didn't save Deng Tong's face at all. After scolding him, he immediately assigned tasks to everyone.
He sent two government officials downstairs to stand guard at the door of the Oiran girl's bedroom. No one was allowed to enter or exit without his order. Then he sent two more government officials to stand guard at the front and back doors of the Huaman Building and no one was allowed to go out.
Zhou Yiming stood at the top of the stairs and paced back and forth. Under the watchful eyes of Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, he carefully analyzed the current predicament he was in, hoping to come up with a perfect solution as soon as possible to catch all the evildoers.
But after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized that this was simply an impossible task.
First of all, there is a huge gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Apart from Zhou Ming's own certain combat prowess, the government officials are basically no different from ordinary people. If you take them to capture the spies, it will be like letting them go. They died in vain.
Although Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang have martial arts skills, they are no different than not. Counting on them at critical moments is tantamount to daydreaming. If they encounter a critical moment of life and death in battle, the two of them will protect themselves. After betraying himself, Zhou Yiming felt that he should burn high incense.
What's even more troublesome is that Hua Mianlang has just made it very clear that the remaining seven people are not in one place, but are scattered in seven places throughout Huijing City. These places are far apart from each other. , it is simply impossible to rely on these people to catch them all in a short time.
Because if they don't want to alert the enemy, they must divide their forces into seven groups and dispatch them at the same time, and capture these people before they can react.
But Zhou Yiming looked at the people in front of him, and immediately felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Except for the few people sent out to stand guard, the remaining people, let alone dividing the troops into seven groups, even divided the troops into two groups. not enough.
And Zhou Yiming also understood in his heart that even if he could divide his troops into two groups, it would be impossible for the other group of people to catch the spies without him. After all, he had already experienced the power of the Painted Wolf, and those who were different from the Painted Wolf The martial arts skills of the spies who come together to carry out the hidden mission will definitely not be lower than that of the Painted Wolf.
Seeing the time passing by, Zhou Yiming was anxious, but he just couldn't think of a good way to solve the current problem.
"What should we do?" Zhou Yiming muttered inadvertently.
Xia Dezhang knew in his heart that Yi Ming must have encountered a problem when designing the arrest plan, so he quickly said: "Captain Zhou, are there any problems with the arrest plan?"
Zhou Ming did not hide it: "Yes, although we have controlled the flower-faced wolf now, other details are still very dangerous. If we want to capture them, we must divide our troops into seven groups and dispatch them at the same time to win." of certainty.
Otherwise, if the action is sloppy or the news is leaked, these spies will definitely run away after hearing the news. Their destructive power is beyond our imagination. If they are allowed to escape, the consequences will be disastrous. "
Deng Tong also pretended to be anxious and whispered: "Captain Zhou, why don't we act quickly? If we continue to delay, it will be almost dawn!"
Zhou Yiming glared at him with contempt: "Do you think I don't know this truth? But look at our current manpower, are we enough to separate seven people? Even if we can separate these people, except for me, Do you have the ability to catch those people?”
Deng Tong blushed and bowed his head without saying a word.
Xia Dezhang's mind was spinning very fast, and he immediately came up with a good idea: "Captain Zhou, since we don't have enough manpower here, why don't we go and ask for help quickly?
There should still be people on duty in the General Affairs Office now, and I also know that the newly appointed General Manager Han Pingzhi works until very late these days before leaving the yamen. If he is here, please ask him to dispatch experts from the General Affairs Office to take action. This matter will definitely happen. Success will be immediate. "
When Zhou Yiming heard this plan, his eyes immediately lit up and he patted Xia Dezhang on the shoulder with admiration: "What a great idea. You can think of such a good way at a critical moment. You think so fast!"
If we can successfully handle this matter this time, we will have made another great contribution. When the court rewards you, your benefits will definitely be indispensable! "
"It's all thanks to Brother Zhou's cultivation!" Xia Dezhang didn't look proud at all. Instead, he responded very appropriately, without any intention of being greedy for credit.
Seeing this, the remaining government officials immediately expressed their support for Zhou Ming.
"We all follow Capt. Zhou's orders!"
Deng Tong was the only one standing aside in embarrassment. At this moment, he really wanted to rush into the room and beat the girl inside who was blocking him to death, because if she hadn't been so talkative, it would have been him, Deng Tong, who was now offering his advice in front of Yi Ming.
After the plan to call for help was finalized, Zhou Yiming immediately sent people to seal all the exits of Huamanlou, and then placed the boss of Huamanlou and some prominent important personnel under guard to prevent them from acting at will.
After confirming that everything was safe, Yi Ming asked Xia Dezhang about the background of Han Pingzhi, the general manager of the General Affairs Office. How is your temperament? He wanted to understand this, and when he went to ask for help, it was difficult to communicate with others.
When Xia Dezhang was asked these questions, his face changed slightly: "Captain Zhou, this Han Pingzhi is a white-clothed guard. He was a popular person around Yan Qiu before. Because of his strong ability to do things, he was promoted to the position of the general manager of the General Affairs Office. ."
