Han Pingzhi, who was so happy that he forgot everything, was suddenly stunned. He felt as if someone had poured cold water on his head, and the cold feeling penetrated into his heart.
"What? Didn't the spy come back? What's going on? Captain Zhou, this matter is of great importance, so don't make a joke."
Han Pingzhi had a bad premonition. After a moment of fear, he finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Before Zhou Yiming could talk, the white-clothed guards brought by Yang Shijun began to make sarcastic remarks.
"Master Han, are you too easy to deceive? Do you believe this? What does it mean that I didn't bring him back? In fact, I didn't catch him and let him run away."
"Be obedient and listen to the voice. Smart people will understand immediately. It's just that some people are too shameless and have poor martial arts skills. They let those low-level spies escape. This is shameful enough. In the end, they still have the shamelessness to say that they are just If I didn’t bring it back, don’t you think it’s a shame?”
This was the scene that Yang Shijun was waiting for. Before the white-clothed guards finished speaking, he pretended to have a straight face and said to his subordinates: "You guys are speaking too directly, aren't you? They let the spies escape, but People also want to lose face. If they can't bear the humiliation and hang themselves directly, can you shoulder this responsibility?"
"Oh, Mr. Yang is still thoughtful, but his subordinates are not thoughtful enough."
"Captain Zhou, don't take what I just said to heart. In fact, based on your martial arts skills, asking you to be responsible for catching spies along the way is basically forcing someone to do something difficult. It is understandable that you let the other party escape. At least you can still It can save lives.”
Several guards in white and Yang Shijun sang and coordinated seamlessly. A few words in the scene humiliated Zhou Ming completely. If it were an ordinary person, facing this situation, he would have collapsed long ago.
Zhou Yiming looked at the triumphant looks of several people and couldn't help but scold her. He thought that if he had known this, I should have considered whether to stop the Supreme Taoist's conspiracy. Now, I have done that old thief a big favor. , and ended up being laughed at by the old thief’s men. Is this still justified?
Feeling annoyed, Zhou Yiming had already thought of how to deal with these people.
When Han Pingzhi saw Yi Ming come back from a narrow escape, wearing tatters, even his official uniform was gone, he almost lost his life, and he had to face such ridicule and insult, he felt a little sympathy for Yi Ming. At the same time, I don’t know how to handle this situation right now.
Zhou Yiming sneered and ignored the ridicule and ridicule of Yang Shijun and others. Instead, he looked at Han Pingzhi very seriously and said slowly: "Master Han, you don't have to worry. I didn't bring back the spy because he was killed by me. kill!"
Hearing this, Han Pingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether the spy was dead or alive, as long as he was not allowed to escape, their arrest mission would be considered a complete success.
"Really?" Han Ping asked with excitement.
Before Zhou Yiming could speak, a guard in white rushed to speak: "Master Han, just listen carefully and comfort yourself for the time being."
Zhou Yiming coughed pretending to be mysterious and ignored the white-robed guard's words. He slowly sat on the chair next to him, then stretched out his hand to signal Han Pingzhi to sit back in the main seat. Then he glanced at the teacup on the table. Touched his throat.
Han Pingzhi immediately understood what he meant, stood up and greeted his servants: "Here, come, give Zhou a cup of tea."
Soon the servants served the tea respectfully and placed it on the table next to Zhou Yiming.
Seeing Zhou Yiming's mysterious look, Yang Shijun didn't think much about it. He thought that Zhou Yiming was just making a desperate struggle and letting the spies from the North go away was a serious crime. Even if the court didn't kill him in the future, it would still be exiled to the North. It's a done deal.
Yang Shijun was not in a hurry to expose Zhou Ming's lies, but was interested in watching him perform for a while.
The other white-clad guards had the same mentality as Yang Shijun. They were all very curious as to what excuse Yi Ming would use next to shirk the responsibility of letting the spies from the Northern Kingdom go.
"Master Han, this tea is good. Bring me two taels when I go back." Zhou Ming took a sip of tea and said with interest.
Han Pingzhi, who was sitting in the main seat, was about to burst into tears, thinking that Yi Ming was too ambitious and was about to die, but he still had the leisure to ask for tea.
"Of course. Zhou Capt., what's going on? Was that spy really killed by you?" Han Pingzhi asked patiently.
Zhou Yiming nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said slowly: "It's absolutely true. You may not believe it, but during this arrest mission, I discovered a shocking conspiracy.
This can't help but make me feel scared. If we take action a step later, our country of Chu will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption, and everyone here may lose their country and family at any time. "
Han Pingzhi was stunned for a moment. He believed in what Zhou Ming said and was curious about what the big conspiracy Zhou Ming said was.
Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards disagreed with Zhou Ming's words. They all believed that Zhou Ming was alarmist, aiming to exaggerate the danger of the spy so as to find an excuse for themselves to escape guilt.
Yang Shijun looked at Zhou Ming with meaningful eyes and smiled contemptuously: "Captain Zhou, what you said is a bit too much, right? If you can't make up anything later, just based on these words you said , we can convict you of the crime of deceiving the public with your monstrous words."
Before Yi Ming could speak, Han Pingzhi stood up quickly, fearing a conflict between people on both sides, stretched out his hands, and made a downward gesture to both sides: "Everyone, please be patient. We share the same hatred today. Please don't cause trouble among us." unhappy."
Yang Shijun sneered, crossed his legs, and leisurely planned to see how Zhou Ming would end up next.
Seeing that Yang Shijun said no more, Han Pingzhi turned around and walked to Zhou Ming and said respectfully: "Captain Zhou, what is the conspiracy you are talking about? Tell us quickly."
Zhou Yiming ignored Yang Shijun and said calmly: "After we split up last night, I followed the clues given by the informant and went to Peach Blossom Temple on the outskirts of the city. After going through many difficulties and obstacles, I quietly lurked in.
Through some means, it was determined that the spy Supreme Taoist was in the backyard of Peach Blossom Temple.
In order not to alert others, I carefully hid in the backyard of Peach Blossom Temple. After a brief observation in the dark, I discovered that the Supreme Taoist was doing evil. "
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Zhou Ming, wondering what the evil he was referring to was.
This was what Zhou Yiming wanted. To make sure that everyone's attention was on him, he continued: "This vicious supreme Taoist kidnapped a good woman and was about to plot something against her."
At this point, a guard in white suddenly interrupted: "A spy from the North who has done many evil things, robbed several young girls for fun while hiding. It's normal. What's all the fuss about?
Is it possible that our Da Chu State will be destroyed because of the loss of a little girl? "
"Yes, Zhou Captou, the people of the North are all beasts who eat their hair and drink their blood. It's not surprising that they do such things that are worse than animals." Han Pingzhi also didn't understand Zhou Ming's words.
"Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly." Zhou Yiming said calmly, "The Supreme Taoist kidnapped a little girl to do evil. This incident itself does not pose any threat to the national destiny of the Great Chu Kingdom, but among the The hidden conspiracy is enough to shake the country."
After hearing this, Han Pingzhi felt chills all over his body, because he judged from Zhou Ming's expression that Zhou Ming was definitely not joking in an alarmist way.
Only Yang Shijun and his white-clothed guards still disdained what Zhou Ming said.
Han Pingzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and urged Zhou Ming to continue talking.
"I was able to crack this conspiracy thanks to that good girl." What Zhou Ming said came from the bottom of his heart. If Miss Pang hadn't cleverly tricked the Supreme Taoist at the critical moment, he wouldn't have been able to Learn the ins and outs of the entire conspiracy.
"This strange woman, when she knew that she would be killed and had no way to escape, used her wit to get the conspiracy of the Supreme Taoist out of his mouth." Zhou Ming said excitedly, "Do you think this Supreme Taoist has no way to escape?" Did the Taoist man kidnap this girl just for temporary pleasure?"
Han Pingzhi was the first to nod. Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards who were present sneered at Zhou Ming's words, so they didn't express their opinions at all on the surface, but they also thought so in their hearts, otherwise a stinky Taoist priest would drag a girl into the house in the middle of the night. In the Taoist temple, are we going to recite sutras and teach her the Dharma?
And those people who had not been seen by Yi Ming before, who seemed to be from the palace, had remained silent, because they knew in their hearts that this matter was of great importance, and as they were not familiar with the case, they must not express their opinions easily, otherwise, You might bring yourself some trouble.
"Master Han, you are wrong to think so." Zhou Ming became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, "Actually, this supreme Taoist has played a big game of chess.
He knew that a missing woman case had just occurred in our country of Chu, and the murderer behind this case was the grandson of Yan Zhonglang.
The reason why he abducted this woman was to create the illusion that the woman's disappearance would continue to occur, so that Yan Zhonglang, who had been cleared of suspicion, would become the object of suspicion again, thus triggering chaos in the entire court.
Once the court is in chaos, they from the north can take the opportunity to go south and destroy our great Chu. "
After hearing these words, Han Pingzhi was trembling with fear. His mouth was opened wide and he could not close it at all. The fear deep in his heart almost made him fall to the ground on the spot.
"This Taoist thief has a heart that can be punished!" After trembling for a long time, Han Pingzhi cursed angrily.
Yang Shijun and several of his white-clothed guards were stunned after hearing what Zhou Ming said. They knew in their hearts that if what Zhou Ming said was true, once the Taoist thief's conspiracy succeeded, Yan Qiu would die. No burial place.
