Yang Shijun was a little excited at the first moment, and wanted to stand up quickly and ask Zhou Yiming what happened next, and whether the Supreme Taoist had been killed.
But when he saw the eunuchs present, he immediately gave up the idea. After all, these people were the emperor's eyes and ears. If on such an occasion, he heard a conspiracy that was harmful to Yan Qiu's safety, he would act too excited. , may arouse the suspicion of these people even more. Once Yan Qiu loses the trust of the emperor, he will lose his only capital and backer.
The white-clothed guards under him had the same idea as him, so although they were very concerned about whether the Supreme Taoist was dead or alive, no one asked him. They just looked at Zhou Ming silently, hoping that he would Go on quickly.
Zhou Mingyi entered the room and saw the strangers, who seemed to be from the palace. In fact, his judgment was very correct. These people were the eunuchs around the emperor.
Yan Qiu was the most favored and trusted person around the emperor, so he would try to inform the emperor of every news he knew as soon as possible.
After Yang Shijun got Han Pingzhi's letter asking for help last night, he immediately reported it to Yan Qiu and asked him if he wanted to help Han Pingzhi.
At the emperor's feet, spies from the Northern Kingdom appeared. This was a major matter related to the safety of the Chu Kingdom, so Yan Qiu did not stop him and immediately agreed to Yang Shijun's attack. At the same time, he sent someone to send the news to the palace.
After the emperor received the news, he was also very surprised. He took it seriously and immediately sent his confidant eunuchs to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office to supervise the battle. He was afraid that these officers in the Yamen would take advantage of the situation at a critical moment.
These eunuchs arrived at the Yamen of the General Affairs Office not long after Yi Ming and the others went out to separate. They did not leave until Yang Shijun and the others successfully captured the spies, because they would not be able to leave without confirming that every spy had been caught. Returning to the palace for business.
When Yi Ming first came back, these eunuchs were a little disappointed because they saw that Yi Ming did not bring the prisoner back, but instead suffered injuries all over his body. This obviously meant that he had let the prisoner go.
If they bring back the news that the arrest mission failed, the emperor will definitely be furious. Not only will he punish these poor police officers, but they will also suffer the consequences of bringing back this bad news. After all, the emperor is old now and has a very bad temper. not good.
But when they heard Yi Ming say that he had killed the prisoner, these eunuchs felt a little relieved. However, there was no evidence to support Yi Ming's statement yet. They could only continue to wait, hoping in their hearts that Yi Ming would say something. It's the truth.
At the end, Yi Ming revealed such a shocking conspiracy, which frightened all the eunuchs.
After all, although they are slaves in the palace now, they live a worry-free life. They rely on the rewards from their masters every day and they have good food and clothing. If the conspiracy of the supreme Taoist succeeds as Zhou Ming said, then the world will be in chaos. War breaks out.
As the saying goes, people in chaos are not as good as peace dogs. When war breaks out, normal people's lives cannot be guaranteed, let alone eunuchs like them who rely on the emperor to survive in the world.
An elderly eunuch couldn't help his curiosity. He rushed ahead of Han Pingzhi and asked Zhou Ming with a serious face: "Captain Zhou, if things are really as you said, this case is of great importance. I don't know what will happen next." How did you handle it?"
Zhou Yiming turned to look at the eunuch, feeling unfamiliar for a moment, so he turned back to Han Pingzhi and asked him with his eyes who this person was.
Han Pingzhi reacted quickly and came over immediately. He introduced him very appropriately: "Captain Zhou, this is the father-in-law from the palace. He is the personal attendant of the current emperor. Because the case we are handling is of great importance, the emperor is not at ease." , send them here to gather information at all times.”
Zhou Yiming suddenly realized, thinking that Han Pingzhi's mind was spinning so fast. He was asking for information. These were basically the supervisors sent by the emperor to monitor us. This was because he was afraid that we would not try our best when carrying out the arrest mission. The emperor was also suspicious. Heavy enough.
Zhou Yiming immediately stood up, saluted the father-in-law, and said respectfully: "Reporting to the father-in-law, I humbly carry out errands for the emperor, and I dare not show any slights.
I have killed the Supreme Taoist, and his body is in a small forest on the outskirts of the city. As for the good woman, for the sake of her innocence and reputation, I have sent her home safely. "
After listening to Zhou Yiming's words, the father-in-law who asked the question was very satisfied. He couldn't help praising Zhou Yiming for his beautiful job. While successfully killing the supreme Taoist, he also considered the reputation of the victimized girl. Such thoughtfulness These young people, given time, will definitely become the pillars of the country.
"Your name is Zhou Ming, right?" The father-in-law nodded with satisfaction and asked again.
Zhou Ming handed over his hand again: "That's right."
"The errand was well done. We will report the truth to the Emperor when we get back. This time you have made a great contribution, and the Emperor will definitely reward you." The father-in-law was particularly happy because Yi Ming had dealt with the supreme Taoist so beautifully. It can be said that he single-handedly protected the safety of the Chu Kingdom, and at the same time allowed these father-in-laws to bring good news back to the palace, avoiding the risk of punishment.
After Han Pingzhi knew the ins and outs of the matter and saw that Zhou Ming was so appreciated by those father-in-laws, he was particularly happy for Zhou Ming. Although he had robbed him of a lot of limelight, as long as the arrest plan was successfully completed, he The nominal person in charge will still receive a big reward.
At this time, everyone in the room was very happy, because they had been busy for most of the night and finally successfully eliminated the spies from the North. Their hard work was not in vain.
Only Yang Shijun and the white-clothed guards were not happy at all, because the huge conspiracy that Yi Ming just mentioned was closely related to Yan Qiu, although Yan Qiu was just a tool man and scapegoat in this conspiracy. , but no one knows what the emperor will think once this conspiracy is known to him.
If the relationship between the emperor and Yan Qiu breaks down due to this reason, then the biggest victim after this arrest mission will be Yan Qiu.
Yang Shijun and his few white-clothed guards can be said to have a community of interests with Yan Qiu. As the saying goes, everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses. The contribution they made tonight is compared with Yan Qiu's reputation and future. Not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, when Yang Shijun saw those father-in-laws who were favored by the emperor and admired Zhou Ming so much, he became angry. From just now until now, he had always felt that Zhou Ming could uncover this conspiracy and kill the supreme Taoist. It's all bullshit luck.
The martial arts cultivation level of that Supreme Taoist must be very low. Maybe if you send a government officer to capture the Supreme Taoist, you can easily capture him. And the person who deserves the most credit for this capture mission should be himself.
When Yang Shijun saw his father-in-laws chatting with Yi Ming and wanting to leave, he immediately became anxious because he knew that he had to prove that what Yi Ming said was true while these father-in-laws were around. Bullshit, there is no conspiracy at all, and there is a big question mark as to whether Zhou Yiming killed the Supreme Taoist.
He did this not only to gain credit for this arrest, but more importantly, as long as he could prove that Yi Ming was all lying, the conspiracy would be self-defeating and Yan Qiu's reputation and image would be destroyed. , will be preserved accordingly.
"Wonderful, it's so wonderful!" The atmosphere in the room was originally peaceful. Without any warning, Yang Shijun clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up to Zhou Ming, "Captain Zhou, it's just your imagination. Lili, with your eloquence, it’s really unfair for you to be treated like a little head catcher.
I think you have a better future as a storyteller under the Caishi Bridge than as a head catcher. "
Everyone present was stunned, wondering what Yang Shijun meant by what he said.
Everyone exchanged looks with each other, and finally all eyes fell on Zhou Ming.
Zhou Yiming looked at Yang Shijun's shameless look and knew in his heart that this guy might feel that he had gained too much limelight and had taken away his credit, so he was looking for trouble for himself.
Then he thought that the conspiracy he just mentioned had a great relationship with Bai Yiwei's master Yan Qiu. Yang Shijun wanted to use the opportunity of finding trouble to clear his master's name.
Zhou Yiming did not panic, thinking that if you have any ability, just use it, I will stop you with my soldiers, and the water will cover you, and it will be more than enough to deal with you.
"Master Yang, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Ming deliberately pretended to be very surprised, "Are you suspecting that what I just said is a lie?"
"Isn't it fake or real?" A guard in white stood up and asked in a cold tone.
Yang Shijun pressed the guard in white down. He took two steps forward, stared into Zhou Ming's eyes, and said with a meaningful smile: "Captain Zhou, are you telling lies or telling stories? You are better than me in your heart." clear.
But there is one thing I admire you very much. Your story is very nice. If I, Yang, had not been in the officialdom for many years and had seen countless strange cases, I might have believed the story you told. "
The father-in-laws who had originally planned to go back to the palace to pay errands saw the sudden change in things and immediately became nervous. They hoped in their hearts that Yi Ming was telling the truth, but Yang Shijun suddenly raised questions and they had to pay attention. After all, If you go back with false news to return to life, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor and you will be beheaded.
Han Pingzhi panicked when he saw the two sides were at war with each other and regarded them as fire and water. He hurriedly stood up and tried to stop Yang Shijun: "Master Yang, we are all brothers who work together. Don't hurt the harmony because of trivial matters. If you have something in your heart, Things can be discussed in private."
"Master Han, are you trying to protect someone named Zhou?" Yang Shijun suddenly turned his face and asked with wide eyes.
