The reason why the people who want to eat the chairs say this have two meanings. The first is to tell Yi Ming that they, the dignitaries, have realized their mistakes and hope that Yi Ming will let them go at the critical moment, which can be regarded as leaving a path for themselves. Way back.
Another meaning is to remind Zhou Ming not to forget that he himself came to Huamanlou to have fun. If their scandal spreads, he will be equally embarrassed, and his face will be embarrassed. After all, although they were very obsessed with the fake oiran girl, no one had ever won his favor. Only Zhou Yiming, who came here for the first time, was taken to the oiran girl's bedroom. As for the two of them after entering, What happened in between, only God knows.
If this matter spreads, it will cause a disaster to their reputation and future life, and for Yi Ming, it will be a disaster.
After the man who wanted to eat the chair said these words, other dignitaries immediately understood the implication of his words. They were inspired, so they began to threaten Zhou Ming.
"Mr. Zhou, don't be too extreme in everything. Keep a line in your behavior so that we can meet each other easily in the future. You and I are both officials of the imperial court, but there are high and low official positions. It's not a glorious thing for us to come here to have fun. And it is even more unlucky for you and me to encounter this fake product.
In our opinion, it is better to make this matter a big deal than a big deal. If it is a trivial matter, let it go. You and we make concessions to each other. After this matter is over, we will be considered acquainted. If you need our help in the future, just ask. "
"Yes, we are all victims of this matter, so please stop hurting each other. And if this matter becomes big and spreads out, although our faces will not look good, Mr. Zhou, your face will also be disgraced. ."
"And you and this fake courtesan have been in the bedroom for so long. Who knows what you have done. You are two people with two skins. You can talk about it or not, and even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it off."
After this fierce threat, Yi Ming had not spoken out yet, which frightened Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, because they knew very well that their official positions were low and could not be compared with those high-ranking officials. The reason why they acted last night I came here just to have a good time and have a good time. As for solving the Northern spy case, it was a complete mistake. If Yi Ming insists on going his own way and makes this matter bigger, they will be the ones who suffer.
After all, although those high-ranking officials will also be embarrassed and even be criticized by the court, their backgrounds are very strong. As long as they spend a little money to smoothen their relationships, it won't take long before they are fine and can even be reinstated. .
As for Zhou Ming, there is nothing to worry about. He has already become famous all over the world for solving the case of a missing woman. His image of a hero and a chivalrous heart has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In a short period of time, even if something bad happens to him, The imperial court would also give him a lighter sentence out of consideration for the pressure of the people all over the world. What's more, he was the first to discover the Northern spy case, and he led the arrest. He can be said to be the first contributor.
Even if the court discovers later that he had an ulterior motive for coming to Huamanlou, they will definitely turn a blind eye. After all, this small mistake is nothing compared to his achievements. The emperor may even be happy when the time comes. , and will reward him with several beauties as concubines.
But the low-level officials like them will not have such a good life. Big fish like Yi Ming and others can easily get rid of the blame, but they may eventually become scapegoats and take all the blame.
Thinking of this, both Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang broke out in cold sweat. Regardless of everyone's gaze, the two quietly walked behind Zhou Ming, lowered their voices to the lowest level, and said:
"Brother Zhou, what those people said is not unreasonable. No matter what disputes there are between you, it is not appropriate to make a big deal about this matter today. Once it becomes big, not only will these high-ranking officials be offended, but we will not be able to live with it.
After all, the purpose of our coming here is not simple. We were able to solve this big case entirely by luck. If we break up with them now and end up hurting both sides, our faces will be ruined.
and……"
At this point, the two people suddenly shut up, and then stared at each other, not knowing whether they should say the rest of the words.
Zhou Yiming looked at the cowardly looks of the two of them and was already furious. Then he saw that the two of them were hesitant to speak, and he knew that they had nothing good to say: "What on earth do you two want to say? Can you please be more cheerful!" "
Xia Dezhang had already seen that Yi Ming was angry, so he just kept silent.
In order to protect himself, Deng Tong could no longer care about so much at this time. Seeing that Xia Dezhang was silent, he could only muster the courage to say: "And as soon as you came to Huamanlou, you won the heart of the oiran girl. Now his true identity It has been exposed. If this matter spreads, Mr. Zhou, you may be drowned in rumors."
Zhou Yiming glared at the two of them fiercely, and whispered angrily: "Can you two useless people be of any use? I'm just trying to scare you, why don't you even have the guts?
Stop talking nonsense, step aside and watch my performance. "
The flower-faced man lying on the door panel didn't know what to do at this time. He originally wanted to help Zhou Ming to deal with those dignitaries, but seeing the scene at this time, Zhou Ming was clearly passive. If he If his existence would cause him trouble, Hua Mianlang would willingly choose death in order to repay Yi Ming's kindness in protecting his dignity.
Zhou Yiming took two steps forward with a solemn expression, looking at the dignitaries with an unusually cold expression on his face.
When passing by Hua Mian Lang, Hua Mian Lang whispered: "Mr. Zhou, I, Hua Mian Lang, have been living in a muddle all my life. It is only today that I finally understand that I am truly blessed to meet you in this life.
Thank you very much, please take care of yourself. "
Zhou Yiming heard the implication, so he quickly said: "You kid, don't think too much, let alone mess around, disrupt my plan, just lie there and don't move."
Hua Mianlang was stunned. Although he didn't know what Zhou Ming's plan was, he was very obedient and kept silent, looking at Zhou Ming intently.
Those high-ranking officials originally thought that they had some leverage in Yi Ming's hands, so they had always been respectful to him, fearing that if he suddenly turned against him, they would be left with nothing to lose.
But after threatening Yi Ming at this time, they all thought that Yi Ming was afraid, so they all became arrogant. Their usual arrogant and domineering look was back. Even the person who said he wanted to eat the chair was now He didn't take Zhou Ming seriously at all. He even blamed Zhou Ming in his heart for being too slow to admit defeat and affecting his ability to go back for breakfast.
Zhou Yiming stood in front of those dignitaries, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Actually, I don't want to make it difficult for you. As long as you are honest and like me, Admit your mistake, be nice, and I might let you go.
But now, since you want to fight me to the end, I don’t have to save any face for you. In the future, if your wife and children are separated and your family is destroyed because of today’s incident, don’t blame me. ! "
These words immediately stung the pain of those dignitaries. At the same time, they did not understand in their hearts. Now that Yi Ming had shortcomings in their hands, why was he still so arrogant? Isn't he afraid of dying with them?
"Zhou, there is no need to scare people here. We all know your trump card. We will die without a burial place and you won't be able to survive." The man who wanted to eat the chair had a fierce look on his face. He even called Zhou Ming. All changed.
With him taking the lead, other dignitaries also gathered around aggressively and shouted at the Zhou board.
"Are we still afraid of you? If you have the guts, report everything today to the court and see who will die faster, you or us."
"It's also illegal. We have people behind us. Although you are famous all over the world now, those who care about you are ordinary people. They can't help you at all with your future, life and death."
"Coming here to have fun is illegal. We can't run away, and you will die faster."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang became really anxious. They ran to Zhou Yiming and lowered their voices: "Brother Zhou, these people are too arrogant. It's better to kill them all without stopping. Then put the blame on the Northern spies, and all the problems will be solved."
"You two are still ruthless!" Zhou Ming turned back to look at the two of them and let out a sigh, "You two should stay away quickly. Don't come up with random ideas without my instructions."
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang originally thought that their idea was perfect and that Yi Ming would be happy to accept it. Unexpectedly, this kid not only did not use their strategy, but also scolded them.
The two people stood aside dejectedly, looking at Zhou Ming coldly, wondering how he could deal with the current situation.
Zhou Ming stared confidently at the person who wanted to eat the chair, and smiled slightly: "The imperial court has explicitly prohibited it. No official is allowed to go to a place like Hua Man Lou in private to have fun. I think you all understand in your heart.
Yes, I came to this kind of place just like you, but I am also different from you.
You are here to look for flowers and do some shady things; while I am here to perform official duties and catch spies from the North. How can this be confused?
You are here to break the law, and I am here to enforce the law. The purposes are different, and of course the results obtained are even different! "
As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, the faces of those dignitaries turned green with fright, because they suddenly understood that the reason why Zhou Ming was so confident was because he had a trump card in his hand, as long as someone came to spend money all over the house because of him And if anyone troubles him, he can openly say that he is here to handle the case, and the person who troubles him will immediately become speechless.
