Just when Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were hesitating whether to take action to help Zhou Ming suppress these bold officials and dignitaries, in the process of resisting Zhou Ming, these officials and dignitaries became more confident and their methods of resistance became more and more fierce. Not only did they express contempt Zhou Ming was dismissive of Zhou Ming's authority, and later even started to curse.
Among them, a few of the most daring dignitaries not only cursed Yi Ming that he was not a human being, but also suddenly walked up to the person who wanted to eat the chair, pulled him up and walked towards the door without asking his permission. , while walking and encouraging others.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are just here to have a good time and have a good time. It is not a capital offense. Even if the court blames us, we will have a way to deal with it.
Let's leave now. Does this person named Zhou dare to touch a hair on our head? "
"If you are brave enough, come with me. If the door is here, I don't believe anyone would dare to do anything to us."
Zhou Ming, who was standing on a chair, looked at the people in front of him who didn't know whether to live or die. His face became increasingly ugly, but the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.
Hearing that these dignitaries were so disrespectful to Zhou Ming, not only Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were very angry, but also the small government servants in the inspection yamen in the south of the city were very angry. They did not have such a strong sense of right and wrong in their hearts. All they know is that Zhou Yiming is their future immediate boss and their good brother. If anyone dares to slander him like this, he is going against all of them.
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang saw that Yi Ming's face was getting more and more ugly, and knew that the time had come, so they waved at the same time and called on their government officials to stop the dignitaries who were trying to escape.
While the two of them were greeting their men, they went into battle themselves and pushed back the dignitaries who were trying to escape.
"Be honest with me. If anyone dares to insult Mr. Zhou again, I will make his blood splatter on the spot!"
"Shut up, or I'll smash your teeth!"
Although both of them tried hard to look fierce, their lack of confidence when speaking reduced the effect of their words by half. In fact, the reason why they lacked confidence was very simple, because each of these dignitaries, They can't afford it.
Zhou Yiming is a free-spirited young man with a strong spirit and high martial arts skills. By chance, he not only solved the case of the missing woman, but also solved a huge case. With such achievements, naturally he They have the confidence to look down on these dignitaries, but Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang cannot compare with Zhou Ming.
First of all, the two of them have been officials for many years, but they have never made a name for themselves in the officialdom. Both of them are middle-aged and are still small officials, and there is no chance for them to prosper and be appreciated by the emperor. They knew very well that if Zhou Yiming had not been born, the two of them might have been like this in their lives.
Although their official titles sound nice, they are actually just guard dogs for these dignitaries. If Zhou Ming can handle today's matter perfectly, all the problems will disappear. On the contrary, their The trouble is big.
Because these dignitaries hold grudges very much, and if they are slightly offended, they will find ways to retaliate. However, small officials like Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang cannot bear such revenge at all, so even with Zhou Ming supporting them, the two of them said He was still trembling when speaking cruelly, and even deliberately changed his voice when speaking, for fear that those dignitaries would remember him.
Faced with the unfounded threats from Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, the dignitaries not only were not frightened, but instead inspired an even stronger rebound.
"You dog slave, the imperial court raises you to be a dog. You don't take good care of the house and the courtyard, but instead you yell at us. You are really out of line with the law!"
"Get your dirty hands away, don't think I don't know you, Deng, if you dare to help the tyrants today, I will make you lose your official position tomorrow."
This sentence scared Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang out of their wits. They both knew in their hearts that what these people said was not to scare people, they were really capable of doing it.
Just when the two of them were considering whether to stop, Yi Ming stepped forward at the right time and solved the problem for them.
"You all stand down, I will handle this matter myself." Zhou Ming said loudly.
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, who were in a dilemma, breathed a sigh of relief. They looked furious and pushed obediently to the back.
The other government officials also retreated one after another, not daring to confront the dignitaries head-on.
The dignitaries thought that Yi Ming was scared. When they were happy, everyone slowly moved towards the door, while not forgetting to mock Yi Ming.
"I thought you had so much official power, but it turns out it's nothing more than that. You are also a bully and afraid of the strong!"
"If you don't have that diamond, don't scare people. What's the point? We haven't even taken action yet, and you're giving in?"
"You guys are wise, brothers, let's go."
The person who wanted to eat the chair originally thought that the problem would not be solved so easily, but what he didn't expect was that after everyone put up a fierce resistance, the matter was solved like this.
He looked at the chair at Zhou Ming's feet, smiled triumphantly, and then planned to turn around and leave.
"You, stop." Zhou Ming's voice became extremely cold, and he pointed at the person who wanted to eat the chair and said.
The man who wanted to eat the chair was stunned and pointed back at himself: "Are you talking to me?"
Zhou Ming nodded, raised his eyebrows, and showed a meaningful smile.
"Brothers, did you hear it? He told me to stop!" The man who wanted to eat the chair shouted loudly to other dignitaries, hoping to attract everyone's attention so that he could take the opportunity to mock Zhou Ming and let others Also look at your own strength.
"Just stop and see what he has to say."
"At this point, he still wants to be cruel? Did he take the wrong medicine?"
Other dignitaries spoke in a flurry of words, as if they felt that Zhou Ming had been frightened by them and had no ability to resist.
"I stopped, what can you do to me?" The man who wanted to eat the chair said arrogantly with a fierce look on his face. "
Zhou Yiming's tone was calm and he said like a gentleman: "You haven't finished eating this chair, so you just left like this. Isn't it appropriate?"
"Haha..." After a deafening laugh, the person who wanted to eat the chair pointed at the Taishi chair, "I'll leave this smelly chair to you. I'm going back home for a big dinner. Take care of yourself, Mr. Zhou!"
Some other dignitaries also burst out laughing when they saw this scene. Yi Ming instantly became a joke in their eyes.
These people didn't wait for Zhou Ming to react and turned around to leave. Especially the person who wanted to eat the chair. While walking towards the door, they did not forget to taunt Zhou Ming with their eyes, as if they were determined to get out of here alive.
"Brothers, bring me the guy. No one here is allowed to go. If anyone resists, they will be killed!" Zhou Ming, who had always been as calm as water, suddenly shouted loudly, "These people, regardless of their official position, are all spies from the North." The internal agents are all the worst evildoers and deserve to die."
When Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang took action before, they were too timid because they had too many concerns. Not only did they not frighten the dignitaries, but they were almost scared to death. However, after hearing Yi Ming's words, their hearts were filled with fear. All worries disappeared.
Because what Yi Ming said was so clever. Not only did he give specific orders in these words, asking everyone to capture all these dignitaries, but he also rationalized the orders in these words. .
If these high-ranking officials and dignitaries were to be killed just because they came to the mansion to look for flowers and flowers, it would not be justified by emotion or law. However, if these high-ranking officials and dignitaries had connections with foreign countries and were the spies of the Northern Kingdom, it would be a different story.
If this crime is really proven, no matter how strong the background of these dignitaries is, and no matter how big their official positions are, they will not be able to save their lives.
After all, even if you are a relative of the emperor, if you threaten the emperor's world, you will definitely die. What's more, the status of these dignitaries is not that high. If they are related to this spy case, even if it is Zhou Ming at this moment, They deserved their punishment for allowing their subordinates to torture and kill them. Afterwards, the court would not only not blame Yi Ming, but also give him a large reward.
With this reassurance in their hearts, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang immediately showed a fierce look on their faces, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.
They waved to their government officials, then everyone drew their swords and rushed towards the dignitaries.
Those dignitaries thought they had a chance to win, but what they didn't expect was that at such a critical moment, Zhou Ming would use his final trump card, which would undoubtedly cost them their lives.
Although these dignitaries were uneducated and incompetent, they also understood the weight of Zhou Ming's words. If they continued to resist stubbornly at this time, they would only die, and even if they died, they would be charged with betraying their country and seeking glory.
And they all knew in their hearts that with Zhou Ming's methods and intelligence, it would be a fool's errand to try to tamper with this case and convict them of having conspired with foreign countries.
Facing Deng Tong, Xia Dezhang and the others, who were charging towards them brandishing their swords like menacing gods, these dignitaries immediately gave in. Their arrogance just now disappeared, and they all suddenly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Master Zhou, we were wrong, spare your life!"
"I don't want to die. Mr. Zhou, if you want as much silver as you want, just ask, as long as you keep me alive."
"Help, Mr. Zhou!"
The person who asked to eat the chair thought he would be able to pass the test smoothly, but what he didn't expect was that before he reached the door, things took a sudden turn. Yi Ming only said a few words, which frightened everyone present.
Knowing that he was doomed, he knelt on the ground and moved to Zhou Yiming, crying loudly:
"Master Zhou, can't I just eat?"
