The two forces collided together, and with a click, the Seven-Star Sword was firmly sheathed, and the boss of Huamanlou's arm was broken from the middle, half of his arm swinging in the wind like a broken wicker.
"Ah!" After a scream, the owner of Huamanlou rolled on the ground in pain. His face was covered in cold sweat, and his entire face was extremely distorted due to the pain.
Zhou Yiming was furious. In fact, when Xia Dezhang brought the boss to him, he had no intention of severely punishing him because he always believed that the boss must have nothing to do with the spy case. He bought it back, maybe he was also deceived.
But the development of things later was far beyond his expectation. The boss's abnormal behavior made Zhou Ming have to suspect that this kid might really be related to this espionage case.
Moreover, when the boss pulled out his Seven-Star Sword, Zhou Yiming held his arm and could clearly feel that he himself had no martial arts skills. The reason why he desperately made such an extreme move was that he wanted to commit suicide in order to hide it. Some dark secrets.
Seeing Huamanlou's boss writhing in pain on the ground, Zhou Yiming felt no pity in his heart. Instead, he was filled with anger. He felt that this boss really didn't appreciate praise. He clearly didn't want to kill him, but he rushed up to seek death. Since In this case, no one else is to blame.
At this time, everyone present was frightened by the tragic situation of the owner of Huamanlou. Although everyone felt that he deserved it, who asked him to overestimate his capabilities and provoke Zhou Ming, but when they saw his broken arm, they Everyone felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong rushed to Yi Ming's side and asked nervously: "Master Zhou, are you okay? My subordinates did not protect me well. Please spare my life, Master Zhou!"
Zhou Yiming clenched his Seven-Star Sword, cleared his throat, and looked at the two people meaningfully: "Don't worry, I'm fine. If I had let you two protect me, I would have died eight hundred times."
"My subordinates deserve to die!" Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were frightened when they heard what Zhou Ming said.
"What are you two talking about as subordinates? Don't forget, I'm just a catcher now, you are my superiors!" Zhou Ming suddenly realized that something was wrong. The two men opened their mouths in front of so many people. If an adult shuts up his subordinates, isn't he roasting them on the fire?
If this matter was spread, when the court knew about it, it would definitely not think that Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were flattering, but would think that Yi Ming was arrogant and contemptuous of the imperial official system.
By then, even if Zhou Yiming had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain himself clearly.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were embarrassed when they heard what Zhou Ming said. Ever since Zhou Ming cracked the spy case last night, they both thought that Zhou Ming would definitely be the leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city in the future. As for whether they could To be able to live a good life, all hopes are pinned on him.
It was precisely because the two of them had this idea in their minds that they unknowingly regarded Zhou Yiming as their boss. It became natural to get used to it, and the title gradually changed.
Both of them knew in their hearts that the reason why Yi Ming reminded them at this time was because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to themselves.
"Oh, I was so nervous last night. I was so busy that my mind was confused." Deng Tong reacted quickly and immediately found a step for himself.
Xia Dezhang laughed: "Who says it's not the case? That's good. Brother Zhou took advantage of it for a long time, but it doesn't matter. Everyone is one of our own."
Zhou Yiming looked at the two people and said with a meaningful smile: "I don't like to take advantage of this. You two should be less confused in the future, otherwise outsiders who don't know the truth will hear it and think we have violated the laws of the country!"
"I know, don't worry, brother Zhou, we will never do it again in the future."
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong hurriedly agreed without any hesitation. However, although the two of them agreed simply with their mouths, they complained repeatedly in their hearts. They thought that even if the two of us don't get confused in the future and change the name we call you, will it be possible to change the situation? Is it realistic?
You are now so great that the Lord is shocked. With your merits, the small temple of the Inspection Yamen in the south of the city cannot actually accommodate a big Buddha like you. As long as we are still running errands in the same Yamen, no matter whether your official position is high or low, just say something Do we dare not to listen?
Although they felt miserable in their hearts, the two of them did not dare to show it at all, so they could only cooperate with Zhou Ming in this good show.
After solving this small problem, Zhou Yiming's face immediately returned to seriousness. He looked at the dignitaries and the subordinates of Huamanlou's boss, and said angrily: "Have you seen it? This is the result of playing tricks. If you If you’re not afraid, feel free to use whatever skills you have!”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately frightened and fell to their knees with a roar:
"Master Zhou, we absolutely don't dare!"
"Please forgive me, sir!"
Zhou Yiming nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, called over a few young government servants, and ordered them to tie up the owner of Huamanlou, who was still struggling in pain on the ground.
Several young government officials were stunned for a moment. They saw the Huamanlou boss on the ground in extreme pain and had lost the ability to resist, so they wanted to confirm with Yi Ming whether they really wanted to tie him up.
"What are you still doing? Take action!" Zhou Ming raised his voice and said.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong were afraid that these government officials would anger Zhou Ming and harm themselves, so they hurried forward and cursed angrily:
"Are you deaf? Brother Zhou's order is our order. If anyone dares to disobey, we will make him walk around in pain!"
Several government officials then started to tie up the owner of Huamanlou, and the binding was as strong as a rice dumpling.
"You surnamed Zhou, if you can, kill me!" The owner of Huamanlou, who was about to faint from the pain, still refused to give in and shouted even when his consciousness was about to blur.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong both planned to rush over and teach the boss a lesson.
But Zhou Yiming had already taken action first. He raised his palm and gave the boss of Huamanlou a big mouth, knocking his jaw off. Several teeth fell out and blood spurted out of his mouth.
The boss of Huamanlou screamed in pain, and after a while, he fainted.
"Put him up and everyone set out immediately to escort the prisoner to the General Affairs Office before noon."
Zhou Ming said to everyone seriously.
On behalf of everyone, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong raised their hands and said, "Yes!"
Zhou Yiming stood in front of the team, looked back, and after confirming that there was no abnormality in the entire team, he turned around, walked to the door, and activated his energy behind the door. He sensed that there was no master outside the door, and used his hearing to listen carefully. After checking the situation outside the door and finding that there was no ambush, he opened the door cautiously, then walked out immediately, stepped aside to make way for a road, and then waved his hand: "Let's go."
After giving the order, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong, who were inside the door, clenched their swords with both hands and stood on both sides of the team, protecting the team's safety while leading the team out.
The dignitaries, the guys from Huamanlou, and the pink-headed maids from Huamanlou, the total number of people is sixty or seventy. Counting the yamen patrolling the yamen in the south of the city, the entire escort team is eighty or ninety. There was a huge team of people, and as soon as they walked out of the flower-filled gate, they attracted crowds of people on the street to watch.
"What happened?"
"Isn't that Xiaocui? Why was he arrested too?"
"Something serious must have happened, otherwise Huamanlou wouldn't have had his house confiscated!"
People on the street gathered around both sides of the road and talked a lot. Although these common people were usually afraid of the government, how could they miss this great opportunity to watch the excitement when encountering such a big scene.
For safety reasons, Zhou Yiming placed Huamianlang in the middle of the team. This would not only better protect him, but also minimize his attention-grabbing degree. After all, he had just adjusted his mentality. , If these onlookers cause a relapse, Yi Ming will face another big trouble.
The boss of Huamanlou was being held up by someone in the team and he followed the team forward. Along the way, he was looking for familiar faces in the crowd of onlookers, hoping to find someone to inform the owner behind him. If he could do it, This would somewhat alleviate his guilt, and prevent his family from being silenced after his death.
But after searching for a long time, he didn't see any familiar figure, and even if he found a reliable person, it would be difficult for him to pass on the information. After all, his jaw had been knocked off by Zhou Ming, and his mouth was severely injured. He was so injured that he couldn't say a word at all.
After the entire team walked out of Huamanlou, Zhou Yiming walked in the middle of the team, walking with Huamianlang, protecting him while checking the safety of the entire team to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
The reason why he chose this position to follow the team was after careful consideration. Although the entire team was full of people related to this case, the most important person among them was Hua Mian Lang. Even though the entire team was involved in the crime, If he is kidnapped accidentally, the final outcome of the case will not be affected as long as Huamian Lang is still in Zhou Ming's hands.
"Inspecting the yamen in the south of the city and doing errands, all the people waiting get out of the way!"
"Get out of my way. It's delaying the Yamen's errands. Even if you have many heads, I won't be able to chop them off!"
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong knew the importance of this escort mission, so they did not dare to neglect at all on the road. They kept opening roads on both sides of the team and drove away the civilians who gathered on both sides of the road to watch the excitement.
Zhou Yiming was walking on the road, looked up at the sky, and found that the sun was already in the sky, and it was already noon.
He frowned, annoyed.
Oops, I've been delayed in Huamanlou for too long. Master Han must have been waiting anxiously. Moreover, my family has not known my whereabouts since I left home yesterday. They must have been anxious.
