Zhou Yiming has never been too obsessed with money. He thinks that spending enough money is enough, so he generously decided to give Han Pingzhi one hundred thousand taels of silver. The amount was half of this huge sum. If it were replaced by an ordinary person, it would be at most He was willing to give 50,000 taels of silver to Han Pingzhi, and it was impossible to get even one more cent.
He also deeply understood in his heart that those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters, let alone be stingy. After all, only if you give up, you will get something. Today, he gave Han Pingzhi one hundred thousand taels of silver, so that he could shut his mouth and let him treat himself. There can be no complaints at all. Secondly, it can also make him understand his own mind and not dare to look down on himself. As long as the relationship between two people can be maintained, no matter how many two hundred thousand taels of silver he will get in the future, he will be able to get it easily. .
Because Zhou Ming is now a famous figure all over the world. He previously solved the case of a missing woman. The reason why he was not taken seriously by the court and was only famous among the people was because the prisoner he captured was strict with the most powerful official in the court. , are inextricably linked, and it is because of this relationship that he was not rewarded accordingly for his achievements, and even almost lost his life because of it.
But this time it’s different. The mastermind behind this Northland spy case is the Northern King Nan. This person is the enemy of the entire Chu Kingdom. In other words, this case is related to the interests of the entire Chu Kingdom. As long as it is successfully detected, In this case, both Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi are heroes of the Chu Kingdom. As long as the current emperor has a normal mind, he will not dare not reward Yi Ming and the others, even if Yi Ming had conflicts with Yan Qiu before.
Once Yi Ming and Han Pingzhi receive rewards equal to their merits, rise rapidly in the officialdom, support each other, and form an unbreakable community of interests, then money will naturally fly into their pockets without them having to work hard to make money.
"Brother Zhou, I may have said a lot to you today, and what I said may be a bit profound. You may not be able to digest it for a while, but you must keep all these words in mind. This is very important for your future development." Han Pingzhi finally finished talking about his way of serving and began to finish the work, "Because what I said today are all valuable experiences gained from practice over the years and are applicable to everyone."
Zhou Ming, who was thinking a lot, felt relieved when he saw that Han Pingzhi had finally finished speaking. He withdrew his attention, cupped his fists and raised his hands, and solemnly said: "Thank you, Brother Han, for your teachings. Even if I lose my words, Even if I lose my teeth, I will never forget it.”
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. It seems that my good intentions just now were not in vain." Han Pingzhi said seriously, his eyes filled with happiness.
The two people looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Compared with the happy mood of these two brothers, other people in the General Affairs Office were not in such a good mood. Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were thirsty and hungry, and they were in a state of almost collapse, but seeing By the time Zhou Yiming and Han Pingzhi had not finished speaking, they did not dare to act without authorization. They could only endure the pain and stick to their posts to guard the prisoners.
The situation of the government officials in the main government office was not much better. They did not dare to resent their immediate superiors, so they focused all their anger on Yi Ming, thinking that he had no discernment and saw that all the prisoners were being sent to him. , instead of quickly dealing with these criminals with Mr. Han, he dragged Mr. Han to chatter endlessly, just like a blind man.
The situation of the prisoners brought by Zhou Yiming and others was even worse. Once they entered the government office, in order to prevent them from escaping, the officials put heavy shackles on them. Each heavy shackle weighed twenty kilograms. The weight, let alone pressing it on the neck, even if it is carried in the hand, can tire people to death.
That's not all. After wearing these heavy torture instruments, the prisoners were also required to kneel on the ground and were not allowed to move for a moment.
You must know that it is already noon, the scorching sun is in the sky, and there is no shade in the Yamen compound of the General Affairs Office. All the prisoners are suffering from dry mouths and dizziness under the sun. Everyone is miserable. Among them, some of the top girls who spent a lot of money fainted several times because of their weak constitution.
But even so, they were not treated kindly by the government officials. The government officials just poured some cold water on the top girls who had fainted, and ignored them after they woke up.
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang could clearly see the tragic scene at the scene, and both of them felt worried. The arrest mission was successfully completed, and it should have been a moment of meritorious service. If these prisoners were released from the main government office, Unexpectedly, the prospects are not optimistic.
"This is not the way to go. Look at these prisoners. They have no food or drink, and are basking in the poisonous sun. They are not even made of iron." Deng Tong couldn't help but muttered to Xia Dezhang in a very low voice.
Although Xia Dezhang's position has never been as high as that of Deng Tong, his political consciousness and mental agility far surpassed that of Deng Tong.
Hearing Deng Tong's complaints, Xia Dezhang smiled slightly and said: "Inspector Deng, what time has it been? Why can't you see the situation clearly? Even though Mr. Zhou is young, his vision and mind are comparable to You and I are older.
He knew that although they had made great achievements this time, these criminals were nothing compared to Master Han.
If I can use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Mr. Han, I will have a backer in the future. "
"But these criminals are very important to this Northern spy case. Isn't Mr. Zhou afraid of screwing up this case?" Deng Tong obviously hasn't turned around yet.
"Well, Inspector Deng, you and I have worked together for many years, and today I have to say something that touches my heart." After hearing Deng Tong's words, Xia Dezhang felt angry, thinking to himself, no wonder I have never been able to sit on the patrol. It turned out that the problem with the position of prosecutor did not lie elsewhere, it was all because of Deng Tong, a fool.
This guy is so stupid, how can he be promoted? He can't vacate the position of inspector. Even if I risk my life, I can't get promoted.
But his anger returned, Xia Dezhang still said patiently: "If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. Even if all these prisoners die, it won't be your turn to worry.
Mr. Zhou is usually very loyal. Even if the problem lies with us, he will definitely take the blame for us. What's more, if something happens now, the responsibility will be all on him, and he will not be able to blame us.
Listen to my words, stand your ground honestly and don't get heatstroke. Come back and take a break from work. Let's have a good drink. "
After hearing these words, Deng Tong felt as if he was awakening from a dream, and he immediately understood: "Old Xia, it's you who is more transparent. If it weren't for you, I would have foolishly thought of a solution again!"
"Otherwise you won't be promoted, so learn from it!" Xia Dezhang patted Deng Tong on the shoulder and said with a proud smile.
After Han Pingzhi finished explaining the general truth to Yi Ming, he felt very happy and felt that the distance between the two people had become much closer.
In fact, the reason why he told Zhou Ming so much was not entirely because he wanted to shorten the distance between the two people. It also contained other purposes. The first was to make Zhou Ming understand that he had to eat today's meal. , if they don't eat, the two of them will not only make their subordinates dissatisfied, but also lay huge hidden dangers in the future development.
Second, and one of his key purposes, is to test whether Yi Ming is a person who can really do big things.
Han Pingzhi has seen all kinds of people since he entered the officialdom. Some of them are extremely capable, some are extremely popular, and some are brave and courageous. But he has never seen people who combine these advantages. Even his former boss and old mentor Yan Qiu could not do this. Only Yi Ming had all these advantages, so he decided that Yi Ming would not be an idle person in the future and could be the most solid person in his life. 's backer.
But Han Pingzhi also knows that these advantages alone cannot prove that this person can achieve great things, because people who achieve great things must be broad-minded and cannot focus on immediate interests. More importantly, they must not be greedy for money.
Until now, Han Pingzhi is still not sure whether Zhou Ming has these qualities, because he had previously received an IOU of 200,000 taels of silver from Yang Shijun, and when he handed it to Zhou Ming, his face was full of joy, and he seemed to be very happy about getting it. This amount of money was enough for him, and he did not show any intention of giving it to himself at that time.
This made Han Pingzhi very worried. He was afraid that Yi Ming was a stingy man who was greedy for money and unjust. If this was the case, even with those advantages in him, he would definitely not be a person who could achieve great things, let alone become himself. 's backer.
When Han Pingzhi just explained the truth, he had more or less hinted to Yi Ming that when he gets huge wealth, he must remember to share it with his right-hand man.
With Yi Ming's intelligence, Han Pingzhi felt that he would definitely understand his hint, and all he had to do next was wait. If Yi Ming was really a money-minded villain, he would always pretend not to understand what he said. , and swallowed all the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
On the other hand, if Yi Ming just lacks experience in this area and does not know how to share the wealth with others, then after understanding his own words, he will definitely allocate a sum of money to himself immediately.
And the size of this money proves how big Zhou Ming's ambition is.
Han Pingzhi had already made a secret calculation in his mind. If Yi Ming gave him 20,000 taels of silver, it would prove that he was not a stingy and greedy person. If the amount given was 50,000 taels of silver, it would basically prove that Monday Ming is definitely a person who can achieve great things.
As for increasing the amount, Han Pingzhi didn't dare to think about it, because even if it were him, he might only give 30,000 taels of silver to his companions. If it were one more cent, he would feel extremely distressed.
