Every time Han Pingzhi gave him advice before, Zhou Yiming cherished it very much and never expressed any objection. However, this time, he strongly disagreed with Han Pingzhi's words, because when he forced the person to eat the chair, he had enough Reasonable. After all, if he wants to achieve great things, he must establish his prestige in Huijing City. Even if he cannot make everyone fear him, he must at least let the people at the emperor's feet know that he, Yi Ming, exists. .
"Brother Han, I will keep your advice in mind, but this time, I don't fully agree with what you said." Zhou Ming's words were very appropriate, soft yet strong, and he did not openly say that Han Pingzhi's words were wrong. There is no compromise and no tolerance for admitting mistakes.
Han Pingzhi was stunned. Zhou Ming had obeyed his words before, but this time he suddenly didn't buy it, which made him a little uncomfortable. After all, when he said those words, he was thinking about Zhou Ming completely, and there was no bad intention in it.
"Brother Zhou, don't get me wrong. I said this entirely for your sake. I am afraid that you will suffer from these people in the future. Don't worry too much and think about other aspects." Han Pingzhi knew in his heart that at this time Zhou Yiming must not be allowed to misunderstand him, otherwise all his previous efforts to bring them closer will be in vain.
Zhou Yiming smiled and nodded: "Brother Han, are you that confused? You do it for my own good, of course I know, but when doing this, I have fully weighed the pros and cons, and I am not acting out of emotion."
"Oh." Han Pingzhi stroked his beard and responded casually, but he didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant, so he didn't say much and waited patiently for him to continue.
"Brother Han, you also know that I have only entered the officialdom for a short period of time," Zhou Ming said slowly and unhesitatingly what was in his heart. "I don't have much background. Although my family comes from a scholarly family, my family is of high status." I have been in trouble since I was a child. In order to help me grow up, my old father broke his heart and ruined his future. Now he is just a small official in the court and has no ability to do anything for me. paving."
Han Pingzhi listened quietly. He knew something about Zhou Ming's family background. After all, Zhou Ming had solved the case of a missing woman before. Although the court treated the matter coldly, the people were very fond of Zhou Ming. He is considered a great hero who eliminates harm for the people. His popularity and popularity even surpassed that of the Yellow Emperor in a short period of time.
He also knew that Yi Ming's family was in a difficult situation. Although they were not like those poor people who scrimped on food and clothing and had nothing to eat, compared with the families of officials, their family was considered extremely poor. After all, their family's wealth was almost spent. Well, before, the whole family only relied on his old father's salary. Needless to say, it was difficult.
It is impossible to get ahead with such a family background, but Han Pingzhi is still very confused. What is the connection between what Yi Ming said and him letting the man eat the chair?
"I have heard about this," Han Pingzhi responded, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, we are brothers now. If you have any difficulties at home in the future, just ask, as long as I have a kind of porridge to drink, I will never let the two of you The old man is hungry.”
Originally, Yi Ming was in high spirits and wanted to tell him the reason why he let the man eat the chair. However, after hearing Han Pingzhi's words, he was stunned and his eye circles were a little hot. If a servant hadn't happened to pass by, Tears almost fell from his eyes.
This is not because Zhou Yiming is short-sighted, but because he can't stand others being kind to him. Although he also knows in his heart that Han Pingzhi has an agenda for treating him like this, but what does it matter?
There is no love without reason in the world. If others have plans for you, at least you prove that you are valuable. As for whether you will be used by others, it all depends on whether your brain is strong enough.
In order to be afraid of being discovered by Han Pingzhi, Zhou Yiming quickly took advantage of the opportunity of coughing to calm down. Then he found an excuse to get sand into his eyes and rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, thus covering up his state of mind.
Han Pingzhi saw all this and couldn't help but feel happy. As a veteran of the officialdom, he was best at observing people's emotions. Although Zhou Ming had covered it up quickly enough just now, he still noticed Zhou Ming's strange behavior for the first time. , and judging from his performance, the reason why his eye circles were red and he almost shed tears was because he must have been moved by himself.
Han Pingzhi finally felt at ease mentally. He was very convinced that the relationship between him and Zhou Ming was unbreakable. Unless something unexpected happened in the future, no one could destroy their friendship.
"Brother, since you know the situation of my family, I won't say anything more." Zhou Ming calmed down and continued, "Firstly, I have no support from my family, and secondly, I have no connections in the court. I want to rely on this The conditions to achieve great success and accomplish great things are simply more difficult than reaching the sky!
You also know what kind of results I got when I solved the case of a missing woman.
If I keep letting others take advantage of me without fighting back, no matter how great my achievements will be in the future, the court will not take me seriously.
So today in Huamanlou, when that man provoked me, I decided to deal with him and use him to establish my prestige. As long as this matter spreads, no one in Huijing City will dare to look down on me again. .
As the saying goes, there is no poison and no husband. Even those in the court who dislike me will be very afraid of me after knowing this matter. When I perform meritorious services, they will never dare to stand in the way or hinder me. Get promoted and make a fortune. "
Han Pingzhi kept nodding his head while listening to Zhou Ming's speech. The more he listened, the more he felt that what Zhou Ming said made sense. With his current connections and background, it was difficult for him to be reused by the court. He wanted to make some achievements. Dangerous moves must be made, and killing people to establish prestige is a very good way. This move can not only knock down the mountain and frighten the cowards in the court, but also further make Zhou Ming famous.
Even if the chair-eating person dies in the end, he can help Zhou Ming fix a crime on the chair-eating person and make him more than worthy of death.
Thinking about it this way, Yi Ming's move to establish his power can really be said to kill two birds with one stone. Even Han Pingzhi himself might not have been able to come up with such a coup in the circumstances at that time.
"Good brother, it seems that I have made things easy for you. You can come up with such a clever trick in a short period of time to deal with people who provoke you. It seems that your ability to adapt to changes is far better than mine. You are truly a hero. Young man, I really feel inferior to my brother."
Han Pingzhi praised from the bottom of his heart, and he had more admiration for Zhou Ming in his heart. As for the previous thought of looking down on Zhou Ming, it had long since disappeared from his mind.
Zhou Yiming smiled slightly, and did not take the praise as a tonic. He drank it all. After all, he had a clear understanding of his abilities. Even if he had great ambitions, he could only hide them in his heart. At the moment, he could only do what he wanted. That is, grow up and accumulate strength.
"Brother, why should you be so self-effacing! These methods are all just a trick. Brother's methods are truly brilliant. As a brother, I ask you to teach me more in the future. Otherwise, just those detours in the officialdom will be enough." It’s enough for brothers to go away for a lifetime.”
The two people complimented each other unconsciously.
"Good brothers, let's stop praising each other here and get down to our seats as soon as possible, otherwise all the good things will be eaten up by others." Han Pingzhi said happily.
Before Yi Ming could say anything, Han Pingzhi pulled him and headed straight to the back hall. The two of them were intimate along the way, talking and laughing. If an unsuspecting person saw them, they would think that they were really brothers.
The house in the back hall of the General Affairs Office was not big, so it was impossible to hold all the banquets. So after thinking about it for a while, the person in charge placed the banquet in the courtyard.
When Han Pingzhi and Zhou Yiming came to the back hall yard, five banquet tables had been set up in the yard. Each table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, various delicacies, and there was no shortage of fine wine.
However, before Yi Ming and Han Pingzhi sat down at the table, even if they had delicacies in front of them, their police officers did not dare to move.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong led their men and stood beside the table, looking at the dishes on the table. Everyone was salivating with saliva.
As the leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city, Deng Tong usually saw some big events, such as the weddings and funerals of friends in the officialdom. When he attended the ceremony, he also had some banquets, but the level of luxury was not at all comparable to today's. The banquet is comparable.
Looking at the delicacies and game on the table in front of him that he had never seen before, Xia Dezhang said to Deng Tong in a hopeless manner: "Inspector Deng, let alone eating these dishes, I have never seen them, so setting a table like this The banquet must be very expensive, right? Why is it so expensive?"
Xia Dezhang stretched out five fingers and gestured in front of Deng Tong.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Deng Tong asked, pretending to be very knowledgeable.
Xia Dezhang nodded.
"Dream your spring and autumn dreams!" Deng Tong said without mercy, "Have you seen the plate of emerald crystal elbows in the middle of the table?"
Xia Dezhang looked at a large plate in the middle of the table. On the plate was a large elbow weighing five or six kilograms. The skin of the elbow was crystal clear, as if it were transparent. People can see the meat and bones on the elbow from the outside, and Even if you can't smell it, just by looking at it, you can tell that this dish must be delicious.
"You saw it, what's wrong?" Xia Dezhang turned around and asked stupidly.
"Just for this emerald crystal elbow, the total cost of materials and labor is more than fifty taels." Deng Tong said pretendingly. He had already lost all face in front of his subordinates today, and it was not easy to catch a finder. How could he let go of the opportunity to save face so easily.
