"What you said makes sense." Zhou Ruhai blushed and admitted that what Yi Ming just said was right.
This kind of admission of mistakes was an unprecedented experience for Zhou Ruhai. After all, he had previously valued face more than his life. Even if he made a mistake in front of his family, he would remain silent and express it with practical actions. Although he admitted his mistake, he never admitted it.
Just now, Zhou Yiming said for the first time that his father was a bit naive. After Mrs. Zhou heard this, she felt nervous because she had lived with Zhou Ruhai for so long and knew his character best. How could he be outside? It's okay to suffer losses, but he loves face too much and never dares to face up to his mistakes. At this time, in front of so many people, his son pointed out his childishness. This is a very heavy blow to him. Once he becomes angry, he will definitely Looking for trouble for his own son.
The crisis facing her son had just been resolved. If his words caused him to get angry again, Mrs. Zhou really didn't know if she still had the strength and energy to protect her son.
Just when Mrs. Zhou was thinking about whether to send Lin Ajiao to mediate, she suddenly saw Zhou Ruhai admitting his mistake to his son with a blushing face. In Mrs. Zhou's opinion, this was even rarer than the blossoming of the iron tree.
Mrs. Zhou patted Lin Ajiao's hand, not to mention how happy she was. She couldn't help but mutter to Lin Ajiao: "Daughter-in-law, did you hear this? Your father actually talked to you in front of so many people. I must admit that I was wrong, this is simply the sun rising in the west!
To tell you the truth, I have been married to him for so many years. In our daily life, we have had many conflicts. Although I am petty and most of the conflicts are caused by me, your father-in-law also makes mistakes sometimes. He is too face-conscious. No matter how big a mistake he has made, he will never admit it with his mouth. At most, he will tell you with actions that he has repented. "
Lin Ajiao was also worried about Zhou Ming just now. She was also surprised to see her father-in-law being so open and honest. She thought to herself, doesn't her father-in-law love face the most? This is totally out of character for him.
After listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, Lin Ajiao's thoughts were further confirmed. Her father-in-law's unexpected behavior today must be that Zhou Yiming worked too hard last night, so she couldn't bear to get angry with him shamelessly.
The servants in the yard had never seen the face of their master before. As they looked at each other, they all thought in their hearts, what happened to their master? Why is something abnormal?
"What happened next?" After Zhou Ruhai admitted his mistake in front of so many people, his face felt like it was on fire. He knew that everyone's eyes were on him, so in order to divert everyone's attention, he quickly continued to ask Zhou Ming.
Zhou Yiming was also aware of his father's abnormal behavior, but these were trivial matters, insignificant to him.
"At that time, my colleagues in the yamen and I weighed the pros and cons and made the decision to ask for help from the yamen of the General Affairs Office. But when I walked out of the gate of Huamanlou alone, I was still very nervous." Zhou Ming Calmly, he continued, "First of all, I don't have enough confidence in going to the General Affairs Office to ask for help. Just like what you just said, dad, if this Han Pingzhi is a despicable person who is jealous of talents, then I will All the plans I had with my colleagues came to nothing.
After all, even if this guy surnamed Han will not harm me because of his strict pursuit of this relationship, he will use various means to exclude the people who inspect the Yamen in the south of the city and go alone under the temptation of huge benefits. Enjoy the credit of catching the thieves in the Northern Kingdom.
When the time comes, everyone will be a swordsman and I will be a fish. We will not have as much power as each other, and it will be almost impossible to resist.
In addition to worrying about this, after leaving Huamanlou, I was also worried about the safety of my brothers. After all, although I caught Hua Mian Lang and destroyed his martial arts cultivation, did he have any contact with other people? We did not know the communication channel through which the thieves were contacted at the time. "
Everyone in the yard, following Zhou Ming's narration, fell into the situation at that time. They were all thinking that if they were put in Zhou Ming's position at that time, they would be in this dangerous situation with an uncertain future. Under the circumstances, will you have the courage to resolutely walk out of Huamanlou to find hope?
Obviously, this question did not confuse them for too long, because everyone is self-aware of themselves, and they all understand in their hearts that even if they have Zhou Ming's martial arts cultivation, at that critical moment, they will escape and find someone. Hiding somewhere, ensuring your own safety first.
The reason for doing this is actually very simple, because going to Han Pingzhi for help is inherently full of huge risks. If you are not careful, you will never return, and more importantly, the Huamen Tower at that time was already a danger land, if these northern thieves have secret communication channels, the other seven thieves who are at large will definitely come to rescue them desperately once they learn that their companions have been captured. After all, their whereabouts and hiding places are known to their captured companions. .
If they just watch their companions being captured without taking any rescue action, they will soon make the same mistake again and be eliminated by the Great Chu court.
Therefore, under the situation at that time, whether it was to bravely go out to ask for help, or to stay in Huamanlou and wait for help, both options were a dead end. For most of the people in the yard, they were just ordinary people, living They only want to have enough food and clothing in the world, and there is no other pursuit besides that. So if they are placed in the situation at that time, they will only find reasons to hide and save their lives. After the limelight is over, even if the court blames them, as long as they They were content without fearing for their lives.
Precisely because they couldn't do it themselves, they admired Yi Ming's heroic behavior even more.
After Zhou Ruhai listened to the worries mentioned by Zhou Ming, he stroked his beard and thought for a while. After a while, he said: "As you said, your situation at that time was really dangerous. If you are not careful, you may fall into It’s really dangerous to reach a point of no return!”
Zhou Yiming smiled and nodded, thinking that through his story, his father could realize how critical the situation was at that time, and that what he just said was not in vain.
"Although I had so many worries at the time, I knew that hesitation and fear were useless. The only way to save myself and my brothers was to fight to the death." Zhou Ming continued to finish what he had just said, "Leave The buildings were full of flowers and I was walking on the street. It was already late at night. Although there was a moon in the sky, I could see the road under my feet clearly with the moonlight.
But this didn't make me feel much more relaxed. Instead, it made me even more nervous because I didn't know if a person would suddenly come out from the roadside and attack me unexpectedly. "
Everyone in the yard held their breath and listened to Zhou Ming's story carefully, for fear of missing a word or a detail.
"After arriving at the government office, I met Han Pingzhi. Just as you were worried, dad, this man surnamed Han gave me a slap on the wrist as soon as we met, and frightened me with the things I had done to offend Yan Qiu." At this point, There was a look of pride on Zhou Yiming's face, because not only was he not afraid at all, but he was calm and calmly handled the crisis at hand.
After hearing this, everyone in the courtyard realized that their master's worries were not unnecessary. This man named Han was indeed not a good person.
When Mrs. Zhou heard that Han Ping was embarrassing her son, she suddenly became anxious. She stood up from her chair and said to Zhou Ming from a distance: "Son, what did this man named Han do to you at that time? Don't be afraid of worrying about your mother. Be sure to tell the truth.
If you had suffered a loss and been wronged at that time, your father and I would fight our lives to seek justice for you. "
Lin Ajiao, who was standing aside, was worried about Zhou Ming at first, but when she saw the proud look on his face, she immediately relaxed. She understood that the reason for Zhou Ming's expression must have been... It was at that time that he performed very well in dealing with this dilemma.
Zhou Ruhai's heart sank, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. However, unlike Mrs. Zhou, he would not show all his inner emotions. He just stared at Zhou Ming and asked seriously: "Who's surnamed Han?" Did he do anything to you?"
After hearing this question, Zhou Yiming did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around with interest and found that everyone in the family looked worried about him.
While he was deeply moved, he also couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, because the evil man that his family worried about would attack him has now become his life-and-death friend, and as long as he is loyal to him in the future, he might be loyal to him. There are also great uses.
"You're talking. Do you want to kill me?" Seeing that Yi Ming didn't speak, but looked around, Zhou Ruhai couldn't help but said.
Zhou Yiming smiled slightly and said calmly, "Dad, please be patient and let me think about how to describe the situation at that time.
Let me think about it, oh, by the way, he shouted at me at that time, trying to scare me.
Can I be intimidated by him? I thought about it at that time. I walked and sat upright and had no flaws on my body that could be used as an excuse for him to deal with me. So I was not afraid and immediately hit him back in person, which made him speechless.
After a while, the boy surnamed Han not only turned his anger into a smile, but also became very enthusiastic towards me, praising me for being a formidable young man.
Until the end, I didn't understand whether he was influenced by my words or whether he didn't have the guts to attack me in the first place. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou felt a little calmer. She sat back on the chair again, feeling quite proud. She felt that her son was so outstanding and a person who could do great things.
