Zhou Ruhai was already on the verge of mental collapse driven by painful emotions. He almost burst into tears like his wife.
After suddenly hearing Yi Ming's explanation, Zhou Ruhai froze on the spot and hesitated for a moment before realizing that his son was fine and that the poisoning just now was all a misunderstanding.
If Zhou Ruhai's past temper was followed, he would definitely be furious with Yi Ming. After all, this kid just watched everyone cry in sadness, but did not say anything to stop them. He quickly clarified the misunderstanding, but stood there as if nothing had happened.
But today Zhou Ruhai has experienced too many twists and turns, and his nerves are close to numb. And more importantly, after experiencing repeated frights, he has fully realized how difficult it is for his son to come back alive. matter, so I couldn’t bear to criticize him harshly anymore. Even if he made a small mistake, Zhou Ruhai, the father, chose to turn a blind eye. After all, Zhou Yiming, a brat, was too much for the couple. It's important.
"Master, you are so bad!" Huan'er said with an aggrieved look.
Chun Ni'er also felt that what Yi Ming did this time was too unreasonable, but Yi Ming held a too important position in her heart, so instead of losing her temper and complaining, she instead checked Yi Ming's injuries and repeatedly Confirmation: "Brother, you have so many injuries on your body, are you really okay?"
Facing the concern and censure of the two little girls, Zhou Yiming smiled slightly: "You two girls are worried. I am really fine. If my life was really in danger, would I still be here talking and laughing? I would have gone there long ago. The hospital is calling for help.”
Seeing Zhou Yiming's playful smile, Huan'er and Chun Nier put their hearts in their stomachs.
Then Zhou Yiming made his mother happy with a few words, and then expressed his apologies to the servants in the yard.
Although the servants in the yard complained about Zhou Ming in their hearts, they really did not expect that Zhou Ming, as the dignified young master of the Zhou family, would actually apologize to low-status servants like them in full view of the public.
While everyone was moved, they had already forgotten all the negative emotions they had towards Zhou Ming.
Zhou Yiming took care of everyone's emotions, but did not pay attention to Lin Ajiao, as if this person was not in the yard at all.
After Lin Ajiao pushed Zhou Ming, she walked aside and waited for Zhou Ming to come over and coax her. In this way, she could forgive Zhou Ming and find a way to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two. Once things develop as she imagined, she won't have to try every means to admit her mistake. After all, admitting her mistake in front of so many people will definitely feel uncomfortable.
But what made her extremely disappointed was that Zhou Ming said sorry to everyone but ignored himself. This showed from the side that he was still angry with himself in his heart.
Although Lin Ajiao felt aggrieved, she also understood in her heart that she was not qualified to be angry with Yi Ming at this moment. After all, it was her fault before this, and it was understandable that Yi Ming treated her like this.
Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao blamed herself even more in her heart. She was very uncertain. If she sincerely admitted her mistake to Yi Ming in the past, he would forgive her.
What if I beg him to forgive me in a low voice, but he is ruthless and doesn't buy into my kindness at all, then wouldn't I be embarrassed in vain? By then, not only will she be unable to gain a foothold in the Zhou family, but once such embarrassing things are spread, she will even become the laughing stock of everyone.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Ajiao felt very anxious and didn't know how to solve the dilemma in front of her.
She accidentally glanced at her mother-in-law and wondered if she could only rely on her mother-in-law to solve the current crisis? After all, she carries a very important weight in Zhou Ming's heart, and he listens to every word she says.
Lin Ajiao closed her eyes hard and shook her head hard, trying to get rid of this cowardly thought from her mind, because she felt that asking her mother-in-law to intervene on her behalf was an act of cheating. After all, she had made Zhou Ming angry. It is you. If you let others bear the consequences in the end, it will not be justified emotionally or rationally.
Moreover, Lin Ajiao also believed that if she really did this, she might not only not be forgiven by Yi Ming, but also make him look down on her.
So unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not choose this method.
"Ming'er, you were so out of breath when you spoke that you almost scared us to death!" Seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, Zhou Ruhai slowly spoke. Moreover, his son, although he had already won over the people present through his sincere attitude, Everyone was understanding, but the first words Zhou Ruhai said were still excusing his son from the side, "Since you said you were not poisoned by the flying knife, did your process of catching that northern thief go smoothly?"
Everyone who had been in shock was immersed in the joy of their young master's escape from death. They were all whispering to each other, telling each other their desperate feelings just now, but after suddenly hearing Zhou Ruhai's question, they all shut up. Everyone was waiting attentively for Zhou Ming's reply.
After all, although my young master's life has been saved, it is still unknown whether he caught the powerful northern thief in the end. You must know that this is the top priority of this case.
Once his young master catches this powerful thief from the North, he will be the person with the greatest credit in this case. But if the reverse is true and he lets the thief escape, not only will his previous credit be wiped out, but he will also become a target of the imperial court. sinner.
After all, if one of these eight Northern spies escapes, it will be a huge threat to Huijing City. Although in the end, it is still unknown how much trouble this powerful Northern thief can cause, but the impact of this result will be huge. of.
The people in Huijing City will not think about the problem that complicated. As long as they know that a thief from the North has escaped, the people will be panicked. If there is any trouble, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Although these servants usually do menial jobs and are very stupid, they still understand such simple truths. After all, they are ordinary people themselves. How will ordinary ordinary people in the capital view this Northern spy case? They understand it all too well.
And more importantly, whether Zhou Ming performed meritorious service or was punished in this Northland spy case will have a huge impact on servants like them.
After all, once Yi Ming performs a meritorious service, servants like them will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven and get a lot of glory. On the other hand, once Yi Ming's crime is unpardonable, the Zhou family will be in ruins. They don't have to wait for their master to say anything. Maybe they just pack up and get out, because on the one hand, there is no hope of working as a servant in such a family, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being implicated by Yi Ming.
As the saying goes, separate when disaster strikes, it does not only refer to the relationship between husband and wife, but also as a master and servant.
Mrs. Zhou has been in shock ever since she was frightened by the poisonous flying knife. Although Yi Ming coaxed her during this period, after her mood stabilized a little, she did not leave Yi Ming, but hugged herself tightly. son, as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would disappear from his eyes.
Now when she heard her master ask her son how he caught the northern thief, Mrs. Zhou suddenly realized that her son had never responded directly to this most important question.
Mrs. Zhou raised her head and said to Zhou Ming with tears in her eyes: "Son, that thief from the North is so hateful. Did you catch him in the end?"
Mrs. Zhou kept hugging herself, which made Zhou Ming feel very uncomfortable, and the scene was also very unsightly in front of many servants, so he kept trying to break free from his mother's arms, but failed.
At this moment, taking advantage of my mother's opportunity to ask him a question, he decisively broke away from Mrs. Zhou's restraints, and then said with a smile: "My mother, go sit down over there and listen to me slowly telling you."
Huan'er and Chunni were very discerning. They came over immediately, supported Mrs. Zhou, brought her to the chair and asked her to sit down again.
After breaking free from the restraints, Zhou Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his father and began to tell the story of the process of killing the Supreme Taoist. During this process, he did not miss any details, but only concealed the matter of Miss Pang. .
Because he rescued Miss Pang in the first place just to preserve her reputation. If he told her story now and the servants in the family learned about it and spread it, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain? ?
Everyone in the yard, following Zhou Ming's wonderful narration, was immersed in the scene at that time.
When they heard that Zhou Yiming had gone into the woods where he couldn't see his fingers in order to chase the Supreme Taoist, everyone was terrified, because they were trembling all over when they thought of the scene at that time.
Because in this pitch-black darkness, the enemy is hiding in the dark and you are in the open. As long as the enemy has the courage to attack you, you don’t even have time to evade. And more importantly, your enemy still has He has a unique skill of throwing knives, and if he dares to chase the enemy under such circumstances, he will most likely die.
And while listening to Zhou Ming's story, everyone present suddenly realized a terrifying reality. That is, the reason why they knew that this northern thief could use flying knives was because Zhou Ming told them as a visitor. But Yi Ming didn't know about this situation at the time, which made his arrest of this northern thief even more dangerous.
Because if you are sure that your enemy will use a throwing knife, even if you don't care in your heart, you will be prepared subconsciously. But if you don't know about the enemy's special skills, you may die at any time. After all, you are unprepared. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to avoid the enemy's evil hands.
