Knowing that the dangers that Zhou Ming was facing at that time were so great, everyone in the yard was frightened. At the same time, everyone held their breath. Everyone wanted to know earlier what methods Zhou Ming used to defeat all kinds of dangers. , and finally caught the northern thief.
Zhou Yiming did not keep everyone waiting for too long. He calmly and leisurely told the whole process of how he escaped the fatal attack of the flying knife and how he killed the supreme Taoist from his horse in the thin line between life and death. come out.
Zhou Ruhai was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he learned that his son was almost hit by a flying knife. He knew very well that under such circumstances, even if Zhou Ming was scratched by the flying knife, he would definitely die. , after all, there is no cure for the poison on that flying knife.
Even if Yi Ming reacted quickly, made a decisive decision, and used a knife to cut off the flesh of the wound to prevent the poison from spreading throughout his body, it would have been difficult for him to save his life because there was a thief named Supreme Taoist who was eyeing him. Yi Ming was chasing him so hard at that time. Embarrassed, this thief will definitely not let Zhou Ming go easily.
Zhou Ruhai looked at his son in front of him and suddenly had an unreal feeling. Only now did he understand why his son said that he came back alive just now because of good luck.
Zhou Ruhai looked at the sky, silently thanking the ancestors of the Zhou family.
Mrs. Zhou was sitting on a chair, stunned by what Zhou Ming had just said. She couldn't say a word, she just stared at her son, afraid that he would suddenly disappear, and even more afraid of what she saw. Everything is a dream.
Lin Ajiao learned that after Zhou Ming went through so many dangers in order to capture the Supreme Taoist, her spirit almost collapsed. Not only was she no longer angry with Zhou Ming, she even wanted to rush to him and kneel down to beg for mercy. In this candid way, I won the forgiveness of my husband.
Originally, Lin Ajiao couldn't lose her face to do this, because after all, there were many servants in the yard. If she did such a humble act in front of them, even if she could win Zhou Ming's forgiveness, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Zhou family in the future. , because by then her dignity as a master has been lost, and it will be difficult for her to hold her head up in front of her servants.
But now, after hearing about Yi Ming's narrow escape experience, she felt that none of this mattered anymore. She even secretly decided in her heart that as long as she could win back Yi Ming's heart, she would be willing to die even if she was allowed to die.
Although everyone in the yard knew that Zhou Ming had finished telling his most dangerous experience last night, everyone saw that he had no intention of stopping, so they knew that his story was not over yet, so everyone suppressed their excitement. , continue to listen to him patiently.
Zhou Yiming then told many things, such as how he returned to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office and reported the progress of the task to Han Pingzhi, and how, with the help of Han Pingzhi, he brought the almost unrecognizable body of the Supreme Taoist back to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. His whole story finally came to an end when Han Pingzhi hosted a banquet for these meritorious officials.
"I was afraid that if I didn't go home for such a long time, you would worry about me, and I was anxious to tell you the good news about my meritorious service, so I hurried home without even taking a few bites of the celebration banquet." Zhou Ming At the closing stage, I couldn't help but sigh, "I thought that after returning home, I would be waiting for the smiling faces and blessings of my relatives, but I never expected that I did not enjoy the smiling faces and blessings, and was almost beaten to death. If I had known this, I might as well have had a big meal and drank at the General Affairs Office before going home. That way, at least I wouldn't have been hungry and beaten."
After saying these words, Zhou Yiming remembered the misunderstood scene and immediately became extremely angry, and the expression on his face also changed.
As the saying goes, listen to the words. Although Zhou Ming's words did not blame anyone by name, they sounded very harsh to Zhou Ruhai. After all, although it was said just now that the culprit who framed Zhou Ming was Laifu, he did not blame Laifu. Zhou Ruhai, who believed his words deeply, was obviously the best accomplice.
Because if he hadn't gone to war after hearing those words and threatened to impose family laws on Zhou Ming, the rest of the Zhou family would not have taken Laifu's words seriously at all. After all, this kid usually can only coax Apart from being happy, his relationship with other people is not good, and everyone knows his character very well, so his words have no credibility at all.
Thinking of the grievances his son had suffered just now, Zhou Ruhai felt his heart twisting, feeling both ashamed and regretful. Faced with his son's doubts, he originally wanted to turn around and get into the study and hide, but he thought about it for a while. Afterwards, I felt that it was really embarrassing to do this, so I could only bite the bullet and said with a smile:
"Ming'er, it turns out that it was all a misunderstanding. I didn't expect that you went to Huamanlou to complete such an arduous task. We all really blamed you wrongly.
And you should have said these things earlier, so that we wouldn't misunderstand you. This is better. As a father, I almost became a sinner for the ages. "
Zhou Yiming smiled slightly and said sarcastically: "Dad, I wanted to speak, but did you give me a chance? You all looked at me like you wanted to kill me with your own hands. Even if I wanted to say what was in my heart, I couldn't. I was scared back by you!"
Zhou Ruhai was speechless and stood there awkwardly, unable to say a word. His face turned red and white, and finally became bloodless.
"You deserve it! Your own son doesn't believe it, but you believe the words of an outsider. Even if our son contradicts you, you are asking for it!" Although Mrs. Zhou had doubted Yi Ming's innocence at the beginning, in her heart, she I have never blamed Zhou Ming, I just hope that he can correct his mistakes to avoid making big mistakes in the future.
So during the period when Yi Ming was misunderstood, she had been trying to protect him.
Now that she saw her son Xue being wronged, Mrs. Zhou finally felt proud, so she walked to Zhou Yiming, held his arm, pretended to be angry, and helped her son teach her old man a lesson.
The servants in the yard began to deeply reflect on themselves at this moment. They all felt that their behavior just now was too stupid. They were just like grass on the wall, falling in the wind, without any independent opinion at all.
Most of them have watched Zhou Ming grow up, and they know his temper and temperament very well. However, when Laifu and his master set the pace just now, they were suddenly blinded. , so they also started making noise together. Looking back on the scene at that time, they wished they could find a crack in the ground and crawl in, because they felt that they really had no face to see the young master.
Among these people, there are a few knowledgeable people who know that there must be a cause and a result, and they must be brave enough to bear the mistakes they have made. After all, they will still be working in the Zhou Mansion from now on. If they cannot get the forgiveness of their young master, they will have to bear the consequences. It's hard to live a good life.
After these servants figured this out, they immediately stood up from the crowd, walked to Zhou Ming, knelt down with a plop, admitted their mistakes frankly, and begged Zhou Ming for forgiveness.
"Master, I deserve to die. I misunderstood you along with everyone just now. I also complained a few words casually. Please forgive me, Master."
"Young master, it's all my fault that I'm so stupid and have no brains at all. I actually believe what others say to slander you. You deserve to be damned."
"Master, I did something wrong just now. I accept the punishment and you must not show mercy!"
Zhou Yiming raised his eyes and looked at these courageous servants, admiring them very much in his heart. Instead of being angry with them, he actually wanted to praise them: "Well, you dare to admit your mistakes. This is better than those cowards.
Don’t worry, I will never blame you, and not only that, I will also promote you in the future and give you a salary increase! "
When these courageous servants decided to admit their mistakes to Zhou Yiming, they felt that he would definitely not let them go easily. When they heard his words, these people were all dumbfounded. They raised their heads and looked at Zhou Yiming. Ming, stunned.
After a while, one of them realized what he was doing and quickly kowtowed in thanks.
"Thank you, Master, for not blaming us. We will definitely do a good job in the future and work as cows and horses for you, the old man!"
The few remaining people followed suit and quickly expressed their gratitude to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Ruhai stood aside. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod. He thought that his son has a bigger mind than me. If he is allowed to be the head of the family in the future, the family will definitely be well managed. Alas, it seems that I am really a What an old fool, I have such a good son, but I don't know how to cherish him, and I almost killed him. Fortunately, I stopped my hand in the end, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.
Most of the servants who had been hesitating in the distance saw that after those few people admitted their mistakes, not only were they not punished, but they gave their young masters a compliment. These people were overjoyed and hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground, apologizing. , while praying for forgiveness from his young master.
With a smile on his face, Zhou Yiming waved his hand and forgave everyone. At the same time, he also announced that he would reward everyone who went out to look for him with a tael of silver.
After hearing the news, all the servants present jumped up happily, because they might not be able to save a tael of silver in a year while working in the Zhou family.
Seeing her son spending so generously, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel a little worried, because the Zhou family's family situation had declined at this time, and their financial strength was not as good as before. Rewarding each servant with one tael of silver was a huge expense, and she didn't know , can the family come up with such a large sum of money all at once?
"Ming'er, don't get carried away. Our family's situation is not as good as it used to be. Where can you tell me to get so much reward money for you?" Mrs. Zhou pulled Yi Ming's sleeve and pulled him to her. In front of him, he whispered in his ear.
Zhou Yiming patted his mother on the shoulder and said with a relaxed smile: "Mom, what can I say to you? My son has grown up now. Of course, I have to find a way to fulfill the promise I made. I will not let him. You old man paid for it."
