The ferocious appearance of the servants just now frightened the coachman. He thought that he would definitely not escape today and would die here. But at the critical moment, the handsome young man who forced the carriage to stop actually relieved himself. He was extremely grateful and regarded Zhou Yiming as his savior.
Seeing Yi Ming suddenly ask this question to himself at this time, he felt puzzled. He thought to himself, what was the purpose of this young master asking this question? It doesn't matter if I tell him everything, but if what the old guy who almost killed me just now says is true, it will be troublesome.
After all, once I know the secrets of these robbers, they will definitely kill me and silence me. However, if I don’t tell the truth and make up lies, I will also face huge dangers. Moreover, if this young master is too evil-minded, after listening to my answer , and confessed to that damn old guy. Once the two confessions were inconsistent, he didn't even have the face to beg for mercy.
After thinking of all these possibilities, the coachman was very confused and didn't know what to do.
In desperation, he could only raise his head and look at Zhou Ming with pleading eyes, trying to find some useful clues on his face.
After some observation, the coachman gained a lot, because he found that although the young man in front of him had tattered clothes and many injuries on his body, his brows were full of heroism and his handsome appearance made people laugh. At first glance, I don't think he is a bad person.
Moreover, he also found that this young master was standing in the street so domineeringly, interrogating him, with no fear on his face, as if he was not afraid of being seen by passers-by. This made him very sure that this young master was definitely not robbing homes. Bad guy.
Because if he is really a bandit leader who kills people and sells goods, he will definitely not dare to act so boldly. After all, Huijing City is where the emperor lives, and the people in the yamen are not vegetarians.
If he had no good intentions, he would definitely have killed himself long ago. Even if he wanted to get something out of himself, he would first catch him in a secret place and then interrogate him in detail.
After confirming that Zhou Yiming was not a bad guy, the coachman breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly said: "This uncle, that old guy just now, after stopping my car, told me that he was robbed by gangsters and was almost killed. Beat to death.
He hoped that I could save his life and take him to the hospital for treatment. He also told me that he had a son at home who was also seriously ill and needed treatment.
After hearing what he said, I felt compassion and planned to save his life. Unexpectedly, it would lead to disaster and almost made a big mistake.
Please forgive me this time, I will never meddle in your own business again. "
After listening to what the coachman said, Zhou Yiming nodded secretly, thinking that the coachman must not have lied. That old guy Laifu would tell any lie at the critical moment in order to save his own life.
"You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt your life. I just want to know how that old guy lied to you." The expression on Zhou Ming's face relaxed a little, and he said in a gentle tone, "It's not your fault to save him. With good intentions, this mentality should still be maintained.
Thousands of mistakes are all that old guy's fault and have nothing to do with you. "
As soon as he heard that his life could be saved, the coachman suddenly regained his composure. He boldly looked at Yi Ming and asked: "Master, let me ask you boldly, who is this old guy?" What mistake did you make?"
Zhou Yiming originally wanted to let the coachman leave, and then quickly go back to the house to deal with the old pig dog. What he didn't expect was that the coachman was quite curious.
In order not to leave a shadow on the coachman, and to convince him that what he said was true, Zhou Ming could only explain: "It's a long story. He was my old housekeeper and stayed at my house. For more than ten years, my old father valued him very much.
As a result, from last night to today, my family suffered a serious change, and this old guy, instead of helping our family at the critical moment, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill me, the young master. As a result, his conspiracy was discovered by me. He was afraid of being punished, so he took the opportunity to escape.
The reason why my servants attacked you just now was entirely because they thought you were his accomplice, so they were angry with you. "
The coachman had long been conquered by Zhou Ming's charisma and magnanimity, so he had no doubts about his words.
After hearing the whole story, the coachman broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that it was lucky that the young man in front of him was sensible, otherwise his life would definitely not be saved today.
"Uncle, I really don't know there are so many reasons for this. That old guy and I really didn't know each other before. I only saved him because I felt sorry for him. I beg you to understand clearly." The coachman quickly distanced himself from Laifu. relationship, fearing that Yi Ming would suddenly doubt himself again.
Zhou Yiming smiled slightly and said in a comforting tone: "You don't have to be afraid. If I still doubted you, I wouldn't stop them from attacking you.
You also have good intentions, go home quickly, you have nothing to do here. "
The coachman had no idea that Yi Ming would let him go so easily. He thought that even if he let him go, the young master might blackmail him for a few taels of silver.
After all, his act of rescuing people just now, although he was well-intentioned, did bring trouble to the young master, and if it weren't for his special skills, the old man might have been rescued by himself.
After thanking the carriage driver profusely, he quickly got into the carriage and drove away.
Watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road, Zhou Ming took another look at the surroundings. After making sure there was no one around, he turned around and walked towards his home.
The two servants who had been harmed by Laifu breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that Laifu had finally been caught, feeling that their lives had been saved.
They came to Laifu angrily, intending to beat him up and make him angry.
But he was stopped by others: "You two, don't be presumptuous. No one is allowed to touch the young master until he has no other instructions."
Seeing this situation, the two people had no choice but to give up, but they hoped in their hearts that the young master would not be merciful and would kill this old pig and dog.
Although Laifu is old, he has been working as a housekeeper for many years, so he often eats big fish and meat, so that in his old age, he is still as fat as a pig.
Several young servants carried him with great difficulty, so that they moved very slowly. By the time Zhou Ming finished dealing with the coachman and came back, they had not yet reached the door of Zhou's house.
After everyone saw Yi Ming, they immediately gathered around him and asked him eagerly: "Master, why did you let the coachman go? After this kid goes back, if he adds jealousy and spreads what happened today, it will have a great impact on you. "
Zhou Yiming led everyone towards home and said lightly: "According to what you said, should I kill that person and silence him?"
The servants were stunned by this question. They all looked at each other and no one gave an answer.
Zhou Yiming smiled and said: "Do you really think that we are robbers who kill people and sell goods? If I really kill that person, can the court let me go? With the laws of our country of Chu, even if we have a deep hatred for you, When a person stands in front of you, you cannot kill him unless it is absolutely necessary.
Besides, I have explained everything clearly to the coachman. Even if he goes back, it is impossible for him to talk nonsense. "
Hearing what Zhou Ming said, everyone felt that it made sense. Everyone admired Zhou Ming very much. After all, he was still able to maintain his sanity at critical moments, which many people could not do.
After bringing Fu Fu back to the Zhou Mansion, everyone threw him heavily in the yard, waiting for their master and young master to deal with him.
When Zhou Yiming led his men out to capture Laifu, in order to keep Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou from getting too tired while waiting, Lin Ajiao asked the maids to move out two chairs for the two old people to sit on. Wait slowly.
Seeing Laifu lying on the ground with his eyes closed and motionless, Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou were frightened. They thought that when Zhou Ming caught him, he must have lost his mind and killed him directly. Life.
After thinking of this, the two old men broke out in a cold sweat, because if this was really the case, not only would the contribution that Zhou Ming made last night be wiped out, but he might also be sentenced to death by the court. After all, it is only right to kill someone to pay for their life, even if It's a slave's life, and it's also a human life.
Zhou Ruhai felt furious and stamped his feet angrily: "Son, you are so confused!"
"Daughter-in-law, hurry up and pack your luggage and follow Ming'er. If you are late, it will be too late!" Mrs. Zhou usually cried when something happened, but at this time, she understood better than anyone else.
Lin Ajiao panicked for a moment. She immediately walked to Zhou Ming and asked cautiously: "Ms. sir, you didn't really do something stupid, did you?"
Already tired and hungry, after stimulating his vitality, Yi Ming became even more exhausted. After entering the yard, he did not notice anything unusual about his parents. It was not until Lin Ajiao asked him that he noticed that his parents were abnormal. As well as his wife, the way she looked at him was wrong.
The servants who followed Zhou Ming back also noticed something unusual, but they were very soft-spoken for fear of getting angry, so no one dared to speak.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with something stupid? I've captured the man, is there anything else wrong?" Zhou Yiming said in confusion.
Hearing this, Zhou Ruhai couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted angrily: "Idiot, what do you want me to say about you? Can the dead and the living be the same? Now that you have killed him, we are all right." It’s unreasonable!”
After hearing these words, Zhou Yiming realized that his father and the others thought that Laifu had been killed by him, and the joke was really big.
