When the servants became really impatient, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Why don't our master say anything? The young master has exposed Laifu's tricks. If the master doesn't speak up and publishes this old thing, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"Who says it's not the case? Looking at the current situation, I guess our master must be nostalgic for his old friendship and wants to let go of this old guy Laifu."
"Can't you? If you let Laifu go, where will our young master's face go? After all, Laifu just punished him to death. If you don't punish him like this, doesn't it tell us all to learn from him?"
Zhou Ming, whose senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, quickly noticed the whispers of his servants. He understood that whether it was to stabilize people's hearts or to give himself a breath, he must deal with Laifu immediately, otherwise he would have a long night and dream, and there might be more trouble. How many mistakes have been made?
Although the thing in Laifu's mind is not his opponent, he can't help himself because he has a pig teammate. His father has repeatedly failed to help him. If he comes to cause trouble this time, Zhou Yiming, his son, can't stand it. It’s really hard to handle.
Zhou Yiming glanced at his father and found that he still had no intention of coming out to deal with Laifu, so he stopped waiting and walked directly towards Laifu without any expression on his face.
He wanted to use this formation to scare Laifu's courage first, so that the rest of the matter would be easier to handle.
The servants in the family were very happy and looking forward to seeing Yi Ming come out. Everyone knows that although the young master is young and energetic, he handles things fairly and principled. As long as he punishes Laifu, this old boy will definitely not Good ending.
Lin Ajiao on the side saw Yi Ming walking out, obviously wanting to punish Laifu in place of her father-in-law.
Lin Ajiao felt that it was very inappropriate to do this. After all, the Zhou family was a famous and scholarly family, and the family rules were very strict. Things like this kind of dealing with the servants in the family should generally be done by the head of the family. Monday Ming is so blatant, disregarding his father-in-law's face, and taking over the responsibility of the head of the family. It will inevitably cause criticism from the servants of the family. If the matter is spread, people outside who don't know will definitely say that Zhou Ming is audacious and does not understand. Filial piety.
Lin Ajiao wanted to go over immediately and persuade Zhou Ming to come back, but when she thought of what Zhou Ming had said to her before, she hesitated. After all, she had just said that no matter what happened in the future, even if she was with Quan Even if the world is her enemy, she will stand by Yi Ming's side.
If she walked over and stopped Zhou Yiming at this moment, it would be equivalent to breaking her promise. If Zhou Yiming didn't appreciate her kindness and got angry instead, she wouldn't know what to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao simply thought about it. After all, Yi Ming was the eldest young master of the Zhou family, and sooner or later he would be the head of the family. Even if he temporarily took over the father-in-law's responsibilities, there was nothing wrong with it, just treat it as a training exercise. Got some practice.
Moreover, the servants in the family all respect Yi Ming very much. Even if he occasionally does something outrageous, they will not make irresponsible remarks.
Mrs. Zhou also saw what Yi Ming was planning to do, but her reaction was very rational. Instead of stopping Yi Ming, she hoped that he would deal with Laifu quickly because she felt that her son's abilities in all aspects were far beyond his capabilities. His father stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation at this time. Not only was he not taking away the rights of the head of the family, but he was solving problems for his father.
Mrs. Zhou has been married to Zhou Ruhai for so many years, and she knows his temperament very well. She knows that he is prone to be soft-hearted at critical moments, so when it comes to dealing with the issue of Laifu, it is best for him to be less involved, otherwise, it may not be solved. problem, it will be a disservice.
Originally, even if Zhou Yiming didn't step forward to solve this problem, Mrs. Zhou would personally invite him to come out. This is better, saving Mrs. Zhou the trouble.
Mrs. Zhou even felt in her heart that even her own master was looking forward to this scene, because once such a situation occurs, he can avoid taking responsibility and can also experience his son. How can he enjoy such a thing that kills two birds with one stone? Not for that.
But it was obvious that Mrs. Zhou's guess about her husband's thoughts was terribly wrong.
The reason why Zhou Ruhai didn't speak for a long time in response to Laifu's begging for mercy was just because he hadn't figured out how to deal with Laifu yet. Let him go. No one in the family would be convinced, and Zhou Ming knew that he had a bad temper. If he wanted to let Laifu go, he would definitely be furious.
Although he is still the nominal head of the family, Zhou Ruhai knows very well that his son is already better than his predecessor. He has far surpassed himself in all aspects of ability and prestige.
If you insist on going your own way and cause conflicts between father and son, the consequences will be difficult to deal with.
And if he was asked to kill Laifu, although it would be easy to do it, he really couldn't bear it. After all, Laifu had been with him for so many years, and there was no credit but hard work. He really didn't want Laifu to fall behind in the end. A miserable ending.
Just when he was hesitating about what to do, Yi Ming staggered out. Judging from his posture, Zhou Ruhai knew in his heart that he thought he was too slow in doing things and wanted to handle Laifu for him.
Zhou Ruhai will never allow Yi Ming to ignore his authority again in public, because if he is allowed to act like this, he, the head of the family, may not even have a foothold.
Moreover, he had not contributed to the arrest of Laifu just now. If he still showed no performance when dealing with Laifu at this time, he would be looked down upon by everyone in the family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruhai no longer hesitated. He took two steps forward. Before Yi Ming could speak, he looked at Laifu and said, "You bastard, I always treat you well. Why do you want to harm the young master like this? You What kind of intentions do you have? Tell me from the truth."
Seeing that his father suddenly jumped ahead of him and interrogated Laifu, Zhou Yiming suddenly laughed. He naturally understood what his father was thinking, but he just saw through it without telling him.
He stood aside obediently, wanting to see if his father had the ability to pry open Laifu's mouth and let him express his true dirty thoughts.
Originally, Zhou Yiming was quite looking forward to his father's performance, but after hearing what he said, Zhou Yiming curled his lips in disappointment, because he understood in his heart that the reason why Laifu was forced to have no choice but to ask his father. Dad begged for mercy because he wanted to play the emotional card.
But my dad was good. He was dozing off, so he gave someone a pillow. When he opened his mouth, instead of trying to scare Laifu, he first said that he was always kind to Laifu. Wasn't this a hint to Laifu that he should continue to strike while the iron was hot? Begging for mercy from yourself?
Everyone in the yard was a little disappointed when they saw that their master was going to ask Laifu. They were even more disappointed when they heard his weak words, because everyone felt that Laifu was a man of many tricks. If you were not here, If you overwhelm him in terms of momentum and logic, it will be difficult for you to subdue him and make him tell the truth.
Mrs. Zhou shook her head, sighed, and murmured in a low voice: "Oh, the master really doesn't have a long memory at all. Does he really have no idea of how capable he is? My son stepped forward to share his worries. , he doesn't even appreciate it, insists on going out to embarrass himself, this is really a damned person who can't be saved.
The two sentences he said were like tickling someone. If the truth could be found out, there would be trouble. "
Things turned out just as everyone had guessed. As the saying goes, Laifu has such a good brain. After hearing what Zhou Ruhai said, he immediately seized the opportunity and kowtowed like garlic. He kowtowed and cried while saying: "Master, this is all a misunderstanding. I have watched the young master grow up, how could I have the intention to harm him?
You know me best. I also made a big mistake by listening to the lies of outsiders and believing them to be true.
Now my intestines are green with regret. Please forgive me this time. I will never make similar mistakes again in the future, and I will do my errands faithfully.
And you see, I also received the punishment I deserved. This foot was broken. Whether it can recover in the future is unknown. "
Laifu's words were very sinister. He not only told about his past relationship with the Zhou family, but also blamed all the reasons for his mistakes on outsiders. He even didn't forget to do so in the process of begging for mercy. In order to remind my master, while letting him go, he must not forget to keep his mission.
And at the end of his words, he deliberately made things miserable, saying that his foot that was kicked off by Zhou Yiming might not be able to recover and would become disabled in the future.
The reason why he suffered a misfortune was because he knew that his master had the softest heart. Even if he couldn't let him go because of his past friendship, if he knew that he would be disabled in the future, he would not be cruel enough to punish him. , maybe out of mercy, he would send someone to take him to the medical center so that the doctor could take good care of his leg.
Zhou Yiming looked on with cold eyes and had to admire Laifu in his heart. In such a difficult situation, what he said was really powerful. Not only did he play into his father's hands, but he also made sense. If he encountered Anyone with a slightly stupider mind might have been deceived by him long ago.
The servants in the yard were originally full of hatred for Laifu, but after hearing what he said, most of them began to change their attitude towards him. Everyone felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable, and it fell into the present situation. This tragic situation can be regarded as a moderate punishment for him.
And there was even a small group of people who felt sympathy for him, feeling that it would be a bit unkind for their master to deal with him ruthlessly under such circumstances.
Even a lady like Mrs. Zhou, who was well-read in poetry and books, did not see through Laifu's conspiracy. After hearing what Laifu said, she even wanted to stand up and plead for Laifu in front of her master.
