Laifu, who had been telling lies before, now felt much more magnanimous when he saw that he was already dead. He puffed up his chest and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Master, now that things have happened, I have nothing to say. After all, I committed the crime." The mistake was so serious that it was not worthy of forgiveness.
I just hope that you, young master, because of the sweat I have shed for the Zhou family in the past, can give me a happy death when you attack me, and don't make my death too painful. "
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
All the servants in the yard felt a little sad when they heard Laifu's words. Although he had always been domineering over them when he was in power, after all, they had worked together and now they were about to confront him. He was separated from yin and yang, and everyone really couldn't accept it for a while.
Although Lin Ajiao is smart, she has been a kind girl since she was a child. So when she heard Laifu's words, she couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart. But she soon realized that sympathy for such people means to show sympathy for good people. crime.
She immediately controlled her emotions and gave up the idea of asking for mercy for Laifu.
Zhou Ming smiled and nodded. He admired Laifu's performance at the moment. If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he might have let Laifu go. After all, this old guy no longer poses any threat to him. .
However, the current situation does not allow him to do this. After all, the eyes of the servants in the family are all looking at him. If he is merciful and does not deal with Laifu ruthlessly, the remaining servants in the family may suffer in the future. Day by day, it causes even greater trouble.
At this moment, the last value left in Laifu's body is to kill him as a warning to others.
However, it will be very difficult to decide how to deal with Laifu. After all, if the attack is too harsh, the servants in the family will become cold-hearted and feel that their master is ruthless and merciless.
But on the other hand, it will not work if you strike too lightly. That will make the remaining servants in the family think that the master is easy to bully, and they will become even more lawless.
Lin Ajiao is aware of the current predicament that Yi Ming is in, but can't think of a good way to help him. After all, if Laifu's attitude continues to be bad, then there will be no scruples about being cruel to him, but The bad thing is that his attitude suddenly changed, and he was very cooperative with Zhou Ming's interrogation. Even a ruthless person would find it difficult to be ruthless when faced with such an attitude.
Lin Ajiao couldn't think of a way, so she could only stand there and worry.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yiming finally made up his mind and thought of a way to deal with Laifu.
"Laifu, you have been in our family for so many years. You must think that you have no merit but hard work." Zhou Ming suddenly said with a serious expression, "Now if I don't give you a chance, I will hit you hard. , you must be dissatisfied, thinking that we, the masters, only see the mistakes you have made, and turn a blind eye to your previous benefits."
Originally, the servants in the yard thought that Yi Ming would kill Lai Fu immediately. After all, Lai Fu had confessed to his crimes. He had even given up his will to live and only asked Yi Ming to let him die happily. a little.
But what they never expected was that instead of taking action rashly, Zhou Yiming said some impassioned and touching words.
These words impressed the servants, and they also felt that Yi Ming was a kind and righteous person, because in this situation, an ordinary owner would have cut Laifu into pieces long ago, but Zhou Yiming was still able to maintain his rationality, remembering how kind Laifu was to the Zhou family in the past. Being able to work under such a master, these servants all considered it their blessing.
Laifu, who originally wanted to die, was already despairing and had lost interest in everything in the world. However, after hearing what Yi Ming said, his eyes suddenly shone with tears and he was so moved that he almost cried. come out.
He had been riding beside his master for many years, and his master had always regarded him as an ox. Although he respected him on the surface, he had never treated him as a human being. When he heard the young master speak his true feelings, he Suddenly, I felt a sense of regret, feeling that if I had followed the young master before, I should not have ended up like today.
Laifuda boldly said: "Master, you are right. I feel wronged and unwilling to accept it, but even so, what can I do? Will you forgive me?
Young Master, you and I are both smart people. We don’t need to explain many things so clearly. You and I both understand. There is nothing you and I can do about the current situation. I don’t believe that you can give me a chance to change my ways! "
When Laifu said this, he did not really intend to find a way out for himself, because he knew that he had sinned deeply, and even if the Zhou family gave him a way out, he would not have the shame to live in this world.
The reason why he said this was to test how courageous Zhou Ming was.
Zhou Yiming suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Give you a chance to change your ways? I'm sorry, you don't deserve it.
But in order to prevent you from saying that we, the masters, are ruthless, I will give you a chance today. If I count to five and you can walk out of the gate from where you are, I will let you live. For Forget the mistakes you made in the past.
From now on, whether you live or die outside, it has nothing to do with my Zhou family. "
After hearing these words, Laifu stared at Zhou Ming with wide eyes. He didn't believe his ears. Zhou Ming was actually in full view of everyone. Did he really want to give himself a way out? Doesn't he really understand that doing this will make other servants in the family feel disobedient?
After a brief shock, Laifu suddenly came back to his senses and thought that he was still too naive in front of the young master. How could he want to let him go? He was obviously playing tricks on himself.
The young master's own martial arts cultivation level is so high, even if he is not seriously injured, it is impossible to escape in front of him, not to mention that now one of his legs is disabled and his body is seriously injured. It was simply wishful thinking to escape from under his nose in this situation.
Laifu sighed in his heart, Master, I sincerely repent, why do you have to come up with such a trick to deal with me? If you want my life, just take it.
The servants in the yard were very simple-minded and thought that when Yi Ming said those words, he really wanted to let Laifu go.
On the one hand, they are happy for Laifu, but on the other hand, they also feel that there are some problems with the decision made by the young master. After all, if Laifu is not punished, it will be difficult to convince the public, and even encourage them, honest people, to do more in the future. It is a crime to commit adultery.
Just when everyone was talking about Zhou Ming's decision, Laifu suddenly laughed up to the sky, and then looked at Zhou Ming and said with a bitter look on his face: "Master, I sincerely repent at this moment, why do you use those tricks for entertainment?" And me?
With your ability, even if I am twenty years younger and have no injuries on my body, I still cannot escape from your hands. If you want to kill me, just come to me and die in your hands. I will die without regrets. "
At this time, everyone present suddenly understood that what Yi Ming just said was a trap. By doing this, he could not only give himself a good reputation, but also achieve his goal of killing Laifu. Kill two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They felt that it was really inappropriate for their young master to use such cruel methods on a dying person.
Huan'er and Chunni were also affected by Laifu's words. They walked quietly to Lin Ajiao and lowered their voices and said, "Young lady, is what Laifu said true? Is the young master really capable of such a shameful act?" The means of light?"
"You two, don't talk nonsense." No matter what others say, Lin Ajiao always believes in Yi Ming's character, so she stops the two little maids from talking nonsense, "I know the young master's character best, and he must not have finished speaking. , if you don’t believe it, you two will find out if you continue reading.”
Huan'er and Chun Ni'er exchanged glances with each other. Both of them were doubtful, but the young mistress had said so, so they could only stand aside obediently and wait patiently for the next development of the situation.
Everyone in the yard thought that after Zhou Ming's conspiracy was exposed, he would be so ashamed that he would even feel ashamed to see others and hide in the backyard.
But what disappointed them was that not only did Zhou Ming not show any strange expression, but he was calm and unflustered.
"Laifu, I haven't finished speaking yet. Isn't it a bit disrespectful for me, the young master, that you think I'm using conspiracy against you so early?" Zhou Ming stared at Laifu without getting angry. Self-prestige.
Laifu's face was full of surprise: "Master, you mean, I guessed wrong?"
"Big mistake." Zhou Ming said firmly.
Zhou Yiming turned around, walked to the steps of the study, stood still, reached out from the servant next to him, took the iron rod for implementing family law, held it in his hand, then turned around and looked at Laifu: "Did you see it? I Stand still here and count to five. When you count to five, throw the iron bar at you.
If you have the ability to dodge this iron rod, or crawl out of the gate before I count to five, I will stop you and leave you to fend for yourself. "
After hearing these words, people in the yard suddenly realized that it turned out that Yi Ming really wanted to let Laifu go, but whether Laifu could save his life in the end all depended on his own ability and luck.
Laifu stared at Zhou Ming's face for a while. After confirming that he was not joking, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Because only at this moment did he fully understand what a good master he had met, but in this situation, he didn't know how to cherish it, and he still had evil thoughts. He really didn't know the blessings in the midst of blessings.
Lin Ajiao admired Zhou Ming from the sidelines. She really didn't expect that Zhou Ming could come up with such a brilliant idea.
