"I hope this is what you really think and you are not trying to trick me." Lin Ajiao said meaningfully.
Zhou Yiming scratched his head, feeling a little unhappy, because based on his understanding of Lin Ajiao, the lady would not wake him up from his deep sleep for no reason. Could something have happened? ?
Although he had this doubt in his heart, he did not show it. Instead, he pretended to be very unhappy and deliberately teased Lin Ajiao: "Madam, if you ask me, it's your fault this time. I did it yesterday By now at night, I was so tired that I almost fell asleep. I finally fell asleep. You didn't let me sleep peacefully. You woke me up after I didn't sleep for long. What do you mean by this? ah?"
"Am I that ignorant?" Lin Ajiao's expression suddenly turned serious, "I'm telling you, I woke you up because something big happened at home."
Zhou Yiming was suddenly stunned, thinking that before I went to bed, I had already dealt with all the things that needed to be dealt with. Under such circumstances, what other big things could happen at home?
Could it be that the situation in the Northland spy case has changed? Did the imperial court send someone to question him?
Impossible, this matter has been handed over to Han Pingzhi for further processing. With his ability, he will definitely be able to handle this matter flawlessly, and there will be no flaws at all.
But Fu Fu has been destroyed by himself. No matter how smart he is, he will not be able to cause any big waves.
And besides these two things, what other big things will happen at home?
Zhou Yiming was puzzled, so he raised his head and looked at Lin Ajiao, asking her to continue talking.
Lin Ajiao understood this look, so she continued: "When you fell asleep just now, I went to talk to my mother-in-law for a while, but Chun Ni'er rushed in and said that a group of people came to our house. It looked like They all looked fierce.
After they came, they asked to see you by name. Even if our master went out to meet them in person, they would not accept it.
My mother-in-law and I discussed it and felt that this group of people had come in a strange way. We were afraid that they would cause trouble and that our master would not be able to handle it, so we decided to come back to wake you up and let you take charge of the overall situation. "
After listening to these words, Zhou Yiming fell into deep thought, and at the same time he felt a little uneasy. He knew very well that the group of people who came were definitely not brothers from the Yamen, because first of all, after they finished the big meal, they must have been there long ago. After returning home, even if they wanted to see me for something, after they arrived, they would definitely not have the guts to insist on seeing me after they knew that I had already fallen asleep.
While Zhou Yiming was thinking, he suddenly rolled his eyes and wondered if this group of people were sent by Han Pingzhi? But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. After all, he handed over the boss of Huamanlou to Lao Han. If Lao Han wanted to solve the problem for his former master, tonight was his only chance to do it. He It was impossible to send someone to find him at this time.
After much thought, Zhou Yiming still couldn't figure out the origins of this group of people. When he was about to give up, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could this group of people be related to spies from the North?
After thinking of this possibility, Zhou Yiming's scalp went numb for a while. After leaving the government office, he had been in a state of letting down his vigilance, because he felt that if those accomplices of the spies from the North had not gone to the government office to rob the emperor, If they were imprisoned, it was probably because those northerners who were at large were incompetent, so they didn't have the guts to cause trouble.
It was precisely because of this thought that after Zhou Ming returned home, he completely forgot about the spies in the North. He even went to sleep peacefully regardless of the safety of his family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming couldn't help but blame himself. He frowned, thinking that he had been out there for so long and was vigilant enough. How could he make such a low-level mistake at a critical moment? Fortunately, the group that came did not yet know whether they were friends or foes. If they were really accomplices of the thieves from the North, their house might have been filled with blood while I was sleeping.
Although there are masters like Lin Ajiao in the family, my wife is a woman after all. She lacks actual combat experience. When encountering a real master, she may not be able to last for a few rounds before she is defeated.
Zhou Yiming shook his head and quickly drove away these terrible thoughts from his mind. Then he quickly got out of bed and while getting dressed, he asked Lin Ajiao eagerly: "Where are these people now? Is my father okay?"
Lin Ajiao nodded: "When I came back to call you, I didn't hear the sound of fighting. Of the group that came, only the leader was talking to the master in the study. As for the others, they were all blocked. Outside the gate."
Zhou Yiming got dressed and felt a little more relaxed, because judging from the information given by Lin Ajiao, this group of uninvited guests should have nothing to do with the Northern thieves, otherwise they would not be so obedient.
After Zhou Ming put on his shoes, he immediately walked out the door.
Lin Ajiao wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhou Ming: "You stay in the house and don't go anywhere. I'm going to see who those people are. After handling these things, I will be back soon."
But Lin Ajiao couldn't hear what he said: "No, I'm not worried if you go alone, so just let me go with you. There are so many people in that group. If something happens, I will still I can help you.”
Zhou Yiming sneered in his heart, thinking, my silly wife, if that group of people is really so powerful that even I can't deal with it, even if you are added to it, it will just give them a life.
Besides, if you were there, I would have worries and it would be difficult for me to show off all my abilities. Not only would you not be able to help me, but you would actually be counterproductive and drag me down.
Although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it with her mouth. Zhou Yiming could only smile bitterly and said: "Madam, are you so unconfident in my ability? If so, then you go ahead, I'll stay at home." Waiting for your good news."
These two sentences struck a vital chord in Lin Ajiao, leaving her speechless and she could only say in a low mood: "My husband, I definitely didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand me.
Isn’t it okay if I don’t go? "
"That's pretty much it." After saying this, Zhou Ming turned around and went out.
Watching Zhou Yiming walk out of the door, Lin Ajiao stood in the room anxiously. On the one hand, she was worried about Yi Ming going to deal with the gang alone. On the other hand, she was afraid that if she went to help without authorization, she would be in trouble. Angry with myself.
In desperation, when Zhou Ming walked out of the backyard, Lin Ajiao hurriedly ran out of the house and then came to Huan'er's house.
Huan Er had already fallen asleep.
Lin Ajiao hurriedly woke her up: "Huan'er, get up quickly, don't sleep, I have something important for you to do."
Huan'er opened her eyes sleepily and saw her young lady's anxious look. She immediately said, "Miss, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Lin Ajiao made a long story short and told Huan'er everything that had just happened, and then expressed her thoughts: "The matter is urgent now, and I can't go to the front yard to inquire, so I can only wake you up and let you know You go ahead and do some reconnaissance, and if my husband is in danger, come back and tell me so I can help him."
Huan'er had a very smart personality. After knowing the seriousness of the matter, she didn't need to be pushed at all. She immediately got dressed, got out of bed, and went straight out without even having time to say hello to Lin Ajiao.
Lin Ajiao returned to her room and paced back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy and uneasy.
After Zhou Yiming came to the front yard, he found many servants gathered in the yard, holding some sticks and iron tools in their hands. Their eyes were always fixed on the study window, as if something important was about to happen inside.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Ming asked confused.
When these servants saw Zhou Yiming coming, they all felt as if they had seen a great savior. They suddenly gathered around and surrounded Zhou Yiming in the center of the circle.
"Master, you are here, we are almost scared to death."
"The master and the mysterious figure have been staying in the study. We are worried about the safety of the master, so we dare not leave."
Only then did Zhou Yiming realize that the reason why they were here with sticks and iron weapons was to protect his father.
"It's rare that you have such kindness. On behalf of my father, I would like to thank you here."
"Master, this is what we should do. Go in and take a look. That group of people all look fierce. As time goes by, they might do something."
Everyone expressed their inner concerns.
Zhou Yiming showed a smile and tried his best to comfort him: "Don't worry, everyone, just go back. Nothing will happen. Maybe it's just my friends who are here. They have never been to the house, so they don't know the rules."
What Zhou Yiming did was actually very clever. After all, as the master of the family, he must make the servants in the family feel safe, otherwise their lives may not be saved. Even if you can give them more wages, they will not May work for you on errands.
These servants, after hearing what the young master said, felt a little calmer. After all, they all understood that their young master was very capable. He could easily eliminate even the thieves from the North, let alone other unknown people.
And more importantly, the young master said that those people are most likely his friends. If this is really the case, then they don't need to worry.
"In that case, young master, let's go back. If anything happens, just call us and we'll be on call." Before these servants left, they all told Yi Ming to be careful.
After watching everyone leave, Zhou Ming slowly walked towards the study.
When he came to the door, he saw the little book boy taking a nap on the steps. Zhou Yiming kicked him: "Go to the house quickly and tell the master that I am coming."
