Being woken up from bed early in the morning, Zhou Yiming was naturally full of resentment, so when faced with the flattery of those small government servants, he was not only indifferent, but even acted extremely indifferent.
When all the young government servants saw Zhou Yiming walking past them without saying a word and directly entering the government office, they all felt a little disappointed, because they all knew in their hearts that Zhou Yiming had not solved the Beiguo spy case before. , not like this.
Although his official position is higher than those of them, and he has a profound background, when he gets along with them, he always shows an approachable and amiable appearance, and no matter who among them encounters difficulties , as long as you talk to him, unless he has no money, he will definitely help you with all his money, and he will never let others open their mouths in vain.
Of course, these people didn't understand that Zhou Ming had a resentment in his heart, so he showed such an angry look. They all thought that the reason why Zhou Ming put on this face might be because he felt that he had made a meritorious service and was great, so he didn't Take these brothers seriously, after all, after making that contribution yesterday, it is very likely that he will become famous because of it, and he will never have to deal with these brothers again.
"Hmph! I thought Zhou Captou wouldn't be the kind of person who looks down on others, but I didn't expect that I was too naive." One of these young yamen servants suddenly complained.
"Who says otherwise? Capt. Zhou is so kind to us. As long as he treats us, he will never leave any of us behind. When we borrow money from him, we never open our mouths in vain.
Look at us now, we spent so much hard work to buy the treasures, we were waiting here for him early in the morning, and finally waited until he came, and wanted to give the things to him as a filial piety, but in the end, he not only didn't appreciate it, but even gave it to him. We are just air, this is so irritating. "A person in the crowd immediately echoed.
With the start of these two people, the negative emotions in other people's hearts were suddenly aroused. Everyone suddenly forgot how good Zhou Ming had been to them before, and they all angrily expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhou Ming.
The two policemen who were sent to pick up Zhou Ming parked the carriage and came to the gate of the Yamen. When they saw so many colleagues gathered at the door, they were both stunned, wondering what was going on. Why did they all come out?
Out of curiosity, the two police officers hurried forward and asked everyone what happened.
"Brothers, it's broad daylight and the yamen is busy. Why are you out? There are so many people on the street and you are making a lot of noise here. If our Deng inspector discovers this, he will expose you carefully.
But then again, what happened? What makes you so excited? "
When everyone saw them asking this question, they told them the whole story.
After hearing the whole story, the first reaction of the two policemen was to laugh. However, they were not stupid. They knew that the people in front of them were angry. If they laughed at them at this time, they would definitely get a beating.
For safety reasons, the two policemen just smiled bitterly in their hearts, and then spoke at the same time to reason with the young government officials:
“Brothers, you are so confused.
Mr. Zhou, you should be grateful to him for doing this. If he accepts these things from you and still talks and laughs with you, he will be harming you. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people in front of them were immediately speechless. They stared blankly at the two police officers. It took them a long time to wake up from the surprise. Among them, there was a person with a quick mind. , immediately questioned the two people: "Brothers, you just went to pick up Mr. Zhou, you didn't just get bribed by him, right?
What benefits has he given you two? So much so that you two defended him so much that you didn't even take the interests of the brothers seriously, and directly confused right and wrong, saying that he was doing this for our own good. Did you two make a mistake? Do you really think we are fools? "
After hearing this person's question, the crowd became excited again. Under the encouragement of others, they also asked the two police officers, what was the purpose of these words?
The two policemen looked at each other and wondered if we didn't read the almanac when we went out today. Why didn't we go smoothly wherever we went? I just went to Yi Ming's house and invited him to come to the Yamen. I had already suffered a lot. If Yi Ming hadn't protected them at the critical moment, neither of them might have completed the task now.
After a long time of hard work, I finally brought Zhou Ming back. Unexpectedly, just because of a few words, I offended the brothers in the yamen again. If the two of them don't explain what they just said clearly at this time, not only will they be They may suffer physical pain, and it will be difficult for them to stay in the south of the city to inspect the Yamen in the future.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the two people quickly smiled and wanted to explain to the people in front of them.
At this time, the sun had gradually risen, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. When pedestrians saw someone arguing at the entrance of the Yamen, they gathered around to watch the excitement.
Noticing that more and more people were gathering at the door of the yamen, the two police officers knew that if this continued, they would probably get into trouble, so they did not rush to explain at the door, but lowered their voices and said to the yamen servants: " Brothers, this is not the place to talk, let’s go in and talk.”
Although the young government officials were full of anger, they were also afraid of causing trouble. After hearing the suggestions of the two policemen, they all followed the two men obediently, entered the government gate, and then closed the door.
The two police officers were still worried after seeing the door closed. They walked over, lay on the door, and looked out from the crack of the door to make sure that all the pedestrians outside had left. Then they turned around to deal with the gang. Brainless government servant.
Looking at the eager government officials in front of them, these two people were very nervous. After all, if they said the wrong thing later, the consequences might be very serious. Not only would they not be able to solve these people's misunderstandings about Zhou Ming, , even they themselves will be in danger.
"There are no outsiders inside this gate. Can you two start explaining?" A young yamen servant suddenly stood up and said aggressively.
The two police officers glanced at each other, and one of them took a step forward. He smiled and greeted everyone in front of him, and began to speak: "Brothers, in fact, the reason why the two of us just said that is very special. Simple.
Before Master Zhou came to our yamen, we were already working as errands in the yamen. We spent a lot of time with him. I think everyone knows his temperament very well.
When I have nothing to do, I have also thought about this person. I can sum up his character in two sentences: he is affectionate, righteous, and capable.
And according to my careful observation, Mr. Zhou has great ambitions, and his goal is definitely not to eat and die in our small yamen. "
After such a long opening speech, the government officials were even more confused. Everyone was thinking, the reason why we are all angry is because the person named Zhou ignored us and looked down on us. You boy said that the person named Zhou He did this out of consideration for us, but you said so many words, all of which were to praise him, and you didn't explain clearly why he did this for our good.
There was a young yamen servant who was really impatient. He couldn't help but stepped forward to interrupt the policeman and said angrily: "Brother, please save your flattery until Mr. Zhou comes. We brothers want to know right now, why is Zhou doing it for our own good when he ignores us and doesn't want our gifts? If we don't explain this issue clearly, we won't be done with you today."
The policeman who spoke just now couldn't help being shocked after seeing this scene. He opened his mouth, smiled, wiped the cold sweat on his head naturally, and then continued: " Little brother, don't be anxious.
The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the words must be spoken sentence by sentence. No matter how clear the truth is, it must be explained step by step.
I just said all this because I hope you will pay attention to this. Our Lord Zhou has absolutely no flaws in his character. Whoever says he has bad intentions, I am the first to disagree.
As for why he didn't want your gift just now, and even turned a blind eye to you, there is actually a reason behind it. "
When all the young government officials heard this, they all became attentive because they all wanted to know what purpose Yi Ming had in treating them like this.
The police officer who has been explaining has been beating a drum in his heart because he is very unsure of what he is going to say next. If those people think that the reasons he says are not convincing, then he will suffer. .
Another police officer stood aside. Although he didn't say a word, he was always worried. After all, if his companion's explanation was not accepted by the brothers, he would not be able to escape the fate of being punished.
Seeing that the policeman who was speaking hesitated for a moment, a young officer in the crowd immediately stepped out, blocked his escape route, and then said coldly: "Brother, relax, I'll keep standing. Behind you, you won't be in danger.
So you must not be distracted and finish the rest of your words. As long as the reasons you explain make us feel reasonable, we will naturally not make things difficult for you. "
"Of course, I understand." After the police officer in charge of the explanation realized the danger, he hurriedly took advantage of his courage and pretended not to care. He smiled and said, "With you guys surrounding me, I don't dare to be in any danger." Close to me.”
After saying this, the policeman secretly glanced into the courtyard of the Yamen and found that there was no one in the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's over. If I explain it later, they won't like to hear it. If something happens, there won't even be anyone to report the news inside.
