Originally, Xia Dezhang had been scolded by Zhou Yiming so much that he couldn't hold his head up, but now Deng Tong was causing trouble for him again. Faced with such huge pressure, he even felt like he was collapsing. Fortunately, he had been working as an errand in the Yamen all year round, although he didn't He may not have achieved anything famous, but he has developed a very strong psychological quality.
Facing the aggressive Deng Tong, Xia Dezhang rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a good way to solve the problem. He pretended to be very anxious and said in a panic: "What time has it been? Do you still have time to do this?" You're wasting your time on a trivial matter like sesame seeds and mung beans. Don't you even look at how far we, Mr. Zhou, have run away. If we don't keep up, Mr. Zhou will arrive at the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. In case Mr. Han calls his name, we will be nowhere to be seen. , then we both can’t eat anything and walk away!”
Deng Tong had just been busy looking for trouble with Xia Dezhang. In his desperation, he even forgot to go to the General Affairs Office. At this moment, when Xia Dezhang reminded him, he finally remembered that he still had important matters to attend to. There is no time to worry about such small things.
Looking at the luxurious carriage in front of him, Deng Tong couldn't help but feel worried again, because his and Xia Dezhang's official positions were not worthy of riding in such a carriage, and it would definitely be too late to find another carriage at this time.
"Master Zhou has run far away, and we can't sit in this car. What do you think we should do?" Deng Tong spread his hands helplessly, his mood hitting rock bottom.
"Don't worry, there is always a way. Just calm down first." Xia Dezhang actually had a sneaky idea for a long time, but he wanted to rectify Deng Tong, so he didn't say it out immediately.
Deng Tong was a rough man, and he didn't have much money in the city, so when he saw that he was about to be in disaster, he lost control of his emotions completely. He ignored the people coming and going at the Yamen gate and began to shout loudly. He first complained. Having bad luck, he then pointed the attack at Xia Dezhang and cursed him.
Seeing that Deng Tong was already furious, Xia Dezhang felt that the time had come. He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Inspection Deng, there is no end to the road, why are you so angry? Look at this person. There are people from our yamen standing at the door of the yamen. How do you think it would be inappropriate for someone to see you like this?"
"Get out of here!" Deng Tong was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to beat Xia Dezhang, "Do you believe that I will beat you to death? What time has it been now and you still have the heart to be jealous of me? If you really have the ability, you should think of a way out!
You kid, don’t forget that we are grasshoppers on the same rope now. If I die, you won’t be able to escape. "
Xia Dezhang was stunned for a moment. The reason why he didn't express his inner thoughts just now was because he wanted to play tricks on Deng Tong. But what he didn't expect was that Deng Tong's psychological quality was so poor that he hadn't been taken to the execution ground yet. As for beheading, he has collapsed.
Xia Dezhang knew in his heart that Deng Tong was angry at this time. No matter what he said to him, he would not listen. For now, he could only wait until he was angry and then slowly tell him what was in his heart. he.
After getting angry, Deng Tong gradually came to his senses. He knew very well that even if he cut Xia Dezhang into pieces at this moment, he would not be able to solve the current problem.
Before things could turn around, he had to find a way quickly, even if he couldn't save his own life, at least he had to save the lives of his family members.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and walked into the Yamen. He wanted to discuss a countermeasure with his confidants. If possible, let them find a carriage quickly, maybe it was still too late.
Xia Dezhang immediately followed and said to Deng Tong cautiously: "Inspector Deng, where are you going? Don't forget, we have to go to the general government office."
"There's no need for you to remind me." Deng Tong roared without looking back, "When I go back to the Yamen, I just want to think of a solution. Unlike you, you can only talk nonsense and can't come up with bullshit solutions."
"Inspector Deng, don't say that. To be honest, when it comes to a solution, I do have one." Xia Dezhang said with some pride.
Deng Tong immediately stopped. He was now in a desperate situation. Suddenly he heard Xia Dezhang say there was a way, and the anger in his heart disappeared.
He turned around, stared into Xia Dezhang's eyes, and said in a pleading tone: "When has this been going on? If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly!"
"The matter is urgent now. If we don't want to delay the important event, we can only take this luxurious carriage to the General Affairs Office." Xia Dezhang said directly without any pretense.
"What you said is easy. Take this car to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. If you are caught, we will still charge you with trespassing." Deng Tong said angrily. He felt that Xia Dezhang's idea was simply to make himself Follow him to die.
"Inspector Deng, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Xia Dezhang said mysteriously, "We will only ride in this carriage once. I believe that we will not be so unlucky as to be caught on the road. Yes, even if I am caught, I will have my own way to get out of trouble."
Deng Tong heard that there was something wrong with what he said, so he immediately asked: "Captain Xia, that's not right. We went to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, and we have to come back in the end. This time, we make two trips. Why do you say that we How about just riding this carriage once?"
When the two people were talking, the yamen servants standing on both sides of the yamen gate were all eavesdropping on their conversation. After hearing Deng Tong's question, they were all puzzled and couldn't help but crane their necks. , I want to know how Xia Dezhang would answer this question.
Xia Dezhang had noticed their actions a long time ago. He pulled Deng Tong aside and said in a low voice: "This matter is of great importance. There are many people here talking, so let's get in the car and talk about it."
Being reminded like this, Deng Tong looked back and found that all the government officials standing guard were staring at them.
"You little bitches, what are you looking at? If you can't control your eyes and ears, I'll take care of them for you. I'll cut them all off so that you won't get into trouble by watching and listening randomly!" Deng Tong said to the government officials. Get angry and curse.
These government officials were frightened. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
After scaring the government officials, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong got into the luxury carriage and ordered the driver to catch up with Zhou Ming in front.
This luxurious carriage was well-made and its performance was impeccable. When the driver whipped it down, the horse pulling the carriage couldn't help but feel the pain. It jumped up high with its front hooves, neighed twice, then landed on its front legs and ran hard. stand up.
Like a bow and arrow loosened from its string, the carriage sped away from the Yamen gate and chased the carriage in which Zhou Yiming was sitting in the direction where it disappeared.
In the carriage, Xia Dezhang, while fully experiencing the comfort of the luxurious carriage, poked his head out from time to time to see if there was any shadow of Zhou Ming's carriage in front of him.
Deng Tong was obviously not in such a good mood as Xia Dezhang. After he got on the carriage, he was always on tenterhooks, fearing that he would be caught by law enforcement officers on the road and then be convicted of trespassing.
You must know that although the crime of transgression sounds less serious than murder and arson, the crime itself is no different from rebellion.
Once convicted, not only will the murderer lose his life, but there is also a great possibility that his family will be implicated, and even nine tribes will be implicated.
Seeing that Xia Dezhang didn't speak for a long time, Deng Tong finally became anxious. He couldn't help but said: "Captain Xia, when I got into this car with you, I handed over the lives of more than 20 people in my family." In your hands, you must not take my trust for granted."
"Inspector Deng, we have worked together for many years, but you still can't trust me?" Xia Dezhang showed a confident look, "Keep your heart in your heart, no matter what happens, I will have my own solution."
"It's not enough if you just have a way. You have to tell me. At least you can let me know what's going on so I won't be worried all the time, right?" Deng Tong's tone was full of helplessness and prayer.
Xia Dezhang nodded, thinking that Deng Tong was really scared. If he didn't tell him some useful information, he might not have reached his destination. This old boy was scared to death.
"Inspector Deng, didn't you just ask me why I only took this carriage once?" Xia Dezhang asked a question first.
Deng Tong was confused for a moment and could only nod mechanically: "Yes, I asked that."
"Okay, I'll tell you why now." Xia Dezhang showed a proud look on his face, "Aren't you always worried that we will be caught by law enforcement officers on the road and then be convicted of trespassing?
In fact, you don’t have to worry like this. If we encounter someone looking for trouble, we can just go along and say that this carriage belongs to Mr. Han! "
After listening to Xia Dezhang's words, Deng Tong not only didn't understand what he meant, but became even more confused. He was wondering where this was from. I obviously bought this carriage. If you say it's from Han Pingzhi, then someone must believe it. ah.
"Oh, isn't this nonsense? After a little investigation, your lies will be exposed!" Deng Tong frowned and began to wonder in his mind, is Xia Dezhang harming himself?
"Inspector Deng, don't be anxious, just listen to me." Xia Dezhang sat upright and continued with a serious expression, "You are right. According to common sense, as long as people ask Mr. Han to verify our lies, It will definitely be exposed immediately.
But now the situation is different, things have changed. In terms of the relationship between Mr. Han and our Mr. Zhou, even if Mr. Han knows that we are lying, do you think he can sell us regardless of the feelings of our Mr. Zhou? ? "
After hearing these words, Deng Tong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to suddenly see the hope of life.
He thought about it carefully and felt that what Xia Dezhang said was really reasonable. If Han Pingzhi really sold them by then, it would be difficult for him to explain it in front of Yiming Ming.
