Deng Tong's eyes gleamed, as if he suddenly saw the hope of life. He kept thinking in his heart, even if Han didn't care about his friendship with Yi Ming, and even if he was thinking about his own future, he would not be able to expose him. The conspiracy with Xia Dezhang, after all, would be tantamount to not giving Zhou Ming face. Once the two of them turn against each other, it will not be so easy for Han to climb up the ladder based on the Northland spy case, because in the end, this case The biggest contributor to the case is Zhou Yiming. If he doesn't agree with it, even if Han is extremely capable, it would be extremely difficult for him to take all the credit for this case.
After figuring this out, Deng Tong was overjoyed. He laughed, danced and patted Xia Dezhang on the shoulder, fully affirming what he just said: "Old Xia, you didn't see it, you kid. You really have some skills. I thought about the method you just mentioned, and I thought it might actually work.
In order to get promoted and make a fortune, Lord Han is now begging for help from our Lord Zhou, so whether it is for the sake of our Lord Zhou or for his own future, when it comes to a critical moment, even if he knows that we are lying, he will only If you can be mute and eat Coptis chinensis, you will be unlucky. "
Xia Dezhang smiled triumphantly: "Inspector Deng, I have many advantages, but you are usually busy with work and have no chance to explore them.
After getting through this difficulty, I hope that Inspector Deng will take more care of me in the yamen in the future, and also say a few kind words for me in front of Mr. Zhou. In this case, it is not in vain that I am now giving advice to Mr. Zhou. "
After Deng Tong understood Xia Dezhang's plan, he had been immersed in joy. At this time, when he heard Xia Dezhang's sinister words, most of the joy in his heart disappeared and was replaced by suspicion and anger.
Although Deng Tong was a carefree man and didn't have much in mind for the city, he still had a very accurate eye for people. Otherwise, without this ability, he would never have been able to sit at the top of the inspection yamen in the south of the city.
He and Xia Dezhang have worked together for many years. Although the two people have always been in a superior-subordinate relationship, he has discovered from Xia Dezhang's daily conversations that this boy is very ambitious. Although he treats him respectfully on the surface, in fact, he always wants to take his position secretly. Grab it.
Precisely because they knew that Xia Dezhang was an insidious person, the two of them had been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Until Yiming Ming came to the Yamen, the two of them could not tell the winner.
The reason why Deng Tong did not completely defeat Xia Dezhang during the struggle was not actually a problem with his ability, but because he had always had scruples. He did not know what forces were behind Xia Dezhang. If he did not understand the origin of the enemy, Recklessly putting the enemy to death will not only fail to completely solve the troubles one faces, but will instead put oneself in a more dangerous situation.
Deng Tong had been working hard in the court for so many years, but he still understood this simple truth.
He had already planned that once he figured out the power behind Xia Dezhang, he would not hesitate to send this person to the Western Paradise.
Originally, his plan was going very smoothly, and he even had some clues about investigating the forces behind Xia Dezhang, but the sudden arrival of Yi Ming disrupted all his plans.
After Yi Ming solved two major cases in a row through his own efforts, he is now the actual leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city. He said one thing, but no one dared to say two. In this situation, Deng Tong was the last one. After finding out Xia Dezhang's origin, it was impossible to be cruel to him.
After all, Zhou Mingming has a bright mind and does not rub sand in his eyes. If someone under him does something to exclude dissidents, once he finds out the truth, he will definitely die.
The reason for this is very simple. On the one hand, although Yi Ming has superior strength and high reputation, and is already an unrivaled presence in the yamen, his power and prestige have not yet been officially recognized, which makes him a leader. His identity name is not justified.
The biggest obstacle for him to give orders now is that he is the nominal leader. If he obeys his words, he may be able to save his life. If he has the slightest objection to him or causes trouble, he will definitely get rid of him as soon as possible. .
Thinking of this, Deng Tong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, I am an old Jianghu, and I understand all the rules and regulations in the officialdom. Otherwise, if I rashly take action against Xia Dezhang at this time, it would be equivalent to directly handing over to Zhou Ming. The knife gave him a perfect excuse to kill himself.
Deng Tong turned his head, glanced at Xia Dezhang's disgusting face, and thought to himself, you are too shrewd. Originally, the two of us were competing under Yi Ming, and you had an innate advantage. In order to get rid of me as soon as possible, A thorn in your side, Zhou Yiming always suppresses me, but in turn he promotes you. In this situation, you still ask me to put in a few nice words for you. Do you really think I am a fool?
Although he hated Xia Dezhang in his heart, Deng Tong also understood that now was a critical moment, not the time to settle accounts with him, so he could only put on a smile and agreed: "This is natural, as long as we two brothers can survive After this difficulty, let alone say a few nice words for you, even if I report it to the superior government office and give you my patrol position, that will be fine."
Xia Dezhang snorted coldly, showed a meaningful smile, and thought to himself, do you want me to go on inspection at this time? Wouldn't that put me on the fire? Zhou Yiming is now speaking in the yamen, and the inspection in front of him is not even a piece of shit. He has to be dealt with all day long. I'll leave this kind of drudgery to you.
After the carriage traveled some distance, it gradually caught up with Zhou Ming's carriage.
Xia Dezhang poked his head half out of the window. After seeing Yiming's carriage, he was elated and quickly told Deng Tong the good news.
Deng Tong stood up excitedly and looked outside. After confirming that Xia Dezhang's words were true, he immediately shouted to the coachman: "Speed up quickly and keep up with the carriage in front. Don't lose it again. Otherwise, I won’t be able to spare you.”
The driver was frightened and quickly raised his whip and whipped the horse pulling the cart several times.
The carriage accelerated instantly, and a huge force almost threw Deng Tong, who was standing in the carriage, to the ground.
Deng Tong cursed a few curse words and quickly sat down. After a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly found the problem.
Although the method Xia Dezhang thought of just now to get out of trouble was good, there was one problem that he could not solve with this method. This problem was that if the carriage they were riding in was only used once, they would not be able to handle it when it arrived at the General Affairs Office.
You can't just leave this carriage at the gate of the General Affairs Office at that time, right?
After thinking of this, Deng Tong had just regained his calm mood, but immediately became confused again. He hurriedly said to Xia Dezhang: "Old Xia, there is a loophole in the method you just thought of. If this loophole is not filled, you and I will still have troubles." Big trouble.”
Xia Dezhang thought that all the troubles had been solved, so he was in a good mood. After hearing what Deng Tong said, he frowned and said in a very suspicious tone: "Inspector Deng, are you too sensitive? What I just thought That method can be said to be flawless, how could there be any loopholes?"
Deng Tong sneered at Xia Dezhang's blind self-confidence, thinking that you are just a bad catcher. You really think you are Zhuge Kongming, the scheming master. If you really had that ability, you would have ridden on my head long ago. As for now, he is still suppressed by me in every aspect.
Deng Tong knew that now was not the time to argue with him about this, so he pointed out the problem directly: "I have no objection to the method you just thought of, but I just want to ask you, after we arrive at the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, this What do you do with a carriage?"
After Xia Dezhang heard this question, he took a breath and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He asked himself, when he was thinking of a solution just now, he really ignored this problem.
At this time, he thought about it carefully and found that this was really not a big problem. Yi Ming's attitude was very firm and they would definitely not want this carriage. After they arrived at their destination, they could not take this carriage back. , when the carriage is thrown at the gate of the General Affairs Office, it will be too conspicuous, and it will be difficult to deal with it if it causes trouble.
Seeing that Xia Dezhang didn't speak for a long time, Deng Tong became even more anxious. While looking at the street scene outside the window to calculate how far away he was from the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, he urged Xia Dezhang: "Old Xia, please say something. Now We are still three streets away from the General Affairs Office, and if you can't figure out a way to deal with this loophole, we will all be doomed."
Xia Dezhang gave him a very dissatisfied look and said to himself, forget it because you can't help me. You are still quarreling here. You are deliberately preventing me from thinking of a solution!
Deng Tong understood the look in his eyes and immediately sat down and stopped talking.
After a long while, Xia Dezhang, who had been frowning, suddenly laughed, and then said to Deng Tong: "Inspector Deng, you don't have to worry, I have already thought of a way, and I think it is a brilliant idea."
Deng Tong originally thought that Xia Dezhang would not be able to think of a solution, so in despair, he was already thinking of a way out for his family.
Suddenly he saw Xia Dezhang's face beaming with joy and said that he had thought of a way. The stone that was weighing on Deng Tong's heart finally fell to the ground.
He immediately approached Xia Dezhang and lowered his voice and said: "Good brother, you almost scared me to death. I thought there was nothing you could do.
The survival of my family of more than 20 people depends entirely on you. "
Seeing Deng Tong's frightened look, Xia Dezhang felt a little regretful, thinking that if I had known that he was so frightened, I should have told him the method I thought of later. In that case, it would be a reward to let him worry for a while longer. Take it out on yourself.
