Of course Deng Tong didn't know what Xia Dezhang was thinking. He stared at Xia Dezhang with his eyes, hoping that the method he came up with could save his life.
Xia Dezhang pondered for a while, and then said with a proud face: "Inspector Deng, the loophole you just mentioned is indeed a big problem. If we don't deal with it carefully, we might really cause trouble.
Fortunately, you discovered this problem in time, giving us enough time to find a solution. "
Deng Tong said anxiously: "Lao Xia, what time is it now? Stop saying nice things and tell me what you think of quickly and let me listen."
Xia Dezhang looked at the coachman in front of him and made sure that he would not hear the conversation between him and Deng Tong, and then slowly said: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve this problem.
After a while we arrive at the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. Don't go in with Mr. Zhou. After he goes in first, we pull the carriage aside and tell the yamen at the door that this luxurious carriage is for Mr. Zhou to pay filial piety to Mr. Han. They will forward it to us.
In this way, we not only solve our own troubles, but also make Mr. Han owe us Mr. Zhou a favor. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Even if Mr. Han and Mr. Zhou know the details of the matter in the future, they will not make it public. "
After hearing what Xia Dezhang said, Deng Tong was so excited that he slapped his thigh and said happily: "Old Xia, you are really clever. I just thought about it for a long time and racked my brain, but I couldn't come up with a solution. It turns out that you are a good boy. You came up with a clever plan without any effort. I really admire you.
Based on your ability alone, you are by no means a person who has been inferior to others for a long time. If you become prosperous in the future, you must not forget my good brother. "
Xia Dezhang promised, but he was thinking in his heart, if you hadn't been suppressing me, I would have climbed up a long time ago. You, an old guy, actually have the nerve to say this now. You are really not shabby!
After everything was discussed, the two people had nothing to say in the carriage.
Zhou Yiming was sitting alone in the carriage in front. Of course, he didn't know the conspiracy of Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong. After he realized that the two people were following him and saw that they were riding in the luxurious carriage, he thought to himself, these two people You are so bold that you dare to ride in such a luxurious carriage and openly walk on the street. Isn't this looking for death?
Don't they, who have been serving in the yamen for so many years, not know that this is a crime of transgression?
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Zhou Yiming wanted to stop his carriage as soon as possible, and then get out of the car to teach the two of them a lesson. However, at the last moment, he changed his mind and felt that since these two people were determined to die, , why should I mind my own business?
As the saying goes, give up helping others and respect the fate of others.
Even if these two people get into big trouble in the end, it has nothing to do with them. After all, nominally, they are their subordinates. As their immediate superiors, they cannot blame themselves for anything that happens.
After thinking about this, Zhou Yiming sat back down safely. While he was watching the scenery along the carriage, he was thinking about what happened to Han Pingzhi who asked him to go so early.
At this time, the carriage passed through a shabby alley, and there were a few dirty beggars in the corner. They saw a few rich servants coming and going. When passing by the alley, they threw some rotten vegetable leaves on the ground, so they rushed to Go over and start looting.
The beggars who grabbed the rotten vegetable leaves immediately stuffed them into their mouths as if they had obtained a delicacy in the world, while the beggars who were slow to start screamed and risked their lives to grab the rotten vegetables.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yiming was deeply touched. He thought that it is very difficult for a person to climb up, but it is very easy to fall down. No matter how difficult the situation is in the future, he will never retreat.
After passing another street, the carriage came to a bustling street lined with shops, including many gold and silver jewelry and some antique shops. Zhou Yiming even discovered a bank in it.
After the carriage passed the bank, Yi Ming always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he patted his head and finally discovered the problem.
Yesterday morning, with the help of Han Pingzhi, he extorted 200,000 taels of silver from Yang Shijun. When Yang Shijun promised to give him the money, he had already made a decision. When the money was obtained, he would give half of it to Han Ping.
But since he got the money last night, he hasn't had time to break it up into parts.
He touched his arms and found that the banknote was still there, containing a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Zhou Yiming knew in his heart that if he really planned to give half of the money to Han Pingzhi, he would have to divide the money into two parts before going to the General Affairs Office. Otherwise, he would take the 200,000 taels of silver notes and share the money with others. Even if you want it again, how can you get it?
After all, you can't let someone take the money and then refund half of it to you, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming shouted to the driver in front: "Stop."
The driver didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant at first, so he looked back at him and asked cautiously: "Sir, what did you say?"
"I told you to stop the car." Zhou Ming said patiently.
The driver couldn't believe his ears, thinking that Inspector Deng and Captain Xia had just told him to speed up when driving so as not to delay their important event.
But why did this gentleman suddenly stop himself?
Although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, the coachman also knew that he couldn't afford to offend any of these people, so after listening to Yi Ming's words, he could only stop the carriage obediently.
Zhou Yiming lifted the curtain of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and walked back.
"Sir, wait a minute, I will go with you." The coachman was afraid that after Yi Ming left, he would not be able to explain to Deng Tong and the others, so he also jumped off the carriage and planned to go back with Yi Ming.
"Just wait here, I'll come as soon as I go." After Zhou Ming said this, he turned around and left.
The coachman had no choice but to hold on to the reins and stand there, watching Yi Ming go further and further away.
At this time, the carriage in which Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were riding also chased after them. The two of them were very surprised to see Yi Ming getting out of the carriage alone.
The two people poked their heads out of the carriage and asked Zhou Yiming anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, where are you going? Didn't we agree to go to the General Affairs Office together?"
The two people were so anxious that when they talked, they forgot that they were on the street and there were many people talking around.
Zhou Yiming made a gesture of silence, then slowly walked to their carriage, lowered his voice and said to the two of them: "You two want to die, right? Don't look where this is, you two are like that We speak loudly because we are afraid that others will not know our secret, right?"
After being scolded, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang woke up and realized that they had made a big mistake in their desperation.
"Master Zhou, we both know we were wrong." The two of them quickly admitted their mistake.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of pedestrians around him, Zhou Ming turned around, turned his back to the carriage, looked at a jewelry store, and then said very casually: "You two go ahead, I have something else to deal with, I'll wait a little later. Go over there again.”
"Master Zhou, the two of us are going first. If Master Han asks where you are going, we will definitely be scolded by him if we say we don't know." Xia Dezhang's mind was spinning very fast. He separated Deng Tong and himself His worries came out, "Instead of doing this, why don't we wait for you, and after you finish your work, we will go to the General Affairs Office together."
"What Xia Captou said makes sense, and I think so too." Deng Tong immediately agreed.
Zhou Yiming sneered, thinking that you two have a pretty good idea. I am going to break this huge sum of money. If you two know about it, how can it be repaid?
"You two, stop being so nagging and just do as I say." Zhou Ming said in an unquestionable tone, then walked to the other side of the street, pretending to be entering a jewelry store.
Seeing Yi Ming's resolute attitude, Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong didn't dare to talk anymore, and they immediately urged the coachman to leave quickly.
After watching their carriage go away, Yi Ming turned around and walked towards the bank behind him.
This bank is very impressive and very powerful at first glance. This is one of the reasons why Zhou Ming chose to come to this bank to exchange money. After all, the denomination of the bank note in his hand is really too large.
A place like a bank deals with money, so it is inevitable that unscrupulous people will come to cause trouble and extort money. In order to deal with this kind of trouble, the boss hired a few strong men to watch at the door of the bank. place.
Because he got up in a hurry in the morning and was in a hurry to come to the Yamen, Zhou Yiming didn't have time to put on the policeman's uniform and came out in casual clothes.
When they arrived at the entrance of the bank, several burly men saw that Zhou Yiming was thin and didn't look like he was rich, so they immediately became hostile to him.
"Hey, little brother, if you have nothing to do, please go further and don't delay me from sunbathing." One of the burly men came over and said to Zhou Ming menacingly.
"It's a trivial matter to delay us from sunbathing. As you can see, we are a bank and we are engaged in the business of rich people. A pauper like you will never make much money in your life. If you come to our door, it will only delay our work." Business." Another big and rough man spoke even more rudely.
Zhou Yiming sneered in his heart, thinking why there are such arrogant people everywhere. Do these handymen and janitors really have no brains?
With his temper, he would have already taught these people a lesson, but considering that he came to exchange money, he must not make it public, so he suppressed his anger and said with a smile on his face: "What the elder brothers said is quite right. It makes sense, but I have encountered a problem now and am in urgent need of a sum of money, so I have no choice but to come here to try my luck."
