The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 154: No End in sight

Shao Shi Mansion.

Yuan Shiqing looked at Qin Zheng in confusion: "What a great opportunity! Kill Xia Jinzhong and Xia Bitu will have to admit it!"

Qin Zheng said calmly: "There is no money in the treasury!"

Yuan Shiqing: “…”

Speechless.

Qin Zheng suddenly asked, "Is the prefect of Beicheng really your Majesty's man?"

Yuan Shiqing was startled: "What happened to him?"

At this moment, Xia Mo was furious and said, "We've been fighting the assassins for so long, and not a single patrolman showed up in North City. Isn't that strange? They've obviously been bribed."

Yuan Shiqing's face darkened: "I will report the truth to Your Majesty!"

Qin Zheng said, "Also, inform His Majesty to be prepared. Xia Bitu is about to take action!"

Yuan Shiqing and Xia Mo Ning were horrified...

"Report!" At this moment, a special agent reported from outside the door: "Your Excellency, the carriage from the Ministry of War has arrived, saying it is a New Year's gift for Your Excellency."

Qin Zheng was immediately delighted: "Accept it immediately and record it in the book!"

"Report!" Another special messenger came to report: "The Privy Council's gift has arrived!"

Qin Zheng smiled happily: "No matter who it is, I will accept anyone who comes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two special agents left.

Just left: "Report, the Ministry of Industry has arrived with a gift..."

"Report, the Dali Temple has delivered a gift..."

"Report..."

There was an endless stream of people coming to give gifts.

Yuan Shiqing was stunned: "Master Qin, you, you actually dared to accept bribes so blatantly?"

Qin Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your Majesty has allowed it, what can you do about it?"

Yuan Shiqing didn't believe it: "Impossible!"

"Uncle Yuan..." Xia Mo Ning explained to him with a smile.

Yuan Shiqing was even more shocked...

There was no peace at the Shao Shi Mansion all night.

There was a long queue of carriages at the door...

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Bitu's face was full of vicissitudes.

Looking at Xia Jinzhong who was kneeling in front of him, dejected and without fighting spirit.

"Oh!" Xia Bitu sighed.

"Jinzhong, although Beichen failed, you have achieved your goal. From now on, Beichen and Qin Zheng will fight to the death!

However, you have touched Qin Zheng's bottom line, and he will never give you another chance to live. But he will give me face, as long as you don't attack him or his people again. Otherwise, Qin Zheng will definitely fight back strongly and even destroy the Fu Zhen Sect! "

Xia Jinzhong nodded: "Foster father, I understand!"

Xia Bitu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Jinzhong, I want you to go to the border army for training."

Xia Jinzhong was startled: "Foster father, are you afraid that I will die at Qin Zheng's hands?"

Xia Bitu nodded without disguising: "If he kills you, I can't stop him!"

Xia Jinzhong's face was extremely grim. He shook his head and said, "Foster father, can I leave? I know Qin Zheng is destroying my Dao heart. If I run away, my confidence and fighting spirit will be completely gone!"

Xia Bitu sighed: "You will regret it!"

After a pause, he said, "Tomorrow morning, you will personally deliver the property deeds to him."

Xia Jinzhong hung his head and said nothing.

Xia Bitu smiled: "Why, you don't even dare to see him? Only he can repair your Dao Heart. It's up to you to decide. Go down!"

"Yes!" Xia Jinzhong stood up and left.

Looking at Xia Jinzhong's back, Xia Bitu was worried...

……

royal palace.

After receiving Yuan Shiqing's report, Xia Mochu sighed: "Although Qin Zheng was right not to kill Xia Jinzhong, this is such a great opportunity that can't be found in a lifetime!"

An Dehai also sighed: "Qin Zheng is very clear that if he destroys Xia Jinzhong's Dao heart this time, it will definitely force Xia Bitu to take action."

Xia Mochu said, "Are you asking Qin Zheng to do nothing?"

Yuan Shiqing said, "He did nothing wrong. By doing this, he put himself in danger and made himself a target for Beichen. He wanted to lure out Beichen's spies and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

An Dehai nodded: "That's a good idea. However, Xia Bitu's move will definitely be sharp!"

Xia Mochu suddenly said in frustration, "This Qin Zheng keeps saying he likes to be straightforward, but he's playing dumb with me. He wants me to prepare? How can I prepare when I don't even know what Xia Bitu is going to do?"

Yuan Shiqing also smiled bitterly: "He is afraid that the more he participates, the more he will know. He is afraid of getting into trouble because of it."

An Dehai also smiled bitterly and said, "He still wants to go back to Hongtong County and lie down!"

Xia Mochu said dissatisfiedly, "He really treats me like a tiger! Humph, I won't let him stay out of this.

This time, the prefect of Beicheng has seriously neglected his duties. Remove him! Let Qin Zheng be the prefect of Beicheng."

An Dehai and Yuan Shiqing's expressions changed.

Yuan Shiqing hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, is it true that his power is too great?"

Xia Mochu said, "He wants to lie down flat on his back. Do you think he's heavy? Will he care about a prefect?"

Yuan Shiqing smiled bitterly: "That's right!"

Yuan Shiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to be cautious. How about adding a proxy?"

Xia Mochu smiled: "Uncle An, isn't the governance method for Hongtong County good?"

She showed An Dehai the governance measures for Hongtong County.

An Dehai was very convinced and said: "It can be regarded as a classic book on statecraft!"

Yuan Shiqing looked confused.

Xia Mochu said, "Uncle Yuan, if you have time, you can take a look too!"

Yuan Shiqing shook his head: "Forget it. I'm good at leading troops in battle, but I can't handle intrigue and intrigue!"

An Dehai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't forget, I'm also a military commander!"

Yuan Shiqing laughed: "But you are a eunuch now!"

“…” An Dehai was speechless.

But he was not angry. He and Yuan Shiqing had been through life and death together and had a close relationship.

Late summer

He walked to the imperial desk and said, "I will issue an edict right now to appoint Qin Zheng as the acting prefect of Beicheng Prefecture... Hehehe..."

Xia Mochu could imagine what expression Qin Zheng would have when he received the order!

He must have a bitter face and feel hopeless about life!

Suddenly, I remembered: "Has the property in Central City been sold?"

Yuan Shiqing replied, "I've already sold it, and I've also bought a property in North City at a low price. It's a pity that the housing prices in the central city are still rising!"

Xia Mochu was helpless: "Who made us so poor?"

An Dehai admired him and said, "Qin Zheng is truly a business genius. Who would have thought that flipping houses could earn so much money? More than triple the money."

Xia Mochu was very proud. Can my man be just an ordinary person?

Late at night.

Qin Zheng was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Qin Zheng asked unhappily.

I was sleeping soundly and in my dream I was killing enemies in my previous life.

In his previous life, there was a time when Qin Zheng was a mercenary...

"Sir, sir, someone is coming from the palace, the imperial edict has arrived!" The voice of the special agent sounded outside the door.

"Imperial edict?" Qin Zheng dropped a sentence. An imperial edict came in the middle of the night. Is the empress sick?

Although dissatisfied, they still had to accept the imperial edict.

Qin Zheng put on his clothes and went to the yard.

He saw Zhu Shigui and a few young eunuchs waiting for him.

"Eunuch Zhu, are you sick? Why don't you sleep?" Qin Zheng's anger must be released!

Zhu Shigui smiled bitterly: "Master Qin, I have also crawled out of bed!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

"Tell me, Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Qin Zheng asked.

Zhu Shigui looked at Qin Zheng and whispered, "Sir Qin, why don't you kneel down to receive the order? Countless eyes are staring at you."

Qin Zheng had no choice but to kneel down and accept the order.

Zhu Shigui read out, "The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, decrees that Qin Zheng be appointed prefect of Beicheng Prefecture effective immediately. This is my decree!"

Qin Zheng was shocked. Let me act as the prefect of Beicheng?

Suddenly, Qin Zheng felt bad and had no desire to live.

He knew that this acting prefect was excessive.

After the construction of North City is completed, if things don't go well, he may become the acting prefect of East City, West City, South City and Central City.

He may even be the acting governor of the imperial capital.

After that, you have to go to Liangjin to take up your post.

After that, who knows what he will be asked to be the agent for next.

It’s a long time before I can lie down!

Qin Zheng was very worried.

"Thank you for your grace, long live the emperor!" Qin Zheng took the imperial edict and stood up.

I felt so suffocated. It was only twenty words in total, but it was not worth wasting an imperial edict.

Prodigal bitch!

"Lord Qin, I'll take my leave now!" Zhu Shigui saw that the matter was over, but he didn't dare to stay for long.

He was in a hurry and turned around to leave.

"slow!"

Swish!

Qin Zheng took a step forward and stopped him.

Zhu Shigui's face changed. It's over. It's too late!
