The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 143 No. 1 in the World

Qin Zheng quickly said, "How dare you trouble me? It's already very kind of you to help me write the invitation."

I thought to myself, if you go and deliver it, how am I going to make money?

Xia Bitu immediately understood and sneered, "It's better for me to go and deliver it myself! That way, you will have more face!"

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly, knowing that the old fox had seen through his intentions. He bowed and said, "My uncle is the one who knows me best! I confess, I didn't plan to hold a New Year's banquet, I just wanted to make some money!"

Xia Bitu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, it was true!

The scene was already emerging in front of my eyes: Qin Zheng sent invitations to every household, threatened them one by one, and asked them to hand over all their wealth, or at least a large part of it...

This guy is cleaning up the mess for the Empress!

Although the empress was very good at seizing opportunities, she did not realize that if she really confiscated the property of these ministers and bankrupted them, there would inevitably be turmoil in the court.

After all, the empress had just captured the seven officials of the imperial capital, and the impact was already significant.

If I swing the knife forward again, it will definitely cause fierce resistance!

It turns out that women have long hair but short knowledge, and are not suitable to be the head of the household!

"The Four Border Army, do you need me to appease them?" Xia Bitu suddenly asked.

He knew what Qin Zheng wanted!

Qin Zheng gave up his immense fortune, and the conditions must be more than just writing an invitation. Instead of Qin Zheng proposing it himself, it would be better for him to take the initiative.

He proposed it out of social etiquette, while Qin Zheng proposed it as a condition of exchange!

Qin Zheng smiled so hard that only a slit remained in his eyes: "Thank you, uncle!"

Seeing his behavior, Xia Bitu rolled his eyes.

really!

"You little monkey, uncle is still angry!" Xia Bi didn't want to let this guy off easily.

This time, he suffered a serious setback.

Still face down!

Although Qin Zheng knew that it would be difficult and it was impossible to turn his body over completely, he could turn sideways!

At least you don't have to feel so depressed.

Qin Zheng scratched his head: "Well, I don't want the money my uncle made from real estate!"

Xia Bitu stared at Qin Zheng: "You didn't want it in the first place. This dividend is to fill a hole one day, right?"

Qin Zheng said seriously, "Uncle, if I didn't want to calm you down, I would have accepted this dividend. Who would complain about too much money? This is not a small amount. I simply don't want you to get angry and hurt yourself!"

Although I know that this stuff just sells well, Xia Bitu just feels comfortable listening to it!

Xia Bitu sighed and said, "Uncle, I admit defeat!"

Qin Zheng also sighed: "Uncle, why bother? Isn't it better to enjoy your retirement? What is it that you can't tell others?"

Xia Bitu rolled his eyes at Qin Zheng and said, "Want to know?"

Qin Zheng was speechless: "Then tell me, what is your relationship with Xia Jinzhong, and what is the identity of Sun Tiezhu's adoptive mother. You promised me before!"

Xia Jinzhong nodded: "I did promise you, but I didn't say I had no conditions?"

Qin Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You old fox. Forget it, I'll check it myself. I'm afraid your conditions are unacceptable to me."

After saying that, he turned and left: "I have something else to see Your Majesty."

Xia Jinzhong said: "Don't you want to know how I will take revenge on you?"

Qin Zheng came back again, grinning playfully, "I want to know, uncle, tell me!"

Xia Jinzhong: “…”

This stuff is simply amazing.

Xia Jinzhong now fully understood what it meant to love and hate.

"Why should I tell you? You are so smart, how about you guess?" Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng with a smile.

Qin Zheng actually began to seriously speculate: "Uncle will risk his life to protect the Fu Zhen Sect. No matter what the reason, in the short term, the Fu Zhen Sect will not take action against me, His Majesty, the Princess, or even the cause of developing the imperial capital. Otherwise, if His Majesty is truly angered, the Sky Thunder Cannon will fire again!"

Xia Bitu nodded, not at all surprised that Qin Zheng could guess this.

If I can’t guess it, I’m not Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng further analyzed: "The power of the Sky Thunder Cannon will soon spread to the Fourth Boundary Army. For the time being, they dare not act rashly. Therefore, for the time being, the Fourth Boundary Army is not a threat."

Xia Bitu nodded and looked at Qin Zheng with appreciation.

If it were his adopted son Xia Jinzhong, he would definitely not be able to figure it out.

Qin Zheng suddenly tilted his head and looked at Xia Bitu: "Uncle, you don't... have any connection with the Beichen Dynasty, do you?"

Xia Bitu's expression changed.

Although I thought that with Qin Zheng's terrifying reasoning ability, he would probably figure it out sooner or later, I didn't expect that it would only be so short...

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Bitu's expression and smiled, he guessed right.

He said, "Xia Jinzhong missed the opportunity, but he still didn't want me to get Sun Tiezhu. So, this was his idea?"

Xia Bitu scratched his head, which was very similar to Qin Zheng's habitual action.

He didn't even realize that he never had the habit of scratching his head.

"Do you think it's childish?" Xia Bituo asked.

Qin Zheng shook his head: "Although I wouldn't do such a stupid thing, this is the best way for Xia Bitu. It's good that he thought of it."

Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng and wanted to sigh again, but held back: "I advised him that he couldn't beat you, so why bother himself with trouble. But he didn't listen!"

Qin Zheng said as if he understood: "If it were me, I wouldn't give up either. People can be unintelligent, but they can't be irresponsible!"

Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng with even greater admiration: "You are the best in the world to be able to evaluate and understand the enemy in this way."

Qin Zheng said seriously, "He and I are not enemies, and neither are you. I am just helping the Empress and doing what I should do. You know why I am helping the Empress, and he knows it too. This is also my responsibility. Whether it's you or him, you are the ones who regard me as the enemy, not me!"

Xia Bitu scratched his head again and said with a wry smile, "We are enemies, both friends and foes!"

Qin Zheng laughed: "This is called not distinguishing between friend and foe!"

Xia Bitu also smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to chat with you. Uncle has decided not to ask for any conditions and tell you about my relationship with Jinzhong, as well as the old lady's true identity."

"No need, I understand." Qin Zheng said.

Xia Bitu was shocked: "You know?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "Uncle, you help the Fu Zhen Sect for the sake of women as well as for yourself. As for the old lady, it's very simple. Beichen was sent to Daqian as a hostage when he was young, and Beichen will not abandon her.

In fact, the old lady's original mission as a spy was definitely not to protect the hostage. It was to marry an official appointed by the court and gather intelligence. But it just so happened that the hostage arrived and there was no one to take care of him, so she was the most suitable person.

clap clap clap!

Xia Bitu high-fived: "When did you see through it?"

Qin Zheng: "That's not important. There's one thing I don't understand. You should support the empress, so why are you doing this?"

Xia Bitu laughed and said, "I won't tell you!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

"Okay. Uncle, tell Xia Jinzhong not to join forces with Beichen's people to take Sun Tiezhu, the hostage, back to Beichen. The timing is wrong, and that could kill the hostage.

The hostage is dead. I don't need to take action. The lineage of the late emperor in Beichen who supports Sun Tiezhu will send people to kill Xia Jinzhong and destroy the Fuzhen Sect.

Beichen has definitely more than one or two spies in my Daqian Dynasty. They don't have the ability to overthrow Daqian, but they have the ability to destroy the Fuzhen Sect.

If the lineage of the late Emperor Beichen used the Fuzhen Sect as a token of their allegiance to Daqian, do you think Your Majesty would go along with it?

At that time, my uncle's friends in Beichen will be useless. All your efforts over the years will be ruined!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left a sentence: "Sun Tiezhu is my sworn brother, I will not sit idly by. This is my bottom line!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.

Xia Bitu stood there, staring at Qin Zheng's back, stunned.

After a long time, I shivered and felt cold all over.

Only then did he realize that his official robe was already soaked with cold sweat!

He knew that Qin Zheng was extremely intelligent and had terrifying reasoning abilities.

But I didn't expect Qin Zheng to be able to reason this far!

It was he who thought of what might happen in the end only after Qin Zheng completed his reasoning.

If Qin Zheng hadn't reminded him, perhaps all his efforts over the years would have been wasted.

"Oh!" Xia Bitu sighed. In fact, he really wanted to tell Qin Zheng why he wanted to usurp the throne.

This secret made him feel suffocated and he really wanted to find someone to confide in.

Qin Zheng is the best person to talk to.

But, he couldn't say.

He also believed that no matter how smart Qin Zheng was or how terrifying his reasoning ability was, he would never have thought of it!
