The first county magistrate in history

Just when Xia Jinzhong was ready to do whatever he wanted.

Qin Zheng said quietly, "You shouldn't trust me completely. I have more people on this street!"

With just one word, Xia Jinzhong's murderous intent suddenly disappeared, and he looked around in horror!

Although he found nothing, he felt a sense of crisis!

Qin Zheng still spoke slowly at this moment: "I have done my best. Next time, I won't give you another chance. People always need to grow, but growth also comes at a price!"

Xia Jinzhong said nothing, but pinched his left leg tightly with his left hand, almost breaking it.

In this way, he was suppressing the urge to kill Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng is so scary!

He was sure that if he dared to attack Qin Zheng now, Qin Zheng would kill him mercilessly using methods he could never imagine!

The reason why Qin Zheng didn't kill him now was because he didn't consider him as his opponent at all!

At this moment, Xia Jinzhong felt not only humiliated but also filled with regret.

If he had sent a message in time to stop it, the man would not have taken action and would not have been killed.

But it’s too late to regret!

But one has to admit that Qin Zheng is indeed the most benevolent and righteous person.

Neither of them spoke.

At the Shao Shi Mansion, Qin Zheng said before getting off the car: "As a person, you must be yourself and know yourself. Most importantly, you must believe in yourself. Actually, I didn't arrange anyone in that alley!"

Xia Jinzhong stood in a daze in the carriage.

Qin Zheng patted his shoulder and got out of the car: "Remember to pick me up tomorrow morning and learn from me. You have to give something. You won't lose out by being my driver!"

"Yes! Take care, teacher!" Xia Jinzhong bowed politely at this moment.

At this moment, the blood color in his eyes and the murderous intent on his body had all faded away.

He lost, and lost with full conviction!

My godfather is right, if you lose you have to admit it!

Xia Jinzhong watched Qin Zheng leave, his eyes full of fear and respect!

"The master is back!" Hongwu, who was on guard, saluted.

Qin Zheng nodded: "The driver is working very hard, give him a bowl of tea to drink outside!"

"Ah?" Hong Wu was confused and looked at her brother.

Qin Zheng has already entered the mansion.

Xia Jinzhong glanced at Qin Zheng's back.

He knew that Qin Zheng was giving him the opportunity to get in touch with his sister!

He assassinated Qin Zheng, but Qin Zheng treated him like this, which made him very ashamed.

Even, feel ashamed!

This feeling is simply inner torment!

At this moment, Xia Jinzhong suppressed his inner emotions and said to Hong Wu with a smile: "Thank you, I'm thirsty!"

Hong Wu: "..."

Hurry and serve some tea.

Soon Hong Wu brought a bowl of tea to Xia Jinzhong and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how did you become a coachman? Sir, what does it mean?"

Xia Jinzhong smiled and said, "It was arranged by my adoptive father. Lord Qin is a teacher worthy of respect, and as a student, I should do the same. Hongwu, I will record what I have learned, and you can learn from it too. I guarantee that it will be refreshing and beneficial!"

There are some things he can't tell his sister.

He had already decided that from now on, he would keep his sister away from struggle and let her be an ordinary person. He didn't dare to think about what would happen if his sister became an enemy of Qin Zheng!

Hongwu said "hmm".

"Hongwu, you should talk to Qin Zheng and settle down in Hongtong County. You can't always be guarding the gate here, right?" Xia Jinzhong said carefully. He had already planned to talk to Qin Zheng. What would Qin Zheng think about letting such a beautiful girl guard the gate?

Hong Wu smiled bitterly: "Brother, it was Master Qin who saved me. I am already very satisfied."

"Well, take care of yourself!" Xia Jinzhong didn't say anything else. He handed the empty bowl to Hong Wu and turned to get in the car.

The carriage left.

Hong Wu turned around and went back home.

Just as she put the tea bowl away, she saw Su Xiaoman coming over: "Hongwu, the master is calling you."

Hongwu was shocked. Could it be that Lord Qin discovered it?

study.

Qin Zheng looked at the nervous Hong Wu and said, "Tomorrow, we will have a batch of supplies from the imperial capital shipped to Hongtong County. You can come with us. I have already arranged everything. I have bought you a house in Hongtong County and arranged a job for you at the textile factory!"

Hongwu was shocked and stood there in a daze!

What surprised her was not that she was asked to work as a textile worker, but that Qin Zheng actually wanted to place her in Hongtong County?

His brother had just mentioned this, and she thought it was impossible.

How could Qin Zheng place an undercover agent in Hongtong County?

She is a spy, a professionally trained spy.

Although I am not very skilled, I am not an ordinary person after all!

How could she know that Qin Zheng didn't take the spies trained by Xia Bitu seriously at all.

He arranged for Hongwu to go to Hongtong County because Hongwu had just debuted and knew nothing at the moment, and had not done anything harmful to the world.

There is no absolute trust in the world. Qin Zheng and Xia Jinzhong are enemies, and Xia Jinzhong entrusting Hongwu to him is not absolute trust.

Qin Zheng would not absolutely trust Xia Jinzhong and Hong Wu.

But this did not affect his helping Hongwu.

As long as Hong Wu is in Hongtong County, the Fuzhen Sect will not dare to take action against Hongtong County.

If anyone thinks that Qin Zheng is a good man, they are totally wrong.

I can only say that Qin Zheng is not a bad person!

Hongwu left the study, feeling a little lost.

She couldn't bear to be too far away from her brother.

It seems that he doesn't want to be too far away from Lord Qin.

Somehow, even if Qin Zheng asked her to guard the gate, she would feel safe as long as she could see Lord Qin every day.

But she knew that even if the Prime Minister let her go today, he might not do that tomorrow.

In this world, Hongtong County is the only place where the Prime Minister cannot reach.

She was very worried about her brother who was with the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister, this is terrible!

However, she could only obey Qin Zheng's arrangements.

Prime Minister's House.

By the pond, Xia Bitu was feeding the fish.

In the pond, dozens of colorful koi are competing for food among the lotus leaves!

Xia Jinzhong stood by with his hands hanging down and his head lowered.

After a long while, Xia Bitu, with a gloomy face, finally said, "I won't turn back until I hit the wall. Now, do you understand how powerful Qin Zheng is?"

Xia Jinzhong's face flushed: "I know I was wrong. I didn't listen to my adoptive father's warning!"

Xia Bitu said expressionlessly, "Don't waste your time. You can't beat Qin Zheng."

Xia Jinzhong lowered his head in shame: "I am incompetent!"

Xia Bitu snorted coldly: "If Qin Zheng were you, Dazhen would have been restored long ago!"

Xia Jinzhong said nothing, feeling extremely ashamed!

Xia Bitu glanced at Xia Jinzhong with a look of dismay. "He's right. He's done his best! If you had believed him today, your men wouldn't have died. Do you know why he lied to you about an ambush in the alley?"

Xia Jinzhong was stunned. Wasn't this a joke?

Seeing Xia Jinzhong's expression, Xia Bitu shook his head, his face full of disappointment: "He is still saving you!"

"Save me?" Xia Jinzhong was stunned.

Xia Bitu said, "If you had attacked him then, he would have killed you without mercy! And you would have died for sure! He lied to you, but he also made you give up attacking him. He wasn't trying to save himself, but because he didn't want to kill you!"

Xia Jinzhong's body trembled, his face pale: "He, is a master? How is that possible?"

Xia Jinzhong suddenly noticed that Xia Bitu looked at him with increasing disappointment.

Suddenly, I felt even more ashamed. Why couldn’t I figure it out?

But I just can’t figure it out!

Xia Bitu sighed, "A true master uses his brain. If he wanted to, he wouldn't need the protection of a master at all!"

Xia Jinzhong's face changed, and he suddenly remembered that Qin Zheng's words almost killed him.

He didn't dare tell his adoptive father about this.

Because no one would raise a fool for nothing!

He can't lose his value in front of Xia Bitu!

"Remember today's lesson. If you still don't know how to advance or retreat, the Fuzhen Sect would have been wiped out long before the restoration of the country!" Xia Jinzhong said earnestly.

Xia Jinzhong's old face turned red and he felt ashamed!

Xia Bitu suddenly sighed. "Not to mention you, even I was confident of victory, but his appearance completely ruined all my preparations, forcing me to start all over again. This is the main reason why I compromised with the Empress and cooperated with her!"

Xia Jinzhong was shocked: "Failure at the last moment? Foster father, hasn't Qin Zheng made a move on you yet?"

Xia Bitu looked at Xia Jinzhong with even greater disappointment. "Didn't he make a move? There are many ways to do something, not just assassination and open and covert fighting! You didn't see him make a move because the gap between you and him is so huge, like there are several mountains between you!"

Xia Jinzhong lowered his head and said nothing, feeling a surge of shame again.

Xia Bitu looked at the koi in the pond and said quietly:

"The enemy's wisdom is as vast as an elephant; your talent is as tiny as an ant. He can crush you into nothingness with just a finger. Be loyal. If you can truly become his chariot driver, that will be your good fortune!"

After saying that, he handed the golden bowl of fish food to the embarrassed Xia Jinzhong and turned to leave.

But he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... We have met a worthy opponent. I will not rest in peace until I die fighting you!"

Xia Bitu held the golden basin, his face livid: "Qin Zheng, I want to fight you too!"

Bang!

He crushed the golden basin, and the fish food scattered all over the floor...
