The first county magistrate in history

Qin Zheng looked at Cai Bulun below the city, bowed and smiled, "I have recently suffered from anemia and low blood pressure, and cannot stand in low places, so I cannot go out of the city to greet you. I hope the prefect will forgive me."

Phew!

This time, Xia Mochu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Qiuhan couldn't help laughing. What's the relationship between low blood pressure and standing height?

At this time, a soldier whispered something in Cai Bulun's ear.

Cai Bulun's small eyes looked at Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan beside Qin Zheng.

Suddenly I felt that Xia Mochu looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen her. It was also because she was too far away and I couldn’t see her clearly.

Cai Bulun smiled and said, "It's alright, Lord Qin, take care of yourself. I'm here to arrest the wanted criminal. They killed Lord Hu, the magistrate."

"Oh?" Qin Zheng looked surprised. "They came to Hongtong County? Since this is official business, then could the prefect go into the city and search?"

"You actually let him in?" Li Qiuhan was shocked: "That's five thousand soldiers."

Qin Zheng didn't say anything.

Xia Mochu didn't say anything either, wanting to see what Qin Zheng was going to do.

However, to their surprise, Cai Bulun did not dare to enter the city.

Cai Bulun laughed and said, "Master Qin, I won't go in. Just hand the wanted criminal over to me."

Qin Zheng frowned: "Sir, I don't know what they look like, how can I find them?"

Cai Bulun pointed at the two women beside Qin Zheng and said politely, "They are among the wanted criminals."

"Oh?" Qin Zheng turned to look at the two women, then said to Cai Bulun below the city walls, "Sir, you must be mistaken. These are my two cousins, always by my side. How did they become murderers?"

Cai Bulun's smile gradually disappeared: "County Magistrate Qin, this matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."

Qin Zheng said: "I'm not kidding, you got the wrong person."

Cai Bulun's face darkened. "County Magistrate Qin, I've given you enough respect. After all, I'm your superior."

Qin Zheng said calmly: "Sir, I am also giving you face. Otherwise, you would not have come here if you entered my jurisdiction without my permission."

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan were both shocked. The superiors needed the approval of their subordinates to come to the subordinate jurisdiction?

Cai Bulun was furious, losing his previous politeness: "Qin Zheng, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I haven't settled the old score with you yet. Today, you hand over the person, otherwise..."

Qin Zheng sneered: "What else?"

Cai Bulun angrily threatened: "Otherwise, I will report to the court and destroy your Hongtong County."

Xia Mochu was speechless. He thought that Cai Bulun was going to lead his troops to attack.

Not to mention that Cai Bulun is corrupt and commits abuse of power, just his courage alone makes him unfit to be a prefect.

This prefect deserves to be killed!

Qin Zheng was disdainful and said arrogantly, "I, Qin Zheng, have only two words to describe my life and work: justice. I, Qin Zheng, have only one person in my heart: the people! You take your Yangguan Road, and I take mine. I disdain to be associated with you, and you don't even think about bullying my Hongtong County. If others do not offend me, I will not offend others. If others offend me, I will punish them even if they are far away! You can give it a try!"

Xia Mochu secretly praised: "Well said!"

Xuanzhou prefect Cai Bulun was furious: "You, you, you are hoarding troops and treating your superiors with disrespect. You are planning a rebellion!"

Qin Zheng sneered, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. Do you think the Empress would abuse her power for personal gain, embezzle, and pervert the law like you guys do?"

Xia Mochu was very proud. That is, this emperor is not that kind of person. This emperor has clean hands.

"You, you, you..." Cai Bulun was so angry that he pointed at Qin Zheng and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Qin Zheng sneered, "What do you mean? Good deeds are rewarded, evil deeds are punished. A corrupt official like you will be punished sooner or later. The worst that can happen is death by slow slicing, and the extermination of all nine generations of your clan!"

"I'm so angry!" Cai Bulun shouted, and suddenly, puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan were dumbfounded. They were so angry that they vomited blood?

"Wait, let's go!" Cai Bulun shouted.

Li Qiuhan was speechless: "Leaving now?"

But Qin Zheng suddenly shouted, "Do you think my Hongtong County is some place like your backyard? You can come and go as you please? Have you forgotten the rules of my Hongtong County?"

Xia Mochu wondered, what are the rules in Hongtong County?

At this moment, Qin Zheng continued, "Leave behind your horses, weapons, and armor, and get out!"

"Ah? Is this the rule?" Xia Mochu was convinced.

"Qin Zheng, you are going too far..." Cai Bulun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and roared.

But he didn't dare to order a charge.

This puzzled Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan. If it were them, they would have killed everyone just to save face, not to mention that he was the prefect and had 5,000 soldiers. How many soldiers did Hongtong County have?

What made him not dare to act rashly?

"Hmph, if you refuse to move and instead beat the guy who's going backwards, don't blame me, Hongtong County, for being rude!" Qin Zheng said, raising his hand.

Zhang Mingli on the city wall had been watching Qin Zheng. Seeing this, he waved the red flag.

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan saw that the soldiers standing next to a large object nearby quickly pulled off the red cloth, revealing a pitch-black cylindrical object.

A soldier held a round black ball and threw it into the tube.

"Qin Zheng, just wait for me!"

At this moment, Cai Bulun seemed to know what was going to happen. He screamed in fear and jumped onto the carriage: "Go, go!"

Five thousand soldiers quickly turned their horses around and ran away.

Xia Mochu opened her mouth slightly. What happened? Why were you scared away?

Is this the end?

Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng's raised hand suddenly fell down.

Zhang Mingli on the city wall suddenly pointed the red flag forward.

Then a soldier holding a fire stick lit something behind the big object.

Hiss, hiss, hiss, the flames flickered.

suddenly!

"Boom..."

A shocking and earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

Flame and smoke gushed out from the pitch-black tube.

A large black ball shot out and landed behind the soldiers at the foot of the city.

boom!

There was another loud bang, and the earth and rocks flew everywhere, and a large pit of more than ten meters was blown out on the spot!

thump!

thump!

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan sat down on the ground and were almost scared to death on the spot!

At this moment, there was chaos outside the city, with war horses neighing and running around in all directions.

Horse hair.

Some soldiers were thrown off their horses.

Cai Bulun's carriage was galloping and the horse was also furious. Suddenly, the carriage wheel hit a protruding rock.

With a loud bang, the carriage overturned and broke into pieces.

The horses broke free.

"Damn Qin Zheng! Hurry, throw away your horses, weapons and armor..." Cai Bulun crawled out of the ruins covered in dust and roared at the top of his lungs.

He knew that this was a warning. If he didn't follow the rules of Hongtong County, the thunder would definitely fall on him.

Five thousand soldiers quickly abandoned their horses, threw away their helmets and armor, threw away their weapons, and fled in a panic carrying Cai Bulun.

As soon as they left, countless strong men rushed out from the woods on both sides of the official road, some of them holding lassoes and rushing towards the war horses.

Some went straight to collect the armor and weapons on the ground.

Still shouting: "The thunder explodes, and there are thousands of ounces of gold!"
