The first county magistrate in history

clap clap clap...

Tian Fuan suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Sir, what are you afraid of will come true. What should you do?"

Zhang Mingli gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency is so low-key and hidden so deeply. Who spread the news?"

"Sir, why don't you run away!" Wu Xiaoyou, who came to report, said anxiously.

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly: "The whole world belongs to the Empress, where can I run?"

Tian Fuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir, aren't you sick?"

"..." Qin Zheng said helplessly: "This is an imperial decree. Even if I am sick, as long as I am not dead, I have to go. Otherwise, it would be disobeying the imperial decree!"

Zhang Mingli suggested: "At worst, we can fight to the death. We have the Sky Thunder Cannon, so what are we afraid of?"

Bang!

Qin Zheng kicked him and cursed, "Xiaoyou is young and ignorant, but you're already buried up to your neck in the dirt, why don't you grow your brain? Is the Sky Thunder Cannon omnipotent? The Daqian Dynasty has millions of troops, just passing through, and they can flatten Hongtong County. One war means ten years of suffering, what will the people of Hongtong County do? Resistance is rebellion, we are not afraid, but the people cannot suffer with us and leave this bad reputation."

Wu Xiaoyou rolled his eyes. Who is ignorant?

Zhang Mingli rubbed his buttocks: "Sir, what do you say we should do?"

Qin Zheng said bitterly: "What else can I do? Go and receive the imperial edict!"

Qin Zheng brought a few people to the hall.

An old eunuch and several young eunuchs were standing in the hall.

The old eunuch looked very arrogant, with his nose in the air.

His name was Zhu Shigui. He was an official in charge of delivering imperial edicts.

This time, he was very dissatisfied with the job assigned to him by the Pedestrian Department. Hongtong County was too far away, and it was the most remote county in the poorest Liangjin Province. There was no money to be made there.

But when I saw this, wow, he was so rich!

I guess I can get a lot of reward money.

It's just that he was used to being arrogant and didn't take Qin Zheng, the small county magistrate, seriously.

"Qin Zheng, accept the order!" Zhu Shigui held his head high, chest puffed out, and spoke arrogantly with his belly sticking out.

The voice is shrill.

Qin Zheng and others knelt down to receive the order.

At this moment, Qin Zheng returned to his calm and composed state.

Since you can't escape it, just accept it calmly.

Zhu Shigui read the imperial edict: "The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, declares that Qin Aiqing is a man of extraordinary talent and profound learning. He possesses the ability to govern the world and the determination to stabilize and secure the nation. Now, as Liangjin is suffering from drought, it is time for him to serve. The ministers have strongly recommended that Qin Aiqing be worthy of this important task.

"I appoint Qin Zheng as the Imperial Commissioner for Disaster Relief in Liangjin. I authorize the dispatch of fifty Imperial Guards and one thousand Yihui troops, at the command of Minister Qin, to escort one million taels of silver and gold to Liangjin for disaster relief. I place high hopes on you, and I will diligently strive for your services. I shall depart within three days of receiving this decree. I decree this!"

Qin Zheng was shocked, and his ministers strongly recommended him?

Who the hell recommended me? Just wait.

"Qin Zheng accepts the imperial edict and thanks the Lord for His grace! Long live the emperor!" Qin Zheng took the imperial edict, feeling very bitter.

Sure enough, the empress knew that Laozi was talented, well-educated, and had the ability to rule the world, but he really had no ambition to stabilize the country!

Zhu Shigui then ordered the young eunuch he brought with him to present the official seal to Qin Zheng.

Tian Fuan's eyes were bright at this moment, and he whispered: "Sir, one million taels of gold!"

Bang!

Qin Zheng suddenly kicked him over and cursed in a low voice: "Old money-grubber, you dare to covet this money? Do you want to die?"

Zhu Shigui was stunned. It was true that unruly people came from poor and remote areas. This county magistrate must also have come from a poor and unruly background, otherwise how could he treat his subordinates like this?

Tian Fuan laughed and dodged away.

Qin Zheng ordered, "Xiaoyou, on my behalf, escort the Lord Xuanzhi out of the city. Lao Zhang, go arrange for the Yihui Army and the Imperial Guards to rest. Lao Tian, follow me and pack your bags!"

Wu Xiaoyou, Tian Fuan and Zhang Mingli all had strange expressions. They were just trying to kick people out and didn't want to entertain the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict!

How dare you offend a eunuch, a eunuch from the imperial city at that?

Adults are awesome!

Qin Zheng is not ignorant of the ways of the world. If this damn eunuch is polite to him, he will really reward him. After all, he also understands the unspoken rules.

Moreover, he understood that it is better to offend a perfect person than a eunuch.

Eunuchs are incomplete, and most of them are perverted, dark and evil.

But this damn eunuch is so arrogant. You are just a rice paper official, only of the ninth rank. I am at least of the seventh rank. Why are you showing off in front of me?

Qin Zheng got angry just by looking at him. He was already in a bad mood, so how could he give him face?

Zhu Shigui was completely stunned. He had never seen such a foolish county magistrate. It would be fine if you didn't give me the reward money, but you also want to drive me away? I am the official who announced the imperial decree.

But when he met this stupid county magistrate, he had no idea what to do.

He hurriedly said, "Master Qin, we have come a long way and are exhausted. We haven't even had a sip of water. Can you arrange for us to rest in an inn for a few days?"

Qin Zheng was stunned. "What does this have to do with us? There's no stipulation in Daqian law that local government offices must entertain imperial decree officials. If there's no stipulation, how will the money for this entertainment be recorded? Sir Imperial Decree Official, I'm doing this for your own good. If His Majesty knew that you and I had violated the rules, it would be bad for everyone!"

Zhu Shigui's face looked ugly. Damn, you are too stingy.

Want to play this Rigellen with me?

However, he couldn't force Qin Zheng to arrange them.

"Lord Qin, can we pay for our own accommodation in the inn?" Because it was an urgent imperial decree, Zhu Shigui had been traveling non-stop all the way and was exhausted. Now he just wanted to rest.

Qin Zheng was very happy: "The posthouse is free, that's the rule. However, apart from accommodation, other things need to be charged according to the normal fees."

Zhu Shigui gritted his teeth and said in a shrill voice, "I know the rules."

He cursed in his heart, not only did he get nothing, but he also had to spend money. This was the first time he felt so embarrassed since he became an official announcing imperial decrees.

Qin Zheng, you blind bastard, just wait!
