The first county magistrate in history

At this moment, Qin Zheng's eyes were red.

The love that the folks have for him is like the grace of a sweet tangerine tree. How could he possibly deserve this?

He forced a smile and said loudly, "Godfather, godmother, my children, and fellow villagers! Our Hongtong County has also suffered natural disasters, and we know how much suffering the people in the disaster-stricken areas have endured.

"Right now, Liangjin Province is experiencing a drought unseen in a century, and crops are dying of thirst. Can we bear to watch the people suffer from hunger and thirst and do nothing?"

He said this to appease the people, and it was also the truth.

He wanted to give up, to turn a deaf ear to what was happening in the world, and to be the emperor in Hongtong County.

However, after learning about Liang Jin's condition, he appeared indifferent, but in fact he couldn't sleep all night and was already thinking of a solution.

Otherwise, even if the empress sent troops to denounce him, he would not go.

"Godson, did you volunteer?" Wei Shufen was surprised.

Qin Zheng nodded. "Your Majesty didn't force me to go. He just wanted me to go and see if there's a way to fix the situation. I'll be back. As you saw, Your Majesty even sent the Yihui Army and the Imperial Guards to protect me!"

After Qin Zheng's words, the people fell silent.

The godfather and godmother also stopped talking.

Wei Shufen suddenly sighed: "Children, stop hugging your godfather."

The children quickly let go of Qin Zheng.

Wei Shufen is the oldest and is the godmother of County Magistrate Qin. She is very prestigious in Hongtong County.

"Son, are you sure you want to go?" Wei Shufen held Qin Zheng's hand tightly, her face full of reluctance.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Godmother, we have to go!"

Wei Shufen's eyes reddened and tears fell. She suddenly turned around and shouted to the people, "Fellow villagers, we adults are going to do good deeds, and we can't stop us. But we can't just do nothing. Now that every family is well-off, let's donate some money to the people in the disaster area!"

The voice just fell.

woohoo hoo...

The people living nearby donated generously, and a flood of small change and even silver ingots flew over.

Qin Zheng and his group were instantly submerged.

It was okay for the Yihui Army because they were wearing armor and helmets, but Qin Zheng and the others and the eunuchs were hit on the head and got a big bump before they could even react.

Especially the most silver went to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng was almost crushed to death.

“Thank you, folks!”

thump!

Qin Zheng knelt on the ground.

He has to collect these donations.

Because this is Hongtong County's love for the Liangjin disaster area.

Thump, thump!

Wu Xiaoyou and the five hundred special agents who were accompanying them knelt down when they saw the adults kneeling down.

Zhu Shigui and Zhang Shaoyong looked at each other and saw the shock and emotion in each other's eyes.

The two also knelt down.

Then, the Yihui Army and those young eunuchs also knelt down.

As soon as Qin Zheng knelt down, he saw Wei Shufen and others, as well as the people behind them, all kneeling down.

Those behind didn't know what had happened in front, and the disease was passed from person to person, so the ten-mile-long street was filled with people kneeling.

"Fellow villagers, get up quickly!" Seeing this, Qin Zheng quickly got up and stepped forward to help. He first helped Wei Shufen and others up, and then went to help others.

Suddenly Wei Shufen shouted, "Fellow villagers, please get up. Don't tire the adults out."

Her words were so effective that everyone along the ten-mile long street stood up.

But there was more crying.

Wei Shufen shouted again, "Make way for us! Those who donated money, put the money in the middle of the road. Look how we hit the adults! We almost killed them!"

Her words eased the sadness and anger, and there was laughter amid the crying.

Qin Zheng led his troops forward, and the ten-mile-long street was paved with gold and silver.

When they arrived at the city gate, they had filled two carriages. A rough estimate was that there were at least two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Xia Mo Ning rubbed the big bump on the back of her head, watching all the way, shocked all the way!

This little county magistrate is truly remarkable; he is so popular among the people.

The people of Hongtong County are really rich, with donations totaling over 200,000 taels!

At the city gate, Qin Zheng turned around, bowed deeply to the people who were still following him, and then turned and left.

The moment Qin Zheng turned around, Xia Mo Ning saw that he was actually crying.

Only after leaving the city did Qin Zheng get on the carriage.

Wu Xiaoyou was driving the car.

Xia Mo Ning, Su Xiao Man and Qin Zheng were sitting in a car.

Qin Zheng was silent and depressed.

"Puchi!" Xia Mo Ning suddenly laughed out loud.

Qin Zheng and Su Xiaoman looked at her in confusion.

Xia Mo Ning's pretty face flushed, and she covered her mouth and said, "Xiao Man, look at your master, doesn't he look like a rising star?"

laugh!

Su Xiaoman glanced at Qin Zheng and laughed out loud.

At this moment, Qin Zheng not only had a big bump on his head, but also two big bumps on both sides of his forehead, like two horns...

Shortly after leaving Hongtong County, Qin Zheng sent out more than a hundred special agents to take the lead.

"Is this your private army? Are they collecting intelligence?" Xia Mo Ning was very smart and asked Qin Zheng.

Su Xiaoman laughed in her heart, more than that!

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Mo Ning in surprise. Not bad, what a smart girl.

The special forces cannot reveal their true identities.

Qin Zheng said, "They are not private armed forces, but the city defense army. Hongtong County is located in a remote area, and the county residents have never seen the market. I brought them out to see the market and explore the way."

Xia Mo Ningxin said, don't hide it, I'm not a fool.

"Lord Qin, are you also planning to go on an incognito visit to provide disaster relief this time?" Xia Mo Ning asked.

Qin Zheng shook his head: "No need!"

Xia Mo Ning was puzzled: "Why?"

Although she loved to play and had never left the imperial capital, she grew up within the palace walls after all. She was influenced by her surroundings and knew a little about what some imperial envoys did.

Qin Zheng replied, "Your Majesty's dispatch of an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief cannot be concealed from the local authorities. Even a fool would know that the imperial envoy would travel incognito."

Xia Mo Ning's eyes rolled around twice. "I see. You were attracting their attention in public to cover up those people from gathering intelligence?"

Qin Zheng's eyes fixed, damn, I can't hide it anymore, this girl has such a sharp gaze!

There was no point in hiding it any further, so she had to admit frankly: "That's what I meant. Miss Xia, you are indeed very smart."

Being praised, Xia Mo frowned and smiled: "That's right, this lady is talented and has made a lot of money."

A huge profit?

Qin Zheng: “…”

A black line on the forehead.

Su Xiaoman: “…”

I am also speechless.

Is there such a metaphor?

With this level of education, how can he be so talented?

"Lord Qin..." Suddenly, Zhu Shigui urged his horse to come to the carriage.

Qin Zheng opened the curtains: "What's going on?"

Zhu Shigui, with a mournful face, pleaded, "Master Qin, we will go our separate ways at the next crossroads."

Qin Zheng nodded: "Let's go!"

As he said this, he was about to lower the curtains.

Zhu Shigui quickly said, "Sir Qin, could you lend me some money for the trip?"

laugh!

Xia Mo Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She was present when Zhu Shigui checked out at the inn.

My goodness, the posthouse is so dark!

It was obvious that Qin Zheng was trying to trick him, but the old eunuch had no idea what to do.

Qin Zheng frowned: "How much do you want to borrow, when will you pay it back, and how much interest will be paid?"

Zhu Shigui's body swayed and he almost fell off his horse.

You cheated me out of so much money that I almost went back naked, and you still want interest?

Xia Mo Ning almost died of laughter when she saw the father-in-law's expression of despair.

Xiao Man couldn't help laughing. She thought, you're allowed to show off with my master? Anyone who shows off with my master never has a good ending.

Zhu Shigui was about to cry: "This trip to the imperial capital will require sleeping in the open air, feeding the horses and the people. We will need at least one hundred taels of silver. When you finish your mission, you will definitely go to the imperial capital, and then you will return it. As for the interest..."

Zhu Shigui gritted his teeth and said, "You have the final say, sir."

He didn't dare to bargain, otherwise what would he do if they didn't lend it to him?

Qin Zheng nodded. "You've been living a life of luxury in the imperial capital for a long time, so it's good to get some exercise. It's nice to sleep outdoors, with the sky as your blanket and the ground as your bed, the wind as your curtains, the stars and the moon as your light, the rivers and streams as your bed, and the mountains and rivers as your makeup. You're living a life of luxury more than anyone else, and I envy you to death!"

Two lines of tears appeared on Zhu Shigui's old face. He was so mean and lacked virtue.

This makes you say that it is simply heaven on earth.

Why the hell don't you go and experience it?

Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man had both finished laughing, and were feeling uncomfortable holding it back, their bodies trembling.

Poor father-in-law, how did you meet Qin Zheng?

Qin Zheng said to Xiao Man, "Give him one hundred taels."

Xiaoman took out a few silver bills from her arms, took out two and handed them to Zhu Shigui, and secretly gave him a wink.

Zhu Shigui didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw the amounts on the notes, one was for one hundred taels and the other for fifty taels.

I gave him fifty taels more.

Zhu Shigui looked at Xiao Man deeply, tears almost streaming down his face. This girl is a good person, why did she follow Qin Zheng, a jerk?

How could he know that Su Xiaoman didn't feel sorry for them, but was afraid of completely offending them, which would be detrimental to the adults.

Zhu Shigui and others left.

They didn't dare say when they returned that the gold had been replaced.

They all prayed in their hearts, praying that Lord Qin would be able to turn the tide.

Zhu Shigui had long lost his arrogance and wanted to worship County Magistrate Qin, burning incense and kowtowing three times and nine times to him every day.
