The first county magistrate in history

what?

Twenty thousand?

Everyone was shocked.

Jia Sizhen stared at the banknote and said, "Damn, isn't this mine?"

I suddenly felt uneasy.

It is true that the banknote is his, but Qin Zheng received it last night and donated it today.

What do you mean?

Originally, these officials wanted to just give up, but the Imperial Envoy donated so much money in public. If they didn't donate, wouldn't it be a disrespect to the Imperial Envoy?

They all looked at Jia Sizhen.

Jia Sizhen didn't expect Qin Zheng to do this.

He thought too much. He suspected that Qin Zheng was soliciting bribes in disguise under the guise of donations, and finally took all the donations for himself.

Given his position, if it were him, he would definitely do so.

If that's the case, I really have to donate.

At this time, Qin Zheng said again: "How about this, I set a rule. Although I have donated all my savings, it only represents me personally. I won't force you. The amount of donation for each of you is 1% of your family savings. It's not much, right?"

No one said anything, thinking, are you kidding me?

However, this donation ratio is really not that high.

However, for those with extra income, their family savings are astronomical, which can be much more. However, how much savings you have is known only to you, and how much others know, so it is up to you to decide how much to donate.

Everyone was waiting for the attitude of the prefect Jia Sizhen.

Jia Sizhen rolled his eyes and said, "My annual salary is 1,200 taels. After deducting expenses, I have about 2,000 taels left in my family savings over the past few years. I am the governor of Yangping County. I feel uneasy when the people suffer. I have donated all of it. If I can't raise 2,000 taels, I will sell everything I have to make up for it!"

As soon as Jia Sizhen started, these officials knew the donation standards.

"My family savings are about 1,000 taels. I donated it all."

"This humble official will donate five hundred taels!"

"This humble official will donate one hundred taels!"

"I have an eighty-year-old mother at home and a crying child to feed. My expenses are too high, and I have nothing to save. However, I am willing to donate all of my salary of fifty taels this month."

"Your Majesty..."

Chaos and confusion.

In the end, there were even people who donated one or two taels of silver...

Qin Zheng frowned, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Damn it, since you’re hiding it, don’t blame me for being cruel.

These parasites usually squeeze the people's money, but at critical moments they pretend to be penniless and disregard the lives of the people.

Watch how I expose your disguise and make you cry!

He calmly said to Wu Xiaoyou, "Everything is recorded in detail. This is the love of the officials for the people and the noble sentiment of being an official. It must be reported to His Majesty and announced to the world to commend them!"

"Yes!" Wu Xiaoyou understood and not only recorded it clearly, but also asked these officials to put their fingerprints on it.

No one would donate on the spot. They were all experienced people. Even a fool would know that no one would carry their family's wealth on them.

That would be like trying to hide one's own merits.

Register first, then go back to pick it up.

Qin Zheng called out to Jia Sizhen, "Master Jia, they will register their affairs. Please come with me to inspect them."

Jia Sizhen was startled and looked at his subordinates queuing up to register: "Just the two of us?"

Qin Zheng patted his broad shoulders and said, "I'm not familiar with Yangping County. Can you take me for a walk?"

Jia Sizhen was overjoyed and asked him to lead the way?

This is for the mouth.

If he leads the way, will the imperial envoy see things he shouldn't see?

"Okay. Please come in, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy!" Jia Sizhen happily led the way.

As soon as he left the government office, Xia Mo Ning chased after him: "Master Qin, I'll go with you." Jia Sizhen looked at Xia Mo Ning and asked in confusion: "Master, who is this girl?"

Qin Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment, fearing misunderstanding.

He brought a beautiful woman with him when he went out on business, and I thought there was something wrong with his lifestyle.

This matter cannot be explained.

Xia Mo Ning was quite clever. She smiled sweetly and bowed gracefully, "I am Xia Ning, the personal guard of Lord Qin. Nice to meet you, Lord Prefect."

"Oh?" Jia Sizhen suddenly revealed a surprised and dirty expression: "Haha, together, together!"

He cursed in his heart, saying that Qin Zheng was not only greedy, but also a scoundrel and shameless!

Qin Zheng glared at Xia Mo Ning speechlessly. Aren’t you trying to put me in an irretrievable situation?

It’s okay to have a female bodyguard, but a close bodyguard?

Isn’t this something to daydream about?

Besides, do you know martial arts?

But Xia Ning had already said it, and the more he explained, the more confused it became, so he might as well give up.

I had no choice but to say, “Follow me!”

Xia Mo Ning looked at Qin Zheng proudly and asked, "Am I reacting quickly enough?"

Qin Zheng ignored her.

In Jia Sizhen's eyes, Xia Mo Ning's expression was flirting!

Jia Sizhen is now really relieved, believing that Qin Zheng is not a good person, and is even worse than him.

On the way, Qin Zheng suddenly said, "Master Jia, please reimburse me for my 20,000 taels donation."

"Sir, what did you say?" Jia Sizhen stood there in a daze, thinking he had misheard.

Xia Mo Ning was also confused. Jia Sizhen owed Qin Zheng money?

Do they know each other?

Qin Zheng glared at him. "If the disaster in Yangping County isn't resolved, you'll be the one who loses your head, not me. I'm here to clean up your mess and solve your problems. I donated twenty thousand taels to set an example for you. I've worked so hard, you can't let me lose money, can you?"

Jia Sizhen looked at the angry Qin Zheng and was confused, dumbfounded, upset and dizzy.

Holy shit, how can this be an imperial envoy?

This is a rogue, a scoundrel and a filthy gangster!

Are those 20,000 taels of silver yours?

You earned the fame, why the hell should I reimburse you?

However, Jia Sizhen was happy instead. That's great. The more greedy you are, the easier it will be for me to do things.

You came here with one million taels of gold.

Jia Sizhen quickly pulled out two silver bills from his sleeve, beaming, and said in a flattering tone, "Sir, how could I allow you to spend money? I have already prepared it for you."

Qin Zheng took it and took a look at the amount, then his expression relaxed and he put the banknote into his sleeve.

But he muttered quietly, "You're so stingy! If I give you an extra three or five thousand, will you die?"

Jia Sizhen's body swayed and he almost fell down.
