The first county magistrate in history

"What? Qin Zheng brought people here, what does he want?" In the prefect's mansion, Jia Sizhen jumped up from the bed.

The eighteen-year-old concubine beside him pulled the quilt over him in dissatisfaction and continued to sleep.

Outside the door, Han Jiance, the legal advisor, hurriedly replied, "Sir, they're definitely here with ill intentions. Some of them are armed with shovels, crowbars, and copper picks—all essential for raiding a property!"

"Qin Zheng, are you kidding me?" Jia Sizhen was furious.

If he doesn't figure it out now, he is not worthy of being a prefect.

"Go quickly and transfer the property!" Jia Sizhen roared.

"Sir, it's too late to transfer the property now. You can only come forward to coordinate with him. I have prepared one million taels of silver notes for you." Han Jiance urged.

"So many? You prodigal son." Jia Sizhen put on his clothes and ran out.

Han Jiance said hurriedly, "Sir, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. You know how evil he is and how big his appetite is. How can it be done with less? Give him 500,000 taels first and see. If that doesn't work, give him all. I have already sent people to mobilize officers and soldiers to protect you. If he really dares to confiscate your property..."

Han Jiance looked sinister and didn't say anything else.

Handed over two silver notes.

Jia Sizhen quickly stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves, tied his robe belt, and ran to the front yard.

In the front yard, the sound of banging on the door was deafening.

"The Imperial Envoy has arrived, open the door!"

"If you don't open the door, we'll break it down!"

Someone is shouting outside the door!

"Open the door!" Jia Sizhen knew that he had no choice but to open the door.

The gate was open and lanterns and torches were bright outside.

One thousand Yihui soldiers and three hundred soldiers wearing red armor surrounded Qin Zheng who was riding a tall horse.

The soldiers in Hongtong County are all special forces in disguise.

There were originally five hundred, but two hundred were left in Zuo Fengshan.

"Lord Qin, what are you doing?" Jia Sizhen pretended not to know.

Qin Zheng's expression was serious at the moment, and there was no trace of the smile he had when they were drinking together during the day.

"Yangping County Prefect Jia Sizhen, please accept the order!" Qin Zheng shouted.

He took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and unfolded it.

"I accept your order!" Jia Sizhen quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

I was so panicked. Why did the imperial edict suddenly come?

Qin Zheng read out the imperial edict he had written, concluding with the following words: "... All officials in Liangjin Prefecture are ordered to cooperate fully. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed without mercy! This is my decree!"

Kill without mercy?

Jia Sizhen was sweating profusely!

"Your humble servant has received the imperial edict. Long live the emperor!" Jia Sizhen took the imperial edict.

"Lord Qin, please spare me a moment to talk!" Jia Sizhen said tremblingly.

Qin Zheng asked, "What's the matter?"

behind the door.

Jia Sizhen took out a 500,000 tael silver note and pressed it into Qin Zheng's hand. "Sir, while not all the officials in Yangping County are dedicated to their work, none of them are traitors or corrupt. Could you please show some mercy? This is a crucial time for disaster relief. Such a large-scale investigation would likely cause panic among the people and intimidate the officials, hindering our subsequent work."

Qin Zheng glanced at the banknotes, his eyes lit up, but he said: "Master Jia, this is an imperial decree, who dares to cheat? I haven't lived enough."

Jia Sizhen saw Qin Zheng’s eyes and thought, what the hell are you pretending to be?

He handed Qin Zheng another silver note worth 500,000 taels. He smiled and said through gritted teeth, "Your Excellency is wise and powerful, insightful, and compassionate to the people. As the governor of Yangping County, I thank you!"

Qin Zheng took it and smiled: "You have a point."

Jia Sizhen felt relieved, it was done.

Suddenly, Qin Zheng shouted, "Jia Sizhen, how dare you openly bribe me? Come, arrest him!"

Whoosh, Wu Xiaoyou, who had been prepared for a long time, appeared in an instant, and with a beautiful grappling move, he knocked the fat Jia Sizhen to the ground.

Zhang Shaoyong and other Yihui soldiers were stunned. What kind of kung fu was Wu Xiaoyou's? It was so beautiful and skillful.

You have to know that Wu Xiaoyou is a woman, and Jia Sizhen weighs at least twice as much as her.

Without any instructions, two special agents came over carrying the shackle and skillfully put it around Jia Sizhen's neck.

Click, click, even his hands were locked.

The hundred-jin-weight shackles pressed Jia Sizhen so hard that he couldn't even get up.

He tilted his head and glared at Qin Zheng: "Master Qin, what do you mean?"

He never dreamed that Qin Zheng would change his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

Qin Zheng didn't even look at him: "Shut his stinky mouth!"

Bang, bang, bang, the soldiers punched Jia Sizhen in the mouth several times.

With a hiss, several teeth spurted out along with blood. Jia Sizhen was crying out in frustration with blood gushing out of his mouth, but he couldn't utter a single clear word.

Zhang Shaoyong grinned. Is this what it means to silence someone?

He thought he was going to stuff a cloth over his mouth.

Xia Mo Ning asked Wu Xiaoyou in surprise: "Is Lord Qin serious?"

But she knew it was a fake imperial edict.

Wu Xiaoyou said calmly, "If we don't capture the Yangping County prefect, how can Liangjin Governor Wu Guanggui be afraid? Didn't you see my master come here in a swagger, and Wu Guanggui didn't show up, nor did he come to greet him?

He's the confidant of the King of the North, and doesn't take my master, a small county magistrate, seriously at all. He might even be waiting for my master to pay him an audience. If we don't intimidate him, my master will be unable to move forward, and how can we provide disaster relief?"

Xia Mo Ning was shocked. It turned out that Qin Zheng was killing two birds with one stone, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?

Qin Zheng suddenly saw Han Jiance trying to escape and shouted, "Catch him too!"

A soldier kicked Han Jance down with one kick, then pulled out a cowhide rope from his waist and tied him up.

Move quickly.

Han Jiance was so frightened that he pissed himself, and shouted, "Guardians, why don't you take action?"

He had already seen that Qin Zheng would not let them go, and if he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to resist.

Bang bang bang. As soon as he opened his mouth, the soldiers knocked out all his teeth.

At this moment, Jia Sizhen's five hundred personal soldiers finally reacted and drew their swords.

Qin Zheng shouted angrily, "Your Majesty's decree is right here. Are you planning to rebel? Aren't you afraid of having your entire clan exterminated?"

However, these personal soldiers seemed not to hear Qin Zheng's warning, and rushed forward shouting and killing.

Qin Zheng frowned: "Death warrior?"

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Yihuijun, kill!"

"Five hundred Yihui soldiers, kill!" Zhang Shaoyong shouted.

Five hundred Yihui soldiers pounced on them like wolves and tigers.

Zhang Shaoyong thought the battle could be over in an instant, but the battle turned out to be a close one.

Zhang Shaoyong also realized at this moment that these people were death warriors, otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the Yihui Army, how could they not be able to fight for so long.

The death warriors are fearless and desperate, and their moves are ruthless, with no regard for their own safety.

Moreover, could the personal soldiers recruited by Jia Sizhen be ordinary desperadoes?

Qin Zheng frowned and glanced at Zhang Shaoyong: "Are you really the Yihui Army?"

Zhang Shaoyong's old face flushed red. He still underestimated the combat effectiveness of these assassins.

He was just about to order the remaining 500 Yihui soldiers to attack together.

But Qin Zheng just waved his hand and said, "Three rows, quick battle, quick decision!"

"Yes?" A burly man waved his hand, "Three platoons, follow me."

Whoosh, thirty people rushed out of the special service team, holding machetes, and rushed forward with the third platoon leader.
