The first county magistrate in history

"Oh, Lord Qin, are you so happy that you fainted?" Zhu Shigui was shocked.

Wu Xiaoyou hurriedly supported Qin Zheng and thought to himself, Sir, it’s no use for you to pretend to be sick now.

Hongwu also came to help.

Qin Zheng was not pretending, he was anxious.

It's over, it's over!

He shook off Wu Xiaoyou and Hong Wu and glared at Zhu Shigui: "Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

Zhu Shigui laughed: "Master Qin, you don't know what these new terms, such as Special Economic Zone, District Head, Economic Management Committee, and Director, mean? To be honest, I don't know either."

Qin Zheng: “…”

He asked, "Eunuch Zhu, are you familiar with the imperial capital?"

Zhu Shigui was stunned. Why did he suddenly turn here?

Lord Qin's train of thought is indeed very strange and his thoughts jump too quickly.

He replied, "Very familiar. Sir Qin, what can I do for you?"

Qin Zheng asked directly: "How many Xia families are there in the imperial capital?"

Wu Xiaoyou's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of something.

Zhu Shigui thought for a moment and said, "In the Daqian Dynasty, the Xia family had dozens of branches. In addition to the Xia royal family, there were five other Xia imperial families in the imperial capital."

"The Emperor's Family?" Qin Zheng was stunned. He had never heard of it.

Zhu Shigui explained: "When the late emperor founded the Daqian Dynasty, he granted the title of imperial clan to all the Xia families in the world, and called them the imperial clans."

Qin Zheng didn't say anything.

Wu Xiaoyou understood everything at this moment. Xia Ling and Xia Ning were also from the Dijue family?

It's over, these two people must be traitors.

"Sir!" Wu Xiaoyou was filled with murderous intent.

Qin Zheng's face turned grim: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Kowtow to accept the order.

Then he stood up and asked, "Eunuch Zhu, who will take care of Liangjin Mansion while I'm away?"

Zhu Shigui smiled and said, "Master Qin, don't worry. Liangjin Prefecture is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Master Jin Zhongren, the governor of Guanghe County. Master Jin will be here soon!"

Qin Zheng understood and told Wu Xiaoyou: "Arrange for Eunuch Zhu to go to the inn to rest."

Zhu Shigui was startled and said quickly, "Master Qin, I am anxious to return to the palace to report, so I dare not delay any longer. Bye!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

He didn't dare to stay, otherwise he would have to go back naked.

Hong Wu was stunned. Why did the official who issued the imperial decree run away as if he was afraid of something terrifying?

In the back hall, Hong Wu was rudely driven away by Qin Zheng.

Only Su Xiaoman and Wu Xiaoyou were left in the room.

"Sir, you have been so nice to Xia Ling and Xia Ning, but they are actually spies of the Empress." Su Xiaoman said angrily.

Wu Xiaoyou's murderous intent remained undiminished: "Sir, we can't just let this go. Call Xia Ning here, I'll interrogate her personally!"

Qin Zheng didn't say anything, feeling mixed emotions.

Xia Ling is his woman, and Xia Ning is his sister-in-law. How should he deal with it?

Even if he is the Empress's spy, he cannot be killed!

At this moment, even Qin Zheng didn't expect that Xia Ling was the current empress Xia Mochu, and Xia Mo Ning was Princess Xia Mo Ning.

In fact, he didn't even know that all the Xia family members in the world were imperial nobility.

Originally, he had no intention of entering the court, so he didn't care much about the affairs of the imperial family.

At this moment, Qin Zheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

Who can’t sleep with you?

Why did you sleep with the Xia family?

"Xiao Man, go pack your things, we will go back to Hongtong County tonight." Qin Zheng didn't want to enter the court at all, let alone become a minister or a director.

"Yes!" Su Xiaoman knew that the adults did not want to serve as an official in the court, so she went back to pack up immediately.

Wu Xiaoyou asked worriedly, "Will it work?"

Qin Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I just don't believe that the Empress would attack my Hongtong County because of this. I haven't committed any crime. I just resigned."

Wu Xiaoyou asked, "Should we notify the Yihui Army?"

Qin Zheng shook his head. "Even though Shao Yong knows we won't be going to the Imperial Capital or Gaomi, we should still not tell him. It might cause trouble for them. We can leave secretly so he can report back."

"Where is Hongwu?" Wu Xiaoyou asked.

Qin Zheng frowned: "She?"

It’s not clear yet.

"Take her back to Hongtong County. It will be even more unsafe if we let her go!" Qin Zheng made the decision.

"That's fine." Wu Xiaoyou nodded.

Qin Zheng: "Have the Yang family father and daughter arrived in Hongtong County?"

Wu Xiaoyou replied, "He's here, everything has been arranged. Yang Renpu refused to rest and has become the chief accountant."

Qin Zheng sighed: "What a waste of talent!"

Wu Xiaoyou said: "It's better than living a miserable life. He is extremely happy."

Qin Zheng nodded: "That's good!"

Wu Xiaoyou asked again, "Where's Xia Ning?"

Qin Zheng had a headache: "Take her with you."

Wu Xiaoyou looked at Qin Zheng deeply, then turned and left.

Qin Zheng's attitude towards Xia Ning made her more certain that Qin Zheng and Xia Ling had a close relationship.

At midnight, Qin Zheng had packed up and was about to go out to meet Wu Xiaoyou and others.

Suddenly, a cool breeze came from the open rear window, and a figure rushed in like lightning.

Qin Zheng was startled and raised his right arm instantly.

He also has a crossbow, and...

At the same time, call Wu Xiaoyou and the special forces.

However, the man was so fast that before Qin Zheng could mobilize his crossbow or call out for help, the man had already grabbed his throat.

He also stuffed something into Qin Zheng's mouth in an instant.

Snapped!

The man patted Qin Zheng's chest lightly.

Gulp, Qin Zheng swallowed the thing.

Qin Zheng looked at the person in a daze: "Who are you?"

Only now could I see clearly that the person coming was an old man in a purple robe.

"Your Majesty is wise. You really want to run away." Yuan Shiqing looked at Qin Zheng with amusement: "You are such a weirdo!"

When he first received the imperial edict, he didn't believe it.

Is there anyone who doesn’t want to serve as an official in the court?

How can it be?

Today I finally opened my eyes. Qin Zheng really wants to run away!

"Did His Majesty send you?" Qin Zheng looked grim.

He was not afraid. He believed that the empress would not kill him, otherwise there would be no need for this steward Yuan to talk nonsense.

Yuan Shiqing said solemnly, "Lord Qin has made outstanding contributions and is a pillar of the country. His Majesty is concerned for your safety and has ordered me to escort you to the palace."

Qin Zheng cursed in his heart, this is not an escort, this is kidnapping!

But this cannot be said.

Qin Zheng tried to calm himself down: "What did you just give me to eat?"

Yuan Shiqing was very happy: "Tianzao, I just slapped you, so I will give you a sweet date as a reward!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

Would you believe it?

It must be poison.

"Since Lord Qin has packed up, let's set off tonight!" Yuan Shiqing said with a wry smile.

"Well... I haven't handed over the task to Lord Jin yet." Qin Zheng wanted to delay time and think of a solution.

Yuan Shiqing sneered: "No need, we know everything about Liangjin Mansion and what Lord Qin did."

Qin Zheng was about to cry. Now he had become a lamb to be slaughtered.

In the yard, the Special Service Battalion, Wu Xiaoyou, Su Xiaoman, Xia Mo Ning, Hong Wu and others were already waiting for Qin Zheng.

Seeing that there was someone following Qin Zheng, everyone except Xia Mo Ning was puzzled.

"Notify the Yihui Army to set off for the imperial capital immediately." Qin Zhengdu began to cry.

Going to the imperial capital?

"Who is he?" Wu Xiaoyou asked.

Her and the special forces battalion's expressions changed drastically at this moment. They both looked at Yuan Shiqing, their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists.

They had followed Qin Zheng for many years and had already noticed something was wrong.

Yuan Shiqing raised his hand, revealing a golden token: "I, the Imperial Guard Yuan Shiqing, am ordered by His Majesty to escort Lord Qin to the court."

Yuan Shiqing had no intention of hiding it at all.

Canglang...

Wu Xiaoyou and all the special forces members drew their swords in an instant.

Murderous aura instantly filled the air.

Yuan Shiqing was stunned. The murderous aura was so strong, even stronger than that of the imperial guards.

I have revealed my identity, and they still dare to do this?

Yuan Shiqing's face darkened.

At this moment, Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "Put it all away, he gave me poison."

"grown ups……"

"grown ups……"

Wu Xiaoyou and others exclaimed.

Staring at Yuan Shiqing.

Yuan Shiqing said seriously: "Master Qin, you misunderstood. It's really sweet, if you don't believe it, I can't help it."

Who will believe?

Except for Xia Mo Ning who was trying to hold back her laughter!

The group left the government office, and soon Zhang Shaoyong led his team to meet up with them.

"Sir Qin, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Shaoyong was puzzled.

Qin Zheng pointed at Yuan Shiqing and asked, "Do you know him?"

Zhang Shaoyong followed Qin Zheng's finger and looked at Yuan Shiqing.

His expression changed drastically, and he dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee: "Captain Zhang Shaoyong greets the Chief of the Imperial Guards."

Qin Zheng and others were shocked. Is this old man the chief of the imperial guards?

"Get up." Yuan Shiqing said lightly, and then got into the carriage.

"Qin Zheng, are you planning to walk?" Yuan Shiqing's voice came from the carriage.

Qin Zhengsheng had no choice but to get into the carriage.

The team set off.

Wu Xiaoyou and Zhang Shaoyong rode side by side.

"Captain Zhang, how good is Yuan Shiqing's martial arts?" Wu Xiaoyou asked with gritted teeth, holding the hilt of his sword.
