The first county magistrate in history

Qin Zheng now hopes to completely resolve the issue between him and Miss Xia. As long as the conditions are not excessive, he will agree.

Now that the alarm has basically been lifted, he didn't refuse: "You guys eat first, I'll make arrangements now."

Qin Zheng stood up and left.

Xia Mochu glanced at Li Qiuhan with great pride: "How is it?"

Li Qiuhan raised both thumbs up: "Miss, you are the best!"

Xia Mochu was even more proud.

"This Qin Zheng is a capable man, it seems that he was really framed!" Xia Mochu said.

Li Qiuhan nodded, "Indeed. Miss, why aren't there so many good things in the palace? Even in the imperial city, I haven't seen any."

Xia Mochu frowned. "Investigate thoroughly. I want to see who controls these goodies and what their intentions are!"

Li Qiuhan nodded. "Even if the inner court of the imperial palace gets all the good things in the world first, at least it's not like they get nothing. Someone must have done something wrong. But I can't figure out what it means."

Xia Mochu's eyes flickered as she gritted her teeth, "No wonder Hongtong County is so rich. How much silver must they earn this year? Hehehe, they're richer than an empress like me. How can this be possible?"

Li Qiuhan looked at his master: "Miss. What do you want to do?"

Xia Mochu chuckled: "I have a brilliant plan!"

When Qin Zheng came back, he was holding a wooden box.

"These are all account books, including information about the agents." Qin Zheng placed the box on a chair. "These are all business secrets. Don't leak them out!"

At this moment, Qin Zheng was wondering, could it be that Miss Xia wanted to be the county magistrate's wife?

Although he didn't want to get married, he couldn't abandon Miss Xia now that things had come to this.

"I'll go back and take a look!" Xia Mochu understood what Qin Zheng meant. This matter must be directly related to those general agents.

"Miss Xia, there is some progress on that matter." Qin Zheng said, glancing at Li Qiuhan.

Xia Mochu immediately understood what was going on: "Let's talk about the key point."

Li Qiuhan looked at the two of them in confusion.

Qin Zheng said, "This man, nicknamed Swallow Li Si, was a roving thief. Unfortunately, he was very skilled in Qinggong, so to prevent him from escaping, he was killed on the spot by my bailiffs!"

"Swallow Li Si?"

"killed?"

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan exclaimed almost at the same time.

Qin Zheng said embarrassedly: "This is the rule I set. Criminals who resist arrest can be killed on the spot."

Xia Mochu was surprised and said, "This Swallow Li Si is very famous, but... I heard that he even stole things from the imperial palace. The palace sent experts to arrest him, but they couldn't catch him. How did you do it?"

"In Hongtong County, not to mention a thief, even a master from the imperial palace would never come back!" Qin Zheng said domineeringly.

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan looked at each other and saw the fear and worry in each other's eyes.

Xia Mochu thought, could it be that Qin Zheng really hoarded troops and raised a lot of experts?

He smiled and asked tentatively, "They say that Magistrate Qin has a strong army and strong horses, and it is indeed true."

Qin Zheng said sternly, "Hongtong County never keeps troops stationed, nor will we rebel. But no one should try to bully us. In Hongtong County, every citizen is a soldier!"

"What, everyone is a soldier?" Xia Mochu exclaimed.

The meat in Li Qiuhan's mouth fell out.

My God, Hongtong County has a population of more than 500,000, so doesn’t it have more than 500,000 soldiers?

After eating and drinking, Qin Zheng sent the two women to the carriage and sedan chair, but did not follow them.

Xia Mochu wished that Qin Zheng would not follow him.

The driver was an old man with a kind face and a scholarly air, and he was followed by a heroic woman in her thirties.

Qin Zheng introduced that the old man was Tian Fuan, the chief clerk of the county government, and the woman was Wu Xiaoyou, the chief constable of the county government's female detective squad.

After Qin Zheng left, Xia Mochu opened the curtain and asked, "Captain Wu, there is a female detective squad in Hongtong County."

Wu Xiaoyou said in a clear voice, "In the beginning, Hongtong County was very chaotic, and there were many crimes committed by women. My family specially appointed a female detective to facilitate our work."

At the end of summer, a light bulb went off in my head: what a good idea!

When I return, I will also establish a large inner palace female guard. This way, it will be much more convenient to protect the female family members. It will be more convenient to use than eunuchs.

These two people are from the county government, so Xia Mochu and he should be careful when speaking.

In the bridge.

"Miss, what's going on? Why is Yan Zi Li Si here?" Li Qiuhan asked in a low voice, very worried.

Xia Mochu's pretty face blushed slightly. This matter involved what happened that night, and she could not tell Li Qiuhan about it no matter what.

I had to say, "You don't have to ask."

Li Qiu was helpless. Either she knew nothing, or she knew everything. She was stuck in this dilemma and felt really uncomfortable.

What secrets do His Majesty and Qin Zheng have that even she can't tell?

Li Qiuhan was even more curious.

Once a woman becomes curious, she will definitely be out of control.

Knock, knock, knock. Suddenly there was knocking on the carriage outside.

Wu Xiaoyou's voice came: "Dear guests, this is the tour list. Please take a look. If you have any requests or modifications, please feel free to ask."

As he spoke, he lifted a corner of the curtain and handed in a colorful piece of paper.

Li Qiuhan took it and said, "It looks really good!"

As he said that, he handed it to Xia Mochu.

The paper not only contains the itinerary, but also pictures of various scenic spots.

The voice is expressive and clear at a glance.

Just what was shown in this picture was enough to fascinate Xia Mochu.

"Who drew this?" Xia Mochu asked.

Wu Xiaoyou smiled and replied, "This isn't a painting, it's printed. My parents invented the printing press."

"Printing press?"

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan were once again exposed to their blind spots in knowledge.

"If you two are interested, let's add a visit to the printing factory!" said Wu Xiaoyou.

Xia Mochu said, "Let's go to the printing factory first."

"Okay!" Wu Xiaoyou agreed.

"Why only seven days?" Xia Mochu suddenly saw the travel period and said dissatisfiedly.
