The first county magistrate in history

Qin Zheng was most afraid that others would know about his relationship with the empress.

Because the empress has too many enemies, and they are all very powerful.

He quickly said, "What are you thinking? You lied to me first. If I could not afford to offend you, with my violent temper, you know what I am doing!"

"Yeah, that's right. I still understand your temper a little bit!" Xia Mo Ning nodded.

Suddenly, he looked at Qin Zheng with sympathy: "Master, I'm kindly reminding you not to try to fight my sister. You will definitely lose, and you will lose miserably."

Qin Zheng sighed and nodded: "I know."

How could a man dare to win in a fight with a woman?

In fact, Qin Zheng was sober when he came back last night.

He suspected that the Empress was using military tactics against him.

At least two methods were used: psychological warfare and beauty trap!

But no matter what, no matter how good the empress is at performing, she is still his woman.

It's time to help!

The location of Zhao Family Real Estate is not in the center of the imperial capital, but it is also a prosperous place.

The area is indeed not small, occupying half of the street.

But they are all old bungalows. They were originally rented out, but now they have been taken back and are being prepared for reconstruction.

The adjacent Lanxiang Building, a two-story building, actually occupies half of the street.

Qin Zheng couldn't help but secretly ask Xia Mo Ning: "Why can the Zhao family and the Prime Minister live in peace?"

Qin Zheng didn't understand. She knew what kind of person the Prime Minister was from Xia Mochu. How could he watch the Zhao family become rich without being jealous at all?

Given this geographical location, if he were in this situation, he would want to buy the entire street.

Xia Mo Ning whispered, "Although the Zhao family has been engaged in business for generations, no one dares to touch them in the imperial capital. The previous emperor led his troops to war, but the military funds were insufficient. It was the cold winter, and the army had no cotton clothes and was running out of food and fodder.

At that time, the Zhao family was a wealthy family. They almost went bankrupt and donated cotton clothes, military expenses and food to the army.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the Zhao family saved millions of soldiers, but under his leadership, those wealthy people generously provided donations.

After the late emperor ascended the throne, he wished to confer nobility upon the Zhao family and to have them serve as officials in the imperial court, but they refused. The late emperor then bestowed upon them a golden plaque, inscribed with the title "Meritorious Official of the State." This plaque served as a golden shield of immunity from death. Furthermore, no one from the Zhao family currently served in the imperial court, posing little threat to the prime minister. Naturally, Xia Bitu would not take action against the Zhao family.

Qin Zheng was filled with awe. He didn't expect the Zhao family to have such character!

"Lord Qin, Her Royal Highness the Princess, are you satisfied?" Zhao Yongfa asked hopefully.

Xia Mo Ning tilted her head and said, "It's a little small, but it's OK. After all, my department store will become a chain in the future!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

Even this needs to be copied?

Zhao Yongfa and Zhao Suhong were immediately happy.

Qin Zheng said, "Boss Zhao, I'll be in charge of the renovation and decoration. It just so happens that Hongtong County is about to produce a batch of new building and decoration materials. We can use the department store as a model project!"

Zhao Yongfa was overjoyed: "Sir, this agent..."

Zhao Suhong pulled her father's sleeve: "Father..."

Zhao Yongfa realized that if he wanted to be the empress, she would be the one...

At the Shao Shi Mansion, under the guidance of Qin Zheng, the two parties signed a cooperation contract on the same day.

After seeing off the Zhao family father and daughter, Xia Mo Ning asked with a smile, "Master, why don't you invest as well?"

"Alright!" Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and didn't refuse. He knew the empress had no money.

"Your Highness, please show me your business plan!" Since he was a shareholder, Qin Zheng wanted to see if there were any problems with the plan.

Xia Mo Ning was stunned: "No plan?"

Qin Zheng almost collapsed. "How dare you start a company without any plan? You dare to play such a big game? If it fails, you will lose a lot of money and your reputation will be damaged. You are the imperial family!"

Xia Mo Ning pondered and said, "I really don't have a plan. If I did, my sister would have given it to me. Oh, now I remember, my sister said that the plan is with you and that I should obey you in everything!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

The empress plotted against me again.

It was getting late now.

"Master, I have to go back and tell my sister the news. My sister must be waiting anxiously. By the way, we must take down Lanxianglou! Master, I believe in you! Master, come on!" Xia Mo Ning raised her little fist, made a cheering gesture, and ran away.

Qin Zheng was helpless. What's the point of cheering?

"Sir, the car from the Prime Minister's Mansion is here to pick you up!" Wu Xiaoyou walked into the study.

Qin Zheng looked at her: "Don't you feel any pain in your stomach anymore?"

Wu Xiaoyou's pretty face flushed: "Much better."

Qin Zheng nodded: "You don't have to go, just let Xiaoman go with me."

Wu Xiaoyou's expression changed: "How can that be possible?"

Qin Zheng said: "Don't worry, the Prime Minister invited me to dinner, not only did he not dare to touch me, he also had to protect me back and forth!"

Wu Xiaoyou pondered for a moment and understood, but he was still worried: "Sir, I must go with you."

Qin Zheng knew that Wu Xiaoyou was stubborn, so he could only agree.

Qin Zheng called Su Xiaoman and walked out of the Young Master's Mansion with Wu Xiaoyou.

"Sir Qin, please get in the car!" The coachman from the Prime Minister's Mansion was very respectful.

"I'll take my carriage and lead the way!" Qin Zheng said.

The driver was stunned. What does that mean?

Qin Zheng didn't ride in the Prime Minister's carriage because it had wooden wheels and was too bumpy.

A moment later, a special agent arrived in a carriage.

The carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion led the way.

In the car behind, Wu Xiaoyou sat upright, his ears moving from time to time.

Qin Zheng said with concern: "Xiaoyou, take a rest for a while, there are special agents here!"

He knew that as long as he traveled, even if he didn't have anyone to protect him, the special forces would protect him secretly.

There are many masters from martial arts families in the special forces, and they can easily jump over houses and roofs.

"Okay!" Although Wu Xiaoyou agreed, he still remained vigilant...

The Prime Minister's Mansion is extraordinary, much more magnificent than Qin Zheng's Junior Tutor's Mansion, and much larger in area.

There are two large white jade lions at the door.

Sixteen guards were stationed on both sides.

On the steps, Xia Jinzhong was waiting.

Seeing the carriage coming, he hurried forward, but stared at the wheels of Qin Zheng's carriage with curiosity for a long time.

The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion was jolting, but Qin Zheng's carriage was smooth and steady.

The special service driver stopped the carriage, reached out and pushed the folding ladder down the carriage. When one end touched the ground, a step was naturally formed, while the other end was still hanging on the carriage.

Xia Jinzhong was stunned by what he saw.

Qin Zheng came out of the carriage. Xia Jinzhong was about to step forward when he saw Qin Zheng turn around and lift the curtain.

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman got off the car one after another.

Xia Jinzhong was dumbfounded. An official was lifting the curtain for the guards and maids?

He had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

A strange light flashed in Xia Jinzhong's eyes.

"Xia Jinzhong, the Minister of Rites, greets Master Qin!" Xia Jinzhong bowed deeply.

He was a third-rank minister of rites, and Qin Zheng was a second-rank junior tutor.

If this were a formal occasion, Xia Jinzhong would have to kneel down.

But it is not used in informal occasions.

Qin Zheng clasped his hands and bowed: "I've heard a lot about you!"

Then, he introduced Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman: "These two are my sisters, Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman. They are inseparable from me!"

In one word, it means I have to take them in.

Xia Jinzhong's eyes narrowed. This Qin Zheng was indeed just as the intelligence said, getting along well with his subordinates.

But why do I feel that this guy is not a good person? Wherever he goes, he is always accompanied by women.

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman were about to kneel down to Xia Jinzhong, after all, the level difference between them was too big.

Xia Jinzhong quickly stopped them: "You two don't have to be so polite. Master Qin's sister is no different from my sister!"

Qin Zheng and the other two were slightly stunned. This Xia Jinzhong was not an ordinary person.

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman glanced at Qin Zheng and saw a meaningful look in his eyes.

Then he placed his hands at his sides, squatted gently, and bowed.

"Wu Xiaoyou has met Brother Xia."

"Su Xiaoman meets Brother Xia!"

Brother Xia?

Xia Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, then realized that what I just said was no different from my sister.

But, is this like hitting the snake with a stick?

"Please stand up quickly, sisters! Please stand up quickly!" Xia Jinzhong made a gesture to support each other.

Although he knew he was at a disadvantage, how could he, with his status, be on the same level as a servant?

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman were about to stand up, but they saw Qin Zheng's eyes stopping them.

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman were at a loss for words and had to squat.

Xia Jinzhong wondered: "Two sisters, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman lowered their heads and said nothing, but their pretty faces were already red. What a shameful adult!
