The first county magistrate in history

On the carriage back.

Su Xiaoman couldn't put down the bag of gems given by Xia Jinzhong.

Wu Xiaoyou was expressing his admiration for the power of those in higher positions to Qin Zheng.

Suddenly, both of them looked up at Qin Zheng.

Because Qin Zheng didn't speak for a long time.

At first glance, the two women were shocked.

Qin Zheng looked listless.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Sir, have you been wronged?"

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman were shocked.

Qin Zheng said weakly: "If possible, I really don't want to be an enemy of Xia Bitu!"

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman were both confused. What was going on?

Return to the Shao Shi Mansion.

"Don't disturb me!" Qin Zheng instructed before entering the house.

Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"This is the first time, sir."

"What did he talk about with Shabito?"

"How would I know?"

"Is everything going to be okay, sir?"

Neither of the two women had an answer, nor did they dare to go back to the house. They just waited at the door, worried that something might happen to Qin Zheng.

Suddenly, Qin Zheng opened the door: "Go back and rest, I'm fine!"

At this moment, Qin Zheng regained his composure...

Wait until the two women leave.

Qin Zheng closed the door, opened the back window, and said to the darkness, "Come in!"

Swish!

A figure shot into the house from the roof opposite.

"You know martial arts, are you a master?" An Dehai looked at Qin Zheng in surprise. He didn't expect to be discovered by Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng said, "I can go to heaven and earth, do you believe it?"

An Dehai: “…”

"Then how did you know I was coming?"

Qin Zheng said, "How can the Empress be at ease if I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

An Dehai smiled bitterly: "Are you deceiving me?"

Qin Zheng rolled his eyes at him. "I want to blow you up! Being watched is really uncomfortable, you know?"

An Dehai's old face flushed slightly: "Your Majesty is worried about your safety."

Qin Zheng rolled his eyes. "Go back and tell His Majesty that Xia Bitu has invested 10% in the department store project. His investment is in Lanxianglou, as well as his collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings."

"What?" An Dehai's face changed drastically, and he looked at Qin Zheng in disbelief: "You actually convinced him?"

Qin Zheng frowned: "Just report truthfully."

An Dehai asked, "How did he become a shareholder? How could you persuade him to become a shareholder? Didn't His Majesty tell you..."

Qin Zheng interrupted him: "Your martial arts skills are good, but your IQ is average. You won't understand. His Majesty will agree."

An Dehai's eyes narrowed, and a murderous look flashed across his body: "Qin Zheng, are you scolding me?"

Qin Zheng looked up at him and said calmly, "An Dehai, I'm in a bad mood. Don't mess with me. If you dare to act tough with me again, I'll castrate you again. Do you believe it?"

An Dehai was so angry that he was shaking all over. This was the first time in the entire Daqian Dynasty that he was threatened!

"Hmph!" An Dehai snorted coldly and left through the window.

If it weren’t for this brat and the empress… he would have been slapped to death!

Qin Zheng closed the rear window and lay directly on the bed.

At this moment, he looked very tired and haggard.

Since coming to this world, although he has encountered countless setbacks, there is not a single opponent that he truly admires.

He has always been able to do anything as long as he wants to.

Although the entire Hongtong County is his family, he is very lonely in his heart.

He has no confidant, no soulmate.

If you can't even be called his opponent, how can you be worthy of being his confidant?

Until today, when he met Xia Bitu.

Although they didn't talk much and the exchanges weren't intense, both sides recognized each other at that moment.

Although it was our first meeting, we seemed strangely familiar.

Just like twin brothers, they know what the other is thinking.

Also, we all felt the same loneliness!

In fact, he and Xia Bitu saw through each other the first time they saw each other.

They all saw that the other party was a strong opponent who could make things happen with a wave of his hand.

It can even be said that they are evenly matched.

He knew then that Xia Bitu was not unable to overthrow the empress, but was hesitating.

He didn't know why Xia Bitu was hesitating, but he seemed to know.

He even knew that Xia Bi Tu knew what he was going to do, but seemed unaware of it.

Because they are so similar, it seems unreal, uncertain, and unbelievable!

Qin Zheng feels lonely because this world is so strange to him.

Because his experience in his previous life was enough to overthrow a dynasty and rebuild a dynasty, Dugu Qiubai.

Xia Bitu's loneliness stems from the fact that with his immense power, he could overthrow a dynasty and rebuild another with a wave of his hand. His loneliness is also that of Dugu seeking to defeat the enemy!

There is strangeness and helplessness in Qin Zheng’s loneliness.

There is hesitation and struggle in Xia Bitu's loneliness!

Qin Zheng's dejection was due to regret.

If only Shabitu wasn't the enemy.

Now, he has a goal to strive for in order to survive in this strange world.

But this cannot eliminate his loneliness.

Qin Zheng lay on the bed, loneliness came again!

He can't tell anyone about his life experience.

He appears strong on the outside, but in fact, he dreams of returning to the Central Plains countless nights.

I dreamed of a powerful but unkind grandfather.

Just because his parents disobeyed military orders, his grandfather sentenced them to death...

They even kicked him out of the house when he was less than ten years old...

He hated his grandfather who didn't recognize his relatives.

On the stormy night before his time travel, a soldier covered in blood found him and brought him the tragic news that his grandfather had died on the battlefield...

The only things my grandfather left behind were a diary and a scroll.

After reading his grandfather's diary, Qin Zheng realized that it was not his grandfather who sentenced his parents to death, but the Emperor of Central Plains.

My grandfather's death on the battlefield was also a conspiracy by the Emperor of the Central Plains, because my grandfather's achievements surpassed his own...

Grandpa kicked him out of the house to save him...

The scroll given to him was said to be an heirloom of the Qin family...

When Qin Zheng opened the scroll, a powerful suction force sucked him in...

Grandpa had no relatives around him until his death, he must have been very lonely.

In the memory, Qin Zheng fell into a deep sleep, and dreamed of returning to the Central Plains...

The imperial palace bedroom.

"Why did Qin Zheng want to cooperate with Xia Bitu? Why did Xia Bitu agree to cooperate? What are these two people doing?"

Xia Mochu paced around the room, muttering to himself.

Qin Zheng did not discuss this with her before doing it.

At this moment, An Dehai lowered his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

Xia Mochu saw this and said helplessly, "Uncle An, why don't you help me analyze it?"

An Dehai opened his eyes and said calmly, "I'm not smart enough to guess. Your Majesty is smart, he will definitely be able to guess it."

"..." Xia Mochu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle An, that guy is just like that. Are you really angry with him?"

Uncle An sighed. "He knew I was watching him. He knew His Majesty would be suspicious and question him if he went to the Prime Minister's Residence. He knew our relationship with Xia Bitu, but he went anyway. He even collaborated with Xia Bitu! I was angry that he didn't trust me. If I had just said it directly, His Majesty wouldn't have to worry so much..."

Xia Mochu suddenly stopped and said nothing.

An Dehai quickly shut up, knowing that His Majesty must have thought of it.

Sure enough, not long after, Xia Mochu said, "Is the card clear?"

"What do you mean?" An Dehai was stunned.

Xia Mochu's eyes were sharp: "So, it was Xia Bitu who did it!"

An Dehai was even more confused: "What's the matter?"

Xia Mochu didn't answer, but continued, "How did Qin Zheng get the old fox to admit it? Can he even cooperate? Why would An Dehai agree to cooperate when he knew it was like helping me?"

An Dehai said nothing, knowing that this was the critical moment for His Majesty's analysis.

When it comes to brainpower, he knows that he is indeed not as good as His Majesty.

But your majesty's brain power seems to be inferior to that of the irritating plague god.

"I understand." Xia Mochu suddenly said, but instead of joy, he showed a look of worry:

"Qin Zheng drew Xia Bitu's firepower towards him!"

An Dehai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Is Qin Zheng qualified to be An Dehai's opponent?"

Xia Mochu nodded, and suddenly, his eyes turned red: "Uncle An, he is not bad!"

Uncle An sighed: "It's rare! I misunderstood him."

Xia Mochu frowned. "What did he say or do? How could Xia Bitu not even take me seriously and start paying attention to him instead?"

After much hesitation, An Dehai finally said, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have such mean intentions. However, since this concerns the country, I have to speak out.

Even if Xia Bitu wanted to win over Qin Zheng, how could he really make Qin Zheng his key target, even at the cost of giving up targeting His Majesty?

Based on our understanding of Xia Bi Tu, since he's already targeted and the outcome is decided, how could he possibly give up? And even offer a helping hand? Unless…"

Xia Mochu looked at An Dehai, a struggle flashing in his eyes: "Unless, Qin Zheng has already joined Xia Bitu's camp?"

An Dehai said, "Your Majesty, I'm just guessing. From Xia Bitu's perspective, this is the most reasonable reason at the moment."

"Didn't you just say that you blamed him wrongly?" Xia Mochu looked at An Dehai.

"From different perspectives, the answers are different. It is not ruled out that we haven't seen through it yet!" An Dehai said with a wry smile.

"That's right!" Xia Mochu nodded.

Started pacing again.

An Dehai looked at the empress worriedly. She had been busy all day and had no rest. Now she still had to worry about this matter so late. Could her body handle it?

Suddenly, Xia Mochu smiled.

An Dehai was stunned. Why was he still laughing?

Xia Mochu smiled and said, "This guy is really sick!"

An Dehai was a little confused: "What disease?"
