The first county magistrate in history

Qin Zheng was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "His martial arts skills are not bad, at least he is the leader of a branch!"

bass!

Xia Jinzhong stood up and stared at Qin Zheng in shock and wariness: "Master Qin, are you kidding me? You scared me to death!"

Qin Zheng said calmly, "I just heard that the Fuzhen Sect's martial arts is called Zuoyi Fenghua."

Xia Jinzhong smiled bitterly: "Do you think I am good at using my left hand?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "Yes, your right arm is more developed than your left arm, and your left hand has no calluses."

Then he said, "That doesn't prove that you are not a member of the Restoration Church!"

Xia Jinzhong laughed in anger: "I've always heard that Lord Qin is the best at handling cases. I'm glad to see your advice!"

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Brother Zhong, are you laughing at my muddled judgment? Hehehe, don't mind, I was just joking. Do you believe that the Prime Minister can be friends with the Fuzhen Sect?"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Qin Zheng cautiously: "How would I know?"

Qin Zheng asked, "If so, why did the Prime Minister do this?"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Qin Zheng speechlessly: "Master Qin, why do you think that is?"

Qin Zheng said: "Given the Prime Minister's cunning, there can only be one reason!"

Xia Jinzhong stared at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued, "The reason is that the Fuzhen Sect is useful to him. However, the Fuzhen Sect is the enemy of Daqian. If this is true, it can only mean that the Prime Minister is planning a rebellion!"

"Lord Qin, what you say is becoming more and more outrageous." Xia Jinzhong was unhappy.

But Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, we are just analyzing, not determining the nature of the matter. What are you afraid of?"

"What am I afraid of? I'm just worried that you'll say something harmful!" Xia Jinzhong said.

Qin Zheng smiled again: "Only you and I know it. If you don't tell me, who will know it?"

Xia Jinzhong: “…”

"Okay, go ahead and say whatever you want. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "That's right, I'm free anyway!"

Xia Jinzhong: “…”

He asked, "Sir Qin, who is as good as a god in solving cases, even if what you said is true, why did my adoptive father rebel?"

"..." Qin Zheng nodded. "Yes, there's no reason! Let's analyze it from another angle. Even if the Prime Minister wants to rebel, the enemy of my enemy is of course my friend. But the Fu Zhen Sect is a huge threat. For safety reasons, the Prime Minister will definitely not dare to use the Fu Zhen Sect unless he has absolute control over it."

Xia Jinzhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Master Qin is wise, that's the truth!"

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Jinzhong and said calmly, "Unless the Fuzhen Sect has something extremely important in the Prime Minister's hands!"

Xia Jinzhong asked with a smile, "What does Lord Qin think it is?"

Qin Zheng said: "The reason why the Fu Zhen Sect is still rebelling against Qian Fu Zhen must be that the prince of the Da Zhen Dynasty is still alive."

"So what?" Xia Jinzhong clenched his fists and his palms were sweating.

This Qin Zheng is so scary!

Qin Zheng said, "The most effective way to control the Fu Zhen Sect is to control this prince. But if we want to do it secretly, the best way is to do it in secret. For example, adopt him as an adopted son!"

Qin Zheng stared at Xia Jinzhong, then said, "So, you are the prince of the Fuzhen Sect!"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Qin Zheng in astonishment, his clothes on the back were soaked.

Qin Zheng suddenly said: "I'm not joking now!"

The two looked at each other!

After a long while, Xia Jinzhong smiled: "You looked so serious that I thought I was really the prince of the previous dynasty!"

Qin Zheng also smiled: "Drink tea!"

Xia Jinzhong carried the chair back to the table and sat down.

Looking at Qin Zheng with fear.

Although he didn't admit it, it was already clear.

He regretted it. His adoptive father had told him to have less contact with Qin Zheng, and even if he did, he should talk less and not test him.

He also said frankly that with his IQ, Qin Zheng would see through his true intentions after just ten sentences.

really!

Qin Zheng poured tea into Xia Jinzhong's teacup and said with a smile, "I have no interest in this kind of struggle."

Xia Jinzhong drank the tea in one gulp, regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Brother Qin's analytical ability is astonishing."

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and said, "It's just simple reasoning, nothing surprising!"

"Reasoning?" Xia Jinzhong had never heard of this word.

Qin Zheng explained: "It's a step-by-step analysis!"

Xia Jinzhong asked, "What else have you deduced? It's okay to tell me!"

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Jinzhong and said, "If you were the Prime Minister's adopted son, you would also be a hostage. You're unwilling and want to kill him, but your strength doesn't allow it, so you can only compromise."

Xia Jinzhong listened with a smile and said nothing.

Qin Zheng continued, "The relationship between you two is actually a collaboration, but it must be incredibly real. So real that you both forget about your collaboration!"

Xia Jinzhong smiled and asked, "Anything else?"

Qin Zheng said: "You are a hostage, and the exchange condition is that the Fu Zhen Sect can continue to exist. And the benefit of the Fu Zhen Sect to the Prime Minister is..."

Qin Zheng paused: "The Prime Minister and the Fuzhen Sect have the same, yet different goals."

Xia Jinzhong felt like he was about to stop breathing.

Qin Zheng said: "Your goal is to overthrow Daqian. The Prime Minister's goal is the current emperor. You want to restore the Dazhen Dynasty because your surname is Li. The Prime Minister wants to become the emperor of Daqian because his surname is Xia.

But he has no reason to rebel. Without a legitimate reason, he cannot convince the people of the world. Therefore, using the emperor as a hostage to control the princes is the most suitable! And you are the emperor, but that is when you turn against him and truly compete with him!

Xia Jinzhong still didn't say anything, but the smile on his face had disappeared.

Qin Zheng took another sip of tea and continued slowly, "And this assassination was done by you. It was you who wanted to kill me, not the Prime Minister. He's not that stupid!

The Prime Minister knew you couldn't kill me, so he didn't stop you. But you won't give up on assassinating me just because you failed this time."

Xia Jinzhong still didn't say anything, but there was deep fear in his eyes.

Qin Zheng suddenly changed the subject: "Hong Wu should want to stop your assassination this time because she has seen the strength of my subordinates, but you haven't seen it, so you don't believe it."

When Hong Wu was mentioned, Xia Jinzhong's body trembled.

Qin Zheng sighed: "In fact, only Hong Wu herself doesn't know that she is also the blood of the previous dynasty. She has always believed that she is a spy trained by the Prime Minister. She naively believed that this time the Prime Minister gave up on her and let her go. I took her in, and she can start a new life."

Xia Jinzhong clenched his fists but still said nothing.

Qin Zheng said, "When she finds out one day that I am the blood of the previous dynasty, even if she doesn't want to kill me, she will still attack me for the sake of the previous dynasty. Poor Hong Wu, she thought she was no longer a pawn and had finally broken free from the shackles of a fate controlled by others!"

"Sir Qin, my adoptive father regarded you as the strongest opponent in the dynasty, and I was not convinced. Now, I am convinced!" At this moment, Xia Jinzhong's heart was no longer filled with fear and dread, but with admiration!

Just based on a few words he said casually, Qin Zheng actually deduced almost the entire truth. What a terrifying reasoning ability!

Qin Zheng smiled calmly, "But I can't figure out why the Prime Minister wants to dethrone the Empress!" Xia Jinzhong said bluntly, "I don't know either!"

Even if Xia Jinzhong did not admit it at this moment, and Qin Zheng did not say that he was sure that he was the prince of the previous dynasty, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Because Hong Wu is also Qin Zheng's hostage, and she must be Qin Zheng's hostage to survive.

because……

Xia Jinzhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Hongwu is my biological sister, my only sister!"

Qin Zheng was not surprised at all.

"You knew it earlier?" Xia Jinzhong looked at Qin Zheng in surprise.

Qin Zheng nodded: "You and your sister don't look alike at all, there's no resemblance at all!"

Xia Jinzhong smiled and said, "I'm more handsome!"

"..." Qin Zheng was speechless: "You are so shameless!"

"Hehehe..." Xia Jinzhong laughed, "Brother Qin, I like you! I want to be your friend."

Qin Zheng shuddered: "Fuck, you're not a woman!"

Xia Jinzhong smiled and said, "Half a friend is fine!"

Qin Zheng looked at him: "Do you want Hong Wu to follow me?"

Xia Jinzhong nodded: "I only just realized my mistake now. A woman should be a woman!"

Suddenly, she looked at Qin Zheng sincerely and said, "Never tell her this."

Saying this is equivalent to admitting everything.

Qin Zheng also looked at him: "What's in it for me?"

Xia Jinzhong was stunned, as he had thought Qin Zheng was a man of great benevolence and righteousness.

But it is true that Qin Zheng has done his best by not arresting him now. Why should he help him?

Xia Jinzhong scratched his head. "Although I'm the Prime Minister's adopted son, nothing belongs to me. I'm even poorer than your study!"

How about this, if I fail to assassinate you next time, I will promise to do something for you within my power, how about that?

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly: "I seem to be at a disadvantage, right?"

Xia Jinzhong smiled and said, "It's better than me assassinating you and getting nothing, right?"

Qin Zheng was helpless: "You are really a piece of shit!"

"Hahaha..." Xia Jinzhong laughed.

Suddenly he said mysteriously, "I am already your student, did you know that?"

Qin Zheng was stunned: "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

Xia Jinzhong was very proud: "So there are things you don't know? Let me tell you, I have obtained the qualification to study at the Continuing Education College."

"The college also has auditors?" Qin Zheng was stunned. The provincial school has auditors.

Xia Jinzhong was puzzled: "What is an auditor?"

Qin Zheng: "It's the provincial school."

Xia Jinzhong smiled bitterly: "Everyone says that Brother Qin is full of fresh words. I've learned a lot!"

Qin Zheng sighed: "The Prime Minister is so quick!"

Xia Jinzhong rubbed his face and said, "I thought you would despise me for not being qualified to be an auditor." Qin Zheng said indifferently, "It's a good thing to want to study. Anyone can be an auditor."

Xia Jinzhong glanced at Qin Zheng and said, "From now on, I won't call you Brother Qin anymore. It's one extra word, and it's tiring. How about just calling you Brother Zheng?"

"That's so ugly. I thought you wanted to expropriate the land!" Qin Zheng was speechless.

Xia Jinzhong stared blankly for a long time before he understood, and then burst into laughter again.

Suddenly he asked, "Why did you reveal your cards to my godfather and me as well?"

This was something he couldn't figure out.

Qin Zheng did not hide it: "In this way, you and the Prime Minister must think twice before doing anything. This will give me a lot of time!"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Qin Zheng respectfully: "Now that the cards are revealed, I'll go see Hong Wu!"

Then he stood up.

Qin Zheng suddenly asked, "Where is Mr. Cui from Fengyu City, Mr. Cui Youcai?"

"Cui Youcai?" Xia Jinzhong was stunned.

Qin Zheng reminded him: "The cloth shop owner your sister bribed in Fengyu City said he was her uncle!"

"Him?" Xia Jinzhong smiled. "My sister told me. Don't worry, my Fuzhen Sect won't kill innocent people!"

Qin Zheng nodded: "Go see your sister!"

"Why do I feel like what you said is not right, like you are scolding me?" Xia Jinzhong said with a smile.

Qin Zheng: “…”

Xia Jinzhong walked to the door and suddenly said without turning his head:

"Although I know that whether the Prime Minister is here or you are here, the Fu Zhen Cult will fail in the end, but I have to do it!"

Qin Zheng nodded: "I understand, this is my responsibility!"

Xia Jinzhong suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Zheng: "Will you be lenient?"

Qin Zheng looked at him: "Can you?"

Xia Jinzhong smiled: "I entrust my sister to you!"

Qin Zheng nodded: "I can take better care of your sister than you can!"

Xia Jinzhong was speechless: "Letting her guard the gate, is this taking good care of her?"

Qin Zheng said seriously: "It's better than putting her in danger. I have many enemies. If they can't touch me, they will touch the people closest to me!"

Xia Jinzhong stared at Qin Zheng: "You are not as handsome as me, but you have a special kind of personality charm that attracts men, women, young and old."

Qin Zheng pointed at his nose and said, "Am I not as handsome as you?"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Qin Zheng seriously for a few seconds and said, "Look a little longer, he's indeed more handsome than before!"

Qin Zheng was speechless: "I finally saw the blindness of the eyes!"

Xia Jinzhong smiled and waved his hand: "Goodbye, half a friend!"

Qin Zheng waved his hand: "Goodbye, handsome guy!"

Xia Jinzhong opened the door and left.

Qin Zheng shook his head. He didn't expect Xia Jinzhong to be so interesting!

He tilted his head to glance out the rear window and continued working.

Soon, a figure flashed in the rear window.

Yuan Shiqing appeared in the house.

Qin Zheng was not surprised at all.

Yuan Shiqing was neither surprised nor surprised by Qin Zheng!
