The first county magistrate in history

Xia Jinzhong frowned and thought, returned it?

noon?

I do not know how?

"I am a dull student, please explain it to me clearly, teacher!" Xia Jinzhong really didn't know.

Qin Zheng leaned against the carriage and said lazily, "I relieved your embarrassment!"

Xia Jinzhong was speechless. "You mean, we eat at the same table? Teacher, I'm used to being alone, and I don't mind what others think. This isn't a favor, is it?"

Qin Zheng said seriously: "To be precise, you lost your adoptive father's face, and I saved it!"

Xia Jinzhong was even more confused: "What does this have to do with my adoptive father?"

Qin Zheng said calmly, "You, the adopted son of the Prime Minister, don't mind being a coachman for a small county magistrate like me. But, what will others think of your adopted father?"

Xia Jinzhong shook his head: "My adoptive father wouldn't care either."

Qin Zheng nodded: "He doesn't care, but some people do!"

Xia Jinzhong pondered, some people?

Suddenly his expression changed slightly: "..."

I smiled bitterly: "I am ashamed, thank you teacher for answering my questions!"

Qin Zheng shook his head: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank someone, thank Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Grand Tutor!"

"Thank them?" Xia Jinzhong was confused again: "They didn't help me with anything?"

Qin Zheng said, "With so many students, who is worthy enough to dine at the same table with Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Imperial Tutor? The Princess and the Imperial Tutor didn't drive you away; they're actually doing you a favor! This meal isn't about eating a meal, it's about honor, the honor of you and your father!"

"Face?" Xia Jinzhong's forehead was sweating.

So this is what Qin Zheng meant when he asked him to dine at the same table?

We were really trying to save his face, otherwise, he would have lost face today.

Not only his face, but also his adoptive father!

And he didn't realize it? He didn't take into account the opinions of some people!

These people are the ones who support my adoptive father and form an offensive and defensive alliance with him. If those people misunderstand that my adoptive father has compromised with the empress, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xia Jinzhong never thought that a simple meal could contain so much knowledge.

Xia Jinzhong was convinced.

Qin Zheng looked at him and said, "I guess you don't dare to talk to me now. It's just right, I'll take a nap!"

Xia Jinzhong: “…”

He said helplessly, "Teacher, you tricked me, and I still have to thank you. Do you think I dare to speak?"

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Zheng said slowly: "If you want to assassinate me, it's best not to do so in the imperial capital."

Xia Jinzhong's face changed.

Then Qin Zheng said again: "Do you really think you can kill me? I have plenty of time before they do it. Kill you first!"

Xia Jinzhong was shocked and turned to look at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng's right hand was placed on his knee, but the cuff was pointed at him!

Xia Jinzhong's face changed drastically, and a chill ran from head to toe!

The Prime Minister's Office had received detailed intelligence on how Qin Zheng had killed Jia Hong, the Liangjin garrison commander, and the garrison...

There is no need to guess, Qin Zheng has a terrifying crossbow in his sleeve that is said to be miraculous.

At this moment, Xia Jinzhong did not dare to move his whole body except for his Adam's apple which kept moving.

Qin Zheng suddenly sighed: "After just experiencing an assassination attempt, most people would increase their protection out of fear. But I am not an ordinary person, at least not in your eyes."

Xia Jinzhong looked solemn and felt something was wrong.

Qin Zheng continued, "Normally, after an assassination attempt fails, they would summarize their experience, formulate a new plan, and look for a new opportunity to assassinate. Continuous assassination attempts would only make you stupid!"

I have always been very confident, so you think I am a conceited person. That is why you do the opposite!"

Xia Jinzhong didn't say anything, his face was pale, and the hand holding the whip was shaking!

Qin Zheng looked out the window: "You are too anxious, you don't understand me at all!"

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he crossed his arms over his chest and no longer held his sleeves towards Xia Jinzhong.

Xia Jinzhong gripped the whip tightly, shocked.

Xia Jinzhong was hesitating. Since he was exposed, should he immediately stop today's assassination attempt?

But he was not sure whether Qin Zheng was bluffing him or was really prepared?

In fact, he had many opportunities to assassinate Qin Zheng, but he couldn't do it himself.

Because he can't afford the consequences.

If someone else did it, even if we know it was him, we have no evidence.

The horse pulling the cart didn't sense the impending danger and was still trotting leisurely.

There is a teahouse in front.

Xia Jinzhong looked at the teahouse and was still hesitating!

Now he only needs to wave his whip and the action will be canceled!

This is a code!

Other people's secret code might be that the crack of a whip is the signal to action, but he knew Qin Zheng was wise, so he did the opposite.

Moreover, once the assassination was successful, the coachman would not have any abnormal behavior, and the empress would have no way to do anything to him!

The carriage was still moving forward, getting closer and closer to the teahouse.

ten meters...

Eight meters...

five meters...

Three meters...

Not only were Xia Jinzhong's palms sweating, but his back, forehead, and nose were also sweating from nervousness.

"He is scaring me!" Xia Jinzhong shouted in his heart.

Otherwise, why would he point it out?

Wouldn't it be better to just attack and kill the assassin, or even kill him?

He now believed that Qin Zheng would be prepared, but what would happen even if the protection was increased?

This time, he mobilized one of the five top masters of the Fuzhen Sect.

Even my adoptive father had praised the martial arts of these five masters.

Of course, the five great masters are no match for the masters under my adoptive father.

However, even though Qin Zheng is now a junior master, he is essentially just a small county magistrate. How could there be a master who surpasses the five great masters?

He didn't see any suspicious people around.

Qin Zheng's strongest special agent was not protecting the car, but was definitely following from a distance.

With the speed of the Fuzhen Sect's master's attack, the special forces following far away had no time to rescue him.

It's impossible that Qin Zheng had foresight and had already arranged experts in the teahouse, right?

Xia Jinzhong didn't believe it and made up his mind!

At this time, the carriage had arrived at the entrance of the teahouse.

Suddenly, a figure flew out from the second floor of the teahouse.

The man was wearing an ordinary black robe and had a black cloth wrapped around his face, but his graying hair revealed him to be an old man.

The old man held a long sword and pointed it at the roof of the carriage from top to bottom at an incredible speed.

Xia Jinzhong widened his eyes, it worked!

In just a few seconds, Qin Zheng would be dead.

At this moment, Qin Zheng was still resting with his eyes closed!

Just as the tip of the black-clad man's sword had touched the roof of the car, shaking out a sword flower, ready to smash the entire car to pieces.

Just as Xia Jinzhong was about to fly up and avoid being cut.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

A dull sound came from nowhere.

whoosh...

The man in black was suddenly pushed back as if by a magical force.

Go back where you came from.

With a bang, the man in black faced the teahouse and hit the window frame on the second floor of the teahouse.

But it did not fall.

A three-foot-long, gleaming crossbow arrow was stuck in his back, pinning him to the window frame...

Xia Jinzhong's eyes widened and became bloodshot.

His body was shaking violently.

Incredible!

Although the horse pulling the cart was startled, it did not panic and continued to trot forward.

"Killed!"

There was chaos in the teahouse, and many people ran out shouting.

Qin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, looked back at the corpse, and said, "Turn right and take another road. I can't guarantee that my people won't kill you!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes again!

Xia Jinzhong shuddered and felt cold all over.

Are there Qin Zheng’s men ahead?

Xia Jinzhong gritted his teeth and drove the carriage into the street on the right.

At this moment, he was terrified, regretful, and angry!

Qin Zheng actually calculated that his men would take action in the teahouse.

He had already determined at this moment that the person who killed the master of the Fuzhen Sect should be on the roof of the restaurant opposite the teahouse.

How did Qin Zheng know about so many shops along the way?

Xia Jinzhong felt extremely regretful, regretting that he had not listened to his adoptive father.

He never dreamed that there would be an enemy like Qin Zheng who was so open and honest with him.

Xia Jinzhong was angry. This was the only remaining member of the Fuzhen Sect and one of the five great masters.

Now there are only four left!

Xia Jinzhong was heartbroken, his heart was bleeding!

He almost broke the whip in his grip.

He was still too reckless.

Qin Zheng was right, he still didn't understand Qin Zheng!

He is too anxious!

It was also the first time that he saw with his own eyes the horror of the legendary Hongtong County crossbow.

How fast must the speed be for the masters of the Fuzhen Sect to not even have a chance to dodge?

so horrible!

Qin Zheng still had his eyes closed, but he sighed, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't believe me! This old man should be considered a master in your sect, right? It was you who killed them, not me!"

Xia Jinzhong suddenly burst out with murderous intent, and shouted in his heart: "Revenge my people, kill Qin Zheng!"
