The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 235: The Last Remaining Heat

Xia Bitu said, "Qu Zhengzhuo has failed, and the Fourth Princess has sent a message. Before we know all of Qin Zheng's cards, it will be difficult to take further action."

boom!

The old man suddenly kicked the wooden box containing the green plants.

Click!

The box was shattered, and green plants and concrete were scattered all over the ground.

The old man roared, "You can wait, but I cannot. My condition today makes me feel worse than death, and my days are like years!"

"Damn Qin Zheng! Why didn't he show up earlier or later? Why did he show up at this very moment? He ruined everything I had planned!"

The old man cursed angrily, looking like a madman.

Xia Bitu watched calmly without saying a word.

But, after scratching my ears, I found that the old man's voice was too unpleasant, like a stone grinding on the bottom of a pot.

Xia Bitu knew that the old man had not only been burned but his throat was also damaged. It was already very good that he could make a sound.

The old man suddenly glared at Xia Bitu: "I poisoned your son, do you hate me?"

Xia Bitu bowed: "I dare not! Fifth Master, you are too kind!"

"Hmph! Stop pretending to be so hypocritical with me! Did you let yourself be controlled by Qin Zheng on purpose last time? You didn't want to lose your own men, did you? You can fool the Fourth Princess, but you can't fool me. I will remember this account!" said the old man viciously.

"Fifth Master, I'm not Qu Zhengzhuo!" Although Xia Bitu bowed his body and looked very respectful, there was no humility in his tone at this moment.

The old man stared at Xia Bitu for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... Xia Bitu, you are really patient. If it were me, I would have killed that damn emperor back then.

You have been able to endure the hatred of humiliating your wife for so many years. Do you think you are a hero? Bullshit, you are just a bear, a turtle, hahaha..."

The old man laughed wildly.

Xia Bitu lowered his head, clenched his fists, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

But, he held back.

He said calmly, "Fifth Master, if I were as brave as you, I would be here today!"

The old man's laughter stopped abruptly and he glared at Xia Bitu fiercely.

Just look at his ferocious expression, nine out of ten people will be scared to death, and the remaining one is a ghost!

"Are you humiliating me?" the old man asked grimly.

Xia Bitu said calmly, "I dare not. I'm not a coward. I just don't want to fail. I won't make a move until I'm absolutely sure."

The old man looked at Xia Bitu, but finally stopped mocking him.

He couldn't turn against Xia Bitu yet.

"You still don't want to kill Qin Zheng?" asked the old man.

Xia Bitu: "The Fourth Princess said that Qin Zheng is a talented person and cannot be killed. He will be of great use in the future establishment of the country. She said that now, except for the King of the North who is willing to cooperate, the King of the South, the King of the East, and the King of the West have not yet surrendered. This is not the time to launch a large-scale attack, and we should keep a low profile.

The Fourth Princess also said that if you act on your own in the future, she will kill you with her own hands. This time we lost tens of thousands of people and also lost a Minister of War. The Fourth Princess is very angry!

"Hmph!" the old man snorted coldly, "Women just can't accomplish anything great. If not for this, you would never have known that Qin Zheng had a Black Cavalry. Isn't it worth it to exchange tens of thousands of people for this secret?"

Xia Bitu said nothing, knowing that this Fifth Master was cruel and ruthless and did not take human life seriously.

The old man suddenly asked, "Have you found out their origins?"

"No! There is no trace, as if it disappeared out of thin air." Xia Bitu said truthfully.

The old man said angrily, "A bunch of rubbish! There are nine thousand people, not just nine. How could they just disappear out of thin air?"

Xia Bitu said, "We only know that they left the city. The spies we followed are all dead!"

The old man was stunned: "Are the people you sent out elite spies?"

Xia Bitu nodded.

The old man frowned.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Qin Zheng believes in the existence of the person you created?"

Xia Bitu nodded: "He seems to be convinced."

The old man asked doubtfully, "Seems like it?"

Xia Bitu: "Qin Zheng is cunning and treacherous. His emotions are invisible, and his words are even more flawless. It's hard to tell whether he's true or false!"

The old man didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Such a cautious and cunning person also has superb reasoning skills. If I let Tian Qianmu contact him, will it expose me?"

Xia Bitu spoke frankly: "It's hard to say. It's enough for me to have contact with him. I have been tricked by him many times. Do you think Tian Qianmu can hide better than me?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "Let Tian Qianmu unleash his last remaining energy! Assassinate Qin Zheng! I want to know what Qin Zheng's trump card is to protect himself. Regardless of success or failure, Tian Qianmu's value has been exhausted and there is no need for him to exist."

Xia Bitu was shocked: "Tian Qianmu is the fourth princess's man!"

He really wanted to kill Tian Qianmu, but he didn't expect that this Fifth Master would take the initiative to destroy Tian Qianmu.

If you are afraid of being exposed, just withdraw the thousand acres of land.

The old man sneered: "Haven't you wanted to kill him for a long time? Tell the Fourth Princess that I forced you to do this and that I don't like this person.

Tell her to send someone who knows when to advance and when to retreat. Also, Tianjiazhuang no longer needs to exist. We can't leave any clues for Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng is a scary person!

"Yes! Fifth Master, you should take a rest!" Xia Bitu didn't say any more nonsense.

The Fifth Master asked Tian Qianmu to assassinate Qin Zheng, and he would definitely die.

Although he was sure that Qin Zheng was not good at martial arts, Qin Zheng had many cards up his sleeve.

Just what he wanted.

Xia Bitu picked up the book from the ground, placed it on the stone table, and left.

The old man walked to the stone table and opened the book with his bare arms with great effort. Then, he picked up the book and lay down on the recliner again.

Shao Shi Mansion.

Xia Mo Ning hurried into the study.

"Master, everything has been arranged. There will be no more chaos in South City. But I am so tired." After saying that, he picked up the teapot and poured the tea into his mouth.

Qin Zheng praised: "Well done."

Xia Mo Ning huffed, "That Guo Pingxi was actually very happy. He said it would be best if Master could take in all the residents of South City so that we could make room for him to be rehabilitated."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "You are a princess, and he is a subject. If you are angered by him and cannot deal with him, you will lose your momentum. So, don't argue with him. Only by being calm can you show your magnanimity. He will be helpless."

"Yeah!" Xia Mo Ning nodded: "He was disrespectful to me before, and I gave him a warning. Now he is much better, although it's only on the surface!"

Qin Zheng nodded: "That's good. You are the crown prince. You should have the dignity of a crown prince now. You don't have to be afraid of his status. Your sister will also support you to become stronger!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll listen to Master!" Xia Mo Ning nodded.

Suddenly looked outside the door.

"Master, why are there so many people here? Are they the reserve cadres of Hongtong County?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "I'm using your sister's subordinates, but it's not convenient for me."

Xia Mo Ning suddenly said excitedly: "Master, please give me two people. I don't have strong soldiers yet."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I've prepared it for you, but there's only one!"

Xia Mo Ning was overjoyed: "One is fine! Master's disciples must be good. I am an example!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

Xia Mo Ning suddenly remembered: "Master, East City and West City have not fully followed the North City's renovation plan. They agreed to set up small workshops for families, but they will not carry out a full renovation. They will only renovate dilapidated buildings and repair roads. They said they don't have enough money, and they don't understand your plan!"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "It's not that I don't understand, but I don't want to spend more money. However, since they pay for it themselves, they do have the right to decide. Repairing roads, renovating dilapidated houses, and establishing small workshops are already very good."

Xia Mo Ning was speechless: "Master, you are actually very satisfied?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. They're raising the funds themselves, not spending our own money, so how can we manage it? Once they see the success story of Beicheng, they'll no longer have any doubts. However, they won't really spend all their money on this. In the end, we'll have to take over."

But when we took over, they renovated the dilapidated buildings and repaired the roads, so we saved a lot of money."

Xia Mo was convinced: "Master, so this is what you think?"

Qin Zheng urged, "However, regarding the road construction, you must convince them to follow my plan as closely as possible. They may not follow the road construction plan exactly, but they must deepen and widen the drainage canal to facilitate future construction. This can also temporarily solve the flood problem."

Also, tell them that we provide the underground drainage cement pipes I mentioned to you free of charge. And the technicians are also free of charge. Also, it would be best to set up the trash cans and environmental sanitation regulations as well."

Xia Mo Ning's pretty face was tangled: "Master, what if they don't listen?"

Qin Zheng: "Explain the interests to them. If they refuse to listen, then let them do as they please. When something goes wrong, they'll realize they're wrong. It will cause a lot of trouble, but at worst, things will be the same as before the reforms. And you've fulfilled your responsibilities as an inspector."

Xia Mo Ning nodded. "East City and West City are just reluctant to spend money. If we offer it for free, they might agree. Central City is easy. Xia Bitu will definitely implement your plan! The hardest one is Guo Pingxi. He's really against you this time. You say east, but he goes west. You ask him to catch pigs, but he goes to catch chickens!"

"..." Qin Zheng was also helpless: "Just do what you should do."

Xia Mo Ning suddenly said, "Master, I accidentally saw Ji Wenjian and Tian Li from Tianjiazhuang drinking in a restaurant. They looked very mysterious."

"Oh?" Qin Zheng frowned.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
