Chapter 224 The pit has been dug too big, we need to make up for it
"I can testify!" Xia Mo Ning was the first to respond. She must support her master!
If we can bring Guo Pingxi down, my sister's pressure will be reduced, which is great!
Ok?
Xia Mo Ning suddenly realized, why was she the only one to come forward to testify?
The others lowered their heads and didn't react.
Xia Mo Ning's pretty face turned red.
It seems like I shouldn't be so cheerful, right?
Zhou Wentong and Zhu Fengchi don't want to get involved in this mess. If they want to help, they want to help Guo Pingxi.
No one paid any attention to it.
Xia Bitu didn't say anything, because helping anyone would offend the other.
Xia Jinzhong would not stand out. In front of these big guys, he was not even a dish.
"Brother, I can testify!" Sun Tiezhu said in a muffled voice.
This is his elder brother, he has to protect him.
Everyone: "..."
What's your business, you rickshaw driver?
"Thank you, Princess and Tiezhu." Qin Zheng knew this would happen.
However, as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess can testify, it will be fine.
Guo Pingxi successfully entered the trap. Qin Zheng was delighted and shouted, "Tiezhu, bring me a pen!"
He wants to write a bet!
Sun Tiezhu was stunned and pointed at the table in front of Qin Zheng: "Brother, are you blind? Isn't this here?"
"..." Qin Zheng looked down and was shocked!
There are pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared on the table in front of each person.
Moreover, the ink is already ground.
Qin Zheng was embarrassed and too happy to notice it.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Qin Zheng coughed twice, his old face slightly red.
He picked up the wolf-hair brush and wrote down the bet in his own handwriting.
Then, sign your name.
"Tiezhu, present it to Lord Guo for signature!" Qin Zheng ordered.
Sun Tiezhu was overjoyed and immediately presented the bet to Guo Pingxi, grinning: "Master Guo, please sign it!"
Sun Tiezhu is very happy now because he learned how to dig a hole today.
He had been following Qin Zheng for some time. Because he was eager to learn, he had more or less understood his master's operations.
I think it’s interesting!
It will definitely be useful in the future.
Guo Pingxi was furious when he saw Sun Tiezhu's behavior.
I cursed in my heart, what a bully!
He snorted again, but didn't show any weakness and signed his name.
Seeing Guo Pingxi actually sign his name, Xia Bitu's body trembled again.
Finished!
Guo Pingxi is completely finished!
Even if this bet doesn't reach the level of a true promise, even if Guo Pingxi finally loses his temper and doesn't fulfill the bet, his reputation will be ruined.
For first-rank officials like them, a bad reputation is equivalent to damaging their vitality.
Xia Bitu sighed in his heart. Even he didn't dare to gamble with Qin Zheng. This Guo Pingxi was really arrogant.
Ugh!
Xia Bitu suddenly felt very desolate!
In the court, after the man who claimed to be Qin Zheng entered the court, his allies fell one after another.
Qin Zheng's methods and ability to seize opportunities were so impressive that even he felt ashamed of himself.
He could foresee that soon he would be the only one left in the court.
At that time, perhaps it would be the beginning of his final battle with Qin Zheng.
Xia Bitu glanced at Qin Zheng, who looked like he was trying not to laugh.
Xia Bitu felt bitter.
He has always been very clear that from the very beginning, Qin Zheng's fighting style was to defeat them one by one.
But he knew it, but he was powerless to resist.
It cannot be said that they have no ability to resist at all, but rather, whether it is his disciples, his spies, or even his secret forces, they are not as good as Qin Zheng's men.
Qin Zheng alone can resist the entire court of civil and military officials.
As a disciple of the prime minister, he could not even stand up to Qin Zheng.
Not to mention his disciples, he can't do it, let alone his disciples.
He has spies, but Qin Zheng has special agents, and their abilities are incomparable.
He has hidden forces, and Qin Zheng has terrifying Black Cavalry.
There is no comparison!
He loses just by comparing examples.
Xia Bitu knew very well that facing Qin Zheng, he might end up being isolated and helpless.
Therefore, when saving Cao Qingzhi, he would rather abandon Cao Qingzhi than completely fall out with Beichen.
If he lost Beichen as an external aid, he really didn't know what he could use to fight Qin Zheng and that person!
And just recently, something happened that has made him unable to sleep or eat to this day.
He received a report from the spy who had been monitoring all of Qin Zheng's men that a hundred of Qin Zheng's special agents were missing.
He had a strong premonition that when Qin Zheng had tricked out his spy in Beichen, this guy would definitely go to Beichen to make arrangements in order to achieve his goal of competing with him.
He suspected that these 100 special agents had gone to Beichen!
In fact, he knew that Qin Zheng had been clearing out his inner and outer circles, either openly or secretly.
He could only watch helplessly, because before Qin Zheng made his move, there was no sign at all. He had no idea what Qin Zheng was going to do or who he was targeting. By the time he realized it, it was too late.
He could only take a defensive stance and try not to use his invisible power in order to avoid Qin Zheng's attack.
Just like now, he could only watch his allies fall without being able to lend a helping hand.
He had offered a helping hand before, but each time, he almost lost his arm.
Over the years, he and Qin Zheng have clashed openly and secretly several times, but until now, he has never been able to know what kind of cards Qin Zheng has in mind.
In this situation, if he doesn't lose, who will?
Therefore, he did not dare to attack Qin Zheng easily, at least he did not dare to really use heavy force, for fear that Qin Zheng would hit him back with heavy force.
After many confrontations, he got to know Qin Zheng a little better.
Qin Zheng does everything, even the impromptu bet today, only when he is absolutely sure of winning will he take action.
Qin Zheng has the ability to look ten steps ahead before taking one step!
This was the valuable experience he gained from his repeated defeats in the struggle with Qin Zheng!
He didn't dare to move.
He can only use stillness to control movement!
Xia Bitu was thinking about something, but suddenly his face froze because he saw Qin Zheng making his signature move again.
Qin Zheng scratched his head at this moment, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised to the left.
He looked at Zhou Wentong and Zhu Fengchi who were gloating over his misfortune with hope.
What the hell!
Xia Bitu was shocked.
This guy still wants to trick these two people?
really!
"You two adults are responsible for the renovation of East City and West City. Why don't you also join this bet? It will be more fun with more people!" Qin Zheng looked at Zhou Wentong and Zhu Fengchi hopefully.
Zhou Wentong and Zhu Fengchi's expressions changed drastically.
What's going on with us?
Why has the plague god targeted us?
If you make a fuss, we might lose our official positions.
Are we stupid?
What if we are the self-righteous fool like Guo Pingxi?
Zhou Wentong and Zhu Fengchi had long realized that Guo Pingxi's gamble in this matter was due to his reliance on Ji Wenjian.
But in their eyes, Ji Wenjian is a hypocrite.
Guo Pingxi is the one who is confused by the situation!
But, the two of them will not remind Guo Pingxi!
They would be happy to see Guo Pingxi get humiliated or even kicked out.
Guo Pingxi is usually arrogant and very rude, and is not easy to get along with.
They are all first-rank officials, but Guo Pingxi behaves as if he is their superior, bossing them around and acting in a domineering manner!
The relationship between them is not good.
At this moment, Guo Pingxi also looked at Zhou Wentong and Zhu Fengchi.
He hoped that these two people would join as well.
The power of three people is much stronger than that of one person.
He didn't count on Xia Bitu.
Everyone knows that this old guy has a close relationship with Qin Zheng for some reason.
Zhou Wentong laughed and said, "I don't have the courage of Lord Guo, nor do I have the talent of Ji Sicheng under my command. Unless Lord Qin can become the City Construction Secretary of my West City!"
Qin Zheng: “…”
go away!
If I were your Xicheng Urban Construction Secretary, why would I drag you into this trap?
Qin Zheng looked at Zhu Fengchi with hope again.
The look in Zhu Fengchi's eyes when he looked at Qin Zheng made him feel like he couldn't live anymore.
What kind of look is this?
Am I a lamb?
Or the roasted kind!
Why does it feel like this thing is going to take a bite?
He quickly smiled and said, "Sir Qin, I know that I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and my subordinates are even less talented. I would like to ask Sir Qin for advice on the reconstruction of East City. It is not convenient for me to participate, and it is not appropriate."
Guo Pingxi snorted in his heart at this moment, cursing in his heart, two cowards, it will be difficult for them to accomplish anything great!
Qin Zheng was disappointed when he saw that both of them refused.
Suddenly, he looked at Xia Bitu hopefully.
It’s okay to drag the old fox into the trap!
The pit is a bit too big, it’s a bit of a loss!
He also didn't expect that Guo Pingxi would come up with a cannon!
If I had known this earlier, I would have dug smaller pieces.
The old fox is rich, and there is nothing that money can't make up for!
groove!
When Xia Bitu saw Qin Zheng looking at him, he shuddered.
I was startled by Qin Zheng's eyes. Why were they all blue?
Does the little monkey want to eat him up too?
I didn't say or do anything today.
groove!
The little monkey is so hungry that he will eat anything!
