The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 222 Is this a small matter?

Qin Zheng didn't even look at Ji Wenjian.

He said calmly, "Since Lord Guo wants to know, you can ask Ji Wenjian."

Ji Wenjian almost cried after hearing Qin Zheng's words.

Looking at Qin Zheng with gratitude.

At this moment, he changed his opinion of Qin Zheng.

I felt a little regretful for throwing dirty water on Qin Zheng in front of Guo Pingxi.

Lord Qin is still so magnanimous and let him go again!

However, Guo Pingxi refused to give in, thinking that Qin Zheng did not dare to speak.

He sneered at Qin Zheng and said, "Why, Master Qin, are you afraid to speak out, or do you think what you did was too dirty?"

Qin Zheng frowned and looked at Ji Wenjian.

So, is it you who admits it, or me?

In fact, Qin Zheng had already realized that Ji Wenjian did not tell the truth to Guo Pingxi.

But Ji Wenjian is from Hongtong County after all. No matter how poor his character is, he still has some feelings for his hometown.

Qin Zheng didn't want to ruin anyone's job or future.

However, Guo Pingxi was aggressive, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would be putting the blame on himself.

He may not pursue fame and fortune, but he still cherishes his reputation.

Ji Wenjian quickly said, "Master Guo, forget it. Actually, it wasn't a big deal back then. I left Hongtong County on my own accord. It has nothing to do with Master Qin."

Guo Pingxi said, "Wen Zhang, don't be afraid. I can make the decision for you!"

Ji Wenjian thought to himself, you are the one who makes the decision, should I live or not?

"Master Guo..." He was about to say a few more words.

Guo Pingxi glared at him and said, "Shut up!"

I don’t dare to say anything about Ji Wenjian.

Guo Pingxi looked at Qin Zheng with a forced smile, waiting for his answer.

Qin Zheng saw Ji Wenjian's pleading eyes.

He said: "When Nianwen was in charge of the road construction in Hongtong County, he made a small mistake..."

After hearing this, Ji Wenjian felt relieved. Lord Qin is a good man!

Guo Pingxi sneered, "A minor mistake? You're going to drive him away from his homeland? Lord Qin, you have such great authority! Lord Qin, if you don't explain yourself today, I will report this to His Majesty and clear Ji Wenjian's name!"

groove!

Ji Wenzhang's heart was in turmoil again. He wanted to cover Guo Pingxi's mouth and kick him a few times, asking him to shut his stinky mouth!

He knew it was broken.

At this point, Qin Zheng will definitely not hide it for him.

As expected, Qin Zheng sighed and said, "It's really not a big deal. It's nothing more than the embezzlement of over one million taels of public funds, the substitution of inferior construction materials, and the resulting reconstruction of the Hongtong County road project, which resulted in a loss of over ten million taels of silver and a three-year delay in construction."

In short, the conference room fell silent.

Ji Wenjian was sweating profusely, it was over!

Guo Pingxi's old face turned red.

No place to be self-contained.

Is this a small matter?

The loss is more than seven million taels!

That's a small county town.

It is estimated that the construction of all roads in Hongtong County will cost more than 10 million taels.

This is Ji Wenjian, and he hasn’t repaired a single road yet!

The total investment was only about 10 million, and you directly embezzled more than 1 million.

This is too dark.

Blacker than a crow!

If what Qin Zheng said was true, Ji Wenjian should have been cut into pieces long ago.

If it were him, after causing such great losses, would he still let Ji Wenjian escape alive?

Everyone's eyes turned to Guo Pingxi.

Guo Pingxi's face was extremely ugly, and he glared at Ji Wenjian: "You, you dare to deceive me?"

thump.

Ji Wenjian was so frightened that he knelt down again: "Sir, how dare this humble official deceive you?"

Suddenly, he glared at Qin Zheng angrily, "Sir Qin, how dare you frame me? You stole my idea for the Hongtong County road reconstruction plan.

Because I didn't agree to give you the idea, you tried to frame me and drove me out of Hongtong County.

I didn't make a fuss about it, nor did I report you. Without my creativity, would Hongtong County be what it is today?

"After so many years, I've finally worked hard to get to where I am today. I wanted to do something practical for the people. Why won't you let me go?"

Ji Wenjian knew that if he admitted it now, Guo Pingxi would definitely kill him.

Only if you stick to what you said to Guo Pingxi before, will you have a chance to survive!

What's the point of gratitude if it's just for the sake of survival?

Qin Zheng looked at Ji Wenjian calmly without saying a word.

But there was already a coldness in his eyes.

He knew that Ji Wenjian was not a good person, but he had to give people a chance to be good.

However, this article has not been changed!

"I'm so wronged! I don't want to live anymore!" Suddenly, Ji Wenjian rushed towards the wall like crazy.

boom.

Hit the wall directly.

Gulp, he fell to the ground.

Knocked myself unconscious!

Everyone: "..."

Zhu Fengchi was surprised: "What a rage!"

Zhou Wentong sighed: "This is really unfair!"

Xia Mo Ning, Xia Bitu and Xia Jinzhong all looked at Qin Zheng in dumbfoundedness.

The three of them believed in Qin Zheng.

But I didn't expect Ji Wenjian to be so ruthless and decisive.

If it were them, they wouldn’t know how it would end.

But Qin Zheng remained calm and composed, as if he had expected this.

Qin Zheng was indeed not surprised or surprised.

This is not the first time that Ji Wenjian has confused right and wrong, nor is it the first time that he has used this method to prove his innocence.

This thing sometimes even swears a curse and takes the whole family to be struck by lightning.

Guo Pingxi has already run over to check on Ji Wenjian.

Ji Wenjian was just fainted, not dead. He had a big bump on his head, but no bleeding.

Guo Pingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Ji Wen Zhang would die. He was the contractor for the urban construction of Nancheng, and he was counting on Ji Wen Zhang.

Pinch the Ren Zhong point to wake Ji Wenjian up.

Ji Wenjian woke up, knelt before Guo Pingxi, and cried, "Sir, I am wronged. Please help me!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!" Guo Pingxi's face turned pale.

Ji Wenzhang's behavior made him completely believe that he was being wronged.

Guo Pingxi turned around and glared at Qin Zheng: "Qin Zheng, I will report this to His Majesty!"

Qin Zheng did not refute, but scratched his head, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

Xia Mo Ning and Xia Bitu couldn't help but shudder when they saw Qin Zheng's smile.

too familiar.

It’s this movement, it’s this smile, it’s these shining eyes.

This is Qin Zheng's standard signature move when digging a hole.

Although it's not like this every time, but as long as this action and look appear, it will definitely be a trap!

Qin Zheng said calmly, "Lord Guo, right and wrong are easy to discern. There's no need to trouble His Majesty, who is so busy with affairs of state, with every matter. Now, you're building the South City, and I'm building the North City. Why don't we have a competition?"

Let's see who spends the least, builds the best, and achieves the highest public satisfaction. That way, we'll know who has real talent and who's plagiarizing. How do you do it?

Guo Pingxi looked at Ji Wenjian.

Ji Wenjian is now in a difficult situation and has to move forward regardless of the consequences.

"Master Qin, you copied the Hongtong County model from me. Do you dare to change it?"

He knew that he could not beat Qin Zheng, but he set up a foreshadowing so that even if Qin Zheng won, it would be considered plagiarism of his ideas.

Qin Zheng smiled.

Hongtong County is no longer the Hongtong County it used to be.

Today in Hongtong County, not only the houses but also the roads have been upgraded twice.

There’s nothing I can do, I’m too rich!

Qin Zheng looked at Ji Wenjian and suddenly said, "Ji Sicheng, you should have brought the planning document for South City, right?"

Ji Wenzhang looked at Qin Zheng cautiously: "What do you mean, Lord Qin?"
