Chapter 236 Old Bird
Xia Mo Ning looked at her master's expression and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
Qin Zheng suddenly smiled bitterly: "Maybe Guo Pingxi is going to be in trouble."
Xia Mo Ning was puzzled: "Master, what have you deduced now?"
Qin Zheng looked helpless: "You should know why Ji Wenjian was expelled from Hongtong County, right?"
Xia Mo Ning nodded: "I know..."
Suddenly, her pretty face changed color: "Master, are you saying that he will use the same trick again?"
Qin Zheng nodded: "That should be right. Tian Lizheng is not a good guy."
"I'll go and remind Guo Pingxi?" Xia Mo was anxious. The transformation of South City could be part of her duties as an inspector.
Qin Zheng said calmly, "Guo Pingxi won't believe you. Instead, he'll think this is a trick on our part to sow discord between them."
"What should we do then?" Xia Mo Ning was at a loss.
Qin Zheng: "It's time for you to make a contribution. Send someone to monitor Ji Wenjian. If he escapes with the money, arrest him immediately. Then Guo Pingxi will believe it. Your work against him will be much easier from now on."
"Master, you are so smart!" Xia Mo Ning was happy, with a smile on her face.
Suddenly he asked, "Master, with so many people here today, the dinner must be very sumptuous, right?"
As he said this, he gulped and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
Xia Mo Ning's pretty face flushed, and she looked at her master embarrassedly and said, "I'm hungry, not greedy!"
Qin Zheng smiled: "Go to the kitchen and you'll know what to eat."
Whoosh!
Xia Mo Ning turned and ran.
"..." Qin Zheng: "Call Lu Dong over."
"I understand, Master!" Before Xia Mo Ning finished her words, she had already disappeared at the door.
The dinner was sumptuous.
Qin Zheng and the cadres toasted each other and had a great time.
In the middle of the night, the banquet ended and Qin Zheng personally escorted Sister Hua and the others to the inn.
Early in the morning.
There was a knock on Qin Zheng's bedroom door.
"Sir, it's urgent!" It was Lu Dong's voice.
Qin Zheng hadn't slept yet, so he hurried to open the door.
Lu Dong slipped in and closed the door.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, there was a sudden fire in Tianjiazhuang, and Tianli is missing. No one in the village survived!"
Qin Zheng was shocked.
After a moment's silence, he asked, "Xiabitu, do you live next door?"
Lu Dong shook his head: "Not back yet!"
Qin Zheng was silent.
After a moment, he murmured, "It seems that my guess was right. Xia Bitu already knew that he was the one controlling him."
Lu Dong was full of admiration: "Sir, can we notify Hongtong County?"
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Notify Zhang Mingli that the special forces going to Ningguta can depart."
"Yes!" Lu Dong was about to leave.
Qin Zheng asked, "Hasn't there been any news about Tian Fuan in a long time?"
Lu Dong smiled bitterly, "Sir, don't you understand him? He's obsessed with power. He's busy with production while also bribing those high-ranking officials. He has excellent connections. He even says he learned from you that bribery isn't the goal, the goal is to get hold of something on them and pave the way for you to return to Liangjin!"
Qin Zheng held his forehead with his hand, feeling a headache: "Damn, fine, he won't learn!"
Lu Dong wanted to laugh but held it back.
Qin Zheng said, "Let him be. This old fellow is just like that, but he has a good heart."
Lu Dong smiled and said, "That's true. He is very loyal to you, my Lord."
Qin Zheng: "Remind the special forces to protect him well. Don't get carried away and get ambushed!"
"Yes!" Lu Dong said regretfully, "It's a pity that this clue is broken."
Qin Zheng said indifferently: "He is just a puppet to deliver messages."
Lu Dong looked at the master with admiration: "Master, I really didn't expect that Xia Bitu's acting skills were so superb. However, you have already seen through it."
Qin Zheng said embarrassedly: "I only saw through it later. At first, I was also deceived by his acting skills!"
"Ah?" Lu Dong was shocked: "You are indeed an old fox!"
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "After all, he's eaten more rice than I have for decades. Oh, and keep an eye on Ji Wenjian. Don't let him take even a tael of silver. I'm afraid the princess might make a mistake, after all, she has no experience. Call Xiaoyou over."
"Yes!" Lu Dong left.
After a long while, Qin Zheng sighed: "This old guy thinks he is very smart, but he doesn't know... Oh, he really makes me worry..."
Soon, Wu Xiaoyou came in sleepily, yawned, and asked, "Sir, what's the matter so late?"
Qin Zheng: "Tian Lizheng is very likely to come and assassinate me, you hide and protect me." "Ah?" Wu Xiaoyou widened his eyes and lost all sleepiness!
When she came to her senses, she found that Qin Zheng had already gone to bed.
Wu Xiaoyou was speechless. You were sleeping and you asked me to sit here stupidly?
darkness before dawn.
Wu Xiaoyou hid behind the screen, drowsy.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Tao Yong's voice came: "Sir, Tian Lizheng wants to see you."
Qin Zheng got up, glanced at Wu Xiaoyou behind the screen, and went to open the door.
The door opened and Tian Li, who was dirty and disheveled, was standing at the door.
Qin Zheng was startled: "What are you doing?"
"Sir, can we talk inside?" At this moment, Tianli was covered in dust and looked extremely frightened, with his voice trembling.
Qin Zheng: "Come in!"
Tian Lizheng: "Sir, I can only talk to you!"
Qin Zheng nodded: "Tao Yong, guard the door!"
"Yes!" Tao Yong waited for Tian Lizheng to enter and then closed the door.
"Come sit inside!" Qin Zheng turned and walked inside.
Just then, plop!
Tian Li was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a sad tone: "Sir, help me!"
Qin Zheng turned around and looked at Tian Qianmu in surprise: "What's going on?"
Tian Qianmu burst into tears: "Sir, Tianjiazhuang is gone. It was burned down. Men, women, old and young were all slaughtered. I am the only one who escaped death. Please save me and avenge Tianjiazhuang!"
Qin Zheng was shocked: "They're all dead? Who did it?"
Tian Qianmu was heartbroken. "I don't know, sir. I was drinking with some shopkeepers in the city tonight. When I returned to Tianjiazhuang, it was already a sea of fire. I was so scared that I crawled to find you. I didn't dare to look for others. Only you, sir, are a good official who works for the people!"
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Zheng was furious. "Get up and stay in my house for a while. I will give you justice!"
"Thank you, sir." Tian Qianmu tried to get up, but suddenly he groaned and sat down on the ground: "I sprained my ankle!"
Qin Zheng stepped forward to support him.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed from Tian Qianmu's sleeves, and a short sword stabbed Qin Zheng's heart.
The move was extremely swift.
At the same time, Tian Qianmu raised his head with a sinister smile on his face.
However, his smile just bloomed and suddenly froze.
Click!
A dagger cut off the sword's arm with lightning speed.
Bang!
The dagger stuck to Qin Zheng's chest and fell to the ground along with his arm.
Wu Xiaoyou was already standing beside Qin Zheng, the knife in his hand still dripping with blood.
Tian Qianmu was stunned!
Why is there a woman in Qin Zheng’s room?
Bang, Tao Yong rushed in after hearing the noise. When he saw Wu Xiaoyou and the scene, he couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, Qin Zheng's expression was calm, and he said, "Tian Lizheng, tell me your master, and I can spare your life!"
"Hehehe..." Tian Lizheng laughed, seemingly mocking himself, but also seemed relieved.
"Sir Qin, you are a good official. I hope you will never change. Although I really want to tell you who I obey, I really don't know. If you believe me, please give me a quick death."
Qin Zheng nodded: "Xiaoyou, give him a quick death!"
Wu Xiaoyou, with the knife on Tian Qianmu's neck, was stunned: "Not trying anymore? With our methods, we won't believe him if he doesn't tell us!"
Qin Zheng shook his head, sighed, and said, "He really doesn't know. He only has a single line of contact. Presumably, his superior is already dead. He was coerced this time and had no choice but to do so! If we don't kill him, he will die too. If we kill him, we can still save his family!"
Tian Qianmu smiled, this time with a very relieved smile: "Thank you, Master Qin. I will repay your kindness in my next life!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and placed them on the ground: "Sir, I have saved up 500,000 taels of gold notes and would like to give them to you for the benefit of the people!"
After saying that, he leaned his neck back on his own initiative, and snap!
Heads on the ground!
Wu Xiaoyou was startled and loosened his sword.
The waist knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
It was the first time that Wu Xiaoyou saw someone so proactive!
Qin Zheng smelled the bloody odor and frowned slightly: "Let's find a place to bury it. Clean up this place!"
Wu Xiaoyou: "Sir, do you want to change rooms?"
Qin Zheng shook his head and went to bed.
The next day, Qin Zheng acted as if nothing had happened. He took Wu Xiaoyou to the inn to find Sister Hua early in the morning.
When Hua Qianrou saw Qin Zheng, her expression became somewhat unnatural, and she even deliberately took Li Wei's arm.
Yesterday, the adults gave him reassurance, and Levi was very cooperative today.
Sister Hua was very satisfied.
Now she is scared. She didn't expect Qin Zheng to be such a person!
Qin Zheng personally sent Sister Hua and the others to take up their posts.
Hua Qianrou serves as the director of the North City District Comprehensive Management Bureau.
This director has great power and supervises and manages any work of any department in Beicheng District.
Li Wei was appointed director of the Urban Construction Bureau of Beicheng District.
Now, with the reconstruction of the northern urban area, this position is quite important.
Others also had their appointments.
Qin Zheng's goal was to abolish all the existing old departments in Beicheng and set them up according to modern models.
Soon, Beicheng District will establish the Beicheng Sub-district Office, Community Committee, Beicheng Water Conservancy Branch, Beicheng Construction Branch, Beicheng Comprehensive Management Branch, Beicheng Comprehensive Technical Supervision Branch, Beicheng Public Security Branch, Beicheng Environmental Sanitation Branch, Beicheng Medical Management Branch, and Beicheng Letters and Calls Bureau. They will also build colleges, hospitals, and so on...
Five thousand public dry toilets and fifty thousand trash bins will also be built in the northern part of the city.
Beicheng Mansion will also change its name to Beicheng District Government, and its work content will also change accordingly.
Only then did the transformation of the North City officially begin.
Without a complete regime and a good system, urban residents do not have good living habits. Even if the transformation is completed, it will only be new for a few days.
Qin Zheng's reform plan was approved by the empress.
Beicheng is the pilot city!
Once successful, the Beicheng model will be fully promoted according to local conditions.
The next step will most likely be the reform of villages, towns and cities.
Some of the power departments in Daqian were overlapping and bloated.
Some aspects are seriously lacking.
This leads to slow implementation of orders, mutual buck-passing, and even situations where no one knows who to contact when something happens and no one is responsible. This often happens.
Since Qin Zheng was renovating the North City, he wanted to do a comprehensive renovation. Otherwise, even if it was built well, it would sooner or later be destroyed due to criticism.
Sister Hua and her colleagues are the vanguard of this reform.
Wu Xiaoyou was the happiest because she was finally liberated and could finally protect adults every day.
Su Xiaoman was also very happy because the new director of the Tourism Bureau had taken office. She could finally be a housewife with peace of mind!
Qin Zheng is working in the Beicheng District Government, which has just changed its sign.
Xia Bitu walked in, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan and carrying a bird cage.
There is a colorful parrot in the cage.
Seeing Qin Zheng, the parrot yelled, "You little monkey, you little monkey!"
Qin Zheng: “…”
A black line on the forehead.
"Uncle, I'll call you Uncle Bird from now on!" Qin Zheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Hahaha..." Xia Bitu laughed heartily and put the bird cage on the desk. "What do you think, little monkey? I spent a thousand taels of silver to buy this bird. It's smarter than you, right?"
Qin Zheng nodded: "Of course. This is a yellow peach parrot, equivalent to the best, with an IQ equal to that of a three-year-old child. It's an old bird!"
Xia Bitu was shocked: "You also know about birds?"
Qin Zheng: "You are the one I understand best!"
"..." Xia Bitu suddenly understood, and felt bad all over. He said unhappily, "You are the old bird!"
