Chapter 217: The best quality, as black as ink!
At this moment, the bookcase behind Xia Bitu silently opened to the sides, and an old man with a black robe covering his face walked out of the darkness. The bookcase behind him slowly closed.
The old man stood behind Xia Bitu, sizing up Qin Zheng with a pair of gleaming eyes, and suddenly asked, "You're not a martial artist, so how could you know where I'm hiding?"
Xia Bitu also looked at Qin Zheng in horror.
Qin Zheng picked up the wine bowl, toasted the old man, and drank it all in one gulp. He said, "The layout of the outer and inner spaces of this study are so different in proportion. There must be a secret room."
The old man shook his head: "That's not why you can find me!"
Qin Zheng nodded: "Indeed. But, what do you think..."
Qin Zheng pointed at Xia Bitu, who still looked horrified. "How could he have the guts to kill me?"
Qin Zheng patted his arm again: "At such a close distance, he can escape, my arm?"
The old man nodded: "What a terrifying reasoning."
Xia Bitu smiled bitterly at this moment: "Uncle Nan, please go down!"
"Not bad, kid!" The old man nodded and went out directly through the main gate.
Qin Zheng patted his chest and said, "Uncle, the pressure he exerts is really scary. I'm so scared!"
Xia Bitu was speechless: "I'm the one who should be scared!"
Suddenly he sighed and said sadly, "I admit, I can't beat you!"
"No!" Qin Zheng was anxious and said seriously, "Uncle, don't be depressed, don't give up so easily, you have to work hard! Without you, my life would be so boring!"
groove!
Xia Bitu even wanted to commit suicide. What the hell, so I am living and working hard just to make you have fun, right?
But, I am completely convinced.
If you can't fight, you can't fight.
However, he is not someone who gives up easily!
What's more, he was addicted to fighting with Qin Zheng. If he didn't continue fighting, there would be no point in him living.
Qin Zheng's words also aroused his ambition.
Xia Bitu picked up the wine bowl, gulped down the drink, and asked, "Is it really good to return to one's roots?"
Qin Zheng nodded. "Of course. First, it's a joy for father and son to meet. Second, it's very likely that the King of the North will sincerely join you. Third, it's a deterrent!"
Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng: "You are the emperor's husband!"
Qin Zheng smiled: "Your son may not be like you!"
Xia Bitu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
But at this moment, Qin Zheng continued, "To become a God of War, one must not be a treacherous villain. Otherwise, one cannot become a God of War."
Xia Bitu breathed a sigh of relief and cursed with a smile: "Am I a treacherous villain?"
Qin Zheng waved his hand: "Don't take it personally. A tiger father will have a dog son!"
Xia Bitu smiled happily: "Little monkey, I love listening to you talk!"
Qin Zheng rolled his eyes: "Then you still want to kill me?"
He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me another thousand taels to calm me down!"
Xia Bitu: “…”
"You little monkey, you really don't miss any opportunity to make money! I surrender!"
As he said this, he took out a silver note and threw it to Qin Zheng in a bad mood.
Qin Zheng accepted it with a smile, but a chill rose in his heart. Why did he feel that something was wrong?
The old fox was so generous in giving out the gold note.
Normally, if someone is so frank, they either really don't care about money, or they are using this frank way to cover up something...
Suddenly, Xia Afu's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Tian Lizheng wants to see you."
Xia Bitu and Qin Zheng looked at each other.
Xia Bitu raised his thumbs up...
Soon, an old man in plain clothes came in.
As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed: "I pay my respects to the Prime Minister, and...this gentleman."
In Daqian, the village head was not considered an official, nor did he have a rank. He was just a commoner.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Tian Qianmu calling himself a commoner.
Xia Bitu nodded: "Get up!"
Tian Qianmu stood up and bowed, saying, "I didn't know the Prime Minister was meeting with guests. I deserve to die, so I won't bother you anymore..."
Xia Bitu said, "It's okay, the young master and I were just chatting!"
thump!
Tian Qianmu suddenly knelt before Qin Zheng: "Oh my, it turns out to be Master Shao Shi. I kowtow to you. You are the great benefactor of our Tian Family Manor!"
Qin Zheng and Xia Bitu looked at each other.
Got it!
Here it comes.
At this moment, Xia Bitu truly admired Qin Zheng's reasoning.
It's amazing!
However, he couldn't guess what Tian Qianmu would do next.
Qin Zheng helped Tian Qianmu up: "Old man, please get up quickly!"
Tian Qianmu stood up.
Qin Zheng smiled and asked, "Are you from Tianjiazhuang?"
Tian Qianmu replied respectfully, "I am Tian Qianmu, the village head of Tianjia Village." Qin Zheng nodded and said, "When did I become the benefactor of Tianjia Village?"
Tian Qianmu's face was filled with gratitude: "Sir, have you wiped out Longhu Mountain?"
Qin Zheng nodded.
Tian Qianmu: "That's it. Longhu Mountain is a tyrant, committing all kinds of evil. Especially that life-extending elixir that harms people is addictive. Not only our Tianjiazhuang, but also dozens of farms around the imperial capital have been controlled by them. We have to provide them with grain for free every year.
Your Excellency's actions have saved the people from disaster. I came here this time to thank you on behalf of Tianjiazhuang. Since I don't know Master Qin, I wanted to ask the Prime Minister to pass it on to me. Unexpectedly, I met Master Qin by chance.
As he said this, he took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve.
Xia Bitu was speechless. This reason was so damn good!
Moreover, the monkey boy is greedy for money, so everything goes smoothly.
Sure enough, Qin Zheng's eyes lit up when he looked at the banknotes.
Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng and felt the urge to punch him again.
I don't know if this guy is just pretending or if he's really greedy. Being able to be so greedy and still become a high-ranking official is something that has never happened before or since.
He was very much looking forward to it, but the only clue left was Tian Qianmu.
At this moment, Tian Qianmu handed the banknote to Qin Zheng with both hands: "This is a token of appreciation from Tianjiazhuang. Please accept it, Sir Qin!"
Xia Bitu thought Qin Zheng would just be polite and put on an act. After all, Tian Qianmu was an outsider, not him.
As a young master, you have to take your image into consideration, right?
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng took the banknotes and put them in his sleeve without even checking them.
Qin Zheng smiled broadly and affectionately pulled Tian Qianmu to sit down: "Prime Minister, please bring some bowls and chopsticks. Tian Lizheng and I hit it off right away!"
Xia Bitu: “…”
I don’t even believe it!
A look of contempt flashed in the depths of Tian Qianmu's eyes.
But he was trembling with fear and said, "How can this be possible, Master Master, please spare me?"
Qin Zheng's face darkened. "Why not? I've accepted the gift from the Tian Family Manor, but you should take it back with you, right?"
Tian Qianmu was dumbfounded.
This drink is your reward, right?
Or is it the prime minister’s wine?
You are too stingy.
But, very good!
Xia Bitu wanted to cover his face at this moment, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore!
It’s so stingy, it’s the best.
It’s too dark!
Black as ink!
No, it's blacker than ink!
