Chapter 148 The Master Who Even Tricked His Apprentice
Xia Bitu said, handing Qin Zheng a mahogany box: "The invitations are all written!"
Qin Zheng was shocked: "Uncle, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Xia Bitu snorted coldly: "How dare I slack off on what Master has instructed me to do?"
Is this sour?
Qin Zheng took the wooden box and laughed, "Uncle, you are so kind to me. Please come into the mansion and let me host a banquet to apologize to you."
"Forget it!" Xia Bitu said, looking at Xia Mo Ning and Sun Tiezhu who got off the carriage, feeling disappointed.
Even the princess and Sun Tiezhu knew to follow Qin Zheng closely, but his adopted son Xia Bitu didn't follow?
What should I do with this rotten wood?
The Continuing Education College was established just for Qin Zheng. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to learn new knowledge by following Qin Zheng?
This is the difference in wisdom!
This adopted son he had raised for many years was not as good as this fool Sun Tiezhu!
How stupid!
"Your Highness!" Xia Bitu bowed to Xia Mo Ning.
Xia Mo Ning returned the greeting: "Prime Minister!"
Sun Tiezhu also quickly knelt down and saluted: "Prime Minister!"
Xia Bitu nodded: "Get up."
Then he said to Qin Zheng: "What else do you need me to do?"
Qin Zheng quickly said, "No, no, this is already very troublesome for me, uncle!"
Xia Bitu snorted again, "If anything happens, let me know. I'll go through fire and water for you!"
After saying that, he gave instructions to the steward who was driving the carriage and drove away!
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly. This time, the old fox was really angry.
"Master, he really wrote you an invitation?" Xia Mo Ning was surprised.
Qin Zheng said: "It's just a transaction!"
Sun Tiezhu rolled his eyes twice and a half, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, how did you do that?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "You'll be able to do it in the future!"
"Mo Ning, Tiezhu and I are going to deliver the invitations, you can't follow us!" Qin Zheng said again.
Xia Mo Ning was unhappy: "Why, Master?"
Qin Zheng explained: "With you here, there are some things that are not convenient to say."
Xia Mo Ning pulled Qin Zheng's arm, reluctant to let go: "Master, I want to learn how to cheat people, so just take me with you!"
Qin Zheng: “…”
"Mo Ning, it's not that I don't want to take you with me, but today, anyone who follows me will be cheated."
Xia Mo Ning didn't believe it: "How can you betray your own people? Isn't Tie Zhu going with you?"
Qin Zheng said: "Except him!"
Whoosh, Xia Mo Ning jumped onto the carriage: "I don't believe it!"
Qin Zheng had no choice but to take her with him.
It also allows the princess to learn from her mistakes!
In the carriage, Qin Zheng opened the wooden box and laughed after reading it. The old fox was really his close friend.
Xia Mo Ning was puzzled: "Master, what are you laughing at?"
Qin Zheng handed the wooden box to Xia Mo Ning: "You will know when you take a look."
Xia Mo Ning took the wooden box, opened it and saw nearly a hundred bright red invitations inside.
"He didn't even ask you who you invited, yet you wrote so much?"
After looking at a few, Xia Mo Ning wondered, "Why are there some written with gold powder, some with cinnabar ink, and some with black ink?"
Qin Zheng said: "Guess!"
After watching for a while, Xia Mo Ning's expression changed: "He, is so unreserved?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "He knows better than me which family is the richest."
Xia Mo Ning was convinced: "As expected, he is cunning and sly. He just changed the ink color and divided them into three categories!"
The Office of the Minister of War.
Qu Zhengzhuo was shocked. What was Qin Zheng doing here?
Come out and greet him in person!
It's not just about giving Qin Zheng face, but the princess is here!
"Your Highness!" Qu Zhengzhuo bowed to Xia Mo Ning.
Xia Mo Ning nodded slightly as a return of greeting.
Qin Zheng clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Qu!"
Qu Zhengzhuo clasped his fists towards Qin Zheng and said, "Master Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"
Qin Zheng said, "I haven't visited you all since I took office. How shameful! Now that I've finished arranging the affairs of the academy, I'm here to visit Master Qu."
Qu Zhengzhuo thought to himself, stop it, it would be better if you didn't come.
"It is a great honor for our humble residence to have the Princess and Lord Qin visit us. Come in!" Qu Zhengzhuo pretended to be enthusiastic and invited them.
Actually, it’s just a courtesy!
If you don't give Qin Zheng face, the princess must give him face. He's already at the doorstep, it would be inappropriate not to invite him in!
Qu Zhengzhuo didn't know what Qin Zhenglai was here for, but he knew very well that this man could force the Prime Minister to compromise, so he must not be offended!
"Princess, please!" Qin Zheng let Xia Mo Ning go first.
At this time, it is necessary to distinguish between the big and small kings.
Qu Zhengzhuo's mansion was also very luxurious. Although it was much inferior to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was much more luxurious than the Junior Tutor's Mansion.
After we sat down, fragrant tea was served.
After a few polite words, Qin Zheng took out the invitation and handed it to Qu Zhengzhuo with both hands:
"Seven days from now is my birthday. I sincerely invite you all to come to my house, mainly to keep in touch with each other!"
"Master Qin's birthday? Congratulations!" Qu Zhengzhuo was a little surprised. It was Qin Zheng's birthday, and he invited him?
He took the invitation and said, "When the auspicious time comes, I will definitely go to congratulate you!"
As for whether to go or not, let’s see what others do when the time comes!
When Qin Zheng heard this, he thought, "No."
At a birthday party, in public, who would dare to give too much money as a gift?
If it doesn't work out, it's just giving some gifts.
Won't even go!
If he did this, why would he hold a birthday party?
At all, Qin Zheng didn't really want to hold a wedding banquet?
"Sir Qu, why don't you open this invitation and take a look?" Qin Zheng said.
"Oh?" Qu Zhengzhuo wondered, what's so good about the invitation?
But out of curiosity, I opened the invitation.
Upon seeing it, Qu Zhengzhuo's face changed.
This is... written by the Prime Minister himself?
Qu Zhengzhuo was shocked and thought he had seen it wrong.
Looking closely, it was indeed the Prime Minister's handwriting.
Qu Zhengzhuo was confused.
Qin Zheng betrayed the Prime Minister so badly, but he still wrote an invitation to Qin Zheng himself?
What do you mean?
Suddenly my heart skipped a beat.
Prime Minister, are you reminding me?
Seeing Qu Zhengzhuo's expression, Qin Zheng smiled, his goal was achieved.
Said: "I am the first one to visit Master Qu!"
Qu Zhengzhuo heard the hidden meaning in Qin Zheng's words and asked, "Master Qu Qin, if you have something to say, please feel free to speak!"
Qin Zheng said bluntly: "I am here to help you transfer the stolen money..."
Qu Zhengzhuo's expression suddenly changed...
Coming out of the Minister of War's residence, Qin Zheng said goodbye to Qu Zhengzhuo with a smile, "Master Qu, please stay. Don't forget to deliver the things to my residence tonight. Also, the nine gates of the imperial capital are under martial law. Don't do anything foolish. I won't be able to save you then!"
After saying that, he got into the car with Xia Mo Ning.
"Gee!" Sun Tiezhu drove away.
Qu Zhengzhuo's face was extremely grim. After Qin Zheng's car disappeared, he ordered, "Prepare the car and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
On the carriage.
"Master, why did you write him an IOU?" Xia Mo Ning asked in confusion.
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Can he lend us the money without writing an IOU?"
"Then why should I be the guarantor?" Xia Mo Ning asked.
Qin Zheng said: "Because you are a princess!"
"But if you don't return it, what will he do to us in the future?" Xia Mo Ning asked worriedly.
Qin Zheng said indifferently: "I have no money, but I have my life. What can he do to you? You are a princess. He can only ask me for help, don't worry."
Xia Mo Ning looked at her master with a bitter face, speechless: "Master, how could you even betray your own disciple!"
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "It's only natural for a master to cheat his apprentice. I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. Don't blame me!"
Xia Mo Ning wondered: "What if I don't come?"
Qin Zheng said, "If you don't come, I'll have to write the IOU myself, but it will be a bit troublesome."
Xia Mo Ning's eyes rolled around several times. "Master, I owed 30 million taels of debt last time I was cheated. I can't sign again. Go and cheat someone else!"
Qin Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll write the IOU for the rest. As long as we can deal with Qu Zhengzhuo, the rest will be easy."
Xia Mo Ning looked at Qin Zheng: "Master, you must have a way to avoid paying it back, right?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Princess, you are smart. I never intended to return it."
"Are you going to default on your debt?" Xia Mo Ning was speechless. "It's only natural to pay back a debt. He'll complain to my sister, and my sister can't protect you!"
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "If he asks me, I won't admit it. What is this, dirty silver? Does he dare to tell your sister about it? As long as your sister asks him to tell her the origin of this silver, he will be trapped in his own trap!"
Xia Mo Ning suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Master, this is a chain of schemes. The moment he demands payment, he'll be imprisoned!"
Qin Zheng praised: "Princess, you are indeed talented and intelligent. You can see this!"
Xia Mo Ning was proud: "This princess is very smart, but I have no place to use my talents!"
Qin Zheng quickly shut up, the princess wants to go!
