Chapter 117 Who is anxious knows
Qin Zheng would not discourage a good student, and he ate the piglet with relish.
Qin Zheng didn't touch any of the dumplings made by Master Ji.
I really can't eat anymore.
A plate of piglets almost made Qin Zheng die of stuffing!
Seeing that Qin Zheng had no one left, Su Xiaoman was overjoyed and smiled:
"Sir, my father always said that I was gifted, and it's true. I can master anything I learn. Sir, from now on, I will prepare your three meals a day myself!"
After saying that, he happily walked away with the tray.
Qin Zheng rubbed his stomach, feeling hopeless!
Qin Zheng originally wanted to stop Su Xiaoman from continuing to work hard, but when Su Xiaoman mentioned her father, he lost his temper.
Her father always wants to call him over. Who can stand it?
"Sir!" Suddenly, a special agent came to report: "Captain Zhang Shaoyong of the Yihui Army wants to see you!"
Qin Zheng was overjoyed: "Please come in!"
soon.
"Lord Qin..." Zhang Shaoyong walked into the study excitedly.
"Shaoyong, long time no see. Please sit down!" Qin Zheng greeted him with a smile.
After Zhang Shaoyong sat down, Qin Zheng personally poured him tea.
Zhang Shaoyong quickly stood up: "Sir, I can do it myself."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? By the way, why did you come to see me just now?"
Zhang Shaoyong's face flushed: "I wanted to come earlier, but I took a mission and just came back."
"Oh!" Qin Zheng didn't ask about the mission. There are some things that cannot be asked about.
However, Zhang Shaoyong lowered his voice and said, "Sir, the Yihui Army is supervising the Ministry of War to escort food and military equipment to the Northern Border Army camp. This is not the first time the Yihui Army has escorted such equipment. But this time, I accidentally discovered that this batch of military equipment was actually received by the Northern Border Army in the past!"
Qin Zheng was shocked: "All of them?"
Zhang Shaoyong nodded. "Some boxes fell and broke apart during the journey, and I noticed that the batch numbers on the weapons had been polished and altered. I secretly checked and found some batch numbers that hadn't been polished cleanly. Some of them were actually weapons batch numbers from last year or even five years ago."
Qin Zheng was shocked: "In other words, it is possible that a batch of weapons was repeatedly circulated?"
Zhang Shaoyong nodded: "I didn't dare to speak out, nor did I dare to report it."
Qin Zheng nodded: "You did the right thing. This involves the Ministry of War and is of great importance!"
Zhang Shaoyong continued, "Sir, there's one more thing. Before reaching Xuemen Pass in the northern border, we rested at the Qiulicheng Inn in Tianbei Province..."
Zhang Shaoyong said this with a look of shame on his face. "A few soldiers secretly went to a brothel... and accidentally got information from a prostitute. It seems that there are remnants of the previous dynasty in the Zhenbei Escort Agency in the city!"
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed: "Are you sure?"
Zhang Shaoyong shook his head: "I haven't had time to check yet!"
Qin Zheng was silent for a moment: "Thank you, Shaoyong, these two pieces of information are exactly what I need!"
"Xiaoman, set up a banquet so Shaoyong and I can have a few drinks!" Qin Zheng greeted Su Xiaoman.
"Yes, sir!" Su Xiaoman responded outside the door.
Zhang Shaoyong was not polite, knowing that Qin Zheng was not being insincere.
It just so happened that he had something to ask Qin Zheng.
Suddenly, the special agent came to report: "Sir, there are several people who claim to be your students and want to see you."
Qin Zheng waved his hand: "No!"
"Yes!" The guard left.
Zhang Shaoyong looked at Qin Zheng in confusion.
It seems that Lord Qin is not such a person. Why doesn't he even see his students?
Qin Zhengjian didn't hide the reason for his strange expression from him...
After hearing this, Zhang Shaoyong smiled bitterly and wondered how the adults could be so deceiving.
Soon, the banquet was served, and Qin Zheng and Zhang Shaoyong toasted each other.
The special agent came back to report, "Your Excellency, those students have left, but the Minister of War Qu Zhengzhuo, the Privy Council Censor Guo Pingxi, the Imperial Capital Governor Cai Jinyu, the Five Cities Military Commander-in-Chief Li Shigeng, the Southern City Prefect Xun Ziqi, the Eastern City Prefect Han Yuzhi, and the Western City Prefect Zhao Wenyuan... request an audience with Your Excellency!"
Zhang Shaoyong was shocked. Are the parents of those students who caused trouble here?
Lord Qin is so honorable!
Qin Zheng nodded: "Please ask them to wait in the reception room!"
"Yes!" The special agent left.
Zhang Shaoyong was surprised and asked, "Sir, why don't you go see them now?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Whoever is anxious will know!"
Zhang Shaoyong was convinced and asked with a smile, "The term 'reception room' is very appropriate. Although it is very novel, it is immediately understandable! Sir, where do you get these fresh ideas and fresh words?"
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Don't you know that I am the golden boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Zhang Shaoyong looked at Qin Zheng seriously: "Really?"
Qin Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "What's that look in your eyes? One day I'll let you all meet my master!"
Zhang Shaoyong was shocked. Could it be true?
After drinking two more glasses of wine, Zhang Shaoyong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, you know I'm not good at speaking. I have something to ask you, but I don't know whether I should ask you or not!"
Qin Zheng nodded: "No problem, ask!"
Zhang Shaoyong asked, "Sir, do you dare to be an enemy of the Minister of War?"
Qin Zheng was startled and looked at Zhang Shaoyong: "What happened? Just tell me!"
Zhang Shaoyong sighed, "I have a classmate who works as a Deputy Director in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War. I only found out after I came back that he was reported by his superior, Li Chengde, the Director of the Arsenal Department, for dereliction of duty and trafficking in arms. He is now detained in the Ministry of War. I can't even visit him, let alone understand the details of his situation. But I can guarantee that my classmate would never do such a thing!"
Qin Zheng asked seriously, "Do you suspect it's related to counterfeiting of weapons?"
Zhang Shaoyong nodded and looked at Qin Zheng expectantly.
Qin Zheng asked, "What's his name?"
Zhang Shaoyong then remembered that he had forgotten to mention his name: "His name is Sun Tiezhu. Our two families have a good relationship. In the beginning, his father and my father both served in the Yihui Army!"
Qin Zheng had also been in contact with Zhang Shaoyong for a few months and knew that the person who could make Zhang Shaoyong ask for help must be his best friend.
Qin Zheng said, "Leave it to me. Don't get involved. Don't try to find out about him, lest you alert the enemy!"
Zhang Shaoyong was overjoyed and stood up and bowed: "Shaoyong thanks you, sir!"
Qin Zheng said, "Shaoyong, I'm going to recommend you to serve as the commander of the Liangjin Special Economic Zone Military District. Are you willing?"
Zhang Shaoyong was stunned: "Commander?"
Qin Zheng explained: "The entire Liangjin Province will become a special zone, and you, as the army commander, are equivalent to the governor of Liangjin Prefecture!"
Zhang Shaoyong was shocked.
Although the Yihui Army is directly under the control of the empress, he is just an errand boy. How can he compare to the governor of a province?
"Sir, of course I am willing to follow you, but my rank..."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "So, I used this new term, Military Region Commander. The rank is temporarily set at fifth rank. Once you have made achievements, I will report to His Majesty and make you a true third-rank governor!"
"Sir..." Zhang Shaoyong was so moved that he was speechless.
The reason why Qin Zheng hired Zhang Shaoyong was mainly because he was impressed by his character.
All major power departments in Liangjin Province must not fall into the hands of others.
Qin Zheng actually wanted to select talents from within Hongtong County the most, but it was obvious that it was unrealistic to directly appoint such a high-ranking official to someone without an official rank and outside the system.
He has been secretly observing Zhang Shaoyong over the past few months.
This person is trustworthy.
Zhang Shaoyong knew that Qin Zheng was busy, so he chatted for a while and then said goodbye and left.
Qin Zheng saw Zhang Shaoyong off, changed into the uniform of a young master, and then came to the reception room.
At this moment, seven or eight people in the reception room were waiting anxiously.
"This Qin Zheng is so arrogant!" said the Minister of War Qu Zhengzhuo angrily.
"Hmph! The villain is succeeding!" Privy Council Censor Guo Pingxi was also very dissatisfied.
If Qin Zheng didn't want to see their child, they would be afraid of the empress's anger. Given their status and position, why would they come to Qin Zheng for help?
They also knew that Qin Zheng wanted them to come in person.
If he went to other officials' homes, he would be flattered, but he would definitely be welcomed from afar.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng came in person, but he actually asked them to wait?
Others were also dissatisfied.
But their official positions were not as high as Qu Zhengzhuo and Guo Pingxi, so they dared not say anything.
When Qin Zheng arrived at the door of the reception room, he saw Xia Mo Ning squatting stealthily at the foot of the wall.
Qin Zheng didn't even know when she came.
Hearing footsteps, Xia Mo Ning turned back.
Seeing that it was Qin Zheng, he quickly ran over.
"Master, they are talking about you in the room..." Xia Mo Ning told Qin Zheng everything she heard.
Qin Zheng nodded: "You continue to eavesdrop!"
Xia Mo Ning's pretty face flushed: "I'm leaving."
Qin Zheng stopped her and said, "I'm telling the truth. Listen, as soon as you hear the sound of slamming the table, you go in and do this..."
After Qin Zheng finished his explanation, Xia Mo frowned and smiled...
