The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 73 The Frog Prince

Qin Zheng didn't dare to look up at this moment, and was very panicked.

He was in such a state when he met the emperor, which was a crime of impoliteness.

If Your Majesty becomes angry about this and wants to kill him, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to.

This is in the imperial palace, not in Hongtong County.

Qin Zheng's official robe was still dripping with water.

Qin Zheng lowered his head and could only see people standing on both sides.

You can't see their faces, only their lower bodies.

Qin Zheng walked forward, recalling the scenes in the TV series, as if he should kneel at the front.

"Cuck!"

Suddenly, there was a croak of frogs.

A small green frog jumped out from Qin Zheng's sleeve, looked around, and was probably frightened by so many people, so it ran out of the hall.

"Hahaha……"

Laugh out loud!

Qin Zheng's old face flushed red, and a hundred thousand alpaca horses flew through the court.

The sleeves of the official robe are so big that even if a small frog hides in there, it won’t be discovered. Even if a snake crawls in there, it won’t be discovered.

Xia Mo Ning couldn't help laughing, but didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Li Qiuhan's expression changed and he looked at his master.

Xia Mochu didn't smile, her pretty face turned ashen.

Qin Zheng, you are so miserable, and you dare to come to see me?

An Dehai looked at Qin Zheng, frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to call the young eunuch who was waiting outside the door.

The young eunuch came in and the two whispered a few words. An Dehai frowned, gave a few instructions, and the young eunuch left quickly.

At this moment, Qin Zheng walked in front of the ministers, knelt down and kowtowed: "Hongtong County Magistrate, Qin Zheng, the Imperial Commissioner for Disaster Relief, returns to the court to report! Long live the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, he actually came to court without wearing the imperial robes and was so disrespectful. Please punish him severely."

"Your Majesty, not only did he delay attending court, he was also extremely disrespectful to Your Majesty. Such behavior cannot be tolerated and must be severely punished!"

"His Majesty……"

At this moment, several ministers came out to impeach Qin Zheng, and they were not the same people as before.

But the purpose is the same.

Xia Mochu glanced at these ministers, all of whom were men from other realm kings.

The Prime Minister's men were very quiet.

Xia Mochu's eyes fell on Qin Zheng, and he felt mixed emotions.

This is the man who took her virginity!

This is the talent that even she can't envy!

But why are you so unwilling to fight?

Even if you don't want to enter the court, you can't risk your life, right?

She thought Qin Zheng did it on purpose.

For a long time, Qin Zheng didn't hear any reply.

My heart is broken.

Not only was he late, but he was also so embarrassed and disrespectful. The empress must be angry.

Your life is in danger!

"Qin Zheng, why are you like this?" Xia Mochu's voice was trembling.

She was afraid that this guy did it on purpose and didn't give any explanation.

This is the court, not a joke. If Qin Zheng doesn't know whether to live or die, she can't protect him.

When Qin Zheng heard the empress's voice, he was startled. Why did the voice sound so familiar?

Xia Mochu's tone of voice was different from that in Hongtong County. After all, she was a merchant in Hongtong County, but now she was the Emperor, and her tone of voice was much sharper than in Hongtong County.

Qin Zheng didn't have time to figure it out, so he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I've been traveling all the way here, and my official uniform is dusty. I was afraid it would be impolite to enter the palace, so I washed it after checking into the Junior Tutor's residence, ready to see you clean! But Your Majesty summoned me urgently, and I hadn't dried it yet, so I had no choice but to wear this uniform. This was my first time entering the palace, and it's so huge. I wasn't familiar with the route, so I went the wrong way and fell into the pond."

Xia Mo Ning covered her mouth and almost burst out laughing.

Some ministers wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

This bumpkin!

Xia Mochu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little amused and helpless.

However, it is good to give an explanation. After all, there is a reason for everything, and she can help this guy to get away with it.

"I was negligent!" Xia Mochu said, "I forgot that you had come a long way, and I also forgot that you were entering the court for the first time."

She just wanted to get by with it and confer the title quickly to avoid any further complications.

But at this moment, Zhongshu Ling Zhao Baishun suddenly attacked: "Qin Zheng, didn't you ask the guards at the imperial gate?"

Qin Zheng didn't know who asked, so he replied, "I asked, and that's the direction he pointed to."

Qin Zheng is a vengeful person, how could he possibly hide something for a guard?

The ministers were shocked.

Even Zhao Baishun, who was questioning Qin Zheng, had a serious expression and stopped talking.

Xia Mochu's eyebrows rose: "There's this matter? An Dehai..."

An Dehai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we've already checked!"

Qin Zheng was stunned. So fast?

At this moment, the figure of the little eunuch appeared outside the hall.

An Dehai waved his hand and the young eunuch hurried in.

An Dehai said: "Report the truth to Your Majesty."

The young eunuch knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it was a guard at the South Meridian Gate who deliberately led Lord Qin the wrong way. He has committed suicide by taking poison!"

All the civil and military officials in the court gasped.

Qin Zheng's face changed drastically.

Damn it, what a cruel person!

Suicide?

There must be someone behind this.

At this moment, Qin Zheng didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.

As expected, serving the king is like serving a tiger. Nothing happened yet, but as soon as he arrived, someone tried to harm him.

It was obvious that the other party wanted the empress to punish him for a serious crime of misconduct.

Xia Mochu's pretty face turned cold: "An Dehai, investigate! Whoever ordered this will be severely punished!"

"Yes!" An Dehai retreated to his original position. He knew he had to wait until the court session was over before investigating. Besides, it would be impossible to find out. Those who could influence the palace guards must be highly influential.

Seeing that the empress was angry, those who had originally wanted to embarrass Qin Zheng in court immediately gave up the idea.

If the empress gets angry, rivers of blood will flow!

Qin Zheng was anxious. "Where are you guys who just impeached me? Speak up quickly so I can take this opportunity to decline the reward!"

However, after waiting for a long time, no one impeached him.

Xia Mochu looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Qin Aiqing, please stand up!"

"Thank you for your grace!" Qin Zheng stood up and took a peek at the throne.

Suddenly, I was struck by lightning and was stunned.

Damn it, damn it!

How could it be her?
