Chapter 125: Mud cannot be helped
At this time, in a restaurant, Qu Zhaoming repeatedly toasted Xia Jinzhong.
The reason why he invited Xia Jinzhong to drink was that he didn't want Xia Jinzhong to be Qin Zheng's coachman. What he wanted to do could not be done with Xia Jinzhong present!
Xia Jinzhong also felt that Qu Zhaoming's behavior today was not normal. He wanted to see what Qu Zhaoming was going to do, so he started to act accordingly.
Qin Zheng's carriage was driving on the streets under the cover of night.
It was time for dinner and the number of people on the street gradually decreased.
Sudden.
In the moving carriage, Tao Yong suddenly jumped up and rushed forward.
At the same time, chi chi chi...
Tao Yong swung his arms, and ten crossbows shot out one after another.
The sleeves are fine because they have been improved.
Ahead, a dozen men in black, armed with swords and knives, suddenly rushed out from the alleys on both sides. Before they could even make a move, ten of them were pierced through the chest by crossbow arrows...
Canglang!
Tao Yong drew his sword and stood in front of the man in black.
puff!
Click!
Several heads fell to the ground.
Only a masked old man who was frightened silly was left!
Snapped!
Tao Yong's sword hit the old man's head hard.
The old man fell unconscious on the spot.
At this time, the carriage had arrived.
Tao Yong carried the old man into the car.
Put the old man on the shaft of the cart.
Return to the Shao Shi Mansion.
"Who is this?" Su Xiaoman, who was waiting at the door, was very surprised when she saw the old man.
"Assassin!" Tao Yong said, "Sir, I will go and interrogate him."
Qin Zheng nodded: "Go ahead."
Tao Yong carried the old man away.
A special agent came and took the carriage away.
"Sir, we've been assassinated again? Who is it this time?" Su Xiaoman was no longer surprised.
Qin Zheng said: "He is just a dandy who doesn't know how to live or die."
Su Xiaoman's eyes lit up: "Master, are you rich again?"
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "You are so smart!"
Su Xiaoman was proud: "He who keeps company with pigs eats, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black!"
Qin Zheng almost fell to the ground: "Xiao Man, you need to study harder!"
Su Xiaoman was stunned: "Sir, am I wrong? I just listened to you."
Qin Zheng: “…”
"That's the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together,' and 'Birds of a feather flock together!" Qin Zheng had to correct it.
"Ah? Hehehe..." Su Xiaoman's pretty face flushed, and she smiled awkwardly: "I was wondering, if you live with pigs, whether you eat them or not depends on how old the pigs are. You can't eat piglets, it would be a waste!"
Qin Zheng: “…”
Su Xiaoman suddenly remembered: "Sir, someone wants to see you and has been waiting for a long time!"
Xia Jinzhong didn't see any unusual movement from Qu Zhaoming until the banquet was over. Someone just came to look for him and he went out for a while.
When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw my adoptive father Xia Bitu standing in the yard looking at the sky, as if admiring the moon.
"Godfather!" Xia Jinzhong hurried forward.
Xia Bitu withdrew his gaze from the night sky.
"Do you know why Qu Zhaoming invited you to drink?" Xia Bitu asked.
Xia Jinzhong quickly said, "I don't understand it either, and I haven't figured it out yet!"
Xia Bitu said: "Qin Zheng was assassinated!"
"Assassinated?" Xia Bitu was shocked.
Suddenly his expression changed: "Did Qu Zhaoming do this?"
Xia Bitu snorted coldly: "Now you know why he invited you to drink, right?"
Xia Jinzhong's old face turned red!
"While you were drinking, Qin Zheng and I went to the Manufacturing Bureau and the Military Department!" Xia Bitu said.
Xia Jinzhong was stunned: "You went to the Manufacturing Bureau and the Military Department?"
Xia Bitu looked at Xia Jinzhong disappointedly. "Just now, Qin Zheng discovered the fake accounts at the Manufacturing Bureau, and the Minister was imprisoned. The Military Department was abolished. Now you know why Qin Zheng didn't let you be the driver tonight? He's giving you time to prepare for this great achievement! Because you saved Sun Tiezhu, and he doesn't want to owe you a favor!"
After saying that, he turned and went back to the house. When he reached the door, he suddenly said, "You have lost the qualification to be his driver now. You don't have to pick him up tomorrow!"
"Oh..." Xia Bitu sighed deeply and pushed the door open.
Xia Jinzhong stood there in a daze, feeling ashamed!
Only then did he realize what he had lost.
He should have thought long ago that Qin Zheng's target was not just the Arsenal.
Originally, he and Qin Zheng should have gone to the Manufacturing Bureau and the Military Department together. This was the opportunity Qin Zheng gave him to make meritorious service.
But he missed it!
If my adoptive father had not stepped in personally, the Prime Minister's Office would have missed an opportunity to make a contribution.
This opportunity is of no significance to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but for him, it is a huge chance to make a name for himself.
Xia Jinzhong felt very regretful.
He is now being trained by his adoptive father and Qin Zheng, two foxes, one big and one small.
Moreover, these two people are his enemies!
But what did he do?
He is simply a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved, and a piece of mud that cannot be supported on the wall!
ashamed!
Extremely shameful!
Xia Jinzhong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He hated himself for being so stupid!
Xia Jinzhong had to admit that he was stupid.
Because he still couldn't figure out why Qin Zheng didn't want him to be a groom anymore. Wasn't it because he didn't understand Qin Zheng's meaning?
But he believed that it was definitely not because he did not see through the current situation.
Then why?
Suddenly, Xia Bitu's voice came from the room: "Have you told Qin Zheng about Sun Tiezhu's identity?"
Xia Jinzhong quickly said, "No!"
There was no sound in the room.
Xia Jinzhong was puzzled, and his adoptive father suddenly asked, what does it mean?
Shao Shi Mansion!
Qin Zheng and Su Xiaoman stared in amazement at the towering man who was eating voraciously in front of them.
"Sir, this is the second tray of buns, right?"
