The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public

The bailiffs obeyed the order and came to escort her. Yu Jiuer, who had not yet recovered from her shock, turned pale and trembled with fear.

Some people wanted to plead for her, but when they thought about the sneaky things she usually did, they hesitated.

Seeing that Yu Jiuer was about to be thrown into the ice hole, some people couldn't bear it and knelt down to beg for mercy, but the county magistrate had already fainted, and the bailiffs had no choice but to obey his orders.

The remaining rationality made Yu Jiuer calm down. She turned her head and fixed her gaze on the mistress of the Yu family - the eldest lady. Although she was not the biological mother of the original owner, Yu Jiuer knew that she was a rare and insightful person.

At the critical moment, Yu Jiuer used all her strength to shake off the bailiff, threw herself at the eldest lady's feet and hugged her feet tightly.

"Mother, save me! I have a way to resolve today's crisis, please listen to me!"

Yu Jiuer's aura was just like she was hugging the thigh of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

How can face be as valuable as life? This is definitely a life-saving straw!

The eldest lady squatted down and touched her head: "Jiu'er, it's not that mother doesn't want to save you, your grandfather has already ordered, you can't escape!"

Yu Jiuer hurriedly leaned close to the eldest lady's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mother, I can pretend to be my brother and go to Beijing to take the exam on his behalf!"

She spoke very quickly, fearing that if she spoke a little slower her life would be over.

Since she was forced to survive in the evil feudal society, she had to fight for her own life.

The eldest lady opened her mouth in shock when she heard that, and looked at Yu Jiuer straight in the eye. Is this still the taciturn fool?

"How did you become so bold?"

Yu Jiuer lied, "Mother, I went to the gate of hell and came back like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. I used to hide my incompetence and wait for death. Now I want to work hard for my brother!"

The eldest lady looked down at her and found that Yu Jiuer's previously chaotic eyes had become clear and bright.

After thinking for a moment, she risked disobeying the order and raised her hand to stop the bailiff: "Stop! Take her back first!"

The stretcher was finally brought in, and a group of people anxiously carried the unconscious old county magistrate and Yu Wushuang back to the county government office.

The lake is not far from the county government office, and can be reached by crossing the largest main street in the county.

There were shabby shops on both sides of the street. It was cold and all the shops were closed.

Yu Jiuer was escorted forward slowly, feeling powerless in her heart. The road ahead was long!

Back in the backyard of the county government, Yu Jiuer knelt on the ground, looking at the bare walls of the county government, and felt very disappointed. It was a county government after all, how could it be so poor?

At this moment, everyone was in a panic!

Not long after, someone called Yu Jiuer into the house.

When she walked in, she saw Yu Wushuang holding on to his last breath and reaching out his hand to her. She put her hand in his palm and her nose felt sore.

"Jiu'er, brother is so tired! I'm afraid I can't hold on this time. Please take good care of yourself in the future. I'm sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wushuang's hands went limp and he lost his breath.

"No!" Yu Jiuer felt her heart skip a beat and she almost suffocated from the pain.

Carrying the heavy burden of the Yinshan scientific expedition for sixteen years has exhausted all the energy of this young man.

Is he going to give up and leave everything to her? No!

Doctor Liu's hands were shaking violently, and he quickly rushed over to check his breath: "Young Master, he's gone—"

"Wushuang!" Everyone rushed over.

At this moment, there was a sudden "thump" sound at the door.

Yu Jiuer raised her eyes and saw the old county magistrate, who had just woken up, lying on the ground. He stretched out his hand helplessly towards Yu Wushuang, his eyes wide open, unable to speak.

"The old county magistrate——"

As soon as the shrill cry rang out, the old county magistrate's hands went limp and he died with his eyes open!

"Wow!" Everyone in the room knelt down and wailed in despair.

Yu Jiuer fell to the ground, her whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her ears were buzzing.

After a long while, I heard my eldest sister's trembling and hoarse voice: "What should we do? Should we hold a funeral?"

"After the funeral, where can we find a top three candidate in the palace examination to be the county magistrate? If we can't get the job, we will be demoted to slaves!" Second Uncle pounded the ground with his fists.

The eldest lady raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "We can't announce the funeral. We still have a chance!"

The panicked crowd looked at the mistress of the house in surprise.

"Let Jiuer pretend to be Wushuang to take part in the palace examination!" the eldest lady said firmly.

The second uncle roared: "How is it possible? She only knows how to eat! She killed Dad and Wushuang. We are about to be reduced to slaves, all because of her!"

After being demoted to slavery, they had to follow the prisoners exiled to the frontier to build the Great Wall. He had experienced it and suffered terribly. He still feels scared when he thinks about it now.

Yu Jiuer bit her lip tightly, her voice was sonorous and powerful, "Just let me try!"

She has been praised as a genius since she was young, and she skipped grades all the way to get a doctorate. With her wisdom and the accumulation of the original owner's years of silence, she is determined to give it a try no matter what!

The biological mother, Aunt Qu, had tears on her face. She pointed at Yu Jiuer with a shaking finger and taunted her, "You are such a fool! What else do you know except eating? What's the point of me giving birth to you? Why wasn't you the one who died? My son!"

The second uncle snorted with disdain: "You are really overestimating your own abilities! I think you are just trying to get away with it."

The always arrogant eldest sister also had a face full of sneers: "The palace examination is as difficult as ascending to heaven. My grandfather and father took the exam many times before they passed? You are only sixteen years old and you dare to speak so arrogantly? And you even disguised yourself as a man to take the exam for me? This is a heinous crime that will kill all nine generations of your family!"

"My brother and I look exactly like each other, and no one will find out if I pretend to be him! It's better to take the risk of deceiving the king than to be demoted to a slave, right?" Yu Jiuer said in a resounding voice.

"I'd rather die than be a slave!" The second uncle squeezed out these words from between his teeth, pointed at Yu Jiuer angrily, his face grim, "Even if I have to die, I'll kill you first, you scourge!"

Yu Jiuer's heart trembled. Everyone was completely hopeless and no one believed her at all.

Wouldn't it be unfair to die like this?

She gritted her teeth and dumped out all the contents of previous palace examinations.

Fortunately, although the original owner was confused, he had an excellent memory. He usually followed Yu Wushuang and listened to him read, and he learned a lot from him.

My second uncle was a juren, and the women in his family were all literate. They didn't expect that Yu Jiuer, who usually didn't talk, could recite poems, songs, and current affairs by heart. They were so shocked that their jaws dropped and their eyes almost popped out.

The eldest lady's lips trembled with excitement: "You really have been hiding your incompetence all along!"

Everyone came back to their senses and had to re-examine this idiot.

Yu Jiuer added fuel to their burning hearts: "Now, there are still many people gathered outside the county government gate, not allowing me to pretend to be your brother. Do you want to see Yinshan County in chaos and be demoted to slavery to build the Great Wall?"

Everyone was panicked and at a loss, looking at the eldest lady in confusion. At this time, the mistress of the house was the backbone!

The eldest lady made a desperate move and said, "Jiu'er, from now on you will be Yu Wushuang and complete his mission! The old county magistrate's death should be kept secret in advance, and all the affairs of the county government should be handed over to the second uncle, the county magistrate. Everything will be settled after Jiu'er passes the exam and ranks among the top three! If she fails... then we will die together!"

She held Yu Jiuer's hand and said, "You must strive to do your best! Whether Yinshan County can turn things around depends on you! I hope you can make up for your mistakes!"

"Jiuer will definitely live up to the mission!" Yu Jiuer bowed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally she managed to save her life.

She went into the room to change Yu Wushuang's clothes, combed his hair, and looked at the face in the bronze mirror. The face was delicate and dignified, very similar to her in modern times.

From twenty-five to sixteen, she felt like she had gained nine years of time.

It was already past midnight and the temperature was getting even colder, but the common people who had returned home from outside the county government gate were reluctant to leave.

Seeing Yu Wushuang coming out with the help of servants, the shivering people rushed forward excitedly.

"My Lord, I'm so glad you're okay! These eggs will help you replenish your body!"

Yu Jiuer waved her hands quickly: "No, thank you for your concern! I can't accept your things, you can all take them back!"

The original owner had been a bad guy in the past, doing all kinds of embarrassing things to take advantage of others, and she felt very guilty about it.

But she didn't expect that just as she declined one of the people, another one came to her:

"I made bacon out of wild rabbit in the fall. It's the best nutritious food!"

"My dried mushrooms are also nutritious, please don't despise them, young master!"

"I also brought some homemade ginger powder for Miss Nine. You can soak it in water and drink it to ward off the cold. Girls are fragile, so you have to be careful!"

......

The common people took out the things they were holding in their arms and handed them over to the young master, fearing that he would not accept them and run away after putting down the things!

The one running at the end is the lame uncle who lives near the county government office. His father starved to death last winter and his mother is still lying in bed. His wife and son at home are barely able to eat, so why are they helping her?

Is the county government poorer than your family?

"you……"

Looking at the "heartfelt gifts" scattered all over the ground, Yu Jiuer felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

The Yinshan Mountain, home to tens of thousands of people, experienced ten years of invasion from the Western Regions and another ten years of slavery. Although there have been no natural disasters or man-made disasters in the past twenty years, the population is still decreasing. Now there are only more than 5,000 people left, and among these more than 5,000 people, 2,000 able-bodied men are selected to serve every year, and the rest are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.

Those who serve in the army are required to participate in building the Great Wall and defending against foreign enemies on a voluntary basis and cannot return home all year round.

Therefore, Yinshan County is a place with vast land and sparse population, weak labor force, low grain production, and no guarantee of food and clothing!

The so-called "Yinshan Contract" is the shackles that control the Yinshan people, and she has to find a way to abolish it.

Now, the original owner's brother and the old county magistrate died because of her, and Yu Jiuer was overwhelmed by guilt.

She has to protect the people here for her brother, otherwise she will not be able to sleep or eat in peace!

She wanted to use her wisdom to create a better life for the people and comfort her brother's spirit in heaven!

The palace examination is just the beginning!
