Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

It was not until today that Shen Zheng discovered that the Ministry of Justice did not need to enter the cell to visit the prison.

The jailer said that since Luo Bizhi became the Minister of Justice, he had set up a narrow room in the prison for prisoners to visit. And during the visit, there would be a special jailer to watch over the whole time to prevent any accidents.

At the moment, the four people have to go to the physical examination room for a body search first, and only after confirming that they are not carrying any dangerous items can they go to the visiting room.

Shen Zheng took a quick look at the medical examination room. It was low and cramped, barely enough for a few people, and one could see the end at a glance.

Jiang Zhiming was the first to enter the physical examination room and came out half a minute later.

He hugged his chest with both hands and almost cried out: "He almost ripped my underwear open for me to see. This Minister Luo is really..."

If he hadn't held it tightly, the last belt would have been pulled!

After all, they are officials in the same dynasty. Can't Minister Luo be flexible and just go through the motions?

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiyu immediately looked at Shen Zheng.

He, Jiang Zhiming, and the jailer were all men, so to put it bluntly, it wouldn't be a big deal if they really took off their pants, but Lord Shen...

"Master Shen..." Before entering the examination room, he whispered, "How about... you wait for us outside? We don't have to go through this prison."

If Lord Shen had any disagreement with the Ministry of Justice, His Majesty would probably be the first to take action against him - he shouldn't have brought Lord Shen here.

Shen Zheng shook her head: "Master Wei, don't worry."

She wanted to see whether the Ministry of Justice under Luo Bizhi's management was humane enough.

As far as she knew, a hundred years ago, women were not allowed to visit prisoners, and the rule that "women can visit prisoners" was also set during the reign of the previous emperor.

Therefore, she was very curious. As this rule has been developed to this day, how will women be treated when they come to visit the prison?

Half a moment later, Wei Xiyu came out.

His expression was much uglier than before he entered.

It was just as Jiang Zhiming described - touching the nose, chest, armpits, thighs, and soles of the feet. He was just short of taking off his pants to take a look.

He once again advised Shen Zheng: "Master Shen, let's forget it..."

Before Shen Zheng could refuse, the door of the physical examination room opened again.

The jailer poked his head out and said, "Master Shen, please go to the second examination room next door."

Shen Zheng raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded, and walked towards the wooden door next door.

The door of the second examination room was ajar, and Shen Zheng pushed it open gently.

Unlike the cramped front room, the inside is not only slightly wider, but also has a narrow room separated by three screens, similar to the "dressing room" in the previous life.

Next to the "changing room", there is a set of wooden tables and chairs, with a pot of warm tea on the table.

"Master Shen, please take a seat."

The person who spoke was a woman in her forties. She was wearing a gray cloth dress and pants, a scarf on her head, and a wooden sign on her waist with the words "Female Service" clearly engraved on it.

maid......

Shen Zheng sat down with a smile, and her evaluation of Luo Bizhi rose to a higher level.

"My name is Liu, and I'm a prison maid." The maid said, "Master Luo has signed a guarantee for Master Shen. Master Shen only needs to take off his outer robe and shoes and socks."

"Guarantee?" Shen Zheng asked as she untied her belt, "What guarantee?"

Why didn't Luo Bizhi tell her anything?

"Search and guarantee." Liu Yi Niang took her outer robe and said calmly, "There are not many women who come to visit the prison, and most of them are searched by me. Long before you were imprisoned, Lord Luo sent someone to deliver the guarantee letter, so I only need to check your outer robe and shoes and socks. As for your underwear, I shall not touch it."

Shen Zheng felt surprised.

She asked, "If I have anything prohibited on me, will Lord Luo be held responsible?"

Liu Yi Niang nodded. "That's right. Long before, there was a precedent for women visiting the prison with guarantors, but the guarantor had to be of high status and had to sign a guarantee in advance. If anything happened, both parties would be held jointly responsible."

Looking at the faint light emerging from the hole in the brick wall, Shen Zheng felt complicated.

But they had only met once, and Luo Bizhi extended such a generous olive branch to her?

It seems that those two books really played a big role.

She would have to take a good look later to see if there was anything suitable and give it to Luo Bizhi before leaving Beijing.

Liu Yi Niang was carefully examining her outer robe. She thought for a moment and then asked, "If Minister Luo doesn't vouch for me, what will the body search procedure be?"

Luo Yi Niang brushed her fingers over the stitching of her clothes and said with her head down, "You don't need to take off your underwear, but I will need to examine you."

Shen Zheng understood.

This is what Jiang Zhiming called "pulling down one's pants".

Thinking about having her armpits and waist touched, she ultimately did not let Liu Yi Niang go through the formal process.

Forget it.

Mainly ticklish.

In just half a moment, Liu Yi Niang finished the inspection. Shen Zheng had just put on her outer robe, shoes and socks when Jiang Zhiming's voice came from outside the door.

"Master Shen...um, are you okay?"

His tone was full of worry, and he obviously didn't know that there were female servants in the second examination room.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside. Shen Zheng was dressed neatly and Liu Yi Niang sent her to the door.

"Female..." Jiang Zhiming's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief: "There's a female servant in this room?"

You didn't even tell me you were a female servant!

He was worried for so long in vain!

Led by the jailer, the four of them arrived at the visiting room.

The visiting room was surrounded by stone walls with wall lamps on them, but the damp and musty smell could not be dispelled. There was only a long table inside with a bench next to it.

Obviously, they would sit on one side and Wu Ti would sit on the other side later.

Just as they sat down, a cold wind blew in from outside, making the wick tremble and the flames jump and flicker.

"Crash—clang—"

At the end of the outdoor corridor, the distinctive clattering of chains could be heard. As the sound grew closer, the jailer whispered, "The criminal Wu Ti is here."

Several people looked outside the door and saw two jailers, one on the left and one on the right, escorting a man towards them.

The man had wooden shackles on his hands and feet, and the shackles were connected by thick iron chains. Every time he took a step, the chains would make a "clang" sound, which was particularly obvious in the visiting room where the only sound was the burning wick.

Lin Yan's grip on the sackcloth bag suddenly tightened, and before anyone could react, he suddenly stood up and tried to rush over.

"Dog Officer, take your life!"

Jiang Zhiming was startled and reached out to hug Lin Yan's chest and abdomen.

Unexpectedly, the other party looked thin, but was very strong. After dragging him to the ground, he was able to keep his body steady and continue running towards the door.

Shen Zheng was sitting at the outermost seat. Seeing this, she didn't care about anything else. She turned sideways and stretched out her leg, tripping Lin Yan to the ground.

With a loud "bang", Lin Yan fell to the ground.

At the door, Wu Ti laughed so hard his whole body was shaking. "You're Lin Jiaomu's son, right? You're really... exactly like your father. I feel so sad every time I think of him. How could such a good person... just be gone?"

"I kill you......"

Lin Yan dug his nails into the cracks in the ground, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He raised his head, and hatred solidified in his eyes.

"You bastard, you deserve to die! You deserve to die! Why don't you die yet?"
