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

She turned around quickly, and before she could see the man's face clearly, she shouted, "How dare you, you bastard! How dare you follow this county magistrate!"

The drunkard had a drink with his friends today. On his way home, he turned a corner and saw a graceful young lady, and immediately became lustful.

It had been a long time since he had touched a woman, and when the feeling came over him, he secretly followed the young lady, thinking that he would drag her into the alley where his house was.

But who would have thought that this young lady would find out, and she said she was the county magistrate? It was ridiculous.

"It's true that the county magistrate of Tongan County is a woman, but it's not something you can decide just because you say so. Do you want to bluff me? No way! If you know what's good for you, just obey me. If you serve me well, I won't tell anyone tomorrow."

Only then did Shen Zheng see the man's face clearly. For a moment, she didn't know whether his words were more disgusting or his appearance was more disgusting.

The man was as thin as a bamboo pole, with high cheekbones, slanted eyes, and buck teeth with his two front teeth exposed.

Although she couldn't see clearly, Shen Zheng could imagine how yellow these two teeth must be.

She held up the county magistrate's token and said, "Here is the county magistrate's token. Get out of here if you know what's best for you!"

In fact, Shen Zheng was thinking of sending the people away first, and then bringing the constables to catch this scoundrel.

The bucktoothed man was scolded by Shen Zheng and felt that he had lost face in front of the woman. Adding on the fact that he was horny, he actually wanted to make a move on Shen Zheng!

"Bah! I can't read, don't think you can fool me with just a piece of broken sign!"

Shen Zheng's face turned cold and she took two steps back. It seemed that talking was no longer enough.

She clenched the hairpin she had just pulled out in her hand, and looking at the figure of the bucktoothed man, she thought that she might still have a chance if she took a chance.

Just as the bucktoothed man's hand was about to touch Shen Zheng and Shen Zheng was about to stab his wrist with the hairpin, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the alley.

The moonlight shone on the man's back, making it difficult to see his face clearly. However, after working together for more than a month, Shen Zheng could still recognize Xu Zhubu's figure at a glance.

Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was easy to handle.

The bucktoothed man turned around and saw someone coming, and tried to run away.

Shen Zheng kicked him in the knee, causing the bucktoothed man to stagger and almost fall to the ground!

"Master Xu, catch him!"

When the bucktoothed man steadied himself and raised his head, Xu Zhubu was already standing in front of him.

There was a clear height difference between the two. Xu Zhubu's eyelids drooped as he looked down at him coldly, "You are quite brave."

At this time, the bucktoothed man saw clearly the tall man in front of him.

He was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth chattered: "Master...Master."

He was a little afraid to think about it. The man in front of him was definitely the chief clerk of the county government. Could that woman really be the county magistrate?

The bucktoothed man felt that he had sobered up a lot. His knees softened and he knelt down in front of the two men, kowtowed to them fiercely:

"My Lord County Magistrate, My Lord Chief Clerk, I drank a little horse urine, but I was so blind that I offended you, my Lord County Magistrate. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Shen Zheng looked at the cowardly man and sneered, "Don't you want me to be sensible and serve you well?"

"How outrageous!" Upon hearing this, Xu Zhubu kicked the bucktoothed man in the stomach, causing him to lie on the ground screaming in pain.

Shen Zheng was shocked by his action. She thought that Xu Zhubu, a gentle and elegant scholar, would not hit anyone.

Xu Zhubu turned around, and Shen Zheng looked at him in the moonlight, seeing his somewhat angry expression.

"What else did he say to you, sir?" asked Xu Zhubu.

Shen Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything else. I just said I didn't believe I was the county magistrate."

Xu Zhubu nodded, then bent down and grabbed the bucktoothed man by the clothes on the back of his neck as if he were a poultry, and dragged him on the ground towards the county government office.

The bucktoothed man didn't dare to struggle and could only beg for mercy, repeatedly begging them to let him go.

Shen Zheng looked at Xu Zhubu's back and was surprised at his arm strength.

I didn't expect that he, who usually looked inconspicuous, was carrying a man as easily as a chick.

The man's wailing was so loud that it disturbed the neighbors along the way. Xu Zhubu kicked him again and said, "Shut up."

In this way, the three of them arrived at the gate of the county government office. At this time, the only sound around them was the rustling sound of a man being dragged on the ground.

After opening the small door, Xu Zhubu said to Shen Zheng, "My Lord, please go and rest first. I will put this man in the prison first."

Shen Zheng was indeed a little tired today. She nodded and walked towards the bedroom yawning.

After Shen Zheng finished washing up and lay down on the bed, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Xu Zhubu why he appeared there.

Just as she was thinking about asking him tomorrow, Shen Zheng fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Shen Zheng woke up by herself in the dim light.

She usually wakes up early because she has something to do the next day.

Today is the first day of digging ditches and building canals, and it is also Shen Zheng’s first step towards success!

Shen Zheng got up and washed up, feeling full of confidence and had completely forgotten what happened last night.

After breakfast, Shen Zheng walked towards the book room where Chief Clerk Xu worked. He used to study there early in the morning.

But today, when Shen Zheng walked into the bookkeeping room, she didn't see anyone.

"It's strange. Where have all the people gone on such an important day?" Shen Zheng muttered to herself.

As soon as she walked out of the book room, she ran into Xu Zhubu who was walking towards her.

Seeing him, Shen Zheng asked, "Master Xu, why did you come just now? We have to go to Shanghe Village!"

There were some dark circles under his eyes, and he said to Shen Zheng in a gentle voice: "Please forgive me, sir, I went to bed late last night."

Only then did Shen Zheng remember what happened last night.

"Where is that scoundrel now? I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I beat him up!"

After hearing what Shen Zheng said, Xu Zhubu smiled and said, "He's in the cell, but it's too late to beat him now. We have to set off."

Shen Zheng nodded in agreement. Business is more important. We’ll fight again when we come back!

"Let's go, let's start doing something big today!"

Shen Zheng and Xu Zhubu called two constables, and the four of them headed towards Shanghe Village.

Shen Zheng was really bored on the way. She thought about what happened last night and said to Xu Zhubu, "Why did you appear there last night, Xu Zhubu?"

Xu Zhubu was stunned for a moment before he replied, "I ate a lot at dinner yesterday, so I thought I'd go out for a walk to digest the food, but I didn't expect to hear your voice."

It was true that he wanted to digest his food, but he hadn't seen Shen Zheng since they finished talking about digging the canal yesterday afternoon. The constable at the door said that she had gone out carrying a sack, but she hadn't returned in the evening.

He thought that the adulteress was a woman after all, and it was not safe for her to walk at night. He guessed that she was going to Wangjiazhuang, so he thought of walking in that direction while digesting his food to see if he could find her.

But his purpose of going out is not important. What is important is that it is a good thing that he went out. If he were to rely on an adult alone, even if he could escape, it would probably take a lot of effort.

Shen Zheng didn't notice anything unusual about Xu Zhubu, and continued, "Luckily you ate too much, otherwise I would have had a hard time trying to escape last night!"

Seeing that she said these words without any regard for her reputation as a woman, Xu Zhubu had no choice but to stop her:

"It would be bad for your reputation if anyone told the truth. It would be best if the man was convicted as a thief."
