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

In the Tongan County Court, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat quiet.

Yu Zhengqing had just taken two steps when he stopped where he was after hearing Shen Zheng's question.

After a moment, he said, "I will go to the Yonglu County Office and bring the captain over."

Yu Zhengqing had never expected that at his age, he would still act so impulsively, but this matter was really infuriating.

Seeing that he left immediately, Shen Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, I am very busy with the affairs of the Tong'an County Office now, and I don't want to cause any trouble with this matter, so I wonder if you can..."

It's not that she doesn't want to punish Wang Wu personally, but in the current Tongan County Court, everyone is wanted to be used in pairs.

If she were asked to look up the origin of the porcelain vase, she would have to spend a lot of time and energy, but Yu Zhengqing was different.

As the prefect, he would not be as short of manpower as she was. And anyway, Yu Zhengqing would be able to do things much more smoothly in Yonglu County than she did, so it would be best to let Yu Zhengqing handle this matter.

It feels so good to have someone backing you up, Shen Zheng thought.

The other people in the hall were all shocked. His master was ordering the prefect to do something. It would be strange if the prefect was not angry!

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhengqing turned around after hearing this, and his anger actually subsided a little.

He snorted and asked Shen Zheng, "Are you asking me to take care of this matter for you?"

Seeing him like this, Shen Zheng knew that he agreed, and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Your Excellency said last time that I failed as a county magistrate and was short of manpower. Now it is exactly the situation, and your Excellency is so powerful. If you were to handle this matter, you would definitely do it beautifully and make Wang Wu pay for it!"

Yu Zhengqing sneered and asked, "When did I say you failed? You can't tell the difference between good and bad words! If you fail, then 90% of the officials in our Great Zhou will not be able to succeed."

Shen Zheng didn't expect Yu Zhengqing to think so highly of her. She stood up and walked over, saying, "I am not worthy of this position. I will... trouble you, sir, for this matter."

Yu Zhengqing glanced at Shen Zheng and nodded in agreement.

He took into account that the Tongan County government was indeed very busy. Not only would the rice be harvested soon, but the county school and textile machines were only just beginning to pick up steam.

If this matter was left to Shen Zheng, she would be overwhelmed.

As he thought about it, he sat back in his chair and asked Shen Zheng, "Do you want to go with me to the Yonglu County Office to have a look, so that I can vent your anger for what happened that day?"

Shen Zheng was a little moved when she heard this. If it was about punishing Wang Wu, she really wanted to see it.

But now the Tongan County Government really can't do without her.

She sighed softly and rejected Yu Zhengqing's kindness, but to be honest, she still felt a little unwilling if she really didn't go to see it.

Then Shen Zheng looked up and met Zhao Xiu's expectant gaze. She gave Zhao Xiu a questioning look, and Zhao Xiu nodded at her.

Shen Zheng chuckled, turned to Yu Zhengqing and said, "Sir, can Chief Constable Zhao Xiu go with you? I will just serve as your subordinate."

"Zhao Xiu?"

After a moment, Yu Zhengqing realized who she was talking about. He glanced at Zhao Xiu and nodded in agreement.

This man is loyal, so sending him is a good choice.

Yu Zhengqing pondered for a moment and then said, "Then I will take the person back to the government office to deal with him. As for the person you want, Zhao Xiu will bring him back to you."

Teacher!

Shen Zheng's eyes lit up. Yu Zhengqing was really efficient.

"Thank you, sir."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qiu Niang and Lu Si who were kneeling in the hall. What Lu Si said before, that Wang Wu used their daughter to force him to drug him, was probably not true. The actual situation should be that Wang Wu promised Lu Si some benefits.

But since this matter was handed over to Yu Zhengqing, she didn't want to worry too much about it, so she just asked Qiu Niang:

"Ding Qiu, it seems that Lu Si and Wang Wu will be imprisoned for sure. What do you think? Tell me now, and I can make the decision for you."

The implication in Shen Zheng's words was obvious. If Qiu Niang still didn't understand, then she would be powerless to help her.

Qiu Niang raised her head when she heard that, and she met Shen Zheng's gaze, which was full of pain and confusion.

Although she doesn't have much feelings for Lu Si now, in her opinion, the husband's family is a woman's heaven.

Lu Si was imprisoned, what should she do...

When she reported Lu Si, she only thought about not letting him harm Nanba Village, but did not think too much about her own situation.

Now that she thought about it carefully, she felt that her second half of life was hopeless. She dared not go back to her husband's home. If her mother-in-law knew that it was she who reported Lu Si, she would definitely skin her alive.

But Laner...

When Qiu Niang thought of her daughter Lan'er, her mind became clearer. Lu Si had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. He either beat or scolded Lan'er. To him, Lan'er's usefulness was to be sold for a good price after she came of age.

Now the county magistrate has taken the initiative to offer to make the decision for her. If she misses this opportunity, there will be real hopelessness in the future!

As soon as she turned her head, she met Lu Si's vicious gaze.

She found it a little funny. Now that Lu Si was about to go to jail, he still cared about her affairs. So, she would let him take a good look!

Qiu Niang made up her mind, mustered her courage, and said word by word: "Please, sir, please make the decision for me and allow me to divorce Lu Si..."

The others in the hall hadn't reacted yet, but Lu Si was furious. However, he didn't dare to yell now, and just gritted his teeth and said to Qiu Niang:

"Ding Qiuer, you dare!"

In his opinion, although he has been caught and going to jail is a foregone conclusion, what is this called?

The attempted drugging failed!

He had just heard from the Tongan County Magistrate that she and Wang Wu had a feud.

Not only did he not really kill the rice in Tongan County with poison, there was someone behind the scenes directing him, so even if someone really wanted to be beheaded, it would be Wang Wu's head.

Therefore, even if Lu Si was really sent to prison, he would definitely have a chance to turn things around.

He was thinking about dealing with Ding Qiuer after he got out, but who knew that Ding Qiuer would dare to divorce him? !

Haha, Ding Qiuer has lost all her dignity. She would rather be a divorced wife than to have anything to do with Lu Si!

Qiu Niang looked at Lu Si after hearing this. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't let them fall. She changed her cowardly tone and spoke in a cold voice:

"Why shouldn't I? Lu Si, the county magistrate is the one who makes the decision for me now. Even if I want to divorce you, what can you do?!"

She felt unsatisfied after she finished speaking, and continued, "Not only do I want to divorce you, I also ask you to help me get Lan'er out of your den of wolves and tigers! From now on, I will take Lan'er back to Nanba Village to live and serve grandma well!"
