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

The lazy cicada was chirping, and Luo Kuangwen covered his cheek with one hand, his head dazed.

His sister had used all her strength in those two slaps just now. He had never been hit like this since he was a child and could remember.

He felt a buzzing in his ears and could hear nothing except the chirping of cicadas.

He watched his sister's mouth open and close, and as she spoke, two more lines of tears rolled down her face.

Luo Kuangwen stretched out his hand and cleaned his ears. He waited quietly for a moment and listened attentively.

Still can't hear clearly! He can hear voices, but the words that were easy to understand in the past seem to be scrambled and reorganized today, and he can't find the logic in them.

Like a tangled ball of thread, with no end found.

Luo Kuangwen was a little panicked. Was he deafened by his sister? How would he live in the future? !

The son of the county magistrate became deaf?! Then he would be looked down upon by everyone! He couldn't become deaf.

He became more and more afraid, but he didn't know whether he should hate his sister. His sister had loved him since he was a child, and would let him choose first whether it was clothes, food, or small toys sent by outsiders.

His sister always likes to reason with him and never tires of telling him what he should and should not do.

He originally didn't want to listen and was even very impatient, but since his sister always gave in to him, he had to pretend to listen.

He thought that his sister must be preaching some moral principles again.

He just came to see the Tongan County Magistrate. If she was really a witch, he would...

What was he doing?

Oh, and the dagger! He brought a dagger!

My sister is here, so I must not take out the dagger. I have to hide it well.

Luo Kuangwen didn't even bother to cover his face and quickly reached out to press down his sleeve.

The sleeves are empty.

No, where is his dagger? Did it fall on the way here? He loves that dagger so much, he can't lose it!

As soon as he turned his head, he was met with more than a dozen pairs of vicious eyes.

Like a wolf seeing a hare, his eyes glowed green and were full of murderous intent.

He took two steps back suddenly, and before he could say anything, he was pinned to the ground by five or six big men.

"Beat him to death! Beat him to death! He wants to harm Lord Shen!"

Then, fists rained down on him like a rainstorm.

These villagers work in the fields every day. They have very strong hands and know where the most vulnerable parts of the human body are.

Those punches and kicks hurt Luo Kuangwen so much.

But he had no way to resist. Just one big man was enough to deal with him, let alone five or six.

He had no choice but to curl up on the ground and wrap his head with his hands. His ears no longer worked properly, but his brain couldn't be damaged.

Then he suddenly heard his sister crying, "My Lords! My Lords! Tell them to stop! Stop hitting me, if you want to hit me, hit me! I am willing to be punished for my brother! He is still young and growing. If he is left with old injuries, in the future..."

Then what reached his ears was the sobbing of his sister, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Luo Kuangwen suddenly found that he could hear voices, and he said incoherently with joy: "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! It hurts! Ah! Stop hitting me! Don't hit my sister either!"

Seeing the villagers were getting angry, Shen Zheng advised, "Don't fight for now. We have to follow the law and we have a way to deal with him."

She turned to look at Yu Zhengqing again: "Yes, Master Yu."

Yu Zhengqing's face was still full of anger, but he still responded.

The villagers reluctantly withdrew their hands, but one of them remained to hold down Luo Kuangwen, preventing him from getting up.

Luo Kuangwen was completely depressed after being beaten. He asked breathlessly, "You Tong'an County people don't follow the law. Why did you beat me for no reason?"

The sturdy man who was holding him down heard this, punched him again, picked up the dagger on the ground and handed it to him.

"Why did we hit you? Should we wait until you hurt Lady Shen before asking you why you hurt her?"

Luo Kuangwen's eyes suddenly widened. When did this dagger fall into their hands?

He had no intention of killing the witch anymore. He kept shaking his head and said, "It's not mine. This dagger is not mine!"

"Kuang Wen!"

The girl was extremely disappointed at this time. She shouted to stop him and then whispered: "This dagger fell out of your sleeve."

She felt a little regretful at this moment. If she hadn't slapped her brother, the dagger wouldn't have fallen out by chance.

Was it her... who harmed her own brother?

After a moment she shook her head again. When she arrived, Kuang Wen had already been captured by Lord Shen. It was only a matter of time before he discovered the dagger on his body.

It is true that she is the eldest sister, but no matter what, she is just a little girl raised in the boudoir.

She was at a loss as to what to do regarding such a serious matter and was extremely confused.

Why not just ignore it, she thought, everyone has his own fate, and what happened to Kuang Wen today was purely his own fault.

But she only has this one brother. When they return to Yonglu County, she will not be able to escape the punishment her brother has received today...

When the girl lowered her head, she saw Luo Kuangwen looking at her with tearful eyes.

This is my own brother who grew up in front of my eyes, how can I ignore him!

The girl made up her mind, lifted her skirt, bent over, and knelt on the ground.

Her face was covered with tears. She looked up at Shen Zheng and said, "Master Shen, my younger brother made a mistake. It was because I and my family did not teach him well. I am willing to take the punishment for him. I will accept any punishment..."

Although she was raised in the boudoir, she loved to read some cases on weekdays. If she remembered correctly, her brother's behavior today did not deserve the death penalty.

After all, even the weapon he brought with him was dropped accidentally during the scuffle. Now he can only be convicted from the perspective of premeditation. If someone insists on his own defense, it is not impossible to claim that he only carried a dagger for self-defense.

But her brother was still young and could not stand the punishment. Now they were in Tongan County. If he confessed under torture, her brother's purpose would be discovered in no time.

It is now clear whether to confess on your own or to suffer in vain.

Choosing the lesser of two evils is the best solution at the moment.

Shen Zheng looked down at her, not knowing whether to sigh over their deep sibling love or feel sorry for her.

She clearly did nothing wrong today, but because she had an ignorant younger brother, she had to kneel down and beg for mercy for him.

Shen Zheng sighed softly and asked, "Are you going to take any punishment for him?"

The girl thought she agreed, and after hesitating for a moment, she raised her head and said, "I... accept it."

Shen Zheng didn't want her to live like this, and Luo Kuangwen would not allow anyone to be punished for his behavior today, he would not remember it.

She deliberately asked: "Even if it means losing my life?"

The girl's pupils contracted rapidly and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Compensate with your life?

Has it come to this? Is she going to pay for Kuang Wen's life?

The girl became frightened.

She knew a little about what the head constable Wang Wu and his father had done in the past. Although she knew it was wrong, she was just a little girl. What could she do? Should she persuade her own father or the head constable Wang Wu?

If she dared to persuade him, her mother would marry her off immediately.

Anyone who destroys the family's wealth does not deserve to live in the Luo family.
