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

The flesh on Zhao Xiu's cheeks trembled, and he even forgot to struggle, looking at Xu Zhubu in disbelief.

He was torn between his conscience and his desires, and in just a short moment he thought of countless possibilities.

It is absolutely impossible for him to obey. He has absolutely no interest in men, and he loves Hui Niang very much.

If you don’t obey, what should you do now?

Beat up Xu Zhubu!

No! That's like hitting a rock with an egg.

Beating a superior is a capital crime. If he dies, what will happen to Hui Niang and the baby? What will happen to the adults? What will happen to Xiao Yuan and the detectives?

"You, you, you..." Zhao Xiu seemed to be about to cry. He had been beaten many times in his life, but when had he ever been humiliated like this? It was so embarrassing!

Shen Zheng who was outside the door couldn't stand it any longer. If they continued to make a fuss, they would attract everyone here and it would be even harder to explain.

Zhao Xiu looked like a bullied young wife. If she spoke up for Xu Zhubu, others might think she was protecting him.

She coughed lightly and walked to the door.

Zhao Xiu stopped struggling the moment he saw her. He turned his head to look at Xu Zhubu, then at Shen Zheng, and immediately understood.

He moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just called her softly: "My Lord..."

Shen Zheng had a complicated expression and looked Zhao Xiu up and down.

At this moment, he really looked like he was sick, just as Xiao Yuan said. His face was pale and he seemed to have no strength left.

Just now, he might have been at a disadvantage in the wrestling with Xu Zhubu - his clothes were torn to the collar.

Shen Zheng turned around and said, "Show it to Xu Zhubu."

"Sir!" Zhao Xiu was unwilling and said anxiously, "There is nothing good to see on my body. It is just some injuries I suffered when I was young. Please don't look at it, so as not to pollute the eyes of Xu Zhubu."

Shen Zheng ignored him and called out, "Master Xu."

Xu Zhubu nodded, put one hand on Zhao Xiu's shoulder, and pretended to take off his clothes with the other hand.

"Master Chief Clerk!" With Shen Zheng backing Chief Clerk Xu, Zhao Xiu could only stand there and howl no matter how unwilling he was.

But it was not appropriate to be stripped by a man. He knew that he could not hide it today, so he could only hold down Xu Zhubu's hand and said, "I will take off my clothes myself. I always feel... weird when you do this."

Shen Zheng: ...He is a man of integrity.

She had her back to them and could only hear the rustling sound of her taking off her clothes.

If she only looked at the upper body, Shen Zheng herself felt that it was nothing and she could look at it by herself. After all, she had seen that kind of style many times in the streets in her previous life...

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Even if she is willing now, Zhao Xiu is afraid she would not be willing.

There was a silence behind her. Xu Zhubu and Zhao Xiu did not speak. She could only ask, "How is it?"

Zhao Xiu looked at Xu Zhubu pleadingly.

It’s not that I don’t want him to speak, but I want him to play it down.

But how could Xu Zhubu do as he wished? "Sir, it was whip wounds, probably two or three, the wounds are red and swollen, but fortunately there is no bleeding. It must be because Captain Zhao got caught in the rain and rolled in the mud yesterday, and something dirty got into his skin, and it was not treated in time."

Zhao Xiu immediately retorted upon hearing this: "It's two! Not two or three!"

Shen Zheng was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he still had the mind to worry about this!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Put on your clothes."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Zheng turned around and Xu Zhubu came to her side. Zhao Xiu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, looking like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

Seeing him like this, Shen Zheng couldn't say the harsh words in her throat, but she still couldn't figure out why Zhao Xiu did this, so she could only ask: "Why did you hurt yourself?"

Zhao Xiu didn't dare to tell the truth. He was thinking, if he told his master what he thought yesterday, would the master think that he was a disloyal subordinate and become alienated from him?

This was the scene he least wanted to see. To him, the adult was a Bole, but he was not a thousand-mile horse, just an ordinary horse.

He was afraid that the adults and the county government would no longer trust him, which would be a huge blow to him.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Zheng emphasized: "Tell the truth!"

Zhao Xiu's heart trembled, and he had to explain all his thoughts yesterday.

"...I was almost instigated to rebel by the village chiefs. Although my wife is smart and explained the pros and cons to me, I really don't know if I would have deceived you if she hadn't been there yesterday."

He wanted to say maybe not, because he realized later that it was wrong, but saying it now seemed like he was making excuses for himself.

Shen Zheng felt bitter in her heart. Xu Zhubu glanced at Zhao Xiu and asked, "Are all of you martial artists so straightforward?"

"Is your subordinate straight?"

Zhao Xiu himself doesn't think so, but if he were to say it himself, he is brave enough to take responsibility for his actions.

Xu Zhubu shook his head helplessly, "You must take the blame for something that hasn't happened yet? Zhao Xiu, you are a true gentleman."

Zhao Xiu frowned slightly. Could it be that what Xu Zhubu said was praising himself?

He was praised, but he couldn't be happy, because what Xu Zhubu thought of him was not important. What was important was how the adults would look at him, and whether the adults... would be angry.

Shen Zheng turned her head and met Zhao Xiu's cautious eyes.

For a man as upright as Zhao Xiu, she didn't know what to say at this moment. She took a breath and said, "Zhao Xiu, a gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart. You have done very well. I don't blame you."

Zhao Xiu took a step forward and was about to speak when Shen Zheng continued, "If you had made up your mind, you would not have gone home and told your wife about this. You were just confused at the time. No matter what happened, you didn't lie to me in the end, and that's enough."

These two sentences seemed to give Zhao Xiu a reassurance. He clenched his fists happily, but immediately grimaced in pain.

Seeing him like this, Shen Zheng sighed and said, "Don't do this again in the future. No matter what, you can't hurt yourself. Think more about your family before you do anything."

Zhao Xiu thought of Hui Niang, and the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared. He replied in a sullen voice: "I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again in the future..."

Shen Zheng nodded and said to Xu Zhubu, "Please take him to see a doctor. It's hot, don't let the wound remain red and swollen, otherwise it will cause big problems."

After she finished speaking, she walked away. She thought, saying that Zhao Xiu was wrong was actually not wrong.

In the following few days, Tongan County was very lively. First, a notice was posted at the gate of the county government office, saying that they would recruit teachers for the county school. The county residents did not know why, but they were still very happy.

Even if they and their children cannot go to the county school, the bigger the county school becomes, the more powerful their Tongan County will become, which is always a good thing!

Secondly, the rice in every household has been dried almost completely, and the next step is the tense and exciting moment - weighing the yield per mu!
