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

Tongan County, Qingyuan Village.

"What are you doing here? You are not welcome in Qingyuan Village! Don't even take one step inside!"

A group of men protected the older Zhang Lizheng behind them and glared at anyone who was about to step into the territory of Qingyuan Village.

Although the people of Qingyuan Village had not had any conflicts with the people of Linmu Village since the day they dug the canal, they were still holding a grudge in their hearts.

I live by my own hard work, but I am still looked down upon by others.

That feeling is quite unpleasant.

They didn't want to see people from Qingyuan Village, especially the one in Lizheng.

He despised them most.

But today, for some unknown reason, he brought a group of people to the border of the two villages and was about to step into the territory of Qingyuan Village.

Seeing that they were still not leaving, Zhang Lizheng said in a deep voice, "Hurry back to your Linmu Village, or don't blame us for reporting to Lord Shen."

When Yu Lizheng from Lin Muchun heard Shen Zheng's name, he shuddered and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But he came today because Lord Ba gave a death order. If he doesn't follow the order, it will only be worse!

Yu Lizheng was suddenly in a dilemma. He turned around as if asking for help, looking for a figure in the crowd behind him.

A moment later, a man walked up from behind the people of Linmu Village.

This man was about thirty years old, dressed quite elegantly, with a white jade pendant hanging around his waist, and the hair crown on his head was not something that ordinary people could afford.

Zhang Lizheng and the person next to him looked at each other, both of them were puzzled.

They didn't know this person.

He doesn't look like someone from Linmu Village.

This man was either rich or noble, but there was no trace of arrogance on his face. Instead, he walked through the crowd of Linmu Village, came to the front, and said in a gentle voice:

"Zhang Lizheng, fellow villagers, you have misunderstood. We are not here to cause trouble. I hope you can let us pass and give us a chance to speak."

His words were a bit humble.

"Who are you?"

When Zhang Lizheng was called by his name, he became even more confused. He looked the man up and down and asked.

The visitor raised his hand to salute and replied, "I am the chief clerk of Quanyang County. My surname is Ning and my given name is You."

The chief clerk of Quanyang County? !

Everyone in Qingyuan Village took a step back.

Isn’t the chief clerk of Quanyang County the nephew of Yu Lizheng of Linmu Village?

As an official, why should he be so nice and bow to them, a group of peasants?

Zhang Lizheng frowned and recalled that when he was at the gate of the county school just now, he did see Mr. Ba from Quanyang County.

Those people in front of me...

Zhang Lizheng and the others looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Beneath the shock, there was also a hint of joy.

Could this be what the adults said on the day they dug the canal? If they believed her, they could just divert the canal, and then the people of Linmu Village would come to them for help.

What made them happy was not that they had finally received an apology from the people of Linmu Village.

But the adults, she never lied to them in anything she said or did.

Zhang Lizheng figured out the purpose of the crowd and straightened his back a little, but the person opposite him was a chief clerk anyway, so he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

An inappropriate idea came into his mind.

——The person opposite is a chief clerk, so shouldn’t they also call their own chief clerk over? This is reasonable, right?

at this time.

"Da da da da——"

The sound of horse hooves came from behind the people in Qingyuan Village, and everyone turned around to look.

The adults are here!

A look of joy appeared in Zhang Lizheng's eyes.

The two carriages stopped one after the other, and Balezhan was the first to lift the curtain and get out.

He thought that the people in Linmu Village had already apologized, but who knew that they hadn't even set foot in Tong'an County!

He was a little unhappy, and looked straight at Ning You and said, "You can't even handle this little thing?"

Ning You did not make any excuses and immediately bowed his head to confess his crime.

"It is my fault, please forgive me, sir."

Balezhan gritted his teeth, his expression changed, and after a moment he smiled again.

He turned around and said with a smile, "Zhang Lizheng, what happened that day was all the fault of the people of Quanyang County. Can you let them come over first and apologize to the people of Qingyuan Village?"

Zhang Lizheng blinked when he heard this.

The person who spoke so kindly, with a hint of request in his words, was he the magistrate of Ba County in Quanyang next door?

He is an official!

Not to mention the whole world, just in Liuyang Prefecture, how many ordinary people can be treated like this by officials?

Zhang Lizheng knew that he, a mere village chief, was still as small as an ant in the eyes of Magistrate Ba County.

The face given by Magistrate Ba County was actually given to his master. With the help of his master, he became a lowly ant that could stand on the stage.

"Master Ba, what are you talking about? We are really terrified that you can come in person. What happened that day..."

Zhang Lizheng was a little hesitant. Since Magistrate Ba had given him face, he naturally had to give him some face in return. However, he was not sure about the extent.

If the face is given too little, it will be a disgrace to Magistrate Ba; if the face is given too much, his own village will not be favored. It will be too humble and it will be a disgrace to the adults.

It’s really difficult to work in this small “officialdom”.

Just as Zhang Lizheng was hesitating, Shen Zheng stepped off the carriage and walked slowly towards him.

When Zhang Lizheng saw her, his eyes lit up.

The backbone is here!

Shen Zheng nodded slightly at him and said, "You are the masters today, I will just watch from the side."

This means that she will support whatever decision Zhang Lizheng makes.

Zhang Lizheng immediately gained confidence and made a quick gesture to everyone.

The men standing in front of him separated to both sides in an orderly manner, leaving a passage between the two sides.

This is a skill that the patrol team had developed before, and I didn’t expect it to come in handy today.

The crowd dispersed, and when Lin Muchun Yu Lizheng looked up, he happened to meet Shen Zheng's eyes.

Those eyes clearly showed no emotion at all, but they made him panic, and he quickly lowered his head.

He suddenly remembered what his nephew said a day ago:

"The fact that you can come and apologize today is an opportunity that Lord Ba has begged for you. If Lord Shen and the people of Qingyuan Village are willing to forgive you, then Linmu Village will still have a chance to clear the canal and plant rice. If they are not willing..."

Ning You knew that this possibility was not high, but he still paused and said with determination:

"For the sake of the entire Quanyang County, Lord Naba might...so no matter what, you can give up your face, but you must apologize properly!"

Yu Lizheng was extremely nervous as he had heard about what happened to the Yonglu County Chief Constable.

Not only did Lord Shen hate people who bully others by taking advantage of their power, he was also extremely protective of his own shortcomings. But on that day, he violated both of his taboos...

Now he has lost his position as village head and his nephew’s salary has been fined because of him.

Only then did he realize how wrong he had been.

Zhang Lizheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and walked towards Qingyuan Village with stiff steps.

When the people in Qingyuan Village saw them coming, they thought the thoughts in their minds were quite strange.

They were humiliated when digging the canal that day, and they were really furious. They wanted to rush to Linmu Village in the middle of the night and beat them all up to vent their anger.
