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

Shen Zheng guessed that the oil-paper bag in his hand must contain the delicious buns from yesterday morning, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly.

Just as she was secretly cursing Xu Zhubu for eating alone, Xu Zhubu called her and said, "Sir, I would like to confirm with you about the opening of the court today."

Shen Zheng frowned. Didn’t this guy see that she hadn’t had breakfast yet?

No matter how reluctant she was, business was the most important thing, so Shen Zheng had to go to the book room with him, thinking that if she finished her business quickly, she might be able to have breakfast in the public kitchen.

When the two of them arrived at the book office, Shen Zheng was thinking about breakfast and didn't even want to sit down: "What does Xu Zhubu want?"

Xu Zhubu placed the oil paper bag in his hand on the table, and then slowly opened it to reveal the plump white buns inside.

A familiar fragrance wafted into Shen Zheng's nose. She sniffed it and became even hungrier.

But she was also a little angry: "Master Xu, I don't know why you want me to wait until you have breakfast before we can talk about it."

Xu Zhubu looked at her and chuckled, "I bought double the amount. My Lord, please stop standing and sit down to eat together."

Shen Zheng's expression changed immediately. She thought that there were too many people just now, and Xu Zhubu was embarrassed to ask her to have breakfast since he didn't buy breakfast for the constables. It turned out that she had misunderstood him.

She sat down and took the bun without hesitation, eating while saying: "This bun is a bit expensive. I understand that you can't afford to treat the constables to it. When our county office has money in the future, please buy more for everyone to taste. Then the county office will give you money!"

Xu Zhubu lowered his head and ate a bun. When he heard Shen Zheng's words, he nodded slightly.

After they finished their meal, the two men took the case files they had written earlier and walked towards the court, where the detectives were already waiting.

When Zhao Xiu saw the two of them coming, he called Xiao Yuan to go to the prison to pick up the person. When they arrived at the cell where Liu Buckya was imprisoned, Liu Buckya refused to come out no matter what.

He curled himself up into a ball, buried his head and shouted, "I won't go out! I'd rather stay in this prison!"

Zhao Xiu knocked the iron ruler against the cell wall, his face fierce: "Then only the iron ruler in my hand can get you through."

Liu Bucktooth raised his head when he heard the familiar voice, and when he saw that the person coming was Zhao Xiu, he trembled with fear.

This black-faced constable really hurt him that day. If it was any other constable, he would have dared to act like a rogue again, but he didn't dare to do that to the one in front of him.

He rolled over and got up: "I'll go, I'll go."

When Shen Zheng saw Zhao Xiu and Xiao Yuan coming with Liu Bucktooth, he ordered the constable to open the gate of the county government office and beat the drum to open the court.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside the county government office. As soon as people saw the gate open, they rushed in. The ones running in the front were the people who had been tortured the most by Liu Bucktooth in the past.

Today, the county magistrate publicly tried Liu Bucktooth and vented their anger!

A woman said to the people next to her, "Finally someone came to deal with this scoundrel. Do you know how many times he stole my clothes? Three times!"

The woman next to him covered her mouth in surprise: "One more than me!"

The conversation between the two of them was heard by an old woman nearby. She said disdainfully, "Your small clothes are nothing. He even stole my foot bindings!"

"Oh..." The two women felt that having their clothes stolen was not a big deal.

"Silence!" "Mighty...powerful...!" The detectives in the hall were also in full swing today, taking out the silence signs that had not been used for a long time.

The county residents in the hall were talking in low voices: "Today is so formal, it seems that Liu Bucktooth will not have a good life in the future."

"That's a great thing. We don't have to worry about him stealing anymore. In the past, we never knew when he would break into our house, so we had to carry our belongings with us every day!" said an old man who was frightened by Liu Bucktooth's thefts.

The county government compound was packed with people at this time, but Shen Zheng still spotted Man Niang in the crowd at a glance and smiled at her. Man Niang also smiled and raised her hand to greet Shen Zheng.

"Bang!" She slammed the gavel.

"Today! The county court is publicly trying the prisoner Liu Bucktooth. I'm sure there are many victims in the court. If there is anything wrong, please point it out and we'll go to court!"

"Good!" The county residents in the hall responded one after another. They had been looking forward to the court session today since they learned the content of the notice yesterday. They all hoped that Liu Bucktooth would be beheaded!

Liu Buckya, who was kneeling in the hall, was so frightened that his mind went blank. He felt that he had lost all strength and could hardly kneel anymore.

Shen Zheng picked up the case file on the desk and said, "The criminal Liu Bucktooth, whose original name is Liu Dezheng, was imprisoned because he followed this county magistrate a few nights ago and attempted to do something bad to this county magistrate."

"Wow!!!" The county residents who were listening in the hall could no longer remain silent. This was simply too horrifying!

In the past, they thought that Liu Buckya's stealing, molesting girls and other things were too much, but now they feel that compared with this, those things are nothing!

Just a small witch compared to a big witch!

Listen, they were plotting something bad! The target of their plot was actually their county magistrate!

They couldn't help wondering if the county magistrate had been...

Shen Zheng knew what the county residents were thinking when she saw their expressions. She couldn't help but sigh. In the minds of most people, if a woman lost her innocence, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Even though Shen Zheng was the county magistrate, she could not withstand such rumors in this world.

She had no choice but to tell him the whole story of that night.

It's better for her to tell it out loud than for the county residents to guess. As for whether they believe it or not, that's their business.

When everyone heard Shen Zheng take out the county magistrate's token and Liu Bucktooth said he was illiterate and didn't believe Shen Zheng was the county magistrate, they burst into laughter.

Although most of them are illiterate, they are not as stupid as Liu Bucktooth!

When they heard that Xu Zhubu subdued Liu Bucktooth in just a few moves, they all looked at this usually gentle and refined Zhubu.

An aunt in the hall said to the young girl next to her with a proud smile on her face: "I told you before that this Xu Zhubu must have meat under his clothes, but you didn't believe me!"

The young girl standing next to her covered her face shyly: "We are not as knowledgeable as you. Now! We believe it."

The bold women in the hall secretly looked at Xu Zhubu, as if they wanted to see through his clothes to see what he looked like underneath.

Xu Zhubu, who was sitting on the side of the hall, turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the women below the hall and continued to record the case files with a pen.

Shen Zheng glanced at him secretly and thought that this man was really patient.

She looked at the reactions of the people in the hall again, and seeing that they did not question what happened that night, she began to list Liu Buckya's crimes one by one.

Shen Zheng smoothed the files in his hand, looked at Liu Bucktooth who was kneeling in the hall and said:

"The criminal Liu Dezheng, 30 years old, has been doing nothing in Tong'an County, stealing and bullying his neighbors, and even molesting decent women. After investigation by the county government, we have found a total of 12 known crimes."
