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

Shen Zheng greeted first, but Wei Que did not respond.

Yu Shizhang was unhappy.

What does that mean? Isn't this a clear show of power?!

He moved slightly, blocking Wei Que's sight, and his voice contained warning and dissatisfaction: "Master Wei, Master Shen is calling you."

Seeing Yu Shizhang's warning expression, Wei Que cried out in injustice in his heart and spoke out what he was thinking directly:

"Your humble servant greets Lord, please forgive me. I did not mean to disobey Lord Shen, but Your Majesty has always praised Lord Shen. This humble servant met Lord Shen for the first time today, and I was distracted by curiosity."

Yu Shizhang glanced at him and said, "That's better."

Wei Que was surprised at how protective he was of his shortcomings, and said with certainty, "That is indeed the case. Lord Shen is just as Your Majesty describes him to be, and he is indeed extraordinary."

Shen Zheng, who had inexplicably become "extraordinary", stepped forward and spoke politely to Wei Que:

"I didn't know Lord Wei was coming today. I went to the village with Lord Bo and others this morning. I was a little careless. Lord Wei, please forgive me."

Yu Shizhang protected her and tried to please Wei Que, but one thing is for sure, she couldn't climb up Yu Shizhang's ladder.

Wei Que, as the deputy governor of the Grain Transport Administration, was much higher in rank than hers, so she had to give him face. Besides, they would have to cooperate for a long time in the future, and after all, they were in the same boat.

Wei Que also gave her face, and his voice was still loud and clear: "I came here suddenly without notifying you in advance. Lord Shen is not in the county government office... uh, it's also normal in the county school."

Only then did he notice that in addition to Earl Yongning, there were two familiar-looking people standing next to Shen Zheng.

"Master Liang, Master Shen, you are here too."

Looking at the postures of these two men, although they are not as protective of their child as Earl Yongning, their postures of standing on the left and right show their intention to protect him.

This made him even more curious about Shen Zheng. He felt that in addition to the events he already knew, this Lord Shen must have other outstanding qualities.

Otherwise, how could he expect to be protected by these three stubborn bulls? Absolutely impossible!

While they were talking, Wei Que led them to the horse parking area in the backyard. Shen Zheng walked beside him and noticed out of the corner of his eye that his legs were a little out of sync.

Although it was only a relatively minor kick, one must know that Wei Que must be a martial artist. If he really couldn't bear it, he would never openly show his physical discomfort to others.

In just that moment, Shen Zheng thought a lot.

Judging from Wei Que's posture, his limp did not seem to be congenital or a sequela of injury, but rather it seemed to be joint discomfort caused by long-term sailing and moisture.

This disease is not serious or minor. As long as you take good care of yourself and improve the humid environment, it will gradually improve and heal.

But asking Wei Que not to sail? Isn't that like asking someone to pick up their rice bowl and smash it? How can that be possible?

Li Shiyuan should have a solution. If the system product can't even cure this minor illness, she will ask for a refund.

Shen Zheng was just thinking about it when Wei Que led them to stand in front of the carriage.

I saw that the cart floor was covered with straw, and in the straw there was an object wrapped in three layers of silk cloth inside and outside. The object was not small and almost filled the entire cart floor.

"Lord Wei, what is this?......" Shen Zheng asked puzzledly.

Wei Que stepped forward, pushed aside the straw covering it, and picked up the flat object.

"Master Shen, do you want to uncover it?"

Shen Zheng was slightly stunned. She had some guesses in her mind and asked, "Looking at the size, the object inside is... a plaque?"

Wei Que laughed, exerted force, and carried the plaque on his shoulder with one hand.

Shen Zheng's eyebrows suddenly jumped.

If the plaque wrapped in the silk cloth was really a plaque, then it would probably weigh about 100 to 200 kilograms. Wei Que carried it on his shoulder with just one hand without showing any effort, which showed how strong he was.

If Wei Que wanted to kill her...

Hiss——It’s just one punch, right?

Wei Que had no idea what Shen Zheng was thinking. He looked around and said, "There's a lot of dust on the straw. Let's not peel it off here. I just saw a stone table in the backyard. Let's go there."

The group walked towards the backyard again, with Wei Que walking in front. Yu Shizhang walked side by side with Shen Zheng, whispering to her, "It looks like... it's a good thing. If I'm not mistaken, your Tongan County will become famous this time."

Shen Zheng stared at the thing on Wei Que's shoulder and murmured, "Could it be... Your Majesty?"

Yu Shizhang nodded, "Almost exactly."

Shen Zheng's heart sank, and she asked again, "Is this a common occurrence?"

Yu Shizhang tilted his head, "If I could really get the handwriting of His Majesty, what I would get would not be those few words, but His Majesty's will. Do you think His Majesty's will is common?"

Shen Zheng searched for past memories in her mind.

Such a holy intention is rare.

What is this called? In her past life's vernacular, this is called blatant favoritism!

Wei Que put the plaque down carefully, but when the heavy plaque touched the cold and hard stone table, it still made a dull sound, like the sound of a muffled bell.

Wei Que patted the rice ashes on his hands and smiled at Shen Zheng, "Master Shen, open it and take a look."

Shen Zheng nodded, becoming a little excited.

She tried to breathe steadily as she walked forward, but her trembling hands betrayed her as she removed the cloth.

Yu Shizhang and a few others came forward together and watched her movements without blinking.

The silk cloth peeled off layer by layer, and the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a breathtaking touch of gold lacquer.

Shen Zheng paused, his eyes filled with shock.

A gold-painted plaque?!

Even Yu Shizhang took a deep breath.

Not to mention the imperial court of the Great Zhou, even the common people of the Great Zhou knew it well.

The size and color of the plaques of government offices in various places were determined according to regulations. The county government office had the most common black background with gold characters, while the prefectural government office had a vermilion background with gold characters.

As for the plaque painted entirely in gold, only government offices in the capital can use it, and it is the highest honor.

And now this plaque...

Yu Shizhang's breathing was unstable, and he urged, "Reveal it quickly."

Shen Zheng nodded, took a deep breath, and the last piece of silk cloth fell to the ground. As the silk cloth fell to the ground, the plaque revealed its true face.

This is a plaque painted entirely in gold. The gold paint is so thick that it covers the entire base color of the wood, making it impossible for Shen Zheng to tell what kind of wood the plaque is made of.

Above the gold paint, there are four big characters written in black paint - Tongan County Yamen.

These four characters are written in silver and iron, deeply engraved in the wood. Just by looking at the characters, one can imagine how noble and imposing the person who wrote them was.

Suddenly the entire backyard was silent, and Shen Zheng could only hear the pounding of her own heartbeat.

Yu Shizhang took two steps forward, touched the golden plaque, and murmured, "It's your Majesty, it's your Majesty's handwriting..."

Shen Zheng stared at the plaque in a daze. The handwriting on the plaque gradually overlapped with the handwriting on the imperial edict.

Only then did she understand that the imperial edict that she had been awarded with was written by the current emperor himself.
