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

Until Mo Zonkai was taken away, none of the guards in the Mo Mansion dared to move, and some of them even showed a hint of satisfaction on their faces.

But this sense of pleasure is only temporary. After lingering in the heart for a moment, it disappears quietly like smoke.

They failed to protect the eldest son. Even if they returned to the palace to report the news, they would not escape punishment. At the very least, they would suffer broken bones, and at the worst, they would lose half their lives.

Mo Zonkai's followers knew this very well, so they crawled forward, crying and pleading for Mo Zonkai: "Mr. Prefect! Mr. Shen! Please, please forgive the eldest son. The eldest son was just anxious for a moment and almost made a mistake, but, but fortunately, it didn't turn out to be a big mistake. I hope the prefect will give the eldest son another chance!"

A hint of disgust flashed across Yu Nanshu's eyes. She pulled Yu Zhengqing's sleeve and took two steps back. The meaning was self-evident.

Yu Zhengqing patted her hand soothingly and chuckled, "Did you ask the wrong person for help? This is the territory of Tongan County, not my territory. What's the point of asking me for help?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is just a joke and an excuse.

But the follower grabbed Shen Zheng tightly as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, crying and begging:

"Sir Shen, Sir Shen! What the eldest master said just now is true. He is also concerned about Mr. Fan's future, so he resorted to this desperate measure. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive the eldest master this time!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said that. Once he said that, Shen Zheng's gaze stayed on him for a moment longer.

"So, you know a lot about the incident and are an important witness?"

The follower's crying stopped abruptly. He looked around in panic, not daring to answer for a moment, "Little man... little man..."

Diwu Tanwei watched for a long time and got a general idea of ​​the incident from the students around him.

I guess it was the Mr. Mo who was kneeling on the ground. He failed in his love proposal and became angry and wanted to threaten the scholar's future?

She despised such behavior.

——Whether you are a man or a woman, whether you love or not is what your heart desires. It is also human nature that it is difficult to control one's mind. But whether the other party accepts such feelings or not is also the other party's choice. If your courtship fails, you will get angry and use some dirty tricks?

Next.

If it were her fifth exploration...

Diwu Tanwei's expression was slightly stagnant, and a smile crawled from the corner of her mouth to her eyes.

She just wanted to bring all the beautiful things in the world to the other person and let him choose. If the other person doesn't accept it? That doesn't matter.

There is no rule that there will be a fixed amount of return for your efforts, right?

Under the surprised and puzzled gazes of the crowd, the Fifth Tanwei slowly walked up to Shen Zheng's side, then she leaned forward slightly and grabbed the follower's hands.

The hands were still tightly grasping the corner of Shen Zheng's clothes.

He held it tightly and firmly, and refused to let go even when his fingertips turned white.

But Diwu Tanwei seemed to have exerted no strength, and he pulled his hand away. "You can cry out for injustice if you want to. Who told you that you need to pull the corner of the judge's clothes to cry out for injustice?"

"Puchi——" Many people around laughed at inappropriate times.

The followers looked at her stupidly.

Although he did not know this woman, how could someone who could stand next to an official so casually be an ordinary person?

Shen Zheng smiled at the Fifth Explorer, then looked at his followers: "I just asked a question, and you haven't answered yet."

"I..." The follower suddenly felt that there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind him, and any answer would be wrong, "I just trust the eldest master."

"Okay." Shen Zheng waved her hand after hearing that. "Then your master-servant relationship will be complete. Come, take him away as well. Separate him from his eldest son so that he won't feel bad."

The attendant had never expected that such a hasty answer would implicate him. Even after being escorted away from the crowd, he was still crying out for injustice: "Sir Shen! I knew nothing about this matter. Please! Please forgive me!"

Now without their two backbones, the guards of the Mo Mansion looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Shen Zheng raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Why don't you go back and report the news?"

Report?

The guards' throats rolled and they shuddered.

If I go back to report the news now, wouldn't that be courting death?

Shen Zheng said "Oh" and asked, "Are you scared? Then I'll give you a solution."

The guards didn't expect her to be so kind. They all looked at her and begged: "Master Shen, we know we are guilty today, but we... can't help ourselves. Otherwise, please put us in jail together..."

They really didn't dare to go back home and endure the endless anger of the master of the house. It would be better for them to go to jail with the eldest son, and maybe they could even get the title of "loyal servant".

Shen Zheng also knew that the words "I have no choice" were not used by them to evade responsibility.

Their indentures were all in the hands of the Mo family. Not to mention following Mo Zonkai to ruin things, even if Mo Zonkai wanted to commit suicide in a fancy way, they would have to risk their lives to perform.

She also saw Mo Zonkai being taken away just now, and there were even guards there... Was she secretly happy?

"I will not imprison you." Shen Zheng said something that disappointed them, "But..."

but?

The guards felt like their hearts were being held in her hands, swinging up and down, and they were extremely nervous.

"But I'm not saying that I can give you a solution."

The guards all raised their heads, and Shen Zheng said with a smile: "Report today's events to your eldest lady first. As for whether she will inform the head of the Mo family, that is not your concern."

It is not difficult to hear from Mo Zonkai's previous words that he and Miss Mo do not get along.

Shen Zheng's words seemed to be giving the guards some ideas, but in fact she was trying to lure the "rumored" Miss Mo to come.

——If the head of the Mo family knew the news in advance, it would be disadvantageous to both Shen Zheng and Miss Mo. The news of Mo Zonkai’s detention would be suppressed as long as possible.

The guards had no idea what she meant, but...

"Sir Shen, if we go past the head of the family and report to the eldest lady first... we are afraid..."

I was afraid that the master of the house would be even more angry after knowing this.

"No." Shen Zheng said firmly: "Just tell Miss Mo that I ordered you to go find her first. She will know how to deal with it."

The guards were skeptical, and the county residents were unhappy: "What are you standing there for! Hurry up and do what the adults say! If you keep dithering, it will only lead to bad things!"

The guards remembered the fierce looks of the county residents just by hearing the sound, and nodded quickly: "We understand, we will go back to the mansion to find the eldest lady to report the news."

"That's right." Shen Zheng smiled and waved: "Go quickly."

Seeing them trembling and about to leave, Yu Zhengqing thought for a moment and said, "I am also going back to Liuyang Mansion, and I just happened to be with them."

It seems like a stop along the way, but it is actually surveillance.

Shen Zheng blinked and asked, "You don't want to see the new house?"

Yu Zhengqing sighed softly, "Next time, I'll have to go back and check the clerk. But don't cut corners while I'm away. I'll have to check next time I come."
