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

Shuanzi’s father will never forget.

I will never forget the day when Ning Shunyou sent people to surround them in the village.

That day there was wailing everywhere, and even the sky was dark.

Is Ning Shunyou a good official? Shuanzi's father asked himself.

He asked himself again and again, and he forced himself to believe Huang Hu's words, but he couldn't lie to himself.

How many people starved to death in Jimu Village? How many people drowned? If they were not trapped in the village, there would be a way to survive, right?

Qiao Li was looking at him intently and said in a hoarse voice, "Shuanzi Dad, I know what you are thinking."

Shuanzi’s father was speechless.

"But where is Ning Shunyou now, have you forgotten?"

Shuanzi's father was stunned.

The people in Jimu Village should all know where Ning Shunyou is.

Because General Yu had lived in Jimu Village for many days and nights, he had told them those words countless times.

——Ning Shunyou has been detained and imprisoned by him. He will not let him go, nor will he let go of anyone who has been in cahoots with him. He will give them justice.

The suffering they have endured will not be in vain.

The tears and blood shed will not be in vain.

"Trust General Yu." The head of the village said, "He treats us well. Trust him and also believe what Huang Hu says."

Shuanzi's father hesitated for a moment, but the tragic situation in Jimu Village not long ago kept lingering in his mind and could not be shaken off.

"Li Zheng, I know what you mean, but this time the disaster..." His eyes were empty, as if there was something stuck in his throat, "Too many people died in our village this time."

The cemetery at the east end of the village was filled with new graves one after another. Those people were clearly still boasting and laughing with them a few months ago, but after a disaster, their smiles faded and their lives were gone.

Who can accept this? Their lives are weeds, worthless in the eyes of others.

But weeds are the cheapest. If they really can't survive, why would they let themselves wither?

Women are often more emotional and sensitive than men.

The wife of the village head understands the distress in Shuanzi's father's heart, but she claims that as the wife of the village head, she has to consider the "overall situation" most of the time - after just suffering a disaster, the villagers need some hope so that they can live better.

And this "joint letter" touched her deeply.

The people of Tongan County had just solved the problem of food and clothing, but they were already thinking about them who were thousands of miles away.

And there was Mr. Shen. The headman's wife didn't know how much rice Mr. Shen donated, but she knew that they had been eating the same kind of rice since General Yu came to Jimu Village.

That amount of rice might be enough to feed the entire village for several months.

How many meters is that?

She only knew that she had never seen so much food in her life, but Lord Shen showed no regrets and sent it over directly.

"Tong'an County..." She murmured, unable to help but picture the appearance of Lord Shen in her mind, "Huang Hu said that Lord Shen is the first female county magistrate in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She must have the appearance of an immortal. If I could see her in this lifetime..."

She suddenly remembered something, was stunned for a moment, and asked Qiao Lizheng: "Qiao Shuigen, who did Doctor Li in the shed say he was from?"

Qiao Li was also stunned by her question.

He recalled what he had seen and heard outside the shed area, and after a moment he said uncertainly: "It seems... it is Tongan County?"

He had accidentally heard the three words "Lord Shen" from the conversation between General Yu and Doctor Li. Doctor Li was very respectful to "Lord Shen" and his face was full of respect when he talked about him.

The headman's wife slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "It must be! It must be like this, even Doctor Li was sent by Lord Shen to save us!"

Shuanzi's father looked at the village head Qiao, then at the village head's wife, and asked in a daze, "Is Lord Shen really a god? Doctor Li came not long after the epidemic broke out in our village. If he hadn't known about the epidemic in advance, how could Doctor Li have caught up?"

After these words were spoken, no one present doubted Li Shiyuan's origins. Instead, they became more convinced of Shen Zheng's identity as an immortal.

"It must be like this!" The wife of the village head was very excited and instilled ideas into Shuanzi's father: "We, the people of Jimu Village, are all poor children, so we were seen by the merciful Lord Shen. Shuanzi's father, believe it or not, in the future, all our villagers will have a good life!"

Shuanzi's father didn't know what was wrong with him, so he said without thinking, "I believe it."

The last bit of lamp oil was about to burn out, and the light began to flicker crookedly.

The wife of the village head took advantage of the last glimmer of light and spread out the linen covered with handprints. She said to them, "So we have to believe Huang Hu's words. Our emperor is kind and cares about us, so he sent General Yu to jail that dog official."

Several people nodded. If General Yu had not come, it would be hard to say what Jimu Village would be like now.

"And there are officials..." The headman's wife looked up at the sky.

Moonlight poured down, and the stars twinkled in the night sky. She smiled softly, "What's that saying? We just met the wrong person. I don't believe that all these officials are conscienceless."

Qiao Lizheng hummed, and said something pretentious: "We just haven't met our own 'Lord Shen'."

Several people burst into laughter and stopped talking. They just looked up at the night sky, the moon and the stars.

Amid the rustling of night insects, the oil lamp completed its final mission and the moon took over its shift, casting its bright light down. The touch of red was even more conspicuous under the moonlight.

Suddenly, Shuanzi's mother heard Qiao Lizheng say, "Tomorrow, call everyone... to come and have a look."

......

The next day, Xingning government office.

Xingning prefect Jiang Zhiming ran to the yamen with his sleeves spread out, completely disregarding the image of etiquette.

"Sir! Sir! We can't stop them, we really can't stop them!" His face was as bitter as a gourd, and he started to complain as soon as he saw the person he was looking for, "I don't know where the people got the news from, but they said that the epidemic in the city is very evil. If we don't run away, we will die here!"

Today, the people spontaneously formed a force and stood guard at the city gate, confronting the government soldiers.

When had he ever seen such a scene? Even rabbits would bite when they were angry, let alone those ordinary people who only had one life?

The nearest garrison in the imperial court is still a hundred miles away from Xingning Prefecture. If those untouchables rush into the government office...

He was so busy crying that he didn't notice the gloomy look on the other person's face. "Sir, you have dealt with all the people, but why is this happening?"

Although the people are used to saying that everything they hear is true, if no one in the palace is infected with the disease, how could the people react like this?

He sent people to investigate and found that on the west side of the city, where the governor had stayed before, there were indeed people infected with the disease.

The epidemic came suddenly and it was a severe one. Once anyone was infected, they would lose their appetite and become emaciated. Their energy and spirit would be completely drained!

How is this different from a ghost claiming your life? It's too scary!

If this matter is not handled properly, his official hat, his mansion, and his eight concubines will all be gone!

But he didn't dare to question Governor Lu loudly, so he could only test the other party with his words to see what he meant.
