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

After being yelled at by Lu Sichu, Jiang Zhiming closed his lips tightly and acted like a coward.

——It’s impossible to kill someone. As long as I don’t say anything, you can’t do anything to me.

But he didn't expect that the more he did so, the angrier Lu Sichu would get: "Don't I know what kind of person you are, Jiang Zhiming? You're just an idiot! A drunkard and a womanizer! Arrogant and dissolute! You've only known pleasure all your life!"

Jiang Zhiming still said nothing.

Just curse me.

He had heard these words many times, but coming from Lu Sichu's mouth, they had no harm to him at all, just like a tickle.

Lu Sichu continued: "Since ancient times, there has been no cure for smallpox! If the source is not blocked in time, you and I will die in Xingning Prefecture! If you, Jiang Zhiming, want to die, then die. Do I have to bury you with me?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva rained down upon Jiang Zhiming's face.

It stinks...

Jiang Zhiming silently raised his sleeve and wiped it.

"Jiang Zhiming!"

Lu Sichu was completely enraged by this move and roared: "Good, good, good! Jiang Zhiming, last time I listened to your slander and let those people who deserved to die live. Look at it yourself! Now, what has it become? Don't you understand? They deserved to die!"

Perhaps the word "death" is too heavy, or perhaps Jiang Zhiming is too sensitive to this word now.

His nostrils flared slightly when he heard that, and his heart was finally aroused.

He never said it out loud, but that doesn't mean he didn't know it in his heart.

This epidemic was probably caused by his men, Lu Sichu! He said it was just an ordinary epidemic, and that it would be fine if they were buried. In his opinion, those people were infected with... smallpox!

It was Lu Sichu who caused the illness, and now he has the nerve to touch the people in the mansion!

He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Sichu.

"Do you think that if you don't speak, I can't do anything to you?" Lu Sichu no longer had the patience to mediate with him, and directly called out: "Come here! Convey the order of Prefect Jiang, and assemble the prefectural soldiers..."

"Don't spread it!"

Before Lu Sichu could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud shout.

He looked at Jiang Zhiming in disbelief, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

The bailiff who came in response also stood at the door in a daze.

It was really like a fire in the city gate that affected the fish in the pond. On one side was the prefect, and on the other was the governor, making it impossible for him to leave or stay.

Jiang Zhiming swallowed his saliva and waved his hand to the yamen runner, "You go down first. You are not allowed to come in without my order."

Lu Sichu opened his mouth slightly, and for a moment he forgot to react. His eyes were as sharp as knives, as if he wanted to stab Jiang Zhiming through.

He asked again: "Jiang Zhiming, I am asking you, what did you say?"

Every word was as cold as ice, like a death urge.

Jiang Zhiming encouraged himself in his heart, and looked at Lu Sichu with his head stiffened. "Sir, I did not issue this order. My order was to have the soldiers strictly guard Huanxi Lane 2, not to massacre all the people here."

After he said this, he shouted "Mom" loudly in his heart.

Is he crazy? How dare he challenge the governor?

"Are you crazy?" Lu Sichu also asked him: "Do you know what you are saying? And do you know who you are talking to?"

"I know!" Jiang Zhiming spoke faster than his brain. "You are the governor, but I am also the prefect! There is an epidemic in my government, and I have the right to decide what to do! Those people are just sick, not guilty of a serious crime, why do you want them to die!"

"Snapped--"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slap landed on his face.

"You hit me?" Jiang Zhiming covered his face with his hands, his eyes filled with grievance.

"Snapped--"

"You're still hitting me! What gives you the right to hit me?"

"Snapped--"

"Lu Sichu! Even a clay man still has some character. Even my wife has never hit me, so why are you hitting me?!"

Three crisp slaps, and in just a moment, several fingerprints appeared on Jiang Zhiming's cheeks, which showed how ruthless Lu Sichu was.

Lu Sichu sneered and whispered hoarsely, "A clay man still has some character. Jiang Zhiming, I underestimated you before."

It is true that a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. Even Jiang Zhiming, a good-for-nothing, dared to challenge him.

The surface peace was completely torn apart. For the first time, Jiang Zhiming straightened his back in front of Lu Sichu and said, "The people of your humble official cannot be killed at the will of the governor."

He once again reminded Lu Sichu that he was the prefect.

This feeling is really great.

"Good, very good." Lu Sichu laughed in anger, "But don't forget that when the situation is serious, the governor has the right to make decisions on behalf of the government officials. Jiang Zhiming, don't you think the smallpox epidemic is not serious enough?"

Jiang Zhiming lowered his eyelids: "Of course it is serious."

But no matter how serious the smallpox was, what was the consequence?

But it is also a death, although it is a death anyway, but...

He gently stroked his burning cheek, lowered his eyes and asked Lu Sichu: "Two streets and thousands of people, whether infected or not, will be slaughtered indiscriminately. How unfair is this to the people who are not infected?"

"Justice?" Lu Sichu sneered, "Now you are talking to me about justice? Officials only talk about the situation, how can they talk about justice? If the people in these two alleys are not eliminated, then everyone in the city will be infected with the disease. Will you take the responsibility?"

When Jiang Zhiming heard this, he found it ridiculous.

He asked in return: "If you ordered the government soldiers to massacre the people in the alley, then I am not responsible for that. Everyone knows that if you work under Lu Sichu, you can forget about having a good reputation!"

All the bad things were blamed on them, while Lu Sichu alone got the fame and achievements.

There is no such business in this world!

Lu Sichu couldn't count how many times he had been disobeyed by him today, and now he was somewhat immune to his disrespect.

He just said, "Then you, Jiang Zhiming, tell me. If we don't use drastic measures to control the spread of the disease at this time, what will you do? What will you do if the rest of the people in the city get infected and the situation gets out of control?"

Jiang Zhiming looked at him in silence.

He actually has no special skills and is not a very smart person.

At this time, he just didn't want the people to die unjustly, and he challenged Lu Sichu with his anger. As for what to do in the future...

He didn't think about it, nor did he dare to think about it.

Just as Lu Sichu said, smallpox was incurable, and it seemed that the only option except to slaughter as many infected civilians as possible was to close the government gates and wait for death together.

"I thought you were so capable." Lu Sichu sneered, "You need me to teach you the truth that if one person dies, all the people will die together."

"Please stop talking!" Jiang Zhiming gritted his teeth and said, "I will use my own method to resettle the people in the prefecture. If you are afraid that the situation will get out of control and you will be held accountable, please leave immediately."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

Lu Sichu thought he had vented his anger and given in, but who would have thought he said.

"Please don't have any other thoughts, my lord. I will send soldiers to strictly guard Huanxi Lane 2. If anyone else comes... don't blame me for not recognizing them."

When Lu Sichu heard this, his face darkened.

I actually started to be on guard against him.

This face has been torn to pieces.
