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

Shen Zheng handed the token forward: "Would you like to take a closer look at it?"

Wang Wu's expression instantly became terrified. He knew that there was only one county in the surrounding area whose magistrate was a woman, and that was the magistrate of Tongan County who had just taken office a few months ago.

I heard that since this woman took office, the lives of the people in Tongan County have become much better. She not only gave them jobs, but also distributed food to them.

Now, people in Tongan County are saying that their county magistrate is not an ordinary person. There are even more bizarre rumors that she is an immortal! Even the people in Yonglu County have heard about this.

He knew that he had hit a wall today. Although it was impossible for her to be an immortal, a woman who could control an entire county so well must be someone with some means.

Thinking of this, he fell to his knees.

After he knelt down, he saw the detectives beside him still standing there stupidly, and he was extremely angry.

He wanted to pick up the iron ruler on the ground to teach his men a lesson, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't pick it up after trying several times.

In desperation, he could only growl, "What are you all standing there for? Get down on your knees!"

No wonder Wang Wu was able to become the head of the police force because his reaction was quicker than others.

Only then did the standing constables realize what the token was. Their legs went weak and they knelt behind Wang Wu.

The county residents who had not yet left were surprised to see that the usually arrogant Wang Wu actually knelt down to a woman, and they began to discuss the matter in a low voice.

"Is Captain Wang under a spell? Why is he kneeling down?"

"I don't know. Looking at the token in the woman's hand, she must be someone of some importance! Humph, she looks so majestic in her official robes, but she is actually a bully."

"I think that token is very similar to the token of our county magistrate. Could that woman be an official?"

"Stop talking, hurry up and leave. Wang Wu is here. This man is more cunning than a needle tip. When that nobleman leaves, we will be the ones to be dealt with!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd dispersed immediately, fearing that they would be in trouble.

Apart from anything else, Wang Wu's image in their minds is really bad. Not only does he bully others by taking advantage of his power, but he also takes revenge for any slight.

Wang Wu, who was kneeling, secretly looked at the backs of those who were talking about him, but the coarse linen clothes on these people were all similar, and he could not tell who the person was just by looking at the back.

He gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, who dared to say such bad things about him, Wang Wu? If he knew who they were, he would make them pay for it!

Shen Zheng saw the veins popping up on his forehead and his masseter muscles bulging, and said sarcastically:

"Is this captain dissatisfied? If so, I will accompany you to the Yonglu County government office."

Wang Wu's heart suddenly trembled, and he kowtowed three times.

"I dare not! Today I have offended you because I was blind and did not recognize you. I hope you can show mercy. I will be very grateful!"

Shen Zheng sneered. He was really a bully. Even now he didn't apologize sincerely, but hoped that she would let him go.

She continued to ask, "I bought this carriage today. Does Captain Wang like it?"

How could Wang Wu answer this question? If he said he liked it, it would mean he admitted that he had set his sights on the carriage before. If he said he didn't like it, he would lose face for the person in front of him.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his upper teeth kept knocking against his lower teeth. He thought for a long time before complimenting:

"Your Excellency's carriage is of course excellent. I dare not covet it."

"Ah."

Shen Zheng laughed and said nothing more.

Wang Wu lowered his head and waited for a long time, but seeing that there was still no movement above his head, he had to secretly look up.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he met Shen Zheng's mysterious eyes, which scared him so much that he lowered his head again.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart what the Tongan County Magistrate was trying to do, and he didn't even give a definite answer.

In fact, Shen Zheng was also thinking about how to deal with the people in front of her. After all, they were not under her command, so dealing with them would not be as smooth as in Tongan County.

If she was a constable in Tong'an County and dared to steal the property of passers-by, she would be dismissed from her position and, if not have her legs broken, she would be punished with a beating.

How is this different from banditry?

But she had something else to do today and didn't want to get entangled with them any more.

If she really let them go like this, she would feel very unhappy.

Shen Zheng's thoughts were fruitless, so she turned around and asked Xu Zhubu: "Master Zhubu, what do you think I should do with them?"

Wang Wu shuddered again when he heard this. Today he actually scolded two officials...

At this moment, he wanted to die. If these two people really got serious with him, he would suffer a lot.

Xu Zhubu cleared his throat and said, "I think these constables are not from our county after all. Although they have offended you and me, it is not a good idea for us to deal with them on our behalf."

Wang Wu was delighted. Are they going to let him go?

But Xu Zhubu's next words made his heart completely cold.

"We happen to be going to Liuyang Prefecture today. Why don't we report this matter directly to the prefectural government office and let the prefect handle it? What do you think?"

Shen Zheng looked at Xu Zhubu saying these words seriously and laughed in her heart. In terms of being cruel, he was the one.

She looked embarrassed and said, "This matter is not small, but it is not big either. If we report it to the government office, will it be too much trouble for the prefect?"

When Wang Wu heard that Shen Zheng did not agree immediately, he felt that there was still room for maneuver.

He kowtowed three times again: "I am in such a state, how dare I trouble you two gentlemen and the prefect to worry about me? I hope you will think twice!"

Shen Zheng did not answer, but just touched Zhuifeng's back and sighed:

"Alas, I just bought this horse today, and it has only been running for a little while, but it got frightened here, Captain Wang, what do you say I should do?"

Wang Wu immediately understood the meaning behind her tone.

He immediately reached into his arms, took out the purse, and handed it to Shen Zheng.

"I frightened your horse today, and I feel guilty. I hope you can accept this silver and help calm the horse down."

Shen Zheng looked at the small purse and pursed her lips. He wanted her to let him go for just a few dollars?

Wang Wu knew from her expression that she was dissatisfied. He cursed the corrupt official in his heart and reached out his hand to the constable behind him.

"Take them all out!"

Even though these detectives were reluctant, their boss had already handed over the money bags, so they had no choice but to give them back.

Shen Zheng immediately collected more than a dozen money bags, weighed them in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.

It's quite substantial.

Only then did Wang Wu heave a sigh of relief, thinking that today he had finally warded off disaster by spending money.

Shen Zheng stopped looking at them and turned to Xu Zhubu and said, "Let's go. We still have to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhubu took the reins and flicked them lightly, and Zhuifeng started walking.

Wang Wu looked at their backs and was about to get up when he heard Shen Zheng in the carriage sigh softly.

"Alas, Zhuifeng has calmed down, but you and I are still not calmed down."

Wang Wu: ??? What do you mean? !
