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

Wang Wu immediately wanted to chase her and ask her why she wouldn't let him go after he had given her all the money in her bag.

But Xu Zhubu, who was in the carriage, threw back the reins and Zhuifeng started running.

The horse's hooves raised a cloud of dust, which immediately blinded him. He ran after the horse with his mouth open, and swallowed a mouthful of dust.

"Puh, puh, puh!" Wang Wu spat several times with a gloomy face.

The constable behind him stood where he was, not daring to step forward, for fear that opening his mouth would bring bad luck to him.

At this moment, he was both afraid and angry. He was afraid that the magistrate of Tongan County would really report this matter to the government office. He was angry that he had always used his power to bully others in the past, but today he was bullied by power.

He was still furious, but he could not catch up with their carriage, so he could only turn around and look at the constable behind him.

He stared at them for a long time before he slowly spoke: "For today's matter, watch your mouths. You don't need me to remind you of what to say and what not to say, do you?"

Now he had to keep his side stable and not let this matter reach the ears of the Yonglu County Magistrate.

As for the magistrate of Tongan County, he had no other choice but to pray silently in his heart that the woman was just saying that to scare him.

The detectives who were being watched by him lowered their heads one after another: "We will keep our mouths shut."

Today is a day when gods are fighting and mortals are suffering. Not only do they have to endure Wang Wu's anger, but they also have to give away their wallets. They are really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express their pain.

......

Shen Zheng looked back and found that Wang Wu was no longer visible. She placed all the money bags in her arms on the car bed and began to count her gains.

She sat cross-legged and first opened Wang Wu's purse, pouring all the silver and copper coins inside onto her skirt.

"This one is small, more than half an ounce, hmm... this one is good, I guess it's more than one ounce! The head constable of Yonglu County really has some money!"

She carefully counted the small pieces of silver that were poured out. Although they were not big, they were numerous. When the total amount was added with the copper coins, it turned out to be about five taels of silver!

Then she opened the remaining dozen or so purses one by one and poured out the silver and copper coins inside.

There were actually several pieces of silver! It really made people's eyes light up again and again.

She placed the silver coins and copper coins separately and counted them one by one.

When they counted them all, there was nearly twelve taels of silver. For a county constable, especially one who carried the silver with him, it was really not a small amount!

This shows that this group of people usually make a lot of money.

She wiped the silver coins clean one by one and put them into her purse with great care.

This money is different from the county government’s previous income. This money belongs to Shen Zheng!

Xu Zhubu, who was standing by, looked at her money-obsessed look and coughed lightly.

Shen Zheng quickly held the purse in her arms tightly and looked at him warily:

"We just agreed that this is the money they gave to Zhuifeng to calm him down. However, Zhuifeng will definitely not be able to spend all of this money, so I'll keep it for him first."

Xu Zhubu did not want to compete with her and nodded in agreement:

"Zhuifeng was chosen by the lord, so the silver will be kept by the lord."

Seeing how honest he was, Shen Zheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said with pain:

"It's getting late, so we probably need to stay overnight in Liuyang Mansion. Although we are on a business trip today, we can't spend lavishly. After all, every penny of the county government's money was earned by me... ahem, hard work. So, let Zhuifeng treat us to dinner and accommodation today."

After that, she reached out and touched Zhuifeng's butt and asked, "What do you think?"

When Zhuifeng was touched on the butt by her, he neighed and started to trot away.

Shen Zheng nodded with satisfaction. It was truly a generous horse.

"Then it's settled. We'll stay in the upper room today and eat good food! Zhuifeng will also eat the best bean food!"

Xu Zhubu also laughed and said, "Then I would like to thank you, sir and Zhuifeng."

The June wind blew on their faces with a hint of heat. Shen Zheng took a deep breath, and his nostrils were filled with the fragrance of green grass and the smell of moist earth.

This is nice, she thought.

But the next moment she thought of the people of Yonglu County and she was no longer happy.

The constables in their county are all fat and strong, while the county residents have to rely on robbing for food.

Shen Zheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She wished she had the ability to help them.

But now she is just a small county magistrate and does not have such great ability.

She did not make things too difficult for the detectives today. Another reason was that she was not sure what kind of person the magistrate of Yonglu County was.

If he was of the same ilk as those detectives, then even if she brought the matter to the Yonglu County Court, or even the prefectural government office, the only outcome would be to be smoothed over.

After all, the current Tongan County is not very impressive in the entire Liuyang Prefecture.

When facing the official, she was not completely sure of winning.

Although what she said when she left was true, she would not report the matter to the government office for the time being.

I had no choice but to inquire around and wait for the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Shen Zheng thought that Xu Zhubu had been here longer and might know something about the situation.

She asked, "Does Xu Zhubu recognize the magistrate of Yonglu County?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhubu fell into deep thought. He had served in Tongan County only about half a year earlier than her. He really didn't know much about the county magistrate's private character.

He shook his head and told what he knew:

"I only know that the magistrate of Yonglu County is surnamed Luo, and he is about 40 years old. He has served in Yonglu County for more than two years. His performance is mediocre, and his reputation among the people is not good, but it is not bad either."

Shen Zheng nodded after hearing this. At first glance, he might be a mediocre person.

But one cannot judge a book by its cover. As for the full picture of Magistrate Luo, we can only find out more about him after they are done with the matter.

Although she could not feed the people of Yonglu County all at once, she could always make a difference by the time of autumn harvest.

......

Shen Zheng and the other person thought that they didn't have to rush back to Tongan County today, so they relaxed a little.

When we passed a roadside tea stall on the way, we stopped to rest.

It’s not that he was very tired, but it was Zhuifeng’s first time to put on the bike frame, and he was a little uncomfortable. He was not in good spirits all the way.

Shen Zheng bought some fodder from the farmers at the tea shed, and then carried a large bucket of water and placed it in front of Zhuifeng.

Zhuifeng stretched his neck and sniffed the pile of hay in front of him, then snorted and turned his head to the side in disgust.

Seeing its actions, Shen Zheng raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, you're thinking about the bean feed."

She had no choice but to push the bucket towards Zhuifeng: "Then drink some water first, ancestor. You will be able to eat bean feed in half an hour."
