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

Chapter 607: A man of both literary and military talents, a pillar of the country!

In Happy Lane.

There are not many wealthy families living in Huanxi Lane. Most of the people there are ordinary people. Therefore, the courtyards in the lane are not very big. Houses are close to each other. At night, if someone talks or beats their children, you can hear it if you get close enough.

The front door of the first house in the alley is right next to the alley entrance, so they can hear any noise at the entrance.

A thin woman was prying at the crack of the door, putting her ear close to the slit, but the wind was howling in the cold, so she could only hear one or two sentences out of ten.

Suddenly, she seemed to have heard something huge. The blood drained from her face and it turned pale, and her lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

Perhaps it was too unbelievable, or perhaps she was afraid that she was too scared, so she screamed subconsciously. She raised her hand tremblingly and covered her mouth.

"My child's father..." She opened her mouth and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. Only she could hear it. But at this moment, her whole body was shaking and her legs were weak. She really couldn't speak.

She had no choice but to use her hands and feet to stumble back into the house and bolt the door with a "click".

"My child's father, it's bad...it's all over..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The man in the room saw that she looked strange, and hurried forward, holding her and touching her forehead: "Why are you like this? Are you, are you feeling unwell..."

If there is anything wrong with my body right now....what else could it be except smallpox?

For a moment, the man thought a lot, but still did not let go of the woman's hands.

"I, I'm fine..." The woman swallowed her saliva, leaned on him for strength, and then pointed to the door and said tremblingly: "The prefect, the prefect is here, at the entrance of the alley, and he said that he wants us all to be infected with smallpox..."

She heard it clearly!

The prefect set an example by being the first to contract smallpox, and then, he also let the soldiers in the prefecture get infected!

She was filled with fear. The man saw his own shadow in her eyes and heard her say, "The prefect wants to turn Xingning Prefecture into a dead city! In order not to harm other prefectures..."

"What?!" The man looked at the door in disbelief, holding the woman's shoulder and asked, "Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong? No, no, the prefect is not that kind of person. He won't let us die!"

The prefect is a good man.

He and his wife were not originally from Xingning Prefecture, but came from outside to do business. In the past few years, business was not good, and they could not make much money. What's more, the house they rented was robbed.

The thief not only stole the little money and belongings they had left, but also smashed the only valuable pieces of furniture in the house to pieces as if to vent his anger.

And the furniture was lent to them by the owner!

At this point, not only was the money stolen, but they were also sued by the original owner to the government, demanding compensation for the furniture.

The owner of the house did nothing wrong and was also a victim. But, but they didn't even give them a chance to breathe. Wasn't this going to drive them to death?

Just when they were desperate and prepared to close the shop and return to their hometown to borrow money to repay their debts, the prefect seemed like a god descending from heaven and paid for the furniture out of his own pocket.

The prefect also said, "If you close your shop, you will really lose your livelihood. I will pay the thief first, and after the thief is caught, the government will ask him for the money on my behalf."

In this incident, the most innocent person changed from the couple to the prefect - he did nothing wrong, but became the one who was cheated and paid the money.

But the couple will always remember this kindness in their hearts.

And that petty thief...seems to have not been caught yet. I heard that the prefect has many people hanging around with the same charges.

Thinking of this, the man shook his head violently, "The prefect has always been very kind to the people, and even saved my husband and me... Our door is still some distance away from the alley entrance, you may have heard it wrongly."

Just as the woman was about to be persuaded by him, there was a knock on the gate.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"The prefect is here, open the door!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked at each other suddenly, their eyes filled with fear - could it be... true?

The knocking on the door continued, and each sound was like an evil ghost urging his life: "Is there anyone who wants to open the door? If not, I'll knock on the door!"

Bang the door!

This small broken door can't withstand the impact of brute force!

It was only a matter of time before the door was forced open.

The man seemed to have made up his mind, and he pushed the woman back to the bedroom and walked straight to the gate. His steps were extremely stiff, and he turned one step into three steps.

The palace soldier had leaned on the crack of the door at some point, urging, "Hurry up! This is such a great thing, don't waste any time!"

What a great thing!

At this point, the man didn't know whether to trust his wife or the soldiers outside the courtyard.

"Squeak--" The door finally opened, and the man looked up and stared at Jiang Zhiming. His wife's words appeared in his mind for no reason, and he trembled all over: "I know, I know, I know..."

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Zhiming was no longer surprised by this, so he walked in first and said with a smile, "No one in your family has been infected with smallpox, right? There are still countless people waiting behind us, so to make a long story short..."

Immediately afterwards, the man heard words even more shocking than "The prefect wants everyone in the city to get infected with smallpox and die together."

That is - "The prefect wants all the people in the city to be infected with smallpox... and live together."

so.......

His wife didn’t hear wrongly. The words were the same, but the meaning was completely different.

The face in front of him gradually overlapped with the face in the court in the past - the other party sat high in the court, throwing the lots with one hand in an extremely chic manner, and the way he took out his own wallet to pay the money was even more handsome.

How could such a person deceive them?

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Jiang Zhiming said directly, "It's hard to believe, isn't it? But the fact that I dare to show up in Happy Lane is the best proof that cowpox is effective."

After that, he opened his arms and turned around like a flower fairy. Finally, he took a deep breath, raised his head and sighed: "Ah - so comfortable -"

"......" The man blinked, looked at the palace soldiers again, and suddenly asked: "You vaccinated first, then let the palace soldiers get vaccinated, and then let me get vaccinated. Do you want me to be the vanguard and convince the people in the alley?"

Jiang Zhiming opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, sucked his teeth, and praised directly: "If you have any achievements, you should be a great general under my command!"

Who can bear such praise from someone who admires him?

Who wouldn’t feel unhappy after hearing these words?

The man swallowed his saliva and raised his neck: "My name is Zhou Xu, I will plant the seeds! I will plant them now! If nothing else, the whole Huanxi Lane, from the beginning to the end, I will buy it all for you!"

Jiang Zhiming glared: "He is good at both literature and martial arts, a pillar of the country! What a pity, what a pity!"
