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

Shen Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing what he said. He felt so powerful just by saying a few words?

Cheng Yu also poked his head out: "Master Shen's demeanor just now is completely different from when he was in our house!"

Mr. Qiao nodded in agreement.

Shen Zheng felt a little melancholy when she heard their praises.

This was just the beginning. She had only said a few words and hadn't really dealt with that guy Wang Wu yet.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xu Zhubu leaned back.

"Please go in and have a rest. If you keep pushing us out, we will be squeezed out."

Old Qiao looked at the large empty space between them, blew his beard, and secretly glared at Xu Zhubu from behind, then pulled Cheng Yu back with him.

Xu Zhubu saw Shen Zheng put her head on her knees, and the flesh on her cheeks was squeezed out, making her face quite round.

He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will write to my friends when I get back. Let's first find out who the Yonglu County Magistrate is. After we have the information, we can make a long-term plan and deal with Wang Wu."

Shen Zheng was a little surprised when she heard this: "How do you know I'm thinking about this?"

Xu Zhubu let go of the reins and replied, "As a person of yours truly, you will definitely intervene when you encounter villains and injustices."

These words were clearly meant to praise her, but Shen Zheng didn't know what was wrong with her today. She actually felt like she was meddling in other people's business.

She fell silent and shook her head, trying to get rid of this inexplicable emotion.

After a moment, she made up her mind. No matter if it was meddling or not, she was going to take care of it!

Fortunately, the sky in June gets dark a little slower, and when it was completely dark, they returned to Tongan County.

The road in Tongan County was not very smooth, and the carriage was a bit bumpy on it, causing the two people in the carriage to stick their heads out.

There was no one to be seen on the street at this time, and it looked quite desolate.

Old Qiao looked around this unfamiliar county town. Hmm...it was not quite what he had imagined.

He thought that this girl was so smart. Although Tong'an County might not be more prosperous than Liuyang Prefecture, it was not much worse.

Who would have thought that it looked even worse than Yonglu County we just passed.

Tongan County was very quiet at night, making the sound of horse hooves and wheel wheels seem particularly loud.

When they arrived at the Tongan County Government Office, Shen Zheng jumped off the car and looked at the open door, puzzled.

"Why isn't the door closed today? There seems to be a light on inside. Could something have happened?"

After saying that, she walked in hurriedly. She had only been away for two days, so it couldn't be such a coincidence!

Xu Zhubu also jumped off the carriage and handed the reins to another driver. Old Qiao and Cheng Yu looked at the anxious expressions of the two men, glanced at each other, and followed them.

As soon as the four of them stepped into the front yard, they heard a quarrel coming from the small door connecting the front and back yards.

"It's already night, I can't! I have to go out and look for the adults today. They clearly said they would be back yesterday!"

Shen Zheng recognized it immediately. It was Zhao Xiu's voice. His voice was a little rough to begin with, and because of his excitement, it was a little hoarse.

"Yes! We didn't ask you to go! Brother Zhao and I will go look for them!"

Then Xiao Yuan's voice was heard. He and Zhao Xiu were arguing with the same person.

Shen Zheng then realized that they were arguing because she and Xu Zhubu had not returned. She quickened her pace and wanted to go over to stop their quarrel.

As she approached, she recognized the voice of the person talking to them: it was Li Hongmao.

"The two adults are not as weak as you think. They must have been delayed by something on the way. This is normal. Besides, the carriage and horse shop is closed now. If they haven't returned tomorrow, we will go look for them together."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Xiu became even more excited and his voice became even louder.

"You are a woman, will you be responsible if something happens? Don't stop me! I want to go now!"

Then Li Hongmao let out a muffled groan.

Then Fang Ziyan angrily accused Zhao Xiu:

"You! Just say what you want to say. Why are you pushing my master?"

When Shen Zheng heard that they actually started fighting, she just trotted over in the last few steps!

Before she even stood still, she shouted, "I'm back!"

The small door suddenly became quiet, and the people who were arguing all looked over here.

Zhao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she and Xu Zhubu behind her were safe and sound.

Li Hongmao nodded to them and said, "It's good that you two adults are back. We are all worried about you."

When Zhao Xiu heard this, he sneered, but he didn't say what he wanted to say.

Seeing this, Fang Ziyan, the little firecracker, couldn't help himself and pointed his hand directly at Zhao Xiu's face.

"What do you mean! Is my master wrong?"

Li Hongmao stretched out his hand to press Fang Ziyan's hand down, and shook his head disapprovingly at him: "Don't be unreasonable."

Fang Ziyan felt that he was clearly defending his master, but his master said that he was unreasonable. He felt wronged and ran back to the room with a pout.

Li Hongmao sighed as he looked at his back, said hello to Shen Zheng, and followed him with Pei Zhaoqi.

Seeing that the master and disciple were still quarreling, Zhao Xiu and Xiao Yuan thought that the minds of these scholars were as complicated as ant holes.

Zhao Xiu walked up to Shen Zheng and asked, "Sir, what happened on the road?"

After he finished speaking, he looked Shen Zheng up and down again. Although she looked a little tired, her clothes were clean, so he felt relieved.

Seeing that Zhao Xiu looked worried, Shen Zheng didn't want to directly blame him for pushing Li Hongmao.

She just replied: "Nothing happened. I was just delayed for some time in Yonglu County yesterday, and stayed overnight in Liuyang Mansion last night."

She did not tell anyone about Wang Wu. If she had, given Zhao Xiu's temper, it was possible that he would have directly taken him to the Yonglu County Court.

It would be better not to say anything until she finds out who Magistrate Yonglu is.

Zhao Xiu nodded when he heard this, and only then did he notice that there was an old man and a child standing behind them.

Shen Zheng looked at his puzzled expression and introduced them, "These two are the craftsmen that Xu Zhubu and I invited from Liuyang Prefecture, Master Qiao and his apprentice Cheng Yu."

Craftsman?

Although Zhao Xiu didn't know why she asked the craftsmen to do something, he greeted Mr. Qiao and his friend in a friendly manner.

Then he asked, "You two masters and the two masters haven't eaten yet, right? Mr. Li asked the public kitchen to leave some food for you. I will heat it up for you and you can eat it."

These words really touched the hearts of several people. They were hungry on the road and had to eat a few snacks to fill their stomachs.

Although snacks are delicious, when people are really hungry, what they want most is hot meals.

Shen Zheng nodded repeatedly and sighed that Li Hongmao was really thoughtful and had taken all of this into consideration.

She thought again of the argument that several people had had over them just now, and began to feel a little worried.

We all live under the same roof and we'll see each other sooner or later. Today's matter needs to be properly resolved to avoid any resentment on both sides in the future.
