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

After entering the yamen, Ba Lezhan stood there, looking at Shen Zheng in the pavilion from a distance.

The female county magistrate had a calm and clear gaze, and her fingertips slowly stroked the rim of the teacup in her hand. She exuded an extraordinary aura just by sitting there.

No wonder no wonder.

At this moment, his emotions were extremely complicated.

When the chief constable from Tongan County came out just now, he felt something was wrong.

Without instructions from higher-ups, the people in the county government and the county residents would never dare to act so rampantly.

They dare to openly disrespect a county magistrate. Are they really tired of living?

But he thought that Magistrate Shen of Tongan County would at least be roundabout with him, or pretend to come out from the backyard and say a few nice words to him.

For example, she failed to discipline her children properly and let her subordinates bump into him.

That way, at least the two of them could appear to be at peace with each other and talk things over in a friendly manner.

But who would have thought that not only did she not come to meet him, but she just sat there in the pavilion.

Balezhan felt his legs were a little heavy. Should he go forward on his own?

"Ba County Magistrate? But what's wrong with that?"

Just as he was hesitating, Zhao Xiu, who was leading the way in front, called him.

Bale Zhan suddenly felt that he had a way out. He shook his head slightly at Zhao Xiu and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Xiu turned around and continued to lead the way, and secretly exchanged glances with Shen Zheng in the pavilion. At this moment, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Today, the prestige of this Quanyang County man has been almost destroyed by his master.

When Zhao Xiu led the people from Quanyang County closer, Shen Zheng seemed to see who they were. She stood up in surprise and asked in confusion:

"Who is this lord?"

Zhao Xiu replied in cooperation: "My Lord, this is the Magistrate of Ba County in Quanyang County."

Shen Zheng's face was first filled with surprise, and then she was annoyed: "It turned out to be Lord Ba from Quanyang County. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

She never mentioned what happened before, as if the tit-for-tat situation between the two sides just now was a nightmare that belonged only to him, the people of Quanyang County.

What could Balechan say? Ask her why she told her men not to let them in?

Or why didn't she stop them when both sides were about to fight?

Now that he was standing in the Tongan County Court, no matter what he said, he could never get back the face he had lost!

He might as well just pretend to be confused like the person in front of him!

Balezhan used all his strength to force a stiff smile.

"I have the audacity to come to your house today because I have something important to discuss with you, Lord Shen."

"What's the matter?"

Shen Zheng asked directly without any hesitation.

Balezhan's expression froze again.

This is totally unconventional! How can we talk when everyone is still standing?!

But the person in front of him had no intention of asking him to sit down, so he had to speak up himself: "This matter concerns the livelihood of our two counties. County Magistrate Shen, can you sit down and discuss it in detail with me?"

After saying that, he pinched his thigh and secretly comforted himself in his heart: Everything is for promotion!

Shen Zheng sneered in her heart. We are two counties. If you want to covet things from Tongan County, just say so. Who would follow you two?

She turned her head and looked inside the pavilion, then said to Fang Ziyan, "There are no stools left. Ziyan, go get one for Magistrate Ba."

Only then did Balezhan notice the young man standing next to her. When he looked closely at the young man's face, the shock in his heart was written directly on his face.

"Fang Ziyan?!"

He couldn't help but call out.

How could the youngest son of the Fang family, the richest family in Quanyang County, be here? It seems that he is very close to County Magistrate Shen!

Fang Ziyan also imitated Shen Zheng's behavior just now, turned around and said: "Uncle County Magistrate, Ziyan didn't see you just now."

After he said that, he didn't dare to look up at Balezhan's expression. It was really difficult for an honest child to lie to his face.

Ba Lezhan laughed dryly: "It's okay, uncle didn't see you just now."

Even though he could tell at once that Fang Ziyan was lying, how could he argue with a child, especially the son of the richest man in Quanyang County?

Fang Ziyan smiled at him when he heard this: "Then Ziyan, go get a stool for the county magistrate."

After Fang Ziyan left, Balezhan looked at his back in a daze.

He didn't understand why Fang Ziyan appeared in the Tongan County Government Office.

But what he was sure of was that this person must have been sent by Fang Hengyuan. Otherwise, with his love for his son, how could he let his beloved son be alone in the Tongan County Government Office?

He couldn't help but look at Shen Zheng who was making tea with her head down.

The magistrate of Tongan County is truly no simple person. I'm afraid his trip today will not be smooth.

Fang Ziyan arrived at Shen Zheng's study and felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the two bamboo chairs.

The style and bamboo of the chair in the main seat are relatively new, and it can be seen that it was made in recent months. As for the other chair...it is covered with patina.

He looked back and forth between the two chairs, and after a moment he made a decision.

The new chair was usually occupied by Lord Shen, and he was somewhat reluctant to give it to that person.

So...just take the one with the coating!

After making the decision, Fang Ziyan acted quickly, picked up the patinated chair and trotted to the front yard.

"Uncle County Magistrate, please sit down."

Balezhan looked at the patinated chair that Fang Ziyan had put down, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

It was obvious that County Magistrate Shen was sitting on a royal chair, and the tea leaves and tea sets placed on the stone table in front of them were also rare items.

But when it comes to him, there is only a patinated chair?

No matter how angry Balezhan was, he had no choice but to lift up his robe and sit down.

What else can I do if I don't sit down? Should I really stand and talk to this woman?

Shen Zheng didn't expect Fang Ziyan to bring out the simplest stool in the study.

Seeing that Balezhan dared not speak out but was angry, she thought that she could not completely ignore his face. After all, the two counties were adjacent, and she was also thinking about making a fortune in the autumn harvest.

This really offends people, and it will be difficult for me to make money in the future.

After thinking about it, she took out a teacup from the tea tray, poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Balezhan opposite her.

"Magister Ba, have some tea."

A strange feeling arose in Balezhan's heart, and he immediately shook his head.

How could this inexplicable feeling of being flattered be so surprising!

He thought he would not be able to have any tea on the table, but he didn't expect that there would still be a share for him.

After working so hard today, he was really thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.

“Good tea!”

Shen Zheng chuckled and asked, "I wonder why Magistrate Ba came to Tong'an County today?"

Upon hearing this, Balezhan looked around. This matter was of great importance, so he initially wanted to just talk to Shen Zheng and the others.

But now the Tongan County Government Office was as bustling as a vegetable market, and standing next to them were the young man from the Fang family and several constables.

He knew that he could not order the people of Tongan County, so he could only give Shao Mingyi a wink.

Shao Mingyi nodded immediately and took a few steps back with his detectives.

Seeing his actions, Shen Zheng turned to look at Zhao Xiu and Fang Ziyan and asked, "Do you want to stay and listen?"
