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

West Market Street.

The place was packed with people.

The common people stood on both sides of the street, staring intently at the street corner. Shen Zheng's carriage stopped in the corner, waiting with the common people for the parade that was about to arrive.

Today, the people's words are no longer radical, but they just picked up what Shen Zheng said that day without any changes.

"The emperor is doing this for our own good. We can scold and beat up this high and mighty official as we like today. Even if we don't get any money, we can still vent our anger."

"Yes, I couldn't sleep at night these past few days, and I was thinking... You said that the epidemic in Xingning Prefecture was smallpox, right? But why didn't many people die?"

"You are such a heartless person, you are still hoping for someone's death? Where did you get this from?"

"That's not what I meant!" Seeing that he was about to be attacked by everyone, the man hurriedly said, "Don't you know how scary smallpox is? It's a big plague that kills people! Even if it happened in our Shangjing City, I guess even the imperial palace would be affected... So why do you think Xingning Prefecture didn't have any major problems? I heard..."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Zheng heard Li Shiyuan's name.

The man said, "It was a doctor under Lord Shen of Tong'an County who saved the people of Xingning Prefecture! I also heard that Doctor Li developed something called 'cowpox vaccine'. As long as we get the 'vaccine', we won't be afraid of smallpox in the future..."

Shen Zheng lifted the car curtain and looked for a while, but she felt something was wrong.

Until Hua Duo said: "Master, there are quite a few people in the crowd who are actively spreading the story of Doctor Li, and their words are unified and their direction is clear."

Shen Zheng understood immediately.

"Did they all mention the smallpox vaccine?"

Hua Duo nodded, "After the words were laid out, it was all mentioned."

Shen Zheng laughed, "Your Majesty's handwriting."

After thinking about it, she asked Huaduo: "Huaduo, nowadays, smallpox basically only breaks out once every few decades or even hundreds of years. If cowpox can prevent smallpox, but vaccination will be dangerous, are you still willing to get vaccinated against cowpox for the next plague that may come in an unknown time?"

In Shen Zheng's memory, smallpox is a highly prevalent disease worldwide. If people do not get vaccinated, smallpox can come back at any time.

In the past, the frequency of the outbreak might have been once a hundred years, but in the future, it might happen every year.

The tragic situations of "an entire village wiped out" and "nine out of ten houses empty" are not only found in history books.

Hua Duo thought for a while and asked, "Master, do you want me to be vaccinated?"

Shen Zheng was slightly stunned, "What if you don't consider my idea?"

Hua Duo looked conflicted, and after a while he said, "I can't help but consider it. I am the master's man. If the master tells me to plant, I will plant. If the master doesn't allow me to plant, I won't plant."

She thought for a moment and then added, "But Doctor Li is also the master's man, so I think I should do it."

Shen Zheng suddenly didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the noise outside suddenly became louder, and the entire Xishikou was like a pot of boiling water, bubbling out.

"Here they come, the parade is here!"

"Stinky eggs, are you ready, stinky eggs?"

"You have to throw it accurately, don't hit the official!"

Shen Zheng lifted the curtain and looked over.

As the sun rises, a young general in silver armor and a red tassel sits on a black horse. The armor shines coldly in the sunlight, making people dare not look directly at it.

The convoy moved forward slowly, the young general was getting closer and closer to the crowd, and the team behind him became clearer and clearer.

The wooden prison van was extremely dirty, with sticky egg liquid, rotten vegetable leaves, and even some unknown thin water hanging on it.

Today is the first time Shen Zheng meets Lu Sichu, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will also be the last time.

He was leaning against the prison van, his hair disheveled, his prison uniform stained with blood, and his face was unrecognizable.

Faced with the people's obvious malice, he not only did not hide, but also pulled the corner of his mouth with interest, which was quite ironic.

The people were furious, and along with words like "corrupt officials" and "go to hell", there were also sewage, saliva, and feces.

Amid the constant shouting and cursing, the prison van never stopped. After a while, the people chased after the van, leaving only dirt on the ground.

......

execution ground.

The execution platform had just been washed by water, and the blue-gray stone slabs shone coldly and hard in the sunlight.

Lu Sichu was dragged roughly onto the execution platform by officers and soldiers. His whole body was as soft as mud, but his eyes were fixed on the execution platform, staring at Yu Jiusi who was sitting on it.

"Yu Jiusi..." He laughed from his throat, as unpleasant as fingernails scraping across a bronze mirror. Before he could finish the rest of his words, his head was pressed onto the execution platform.

Yu Jiusi played with the death card and slowly walked towards the execution platform.

He did not lower his head, but lowered his eyes and asked: "Any last words?"

"Last words..." Lu Sichu suddenly struggled to turn his head, narrowing his eyes and looking at the execution platform. "Where is Shen Zheng? She has to come, right? Rather than saying that I was tricked by you, Yu Jiusi, it is better to say that Shen Zheng is the real chess player. Without her, who are you, Yu Jiusi?"

After he said those provocative words, the other party was not as angry as he had imagined.

"You are worthy of mentioning her?" Yu Jiusi squatted down and grabbed his hair. "Don't worry about the affairs of the living. What you should consider is how to face those innocent dead souls after you go down. Even if you are torn to pieces, it will not be enough to comfort their souls in heaven."

Lu Sichu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I am concerned about you, hahaha. Shen Zheng was assassinated on the way to Beijing, right? You have been tracking down the real murderer... It was clearly an assassination plan full of loopholes, but you couldn't find the person no matter how hard you tried. Yu Jiusi, have you ever thought about... who suppressed the news?"

Yu Jiusi's expression turned cold and he stared at Lu Sichu's eyes.

After a moment, he also laughed, and then let go in disgust.

Lu Sichu’s head slammed heavily back onto the execution platform.

"Boom-"

"pat-"

Something fell from Yu Jiusi's hand.

The people watching the execution became even more excited and shouted in unison: "Behead him! Behead him!"

The death card lay quietly on the ground, and Yu Jiusi wiped his hands.

"Execution!"

“Yu Jiusi!” Lu Sichu struggled violently, lying prone in an extremely strange posture. “Don’t you want to know who it is? Aren’t you afraid that she really died in…”

The gate knife fell without any warning.

The words that Lu Sichu hadn't spoken were ruthlessly cut off at his throat.

Blood flowed like a pillar, heads rolled down, and the weeds beside the stage were stained with blood.

The people's shouts suddenly stopped, and it was a long time after the gasps that there was an overwhelming cheer.

In the crowd, Shen Zheng nodded to Yu Jiusi, then turned and left with Hua Duo.

Before they reached the carriage, they were blocked by someone.

"Sir Shen." The other person was dressed like a scholar, wearing a brocade robe, but his words revealed his identity: "My master, please get in the car and have a chat with me, Sir Shen."
