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

Although Xu Zhubu appeared calm on the surface, he had set up strict defenses in the yamen, preparing to lure the enemy into a trap.

Especially Shen Zheng's yard, he personally led people to guard it.

Sure enough, within three days, the person who was supposed to come showed up.

The other party was heading for Shen Zheng's dormitory, but the moment they entered the yard, they were hit by Zhao Xiu and his men.

Even though the people fainted, Xu Zhubu did not let them go.

He removed their jaws himself, tied them to the racks one by one, and waited for them to wake up.

After waking up, their reactions were as expected by Xu Zhubu.

A tough guy who knows nothing about anything.

Many people have been punished, but the people behind the scenes remain silent until today.

The further the interrogation went, the more upset Xu Zhubu became.

Although the other party did not explain anything, it just hinted at a piece of information - the person who wanted to harm you had a strong background. Because the bigger the family, the tighter the mouth.

"Haven't they found out yet?" Zhao Xiu held his breath and clenched his fists tightly, "Why not just kill them..."

If you don't want to speak, then never speak again!

Xu Zhubu pulled the reins and glanced at him sideways. "Have you ever killed anyone?"

Zhao Xiu was stunned, "No, no."

Xu Zhubu chuckled, "Then you probably can't do it."

The bland tone made Zhao Xiu feel extremely mocked.

His neck stiffened, "You haven't killed anyone, have you?"

I am still a warrior after all, but what about Xu Zhubu? He is just a scholar, why should I laugh at him?

"Although I have never killed anyone, I dare to do it." Xu Zhubu looked at the road ahead and urged the horse forward, "But these people cannot be killed. If we can't find out who they are, we will keep them until you come back."

Zhao Xiu said "Oh" and silently followed his pace.

......

The pier was bustling with activity.

Human-to-human transmission has occurred.

"The grain ship heading to the capital, that's Master Shen coming back!"

"Lord Shen has returned after robbing the canal transport ship!"

"Lord Shen robbed the Canal Transport Bureau and returned with Lord Wei!"

"Lord Shen has seized the Caoyun Bureau and brought Lord Wei back to take control of the camp!"

"Lord Shen is coming back with Lord Wei to get married, and the date will be set soon!"

"Master Shen is married!"

As soon as Zhao Xiu entered the dam, he scratched his ears and said, "What? The master went to the capital to get married? Why not get married in Tong'an County? Was he forced to get married by the emperor?"

The news spread like wildfire.

"Lord Shen did not marry voluntarily; it was ordered by the Emperor! This is unfair to Lord Shen! Folks, protect Lord Shen together!"

"Don't hurt the doctor!"

"What doctor?"

"My lord husband!"

"......enough!"

Two male voices sounded at the same time.

Xu Zhubu pushed through the crowd, walked onto the platform, and met Wei Que, who also had a gloomy face.

"I have met Mr. Wei."

Wei Que carried the bag that Shen Zheng had given him and gritted his teeth, "Master Shen is not here, and this is how Xu Zhubu teaches the people?"

And he married Shen Zheng?

If he dared to have such a desire, the emperor would immediately arrange ten marriages for him.

"I am a poor judge of my duties, please forgive me, sir." Xu Zhubu bowed to apologize, but there was no apology in his tone.

"...Forget it. You belong to Shen Zheng."

Wei Que threw the bundle to him and said, "This is the letter your master asked me to bring. It's for you. Divide it among yourselves."

Looking at the basin-sized package, Xu Zhubu's mouth curled up slightly, and this time he thanked sincerely: "Thank you, sir."

The handover was successful on this side, but the people on the periphery could no longer stand it.

"Where is our master? Why can't I see our master?"

"Did the master not come back this time? It's been more than two months..."

Zhao Xiu also curled his lips.

Xu Zhubu really guessed it right.

"Let's go, everyone." He said, "Your Excellency has something else to do in Shangjing, and will be back in a while."

When he said this, he himself was actually a little unsure.

Wang Guangjin and Wu Lizheng squeezed over and asked him in a low voice: "Captain Zhao, did the master say when he will be back?"

Zhao Xiu looked towards Wei Que.

......

The dock meeting house.

Wei Que sat at the top, and below him sat Xu Zhubu, Wang Guangjin, Zhao Xiu, and several village heads.

"Your master won't be able to come back in the next two or three months." Wei Que stated the facts.

"Ugh--"

Sighs came and went.

Zhao Xiu was like a frost-bitten eggplant, his head almost buried in his chest.

Xu Zhubu hesitated for a moment, "Master Wei, does our master have official business to attend to?"

Wei Que glanced at the bundle in his arms, "The letter should say... Never mind, I'll just say it directly. His Majesty wants to appoint Lady Shen as the assistant to the six ministries, and is currently trying to gild Lady Shen in various ways. This official estimates that if she is not appointed as the assistant to the six ministries, His Majesty will not let her return to Tongan County."

Everyone thought they were hallucinating.

Others were all trying to get promoted, but their masters were ordered to get promoted by His Majesty? His Majesty even... did everything he could to help them get promoted?

On second thought, it does make sense.

To put it bluntly - even if the adultery told them one day that she wanted to be the empress, they would agree wholeheartedly and push the adultery to the throne.

It’s worth it, sir!

but......

"Sir Wei, what kind of official is the Assistant Director of the Six Ministries?" Zhao Xiu asked.

"He is an official who can manage the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Works. He is a fourth-rank official with real power. All officials in the court jokingly call him 'little prime minister'."

"hiss--"

"His-"

"Hiss-"

The sound of gasping came and went.

Fourth rank!

Able to manage six ministries!

It can even be compared with the "Prime Minister"!

You can tell with your toes how powerful these “Six Assistant Managers” are!

"If I remember correctly... the prefect is a fifth-rank official..."

Someone said this and the others' eyes widened even further.

Only Xu Zhubu still had some rationality left, and warned seriously: "Your Excellency is still in the capital to do your work, and the promotion documents have not yet been implemented. Once you leave this door, you must not tell anyone about this, so as not to harm your Excellency."

Wei Que nodded, "That's right. Many people in the court are watching her. Don't lose your temper and hinder her."

Everyone nodded, their lips tightly closed.

Wei Que explained his purpose and asked Wang Guang to go on board and watch the unloading.

Several village heads also volunteered to help.

Soon, only Wei Que, Xu Zhubu and Zhao Xiu were left in the room.

Wei Que picked up the fan on the wall and fanned himself, "Ask if you want to."

Xu Zhubu stood up and was silent for a while, as if he was thinking.

"Master Wei, is she okay in Shangjing? Was she really not injured in the assassination? Your Majesty, can you take the assassination seriously and investigate the murderer? Are there any officials in the capital who are targeting her maliciously? Is there anyone by your side to protect your safety? Is the money you brought enough? Do you need..."

“Stop stop stop stop stop.”

Wei Que held the fan horizontally between the two of them, "Come one by one."
