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

As they talked, the two walked into the mansion.

Hua Duo agreed to teach Shen Zheng how to ride a horse. After sending Shen Zheng back to Ziyi Residence, she walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the stable.

Jiang Sheng couldn't sleep, so he thought of going to the stable to see if the horses were too hot. As soon as he walked over, he saw a sneaky figure.

"Stand there and don't move!"

He grabbed the broom used to sweep horse manure and threw it directly at the other party, but unfortunately the force was not enough and the broom died in mid-air.

"Manager Jiang?" Hua Duo turned around, still holding a few horse hairs in his hand.

"Guardian Hua?!" Jiang Sheng rubbed his eyes and stepped forward, "Is it really you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the horse manure didn't fall on you, did it? I thought there was a thief in the mansion..."

"Horse manure?" Hua Duo raised his sleeve and sniffed it, then shook his head. "It doesn't seem like there's any. Why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?"

Jiang Sheng thought to himself, you are still blaming me. If I hadn’t rested, would I have met you here?

He laughed and scratched his head. "I couldn't sleep, so I came to check on the horses. Guard Hua, what are you doing...?"

The maroon horsehair in Huaduo's hand was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"My Lord, you want to learn horse riding. I'll choose the horse." Hua Duo's eyes slid over the horses. "Manager Jiang, you should be familiar with these horses. Which one has the best temperament?"

Jiang Sheng was immediately excited when he heard this. "Sir, do you want to learn horse riding?"

He walked over to a pure black horse, stroked its neck, and said, "It's called Dahong. It's friendly to whoever gives it food. It's very docile and has never lost its temper with anyone. But there's one thing about it: it doesn't like horses. If other horses smell it, it gets angry."

"Big... big red?" Hua Duo looked at the horse that lived in the "single room" and picked up the lamp on the ground and shone it. "It's black."

"It likes red." Jiang Sheng patted the big red neck like an old father, and pulled out his red inner clothes.

Sure enough, Dahong became excited when he saw his bright red inner coat, and kept rubbing its head against him.

"..."

Hua Duo looked away slightly, "It seems a little... perverted."

"Dahong, don't listen!" Jiang Sheng immediately covered Dahong's ears and whispered, "Bad sister, you're talking nonsense. We won't listen. We won't listen."

"..."

Hua Duo endured the discomfort and turned to leave.

"Hey—" Jiang Sheng took two steps after him. "Guardian Hua, are you dissatisfied with Dahong? Let me tell you..."

"I'm not dissatisfied." Hua Duo looked ahead and walked around Jiang Sheng. "It's just that horses understand human nature. I'd like to ask Manager Jiang to pick out a few docile horses first, and then we can choose when you're free."

After Hua Duo left, Jiang Sheng didn't mind the dirt and sat down next to the stable.

Dahong snorted, lowered her head and nudged him gently with the tip of her nose.

"I know, I know. I'll leave now."

He propped himself up and stood up, adding a handful of hay to Dahong's meal. Dahong ate it with relish. He then said, "When the master comes to choose horses, you must behave well. If you are lucky enough to become his mount, you will be very successful in the future. You will have all the red cloth you want, and you won't have to rub against my underwear every day."

......

Shen Zheng decided to go to the Ministry of Revenue at noon tomorrow to ask about Qiu Yingmu's case first, and then ask Ji Benchang to help connect her so that she can have a word with the Minister of Justice Luo Bizhi.

According to regulations, the files of the Ministry of Justice cannot be reviewed at will. If officials need to review them, they must produce official documents.

But rules are dead and people are alive.

The corruption case that year was handled by Ji Benchang, who could be considered half the chief judge. What Shen Zheng wanted to do was not to "review the files" but to "take a look at the files in the company of the chief judge."

No verification, no checking, no suspicion, just watch.

And she doesn’t go empty-handed.

It's very impolite to come to someone's house empty-handed.

As the bright moon hung high in the sky, she locked herself in the room, choosing a gift for Luo Bizhi tomorrow.

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of criminal justice, and its responsibilities run through the judicial process including lawmaking and case trials.

The books that are "must-have on the desks" of criminal officials throughout the ages, apart from the laws of each dynasty, are the "crime-solving series".

There are not many books of this kind. The Tongan County Government also has a copy, which includes "Study of Murder Evidence" to assist in homicide investigation and physical evidence identification, and "Essential Techniques for Catching Murderers" to assist in deducing the case process.

Shen Zheng read these books when she was bored.

It cannot be said to be bad, but the investigation, deduction and other processes described in the book are too dependent on the experience of the criminal officer.

In other words, experienced criminal judges and coroners can see the clues at a glance, while inexperienced criminal judges cannot find any clues even if they investigate the case according to the book.

But how can anyone solve cases every day? Everything has a process from nothing to something.

In order to correct the unjust cases in the world, for the government offices in various places, and for his own promotion, Shen Zheng decided to exchange two criminal investigation books from the system and give them to the Ministry of Justice.

The bright blue light reflected on her face. She flipped through the books on the system and finally chose two books.

——"Technical Analysis of Causes of Death" allows coroners to perform autopsies based more on standards rather than "experience."

——"Criminal Psychology and Case Tracing", by profiling the murderer's behavioral logic, deducing his motives and reconstructing the crime scene.

Both books have been systematically improved to suit the social conditions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it's a pity for her that she has to suffer again.

It was definitely impossible to copy two thick books in one night, so Shen Zheng randomly picked out some content to use as a "stepping stone" for tomorrow.

......

She went to bed at midnight and got up at dawn. Shen Zheng felt her legs were a little light.

As soon as I opened the door, a bowl of refreshing soup was greeted by me.

Peiyu held the soup and looked at the dark circles under her eyes with concern. "My Lord, you turned off the lights at midnight last night, and you're up again now..."

Shen Zheng took the soup, drank it in one gulp, and laughed at her: "You girl, why are you not sleeping at night and staring at my room all the time?"

Pei Yu pouted and took back the bowl. "Seeing that you have lost weight, no one in the mansion will dare to see the people of Tongan County from now on."

Shen Zheng said she was worrying for nothing, wiped her mouth, and went to the big tank to look at the frogs.

The bullfrogs in the tank were huddled together, their throats slightly bulging, but they were not roaring like they did at night. When the two men approached, they made some noises, which startled them and made them kick their legs in the water.

"Pei Yu, do you want to eat big toad?" Shen Zheng asked.

Pei Yu swallowed her saliva and said honestly: "I want to..."

When she was a child, she secretly ate roasted toads, which were so delicious...

Having found like-minded people, Shen Zheng immediately made the decision: "Tell the kitchen to prepare sour ginger, sour water, dogwood, onions, garlic, rice wine, perilla, yellow rice wine, aged vinegar, and bone soup. We'll have giant toad tonight. Oh, and ask Jiang Sheng if he can get some sesame oil."

Pei Yu's mind couldn't keep up with her words, so she quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen, "Master, please say it again..."

Seeing her like this, Shen Zheng was slightly surprised: "You can write all these words?"

That shouldn’t be the case. Some characters are very complex and not commonly used.

Peiyu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "If you can't write, I can draw..."

After Pei Yu wrote down the ingredients, Shen Zheng returned to her room to retrieve the two books she had exchanged last night, and went to Zhenliuyuan to look for Li Shiyuan.
