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

Meeting the Yulin Guards' curious gaze, Shen Zheng suppressed a smile and said, "Go buy some dog... no, goose droppings, they stink even more. After you buy them, wipe them on Lan Qiyi's bed in the middle of the night when no one is around."

The Yulin Guards' eyes suddenly widened, unable to contain the shock in their eyes.

What a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and shit for shit!

"Sir, this is not good..."

He can report it to the police, but smearing shit... is too much.

"You can't get into General Yunhui's mansion?" After thinking about it, Shen Zheng understood. "Yes, the general's mansion is well-defended. It's normal that you can't get in. This method won't work. Wait for me to think of something..."

When their abilities were questioned, the Imperial Guards immediately retorted, "Sir, we Imperial Guards can enter and exit official residences as if we were in an empty place. We can go wherever we want!"

Back when the Yulin Guard was first established, they sent spies into officials’ residences many times, but none of them were caught in the act.

The reason is not because of their good physical skills or powerful martial arts, but... the Yulin Army has the defense maps of most officials' residences, and they know exactly when and where people are in the residence.

Shen Zheng succeeded in her provocation and was about to speak when Yu Shizhang walked in from outside.

"You're in the mansion!" Yu Shizhang was slightly surprised to see her. He took two steps forward and said, "I heard from the Fifth Old Thief that the boat from our county has arrived, and there's a young man following it. Who is it?"

"What do you think?"

Shen Zheng nodded towards the Yulin Guards, silently said "goose shit", and walked into the mansion with Yu Shizhang.

"There are so many young men in the county, how can I guess?" He said he would not guess, and then he started to guess again: "Wang Guangjin? He came back from Ximi Prefecture? No, not so soon. That is..."

As he thought about it, he glared slightly and asked tentatively: "Xiao Yuan?"

"Hey—" Shen Zheng responded, "You see, it's actually not that hard to guess."

Yu Shizhang rubbed his hands and quickened his pace. "Don't mention it, I really miss this kid. Before, when we were in the yamen, besides Ziyan, he was the most noisy."

The two of them walked towards Zhenliu Courtyard together. When they were halfway there, Yu Shizhang suddenly said, "There's something funny. Did you hear it today?"

Funny thing?

Shen Zheng paused and shook her head. "No, I went to the dam after I brought Xiao Yuan back home. What's the matter?"

"Then you're really missing out on a lot of fun." Yu Shizhang leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "It's spread all over the capital. The gate of the Jiadebo Mansion... was smeared with dog shit. It stinks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he burst into laughter. "I don't know who he offended, but to have shit smeared on the doorstep of his mansion, what a deep hatred this must have! Fortunately, I don't have much contact with him. I usually wish him bad luck, otherwise, when I go to his mansion, I would be disgusted by the sight of that gate..."

It was a long time after the words fell, but Shen Zheng still did not respond.

He turned around in confusion and asked, "Why aren't you laughing? Isn't this funny? The unlucky one is Gadbert!"

"...I can't laugh." Shen Zheng pulled up the corners of her mouth stiffly and looked at his toes, "Because the unlucky people...are not just Gadbert."

"What do you mean?" Yu Shizhang looked down at his feet. After a moment, he raised his head stiffly, "You mean..."

Shen Zheng nodded. "You've already stepped on the steps to wipe the shit. But don't be disgusted for too long. The doorman washed it very clean with hot water, so it doesn't stink."

Yu Shizhang's face suddenly changed. He scolded Lan Qiyi all the way, but while scolding, he did not forget to praise Shen Zheng.

"It's a good thing you went to Jingzhao Prefecture that day and threw dirty water on Jiadebo. Otherwise, it might be our family that was smeared with shit today..."

The corners of Shen Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.

A dead Taoist friend is better than a poor Taoist.

......

The day of reunion is always filled with joy.

Zhenliu Courtyard was filled with laughter and was extremely lively. When Yu Jiusi and his sister arrived with Liang Fu and Shen Xingjian, the atmosphere became even more tense, almost blowing the roof off.

The kitchen started preparing dinner early, with dishes from all over the country. The banquet started at 10:00 p.m. to welcome Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was sitting next to Shen Zheng. He had never seen such a scene before, and his hand holding the cup was shaking with excitement.

"I, I'll toast to everyone. Everything I want to say is in the wine!"

The wine flowed and before they knew it, it was midnight. Xiao Yuan and Old Qiao were already drunk to the point of being dizzy, but they kept on toasting each other.

At the end of the drinking, the two hugged each other and cried, wiping their snot on each other's shoulders.

"..."

Yu Shizhang felt a little uncomfortable on the soles of his shoes, so he left the table first. After Shen Zheng sent him out of the house, he went straight back to Ziyiju.

The lights in Ziyiju were bright, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the little night insects tried their best to hit the lampshade, but to no avail.

Huaduo, Peiyu and others were reading in the corridor. When they saw her come back, they put down their books and came to greet her.

Shen Zheng glanced at the main hall and asked, "Where's the package we brought back today?"

"My Lord, it's in the small storeroom." Mu Qing rolled up her sleeves, took two steps forward, and said, "My Lord, would you like me to clean up the ashes first?"

"No need." Shen Zheng shook her head and prepared to go back to her room to get the key. She added, "Mu Qing, go to Zhenliu Courtyard and tell Nan Shu and the others that I can't go over there because I have something else to do. Also, if they drink too late, they can just stay at the mansion. There's no need to try to avoid suspicion."

If Yu Jiusi and Shen Xingjian had families, she would definitely not dare to say this, but it's a pity that these two seem to be slow to open their minds. They have been back in Beijing for so long and there has been no movement.

Mu Qing took the order and left. Pei Yu followed her happily, saying that she would go with her.

After Shen Zheng returned to her room to get the key, she changed her clothes and went into the small warehouse. She turned on the wall lamp, and the darkness receded like a tide, revealing the entire small warehouse.

On the left side of the warehouse, there are several rows of elm shelves. There are not many things on them, only cloth, jewelry and ornaments awarded by the emperor before.

On the right side of the warehouse were the housewarming gifts that Yu Shizhang had sent earlier, neatly arranged in boxes and pieces by Mu Qing.

Shen Zheng knew that expensive gifts were hard currency among the powerful people in the capital.

Yu Shizhang sent these housewarming gifts to actually give her some support - he was worried that she would be laughed at if she used her original stock as gifts, so he sent these to her specifically as a precaution.

After a moment, she regained her composure, walked slowly to the center of the warehouse, and looked around.

There were four large packages and a letter box coming from Tongan County.

According to Xiao Yuan, the package tied with a red rope in the middle contained gifts sent by the people before leaving, most of which were pickled foods.

The package tied with a green rope on the left side is a collection of small gadgets that the Tongan Chamber of Commerce has collected on a daily basis, which they use to entertain her and relieve her boredom.

The package tied with a yellow rope on the right was sent jointly by the county school, printing house, and cloth shop. She guessed that it contained students' works and ready-made clothes. This package was the largest, so it must have been for Yu Shizhang and others.

The package tied with a white rope at the end is the gift from everyone in the county government office.
