The man couldn't control him and his son, so now he set his sights on his grandson who was not even an adult yet.

They are so shameless. Do they think no one in this world can control them?

The image of Song Jinshu naturally appeared in Mr. Liu's mind, and he just hoped that he was not mistaken about him.

If she could get up in the future, he wouldn't have to hide in Jingyang County in fear to avoid being seen.

Song Jinshu, who was catching up on his sleep in the backyard of the county government office, had no idea that he was being watched by several groups of people.

She went out and inevitably caught a cold. Although she didn't have a fever when she came back, she felt a little dizzy.

So after taking a bowl of medicine, I lay down and went to sleep.

Even if the sky falls, don't think of affecting her recovery.

Amid the sound of rain, Song Jinshu gradually fell asleep.

For several days in a row, the rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, but it never stopped.

Song Jinshu's illness has greatly improved. She came to the front hall, ready to see if there was any official business that needed to be handled.

Apart from the complete collapse of the river dam, there has been almost no major incident in Jingyang County in the past few days.

Because the canal dug earlier was put to good use, the people's doubts completely disappeared, and they were full of gratitude and admiration for Song Jinshu.

Villagers who lived nearby would often send eggs or game to the county government office as food.

Song Jinshu simply gave money to people to buy it, and he could also make some money for the villagers.

Nowadays, the people of Jingyang County can't remember any of the bad things she did in the past, and their unified statement to the outside world is that they have a good county magistrate in Jingyang County.

Song Jinshu came to the county government office, where a familiar figure was sitting.

She smiled and greeted him, "County Magistrate Lu, are you back to work again?"

As for Lu Ruoyu's mysterious love for work, this was the first time she met such a person.

But she likes it. Who wouldn't like to have such a capable subordinate?

"My Lord, are you here? I have something to report to you. The magistrate of the neighboring Dafang County has sent a letter asking for help. Take a look at this envelope..."

"Oh? Let me see!" Song Jinshu asked in surprise.

After reading it quickly, Song Jinshu pursed his lips and frowned, saying, "The dam in Dafang County was damaged the other day, and many villages were affected. Is he writing to borrow grain from us?"

"That shouldn't be the case! Our Jingyang County is known to be very poor. Even beggars who are about to commit crimes are unwilling to come here. Why would he send us a letter for help?"

Could it be that they saw the food that Lu Chuan brought back for them?

Song Jinshu couldn't figure out the reason, so he looked at Lu Ruoyu, wanting to know the answer from him.

Lu Ruoyu nodded and gave a sarcastic smile: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Your Excellency is unaware that a major event happened in Dafang County not long ago."

The previous county magistrate was caught illegally accepting bribes by the imperial court and his property was confiscated and he was executed on the spot. The person who wrote this letter could not possibly be the magistrate of Dafang County."

After all, no matter how efficient the imperial court was, it was impossible for it to appoint a new county magistrate in less than half a month.

He guessed that there must be something fishy going on!

Song Jinshu was shocked. When did this happen?

She quickly calculated the time. Logically, the magistrate of Dafang County should have died after her!

Could it be that because she turned over a new leaf, the retribution came to the magistrate of Dafang County early?

"But this letter does have a government seal on it. Who could have written this to plot against me?"

Moreover, this person must be very stupid. Not to mention whether she has food or not, considering the current development of Jingyang County, she would not sell the food outside even if she had it!

Now, because of her previous restrictions, every household in Jingyang County has some food stored.

But she knew that there would be famine here in her previous life, and these grains would be the people's lifeline at that time.

There was no way she could lend out the food.

Lu Ruoyu thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Song Jinshu, pursed her lips, not knowing whether to say it.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Just say it!"

Song Jinshu's scalp tingled when she saw him looking at her. At this time in her previous life, she would have been thrown into jail.

Although she has changed a lot and the money is hidden safely, who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes?

Lu Ruoyu looked at her nervous expression, feeling a little amused and sighed, "This matter may be related to the adults."

"What...what! It's related to me? But I have no correspondence with Dafang County, so what happens to him has nothing to do with me!"

It's impossible that the disaster in Dafang County can be blamed on her!

Lu Ruoyu glanced at Song Jinshu thoughtfully and said calmly, "Sir, you really don't remember?"

"I don't remember! I don't remember anything! Dafang County has nothing to do with me!"

Even if you want to kill her or cut her into pieces, it’s not her turn! Humph!

"I remember when you first arrived in Jingyang County, gentry from all over the country came to congratulate you. Did you hide anything privately..."

"County Magistrate Lu, you...!" Song Jinshu's scalp was really numb at this moment, and his hands and feet were weak. He knew everything!

"Don't be afraid, sir. I have no other intentions. Moreover, these gifts come from legitimate sources. As long as you don't abuse your power for personal gain, you'll be fine."

Song Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that before she came, the original owner had been Mr. Li San's protector, helping him do some ridiculous things.

Now that Mr. Li San has been brought to justice, she no longer has any evidence against him.

"Then tell me, what does Dafang County have to do with me?"

"Dafang County is indeed unrelated to you, sir, but the intentions of the person behind this are closely related to you, sir. What's more, if he succeeds, you may not be able to avoid the suffering of imprisonment."

"This..." Song Jinshu clasped his hands nervously and asked humbly, "Court Magistrate Lu, please explain."

Lu Ruoyu raised her hand and waved it: "I dare not! But as you know, our treasury is now empty, and the emperor is often worried about finances. Therefore, I don't know who got the idea, but he organized a... um... team.

These people usually like to arrest corrupt officials who accept bribes. Every time they raid their homes, the national treasury is enriched. With your abilities and your outstanding means of making money, I'm afraid you have been targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Given the precedent of people getting promoted by reporting colleagues, I dare to speculate that the person behind this is definitely trying to expose you, and then…"

Song Jinshu gritted his teeth and continued, "And then you stepped on me to get to the top?"

Lu Ruoyu agreed.

Song Jinshu could no longer suppress his anger and cursed, "These bastards, why would they frame your grandmother when there are so many people they can harm? I ***..."

After a round of "green plants" output, Song Jinshu felt a little better.

"Do you know who wants to harm me?"

Hearing Song Jinshu's question, Lu Ruoyu paused. This...

"Have you made enemies with anyone recently? This person must have some connection with Dafang County."

Song Jinshu was stunned for a moment, and she frantically recalled what she had done.

Um...how should I put it...she has a lot of enemies...
