Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 117 The Imperial Court Arrives
Shi Zhubu looked at Song Jinshu in shock, his hand trembling as he pointed at her and asked, "You! What do you want to do?"
"Although I am only a small clerk, I am well-known to Lord Wang. Lord Song wants to detain me, but aren't you afraid of offending Lord Wang?"
In Shi Zhubu's mind, Song Jinshu is a bully who only cares about the strong and the weak. First, she has no reliable background, and second, she doesn't have the brains.
Seeing Shi Zhubu's terrified expression, Song Jinshu frowned in confusion, "Shi Zhubu, what do you mean by that? Why did I detain you? The plague is raging in Dafang County right now, and I've already sealed off all the roads leading out of Dafang County."
Now you can only enter Dafang County but not leave. Since you are here, Master Shi, please stay! You can only leave when the plague in Dafang County is over! "
"What!" Shi Zhubu was furious. He came to Dafang County reluctantly in the first place, and now he was told that he couldn't go back?
"This... Lord Song, you can't do this! You're illegally imprisoning me. Aren't you afraid that Lord Wang will report you?"
Although he was unsure, Shi Zhubu couldn't help but threaten him, but Song Jinshu looked at him like a fool.
"Master Shi, there is a plague all over Dafang County right now. If I let you go, and you get sick and spread the disease to the people of Guangrao County, wouldn't that be my fault?
So you stay here, and I will let you go after the epidemic is over!"
Shi Zhubu wanted to continue arguing, but Song Jinshu waved his hand, and Wang Er immediately sent someone to carry Shi Zhubu to the isolation room.
This was the scene Lu Ruoyu saw when she came over.
"Would Magistrate Wang of Guangrao County actually send us food? That's surprising."
Song Jinshu turned around and saw that it was Lu Ruoyu. He was a little surprised and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early!"
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up."
Lu Ruoyu came forward, walked around the grain cart sent by Shi Zhubu, and then rummaged through the grain in his pocket.
"It's Chen Mi."
"I guessed it!" Song Jinshu was not surprised. She was already surprised that this Lord Wang, whom she had never met, sent them food.
Even if it is giving Chen rice, it is out of kindness.
Lu Ruoyu glanced at Song Jinshu lightly and asked calmly, "Sir, aren't you curious about his intention in sending the food?"
"Curious! Why not? Isn't this something I can't figure out?"
Song Jinshu just tried to use the know-it-all, but found that he could only eavesdrop on the discussions in the court.
She couldn't hear a word of what was said elsewhere.
Song Jinshu glanced in Lu Ruoyu's direction and said, "Do you know what's going on here?"
Lu Ruoyu paused, shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I have heard a little about Wang Zhizhang. He is not a kind-hearted person, but he is not cold-blooded and heartless either.
I think he would send you food, perhaps to express his gratitude or to make amends for something."
Song Jinshu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his face darkened, and he said, "I came to Dafang County, could he have done something for me?"
Hearing this, Lu Ruoyu did not answer. These were just his guesses.
At this moment, Song Jinshu finally realized what was happening and cursed in his heart: "This old man is so evil! I have no grudge against him, why would he harm me? And he uses such despicable means!"
She finally survived a life-threatening crisis, but then this happened again. Is her life so worthless?
Everyone wants to come and step on it!
Looking at the two carts of food in front of him, Song Jinshu felt even more unhappy.
The little bit of gratitude in her heart disappeared in an instant. It seemed that her life was only worth this little bit of food.
Lu Ruoyu didn't know how to comfort her. This was their negligence. No one expected that someone would recommend Song Jinshu to come to Dafang County.
"Oh! Never mind. Since we are here, we should make the best of it. The most important thing now is the epidemic in Dafang County."
Song Jinshu hid the unhappiness in her heart. Since she was already here, she could only look forward.
However, if she finds the opportunity in the future, she will definitely give Lord Wang a good beating.
Although she was also annoyed by the intrigues in the officialdom, she had no choice but to endure it when people were bullying her. If she continued to endure it, others would think she was made of cotton.
Wouldn't everyone be able to climb over her head and bully her then?
"County Magistrate Lu, please distribute this grain later. Make sure every citizen has enough food! And remember to distribute it to the beggars on the street too."
Lu Ruoyu understood and immediately asked someone to divide the food into several portions, and then went down to arrange the work.
……
A month later.
The disaster situation in Dafang County gradually stabilized, but food supplies were running out.
Song Jinshu walked in the disaster camp wearing a mask and inspected the recovering villagers.
When the people saw her, they all bowed and saluted, and some would quietly kneel down and kowtow after she passed by.
Over the past month, every citizen in Dafang County has known Song Jinshu.
They all knew that Song Jinshu was a good official sent to save them.
Because Song Jinshu treated her people like her own children and was extremely caring towards women and children, everyone had a very good impression of her.
Song Jinshu came to the kitchen and looked at the rice jar, frowning and extremely worried.
There was only a shallow layer of rice in the rice jar, and the porridge in the pot was as thin as it could be.
But no one from the imperial court came to rescue them for a long time. Could it be that they had completely forgotten about them?
Song Jinshu sighed. If no one from the imperial court came, their food supply would be cut off.
If she hadn't accumulated a large amount of merit points during this period and won a reward from Xiaoliu, they would have been unable to survive.
"Oh! How can I endure these days?"
"Why are you sighing?" Lu Ruoyu came in with some wild fruits picked from the mountains.
As soon as he came in, he heard Song Jinshu sigh. He walked to her and took a look at her, and he understood.
"Run out of food?"
Song Jinshu nodded listlessly, his tone now filled with complaints: "Why hasn't the imperial court sent anyone to provide disaster relief? Could it be that someone has embezzled the relief funds?"
When Song Jinshu thought of this possibility, he could hardly sit still. It was really possible!
Lu Ruoyu's face was also full of doubts. From the day they came to Dafang County, he sent a message to Kyoto.
People in Kyoto should have known about the current situation in Dafang County a long time ago, but after waiting for such a long time, no one has come. Could it be true as Song Jinshu said?
But no matter how excessive they are, they won't leave no food at all!
It seems that he can only ask someone to send some food in from outside again, otherwise he will not be able to survive.
Song Jinshu didn't know what Lu Ruoyu was thinking. She clapped her hands and turned to go to the pharmacy.
There are still some herbs in the pharmacy, but they won’t last much longer.
She had to complain about her pity many times to get these medicines, and she also wrote a letter in blood and sent it to Shun'an Prefecture.
The governor of Liang County was so frightened that he went crazy. He paid out of his own pocket to send medicinal herbs several times, and he was able to barely hold on until now.
She was wondering whether she should write another letter to express her sympathy.
At least I can get some money back.
"Master Song! Master Song! Someone from the imperial court is coming!"
