Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

Good times are always fleeting. Some people win money and are grinning from ear to ear, while others go bankrupt again.

Looking at Lu Ruoyu with a sad face and a dead heart, Song Jinshu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

I feel sorry for him, but also think that his luck is extremely bad. His luck is really unbelievable.

Shen Fenghua, however, didn't have so many worries. He touched his bulging wallet and smiled coquettishly: "Hahahaha... County Magistrate Lu, I don't think you are suitable for mahjong. It's so boring to play mahjong with you! I can't lose even if I want to~"

Shen Fenghua's sarcastic words successfully earned Lu Ruoyu's roll of the eyes: "Really?"

Really? He gritted his teeth and said these two words, but Shen Fenghua didn't take them to heart at all.

Xiang An's face was full of sighs. Although he lost a lot today, it was not as bad as Lu Ruoyu's bankruptcy.

But the mahjong in Jingyang County is really interesting, and he becomes more and more addicted to it.

"Ahem...it's getting late, let's go back to the county first!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Song Jinshu immediately changed the subject. After playing mahjong with Lu Ruoyu for so many days, she felt that she might not be suitable for playing mahjong.

Every time he can reach new heights, even if they deliberately let the opponent win, he can still make a big win. It's unparalleled.

Alas, I don’t know if it hurts his self-esteem. I guess she won’t invite him to play mahjong next time!

Before sunset, the group returned to the county government office. Xiang An and his entourage went to stay at the post station, while Song Jinshu returned to the county government office.

After returning home, she fell asleep immediately. After a night, she felt full of energy the next day.

Song Jinshu took Xiang An for a stroll around the villages near Jingyang County.

"Sir Song, I heard that your county built a canal this year, thus avoiding flooding. I also intend to dig one in Dafang County. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to come and see it?"

This was also one of the purposes of his trip. This year, countless farms in Dafang County were submerged due to floods, and no grain was harvested.

He had heard about the canal digging work in Jingyang County a long time ago. Before he took office, the emperor praised Song Jinshu in public.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity to visit.

Next year, Dafang County must build a canal before the rainy season to prevent floods from happening again.

Song Jinshu probably guessed what he was thinking, and naturally he was willing to do it.

The two counties are not too far apart, and if one county encounters trouble, the other counties will also be affected.

She had long wanted to propose this suggestion to the Liang County Magistrate. Now that Xiang An had taken the initiative to mention the idea of ​​building a canal, it coincided with her plan.

"Yes! Please follow me, Master Xiang!"

Song Jinshu led Xiang An to the nearest village, where there was a section of the water canal.

Because it was not far away, the two of them walked there and met many villagers who were doing farm work on the way.

Everyone greeted Song Jinshu kindly when they saw him, and seemed very close to him. Xiang An went from being surprised at first to admiring him in the end.

"I never thought the people of Jingyang County had such a good relationship with Lord Song."

He originally thought that Song Jinshu was an official after all, and no matter how much he loved the people like his own children, he would definitely not let go of his pride and get so close to these villagers.

Song Jinshu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the newly renovated country road, and listened to Xiang An's words with a smile on his face.

"I am a citizen of Jingyang County, and they are all my county citizens. Naturally, I must love and care for them. If I treat them well, they will naturally treat me well."

"But have you ever thought about this? If you keep a low profile when interacting with them, they might respect you in the short term. But if time goes on for a long time, and they see that you have no temper, aren't you afraid of being bullied?"

Xiang An looked at Song Jinshu in confusion. Looking back in history, there had been officials who treated the people like family.

Everything was fine at the beginning, but gradually, the two sides became familiar with each other, and the villagers, relying on their familiarity with the officials, began to bully their subordinates and deceive their superiors, and later the officials' prestige was lost.

The consequence of this is that the people have no respect for officials, and the public security in the county has become even more chaotic.

Song Jinshu glanced at Xiang An in surprise, frowned, and asked, "Do you think I look easy to bully?"

Xiang An hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Not like it!"

She looked like a villain who was not easy to mess with, if you didn't know everything she had done for the people in the past.

Judging from her appearance alone, although she is good-looking, her temperament is really like that of a "villain".

"That's it!" Song Jinshu snorted twice.

Doesn’t she just have a smart face?

"Even though you don't look like one, if you remain weak and don't establish your authority, even if you initially gain the people's love, once their hearts are nurtured, aren't you afraid they'll rebel against you?"

Seeing Song Jinshu's heartless look, Xiang An couldn't help but worry about her.

He has said so much, is she pretending not to understand or is she understanding but not taking it seriously?

"Don't be afraid! They wouldn't dare!"

Song Jinshu's face was full of confidence, which made Xiang An frown. Who gave her the confidence?

Despite so many lessons learned from predecessors, she still covers her ears and continues to go the wrong way.

"While they still respect you now, and you have already established yourself as someone who loves the people like your own children, don't lower your attitude in the future, or you will regret it later."

Hearing this, Song Jinshu stopped and bent his head to look at the opposite side: "Master Xiao Xiang, didn't you ask about me carefully before you came?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xiang An asked puzzledly.

Song Jinshu sighed. He was indeed still a child. She didn't have the heart to tell him about how she had killed Mr. Li San and his gang, and the great events in Wujian Village.

I’m afraid he’ll get scared and have a nightmare if he hears it…

He only saw the side where the people treated her very kindly, so how could he know that in private, the woman used her to scare her children into being obedient.

After all, during that period, the residents of Jingyang County, young and old, would take a detour when they saw her.

It took her a lot of effort to slowly change this image.

"How about you ask around yourself when you get back? See how I'm perceived by the people?"

"Let's go! We'll be there soon!"

Song Jinshu turned and left, leaving Xiang An with a graceful back view.

Xiang An looked at her in confusion as she walked away. Could it be that he missed something in his investigation?

Because the rainy season has passed, the water flow has become slow, and the water in the canal flows from the river, and it looks continuous at a glance.

This section of the river happens to have nothing blocking its way. Looking up from here, there are two mountains connected, which looks very spectacular.

Xiang An no longer had the heart to inquire about the situation, and focused entirely on the water channel.

"It's truly amazing. Furthermore, this river seems to branch off into many different streams. And the direction of these branches seems to bypass the village."

Song Jinshu patted his shoulder in appreciation: "You have a bad eye. You saw the essence right away!"

"This one in front of me is the main road, and the others are branches. I call the main road the outer river, and the branches the inner river..."
