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

Lu Ruoyu, who had just felt guilty and embarrassed, became very serious in an instant when he learned the purpose of her visit.

"My Lord, please wait a moment. I will change my clothes and go with you."

With that, he turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Song Jinshu alone standing there, looking around.

His clothes didn't look dirty, did they? Wasn't she, a woman, as particular as he?

Song Jinshu sighed silently. She had been wearing the same clothes for three days, so she would change her clothes tomorrow.

While Lu Ruoyu was changing clothes, she walked around. Not to mention that every place here was exquisite, there was a small garden in front.

It was just that the rain was so heavy that the few flowers that did bloom were knocked down onto the wet ground.

She remembered that there was also a small garden in the backyard of the county government office, but the previous county magistrate did not plant any flowers. Now her diligent sisters and the concubine left by her father have reclaimed the land and planted vegetables.

After a while, Lu Ruoyu hurried out. Song Jinshu saw that he had changed into a brown robe. The color of the robe was dark and the fabric looked very rough.

But because Lu Ruoyu has a model-like body proportion, this cheap piece of clothing becomes a fashionable item on him.

Alas! Comparison is the thief of frustration!

Song Jinshu clicked his tongue. How could this person be so lucky?

It turns out he has all the characteristics of being tall, rich and handsome, and most importantly, he is quite cultured.

Never mind, I can't compare.

However, she didn't have this kind of brown clothes in her closet, so when she got back, she felt that she needed to make one for herself.

It is convenient to wear when you go to the countryside, and you won’t feel bad if it gets dirty or snagged.

She was the only one in the Song family who did not have brown clothes, because she was the only scholar in the family. Liu loved her very much and never let her do any housework at home.

Therefore, her clothes were all long and wide-sleeved.

"Sir, thank you for waiting! Let's go!"

Lu Ruoyu felt a little nervous when she was stared at her, and her heart was pounding.

I don’t know what’s wrong, but recently he has been nervous and anxious when facing Song Jinshu. Could it be because he hasn’t slept well recently?

Lu Ruoyu felt that she knew the truth and made up her mind to go to bed an hour earlier tonight.

Otherwise, how will he be able to do his work when official duties become busy in the future?

"Hey! Let's go! Should we go back to the county government office to get the person first?"

The two walked out of the door side by side. Lu Ruoyu walked behind and locked the door while answering. "Of course, we will go to the county government office to find someone first."

"Yeah! Still!"

Lu Ruoyu's efficiency is quite high. In just one stick of incense, more than a dozen people have gathered.

But some people still had mud on their clothes, as if they had just come out of the ground.

Noticing Song Jinshu's gaze, Lu Ruoyu explained, "Our county government's income is not high. We haven't received monthly wages for several months. The runners will look for more work after they finish their work."

Song Jinshu:?

Is this county government so poor? Where did the original owner get the stolen silver?

And she remembered that before Shi Zhubu left, she checked the accounts and found that there were still several thousand taels of silver in the county government's account book.

The monthly salary is completely enough to pay the yamen runners. Even if Shi Zhubu deliberately attacked them, it shouldn't be so long as to not receive the salary for several months!

So she asked out of curiosity. Lu Ruoyu sighed silently and shook her head, saying, "No, the silver and money that Shi Zhubu embezzled were mostly tributes from wealthy families to the county government. It's just that you don't know about it."

"What? I'm the boss of the government office. How could I not know about the tributes from the rich?"

Song Jinshu gritted her teeth, thinking that these subordinates were secretly blaming her!

Lu Ruoyu looked at Song Jinshu with a smile on his face. He really wanted to pry open her head and take a look. It turned out that she had embezzled ten thousand taels of silver notes, but didn't even know whose it belonged to?

"No! Why are you looking at me? How would I know..."

Suddenly, Song Jinshu's complaints stopped abruptly, and she remembered the money in her purse.

Instantly, her eyes became resolute, and she walked ahead with her head held high. But looking at the yamen runners who looked at her with grievance, she finally nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. When I finish this mission and come back, I will make up the monthly salary I owe you all in one go!"

The yamen runners present applauded happily, and their previous indifference and reserve towards Song Jinshu were gone.

Some of the yamen runners had already gone to the village to inform the villagers and knew the situation. They told a lot of things like pouring beans.

"The villagers don't want to leave because some are reluctant to leave their crops, while others have run out of food. The food in the fields is their life."

Song Jinshu seemed to be lost in thought. It was all because of the lack of food.

Fortunately, she had arranged for people to purchase grain, and the three stones of grain in the county government were enough to sustain her.

Just half a year later, Shunan Prefecture will suffer a flood. Due to the special terrain, other county towns in Shunan Prefecture are almost all separated by mountains.

If a big fire really breaks out, only this county will suffer.

She remembered that in her previous life, Jingyang County was the worst hit by the disaster, while the other counties, except for the neighboring Guangrao County, were not much affected.

Guangrao County was affected by the disaster because the victims from Jingyang County all flocked to Guangrao County.

She felt uncomfortable when she thought that the people in her county would become disaster victims who would be hated by everyone in the future.

Now that she is the chief official of Jingyang County, she naturally has to find ways to protect the people of Jingyang County.

Another two hours passed before Song Jinshu and the others arrived at the village downstream of the dam.

The population in the villages in Jingyang County is relatively concentrated, with basically four to five hundred households in one village.

The place where they settled now was Zhangjia Village.

After hearing the news, the village chief of Zhangjia Village hurried back from the fields and knelt down as soon as he saw Song Jinshu and others.

Among this group of people, only Song Jinshu is a woman, and the new county magistrate of their Jingyang County is also a woman. Village Chief Zhang does have some good eyesight.

"I didn't know the county magistrate was coming here, so I didn't come to greet him. I hope you will forgive me!"

Village chief Zhang was very nervous, as he had vaguely heard about the new county magistrate.

It is said that as soon as she arrived, wealthy families in the surrounding area rushed to send money to her.

I don’t know why she came here?

Song Jinshu looked at Village Chief Zhang. He looked like a typical farmer, with dark skin, sun spots all over his face, and he was very thin and looked malnourished.

To be precise, everyone in Zhangjia Village is malnourished.

"Village Chief Zhang? We previously sent people to ask you to leave the village and seek shelter, but I heard that you all refused."

Her words sounded very strong and intimidating. Village chief Zhang knelt down again to apologize as soon as he stood up.

The villagers around came over one after another, but they only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to get close.

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, we are guilty, but...but now is the busy farming season. If we leave, there will be no one to look after the crops in the fields!"

Village chief Zhang was crying with grievance, looking very pitiful. Song Jinshu felt a pang in his heart, but he still managed to finish what he was saying.
