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

Five hundred meters outside Jingyang County, a group of twenty teams dressed in black suddenly arrived. It was they who made the unusual noise just now.

Upon seeing this, the yamen runners guarding the city gate immediately reported it to Song Jinshu. Because of this anomaly, the originally quiet and festive atmosphere was completely destroyed.

At that moment, all the yamen runners circled around Song Jinshu. Song Jinshu felt a tightness in his heart and thought of the group of bandits between Dafang County and the area.

The county town was thrown into chaos by this incident. Song Jinshu's forehead wrinkled with veins as he shouted, "Everyone, listen to my orders. County Magistrate Lu and five others will stay behind to evacuate the civilians. The rest of you will follow me to guard the city gates!"

Song Jinshu was about to rush over when Lu Ruoyu suddenly held her shoulder, then quietly handed her a short blade and whispered, "Defend first. Don't force yourself to confront them. Wait until I get there!"

Meeting the other party's worried and concerned gaze, Song Jinshu nodded: "I know, you should appease the people first."

At this time, civil unrest is the most important thing, and the safety of the people is still the top priority. Now one of them must calm the restless people.

In an instant, Song Jinshu and others had reached the city gate. Everyone picked up their weapons and looked nervously at the troops not far away.

She ordered people to bring the scattered crowds outside the city into the county town. After everyone was in and out, the bandits were already in sight, and it was too late to close the city gates.

Seeing this, Song Jinshu gritted his teeth and decided to delay the bandits for a while, leaving enough time for Lu Ruoyu and others to set a trap.

They saw a tall bandit sitting on horseback, so tall and strong that one of them could fight against two adults.

Song Jinshu's eyes darkened and he clenched the broken blade in his hand. It seemed that this man was their leader.

The leading bandit sat on a tall horse, looking down at Song Jinshu and his companions. He squinted his eyes for a moment, then pointed at Song Jinshu and asked, "Are you the new magistrate of Jingyang County? Why are you a woman?"

He frowned, a hint of impatience in his eyes. Song Jinshu stood calmly at the front, head held high and nodded, "Exactly! I wonder what brings you to Jingyang County?"

Looking at the other party's calm eyes, the bandit was surprised and felt a little admiration in his heart.

In the past, when everyone saw him, they either stayed away in fear or approached him respectfully. They had never been treated so lightly.

"I heard that you made the cotton-padded jacket?" asked the bandit.

Song Jinshu's eyes flickered when he heard this. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded. "Yes, if you want to buy cotton-padded clothes, I'm willing to do business with you. However, I only do business with sincere people."

She looked at the person behind the bandit, and the meaning was self-evident.

She is willing to do business, but she absolutely cannot accept robbing people.

The bandit obviously understood her subtext; he just smiled and did not refute.

Then Song Jinshu saw him get off the horse and walk straight towards her. Cao Dutou, Lu Chuan and others hurried forward to block her.

The bandit paused and said with a smile, "I came here with sincerity to do business. Your Excellency, are you not welcome?"

"Of course you are welcome! You can all go down!" Song Jinshu waved his hand.

Seeing this, Cao Dutou and others retreated helplessly, but ten of them refused to give in. They narrowed their eyes and stared at the bandits cautiously.

It seems that as long as the opponent makes a move, they can immediately crush the person to ashes.

Song Jinshu took a quick look and saw that they were the newly recruited yamen runners that Wang Er had mentioned. She was a little surprised.

She became somewhat curious about these people with suspicious whereabouts. If she didn't know that the original owner was a poor little person with no backing, she would probably have thought that these people were there to protect her.

The bandit leader also noticed the ten people in front of him. Seeing their protective posture, his eyes were full of surprise. He didn't expect that there were dead men here.

Could it be that the woman in front of me is from a certain noble family?

However, he did not ask too many questions. Today's goal had not yet been achieved, and he did not care about these trivial matters.

Song Jinshu did not miss any of the other person's moves, and she became more and more certain of her inner thoughts.

Therefore, he dismissed those people without hesitation, stood in front of the bandits neither servile nor arrogant, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Since you are here sincerely to discuss business, why don't you discuss it in the teahouse?"

The bandit had a better understanding of Song Jinshu's courage, and he followed Song Jinshu into the city without hesitation.

The followers behind him also squeezed in. Seeing this, Cao Dutou and others also scrambled for the best defensive positions so that they could protect Song Jinshu in the first time in case they suddenly attacked.

Song Jinshu didn't care about what happened after her death. She was carefully watching the actions of the bandits.

He did not act or speak like a barbarian, and his every move was not like that of a robber, but rather like a general marching into battle.

This was also the reason why she led him into the city without hesitation.

The bandit was constantly surprised since he entered the city. He had been to Jingyang County in his early years and it was extremely poor.

Now seeing this brand new look, he suddenly had an illusion that he might have come to the wrong place.

Seeing the bandit looking around curiously, Song Jinshu asked softly, "What's your name?"

If it is your Excellency, it would be very uncomfortable to listen to.

The bandit just glanced at Song Jinshu lightly and saw that her eyes were clear and she didn't seem to be asking about his background.

"My last name is Huo."

Huo? Song Jinshu immediately searched for all the famous surnames, then realized something and looked up at him in disbelief.

"I'm just a traveling escort, and I came to the county town to buy some daily necessities."

Before Song Jinshu could speak, Huo Fang explained first.

Song Jinshu understood instantly and changed his words, "Since Escort Huo is here, let's do some shopping in the county town to avoid running out of food and clothing on the way."

Don't be fooled by Song Jinshu's calm appearance. In fact, she has begun to daydream and is too excited to calm down.

She never thought that she would meet the national defender General Huo Fang here. He was the patron saint of the Jinghe Dynasty and the most powerful god of war after the first Marquis of Nanzhen.

Otherwise, the Jinghe Dynasty, which looked bright and beautiful on the outside but had an empty treasury and officials who did not do their work and only thought about pleasure every day, would have destroyed itself long ago.

With Huo Guang, foreign enemies dared not to enter easily. In addition, the current emperor was a virtuous ruler who was determined to reform the corrupt officialdom.

Because of these, although the economic conditions of the lower classes of the Jinghe Dynasty were not good and it was common for them to go hungry, they did not experience much war.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Liu's Teahouse. The owner of the teahouse felt a tightness in his heart when he saw Song Jinshu and Huo Fang, but then he calmly led them into the VIP box.

Then he sensibly sent the waiter away from the teahouse, leaving the space for the two groups of people.

After entering the box, with no outsiders watching, Song Jinshu's expression changed instantly and he bowed solemnly to Huo Fang.
