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

Song Jinshu sat on the ox cart, while Lu Ruoyu led the ox beside him, and the two walked along the dug canal.

The villagers were still busy working, and only when Song Jinshu passed by did they secretly look up.

Some of the women looked up from time to time towards a hidden place, and Song Jinshu followed their gaze.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The ox cart was stopped, and Lu Ruoyu looked at her doubtfully: "What's the urgent matter, sir?"

Is it possible that the soles of your feet are inflamed and painful?

He was about to take out the medicine he had prepared, but he saw that Song Jinshu's eyes were looking somewhere.

Only then did he realize that there seemed to be a group of children in that hidden place?

He blinked again in disbelief, and Song Jinshu's hands had already pulled his clothes.

"County Magistrate Lu, look over there! Are those a group of children?"

Lu Ruoyu hummed softly, it was definitely a child!

But why are there children here?

Not only was she confused, even Song Jinshu was confused. All sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind. Could these be the children of these villagers?

She coughed and said calmly, "County Magistrate Lu, let's go take a look!"

When the children on the opposite side saw Song Jinshu and the other person coming, they were so scared that they hid behind the tree roots, but half of their bodies were still exposed.

Some of the women who were still digging the canal noticed the commotion here and were also very nervous. What if Lord Song got angry?

Suddenly, Song Jinshu had already walked in front of the children.

Seeing that the children were too scared to come out, she curled her lips and asked kindly, "Don't be afraid, kids! I'm not a bad person. Whose children are you? Why are you here?"

Suddenly, a timid child in the group of children was frightened and started crying. Her face turned black, and more children started crying.

Lu Ruoyu suddenly laughed out loud, which made Song Jinshu glare at her.

"County Magistrate Lu, come here!"

Lu Ruoyu: “…”

"Yes!"

Song Jinshu simply leaned back and let Lu Ruoyu coax her. She was waiting to see the joke.

However, the next second, several of the older children ran to Lu Ruoyu, grabbed the corners of his clothes tightly with their little hands, hid beside him and looked at him.

No, what do you mean? Does she look scary?

Song Jinshu touched her face unconfidently. She looked in the mirror every day. Apart from the shrewdness revealed between her eyebrows and eyes, she was also quite good-looking.

Even though she's a little bit inferior to the ridiculously handsome man in front of you, there's no need to be so afraid of her!

"Children, whose children are you? Do you know where this is?"

A child looked left and right at this person, then said cautiously in a low voice: "I am from Zhang Laifu's family in Zhangjia Village. My name is Sanniu."

Once there is one, there will be another. The next child continued, "I'm from Wangjia Village next door. My name is Erniu. I came here with my mother."

Then all the children said which village they were from and whose family they were from.

But when asked why they came here, they all said that their parents and grandparents asked them to follow them.

Song Jinshu and Lu Ruoyu looked at each other and walked to a quiet place. Song Jinshu couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of this matter, County Magistrate Lu?"

Lu Ruoyu was silent for a few seconds, pursed her lips, and said, "My Lord, please let the parents of those children speak for themselves!"

This will happen faster than their wild guesses here.

The child's parents and other villagers noticed the two of them when they passed by. Now that they saw them return, they all buried their heads and quickened their work.

But it was visible to the naked eye that some of them looked panicked, while others were laughing at the joke.

"Whose children are those over there? Come up and answer!"

The yamen runner naturally did not miss this scene. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. In fact, he had already noticed the existence of the group of children, but he turned a blind eye to it because he thought the villagers had difficult lives.

Now Lord Song was angry, and they could not escape the blame, so for the sake of this job, he bit his tongue and cruelly whipped the nearest villager.

"Who's taking care of the child? Why don't you just step forward? Do I have to come here and ask for help?"

The villagers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "County Magistrate, please spare our lives! We will never dare to do that again!"

This scene happened so quickly that Song Jinshu got into trouble in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the villagers being beaten and bleeding, her eyes turned cold and she glared at the yamen runners.

The bailiff didn't dare to act presumptuously anymore and stood back up with his head lowered.

The villagers here were still crying. Song Jinshu rubbed her temples. Her head was buzzing and she was so annoyed!

"Okay! Stop arguing!"

As soon as she spoke, the crowd suddenly quieted down and looked at her in fear.

Song Jinshu sighed and explained loudly, "I don't mean to blame you. I'm just curious about something, so I came here to ask!"

"Villagers who brought their children, please come up, and the rest of you can continue working!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers stood up spontaneously and came together with hoes in their arms.

During this period, Song Jinshu looked at the villagers who were whipped, frowned, and sighed, it was an unprovoked disaster!

She looked at the yamen runner and said, "Do you have any ointment? If you do, take it out and rub it on him."

The villagers looked at Song Jinshu in disbelief. They had been beaten many times while doing forced labor in previous years. Didn’t he just endure the injury that time?

Why did the county magistrate personally send someone to deliver medicine to him?

"Alright! Come up! You've been caught in an unforeseen disaster today. I'll give you a day off and an extra day's pay."

The villagers knelt down suddenly, and the pain in their bodies was gone.

"Thank you, County Magistrate! Thank you, County Magistrate!"

He climbed up nimbly, as if he had not been wronged but had received a great benefit.

Seeing this, the other villagers looked at him with envy.

They would be willing to be whipped just to get a day's wages for free!

Song Jinshu's mouth twitched. What is going on?

Lu Ruoyu has been observing Song Jinshu. She is really different from before!

He vaguely remembered that once a beggar bumped into her and she had him arrested. If he had not pleaded for mercy, the beggar would have lost his life.

How can a person change so much in such a short time?

Even if she was pretending in the early days, the temperament that emanated from her bones was very different from her current self.

Could it be that this person has been possessed by another body?

He remembered reading in a travelogue that a person died and was possessed by a wandering spirit, and then became a completely different person.

But somehow that man broke the law and was put to death.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but doubt the woman in front of him.

He felt inexplicably upset, and the look he gave Song Jinshu was complicated and contradictory.

Song Jinshu didn't notice his emotions. She looked at the villagers who came together.

Most of them were women, and everyone had an uneasy look on their face.
