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

"Okay, stop looking at me with that dead look on your face. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Song Jinshu's voice was calm, without any emotion.

Zhang Ergou also came back to his senses, and took it with a grin, thanking him: "Thank you, Master Song, this food smells so delicious! I would die without regrets if I could have a taste of it before the meal!"

Song Jinshu's nose felt a little sour. There must be something pitiful about a hateful person. No one wants to become a bad person for no reason, unless they are born bad.

After hearing about Zhang Ergou's story, she wrote a letter to Xiang An, asking him to investigate Zhang Ergou's case.

He discovered that the life he had lived was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Misfortune always likes to pick on the unfortunate, and Zhang Ergou was one of them. He was only a few years old at that time and should have grown up under the love of his parents, but he was forced to become an orphan.

The relatives around him were even more arrogant and domineering, encroaching on his family property and not treating other people's orphans seriously.

Before Zhang Ergou turned evil, after he had understood a little more, he would often help the people who gave him food by doing things within his ability.

When Zhang Ergou grew up, his uncle's family came to him. They didn't give him food or return the land, but asked him to be responsible for the family's land, and even beat and scolded him often.

Later, the honest man was forced into a corner and fought back...

Song Jinshu felt powerless. Even in the prosperous and peaceful times of his previous life, he was unable to save all the suffering people.

She can only do her best to reduce the occurrence of these things.

Seeing Zhang Ergou contentedly eating the New Year's Eve dinner with only a few dishes, the smile on his face really hurt her heart.

"Don't choke. No one's competing with you. If you behave well in the future, I can give you extra food."

Zhang Ergou's eyes lit up and he grinned, "Hehe! Don't worry, Master Song. Although I, Zhang Ergou, am not a good person, I am also responsible. I am willing to accept this responsibility."

Seeing the other party's sincere smile, Song Jinshu felt heavy-hearted. It was a fact that Zhang Ergou killed his uncle's family. Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts must be repaid.

She couldn't exonerate him, so she decided to let him suffer less before his death!

We can't let him suffer before he dies.

Only after Zhang Ergou had eaten and drunk his fill did Song Jinshu leave the dungeon with the leftovers.

After he left, the two yamen runners on duty were filled with emotion.

"Our Lord is truly kindhearted! He even personally delivered New Year's Eve dinner to the condemned prisoners."

Another yamen runner glanced at the one who spoke with an angry look: "Since my lord is not kind, how can we still have good wine and good food?"

"This gentleman of ours must be the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva, specially sent to save us. Zhang Ergou's luck is a bit bad. If he had been born a few years later and reincarnated in our Jingyang County, with the help of the Charity Foundation Association, he would not have gone up the mountain to become a bandit no matter how miserable his life was."

Naturally, both of them had heard about Zhang Ergou's experience. Although they felt some sympathy in their hearts, they were not so sad as to cry for him.

Zhang Ergou took all these words to heart. He thought that perhaps after his death, he could really be reborn in Jingyang County.

Even if he had encountered the beginning of his life here, with Song Jinshu, he would never have embarked on the path of this life.

Zhang Ergou fell into a sweet dream with inner expectations. Tonight was the most peaceful night he had ever slept since he could remember.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The Song family has no elders, so the unmarried girls all get up early to wish Song Jinshu a happy new year.

Song Jinshu was very generous and gave each person twenty taels of New Year's money, which made Song Yunrong, who had never seen more than a copper coin, very happy.

Naturally, the three concubines also had to receive New Year's money. Since they were considered half-elders, Song Jinshu gave them an extra ten taels as a token of filial piety.

Then all the girls in the room, led by Song Jinshu, went to the Liu family next door to pay New Year's greetings to the old couple of the Liu family.

This one visit almost took away all of the old couple’s pension money, but they were genuinely happy.

They like to see their children and grandchildren walking in front of them, and they are very happy to see them.

After lunch, Song Yunbing and his wife brought their children to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Liu.

Seeing how much the old couple loved their great-grandson, they almost spent all the money they had saved for a year.

Throughout the entire first month of the Lunar New Year, Jingyang County was filled with an atmosphere of happiness and joy.

Song Jinshu was either attending a drinking party or on his way to a dinner party.

There is no way, there are too many wealthy businessmen, I have to invite one after another.

Seeing his fifth sister Song Yunfu getting along with everyone and being like a fish in water at the banquet, Song Jinshu admired her social skills very much.

She also wanted to be that kind of social bull, but unfortunately due to her personality, she couldn't do it.

On this day in early February, people came to Kyoto again.

The Song and Liu families were waiting at home early, and at the end of the day, the royal ceremonial team arrived.

Song Jinshu, the two elders of the Liu family, and the two brothers of the Liu family went forward to receive it.

Seeing the visitor dressed in eunuch's attire and with his index finger raised, Song Jinshu looked at him carefully. Seeing that it was a stranger, he politely half-booed.

Eunuch Yang immediately stepped aside. He didn't dare to accept Song Jinshu's greeting. He said in panic, "Master Song, please forgive me. I am just a servant of the Emperor. You are an official serving the country and the people. How can you greet me with such courtesy?"

"Eunuch is an old man by the Emperor's side. You have served the Emperor for many years and have more seniority than me. It is only right that I respect you."

This polite gesture greatly improved Eunuch Yang's impression of Song Jinshu.

He originally thought that the other party was talented and must be proud, and he was just a rootless slave, so he was afraid that he would not be able to catch the other party's eyes.

I didn't expect that Lord Song is not only young, beautiful and talented, but also has a very good temper.

He immediately understood why Taifu Zhou praised Song Jinshu so highly.

Even he likes this extraordinary woman who combines talent and beauty.

During the conversation, Song Jinshu also learned the name of Eunuch Yang. He learned that he was the eunuch who had served the emperor since he was a child. Song Jinshu secretly felt fortunate that he treated him with courtesy.

Such a person should never be underestimated. She has watched quite a few palace fighting dramas, and the eunuchs around the emperor are of very high value.

"Sir Song, the Emperor has sent me here to bring you great news. Please bring your family to receive the Emperor's order!"

With the experience of previous times, Song Jinshu and others memorized it by heart. After hearing the content of the imperial edict, she was stunned for a moment.

Did she hear correctly? The Emperor asked her to take up the post of Magistrate of Shun'an Prefecture immediately?

Song Jinshu was almost confused when he received the order, and Liu Zhiyuan quietly gave him a red envelope as a reward.

Eunuch Yang touched the wallet and found that it was light, but the paper was thick. His smile suddenly became surprisingly deep.

"Sir Song, the Emperor has very high expectations of you. Before I left, I had a fourth-rank official uniform tailored for you, and I also sent you the county magistrate's seal."

"Please deal with the affairs of Jingyang County as soon as possible. Shun'an Prefecture still needs you to take charge of the overall situation."

Song Jinshu was happy about the promotion, but she had finally managed to enjoy a retirement life, and now she had to start her career again.

Can't she be given two more years of rest?
