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

"What a bunch of old bastards! They're so attentive when it comes to taking money, but pretend to be poor when paying!"

The chief eunuch, Yang Gonggong, was so frightened that he fell to the ground and pleaded in a panic, "Your Majesty, please calm down! The people in the secret cabinet have already taken action. I think it won't be long before the treasury is full."

The emperor's expression improved a little after hearing this, but when he thought of those corrupt officials, he felt as sick as if he had eaten shit.

"Pass the order down. All those who are found guilty of corruption, regardless of official rank, will be investigated!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

Eunuch Yang sorted out the scattered memorials, placed them on a desk a little away from the emperor, and then went downstairs to give orders.

In the capital, high-ranking officials with connections and channels were well aware of the emperor's temper, and they ordered their descendants and close relatives to control their behavior.

Only those minor officials who had no connections and were not well-informed continued to act as usual.

A county magistrate in a remote county like Song Jinshu, who had no background or connections, naturally didn't know about it.

What she did know was that she knew the plot six months later than others.

For several days in a row, Song Jinshu would go for a stroll by the canal every day.

It concerns her life, so she must keep an eye on it personally.

And no one knew what Lu Ruoyu was busy with these days, but she didn't see any trace of him.

When asked, the yamen runner said he was busy handling official business.

However, during this period, she encountered Shen Fenghua with a "fever" more than once, and he was wearing cooler clothes day by day, like a colorful peacock.

Gradually, rumors began to spread from the county government office. Song Jinshu clearly felt that when she walked on the street, the county residents always looked at her with strange eyes.

She had just returned from the canal when she met a strange man in dark red clothes.

Song Jinshu's heart sank. Even after seeing him countless times, she was still stunned by his beauty.

She not only secretly cursed herself for being useless.

She always remembers that the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it is!

"Ahem...Mr. Shen, are you out for a stroll again today?"

Shen Fenghua raised his eyebrows slightly, turned up the corners of his mouth, and revealed a seductive smile.

"Sir, why do you ask when you already know the answer? I'm waiting for you!"

Song Jinshu couldn't help but shudder. Why did this guy like to speak with phlegm?

"If Mr. Shen has a sore throat, you can go to the doctor and get some medicine to avoid damaging your throat."

"I have official business to attend to at the government office, so I won't accompany you any longer!"

Song Jinshu ran away as if escaping, and slowed down his violently beating heart. This man was quite good at teasing.

If he wasn't her type, she would have been in real trouble.

Song Jinshu patted his chest and waited until he calmed down before walking towards the county government office.

Behind her, Shen Fenghua's eyes never left her. Looking at her disappearing figure, his brows were tightly furrowed.

He could clearly feel that Song Jinshu was different from before. Could it be that she knew the emperor's order and was afraid that he would lose everything due to embezzlement?

"Looks like we need to act early!"

He can't let the fish he has his eyes on get away easily, otherwise he won't be able to get promoted this year.

Shen Fenghua disappeared on the spot, and Lu Ruoyu was buying food just now and saw the interaction between the two when she passed by.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but more of it was fear of Shen Fenghua.

This person must be no simple person, but as to who he belongs to, no one knows.

Thinking of Song Jinshu's talents, Lu Ruoyu sighed silently, hoping that she could stick to her original intention.

"Sister, you're finally back! Fu'er has been waiting for so long! Look, Cousin Yue and some of the sisters went out to sell cakes today and made a few taels of silver!"

As soon as Song Yunfu saw Song Jinshu coming back, she pulled him over to look at her. She pointed at the copper coins scattered on the table and said happily.

"Cousin, you're back! We sold a lot of cakes today and made a total of one or two taels of silver! Oh! If we sold them in the capital, we would definitely make more!"

Liu Jiangyue shook her head with a slight regret, but the other Song sisters all had flushed faces. This was the first time they had earned money with their own hands, and it was also their first pot of gold. How could they not be excited?

"I think one tael of silver is already very good. Our Song family is not like your Liu family. We are content with what we have. Why do we need so much money? Be careful not to stink of money!"

Seeing Liu Jiangyue's money-obsessed look, Song Yunyu felt uncomfortable and she was jealous out of habit.

Song Yunqing, standing by, rebuked him dissatisfiedly, "Fourth sister! What you wear and eat don't you need money?"

"Hmph!" Song Yunyu felt aggrieved after being scolded by her own sister. She pouted and turned her head to look aside.

The other sisters all knew what kind of personality Song Yunyu had, and no one tried to coax her.

Song Jinshu watched a play that was performed every day. She was worried that she would not be able to get used to it after these girls got married.

"Yue'er is amazing! My sisters are amazing too! If you can earn one tael today, you can earn ten taels tomorrow. After two years, when business picks up, your dowries will be even more generous."

All the girls, except the youngest one, the seventh sister, blushed.

Especially Song Yunbing, who is only four years younger than Song Jinshu. She is almost sixteen years old and is at the age of waiting to be married. She often thinks about what her future husband will look like.

But... she originally had a marriage proposal, but after Song's father and Liu passed away, the family despised the Song family and refused to marry her.

He also knew that her elder sister held an official position in a remote county town, so he went to her house in person to break off the engagement.

Now she has no engagement and her mother is gone, so she doesn’t know what her marriage will be like.

Song Yunbing's brows were slightly bitter, and he began to feel sentimental again.

Concubine Xiang, who was serving on the side, was also in a very anxious state. She gave birth to Song Yunbing and Song Yunjie. When the mistress was alive, she treated the girls very well.

Apart from the eldest daughter, Yun Bing had been introduced to a good family early on, but people's hearts are often hidden, and that family is the best at disguising themselves.

Seeing that the Song family was in trouble, she hurriedly broke off the engagement. Now that the second girl's marriage was uncertain, she would fall asleep in tears every night.

The eldest daughter is already unmarried, so she can't go to the second daughter to find someone with such an identity!

As she thought about it, Xiang Yi Niang's tears started to flow, but she didn't dare to be rude in front of Song Jinshu, so she went to her room and cried.

Song Jinshu was a carefree person and didn't notice any of this. After eating and drinking, she went back to the house.

Then I started to study how to accumulate merits...

Ever since she had accumulated some merits by feeding the brother and sister that day, she had asked people to distribute some steamed buns to the beggars, but she still did not receive any prompts from the system.

I guess she could only calculate it herself.

Song Jinshu decided to give it a try tomorrow and couldn't wait in such despair any longer.

The next day, it was sunny.

Song Jinshu put on casual clothes and tied her hair up high. Her body was underdeveloped and her chest was flat.

People who didn't know her thought she was a man.

Song Jinshu was too lazy to explain and helped several beggars on the way to the canal.
