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

On the streets of Jingyang County.

A man in a moon-white gown walked slowly towards the county government office holding an umbrella.

When he arrived, the gatekeeper finally saw the visitor's face and greeted him with a smile: "Your Excellency, the County Magistrate is later than usual today. I thought you were not coming today."

Lu Ruoyu is kind and gentle.

The yamen runners and servants in the county government all had a good relationship with him and spoke to him in a friendly and casual manner.

"It rained heavily yesterday and a corner of the house collapsed accidentally. The rain was a little lighter this morning, so I came here after I cleaned up."

"I see."

The bailiff suddenly understood. No wonder. It was because County Magistrate Lu had been coming to Jingyang County late every day and doing his work diligently.

However, the two talked about the collapse, which reminded the yamen runner of what happened yesterday.

"County Magistrate Lu doesn't know that two tiles in our back kitchen were broken last night. Lady Song and her sisters worked hard for a long time to save the kitchen."

Otherwise, the kitchen would be in a mess!

Lu Ruoyu's eyes narrowed. He knew that the county government office had been in disrepair for many years, but he didn't expect that the backyard was also in such a serious state.

It stands to reason that the former county magistrate and Song Jinshu, who are people who love to enjoy life, should not live in a shabby place.

But considering what the previous county magistrate, Mr. Zhang, had done, he owned countless properties in the county and would probably not be content to live in the back office, so it was not surprising that he did not spend money on repairs.

Besides, Song Jinshu had only been in office for a little over a month, so it was understandable that he had not had time to renovate the county government office.

In just two breaths, Lu Ruoyu figured out the whole story.

He walked towards the hall without commenting on the matter.

There are still many unsolved mysteries about Song Jinshu, and he will not interfere too much in her affairs.

"A-choo!" Song Jinshu was lying lazily on the couch reading a storybook when he suddenly sneezed.

There's always a feeling of being watched.

She shook her head hard and continued to read the notebook in her hand.

The more I read, the more boring it becomes. What the hell is this?

After a long time, many beautiful daughters from wealthy families fell in love with poor scholars with no talent or looks, and were willing to be his concubines.

"How dare you think of such a shameless thing!"

Song Jinshu cursed and suddenly felt that the notebook in his hand was tasteless.

Her eyes turned slightly, her expression changed slightly, and suddenly she went to the study excitedly with an umbrella.

Since she was bored, she decided to write a storybook herself. If there were a few people with vision, she might be able to make some money.

Song Jinshu immediately started working. He made an outline on paper, thought about it, and decided to write a fantasy novel.

From ancient times to the present, cultivating immortals will never go out of style!

Song Jinshu was writing furiously, while Lu Ruoyu frowned and looked at the account book in distress.

There is no money in the account book!

The canal has just been built, and if the wages are cut off, it will probably cause public outrage.

Lu Ruoyu pinched her brows in distress, thinking about how to fill this hole.

It is true that he has money, but he also needs a legitimate reason. He can't just close his eyes and throw money in.

How will they argue when the court audits their accounts in the future?

"Alas! What should we do?"

Lu Ruoyu secretly hated herself for having money but no business acumen.

He was prepared to live off the family business for the rest of his life. He had no intention of making great achievements, and he came to Jingyang County to escape the pressure from his family.

Somehow, he suddenly thought of Song Jinshu.

If it were her in the past, perhaps I wouldn't have counted on her at all, but now she is...

During this period of contact, he found that this lonely ghost was not only hardworking, but also had normal values.

If this matter is handed over to her, there will definitely be unimaginable surprises.

After a few rounds, Lu Ruoyu decided to look for Song Jinshu.

Song Jinshu, who had no idea that he had more work pressure, was applauding his own brilliant ideas.

"I'm such a genius! This novel is going to be a hit."

Song Jinshu only wrote two lines of words, but he created the illusion that all authors would have.

Having not experienced the beatings of society, there is still a clear stupidity in his eyes.

"What good thing happened to you, sir? Why are you so happy?"

As soon as Lu Ruoyu approached the study, she heard Song Jinshu's boasting.

Although I already knew her personality, I still sighed at her shamelessness.

When Song Jinshu thought of his wonderful future life, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. When he saw Lu Ruoyu coming over, his smile deepened.

With the handsome guy next to her, she feels more inspired!

She decided that the male protagonist would be based on Lu Ruoyu!

"Why is your Excellency looking at me like this?"

Lu Ruoyu felt that her eyes were strange and didn't know what bad ideas she was up to.

"Hey! County Magistrate Lu, why are you here? Are you having trouble with your official duties?"

The other party would not come to her for no reason. Song Jinshu could not find any other reason except that he had something to ask her.

If this person lived in modern times, he would definitely be a workaholic.

Lu Ruoyu didn't know what she was thinking. After bowing, he said, "Sir, I do have something to discuss with you. Here is our county government's account book. You can take a look at it."

Song Jinshu took the account book in confusion and glanced at two pages at random: "Is there anything wrong with this account book?"

Suddenly she saw the last page and her whole body went numb.

"This, this, this...what's going on?"

Who could tell her why the several thousand taels in the account turned into fifty taels?

"Could it be that our county office has been robbed, County Magistrate Lu?"

She still couldn't believe it. How could so much silver disappear out of thin air?

Lu Ruoyu looked at her jaw dropping in shock, shook her head helplessly, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

But he still knew his limits and knew to stay away from Song Jinshu, otherwise he would get beaten!

"Please understand, Your Excellency, the county has been incurring significant expenses recently. Part of the expenses are taxes paid to the court, part of the expenses are for county construction, and there are also dam construction...canal costs...and labor service wages..."

Lu Ruoyu counted out all the treasures and listed the sources of the expenses one by one.

The more Song Jinshu listened, the colder she felt. She once again realized how poor Jingyang County was!

According to Lu Ruoyu, these expenses are already the minimum standard.

In the nearby county town, one thousand taels is just the minimum.

"So what do we do now?"

Her good mood disappeared in an instant.

Life without money is so sad...

Song Jinshu looked half dead and distraught, which greatly irritated Lu Ruoyu.

He suddenly couldn't bear to throw such a mess to her.

Fortunately, it was just money, and he had plenty of it.

Now that you're here, there's no turning back.

"Now that the treasury is empty, we should either increase income from government properties, or... or increase taxes on the people."

Raising taxes was not something he wanted to see, but in the eyes of all officials, it was the most normal thing.

After all, exploiting the people is the lowest cost option.

"No! No!"
