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

As soon as she stepped into the hall, Song Jinshu saw a fat old man walking up to her and greeting her with a smile.

"Sir Song, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more heroic and your skin is better than before. This..."

"Stop! Stop flattering me!" Song Jinshu ruthlessly interrupted Shi Zhubu.

Shi Zhubu's smile froze on his face, but he adjusted himself quickly and continued to follow them into the house with a shameless smile on his face.

"I wonder what you, sir, have sent me here with? I've troubled the County Magistrate to come personally to look for you. Please pass on the message and I'll be right here. There's no need to trouble the County Magistrate to come personally."

Shi Zhubu looked at the two of them calmly, unable to understand why they wanted him here.

He knew a little about what had happened to Mr. Li San recently, but he didn't take it seriously.

He just needs to focus on managing his own wallet.

Song Jinshu glanced at Lu Ruoyu and realized that he had not yet told Shi Zhubu about the river dam.

She sat on the armchair and explained lightly, "The thing is, our county's river dam hasn't been repaired in two years. County Magistrate Lu went to see it and said it's in danger of collapsing at any time. I came to you this time to find a way to repair it as soon as possible."

Shi Zhubu's heart skipped a beat. Building a river dam is a huge project. How much money will it cost...

Building the dam is imperative. Song Jinshu's life is directly linked to this matter. Even if it means losing everything, she has to give it a try.

Lu Ruoyu knew best what kind of person Shi Zhubu was. It was harder than climbing to the sky to deduct money from him.

This time he specially invited Song Jinshu to come so that the two of them could put pressure on him together.

"Master Shi, my Lord and I are in need of wages for the laborers who will repair the dam. We will decide on the amount today."

"What! Wages?" Shi Zhubu screamed in disbelief and stared at the two of them, as if to say, are you kidding?

Until Song Jinshu nodded, his heart began to ache, and he said with a sad face: "Sir! Building a river dam is a major event that benefits the people. In previous years, the people did not have to pay.

Besides, we don’t have any money in our public account. If we pay them wages, we won’t have enough money to pay for the materials for building the dam.”

"No money left?" Song Jinshu asked in surprise.

That doesn't make sense! She remembered that she had checked the county government accounts on her first day in office, and there were still several thousand taels in it.

Even if the original owner spent money on eating, drinking and having fun, and embezzled public funds, it would be impossible for him to spend it all!

There must be something wrong here.

Shi Zhubu's eyes flickered slightly, but thinking of what Song Jinshu had done before, he was sure that she would not be able to find out.

Even if he found out, he could always blame it on her.

No matter what, Song Jinshu was definitely charged with embezzlement of public funds.

The two people's little tricks did not escape Lu Ruoyu's attention. He frowned, as he still underestimated the two people's greed for money.

One blatantly embezzled public funds, and the other secretly embezzled public funds. It's really a case of the top leading by example!

His eyes deepened slightly as he glanced at Song Jinshu casually. She was bound to take the blame, but it was not unfair.

"Master Shi, have you brought the account books I asked you to bring?" Song Jinshu gritted his teeth.

If the silver was really used up by the original owner, it would have been recorded in the account book, and you can find out by just looking through it.

Shi Zhubu pointed to a thick stack of account books on the desk with a smile and said, "I have brought them all. Please take a look, sir!"

Shi Zhubu was ecstatic. He had expected this day to come, so he had already settled the accounts long ago.

Looking at the fearless Shi Zhubu in front of him, Lu Ruoyu's eyelids twitched. Could it be that the money was really spent by Song Jinshu?

Song Jinshu casually flipped through the accounts, which recorded the county government's expenses for the past three years.

Accounting is not difficult for her. In her previous life, in order to find a good job, she worked hard to pass the Certified Public Accountant exam.

The knowledge learned in the previous life is now useful.

"Bring these accounts to my study later so I can figure out where the 'silver' went!"

Shi Zhubu still greeted him with a smile and was very frank. Song Jinshu couldn't help but wonder if he had an illusion.

I hope that after I check the accounts, he can still face it with a smile.

There is no money in the public account today, but the river dam issue cannot be delayed any longer. Her life depends on it.

"County Magistrate Lu, could you please help me think of a way to communicate with the material suppliers so that they can provide the materials for the dam construction first and then pay them later?"

Lu Ruoyu's face froze. He had always had poor interpersonal relationships and didn't make personal friends. This put him in a difficult position.

"Sir Song, your subordinate..." He was very embarrassed, but this was not something he could promise casually.

After all, the dam is of great importance, and Qian Yi cannot be careless. One negligence will cause the project to be delayed, and it is very likely that hundreds of lives will be lost.

Song Jinshu said calmly with a stern face, "Is it difficult?"

Difficult! Lu Ruoyu wanted to nod, but looking into her eyes, he couldn't say it.

"I will do my best!"

"Well! I believe you!" Song Jinshu noticed his dilemma, but he had to ask someone to do it.

She was not afraid of not being able to repay her debts, as the 100,000 taels in her pocket were still warm.

But she didn't dare to take out the money easily, for fear of being caught, even though she already had a lot of evidence...

"Master Shi, since there's no money in the public account, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? You're the soul of our county government, and everyone's salaries are waiting to be paid by you!

You used to be in charge of the revenue of our county government. How did you manage the money? The court hired you to do things, not just to eat and do nothing…”

Shi Zhubu was secretly mocking Lu Ruoyu for getting a bad job, but the next second he was hit by Song Jinshu's merciless crying. He blinked and didn't react.

How did the fire burn him?

Looking at Song Jinshu, who was younger than his own daughter and pointing at his nose and scolding him, Shi Zhubu felt resentful in his heart.

But a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official, so he didn't dare to refute Song Jinshu and could only admit his mistake.

Song Jinshu saw his resentment but didn't care. The original owner was stupid and was always fooled by him when trying to get money.

Now I have the opportunity to find fault and it feels good to satisfy my urge to talk.

"Alright! Go down and make some money first. Ideally, you can make a hundred taels in half a month, or a thousand taels in a month. If you don't do well again, you'll be fired!"

Song Jinshu imitated the tone of his unscrupulous boss in his previous life, and he felt quite satisfied.

On the other hand, Shi Zhubu had a dazed look on his face. If he had such great ability, why would he have to be so humble and coax her!

Being a historian is much more glorious than being a chief historian.

Shi Zhubu bowed with a look of despair and left.

Lu Ruoyu on the side breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Fortunately, he didn't have to earn a hundred taels in half a month.

"County Magistrate Lu..."

Lu Ruoyu's body stiffened slightly, and he looked up at Song Jinshu: "What do you want, sir?"
