Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

There was a severe drought in the north for three years, and the people in the north did not receive a single grain of rice from the relief food provided by the court!

This made the Yuan family, the Shen family, and the Ye family very angry.

They all ran to the door and cursed the emperor.

If they had received disaster relief food, they would not have starved for two years.

When the drought first broke out, every household in the north had the habit of storing food. When there was no rain for three consecutive months, the people in the north began to save food and went up the mountain to dig tree roots and wild vegetables.

Lasted three years.

So now County Magistrate Huang says that the disaster relief efforts for the people in the south have been meritorious, but where is the food?!

But they didn't see a single one!

The three old ladies sat at the door and cursed until dark. Yuan Laoer and the others couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the three old ladies back into the house.

He said that the people in the south were unaware of this and that they were also victims. They paid for disaster relief grain, but the grain never reached the hands of the people in the north.

After hearing this, the three old ladies listened for a while and then began to curse the county magistrate and the corrupt officials.

The villagers of Lihua Village all stretched their necks to listen to what the three old ladies of the Yuan family were cursing. As they listened, they suddenly realized the truth of the matter.

It turns out that the relief grain they handed over did not reach the people in the north!

Everyone stood at the door and started cursing. The curse spread from one village to another, and the whole town was filled with the same curses.

The people were naturally happy that the court exempted grain taxes. After all, they didn't have to work hard to farm, and most of the grain had to be handed over to the court, and they could also get ten taels of silver.

The people were also very confused by the court's sudden action. After all, it was puzzling that the grain tax was suddenly reduced when the weather in the south was good and there was no disaster.

What the common people didn't know was that the county magistrate had been replaced. When the real county magistrate learned the contents of those stacks of envelopes, he planned to make it up to the common people.

As for how to make up for it, it naturally has to be like the fake county magistrate who wrote a letter to Governor Jiang crying and asking for money.

Can't we make good use of the grasshoppers in a boat?

what?

You said your warehouse was robbed?

The real county magistrate didn't care about all this and continued to cry and complain, saying that the mansion had collapsed again, he was sick and had no money to see a doctor, and he didn't have the strength to look after the granary.

When Magistrate Jiang saw this, he decided to find some money even if he didn't have any and had someone send the silver over overnight.

He also asked the county magistrate Zhen to take good care of the granary.

The granary had long been stolen by Xiao Ci and others and transported to the north overnight.

Isn’t this disaster relief food?

It’s not too much for them to send it over, right?

Although the situation in the north gradually stabilized, the people in the north still could not afford rice, so this granary was a great help.

The granary is still the same granary, but the interior has been replaced. It looks full from the outside, but in fact it has been emptied out long ago.

The real county magistrate was sitting in the Wang family's study, not knowing how to treat the wife and concubines that the fake county magistrate had asked for.

You have to know that he was not married when he was the county magistrate. It was really difficult for him to adapt to the fact that he suddenly had a wife and concubines.

But he also knew that the Wang family was not a good family, and he also knew what the Wang family had done in the past nine years. He planned to play along with the Wang family before the matter was exposed.

Just when County Magistrate Zhen was thinking about this matter, the old lady and the eldest lady of the Wang family came over.

They came here naturally because of Wang Shuiquan's matter.

As soon as she entered the room, she started crying in front of the real county magistrate, leaving the real county magistrate stunned.

Sure enough, he still couldn't adapt to being a husband.

"Master, you have to seek justice for my brother. Qingshuilou is really going too far. They're taking advantage of their good business to steal your brother's business."

After hearing this, the real county magistrate couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Isn't your brother's business doing bad because his chef cooks bad food and charges too much?"

When he was locked in the secret room, he heard his cousin complain to him, saying that the food in the restaurant run by his mother-in-law's brother-in-law was bad and expensive, so when he invited Governor Jiang to dinner, he had to go to Qingshuilou.

"Isn't that the truth? The restaurant your brother runs is indeed not as good as Qingshui Restaurant. Instead of complaining to me, why not ask the chef at your brother's restaurant to improve his cooking skills? I really can't praise the chef's skills.

I wouldn't even feel honored to invite the prefect to dinner."

The eldest lady was stunned and looked up at the real county magistrate with an incredible look.

Why did she feel that the master was different today?

When he heard that something was wrong with her family, he was very concerned. He would help solve the problem whether he could or not.

Old Lady Wang squeezed the eldest lady's hand, signaling her to cry quickly.

The eldest lady was about to burst into tears when she heard the real county magistrate say, "Alright, you guys go out now. I have official business to attend to. Your brother isn't cut out to run a restaurant. Close it now before it loses money. The food is so bad it's embarrassing for me."

Tears stopped in her eyes, not knowing whether to fall or not. The eldest lady looked at Old Lady Wang helplessly and asked what to do next.

"Okay, now that my son-in-law has the support of the prefect, he looks down on our Wang family." Old Lady Wang said with a cold face, watching the real county magistrate's reaction coldly.

But what she didn't know was that the son-in-law in front of her was no longer the county magistrate.

The real county magistrate didn't even raise his head, so naturally he didn't see Madam Wang's expression.

Seeing that the real county magistrate ignored her, Old Lady Wang got so angry that she stood up and left.

The eldest lady hurriedly chased after him.

"The silver that Magistrate Jiang gave isn't enough to compensate the common people. Even with what Master Lu gave, it's only enough to compensate four villages. There are still five villages left."

The real county magistrate was worried because his cousin had embezzled too much of the people's hard-earned money during his tenure, and ten taels of silver was not enough to compensate him.

It can only be blamed on the fact that he was too proud when he won the list, which aroused the jealousy of his cousin.

What the real county magistrate doesn't know is that some people are jealous of you for no reason at all. It could be that you ate one more grain of rice than him, it could be that your clothes have fewer patches, it could be that the shoes on your feet have no holes, it could be that your family had meat tonight. In short, there are many, many reasons.

"Master, the person we rescued turned out to be the real county magistrate. Isn't this such a fate?" A tuft of white hair scratched his scalp.

Xun Jinshu blinked his blue eyes, "He's a good man? You can't take his money."

It thought it could get gold today.

A little disappointed.

"The person who gives money to the common people must be an old man. Taking the money from the common people will be punished by God." The green snake stretched its head.

The reason why Yaoyao came here tonight was because she heard her uncle say in the afternoon that the county magistrate compensated the common people with ten taels of silver, so she guessed that the real county magistrate had returned to his original position.

Seeing that the real county magistrate had fallen asleep on the desk, Yaoyao took out two boxes of gold from the space and placed them in the study.

Seeing his master's behavior, Xun Jinshu was a little puzzled.

"Master, why do you give him gold?"

Yaoyao patted the real county magistrate's head and said with a smile, "This is called returning the property to its original owner. It's also a test for him. I want to see if this real county magistrate will really compensate the people with these two boxes of gold."
