Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

The change happened too fast. They were about to win the lawsuit, but something like this happened suddenly. They didn't know what to do. The county magistrate was too capricious.

Even Yao Shu failed to respond immediately. She clenched her fists. Could it be that her judgment was wrong?

Officials in Zhangzhou City may not always be able to judge cases impartially, and there are also those who seek bribes.

If this is the case, then her optimism and trust in the government has harmed the village chief. She can't help but be extremely anxious. If she can't think of a way, the blame will fall on the village chief.

Yao Shu quickly thought about countermeasures in her mind. The county magistrate should not be a moody person, and there must be something she had overlooked.

"Nonsense? Nonsense!"

She murmured a few words, and realized in an instant that the county magistrate must have mistakenly thought that the village chief was lying, and believed that the village chief despised the court and disrespected the court officials, so he punished her so severely.

The situation was urgent, and Yao Shu quickly stepped forward and shouted, regardless of her status, which was not suitable for her to take the lead.

"Sir, what the village chief said is true. The fields in Dahe Village can indeed produce twenty stones per mu. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to verify it."

What she said was full of confidence. There were still unharvested crops in Dahe Village. The truth would be known by sending someone to investigate.

Suddenly someone stood up and disturbed the court. The county magistrate looked at Yao Shu unexpectedly and saw that the person who made the noise was a woman. His expression showed a trace of weirdness but no contempt.

"Seriously? Do you know that the rice yield in Zhangzhou's territory is only ten stones per mu, and Dahezhuang is just a newly reclaimed wasteland. If you dare to deceive me, I will not be lenient."

Seeing that she was so confident in what she said, and seeing Tian Jie's obviously panicked eyes, the county magistrate believed her.

It's just that this matter is so unbelievable that he can't believe it. To him, this is a great thing that falls from the sky, a free achievement. He doesn't even dare to think like this in his dreams.

He thought that Ning Quan had lived for more than thirty years, but he had never heard of such a high yield of grain. If this was true, his future official career would definitely be smooth. The more he thought about it, he almost couldn't control the excitement in his heart. .

"Grass people don't dare. It's a newly discovered high-yielding grain. Others probably haven't heard of it yet."

Yao Shu could be said to be the calmest person in the entire court. She was also carefully observing the county magistrate's reaction. When she saw the magistrate's move, she had nothing to worry about.

She believed that no official could resist the temptation of high-yielding grains.

Anyone who is smart can understand the huge benefits contained in it.

"I will take people to Dahe Village now."

Ning Quan quickly made a decision. Even if there was only a slight possibility, he would make a trip. After all, the benefits in front of him were too great and moved people's hearts.

When things developed like this, the punishment of the village chief was naturally dropped. The county magistrate didn't even care about the case. He just wanted to quickly confirm the truth of what Yao Shu said.

At this time, Tian Jie couldn't help but panic. He knew very well what it meant for the county magistrate to go to Dahe Village, and he would definitely have to pay more money by then.

If it weren't for the fact that he was eyeing high-yielding food and still couldn't get it, he wouldn't be resentful and set a fire.

"My lord, since your lord has other important matters and the villain accepts the punishment, I will pay them fifteen taels of silver to settle the case."

"Bah! What are you thinking of? If you want to settle this matter with fifteen taels, there is no way."

The village chief was really fed up with Tian Jie's disgusting expression and couldn't help but curse.

Yao Shu's appearance gave the village chief the confidence. Even if the county magistrate was still present, it would not be so intimidating, and he would not dare to argue loudly.

"This matter will be discussed later."

In fact, the county magistrate has never been angry about this matter. In the face of high-yielding grain crops, this trivial matter can be ignored. If the grain crops can really produce twenty dan per mu, then Tian Jie is guilty of an unforgivable crime and can only be severely punished. Only then can he calm down his anger.

This was undoubtedly Tian Jie's last hope. He knew very well that the case could not be delayed any longer, so he begged unwillingly.

"Sir, I plead guilty and I will pay compensation right now..."

"Come here, take Tian Jie to jail and try him later."

Magistrate Ning frowned and spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a government official stepped forward and blocked Tian Jie's mouth and dragged him down. There was no sign of a splash of struggle.

Things suddenly turned out like this, and the villagers in Dahezhuang were dumbfounded. They had never had such close contact with the county magistrate, and they had no idea how to deal with it, so they retreated to the side.

Even the village chief who was leading the way felt very uneasy. Before that, he had discussed sweet potatoes and potatoes with Yao Shu. He knew that a bad move would bring disaster to the village.

They are now like children holding gold bricks in a busy city. If they encounter officials who want to take the credit for high-yield grain crops, they are afraid that they will be killed and silenced.

After all, the dangers of dealing with a group of refugees are negligible compared to the benefits that high-yielding grains can bring.

Dahe Village is where the refugees who fled have settled. Even if this large group of people disappeared silently, no one would care about it.

At this time, Yao Shu's face was a little solemn. She followed the crowd, constantly thinking about ways to increase their leverage so that the officials above them would not deal with them.

She didn't dare to place her hopes on officials she didn't know. There were very few people who were involved in official circles who were not evil-hearted.

"Old lady, look at this attitude. Isn't the county magistrate helping us make the decision? Why don't you look happy?"

Shen Nanshan was a little confused. He was worried. He didn't think anything was wrong at first. He was even complacent about the closeness of the county magistrate to their village. However, after noticing Yao Shu's condition, his heart became anxious. .

He was afraid that something bad would happen again, so he just wanted to live peacefully.

"It's hard to say. You tell Lao Wu to run back to Wang Chengzhi quickly. Don't attract other people's attention. Take a detour and run back to the village. Just tell Wang Da..."

"Okay, I'll go find Lao Wu right now."

Shen Nanshan nodded seriously, and Shen Fugui was talking with his peers at the back of the team.

After making these arrangements, Yao Shu could finally feel a little more at ease. Since she could no longer make a fortune in silence, she should show it openly in front of everyone, and maybe she could even get a share of the wealth. .

Yao Shu smiled bitterly. If she had not been given a chance to choose, she would not have made such a big gamble.

This is because I have been forced to do nothing.

An hour later, a group of them arrived at the boundary of Dahe Village. This first sight made Magistrate Ning feel something different. He stopped and took a look several times.
