Turning around and looking at the stunned Song Zhang behind her, Qin Yao hesitated for half a second and decisively handed him the broken bow, "Add another good bow!"

Song Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly in disbelief, hiding the surprise in his eyes.

So, she agreed without even asking what he wanted her to do? !

Qin Yao sat down again, her eyes curled up as if smiling, "I know you want to do something in this position."

Song Zhang was really surprised this time, and his expression could not be concealed at all.

He sat down with some excitement, and did not forget to put the broken bow gently away. He would take it back for the craftsman's reference later.

"What do you know?" he asked.

Qin Yao said: "I can see that you want to be a 'good county magistrate'. As long as you stand on the side of our people and work for the benefit of the people, the people will naturally help you."

"But I still have to remind you that you only have one year. A new county magistrate will come after one year. Will he continue to abide by the rules you set?"

Song Zhang said excitedly: "Then it depends on whether Mrs. Qin and I can completely eradicate the malignant tumors in Kaiyang County within a year!"

Speaking of this, Song Zhang no longer hid it, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said:

"I have three plans. One is to build five new free schools in Kaiyang County."

"Second, clear the yamen."

"Third, get rid of the bullies."

Thanks to Qin Yao, the second and third steps are already halfway completed.

As for the first point, he himself had just achieved a small success and opened a hole in the local gentry who monopolized knowledge.

As long as the school is built in the future, the Ding family can choose the candidate for the master.

Qin Yao unexpectedly glanced at the high-spirited Song Zhang and said matter-of-factly:

"Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. I'm afraid your three plans cannot be completed within one year."

The situation inside the yamen is a mess. When someone goes down, someone must replace him.

However, the reality is that petty officials who have been dismissed by the county magistrate have to go through a long process. They must first report and get approval before they can be dealt with. Then they can apply for replacements. By the time suitable replacements come, 80% of Song Zhang officials have been transferred. gone.

Qin Yao asked him: "Do you want to be promoted through superficial good political achievements? Or do you really want to eliminate harm for the people?"

Song Zhang was honest, "I want them all."

Qin Yao pondered for a moment and added a request, "I won't help you kill anyone."

"Also, Mr. Abandoned House in the village, after you have lunch at my house for a while, we can call the village chief to have a look. How about settling on it?"

Her title has changed. She just returned my love to you and me, but now she is eager to put aside the relationship and become an adult and you.

However, being able to obtain this result has greatly exceeded Song Zhang's expectations.

He originally thought that a foreigner like her had an eccentric personality and did not bother to get involved in mundane things.

Only now did I realize that I had misunderstood her too deeply.

She cares about the people's affairs as much as he does.

Qin Yao said in her heart, that’s because I am now the common people you call me!

If you don’t care about your own affairs, why should you wait until disaster strikes to ask God for help?

If Song Zhangzhong uses it, she won't encounter disgusting people like Golden Toad next time she buys a manor.

Although no one dares to rob the manor she is interested in in Kaiyang County, active and passive are completely different things.

Liu Ji didn't come out to eat lunch, so he asked Awang to take it directly to the room.

Put out the empty bowl before it's time for a cup of tea, seize every minute and don't dare to waste food. Otherwise, when justice comes, he will die miserably!

Song Zhang curiously asked again: "Mrs. Qin, is your husband-in-law really okay?"

Qin Yao finished two bowls of rice first, then rested for a moment and waved to him, "It's okay, he will die in three days."

Seeing Song Zhang's weird expression, Qin Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. Let's talk while eating. Let's start by dealing with the bully. This is easier."

"Okay." Song Zhang looked towards the backyard again, then put aside his distracting thoughts and concentrated on discussing countermeasures with Qin Yao.

According to Song Zhang's intention, the Golden Toad case can be handled in the same way and Wang Mayu and Pan Meiren can be solved.

Qin Yao reminded him seriously: "I will not kill for you."

"And what about the Golden Toad case? I don't know." Qin Yao looked innocent.

Song Zhang coughed twice in embarrassment and thought to himself, who in the whole county doesn't know that you did it?

But since they didn't admit it, he had to understand the situation, so he didn't mention it again and immediately changed his explanation.

"Ms. Qin, in your opinion, how should we deal with the remaining two people?"

Song Zhang sighed: "After the year, the Yamen received five more lawsuits, all of which accused gambling houses and pawnshops of jointly setting up a trap to defraud people into mortgaging their properties and fields for loans, and even defrauding people into selling their daughters to marry off their wives, causing the other party's family to be ruined."

As for Pan Meiren, a method called Immortal Jump came from the Lingnan area, and there were countless people who fell victim to it but were helpless.

Although people who go to gambling houses and brothels are not good people, they deserve to be deceived.

But how innocent is the family?

There are also those honest people who were deceived into selling their fields, signed heavy leases and became tenants just because their relatives were seriously ill and could not read the paperwork, and the efforts of generations were in vain. .

Song Zhang personally tried five or six cases like this, and each of them turned out to be tragic.

If he hadn't personally tried the case, the other party would probably have refused to let him go, and would have accused the defendant of false accusations, asking him to get another beating and then go to jail.

It was such a situation when the magistrate was personally interrogating him. Song Zhang could imagine that if he left it to his subordinates, he would end up in a mess or a one-sided situation.

However, several in-person interrogations have had some effect. People in gambling houses, pawn shops, and brothels have now restrained their behavior a lot.

Qin Yao didn't expect so many things to happen outside, "I thought Wang Mawu and the others would restrain themselves after seeing what happened to Golden Toad."

Song Zhang smiled bitterly, it was entirely because she was overthinking.

But now the situation is different. Song Zhang said sincerely: "Now that Mrs. Qin is helping me, I think they will be more restrained."

Qin Yao asked him not to compliment her and gave her a suggestion, "Sir, why don't you try shutting down gambling houses and brothels first to see how they react?"

Song Zhang laughed, that was exactly what he meant!

I came to Qin Yao specifically to find an amulet for myself.

After all, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. He is very worried about being 'killed' violently.

Qin Yao nodded and understood, "Then I will choose the abandoned house and I will personally take you back to the Yamen."

After talking about the abandoned houses in Liujia Village, Song Zhang couldn't help but be curious and asked her what she wanted to do with these abandoned houses.

Qin Yao finished a large bowl of soup, took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth gracefully. She stood up and came to the door. She looked at the beautiful mountain village in the drizzle and said seriously:

"Create the most beautiful tourist village in Kaiyang County and lead the whole village to become well-off!"

Awang turned his head silently and glanced at Song Zhang. Tears of excitement flashed in the young magistrate's eyes.

Oh no, no, he really believed her!
