Turning around and looking at the stunned Song Zhang behind him, Qin Yao hesitated for half a second, then decisively stuffed the broken bow into his hands and said, "Add another good bow!"

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

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

Qin Yao sat down again, her eyes curved as if she was smiling, "I know what you want to do in this position."

Song Zhang was truly surprised this time, and his expression couldn't be concealed at all.

He sat down with some excitement, and did not forget to put the broken bow away gently. He would take it back for the craftsman to refer to 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 us people and seek benefits for the people, the people will naturally help you."

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

Song Zhang said excitedly: "It depends on whether Madam Qin and I can completely eradicate the malignant tumor in Kaiyang County within a year!"

Having said that, Song Zhang no longer hid his feelings, suppressed his excitement, and said:

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

"Second, clean up the government offices."

“Third, eliminate the bullies.”

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

As for the first point, he had just made some achievements and had opened up a gap in the local gentry who monopolized knowledge.

Later, as long as the school is built, the Ding family can select the teachers.

Qin Yao glanced at Song Zhang, who was full of fighting spirit, in surprise, and said in a matter-of-fact way:

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

The situation inside the government office is a mess, and when someone leaves, someone has to take his place.

However, the reality is that the minor officials who were removed by the county magistrate had to go through a whole set of lengthy procedures. They had to report first and get approval before being dealt with. Then they had to apply for a replacement. By the time the suitable replacement arrived, 80% of Song Zhang's officials had already been transferred.

Qin Yao asked him, "Do you want to show off your political achievements and get promoted? Or do you really want to eliminate harm for the people?"

Song Zhang was frank and said, "I want both."

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

"Also, Mr. Village Waste House, after you have lunch at my house, how about we call the village chief to take a look and decide?"

Her address has changed. She just called me "you" and "mine", but now she is in a hurry to sever ties with me and calls me "sir" and "you".

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

He originally thought that she was a strange person with an eccentric personality who disdained to get involved in worldly affairs.

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

She cared as much about the people as he did.

Qin Yao thought to herself, that’s because I am now what you call a commoner!

If you don't care about your own affairs, do you have to wait until disaster strikes before asking God for help?

If Song Zhangzhong used it, then next time when she bought a manor, she would not encounter such a disgusting person as the Golden Toad.

Although no one in Kaiyang County dares to snatch the manor she has set her eyes on, being active and being passive are two completely different things.

Liu Ji didn't come out to eat lunch, so he asked Awang to bring the food into the house.

Put away the empty bowl in less than a cup of tea, make the most of every minute and every second, and don't dare to waste even a meal.

Otherwise, when Gong Liangliao arrives, he will die a miserable death!

Song Zhang asked again curiously: "Madam Qin, is your husband really okay?"

Qin Yao finished two bowls of rice before taking a break and waving at him, "It's okay, he will die in three days."

Seeing Song Zhang's strange expression, Qin Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, let's eat and talk at the same time. Let's start by dealing with the bully. This is relatively simple."

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

According to Song Zhang's idea, they could just repeat the case of the golden toad and get rid of Wang Mawu and Concubine Pan.

Qin Yao reminded him seriously: "I won't kill anyone for you."

"And what about the golden toad case? I don't know." Qin Yao had an innocent face.

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

But since the other party didn't admit it, he had to be tactful and didn't bring it up again. He immediately changed his words.

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

Song Zhang sighed and said, "After the New Year, the government received another five lawsuits, all of which accused gambling houses and pawnshops of colluding to set up scams to trick people into mortgaging their properties and land for loans, and even tricking people into selling their daughters and wives, causing the other party's family to be ruined."

As for Lady Pan, there was a method called "honey trap" that came from the Lingnan area, and countless people fell into it and were helpless.

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

But how innocent are the family members?

There are also those honest people who were deceived into selling their land and signing heavy leases to become tenants just because their family members were seriously ill and unable to make ends meet or they were illiterate and could not read documents, and the efforts of several generations were wasted.

Song Zhang personally tried five or six such cases, all of which were extremely cruel.

If he had not personally tried the case, the other party would probably have continued to refuse to give in and would have sued the defendant for false accusation, causing him to be beaten with a stick again and then sent to prison.

This was the situation even when the county magistrate was personally conducting the trial. Song Zhang could imagine that if he had handed the case over to his subordinates, the only outcome would have been either compromise or one-sidedness.

However, several personal trials did have some effect. People in gambling houses, pawnshops, and brothels are now much more restrained in their behavior.

Qin Yao didn't expect so many things to happen outside. "I thought Wang Mawu and the others would be more restrained after seeing what happened to the golden toad."

Song Zhang smiled bitterly, she was just overthinking it.

But the situation is different now. Song Zhang said sincerely, "Now that we have Madam Qin's help, I think they should be more restrained."

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

Song Zhang laughed, this was exactly what he meant!

I came to Qin Yao specifically to find a talisman for myself.

After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents, and he was very worried about dying suddenly.

Qin Yao nodded and understood. "Then when we have chosen the abandoned house, I will personally escort you back to the government office."

Every three words she spoke were about the abandoned houses in Liujia Village. Song Zhang couldn't help but be curious and asked her what she was going to do with these abandoned houses.

Qin Yao finished a large bowl of soup, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth elegantly, then stood up and walked to the door, looking at the beautiful small mountain village in the drizzle, and said seriously:

"Build the most beautiful tourist village in Kaiyang County and lead the whole village to a well-off society!"

Awang silently turned his head and glanced at Song Zhang. The young county magistrate's eyes were flashing with tears of excitement.

Oh no, he really believed her lies!
