She didn't stand on ceremony and collected all the items.
If left in the hands of this corrupt official, he will only line his own pockets and indulge in pleasure.
But once it's in her own hands, she truly lives up to the principle of taking from the people and using it for the people.
After drinking the tea, Magistrate Niu went to see his new concubine, and then immediately went mad and died. The concubine screamed in terror when she saw Magistrate Niu lying on top of her covered in blood.
The entire county government office was in an uproar, and the noise could be heard even in the prison.
Shen Xinglan raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Wanting, instinctively feeling that it was related to her.
Mu Wanting beckoned to the railing with her finger, and Shen Xinglan leaned over, the two chatting across the railing.
Mu Wanting whispered the news to Shen Xinglan, who smiled.
"Thanks to you, Madam."
Mu Wanting muttered, "I don't know anything."
He smiled but didn't expose him.
When the news came, the people of the county were overjoyed, and every family celebrated with a feast. After all, with the corrupt official dead, good days were on the horizon.
Meanwhile, the advisor to Lord Niu had become the county magistrate.
This person is quite kind and righteous. If it weren't for his persuasion, they would probably have been beaten several times by now.
Ordinary people could be beaten to death, let alone these long-distance convicts.
The clerk released everyone, apologized to them, and treated the convicts to a good meal.
"There's nothing I can do, I really can't persuade them otherwise. I'll temporarily take over as magistrate, and during my term I will certainly handle official business fairly and impartially."
Soon, the taxes were even lighter than those levied by the imperial court. His exact words were that Magistrate Niu had previously imposed exorbitant taxes, causing widespread suffering among the people, and that it was time for everyone to rest and recuperate.
Upon hearing this, many of the displaced people returned to their original places.
The Hua family returned home happily.
He happily hugged Mu Wanting.
"I heard that the constable also died. I don't know why, but I always feel that this matter is related to Sister Mu."
Mu Wanting laughed and said, "Don't get me into trouble, that could be a death sentence."
The flower stuck out its tongue.
Mu Wanting offered them food and vegetables, which they declined, but Mu Wanting insisted that they wanted to eat well.
Then Aunt Qin went to cook, and Mu Wanting and Hua'er's family assisted her.
When Mu Wanting and the others left, everyone discovered that each house had enough food to feed a family for a year.
Everyone's face was filled with joy, and Hua'er looked at her mother.
"Mother, this must have been put there by Sister Mu. I always felt that Sister Mu was a very capable person."
Flower Mother made a shushing gesture.
"We don't know who put it there, Flower, is that clear?"
Hua'er was taken aback for a moment, then gave a smiling "hmm".
The convicts would leave food behind in every village they passed through. Although the villagers didn't know why, they were grateful, but no one dared to expose them.
Su Yu, with a blade of grass in his mouth, walked over to Mu Wanting's side.
"Have you noticed how warm and welcoming these people are to us?"
Mu Wanting shrugged: "How would I know?"
Shen Xinglan looked at her with his dark eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.
She didn't know, but who knew, that every night after he fell asleep, she would disappear, and the next morning, there would be grain at the door of every household.
His wife is not only capable, but also has a good conscience.
It's also kind of cute that he says one thing but means another.
As they walked forward, they came to see smoke and fire filling the air ahead, which gave Ma Dazhuang a headache.
"I don't know what kind of bad luck I encountered on this mission."
Mu Wanting couldn't help but laugh. The country was about to perish, that's how it was.
"There used to be military generals guarding the country's borders, but now there are very few left. Even those who are left don't dare to stand out too much."
“Those villains who have always coveted the Great Xia will naturally not let this opportunity pass them by.”
Su Yu also said, "That's right. The key point is that these local officials not only failed to set a good example, but they even led the way in embezzlement, looking like they had made enough money and were about to run away."
"Boss, we're already doing well as long as we're still alive."
Ma Dazhuang: "......"
He wasn't comforted at all.
They wanted to take a detour, but the battlefield was too large, and no matter which way they detoured, they still had to cross that turbulent river.
So, everyone decided to build a bridge.
Fortunately, there were trees nearby, which made it easy for them to build a bridge.
The weapons that Mu Wanting had collected came in handy once again.
Ma Dazhuang once again chose to ignore it.
This river is more than ten meters wide, and it won't be easy for them to cross it.
Mu Wanting did want to teleport, but moving that far in public would either make these officials think she was stupid or she was crazy.
Mu Wanting thought of the hook in her space. Under the cover of the cart, she took out the rope and hook together and had Shen Xinglan throw them to the other side.
Shen Xinglan was indeed amazing. With what seemed like a casual toss, the rope wrapped around the rock several times, and the hook caught on the rock securely.
After the hook caught the rock on the other side, Shen Xinglan wanted to go over, but Mu Wanting stopped her.
“You have difficulty walking, I’ll go.”
Su Yu snorted: "With me here, it's not your turn."
"I am the Flying Swallow of the Capital."
Mu Wanting was amused by the address, and then realized that the address seemed somewhat familiar.
Before she could think it through, Su Yu nimbly crossed over, tied the wooden blocks together, and began building the bridge from that side as well.
The more ropes Shen Xinglan threw over, the more people crossed over.
Only Shen Xinghe and Shen Mingjiao remained from the third branch of the family to protect them.
