The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 144 I'm so happy

The main hall of the county government office.

The magistrate, wearing a mink hat and with a bruised and swollen face, closed his eyes, took deep breaths, and tried his best to suppress his temper.

Chen Li and his subordinates were sitting below.

"What are we going to do now! There are so many people in the county government office, we can't go without food!"

"Then let them all leave! All they do is ask what to do all day long. What use are you to me?!" the magistrate roared.

The subordinate murmured and lowered his head.

Chen Li remained relatively calm because his money wasn't lost. However, he knew about Yue Heqiu's predicament and knew that it was not the right time to bring up money.

"How is it outside now?" Yue Heqiu asked.

"Two yamen runners were sent out to inquire. Two groups of people came to provide disaster relief. One was from Yun'an Prefecture, and the other was from Xinglin Hall."

“Xinglin Hall!” Yue Heqiu’s eyes lit up.

“Xinglintang Medical Clinics are all over Daliang, with top-notch doctors. With them around, the epidemic problem can probably be solved,” Chen Li analyzed.

Yue Heqiu nodded silently.

"Shouldn't we go out now?" a subordinate asked tentatively, looking up at the magistrate.

"What can we do if we don't go out? There are so many people, are we going to starve to death?" Yue Heqiu said.

“However, with Xinglin Hall here, there’s no need to worry about the epidemic…” Yue Heqiu said softly.

"My lord, if the epidemic is over, the imperial court will hold us accountable, won't it?"

Yue Heqiu narrowed his eyes. "Where is Registrar Zhang?"

"He stayed outside to control the situation; I heard he fell ill," the subordinate replied.

"Then let's not let him have his way." Yue Heqiu gradually calmed down and carefully considered the situation.

What the common people say doesn't matter. As long as there's no concrete evidence, at most it can be considered that he failed in his duties as county magistrate. The real concern is that the registrar might have some evidence against him. So, if he wants to go back to be the county magistrate, he still has to get rid of this old man.

“He has contracted the plague…” Before his subordinate could say anything more, Chen Li pulled him back, signaling him to shut up.

Unlike the county magistrate, Chen Li had his own thoughts. He didn't think the county magistrate could escape this time. Even if the registrar was dead, Xinglin Hall was still a reputable and respected institution, and they would definitely tell the truth about what they saw.

I still have some money on hand, so I should take my family and find an opportunity to run away as soon as possible.

…………

Unaware of the magistrate's ulterior motives, Lin Yan finally got out of bed.

Open the door and look outside; everything is in perfect order.

"Hmm." Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Lin Yan! You're finally up!" Fu Bo glanced at her, put his hands on his hips, and stared at her resentfully.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that!"

Fu Bo sighed. He had thought it was none of his business and was about to go back to sleep, but Yu Wenxuan called him to unload the goods, and he worked until noon.

Just as I was about to rest, I saw Lin Yan come out of the house looking refreshed, even stretching.

Lin Yan laughed heartily after hearing Fu Bo's complaints, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The capable should do more work, the capable should do more work."

“No, you’re the capable one.” Fu Bo wouldn’t listen to that.

“Hey, I went to do something really important yesterday.”

"what?"

"you guess!"

Fu Bo: "..."

…………

Lin Yan went to check on Li Zhongwei again; only he and Yu Dingxin were in the room. Li Zhongwei was sharing his experiences, while Yu Dingxin was holding a book and writing something.

When Li Zhongwei saw her come in, he smiled and said, "You're awake."

Lin Yan nodded.

"What exactly did you do yesterday? You even asked me for sleeping incense," Li Zhongwei asked curiously.

Lin Yan sat on the stool and poured herself a glass of water. "Didn't I say? To be chivalrous and righteous!"

"I'm asking who your boyfriend is," Li Zhongwei said, rolling his eyes at her.

"The county magistrate?" Li Zhongwei guessed that was it. He'd heard tales of this magistrate's exploits since the beginning, and he himself wanted to teach him a lesson.

Lin Yan nodded gently.

Li Zhongwei wasn't surprised; he wasn't surprised that Lin Yan was causing him trouble.

However, he still asked, "You didn't do anything drastic, did you? If the county magistrate dies under mysterious circumstances, the imperial court will definitely investigate. It'll either be these refugees or us who came to provide disaster relief."

"No, how could that be? It wasn't excessive at all. I just beat him up, cleaned his room, and shaved his hair."

"Cleaning the room?! Getting a haircut?!" Li Zhongwei exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yes! Clean out his vault.” Lin Yan nodded innocently.

Li Zhongwei's lips twitched. "Clean the vault..."

"Then what is a haircut?"

"I shaved his head bald and didn't grow a beard either," Lin Yan said with a grin.

Li Zhongwei: "…………"

How much did you take from him?

"I don't know, I took them all. I was too tired when I got back yesterday, I just fell asleep and didn't count them yet."

"Take it all? You're pretty ruthless!" Li Zhongwei laughed. He had no idea how much Lin Yan meant by "take it all." Anyway, since she could carry it all back by herself, it must be limited, or it was all in silver notes, something convenient to carry.

"I bet he'll be furious when he sees this today." Li Zhongwei couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the county magistrate.

“Indeed. Enough to make him vomit blood.” Lin Yan nodded in agreement. She had taken all the silver, grain, firewood, and charcoal, her main goal being to make the magistrate share the hardships with the people.

“But he deserves it. Let me tell you, you have no idea how much money he’s made. He must have been preying on ordinary people all the time. I even found a list of the officials he bribed,” Lin Yan complained to Li Zhongwei.

"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master, look at this case! I haven't had a good way to cure it..." Yu Dingxin looked up from his notebook and asked Li Zhongwei a question.

After listening to Li Zhongwei, the two began to discuss it.

Lin Yan sat to the side and listened, occasionally asking questions.

"Enough! Are you ever going to stop? Go back and ask your father!" Even at lunchtime, Yu Dingxin showed no sign of stopping, completely absorbed in his medical studies.

Li Zhongwei pushed him away, showing extreme disgust.

“My father and you often disagree, and I think each has its own advantages!” Yu Dingxin commented.

He didn't see the sinister look in Li Zhongwei's eyes.

"What did you say."

"Uh." Although Yu Dingxin was obsessed with medicine, he was not stupid because he had been doing business with his family. At this moment, he was well aware of Li Zhongwei's expression.

"Uncle-Master, your prescriptions are always so concise and to the point, unlike my father's." Yu Dingxin immediately began to praise.

"Hmph. Of course, who's as long-winded as him? By the time he's cured, he'll be dead."

Lin Yan watched the show with amusement. It seemed that the old master of the Yu family disagreed with Li Zhongwei on medical skills. Logically speaking, these two were from the same school, so this shouldn't be the case.

If he had Yu Dingxin's eagerness to learn, Li Zhongwei would have shed a tear of admiration! But he still couldn't bear to make him work too hard.

"Yeah, I'm so great. Tsk."
