Jiang Tuge smiled and said, "Manager Li, we people in Yunzhuang are all grateful. You have done so much, they will definitely appreciate you from the bottom of their hearts."

Manager Li waved his hand, "Ms. Jiang, you can go with me tomorrow. We will take care of each other."

"Okay!" Jiang Tuge nodded in agreement. Since Manager Li had said it, if she refused, she would be refuting his face.

The next day, the two people took a bus to the county seat early in the morning. They, Yunzhuang, were less than half an hour away from Shangcun, but to get to the county seat, they had to walk all morning.

The bumps along the way made Jiang Tuge feel motion sick. Drowsily, the originally moving carriage stopped.

Manager Li was not much better than Jiang Tuge. He waited in the car for a long time before walking to the county government office with the help of old uncle Zhang.

Jiang Tuge was not in a hurry to go in together. Now it should be Manager Li's step to solve the problem.

While waiting, Jiang Tuge looked around boredly. Finally, his eyes stopped under the standing cage. She tightened her eyes and looked at the dried traces.

"Brother Yamen, what are those slightly red marks there?"

Hearing this, the officer took a look. Thinking that she came with the steward just now, he said, "This Yinzi is a steward who committed crimes in the village before."

"That man caused trouble. Lord Hu asked the other brothers to bring him back and put him in the shackles for three days. Unexpectedly, the man in charge fainted and died the next day."

"On the third day, he suddenly urinated blood. Then someone took him away. He is probably still lying at home!"

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge's eyes flashed with shock. However, she did not feel that the manager Wang was pitiful.

If he hadn't bullied people too much and forced Yunzhuang into a desperate situation, how could it have led to what happened next. In the end, it was all his fault.

After about a cup of tea, Manager Li came out with a smile on his face. When Jiang Tuge saw this, he knew that the matter was done.

In this case, she doesn't have to go in anymore, "Manager Li, let's go back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Li stopped Jiang Tuge and said, "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Hu is waiting for you to come in and reply!"

"Master Hu?" Jiang Tuge was stunned for a moment.

Manager Li nodded, "Yes, you should hurry in and follow the Yamen! Mr. Hu wants to see you, which is something no one else can ask for."

"Okay, I understand!" Jiang Tuge nodded and followed the yamen servant who led the way in.

"Mr. Hu has been seen by the common people, and he is well!" Jiang Tuge bowed respectfully to the person sitting on the seat while squatting down.

Master Hu said with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Jiang is here. If it weren't for you this year, I'm afraid your Yunzhuang's farming wouldn't be so good. You've really done a great thing."

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge said with a smile, "Master Hu is ridiculous. The women just did what they should do."

Magistrate Hu smiled and nodded, then looked at Jiang Tuge and said with a half-smile, "This county has already written a document, and will soon deliver this water protection method to Shangjing."

"Ms. Jiang, this is a big event that will honor our ancestors. How about I write your name in? This way the Holy One can also know how this method came about!"

Jiang Tuge looked at the fake smile on Magistrate Hu's face and felt nauseated for a while. Isn't this just testing her? Moreover, it is so obvious. "Master Hu, I'm just a village woman! There's a saying, as big as your belly is, you can eat as much food as you want. I'm afraid civilian women can't bear this blessing, so please, Master Hu, recognize this contribution!"

Magistrate Hu was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Tuge's answer.

"It seems that Mrs. Jiang cherishes blessings. In this case, the county will not force it. But it is you who proposed this method. If not, the county will reward you with ten taels of gold."

After the words fell, the yamen waiting behind him came out with a tray. The tray is even covered with a layer of red cloth, which must have been prepared.

"Ms. Jiang, take it quickly!" Magistrate Hu smiled brightly, his eyes always staring at Jiang Tuge.

His meaning was very clear. Now that he had received the money, this method had nothing to do with her anymore. No matter how much wealth this method brings in the future, it will only belong to him, County Magistrate Hu.

Jiang Tuge had already known what Magistrate Hu was thinking, so she was not shocked. What shocked her was the twelve taels of gold, which she had never thought of before.

According to the current market conditions, these ten taels of gold can be exchanged for hundreds of taels of silver, which is more like an unexpected fortune for Jiang Tuge.

"Ms. Jiang thanked Mr. Hu for his kindness. If Mr. Hu gave it to him, the civilian woman would naturally accept it."

Magistrate Hu raised his eyebrows slightly. This Jiang Tuge is really smart. "In any case, Mrs. Jiang is kind-hearted. If what this county says is right, your blessings are yet to come!"

Jiang Tuge smiled and said, "Master Hu, the folk woman is not talking nonsense. As for this blessing, the folk woman dare not even dream about it. The folk woman is just a woman from the village, how can she be on the stage."

"Sir, Mr. Hu, you are dedicated to the common people, and you will definitely be blessed in the future. By the way, a few days ago, someone in the construction team asked my husband about this method of protecting water. I guess it was you, Mr. Hu, who told me about it!"

Hearing this, Mr. Hu looked a little ugly, "Ms. Jiang, do you mean that someone specifically asked about your husband?"

Jiang Tuge nodded, "Exactly. Judging from your appearance, Mr. Hu, could it be that this person was not sent by you?"

"No!" Mr. Hu's face turned completely gloomy. He finally found a way to get him out of this remote country, and now someone actually came to cut him off.

Who is this person? Could he be the magistrate of another county? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

"Ms. Jiang, did your husband tell that person about this method?"

Jiang Tuge shook his head slightly, "No, my husband is in the construction team on weekdays, so he is rarely in the fields, and he didn't tell others about this method."

Magistrate Hu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Madam Jiang, you must tell your husband when you go back, and you must not tell anyone else about this method, do you understand?"

"Yes, the civilian woman took note of it." Jiang Tuge nodded and didn't say much.

Upon seeing this, Magistrate Hu was a little more satisfied with Jiang Tuge. These days, there are not many women as knowledgeable as her.

Magistrate Hu pretended to be polite to Jiang Tuge, and then said that he had to handle official business. How could Jiang Tuge not know what he meant, so she got up and left knowingly.

Her visit today was not in vain, at least she had been vaccinated by Mr. Hu. Next, we have to see whether the two scholars, including Yang Er, can rein in the situation. (End of chapter)
