After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

But how did Zhang Jinxiu know that he was raising money?
"I told my sister, and then she gave me a letter, saying it's dad, you won't be troubled after reading it."

"Shanlan." Magistrate Li touched his daughter's head, "You did a good job this time, but next time you can't tell anyone about everything at home, do you understand?"

"I know." Li Shanlan nodded vigorously. She didn't tell everyone, so she told Sister Jinyue.

"Okay, go find your mother." Magistrate Li touched his daughter's head again, and then began to think to himself.

After thinking for a while, he strode out.

The county magistrate's compromise never came, and the merchants' patience was about to run out. Zhang Jinxiu's money happened to be almost used up.

So the next day, when the people finished their work and went to line up for meals as usual, Zhang Jinxiu told them that the money donated by the merchants had been used up and he could no longer cook for them in the future.

It was said that after eating this meal, there was no next meal, and everyone suddenly felt that the rice in their hands no longer tasted good.

Someone else asked in a low voice, "Can you persuade the businessmen to donate more?"

When everyone heard this, although they didn't say anything, the light in their eyes already expressed their meaning.

Zhang Jinxiu pondered for a moment, with a confused look on his face: "Businessmen do have intentions, but if they cannot make ends meet, it will be difficult for them."

The light in everyone's eyes dimmed when they heard this.

"However, the main reason is that there are too many miscellaneous tax items. If the county magistrate can agree to their request and reduce or reduce part of the business tax, the businessmen should agree."

After hearing "but", the hope in everyone's eyes lit up again. When they heard about commercial tax reduction, they were all confused.

The only thing I understand is that the county magistrate exempted the businessman from taxes, so they would have food to eat, but the county magistrate was unwilling.

There were officials watching nearby. The migrant workers did not dare to say anything on their faces, but they obviously hated Magistrate Li in their hearts.

People are not afraid of not having it, but they are afraid of losing it after having it.

Back in the village, Zhang Jinxiu still said the same thing. After hearing this, the villagers looked very sad. Although they did not dare to say anything, they felt in their hearts that the county magistrate was not a good official.

These days, all the officials are well fed, so why would they care about the lives of ordinary people like them!

Zhang Jinxiu looked at the villagers with different expressions, his eyes full of contempt, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

These people were very timid and probably did not dare to have a direct conflict with the officials, so she did not expect them to rise up in resistance from the beginning. Her real target was the group of people serving as corvees.

When a few more people die, the emotions they have suppressed these days will reach their peak. If someone gets excited and takes the lead, it will explode.

After all, who wants to die?
Zhang Jinxiu looked at Zhang Jinxiu with cold eyes, never expecting that she would incite the people to go against the government.

Due to the people's natural fear of the government, they should not dare to do anything in the short term, but this may not be the case over time.

Emotions will accumulate, and when they reach the critical point, they will explode like firecrackers.

She really wanted to say a few words for Magistrate Li, but these people were so angry right now that they probably wouldn't listen.

Judging from the last exchange, some people under the county magistrate were dishonest, which is why County Magistrate Li found out about this so late and is very passive now.

Now there is no news from the government, so the county magistrate may not have his own plan.It would be bad if she did something bad!How about going to town tomorrow and asking about the situation?

Seeing Zhang Jinxiu leaving, Zhang Jinyue also turned around and left. On the way home, he bumped into Gu Yuncheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see." Zhang Jinyue took the lead in saying hello, "What have you been busy with recently?".

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Gu Yuncheng's face looked a little unnatural. If it hadn't been for the accident, they would both be talking about marriage.

But his mother's face changed drastically when she heard about the black-clad killer. She hurriedly went out and told him when she came back that they probably had to leave Xinghua Village.

In order not to implicate other people, his marriage to Zhang Jinyue had to be carefully considered.

The two faced each other, speechless for a moment.

In the end, it was Gu Yuncheng who spoke first, "I'm leaving Xinghua Village."

"Why?" Zhang Jinyue was a little surprised, "Did something happen to the Gu family?"

According to the plot, Gu Yuncheng's death disaster should have been over, and now he is about to leave suddenly. Is there something happening in the Gu family that she doesn't know about?
"It's about my life experience. Only then did I realize that I am not my mother's biological child." Gu Yuncheng said with difficulty: "My mother said she would take me to Beijing."

This is Dean Wang's trick. Since it's no longer safe to remain anonymous, it's better to just jump on the other person's face openly, so that the other person will be more aggressive.

"Are you General Qi's child?"

The system once revealed to her that the son of a friend Yang Wanli was looking for was in Xinghua Village. At that time, she just wanted to expose Qiu Qingquan's conspiracy and didn't think much about it.Now that Gu Yuncheng said this, she instantly connected the two things.

"How do you know?" Gu Yuncheng was a little stunned. His mother had been hiding this from him, and she only told him recently when the killer came to his door.

Zhang Jinyue quickly made an excuse: "I have been to Fucheng once, and I heard something that Mr. Yang Wanli has been looking for the son of a good friend."

He paused for a moment and continued: "Mr. Yang personally came to Xinghua Village some time ago. I guessed that there should be clues, but for some reason she returned empty-handed. Now that you are talking about this... I’m also guessing.”

Gu Yuncheng then remembered that he had met Mr. Yang when he came down the mountain that day, but he had never cared much about irrelevant people and things, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Anyway...my mother is taking me to Beijing, so our marriage is on hold for the time being." Gu Yuncheng said, his eyes drifting over, trying to secretly take a look at her face.

There was no look of loss or sadness on Zhang Jinyue's face, and he was in a low mood.

The day she opened her heart to him, he thought she also had a crush on him.

The way Gu Yuncheng drooped his head looked like a big dog that couldn't get a bone, which made people's hearts soften.

Zhang Jinyue thought that Gu Yuncheng was worried about his future, and comforted him: "I haven't been to the capital yet. It's good to go out for a walk, but you have to remember to protect yourself along the way."

Gu Yuncheng's mood improved a little. He looked at Zhang Jinyue's face seriously. For a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said solemnly: "Can you not get married in these three years? I will come back to marry you in three years."

"what?"

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Jinyue looked at the erect and handsome young man in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
