"What's going on? What do you want to do?"

Seeing the guards filing in, each carrying two buckets of swill in their hands, the woman subconsciously stepped back, and the man stood in front of her, watching them warily.

Shen Yuan came over with cotton clothes at this time. Seeing the tense atmosphere, he walked slowly through the guards standing beside him and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm still here. Without my order, they don't dare to embarrass you. .”

Seeing that she was indeed carrying cotton clothes packed with bags, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Shen Yuan, why did they bring so much swill?

"This?" Shen Yuan glanced at the green swill and said calmly, "Of course I will use it to embarrass you later."

She only said that the guards did not dare to embarrass them, but she did not say that she would not embarrass them.

Shen Yuan found a chair and sat down comfortably, looking at the confused couple, tilting her head in confusion.

"You don't think that I can pretend that nothing happened to the person who bullied me just now, and let you control me like a turtle, right?"

"How dare you!!" The man said aggressively, blocking in front of the woman, "You are here to provide relief. If anything happens to our husband and wife, your Shen family shop will be the first to be suspected. The victims will spit on each other. I can drown you all. Do you still want to do business after that? Just dream!"

The girl listened carefully to what he said, she seemed to be really frightened, and her brows began to frown.

"It seems so. What should I do? If I let you go so easily, what will my maid think of me in the future? Otherwise, you will act out a play with me. After the performance, in addition to the cotton-padded clothes you want, I can agree to it again. What do you think of your request, which is not too excessive?"

Both husband and wife are short-sighted people. When they heard that there was such a benefit, Di Liu rolled her eyes and asked Shen Yuan, what kind of drama did she want them to play?

"Simple, you pour all this swill on yourselves. When you go out and are seen by others, just say that you regretted treating my maid like that and poured it on yourself."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. If you don't trust me, I can draw up a document for you with my fingerprint on it. What do you think?"

Shen Yuan waved the guard to hand the document to them. The man was literate, so when he saw the document, he had no problem and whispered to the woman.

The woman pondered for a moment and agreed.

The document had to be fingerprinted by both parties at the same time to be effective. After the couple pressed their fingerprints, Shen Yuan also pressed the document and put it in an envelope and handed it to them.

Just pouring a few buckets of swill on themselves and saying a few words can be exchanged for greater benefits. Both of them feel that it is a good deal.

He did as Shen Yuan said and walked out of the tent area covered in stinky swill, meeting up with Shen Yuan who had been waiting in the empty snow forest all morning.

"Are you freezing? Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Yuan smiled and took out the cotton-padded clothes and the five hundred taels of silver they had said they wanted early in the morning, and threw them in front of them.

When they happily went to get it, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, her face turned completely cold, and she raised her voice and ordered: "Catch these two beasts who stole the relief money!" The man couldn't notice it, first His reaction was to protect the document on his chest, but the guard moved much faster than him. After controlling him, he found the document from his body and handed it to Shen Yuan respectfully.

Shen Yuan took out the fire stick and blew it, then lit it against the document.

"You actually broke your promise?!" The man's heart dropped to the bottom as he watched the document being swallowed up by a large tongue of fire.

The bright yellow firelight illuminated the cold look on Shen Yuan's face, and she sneered when she heard the words: "Breaking your word? Why can't I understand what you are talking about? Have I promised you anything?"

"On the contrary, it's you." She suddenly raised her voice, attracting many people nearby to come and watch.

"I insulted my maid first. I didn't argue with you and gave you the third set of cotton-padded clothes you asked for. Thinking that the place where you live is in such a disaster, it's normal to do something wrong in a moment of impatience. Who would have thought that you would be so pushy? , you even dare to steal the silver used for disaster relief, I will never allow you to be so arrogant!"

The couple were shocked. They didn't expect that Shen Yuan could be so despicable and shameless, so they beat him up.

When the woman saw the onlookers looking at her with disgust and disdain, she immediately panicked: "That's not what she said. Did you see the swill on us? This is what she asked us to pour on ourselves. We..."

Some melon-eaters had seen the couple saying that they had poured swill on themselves, and they frowned and interrupted her.

"Didn't you say before that it was you who poured it on yourself, and now you say it was ordered by Mrs. Pei? Isn't this contradictory?"

"Yes, besides, as Mrs. Pei, if you want to do something to you, and you have to go through so many detours, you don't mean to say that she framed this silver for you, right?"

Everyone obviously didn't believe it, and Shen Yuan pretended to be hurt and aggrieved again. Soon, officials from Dali Temple who had also come to provide relief heard the news, took him away, and asked Shen Yuan to follow him.

Throughout the whole process, Shen Yuan followed the plan at the beginning and answered every detail. In the end, it was determined that the Wangs and his wife had stolen the disaster relief money. When he went to investigate them, he also learned from the victims that they were secretly making cotton clothes and reselling them to wealthy families at high prices. The trade resulted in many victims who could get cotton-padded clothes freezing to death, which is an unforgivable crime.

When Shen Yuan came out of the interrogation tent, her fever became more severe. Zhi Luo, who had changed her clothes, hurriedly put on her hood and told her with emotion that it didn't have to be like this.

"You are mine, of course I cannot let you suffer this kind of injustice."

This is an unusual place. There are many dignitaries who came to provide disaster relief. If you want to punish such rotten people, you can't do whatever you want like before. Therefore, Shen Yuan felt that he didn't perform well this time, and it was a bit regretful.

"If I were in another place, I would definitely let you vent that sullen voice in person."

Pei Zhaoxue followed not far behind her. Seeing that she cared so much about a maid, and remembering her previous indifference to him, he felt ridiculous for no reason.

But he is the only one who is ridiculous.

After resting for almost a day, Shen Yuan learned from Zhiluo early the next morning that her move to help punish the Wangs and his wife had aroused great repercussions among the victims, because by grabbing the couple, they almost pulled out the carrots and took them out. In this regard, Dali Temple found many victims who were reselling cotton-padded clothes, which prevented some victims from freezing to death without being able to get their cotton-padded clothes.

"That's good." Shen Yuan coughed violently, and Pei Zhaoxue happened to come over. Seeing this scene, her heart suddenly lifted, and she walked quickly to her and asked her worriedly, what was wrong with her?

"Do you feel like you have been poisoned? Have you taken anything strange these days?" (End of Chapter)
