Chapter 481 Scam
Just as Shen Yi and Murong Xue were walking around to have a look, there was a commotion in front of them.

The two looked around and saw several men cursing around a middle-aged woman who was setting up a stall. The stall in front of the woman was also overturned, and some antique calligraphy and paintings on the stall were scattered all over the floor.

The middle-aged woman was holding a ten-year-old boy in her arms. The boy looked at the men timidly. The woman was talking in a low voice, apparently begging for mercy.

Many onlookers around talked about it.

"What happened?" Murong Xue frowned upon seeing this scene.

"Hey... so pitiful." A stall owner on the right shook his head and sighed.

"Brother, do you know what happened?" Murong Xue looked at the stall owner with a puzzled expression.

The stall owner was a man in his 40s. Hearing this, he glanced at her and said slowly, "The woman is called Zhang Guifang. She is a widow. Before her husband died, she was a poor painter and owed a lot of debt. She died of illness some time ago. The debt fell on the orphans and widows, and these people would come to collect the debt every few days and make trouble, which is really pitiful."

As he spoke, the man sighed again, looking regretful.

When Murong Xue heard this, sympathy suddenly appeared on her face, she looked at Shen Yi and said, "Let's go and have a look!"

Shen Yi took a deep look at the stall owner, nodded, and walked over with Murong Xue.

The man looked at the backs of the two with a sinister smile on his face.

"Smelly woman, I warn you, you must pay me back the money today, or I will let you go around without food." Shen Yi and the two came to the front, and the leader of a man was pointing at the woman and yelling.

"Brother Liu, we orphans and widows really have no money, please give me a few more days!" The middle-aged woman looked at the man pitifully with tears in her eyes.

"Grace? Zhang Guifang, your husband owes me 20 yuan. It's been three months, and you've only repaid 2000 yuan. If this counts, will I have to give you another ten years?" Brother Liu pointed at the woman sullenly. , Spit and said: "Anyway, you must pay me back the money today, or you will transfer your broken house to me."

"No... no way, brother Liu, my son and I will live on the streets if we give you the house, brother Liu, please take pity on us orphans and widows, let us live." Zhang Guifang burst into tears , Kneeling down with a plop, begging for mercy while kowtowing.

"Pity you? Then who will pity me? This is 20." The man said coldly.

Zhang Guifang still kowtowed and begged for mercy. The boy looked at his crying mother and wept too.

"It's really pitiful, the child is so young."

"This man is too cruel. Can't you take pity on this orphan and widow?"

"pitiful……"

The crowd talked a lot, all with sympathetic expressions, but no one really helped.

Seeing this scene, Murong Xue pretended to walk over, but Shen Yi grabbed her wrist.

"Shen Yi?" Murong Xue looked at him suspiciously.

"Wait first." Shen Yi frowned and shook his head.

Murong Xue's expression became even more puzzled, and just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

"Isn't it just 20, there's no need to force people to a dead end!"

Everyone looked around and saw a man in a black suit walking out of the crowd.

"Who are you? It's only natural to pay off debts. Is my collection of debts hindering you?" Brother Liu stared at the man with an unkind expression.

"I'm not someone, I'm just a passer-by who can't stand it, it's only 20, there's no need to do this!" the man said in a deep voice.

"It's only 20? It looks like you are quite rich, so you can pay it back for her!" Brother Liu sneered.

The man glanced at Brother Liu coldly, and under the suspicious eyes of everyone, he walked over to pick up a painting on the ground and looked at it carefully for a while, then he said seriously to Guifang: "Can you sell this painting to me for 20 yuan?" .”

Zhang Guifang was stunned upon hearing this, and looked at the man in astonishment.

"I am Master Mao Chuan's apprentice. This painting seems to me to be a good thing. I want to buy it back and have it appraised by the master. I think you are pitiful, and I won't let you suffer. I haven't learned the master's kung fu. The value of this painting may be If it is higher than 20, it may be worthless, if you are willing to sell 20, I will buy it, so you can pay back the money, how about it?" The man looked at Zhang Guifang seriously.

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked.

"It's actually Master Mao Chuan's apprentice, that's the famous treasure appreciating master of our Pearl."

"This painting is not really valuable, is it?"

"I think it's really a good thing. I heard that the woman's dead husband was a painter, and he may have found a good thing by accident."

"..."

Zhang Guifang was also stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you, thank you for your kindness."

"I don't have that much cash, so I'll give you a check!" The man said as he took out the check and filled it out, as if he was about to fill it out.

"Let me tell you first, I don't accept checks, who knows if it's real or fake, I just want cash." Brother Liu said.

The man frowned when he heard the words, looked at Brother Liu and said, "I'm Master Mao Chuan's apprentice, how could I lie to you? And who has nothing to do with 20 cash in hand."

"Then transfer the money to me." Brother Liu said coldly.

"But my phone is out of battery, and there are no banks around here." The man frowned.

"Then I don't care." Brother Liu folded his arms, looking like a rascal.

The man glared at him angrily, and then looked at the crowd around him: "Who can advance the 20 yuan for me? This painting is mortgaged to you, and I will withdraw the money immediately."

The onlookers looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one spoke for a moment.

20 is not a small amount, and no one is willing to take it out casually.

"I……"

"Clap clap clap..."

Murong Xue was about to speak, but Shen Yi beside her suddenly clapped her hands, and all of a sudden suspicious eyes focused on Shen Yi.

"It's a good show, it's really a good show, if you don't become actors, it's really a loss for the film industry." Shen Yi praised with a smile while applauding.

After the words fell, everyone showed shock. Murong Xue covered her mouth and looked at Brother Liu and the others in astonishment.

She naturally had great trust in Shen Yi, now that she heard what he said, she immediately realized that it was a scam, which made her a little unbelievable.

"What did you say?" The man's heart skipped a beat, but he glared at Shen Yi with an angry look on his face.

Brother Liu and the others also looked at Shen Yi with unfriendly expressions.

"Can you stop acting? Your acting is not bad, but in my opinion, there are still many loopholes."

A sneer twitched at the corner of Shen Yi's mouth, and he said slowly: "First of all, is it necessary to collect debts in front of so many people? Isn't it better to go to the door? Secondly, you can find a good painting in the middle of being brave. Your ability to identify treasures is too good, and it’s a coincidence that you don’t accept checks, and your phone is out of battery, and you can’t borrow it if you don’t have a battery, even if it’s a computer, you can borrow it from the shops around here!
