Facing the questioning, the sheriff still smiled calmly: "Miss Qiao, I am serious."

"This is just normal market regulation."

Shen Ruo's eyes turned cold: "Is it normal for the common people to die of illness without being able to buy medicine?"

"Miss Qiao, you are still too young. To do business, you have to make money. This is a matter of course."

The sheriff was still smiling, "Nowadays the plague is raging, and the vendors don't have much medicine left. We can only control the sales by raising prices and avoid looting. Isn't that great?"

"If you really want to blame it, you can only blame those people who are too lazy and don't earn enough money, which leads to the fact that they have no money to buy medicine now. It can't be blamed on me anyway."

"..."

These unreasonable words made Shen Ruo so angry that he couldn't answer for a moment, "You..."

The sheriff took the first step to intercept her words: "If Miss Qiao is all right, and I still have things to do, I will leave first."

With that said, he quickly walked out of the study.

Only Shen Ruo and Wang Junshou's son were left looking at each other, and the housekeeper bowed down and asked, "How does Miss Qiao plan to deal with the young master?"

Shen Ruo snorted coldly: "Take him naked and hang it on the wall!"

Unexpectedly, the butler actually nodded in agreement, called two servants, pressed down the fourth young master of the county mansion, and began to strip his clothes.

"..."

Shen Ruo was too lazy to take a second look at such an eye-catching scene, and strode away.

As soon as she left, those people stopped moving. Young Master Wang pushed the two people on him away, and shouted at the housekeeper furiously: "Are you really going to hang me on the wall?"

The butler nodded and smiled apologetically, "How could this happen? Just now, it was just for Ms. Qiao to see, and after a while, I will let someone else wear a hood and go to the wall instead of you."

He has done a lot of things like this, he is familiar with it.

Shen Ruo didn't care how well they fulfilled her order, Ben just said it casually.

Back in the yard, Liu Chengfeng, who was already in good health, was sitting on a stone bench, basking in the sun, when he saw her rushing in.

He asked with some doubts: "Xiao Shizi said that you went to find Wang Xiaohai. Seeing how angry you are, you didn't get any results?"

Shen Ruo snorted softly, strode to the stone bench opposite him, and sat down: "Don't talk about it, that old guy is very cunning, he can't ask anything, and he makes a lot of nonsense."

Liu Chengfeng laughed: "This sheriff is indeed a talent."

Shen Ruo glared at him, is it time to praise others?

"But now the sheriff is not the most important thing, what is important is the people who have been cured by the plague and myrrh."

Although she is rich and can buy all those medicines, but she is not happy to let her give money to those bastards for nothing.

Liu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, and said with a leisurely smile, "I have a way."

The next day, Li Shichang went to the largest pharmacy in the county, and he wanted to buy tens of thousands of catties of medicine. Then he gave a lot of money as a deposit, and asked to come here to pick up the medicine tomorrow.

Originally, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that he gave such a generous amount of money, he didn't think too much about it, so he agreed with a smile on his face.

Most of the pharmacies in this county are monopolized by the Zhou family, so it is easy to collect medicinal materials in a short period of time.

In just one day, all the required medicines were hauled to the back of the pharmacy.

At night, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to kill, oh no, it is a good time to steal.

It was the curfew time again, no one was on the street, and a black shadow passed by, but no one noticed.

The black shadow skillfully climbed up to the top of the wall, and when he saw that there was no one guarding the yard, he jumped down easily.

Then she followed the corner and searched around, and she easily dodged the occasional servants. After a lot of effort, she finally found the warehouse. With a light pinch of her hand, she broke the fine buckle of the copper lock.

She glanced back to make sure there was no one there, and carefully opened the door of the library a crack, and rushed in.

Inside the warehouse are wooden boxes with medicinal materials, which are neatly stacked. At first, Ruo carefully opened the box to see if it contained the medicinal materials they wanted. Later, thinking of the Zhou family’s unhuman behavior, they simply dumped all the medicine boxes. They are all contained in the space.

After all, her space is just a portable operating room, and the area is not too big. After filling most of the medicinal materials in the warehouse, it will be full.

She glanced at the remaining wooden boxes with a little regret, and was about to leave quietly, when a shout came from outside: "Catch the thief! Someone is stealing!"

Shen Ruo was shocked, she was found! ?

She swiped, came from the door, and opened a small crack, only to find that the thief she mentioned was not herself, and saw that the fire in the backyard on the right was soaring into the sky, almost lighting up a large area of ​​the sky, and it was bright red.

Just now they were shouting to catch the thief, and then the people in the Zhou Mansion panicked again, carrying water to put out the fire, and there was a mess.

Just when Shen Ruo was about to take advantage of the chaos to leave, he saw a black shadow passing over the eaves. He seemed to be carrying someone behind his back. The flames not far away illuminated the figures of the two. Shen Ruo clearly saw the familiar style of clothes, Slightly surprised.

Before she had time to think about it, she rushed out of the warehouse and was about to leave, when she was bumped into by a servant, who shouted in shock, "Come on! Come on! There are thieves here too! Catch the thief!"

Without any hesitation, Shen Ruo jumped into the air, grabbed the protruding eaves of the roof, flipped over, and jumped out of the yard, leaving the noise behind him far away.

She hadn't run far when she saw a corner and bumped into a few people. It was Liu Chengfeng. He looked at the fire in the distance and was shocked: "Miss Qiao, why are you still setting fire?"

Shen Ruo glanced behind and saw that no one was chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and just said: "I didn't let it go, it's not safe here, let's leave first."

Then he took a few more people and ran to a safe place before stopping.

She glanced at the few people brought by Liu Chengfeng, puzzled: "Why do you bring so many people here?"

"If you don't bring some people, how will you remove those medicinal materials?"

Shen Ruo frowned: "Are these people reliable?"

"Someone in their family also got the disease. I heard that they can get the medicine for free, so they won't talk nonsense. Miss Qiao, don't worry."

"..."

Why is she so worried?
The main reason is that this unlucky child has too many troubles on her mind. She waved her hand and sighed on purpose: "The Zhou Mansion was attacked by thieves today, and another fire was set on it. He ran out in a hurry."

"Brothers, I'm really sorry for letting you go for nothing. The money is here for you. Go home quickly."

Although the plan was not achieved, but seeing that there was money to be paid for doing nothing, the few people brought by Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything, so they took the money and left.

When the people walked away, Liu Chengfeng reconfirmed unwillingly: "Is there really nothing?"

The fire is so big, I am afraid that those medicinal materials will also be affected, it is a life-saving medicine.

Shen Ruo knew what he was thinking, and said a word of relief: "Don't worry, the medicine has been removed, what you said just now was just to lie to them."

"Really?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't believe it even more, "But Miss Qiao, how did you do it?"

Shen Ruo smiled: "This is a secret."
