Several people looked back and found that the woman had already burst into tears. Their son had already woken up, timidly holding his mother's hand and looking at everyone carefully.

He had never seen such a scene, so he was naturally afraid.

"The child's fever has just subsided, how could you just take the child out like this?" Yao Shu said, immediately wanting the two of them to go back.

But the woman knelt directly in front of Yao Shu, with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"I know that Mrs. Shen wholeheartedly cares for the people. It can be seen from when Mrs. Shen wanted to save my child just now. Mrs. Shen definitely does not want us to be wronged. Now, I want to beg Mrs. Shen to save us. Please The Lord came to save us. We don’t want to continue like this, being oppressed by him day and night. If we don’t pay attention, we will even kill the Nine Clan. We just heard what some officials said, and we know that it turns out that the Nine Clan will be killed. It's not a privilege that a county magistrate can have. But we are in the countryside and we don't know these rules. In addition, there are people behind him, which makes him even more arrogant. If I don't resist, he will bring people here non-stop. Let’s take them away.”

The woman accused the county magistrate one crime after another, her words full of despair and sadness.

Her patience reached the extreme, and now that the safety of her child was involved, she was unwilling to tolerate it any longer.

Hearing this, Yao Shu couldn't help but feel emotional.

If something like this happened to me, I would risk my life to get the whole family out.

"Then do you know where the disaster relief money went?"

When Yao Shu asked this question, the woman immediately looked at her husband.

The husband lowered his head, seeming to be contemplating whether to speak.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, the woman couldn't bear it: "Do you still want to hide it now? You could just tell them where the money went?"

At this moment, everyone realized that her husband held a big official position beside the county magistrate.

He understood that everything the county magistrate did was even handled by him.

Now, after hearing his wife's accusation, he no longer wanted to tolerate it.

He sighed silently: "Actually, all the money was secretly transferred by him. The court officials exploited him layer by layer. In the end, there was not much left in our hands. The money for disaster relief needs to be raised by The money could not be used until the county magistrate signed it, so the county magistrate secretly took away two-thirds of the money and left the remaining one-third to the people."

"What about this time?" Shen Fugui stepped forward anxiously.

His appearance shocked the husband and the woman. They looked at each other subconsciously and did not dare to say the next words.

Yao Shu knew that Shen Fugui was too anxious, so she shocked the two people and said quickly: "You don't have to be afraid, he is just too anxious. He is the official in charge of this disaster relief. If something happens during the disaster relief, It is his sole responsibility.”

"It turns out that this kind-hearted gentleman is the official responsible for the disaster relief. These days, we have seen every move of the gentleman and kept it in our hearts. But because the county magistrate is here, we dare not express our sympathy. Thank you so much for this official." After the woman sighed softly, she took her son to salute with her.

Shen Fugui waved his hand quickly. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept such a great gift.

"This is just what I should do, you must not say that."

"These days, there are adults at every intersection. We know that the adults are thinking about us wholeheartedly, so they will go around to inquire about our current situation. However, we can only thank the adults in our hearts and dare not say it directly. Still Please forgive me, sir, we really don't dare..." The woman's voice was choked, and she couldn't say the next words for a while.

Yao Shu couldn't help but sigh, and said softly: "As a parent official, you have to do your duty with all your heart. We came here to provide disaster relief, and the things we did were all for you. This was not for his own official position, But he is performing his duties. As for the county magistrate you call him, he may be a good official in some ways, but when he wants to use his own laws to squeeze you, it becomes an outright The earth emperor."

Everyone was also in mourning, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort him.

"In this case, you don't need to be afraid, just stay here for now. There happens to be an extra guest room, so you can have a good rest here. We'll talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow, don't think about these things anymore today."

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Shen Fugui tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

His mind was filled with what Yao Shu and others had said just now, and he thought of everyone he had seen on the road these days, and he felt very guilty.

After all, he is the official responsible for disaster relief. Now he sees everyone going through such things, but he has no way to deal with it.

Yao Shu knew that he might not be sleeping, so she put on her clothes and walked to the yard.

Sure enough, he saw Shen Fugui's figure and immediately walked forward.

"What are you thinking about when you're still up so late?"

"I just thought of what the two people said just now, and I really don't know how to respond. I am the disaster relief official, but now not only have I not been able to let everyone have a peaceful rest, I have even lost their money. In fact, I feel a little uneasy. , I don’t know what to say. After all, this is a big challenge for me.”

Yao Shu was very pleased that Shen Fugui had such reflection.

She patted Shen Fugui on the shoulder and nodded in agreement: "It seems that you are indeed reflecting on this matter."

"I have already thought about it, mother, no matter what kind of person is behind the county magistrate, supporting him, I must help everyone solve this matter. No matter who this person is, no matter what his identity is, no matter what No matter what status he has, I will fight him head-on to the end."

After hearing this, Yao Shu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Have you thought about it? If you go against him, maybe all your career will be in vain in the future. You may not be able to continue to be an official in the future, even if you reach the officialdom. , will also be targeted by him."

"So what?" Shen Fugui looked up at the bright moon, "I am an official now, and all I have to do is think about the people. Now, no matter what happens, I will never ignore the people. If I put people in danger just for my own future, how can I feel comfortable in this position?"

Suddenly a breeze blew, as if the heavens were feeling sorry for him.

Yao Shu was extremely pleased and smiled softly.
