Chapter 744 Good intentions and bad intentions
After the kite-flying competition, parents from both sides took their children home.
As soon as he arrived at the doorstep, neighbors gathered around him, gave him a thumbs up and praised him loudly.
Praise Xianyun for his good teaching and praise Shenhe for his chivalry and integrity.
Xianyun was happy but confused at the same time, not understanding what was going on.
The neighbor's mother-in-law explained the situation, and it turned out that the tour group that specifically targeted the elderly and filial children was a scam!
"The brochures are all fake! The luxurious inn suites are actually just thatched huts built on the roadside. The food is even worse, there's no oil or meat at all!"
"When they asked me to pay, they said I could get a refund if I regretted it. But that was actually a lie! As soon as I said I was going to get a refund, they high-fived and summoned several burly men!"
How could ordinary people have ever seen such a scene? He quickly changed his words and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just took the wrong way!" and ran out quickly.
The elderly who suffered during the trip wiped their tears with grievance, and those who paid money but could not get it back felt sad about the huge amount of Mora they lost.
"What?" Xianyun was furious. "It's outrageous that they use the name of filial piety to do such a fraudulent business!"
She was going to teach that black-hearted brigade a lesson, and then go and mock the Seven Stars who governed Liyue!
"Calm down, calm down!" The old lady next door patted Xianyun's hand and told her not to get angry so quickly.
"That black-hearted boss has taken the initiative to report to the Qianyan Army. When he returned Mora to me, his face was purple and blue, and he kept asking us to plead with the white-haired heroine of Wanmin Hall. Only then did we know that it was Miss Shenhe who helped us secretly!"
"So we came here today to express our gratitude. Miss Shen He is truly a capable and kind-hearted filial disciple! Your family tradition is pure, and you really taught us well!"
Xianyun: "No wonder Shen He signed me up for this tour group for the elderly and filial piety, and then insisted on sending me on a trip abroad. Now I think she must have found out the inside story, so..."
"Oh my! Oh my!" The neighbors quickly caught the key words, "Traveling abroad?! This is incredible! Miss Shen He is really filial!"
"Ah... I don't know if I will be lucky enough to go out and have a look in my lifetime. How much money will it cost... Miss Xianyun, please be careful when you go out."
Xianyun's mouth almost curled up to the sky. "I really can't refuse the children's kindness. Besides, my children who are traveling far away accompanied me. They said they were worried about me traveling alone and wanted to be my exclusive tour guide. Kids nowadays are so clever, hahahaha!"
……
Listening to the lively social scene over there, the Traveler Team and Shen He huddled in the corner, not daring to be discovered.
Paimon: "The atmosphere around Xianyun is so happy that it's almost blooming on the spot."
Shen He: "Master's chatting skills are superb, he is worthy of being a master." When she encountered such a situation, the only solution she could think of was to jump onto the roof and escape quickly.
Kong: "Could it be that Shen He had already discovered that there was something fishy going on with that tour group? It turns out that Shen He, you insisted on canceling the registration at that time, and you had such a long-term and profound meaning."
Su: "Shen He is really good at investigating cases! He must have pretended to be cheated and used the deposit to lure the scammers into being fooled, then used the excuse of asking for the deposit back, and after being rejected, he began to enforce justice!"
Shen He was silent for two seconds and told the truth, "No. It's just that when I went to the boss to return the deposit, he didn't abide by the agreement, so I had to use my fists to solve the problem."
Then, during the violent debt collection process, the boss of the fraud group confessed all his evil deeds, and Shen He simply ordered the other party to return the ill-gotten gains.
Originally this guy still had some hope, but after being beaten three times a day by Shen He who urged him to pay the money, he could no longer bear it.
The swindler was worried that he would have a life to cheat money but not to spend it, so he gritted his teeth and returned all the money he had cheated. He also turned himself in to Qianyan Army, hoping for leniency and protection.
Su clapped his hands, "Our Shen He is the mysterious hero who secretly protects the peace and tranquility of Liyue!"
Shen He did not take credit for it. "It was just something that happened easily."
Seeing Xianyun and the neighbors talking in great spirits, laughing and chatting for longer and longer, Paimeng touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Shall we go home and cook?"
As it was getting dark, Xianyun returned home reluctantly and found that the children had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.
After the Lantern Festival, when families reunited, the Traveler Team stayed in Liyue for a few more days. They either accompanied Shen He to do some secret work, or took Xiao shopping on Taobao.
Su: "Xiao still doesn't like crowded places, so you should buy some interesting toys to enrich your life. I see you like the kite that Zhongli gave you."
"Xiao also likes the Sky Lantern. The Sky Lantern... the kite..." Sora analyzed, "Does Xiao prefer light flying kites?"
Paimon: "It's Xiao after all." It's normal for birds to like things that can fly!
elf:……
Xiao was about to say something but was stunned. He smelled a distant but familiar dangerous bitter scent.
Paimon followed his gaze and looked over. "A pillow? It looks quite ordinary... Why is it so expensive?! Is this pillow made of gold?!"
A very ordinary looking traditional Liyue style cloth pillow stuffed with coarse grains is priced at 3.88 million Mora!
The shopkeeper smiled and explained: "This is not an ordinary pillow. This pillow... has magical properties!"
"Is this a health-preserving pillow that has some special medicinal ingredients added to it? It can help children grow taller and the elderly stay healthy, right?"
"Gimmick, it's all gimmick!" Paimon was unmoved and pulled the curious girl to tell her not to touch it. "Su, you can't touch this kind of thing casually. It will break easily if you touch it! And then they want you to pay for it. This is all a routine."
"Don't do those little tricks. We are a legitimate antique shop." The shopkeeper waved his hands and explained, "This is a magical object recorded in the ancient book "The Pillow Book"!"
"The Huangliang Dream Pillow is made from Huangliang blessed by the power of the demon god through 9981 processes. The user can use this magical pillow to travel in a beautiful dream and have a happy and wonderful time. When you smell this special fragrance, your heart will calm down immediately, right?"
"If you eat well and sleep well, your body will naturally become healthy! In this sense, it is not wrong to say that it is a perfect health pillow."
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said to the obviously interested girl, "If you like it, I'll give you a 10% discount. Do you want it?"
"Wrap it for me..." Before Su could finish his words, his hand was grabbed by Xiao.
Knowing that the girl wanted to give the pillow to him, Xiao rejected the gift in advance, "Things that make people dream continuously are no different from poison to some extent."
Being immersed in an illusory dream for a long time is of no benefit to living in reality.
Xiao turned to the owner of the antique shop and said, "The cultivation of yellow sorghum was expressly prohibited by Liyue law thousands of years ago. Such a large amount cannot be collected from the wild. You are being too blatant."
Ye Lan, who was pretending to shop in the shop across the street, put down the things in his hands and told his subordinates, "It's time to work."
Huangliang Mengzhen and the owner of the antique shop were taken away by Liyue spies.
