Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xiao Xiao remembered; it was indeed this flood, and Shen She almost perished here.

If I could personally witness Shen She's severe injuries, and if I put in a little more effort, I could kill Shen She, which might be a great help to my brother.

Xiao Xiao rushed to the disaster relief site and saw Shen She sitting in a rattan chair, looking down at the water with great interest.

On a huge piece of driftwood on the water, a man in official robes was tied to the middle of the log. He was soaking wet and his face was bluish-purple, clearly having been tortured to the point of near death.

“Lord Shen, I did everything you said. The embezzlement of disaster relief funds was really only done by Chen Ke. I was oppressed by him.”

Seeing that Shen She remained motionless, and that the guards around Shen She were also unmoved, the official immediately began to panic. With a ferocious expression, he shouted at Shen She, "Shen She, you lied to me!"

Shen She propped his chin up, his phoenix eyes looking at the person struggling for their life in the water with a half-smile, his expression languid, showing no concern for the person's life or death.

"Lord Liu, you are mistaken. I just promised that if I survived and did not violate the rules again, I would be spared the death penalty."

Shen She paused for a moment, then continued, "But Lord Liu just killed his colleague. Considering your old age and frail health, I will spare you the death penalty and instead imprison you for a few years. What do you think?"

As soon as Shen She finished speaking, Xiao Xiao noticed that there were still clothes floating under the driftwood, and Lord Liu, who was floating on the driftwood, was still tightly holding onto the rope.

Xiao Xiao thought that Lord Liu was holding onto the rope tightly out of fear of death, but now it seems that Lord Liu may not be as innocent as he said.

The driftwood can only support one person. Whoever survives will be arrested on the spot on the grounds of murdering an official of the imperial court.

So from the very beginning, Shen She never intended to give him and Chen Ke a chance to live, because no matter who survived in the end, they would only face death.

Shen She, however, watched with a leisurely air as the two of them fought tooth and nail in the water for a chance to survive, their faces mangled beyond recognition.

Lord Liu on the driftwood seemed to understand Shen She's meaning, and the rope in his hand gradually loosened. "Shen She, you evil devil, you will not have a good end! If you want to condemn someone, you will always find a reason. You, Shen She, are accusing me of embezzlement, trying to pin this accusation on my head. I, Liu, will prove my innocence with my death and will never let you, you dog, succeed!"

After saying that, he used all his strength to turn the driftwood over again, turning over Chen Ke, who was already dead and whose eyes were wide open.

After several struggles, no more water splashed under the driftwood, indicating that Lord Liu had also drowned.

Xiao Xiao was once again deeply shocked by the scene before her, and stood at the border crossing, no longer moving forward.

Shen She's private torture was enough to make even his most ruthless bodyguards speak out, let alone a frail official.

This Lord Liu clearly drowned his colleague to save his own life, and then blamed the dead man for the crime in an attempt to escape punishment.

Knowing that he could escape death but not punishment, he voluntarily gave up the life he had fought so hard for, and even tried to turn around and bite Shen She before he died.

This will only increase others' prejudice against Shen She and make it even harder for him to win over the public.

A mere prefect and governor from the south dared to embezzle 500,000 taels of disaster relief funds from the imperial court; there must be someone else behind this.

Who could this person be?

Xiao Xiao looked around at everyone present but didn't notice anything unusual.

His gaze paused slightly when it landed on Shen She's captivating phoenix eyes.

Two lives meant nothing to Shen She; he treated human life like dirt, cold and ruthless.

Xiaoxiao would have thought this way before, but now she feels a more complex sense of empathy.

Infamy and good reputation really only depend on what a person says.

Shen She slowly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze from Xiao Xiao, sat up straight in the rattan chair, and said, "You have all seen the fate of the two instigators. I think none of you would want to repeat their mistakes, would you?"

Shen She's voice is clear and gentle, but when he deliberately becomes cold and deep, it can inspire awe.

"This is nature, this is nature."

"There is still sand and gravel in the disaster area that has not been transported today. I will go and deal with it immediately."

……

When everyone saw that Shen She had killed Chen and Liu, who had been bullying others in Nanling, without any regard for their status as relatives of the Empress, they were shocked to see that Chen had been killing them without any regard for their status as relatives of the Empress.

They immediately went from being bystanders to showing great respect for Shen She, and began to actively respond to disaster relief efforts.

Xiao Xiao initially thought that the misery she witnessed in the city was due to Shen She, but later she realized that she might have misunderstood Shen She.

Shen She's tactic of making an example of someone was brilliant, and it also suited his unpredictable and capricious nature.

He pretended to tease the two, making them fight to the death for their lives, and then went back on his word, deliberately causing Liu to commit suicide.

Without lifting a finger, he killed the two ringleaders and also intimidated any disloyal officials present.

"Why is Your Highness looking at me like that?" Shen She shook his head with a smirk, and said in a rather roguish manner, "If Your Highness wants to see, I will take a closer look at you when we return to the palace."

Xiao Xiao's face flushed red, and she muttered in a low voice, "I must have been out of my mind to think that this scoundrel resembles my brother from my past life."

Thinking this to himself, he calmly and strode toward Shen She.

Shen She watched Xiao Xiao approaching quickly, wanting to see how long she would keep up the act.

At the riverbank, a man dressed in dark red official robes, his chest slightly open, looked at the woman walking towards him with a smile that even he himself could not perceive. The woman, dressed in a bright red palace dress, was radiant and elegant. Her sharp gaze and a hint of anger lingered as she strode in.

Xiao Xiao approached Shen She, glared at him, and slapped him across the face. Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, she gently hugged Shen She's waist, burying her head deeply in his chest. "Shen She, I'm not a canary you can pamper..."

A slap followed by a sweet treat—this little girl is better at coaxing people than I imagined, especially me.

Shen She rubbed his cheek, which was still sore from the slap, and gently stroked Xiao Xiao's head. "I know Your Highness is not a caged bird... So, Your Highness doesn't want to act anymore?"
