In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

The foreman used all his strength, and seeing the gleaming blade about to slash into the witch's neck, he felt a surge of joy.

So this is what a vixen is all about!

Once he wins this credit, he'll at least get a month's worth of food!

However, the expected splatter of blood did not come. He did not even feel the resistance of the blade entering his flesh. He only felt the cold light suddenly disappear and his body suddenly lose all strength, falling heavily forward!

His head buzzed as he stared in disbelief at the ground getting closer and closer. Had he failed? Had he fallen? Had he lost his chance to win? Without food, what would happen to his elderly mother?

With a loud bang!

Everyone saw it: the usually brave squad leader's waist knife vanished instantly, and he fell to the ground in a disheveled state!

They all stopped what they were doing and shifted their gaze from the foreman to the demoness standing on the platform.

The demoness simply shifted her body to the side, thus avoiding the squad leader's attack.

Contrary to expectations of having three heads and six arms and alluring red lips, she possessed a tall and straight figure, black hair and porcelain skin, and bright yet not seductive features. If it weren't for the bloodstains on her clothes, she would have looked like a fairy descended from heaven!

How could someone so handsome do something like kidnapping more than ten households and extorting money from them?

How could someone so beautiful be a ruthless vixen!

Lord Meng noticed the expressions on these people's faces. His expression darkened, and he shouted, "Don't let the witch bewitch your minds! Quickly save the people..."

He paused, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Jiang Mianmian looked at him with a smile: "Lord Meng, what exactly are you trying to do with all this fuss?"

"Tell me, where did you hide all the family heads?"

Upon hearing Lord Meng's words, the women snapped out of their daze.

The old men who were squatting on the platform have all disappeared, replaced by one bleating sheep after another!

A wail suddenly erupted, "Master! My master! How could you be turned into a sheep!"

"Ah, give me back my master! I don't want the sheep!"

Jiang Mianmian forced a smile and asked in surprise, "What master? It's always been sheep. Didn't you say you were here to buy sheep? Lord Meng, what law does selling sheep violate? It's a consensual transaction, why are you calling me a witch right off the bat?"

Lord Meng strode up to her, staring intently into her eyes. "You vixen, you still dare to deny it? When we came in just now, we clearly saw the heads of each family! And so many ladies are here to testify. You still dare to lie?"

"Investigating a case requires evidence, right? What makes you think I'm a witch? Just based on your word? That's a joke! I'm not afraid of numbers!"

Release those slaves and residents from Peach Blossom Spring, and you'll be terrified!

Jiang Mianmian held out her palm to him, "Where's the evidence?"

Lord Meng gritted his teeth and produced a 'letter of peace'. "This is the proof! You set your price and have the ladies bring money to pick up the people!"

"Oh, that's none of my business. I didn't force them to write it. Take a look for yourself and see if it's their own handwriting."

Jiang Mianmian shrugged indifferently and took out a few sheets of paper. "These are the ones with solid evidence. I wonder if Lord Meng should first judge the cases with clear facts and heinous crimes, or if he insists on getting entangled with a peasant girl like me?"

These few sheets of paper are the confession that Master Li personally signed!

His crimes are enough to warrant the confiscation of his property and the beheading of his entire family!

Lord Meng was shocked. "You forced them to write this; it can't possibly be true!"

"Useless trash."

Jiang Mianmian stopped joking and snatched back the confession. It seemed that it was impossible to rely on Meng to punish these people; she would have to do it herself. What a hassle.

She looked coldly at the man surnamed Meng, "No wonder you don't care about the lives of the counties under your jurisdiction. You're both stupid and useless. The evidence is right here, yet you still dare not do anything. Get out of here."

"How dare you! This is outrageous! How dare you speak to me like that!"

Lord Meng was furious and raised his arm to strike.

Before the blow could even land, he felt a chill run through his body. He slowly lowered his head and saw that his official robes were gone! He was left only with his slightly yellowed undergarments!

"Ow!"

He covered his body, slipped into the middle of the constables, grabbed someone at random, and said, "Hurry up and take off your clothes!"

"Huh? My clothes smell terrible..."

"Hurry up!"

The man had no choice but to reluctantly take off his own clothes and drape them over Lord Meng.

After this commotion, Lord Meng had no face to stay any longer and turned to run away.

Upon seeing this, the constables realized they didn't want to confront such a powerful demon fairy, and they all fled in a panic.

Truly, they came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

The ladies, who were counting on them to rescue their master, were filled with despair—

The master has turned into a sheep, and the adults have been stripped naked and run away. What am I going to do?

A group of people huddled in a corner, trembling, no longer daring to yell at Jiang Mianmian.

Jiang Mianmian was tired from frequently using her consciousness to store and retrieve items, and she was too lazy to argue with them anymore. She pointed at Master Yuan and said, "I keep my word. You probably know the price your master charges. I won't read out the confessions one by one. Tomorrow, go to the notice board at the entrance of the yamen and see if the crime is more serious. Prepare more items and send them all to the Yuan family within two days. I will release the person."

After saying that, he didn't even look at them, collected the lambs that were just there to make up the numbers, and got up to go to the backyard.

All the girls who were imprisoned have left. Now, only Granny Cai, Bian Si, and a few of their thugs from the market remain in the iron cage.

These people have done all sorts of bad things. Jiang Mianmian arranged for them to do hard labor with the fourth team of slaves first. As for the punishments they should receive, they can be dealt with by Magistrate Qiao or Magistrate Ye later.

Then pack away everything that could be packed away in the house.

Aside from those iron cages and torture instruments, all that's left is the ill-gotten money and food they've earned.

Jiang Mianmian put these away separately, and Master Yuan came over from the front. "They've all left, and cried for a long time... but they all agreed to send the things to me in two days."

“Alright, starting tomorrow, do as I say, distribute porridge at each entrance, and organize the refugees to find ways to dig cellars.”

If she had the ability, she could naturally dig an underground city, but it was too far from her camp, and she couldn't worry about it too much. She could only explain the pros and cons as clearly as possible.

The two returned to the Yuan family home. Jiang Mianmian took out half of the supplies from the market and said, "We took it from the people and will use it to make porridge."

"Row."

Master Yuan readily agreed, "Shouldn't we take a look at Pei'er's legs now?"

Today's events have completely offended everyone in the prefecture, from top to bottom. But if what this girl said is true, and it can help Pei'er stand up, then it's all worth it!

"Don't rush, I have other things to do."

Jiang Mianmian, carrying stacks of confessions, slipped into the warehouse.
