The waiter was at a loss, "Boss, all the doctors in the county have moved out of the city. It will take a long time to go back and forth!"

"What are you waiting for! Send Mr. Zhu and the others to the suburbs as soon as possible!" The shopkeeper was extremely anxious.

Master Zhu was in so much pain that he couldn't move, but he didn't forget to shout, "Someone deliberately used a rope to trip us! Report to the police, report to the police quickly!"

Everyone looked up at Su Tai and the other three who were coming down.

The four of them looked innocent.

Su Tai frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why are you looking at us like that? We ran out only after hearing their shouts. What can we do in such a short time?"

The shopkeeper thought Su Tai was right, so he immediately took people to the second floor to check. Not to mention the rope, not even a strand of hair was found. The floor was clean and dust-free, so there was no possibility of slipping.

The shopkeeper went downstairs in a depressed mood and explained to Master Zhu and the others in a gentle voice, "We have checked and everything is normal. There is no rope. Did you make a mistake, gentlemen?"

"Impossible! I was clearly tripped by a string!" a pot-bellied man shouted in dissatisfaction.

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma.

Su Tai suggested sympathetically, "Boss, since they said so, why don't you send someone to check the teahouse inside and out? To prove your innocence, you can also let the woman take a look at it for me, so as to avoid throwing dirty water on me. I don't want to take the blame."

These people are all wealthy. They have servants and maids to call when they go out, so they have no shortage of maids.

At that moment a maid stood up.

Captain Li angrily shouted, "This is the wife of the county magistrate. Who do you think you are? How dare you touch her?"

The maid knelt down in fear.

Everyone was shocked by Su Tai's identity.

If she was really the wife of the county magistrate, she would have had the motive to attack Mr. Zhu and his men, but the problem was that she rushed out after Mr. Zhu and his men fell from the stairs, so she was not capable of committing a crime. And she was accompanied by two boys, so could it be them?

The shopkeeper thought about something and looked around. He saw a well-dressed woman in the teahouse and hurried over to make a request.

"Can this lady help me?"

The woman sneered and turned around, “The shopkeeper wants me to check on Madam Shen?”

"Hiss!" The shopkeeper gasped and quickly admitted his mistake, "I am short-sighted and did not recognize the county magistrate's wife. Please forgive me, madam!"

"Hmph! A few fools fell down, so what's the big deal? You even dared to search the wife of the county magistrate. I think you are really bold!" Tang raised her chin proudly and criticized the shopkeeper harshly.

The maidservant beside Tang, Pu Shan, exaggerated and said, "It would be fine if they really found something on the wife of the county magistrate. But if they don't, I think this teahouse will go bankrupt!"

The shopkeeper's face turned pale and blue. He couldn't afford to offend anyone here, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Tai. After all, there were so many eyes watching her. The fact that she dared to say that proved that she was innocent.

After thinking it through, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and decisively ordered the waiter to prepare the carriage, then ran to Mr. Zhu and the others to persuade them: "My lords, I will have someone check the teahouse inside and out, including the wing rooms. If there is any problem, I will report it to the authorities and will not delay. What do you think?"

Mr. Zhu and his men were almost pissed off. With the wife of the county magistrate on one side and the wife of the county commissioner on the other, plus they couldn't find the tools to commit the crime, they really didn't dare to go too far. They could only swallow their anger and accept it.

The waiter called for help to transfer the people to stretchers and carry them away.

Their wailing and groaning could be heard all along the way.

As a result, when they reached the door, the people who were picking up money blocked the way and refused to let go. During the pushing and shoving, Mr. Zhu and his companions were accidentally injured again.

Their screams and howls could be heard in the teahouse.

Captain Li was happy now.

Su Tai stood still with the corners of her mouth curled, looking at the shopkeeper who was sweating profusely, "Aren't you going to find someone to check the teahouse inside and out? Go now! I'm waiting for your inspection results here, don't wait until I leave this door to put the blame on me!"

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma.

Tang chuckled, "Mrs. Shen is such a wonderful person! Since the county magistrate's wife has spoken, why don't you go quickly?"

"Yes! I'll do it right away!" The shopkeeper called out all the staff that could be mobilized in the teahouse and searched inside and out. The second floor was really clean, and there was nothing out of place on the first floor.

He immediately came over to Su Tai and apologized for his mistake.

Su Tai waved her hand generously, "I am a magnanimous lady and will not bother with you. Be smarter next time. If you offend the wrong people just for a few rich old men, the consequences will be very serious!"

She seldom abuses her power to pressure others, but this time she was really angry.

The shopkeeper was almost frightened to death, his legs were shaking, and he even forgot how to retreat.

After Su Tai finished teaching the shopkeeper a lesson, she turned around and nodded to Tang with a friendly expression, "Su greets the county magistrate's wife."

"Mrs. Shen, you don't have to be so polite. My maiden name is Tang. I'm older than you. You can call me Sister Tang. If it weren't for your help just now, I don't know what I would have done!" Tang said sincerely, looking at Su Tai with gratitude, "I'm going back to the county government office now. Will you come with me?"

Su Tai nodded, followed Tang out, and turned back to tell Yu Dong and Yu Bei, "You guys just take the carriage to the county government office and wait there."

Yu Dong and Yu Bei obeyed and did as they were told.

As soon as they went to get the carriage, a man sneakily stuffed a hundred dollars and two candied haws into their hands and lured them, saying, "Good kids, uncle wants to ask you something, what were you doing up there just now?"

Yu Dong answered without thinking: "Spread the money! Madam asked us to spread the money."

"What else?"

They both shook their heads, "No more, we'll be out once the money is distributed."

The other party was not satisfied with this answer. Thinking that the child did not understand, he asked bluntly: "I mean, did the county magistrate's wife ask you to trip those people?"

Yu Bei laughed loudly, "Uncle, you are so stupid. We are just throwing money around, how could we possibly trip up those fat guys!"

The man looked a little unhappy. "What about the county magistrate's wife? What is she doing?"

"Tell us to scatter the money!" the two men said in unison, looking at the man as if he were an idiot.

"Uncle, have you finished asking? We are leaving now!" The two men quickly put away the money and licked the candied haws inside and out, so that even if the other party changed his mind, he would not be able to take the things back.

The man was so angry that smoke came out of his head. He watched Yu Dong and Yu Bei pull away in the carriage.

Su Tai and Tang, who had already entered the county government office, quickly ran to the back hall.

Lu Tong, Shen Yi and others were treating the surface wounds.

When I saw them, I quickly rolled up my sleeves.

"Why are you here?" Lu Tong and Shen Yi asked in unison.

Then they looked at each other and looked at their wives somewhat awkwardly. (End of this chapter)
