"Thank you very much!" Su Tai gave Yu Dong a small purse.
Yu Dong dismounted quickly, raised his head high, and presented the small purse.
Captain Li still remembered Yu Dong. After taking the small purse, he looked at him with a little more relief and praised him, "Mrs. Shen is really kind. After not seeing them for a few days, these children seem to have all changed. I almost can't recognize them."
Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, "Captain Li, you are too kind. Now that they have followed our family, they will naturally not be like before. The city is in such a mess now, and you are all here, what should the county magistrate do?"
Captain Li replied as he rode his horse, "The prefect has already reported this problem to the court and has temporarily dispatched a garrison to suppress it. The situation over there is no longer under the control of the county magistrate, so I do not recommend that Madam go there."
Su Tai didn't expect the situation to be so tricky and was inexplicably worried.
After she asked Yu Dong and Yu Bei to speed up, she stopped talking. After a while, seeing that Captain Li didn't talk to her anymore, she secretly entered the gate of time and space.
Since the county town was dangerous, she had to wear some equipment for herself and prepare knives for self-defense for Yu Dong and Yu Bei. In addition, she had to buy some bread, cakes and the like.
Yu Dong and Yu Bei clearly noticed that the carriage had become lighter after Su Tai entered the time and space gate, but they each had their own doubts and did not communicate.
When they were about to enter the city, the carriage returned to its original weight and seemed to be even heavier. Both of them suspected that they were hallucinating.
The carriage was stopped by soldiers at the city gate.
"Stop! No outsiders are allowed to enter the city!"
Captain Li stepped forward and bowed politely, "Soldier, the person in the carriage is the wife of County Magistrate Shen, and also the adopted daughter-in-law of Marquis Yong'an. She is not an outsider."
The officers and soldiers were just stopping her as a routine matter, and after knowing Su Tai's identity, their tone of voice softened a lot.
After entering the city, Yu Dong whispered, "Madam, why are all the shops in the city closed? It's so deserted!"
Even though their hometown town is poor, it is definitely not short of people. This place seems like an empty town.
Su Tai lifted the car curtain and took a look, his expression becoming more solemn.
Since there was no one around, she didn't even lower the curtains.
When the carriage turned the corner, Yu Dong and Yu Bei were both shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Ma'am, there's a fight ahead!"
Su Tai suddenly opened the car curtain and looked at Lu Tong, Chen Yi and others who were surrounded by angry people.
Some of them held sticks, some carried brooms, and they even dared to hit the county magistrate, not to mention Shen Yi, who was hit several times.
Su Tai watched with a cold face for a while and found that those people were organized and were not just causing trouble.
Captain Li was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off. "How can this be! It's getting too much!"
"They make noises like this every day?"
Captain Li withdrew his gaze with a serious expression and looked at Su Tai, his tone becoming more anxious, "No, it was just a protest parade at the beginning, and there were not many people. Someone fanned the flames, and the city became more and more chaotic. The people who wanted to leave left, and the rest stayed here for various reasons. Most of them were lazy hooligans who were lazy and greedy, or people who wanted to fish in troubled waters with ulterior motives, or those who took advantage of those big families.
We can't possibly kill all of these people. Lord Lu has been trying to convince them with reason, but I don't think that will work at all."
Su Tai looked around carefully and said, "I don't think I found Mr. Zhu."
Captain Li pointed to a nearby teahouse and said, "Over there! They are all local bosses, so there is no need for them to show up in person."
Su Tai looked in the direction where Captain Li's hand was pointing, and indeed she saw a few well-dressed people leisurely sitting in a private room of the teahouse drinking tea, which gave them a perfect view of the farce outside the county government office.
"It's good to have money! You can do so many things with just a little money, and in the end you can stay out of it!"
Yu Dong and Yu Bei looked at each other. Both of them noticed Su Tai's anger and lowered their heads.
Su Tai took a deep breath and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the teahouse and join in the fun!"
Captain Li was almost going crazy with anxiety. He didn't know how Su Tai got the mood to drink tea. But he was alone and weak, unable to get close to her, so he could only follow Su Tai.
Su Tai quickly went up to the private room of the teahouse carrying a few bags, and asked Captain Li to order tea while Yu Dong and Yu Bei went to stop the carriage.
She quickly went up to the private room on the second floor, closed the door, entered the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station, filled a bag with copper coins, and took some tools.
At this moment, she was really glad that she had hidden most of her money here so that she could use it whenever she wanted.
When she returned to the box, she heard a burst of wild laughter coming from next door.
"Look, Lu Tong thinks we can't do anything to him just because he's the county magistrate! Look at the way he looks like, hahahaha, he's still a county magistrate! Ugh!"
"That's why we say Master Zhu is the best in Zhaohua County! Lu Tong is still too young to fight us!"
"Come, come, have some tea." Mr. Zhu spoke calmly, his voice full of joy.
Su Tai sneered, and when she saw Captain Li coming in, she signaled him to shut up and move aside.
Then she put on her veil, stood at the window, and threw out all the china in the box.
The loud noises attracted the attention of the people who were making trouble.
That’s about it, Su Tai started to spend money.
When the sharp-eyed people saw it, they shouted excitedly, "It's money! It's money! Grab it!"
Mr. Zhu and a few others stood up in astonishment and watched as 70% of the people rushed towards the teahouse.
At this time, Yu Dong and Yu Bei entered the box.
They are small, so as long as they bend down, they are not afraid of being seen by the people below.
Su Tai asked them to come over and scatter the money.
Then he walked over to Captain Li, handed him a roll of transparent rope, and whispered something in his ear.
Captain Li's eyes widened instantly, "Is this really okay?"
Su Tai's eyes flashed with a cold light, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Now those old fools are bullying my man. I can't bear it! Just do as I say. I'll take the consequences if anything goes wrong!"
Captain Li was excited and nervous. He took the things and quickly left the room.
Yu Dong and Yu Bei were still throwing money around. With so much money, almost all the troublemakers gathered around them, completely forgetting what their original intention was in coming to the county government to cause trouble.
Mr. Zhu and his companions were so angry that they slammed the table and stood up.
"Humph! Such a petty trick! I want to see how long Lu Tong can survive with this method! Let's go!"
Listening to the sound of the door opening next door, Su Tai counted silently in her heart, "One, two, three!"
"Ah!" Waves of wailing were heard, and Su Tai immediately opened the door and rushed out to collect the roll of transparent silk thread.
The guests downstairs only saw Mr. Zhu and his companions tumbling down the stairs one after another, and Su Tai from next door ran out in fear. Everything seemed reasonable.
Captain Li, who was hiding in the dark, exchanged glances with Su Tai and showed up after a long while.
Yu Dong and Yu Bei came out after scattering the money.
The four of them acted as if they were enjoying the fun.
The shopkeeper was terrified and kept calling for help. (End of this chapter)
