After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

"Thank you so much, I'm very grateful!" Su Tai gave Yu Dong a small purse.

Yu Dong quickly dismounted, raised his head high, and presented the small purse.

Officer Li still remembered Yu Dong. After receiving the small purse, he looked at him with more relief and praised, "Madam Shen is truly kind. These children seem to have all changed after just a few days. I almost didn't recognize them."

Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, "Officer Li, you flatter me. Now that they've joined our family, they naturally won't be like before. The city is in such chaos these days. With you all here, what will the magistrate do?"

As he rode his horse, Constable Li replied, "The Prefect has already reported this issue to the court and temporarily dispatched a garrison to suppress it. The situation there is now beyond the control of the County Magistrate, which is why I do not recommend that Madam go."

Su Tai hadn't expected the situation to be so complicated, and felt inexplicably worried.

After telling Yu Dong and Yu Bei to speed up, she stopped talking. After a while, seeing that Officer Li was no longer talking to her, she secretly entered the portal between time and space.

Since the county town is dangerous, she needs to put on some gear for herself and prepare knives for Yu Dong and Yu Bei to use for self-defense. In addition, she also needs to buy some bread, cakes and other things.

After Su Tai entered the portal, Yu Dong and Yu Bei clearly noticed that the carriage had become lighter, but each of them had their own doubts and did not communicate with each other.

As they approached the city, the carriage regained its initial weight, and even seemed heavier, leading both of them to suspect they were hallucinating.

The carriage was stopped by soldiers at the city gate.

"Halt! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the city!"

Constable Li hurriedly stepped forward and bowed politely, "Sir, the woman in the carriage is the wife of County Magistrate Shen, who is also the goddaughter-in-law of the Marquis of Yong'an. She is not just anyone."

The officers and soldiers were only doing their routine obstruction, and their tone softened considerably after they learned of Su Tai's identity.

After entering the city, Yu Dong whispered, "Madam, all the shops in the city are closed. It's so deserted!"

Even though their hometown town is poor, it certainly doesn't lack people; this place seems like a ghost town.

Su Tai lifted the carriage curtain and glanced around, her expression growing increasingly serious.

Since no one was around, she didn't even lower the carriage curtain.

After the carriage rounded the corner, the scene before them startled both Yu Dong and Yu Bei.

"Madam, a fight has broken out up ahead!"

Su Tai suddenly lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Lu Tong, Shen Yi, and the others who were surrounded by angry people.

Some of them were carrying sticks, others were carrying brooms. They even dared to hit the county magistrate, so Shen Yi was no exception, having already been hit several times.

Su Tai watched for a while with a cold face and then realized that those people were organized and not just causing trouble.

Officer Li was so angry he almost bit his teeth off. "Outrageous! This is getting more and more outrageous!"

"Do they make a scene like this every day?"

Officer Li withdrew his gaze with a solemn expression and looked at Su Tai, his tone becoming more anxious. "No, at first it was just a street protest, and there weren't many people. But some people fanned the flames, and the city became more and more chaotic. The people who wanted to leave all left, and those who remained stayed for various reasons. Most of them were lazy scoundrels and hooligans, or people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, or those who had taken bribes from the wealthy."

"There are so many people, we can't possibly kill them all. Lord Lu has been trying to reason with them, but in my opinion, that's simply not going to work."

Su Tai looked around carefully and said, "I don't think I can find Master Zhu."

Officer Li pointed to a nearby teahouse, "They're over there! They're all local bigwigs, no need for me to show up myself."

Su Tai followed the direction of Constable Li's hand and saw several well-dressed people leisurely sitting in a private room of the teahouse, enjoying a clear view of the farce outside the county government office.

"It's good to be rich! You can make so much trouble with just a little money, and then stay out of it!"

Yu Dong and Yu Bei exchanged a glance, both sensing 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!" Officer Li was almost frantic. He didn't know where Su Tai got the idea to drink tea, but he was alone and powerless and could not get close, so he could only follow Su Tai.

Su Tai carried several bundles and quickly went up to the private room of the teahouse. She asked Constable Li to order tea, and Yu Dong and Yu Bei to stop the carriage.

She quickly went up to the private room on the second floor, closed the door, went into the Time-Space Portal transfer station, filled a bag with copper coins, and took some tools.

At this moment, she was truly grateful that she had hidden most of her money here, so she could access it at any time.

When she returned to the private room, she heard a burst of wild laughter coming from the next room.

"Look at him, Lu Tong thinks he's untouchable just because he's become the magistrate! Look at that bastard, hahaha, a magistrate, my foot! Bah!"

"That's why we say Master Zhu is the number one person in Zhaohua County! Lu Tong is still too green to compete with us!"

"Come, come, have some tea," Master Zhu said casually, his voice full of pleasure.

Su Tai sneered, and when she saw Constable Li enter, she gestured for him to shut up and move aside.

Then she covered her face with a veil, stood by the window, and threw all the porcelain in the private room out.

The loud noises drew the attention of the rioting crowd.

That's about enough, Su Tai started throwing money around.

A sharp-eyed person spotted it and excitedly shouted, "It's money! It's money! Grab it!"

Master Zhu and his companions stood up in astonishment, watching helplessly as seventy percent of the people rushed toward the teahouse.

At this moment, Yu Dong and Yu Bei entered the private room.

They are small, so as long as they crouch down, they are not afraid of being seen by those below.

Su Tai told them to come over and throw money around.

He then walked over to Constable Li, handed him a roll of transparent rope, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Officer Li's eyes widened instantly. "Is this really okay?"

A cold glint flashed in Su Tai's eyes. "I don't offend others unless they offend me. Now those old bastards are bullying my man. I can't stand it! Just do as I say, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Officer Li was both 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 surrounded them, completely forgetting their original intention in causing trouble at the county government office.

The Zhu family members were so angry that they slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

"Hmph! A petty trick! I'd like to see how long Lu Tong can get away with this! Let's go!"

Hearing the sound of the door opening next door, Su Tai silently counted in her mind, "One, two, three!"

"Ah!" A series of wails rang out, and Su Tai immediately opened the door and rushed out to retrieve the roll of transparent silk thread.

The guests below only saw Master Zhu and his companions tumbling down the stairs one after another, while Su Tai from next door was so frightened that she ran out. Everything seemed perfectly reasonable.

Officer Li and Su Tai, who were hiding in the shadows, exchanged a glance before finally showing themselves 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 spectacle.

The shopkeeper was terrified and kept calling for help. (End of Chapter)
