Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The two officers looked at each other silently and said, Whether you dare to do it or not, youve brought us trouble. Because of you, not only did we delay our trip, but the people from the Shu family who were strangled by you might also have problems. We still have to deal with the aftermath.

Shu Yu pursed her lips. Then what do you want?

Compensate us. The leading officer said, You should still have some silver on you, right?

Thats the last of my money. I promised to tell you where I buried the silver in the Dongan Province when I reached the southwest.

The officer said, Thats two different things. Arent you going to take responsibility for what you did today?

Shu Yu gritted her teeth. How much do you want?

I dont want much, just ten silver taels (monetary).

Shu Yus expression changed slightly. She shrank back and shook her head. I only have this much. I still need silver when I get to the southwest.

When we reach the southwest, you can think of a way to earn money. Moreover, these ten taels (monetary) of silver are not for our use. Its for you. Your emotions are too unstable now. What if you hurt someone later? At that time, you wont have any money to compensate. So we decided to get you a car. You dont have to walk in the future, and you dont have to be close to the Shu family, right?

Shu Yu furrowed her brows and looked stunned. Get me a car?

Yes.

Shu Yu was silent for a while before she finally spoke. Then, you guys go out first. Ill give it to you.

The two officers left the house and soon received ten taels of silver from Shu Yu.

Shu Yu was very reluctant. The banknote was held in her hand for a long time. It was only when the leading officer became impatient that it was taken away with a swoosh.

Shu Yu returned to her room. The taels (monetary) officers had already left the courier station with ten taels of silver.

Although it was late, they asked the people at the courier station and quickly found a carriage and horse shop that sold mules.

After buying the mules and carts, they went to a carpenter shop to buy wooden cages.

The carpenters shop was closed, but when he saw the official coming over, he quickly got up again.

The leader looked around. There were not many wooden cages in this shop, only three or four. The problem was that they were all very small, heavy, and not cheap.

He was not satisfied, and the other officer also felt that it was not very good.

The two of them planned to go to another shop to take a look. However, not long after they left the door, they saw an old couple carrying a wooden cage and walking forward.

No, it was made of bamboo. Compared to the wooden cage, the hollow bamboo was lighter, and it looked It didnt look like a prison carriage.

The leading officer stood still and looked at the couple. The other officer saw this and suddenly clapped his hands together. Thats right. This bamboo cage is not bad either. Boss, why dont we go up and ask if this bamboo cage is for sale?

Okay, go ahead.

The officer stepped forward and stopped the couple.

The old couple was shocked. When they saw that it was an official, they quickly asked in fear, Officer, what, what orders do you have? We didnt do anything.

Old man, dont be nervous. I just want to ask, are you selling this wooden cage?

The old couple looked at each other and nodded. Sell.

How much?

One tael of silverHalf a tael (monetary) is fine too, half a tael.

Alright, well buy it. He took out half a tael (monetary) of silver and handed it to the old couple.

After the two of them received it, they thanked him profusely and ran away with the silver.

The officer was speechless. He was about to ask the taels (monetary) of them to carry it to the relay station.
