The two officers exchanged a silent glance before speaking, "No matter whether you dare or not in the future, you have caused us trouble. Because of you, not only did our journey get delayed, but those Shu family members who you choked might also encounter problems. We have to deal with the aftermath."
Shu Yu pursed her lips and asked, "So what do you want?"
"Compensation," the leading officer said. "You should still have some silver on you, right?"
"That's all the money I have left. I promised to reveal the location of the buried silver in Dong'an Prefecture when we reach the Southwest."
The officer replied, "That's a separate matter. Don't you think you should take responsibility for what you did today?"
Shu Yu clenched her teeth and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Not too much, just ten taels of silver."
Shu Yu's expression changed slightly, and she retreated further. She shook her head and said, "That's all I have. I need the silver for my journey to the Southwest."
"When you arrive in the Southwest, you can figure out a way to earn more. Besides, this ten taels of silver isn't for our own use, it's for your benefit. Your emotions are too unstable right now, and what if you harm someone again later? By that time, you won't have any silver for compensation. So we've decided to get you a carriage. Look, from now on, you won't need to walk anymore, and you won't have to be in close proximity to the Shu family."
Shu Yu furrowed her brows and looked astonished. "You want to get me a carriage?"
"Yes."
After a moment of silence, Shu Yu finally spoke, "Then, you go out first, and I'll give it to you."
The two officers left the room, and in no time, they received the ten taels of silver from Shu Yu. Shu Yu hesitated, holding onto the silver ticket for a long time until the leading officer grew impatient and snatched it away.
Shu Yu returned to her room, and the two officers had already left the inn with the ten taels of silver. Although it was quite late, they inquired with the inn's staff and quickly found a carriage and horse shop.
After purchasing a mule and a cart, they went to a carpenter's workshop to buy a wooden cage.
The carpenter's workshop was already closed, but when they saw the officers coming, they hurriedly reopened.
The leading officer looked around and found that the workshop had only a few wooden cages, and they were all small and bulky, not suitable for their purposes.
He was dissatisfied, and the other officer also thought it wasn't ideal.
They planned to go to another workshop, but shortly after they left, they saw an elderly couple carrying a bamboo cage walking ahead.
No, it was made of bamboo, which was lighter and didn't quite look like a prisoner's carriage.
The leading officer stood in place, watching the elderly couple, while the other officer suddenly clasped his hands together and said, "Right, this bamboo cage is not bad. Boss, why don't we go and ask if they're selling it?"
"Hmm, let's go."
The officer approached and stopped the elderly couple.
The elderly couple was startled and nervously asked, "Officers, what can we do for you? We haven't done anything wrong."
"Don't be nervous, old man. I just want to ask, are you selling this wooden cage?"
The elderly couple exchanged glances and nodded, "Yes, we're selling it."
"How much?"
"One tael of silver... or half a tael, half a tael is fine."
"Alright, we'll buy it." He took out half a tael of silver and handed it to the elderly couple.
After receiving the silver, the couple expressed their gratitude and quickly ran off.
The officer hesitated and thought to himself, "..." He was about to ask the couple to carry the cage to the inn for them.
