County Magistrate Wu: "County Magistrate Wu was deeply moved when he heard these words, and felt even more distressed for Lihua. My little sweetheart, you still care about me. Not only do you care about me, but you are also the most hardworking. You even gave birth to a big fat boy for me."

Lihua was very proud when she heard County Magistrate Wu talking about her son. Among the master's many women, hers was the most successful and gave birth to a boy.

Da Niu and others hurried back home.

When Daniu got home, he immediately went to find his mother before he even sat down to rest.

Daniu: "Mom, something went wrong when we were delivering the goods. Daniu told Yuntao the whole story from beginning to end."

Yun Tao frowned as she listened.

Daniu: "Mom, I suspect that it was that Lord Wang who did this. We have only offended him now, and we have never offended anyone else. Besides, other people knew that this supermarket belonged to the governor's daughter, so they dared not touch it at all. But Lord Wang is different. He knows that we are the bosses behind the scenes, and the governor's daughter is just in the open."

Yun Tao: "Daniu, don't say anything careless. He is an official after all, and he can still be on equal footing with the governor. I will handle this matter. Don't talk about who did it. Be careful that the walls have ears. After all, we don't have evidence now. It's better to be careful. Hey, this period is really troubled."

Daniu looked at his mother's worried look and was unable to help.

Daniu: "Mom, what should we do if we have goods to deliver in a few days? Many people don't want to go last time. They all backed out and said they would not go next time no matter how much money they are paid."

Yun Tao: "If they don't go, we'll replace them. This incident has taught us a lesson. In the future, we need a fixed group of people to escort goods. They even need to know martial arts. If they don't know martial arts, just forget it. Those who are thin and weak can also forget it. In addition, everyone should bring weapons in the future. These big swords are equivalent to the tools we give them to work."

Daniu: "Okay, Mom. I understand. I'll do it right away.

Yun Tao sat alone in the hall and thought for a long time, and finally decided to go find the county magistrate.

Yun Tao did what he said and went to find the county magistrate after breakfast.

Magistrate Wu was also very happy to see Yun Tao: "Sister, you are finally here. I said I had something to talk to you about, and you are here."

Yun Tao was also confused when she saw the smiling county magistrate. "Brother Wu, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Magistrate Wu: "I'll talk about my business later. There's no rush. Tell me, why did you come to see me so early in the morning? Is there something wrong? I see you've been in a bad mood recently. Is there anything wrong?"

Yun Tao did not hide anything and told County Magistrate Wu about what happened when Daniu and others delivered the goods.

When Magistrate Wu heard this, he slammed the table in anger and said, "Sister, such a thing actually happened in broad daylight within my jurisdiction. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. Who am I to be so bold as to do such a thing? It is simply outrageous."

Yun Tao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Magistrate Wu say this. "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Wu. However, we have to send a batch of goods to the prefectural capital in the next few days. Can you lend me a few runners, Brother Wu?"

After Yun Tao finished speaking, she took out some of the better-selling goods in the supermarket from her bag and gave them to Magistrate Wu. "These are for the sisters-in-law. I hope Brother Wu will not despise them. These are the ones that women like more."

County Magistrate Wu was worrying about what to buy for Lihua, and then a pillow was sent to him just when he felt sleepy, which made him feel even better.

County Magistrate Wu: "Sister, you are really too polite. Do you really need to bring these things for such a small matter? These rouge and powder are not cheap at first glance. I heard that you opened a supermarket in the city, and your business is still booming."

Yun Tao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Could it be that this gentleman was also thinking about the supermarket? He just said that he had something to ask me, but now he was talking about this matter: "Brother, I am a peasant woman, how could I possibly open a supermarket. It was opened by the governor's daughter, and I just provided her with the source of goods. I only made some money from the price difference, but I didn't make much money."

When County Magistrate Wu heard this, it was just as he expected. The governor's daughter was the real boss behind the scenes. How could Yun Tao, a peasant woman, be the boss? That supermarket could not be built without more than 100,000 taels.

County Magistrate Wu only now remembered what Lihua had told him.

"Sister, you met Lihua last time. Her cousin wants to open a supermarket exactly like hers in the county. Do you think you can supply the supermarket? It's just like you gave the governor a thousand gold coins. Of course, you can continue to make money. I won't interfere. I just want to ask your opinion."

Yun Tao said with difficulty: "Brother, it's not that I won't help you with this matter. Lord Wang from the prefectural city also came to me for this matter. I really can't help you because I signed a contract with the governor's daughter when we supplied the goods. The contract says that I can only supply her, which means that I can't supply goods to other people. If I breach the contract, my compensation will be 100,000 taels of silver, how can I afford it?"

"I don't know if you've been to the supermarket in the city. The governor's daughter spent a lot of money there. If I supply goods everywhere and affect her business, she will come after me. I'm just an ordinary peasant woman. How dare I mess with such a person?"

Magistrate Wu said doubtfully: "Sister, the prefecture sells the prefecture's goods, and the county sells the county's goods. What's the conflict? Besides, everyone relies on their own abilities."

Yun Tao: "Brother, you don't know that the reason why the supermarket in Fucheng is so popular is that many of the products in it are not sold outside. If you say that, I am sure that you have never been to the supermarket in Fucheng. If you said that, you would not ask me such a question."

"There are many rare things in it. If the county town also has them, people in the county town will not run to the provincial capital. The provincial capital will naturally be less famous, and there will not be as many people flowing in, so business will naturally be affected."

"And if a county town opens an identical one, I'm not throwing cold water on them. Many people in county towns can't afford it, and if they open one, the business won't be as good as in the provincial capital, and they may even lose money. This kind of supermarket has certain requirements for cities and places."

When County Magistrate Wu heard Yun Tao say this, he said nothing more. A gentleman should not force others to do things against their will.

After Yuntao left, County Magistrate Wu immediately went to see Lihua and gave all the rouge and powder to her. Lihua was very happy. These rouge and powder were notoriously difficult to buy. I didn't expect the master to be so generous and buy so much at once.
