Chapter 158 Pluto's Reward
Jiang Yutong did send the prescription to the Pluto's Palace. As far as she knew, the Pluto really cared about the people of the Netherworld State. There would definitely be a fierce battle in the near future. Jiang Yutong thought that with this prescription, the people of Yinbai County would suffer less.
But Jiang Yutong also had a trick up her sleeve. She couldn't just give the recipe to someone else for free.
County Magistrate Cui is very angry because he has not got the prescription yet, so he asks Jiang Yutong to go to Pluto's palace to get the prescription back. The key point is whether he can get it back. Will Pluto be so easy to talk to and agree to let Jiang Yutong take back the prescription?
It's definitely impossible.
County Magistrate Cui's face was completely dark at this moment. If such a dangerous thing fell into the hands of Hades, he would have little chance of winning. Now he had to make plans early.
County Magistrate Cui waved his hand at his men and said, "Jiang Yutong has illegally manufactured weapons. Arrest him."
Xia Zhu and his men immediately surrounded Jiang Yutong.
County Magistrate Cui looked at the situation and said, "Jiang Yutong, you dare not disobey my order? I advise you to come with me and think carefully about the contents of the book. When you figure it out, I will let you go."
Jiang Yutong didn't expect that County Magistrate Cui's expression would change immediately.
The two groups formed a standoff, but County Magistrate Cui was an official after all, and most people were still afraid of the soldiers. The workers in the village did not dare to openly protect Jiang Yutong.
Only Xia Zhu and the other two protected Jiang Yutong.
"Sir, please let's talk nicely. You can easily find a pretext to accuse me of a crime. I'm just a small businessman. How dare I manufacture weapons privately?"
"Jiang Yutong, the evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say? Seal this manor. I suspect this is where weapons are illegally manufactured."
County Magistrate Cui brought quite a few people with him today, and he immediately drove everyone together. Anyone who resisted was hit with the hilt of a knife.
Suddenly the village was in chaos.
Jiang Yutong saw that this was not going to work, so she could only pray that Hades was someone she could trust.
Jiang Yutong quickly said, "Sir, let's talk it over. It's not impossible for you to let me go with you. The workers here are all innocent. I beg you to release these people."
Dongmei and Xiazhu immediately shouted, "Girl, no."
Xia Zhu whispered, "Please rest assured, Miss. Sang Ye, Qiu Yue and I will definitely escort you out safely."
Jiang Yutong shook his head and took a step forward towards County Magistrate Cui, "Please, sir, let us go."
County Magistrate Cui said to his men, "Take him away."
At this moment, a voice rang out, "What a lively scene! It seems that I have arrived at the right time."
A man wearing a silver mask swaggered over. Who else could it be but Pluto?
County Magistrate Cui didn't expect Hades to arrive so quickly, so he quickly saluted him and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Jiang Yutong and saw that she was fine. He couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Xiao Yifeng took out a grenade and said, "This morning, the Softening Shop sent someone to deliver this thing. I'm here to ask what it is and how to use it."
County Magistrate Cui's eyes widened as he stared at the tiny, black, egg-like object in Xiao Yifeng's hand. Could such a tiny object have such great power? County Magistrate Cui began to doubt it.
Seeing Xiao Yifeng shaking the grenade in his hand, Jiang Yutong quickly said, "Your Highness, be careful. This thing is extremely powerful. Don't joke with it."
Xiao Yifeng looked at the thing carefully. If this thing was given to him by someone else, he would definitely not believe it, but it was a different story if it was given to him by Jiang Yutong.
Xiao Yifeng smiled, "Miss Jiang, could you please demonstrate it for me and Lord Cui to see?"
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I don't have any left. Only you, Your Highness, have one left. If Your Highness doesn't mind, I can demonstrate it to everyone."
Jiang Yutong still has several of them in his hands, but he definitely can't tell the truth.
Xiao Yifeng smiled and handed over the grenade in his hand, "Then try this one in my hand."
Jiang Yutong always felt strange looking at the Pluto in front of him. Although he was wearing a mask, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Jiang Yutong took the grenade from Xiao Yifeng and said, "Since everyone wants to see it again, I will demonstrate it to you again. Please follow me."
Jiang Yutong led everyone to find another open space, "Everyone be careful, cover your ears."
After saying that, he quickly threw the grenade out.
Soon an explosion sounded, and Xiao Yifeng and County Magistrate Cui were both stunned on the spot, with ecstasy in their eyes. They didn't expect that there was such a good thing. If used properly, it would be a great help.
County Magistrate Cui now wanted to get all of this.
He looked at Jiang Yutong and then at Hades, his expression darkening. This Jiang Yutong was too ungrateful.
Xiao Yifeng clapped his hands. "Great! I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful. I've finally seen it. I'll definitely report to the Emperor. What reward does Miss Jiang want?"
Jiang Yutong said modestly, "As long as I can contribute to Da Qi, this is what a commoner should do."
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Jiang Yutong and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is righteous. In this case, I will tell the emperor the truth. I am sure the emperor will feel relieved."
Jiang Yutong choked. She was just being modest, but the reward she had received was gone?
She couldn't help but look at Hades again, hoping that he would ask again, and she would definitely mention the reward.
Xiao Yifeng felt like laughing when he saw Jiang Yutong's frustrated expression. He said to County Magistrate Cui, "Master Cui, do you also think that Miss Jiang is a rare and extraordinary woman?"
County Magistrate Cui gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Xiao Yifeng continued, "Since Lord Cui has said that Miss Jiang is a rare and extraordinary woman, and this grenade is indeed a valuable item, County Magistrate Cui must reward her well. Thus, I will take the lead and reward Miss Jiang with 5,000 taels of silver, a certain amount of gold and silver jewelry, and a certain amount of silk and satin."
Then Xiao Yifeng looked at County Magistrate Cui again, "Master Cui, what about you?"
Cui Mingzhi's face was already very dark. Not only did he not get Jiang Yutong's prescription, but why did he have to pay for the reward?
Xiao Yifeng patted Cui Mingzhi's shoulder gently. "Lord Cui is a local official. If you find such a good thing in your jurisdiction, the emperor will definitely not forget you. I will also say a few good words for you in front of the emperor."
Cui Mingzhi smiled a smile that was uglier than tears. "Of course, thank you, Your Highness. I'll also reward Miss Jiang with five thousand taels of silver."
Cui Mingzhi's heart was bleeding.
Xiao Yifeng clapped his hands again, "Master Cui is very generous."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yutong received 10,000 taels of silver. The slight dissatisfaction she had felt towards Hades immediately disappeared. Although the reward was not as good as she had expected, it was better than nothing. She smiled at Hades and Lord Cui and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward. Thank you, Lord Cui, for the reward."
Xiao Yifeng couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiang Yutong's eyes narrowed into slits due to her laughter.
Everyone was in an uproar. Just now, Lord Cui looked like he was ready to put Jiang Yutong in jail, but now he immediately changed his mind. It must be said that Hades came at a very good time.
