Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

"No...no! You misunderstood. I'm not..."

Mei Fugui secretly thought that he had spoken too much, and when he wanted to explain, Bai Tingyun raised his hand and interrupted.

During the rest of the journey, I didn't dare to say any more slanderous words. It was obvious that there was a young man next to me, but his aura was much more terrifying than that of the mayor.

"..."

Luo Xi, who was assembling the parts of the threshing machine, suddenly heard the earth-shattering cry from the Luo family across the street.

"Master officer, please take that beast away. Not only did she beat my grandma, but she also beat several of her uncles! She robbed the family of rice and food..."

"Master officer, please capture that beast and make decisions for the women and their families!"

Luo Xi heard the sound and looked at Lu Yunjin, who had stopped. The latter's eyes moved faintly, and he pointedly said: "The person you were waiting for... is here!"

Luo Xi just smiled and said nothing.

A moment later, there was a knock on the Lu family's thatched courtyard. She went to open the door and looked at a group of people outside the courtyard in surprise, "Are you okay?"

Bai Tingyun looked at the bright young man in front of him, and his first words were: "You are different from what others say."

Luo Xi raised her eyebrows and said suddenly: "You came to see me?"

Without waiting for Bai Tingyun to speak, he continued: "Come in and talk! I still have something to do that I can't move away from."

The prepared rhythm was disrupted. Bai Tingyun choked. The courtyard was too small. He ordered his subordinates to wait outside and came to the courtyard alone.

Looking into Lu Yunjin's eyes, who was watching him quietly, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes when he saw the young man sitting in a wheelchair and unable to walk.

Smiling and saying hello: "Chief Lu, you're fine."

Lu Yunjin sat down and made a scholarly salute: "Thank you so much, magistrate, for your concern. Everything is fine with me."

Bai Tingyun felt a pang of regret when such a young man with outstanding literary talents became disabled and would never have an official career in his life.

"If you want to say that Yun Jin was able to save her life at the hands of her stepmother, she must thank the county magistrate."

In his previous life, if Bai Tingyun, who had just taken office, had not heard about him and sent people to the countryside to stop him, he might have died early at the hands of his vicious stepmother.

Due to the different factions of the two people, he never had the chance to repay this life-saving grace in his previous life. In this life, he does not intend to follow the same old path and have the opportunity to repay this kindness.

"It's nothing, it's all what I should do!" Bai Tingyun didn't want to mention the young man's sadness anymore, so he changed the subject.

Looking at the wood he was tinkering with, he asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yunjin glanced at Luo Xi calmly, and replied generously: "Threshing machine."

Luo Xi answered with a smile: "The yield of rice is 100 jins per mu, and the yield of corn is even more, around 500 jins. There are two crops per year. When receiving the goods, the corn particles can be peeled off the human hand."

"We both wondered if there were any farm tools that could replace manpower, and we researched the threshing machine."

Bai Tingyun asked casually to change the subject, but he didn't expect to get an answer that surprised him. He stood up from the stone bench——

Looking at the semi-finished product in Lu Yunjin's hand with shining eyes, he couldn't wait to ask: "What's the result? Was it successful?"

Lu Yunjin said with a smile: "There is no problem in theory, we are putting it into practice."

Next, Bai Tingyun completely forgot what he was here for, and kept asking questions around Luo Xi and Lu Yunjin.

Luo Xi picked up the principles she could answer and answered. As for the core technology, she didn't say a word.

Even so, Bai Tingyun sighed greatly, and the curiosity in his heart could no longer be suppressed:

"According to what I have found, you have never been exposed to the pharmacology used in hair dyes or agricultural tools such as threshing machines. Can you explain where you learned them?"

Luo Xi thought to herself: Here we come!

He took out the words he had prepared a long time ago and said meaningfully: "Since you have checked me, you should know where I studied."

He shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly, "It's not surprising that you know this!"

Bai Tingyun remembered that Luo Xi was sold by her family to an old Taoist when she was a child, and she learned skills from the old Taoist these years.

Legend has it that the Taoist priest has the ability to control the wind and rain and determine good and bad luck, but according to his investigation, the Taoist priest is a liar.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hacked to death by a butcher three months ago.

Could it be that the information I found was wrong?

He tentatively said: "I have never heard that the Taoist priest is proficient in anything other than divination."

Luo Xi raised her chin very proudly: "What is this-"

"My master knows a lot. He is devoted to the Tao, and this has been passed down to me and my junior sister in the world."

His voice suddenly changed and his tone was low: "It's a pity that Junior Sister is accompanying Master...to reach the Bliss first."

Looking at Luo Xi, who was so lively and charming that she was as smart as Bai Tingyun, Lu Yunjin rubbed her fingertips, hiding the smile in her eyes.

Little liar!

Thinking about the hair dye, and then looking at the semi-finished threshing machine in front of him, Bai Tingyun believed Luo Xi's words.

If someone hadn't taught him such a skill, it would be impossible for ordinary people to come up with it.

He asked with some anticipation: "Then your master, can you leave any documentary records?"

Luo Xi pretended to be profound and shook her head, "The culture of the master is by no means ordinary. It is passed down orally from generation to generation and cannot be recorded in writing."

When Bai Tingyun thought about it, it was true that truly remarkable inheritances were all passed down by word of mouth. Otherwise, there would be no regrets about losing important inheritances.

What else do you want to ask...

Luo Xi couldn't hold it any longer: "Sir! I've said everything I can say! Here you are, you've been here all afternoon and you still haven't said what you want to see me for?"

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Bai Tingyun raised his forehead and his tone suddenly became serious:

"Mayor of Taiping Town, there was a theft at home last night. Someone accused you of doing it. Today, I will take people to the countryside to investigate and collect evidence."

"Luo Xi, is this happening?"

Luo Xi's face was full of innocence: "I'm wronged, sir! I wanted to steal money. If I didn't steal from a big family in the county, why would I steal from the house of a mere mayor?"

"According to what I have found, outside the Baohe Hall yesterday, Tang Zong, the son of Tang Shouren, led a group of people to have a conflict with you -"

"The Tang Mansion was stolen at night, and the Tang Sect was..." As if thinking of something, Bai Tingyun coughed, and his tone became more serious, "Do you dare to say it's not your revenge?"

After saying that, his sharp eyes stared at Luo Xi's face for a moment, trying to find guilty conscience and flaws on this bright and flamboyant face.

However, what he met... was Luo Xi's curious peach blossom eyes, and she winked at him and asked:

"What happened to Tang Zong? Did he suffer retribution?"

"Ahem! You answer whatever I ask, and don't say anything irrelevant to the case."

Luo Xi did not give up and continued to ask: "Tell me... tell me quickly what happened to Tang Zong?"

After asking, I raised my head and said, "My brain hurts from studying the threshing machine, and I urgently need some fun to relieve it."

Seeing that the curiosity and gloating on her face were not concealed at all, Bai Tingyun lowered his voice and whispered: "Tang Zong was suppressed by five strong men. That thing is useless."

Luo Xi opened her eyes wide, and her joyful laughter filled the courtyard: "Five...five! Hahahaha! Group sex? It's so exciting!"
