Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Yes," Luo Yide responded and sat in front of Lai Gou'er.

The deputy curiously sized him up.

Originally, Luo Yide was his colleague as an assistant to Lord Lai, but now it seemed that he had some extraordinary experiences.

Lai Gou'er was extremely curious and prepared to listen attentively.

He heard Luo Yide say, "Actually, there is nothing too complicated. It was all thanks to Master Wu's extensive knowledge that he conquered everyone."

"Since Master Wu went to sea, there was initially nothing special about his performance. He simply took the rich merchants on the ship to enjoy themselves and frolic."

"How did they frolic?" Lai Gou'er asked excitedly.

Master Wu personally leading the entertainment must be extraordinary!

Luo Yide scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, it's just those things... It's a bit shameful to say, but I've never seen such a scene before."

"A group of merchants and beautiful women, all refined and courteous during the day, but at night, no one wears clothes... It can be said that they sing and dance every night."

"Tell me in detail!" Lai Gou'er pressed.

Luo Yide hesitated and said, "It's just those things, you know... It's just especially intense, all frothing at the mouth. They play like this every day, like humans during the day and beasts at night. After seven consecutive days, everyone was extremely familiar with each other, and Master Wu began to move frequently among the crowd."

"At first, they just chatted with each other, and I was responsible for translating and helping Master record information. After all the information was gathered, Master began to connect resources for the major merchants and introduce businesses. In less than half a month, Master Wu had already facilitated several major deals, and later, people began to actively seek him out."

"Uh..." Lai Gou'er was a little disappointed, as if he wasn't particularly interested in the particularly mysterious topic.

Immediately, he asked gossipily, "Did Master Wu participate?"

"Participate in what?"

"Frothing at the mouth."

Luo Yide shook his head solemnly, "Master Wu never participated. He only moved during the day. When the crowd was reveling at night, he sat quietly and read in the study alone, and the noise outside could not affect him in the slightest."

"How is that possible?" Lai Gou'er asked in surprise.

This was completely different from what he had imagined! Although the master was knowledgeable, wasn't he also a hungry ghost?

Luo Yide said solemnly, "I also asked Master this question, whether Master disliked women, but later Master explained it to me."

"He said that he didn't understand bestiality when he was young, embraced bestiality after growing up, and stayed away from bestiality when he was old."

These words were quite Zen-like!

Lai Gou'er fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said deeply, "Master Wu, he... is impotent?"

"I guess so," Luo Yide replied after a moment of silence, "After all, he's getting old."

The deputy's strange gaze darted back and forth between Lai Gou'er and Luo Yide, his brain in chaos.

He couldn't digest such a conversation at all...

Luo Yide thought again and again, and said cautiously, "However, Master is not someone that mortals can fathom. To be honest, I really learned a lot from Master on the ship, and I also have some insights."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Master once said that the apricot is the source and driving force of all things in the world, and people have this strong instinct from birth. I asked Master at the time whether babies also have it, and Master said yes."

"I have shallow knowledge and don't think so. So after the ship docked for the first time, I immediately looked for newborn babies and collected evidence to refute Master, but after I deeply studied the babies, I found that they did have this potential instinct. These newborn babies always like to suck on various things to receive external stimulation, which I call the oral stage, this stage..."

"Cough cough cough, that's enough!" Lai Gou'er's eyes were glazed over, and he could only cough twice to stop Luo Yide's endless chatter, "Xiao Luo, learn more from Master, don't be so neurotic and study it yourself!"

"It's good that everything is going smoothly with Master Wu. If you need other supplies, go directly to the people below to allocate them. If there's nothing else, go back to Master Wu to report back."

"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave." Luo Yide cupped his fist and exited the room.

Lai Gou'er breathed a sigh of relief and raised his chin at the deputy, "Continue, what's wrong with the Brotherhood?"

"The Brotherhood sent a letter yesterday, saying that the internal inspections of the six major dioceses are becoming increasingly strict. People are patrolling the streets closely every day, and once a special situation is discovered, it will be reported immediately, so that it is now difficult to move an inch. Moreover, it is said that some cities belonging to the diocese have begun to load cannons and deploy city defenses, and at the same time, they are mobilizing a large number of conscripts among the people."

"The current situation is difficult and uncertain. In the future, contact with Da Jing will be reduced. I hope you know."

"Well... I know about this. You can arrange the others first."

......

Outside Wu Gate.

The officials formed a circle, and the person in the center was Fang Zheng Yi.

Fang Zheng Yi's official uniform was bulging, and he didn't know what it was.

However, the officials' attention was not here. Li Yansong asked first, "Lord Marquis, I have observed that the Crown Prince has been emotionally disturbed these past two days, and his forehead is dark. Is there something wrong with his body?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, Da Jing only has this one Crown Prince. You have the closest relationship with His Highness, so don't hide it from us!"

"What exactly is the Crown Prince suffering from?"

The surroundings were chattering, and Fang Zheng Yi couldn't stand the noise. He roared, "Okay! The Crown Prince is not sick!"

"Didn't it rain heavily the past two days? The Crown Prince's chicken farm outside the city was struck by lightning, and the chicken coops collapsed everywhere, and the chickens also turned into coke. His Highness is sad because of this, he's not sick at all, can you not think wildly? Since you are so concerned, why don't you directly ask His Majesty and His Highness, why are you always dragging me in?"

Li Yansong said dissatisfied, "How can we directly ask about His Highness's private affairs? Naturally, it is most appropriate to ask Lord Marquis. The Crown Prince is not thinking about food and tea because a mere chicken coop was struck by lightning. This is such an absurd reason, are you trying to prevaricate us?"

"No, absolutely not!" Fang Zheng Yi waved his hands, his expression serious, "That's not an ordinary chicken coop, that's a breeding chicken coop! It will be used to breed fast-growing chicken breeds in the future, and His Highness has high hopes for it."

"From Cabbage Chicken No. 1 to Cabbage Chicken No. 10, chickens are found all over the country for breeding. His Highness and the Agricultural College of Dongjiao University have been working hard for more than half a year to create these experimental varieties. Now the chicken coop has been struck by lightning, how can His Highness not be sad?"

"Then aren't there still eggs? Just hatch them slowly, what's there to be sad about?"

"The chicken farm caught fire after being struck by lightning, and the eggs were all burned into balut, nothing was left. Don't talk about the Crown Prince, the researchers at my Dongda Agricultural College haven't eaten or drank for two days, the little chicks turned into little black chicks, and I feel sorry for them too!"

"So that's how it is." The officials suddenly understood.

Everyone understood, this was indeed heartbreaking.

The fact that His Highness personally cultivated fast-growing cabbage chickens was originally a great and immeasurable good thing, and it was inevitable that he would be overly saddened by the chicken coop being struck by lightning.

Now that this worry has been explained, the officials were obviously much more relaxed.

His Majesty is already so old, who knows when he will pass the throne to the Crown Prince.

It's good that he's okay.

"Lord Marquis, what the hell are you stuffing in your clothes, bulging?" At this time, someone finally noticed the awkwardness of Fang Zheng Yi's body.

The eyes of the officials once again focused on Fang Zheng Yi.
