Chapter 71 Master Chao

Chapter 72 Master Chao

After they became complicit, officials began to protect each other.When the people are in trouble, the first thing these officials think of is not to solve the people's problems, but to make money for their families as soon as possible, so as not to waste the opportunity to become an official.

"At Taizu's time, there were people buying official positions. Who knows if this new county magistrate will also follow this path!" Sun Qiang said angrily.

If this official was also bought, then the lives of ordinary people like them would definitely not be easy in the future.

Sheng Xi asked curiously: "There are many people in Li who sell their official positions and get titles?"

Sun Qiang shook his head: "Taizu and the late emperor heard about it from time to time at that time, but now that I have ascended the throne, I have only heard about it occasionally."

That is there is.

Sheng Xi was not curious about political affairs. After listening to the two men's nagging, he divided their fair share.

Sun Qiang and Yang Liu were overjoyed.

Then Sheng Xi said to them, "You go and get rid of these wild animals first, and I'll go find someone." After a slight pause, Sheng Xi added, "We'll meet at the bookstore at the gate of the city later."

Of course, the two of them are fine.

After the two drove the donkey cart away, Sheng Xi searched for the address according to the blacksmith's instructions. Fortunately, it was not very far, but after walking for only a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the place.

Sheng Xi looked up and saw that it was a private house.The house doesn't look big from the outside, but the surroundings are very quiet.

Sheng Xi took out the manuscript, came closer, stretched out his hand and knocked on the courtyard door.

There was a knock on the door, and footsteps soon came from inside.Sheng Xi took a step back, and soon the courtyard door opened, revealing a man who looked like a young boy.

Seeing Sheng Xi, the boy's eyes brightened obviously, but he quickly lowered his eyes and asked her, "Girl, who are you looking for?"

"Brother, is this Master Chao's house?" Sheng Xi asked, cupping his hands.

The boy nodded when he heard this: "Yes, who are you, miss?"

"I would like to ask Master Chao to help me create an artifact. I wonder if I can help pass it on?" Sheng Xi asked.

"This..." The boy looked Sheng Xi up and down, "I wonder what kind of utensil the girl wants to make? My master is not an ordinary blacksmith." The boy's last sentence was a reminder.

Sheng Xi actually didn't understand it very well, but that didn't stop her from handing over the manuscript in her hand: "This is the knife I want to make. There are annotations on it."

The boy took the manuscript and read it over first, and was slightly surprised when he saw the content.After thinking about it, he said to Sheng Xi: "Girl, please wait a moment. Let me give this manuscript to my master for review first, and I will reply to the girl later."

Sheng Xi took it easy and watched the waiter take a step back and close the door with his backhand, and then she stood at the door obediently and waited.

As a result, the wait actually lasted for half an hour.

If the boy didn't come out again, Sheng Xi would suspect that the other party had secretly read the manuscript and run away.

"Girl, you've been waiting for a long time." Seeing that there was no anger on Sheng Xi's face, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and then said to her with a smile, "My master has invited me, girl, please come in."

Sheng Xi followed Shan Ruliu and stepped into the courtyard gate.

The yard is indeed not big, but it is also a small one. However, the area of ​​each room is not large and it is relatively crowded.

The boy led Sheng Xi directly to the backyard, and Sheng Xi followed behind. He glanced over and saw no one else.

Soon, a figure from behind appeared.At this time, the figure was sitting on a small wooden bench, filing something hard.Hearing the movement, the other party said without turning around: "Sit down."

Sheng Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and sat down next to Chao Yun under the guidance of the waiter.She quickly glanced around and found various strange iron blocks placed on the ground. She didn't know what they were used for.Looking at Chao Yun again, she only saw a side face that was obviously wrinkled but quite resolute.As if he felt Sheng Xi looking at him, Chao Yun turned to look at her, and happened to bump into Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi calmly nodded to Chao Yun: "Master Chao."

Chao Yun chuckled softly, narrowed his eyes at Sheng Xi, and asked her, "Who asked you to hit this thing?"

"Myself." Sheng Xi replied.

Chao Yun curled his lips, not knowing whether he believed Sheng Xi's words, and asked her again: "What is this knife used for? Why have I never seen it before?" It was precisely because he had never seen it before that Chao Yun Let the boy call Sheng Xi in.

Sheng Xi thought for a while and said, "Meat cutter?"

Chao Yun looked up at her: "You don't know what he did? Or did you make this thing for someone else?"

Sheng Xi couldn't help but ask, "If I did it for someone else, wouldn't you do it?"

Chao Yun raised his eyebrows, while the boy beside him widened his eyes for a moment, wanting to remind Sheng Xi, but he was just being heartless.

Seeing that she was not afraid of him at all, Chao Yun raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at her.

Sheng Xi blinked but did not avoid it.

This time, Chao Yun was really surprised.Only then did he take a closer look at Qi Shengxi and found that he was dressed as an ordinary person, and for a moment he became curious.After thinking about it, he asked Sheng Xi, "Is your family a pig butcher?"

Sheng Xi: "..." Can she withdraw what she just said? Has 2 minutes passed?

Sighing slightly, Sheng Xi said honestly: "This is for surgery."

"Operation?" Chao Yun was a little confused.

Sheng Xi explained based on the history and culture here: "It is a tool used by ulcer doctors to cut human skin."

Chao Yun: "..."

When the boy on the side heard these words said in a calm voice by Sheng Xi, for some reason, he shivered uncontrollably.

Sheng Xi felt the two people's discomfort and coughed twice before saying, "It's just a medical tool." Of course, it can also kill people at critical moments.It's just that Sheng Xi didn't say anything.

Chao Yun also felt that he had overreacted. He snorted coldly and said, "It's just for medical use, and it's for incision...cough!" Thinking of that word, even though Chao Yun was well-informed, he was a little aroused. His face was stiff.

Sheng Xi smiled and glanced at Chao Yun. Seeing that his face was fine, she asked him, "Master Chao, can you do this scalpel?" Ask him if he can do it first. If he can, then ask if he can do it later. Do.I don’t know what Master Chao’s preferences are. If he can do it, how can he convince the other party to do it for him?

Chao Yun glanced at Sheng Xi with a cold expression to express his dissatisfaction, but did not let Sheng Xi ask two questions in succession, but said: "It can be done, but I am just trying to do it, and it takes time. After all, this This is my first time seeing this. Besides, I don’t have the materials you requested and need to get them from other places."

Sheng Xi glanced at Chao Yun in surprise, but remembering that the blacksmith told her before that Chao Yun would not stay in Wentong County for too long, she temporarily suppressed her doubts and asked hurriedly: "How long will you stay in Wentong County? If you leave, when do you plan to come here again?”

Chao Yun didn't even think about it: "I will leave tomorrow. As for when I will come, I can't say for sure. It will be a year at least."

Sheng Xi frowned.

Seeing her like this, Chao Yun asked, "Why, are you in a hurry for this?"

"It's not in a hurry." Sheng Xi replied.

"There's no rush, so just wait. When I'm done, I'll send someone to deliver it. Well, then you can go to the county office to get it," Chao Yun said.

Sheng Xi: "...Um, county government?" Transfer station?It's not impossible.
