The Little Lucky Girl

Master He nodded with a smile, "That's what the Master ordered."

Lu Tai: It’s over, I’ve shot myself in the foot.

The escort agency is a life-threatening business, so the daily training is naturally very strict. Master Cao brought that set of procedures with him.

After just a day and a half, not to mention Zheng Huan and Lu Tai, even Feng Xu, who had been practicing shooting since childhood, felt a little overwhelmed.

They had just finished running a few laps around the creek and were now asked to do horse stance. The three of them were shaking so much that they looked like they were having a seizure.

Ming Youyou saw that Master Cao seemed to be unsatisfied with training them, and his eyes would glance at her from time to time. She suddenly felt frightened, "Well, I remember I still have to learn embroidery." Slip away~

Following the ox cart carrying goods from Xiaguan Village to the gate of the county government office, Ming Youyou was given an exceptionally warm welcome by the servants today. Several people surrounded her and wanted to show her the way.

Ming Youyou followed and found that they were going to the outer courtyard. She asked in confusion, "I'm here to see Madam Tao."

"Madam went to Jinxiufang. I heard that Second Madam Xu had a fight with someone again."

"Oh, then I'll go find Master Wu Niangzi."

The servant laughed and said, "Madam and Fifth Lady went together, and Aunt Luo was also dragged along to watch the fun."

"Hey, then I don't have to go to class today." Ming Youyou's eyes lit up and she immediately turned around to go shopping.

The servants hurriedly stopped her and reminded her, "Young lady, you haven't been to the county government office for a long time. Do you want to go and say hello to the county magistrate?"

Yes, that's right. But she hasn't finished her homework yet, and she's afraid that Master Tao will ask about it.

Seeing that she was not very willing, the servant comforted her: "Don't worry, young lady, the county magistrate is in a good mood these days and will not embarrass you."

"Really? Is it something good?"

The servant smiled but said nothing, and quickly led his men to the study.

Ming Youyou felt something was wrong as he walked. Not only were there fewer servants, but even the few yamen runners who usually surrounded the masters were gone. "Why does the courtyard feel so deserted? Where did everyone go?"

The servants laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on their cheeks. "They all followed Madam to the street to protect her."

It's strange. Mrs. Tao has been out so many times, but there has never been such a scene before. Besides, this is Lord Tao's territory, and who would dare to bully the county magistrate's wife?

Ming Youyou was just about to ask a question when she saw Master He walking out of the study. He looked tired and seemed to be several years older than when he brought Master Cao to see them in the morning.

But he was refreshed when he saw her, and immediately stepped forward to lead the people and said, "Come on, the master misses you, go and see the master."

Ming Youyou confirmed that everyone in the county government office was a little abnormal today, and it seemed to be related to Lord Tao.

She walked in and stared at Lord Tao carefully.

"Why, you don't recognize this county after not seeing it for a few days?"

Ming Youyou immediately retracted her head and bowed politely.

Master Tao narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Looking at you like this, I know you haven't finished your homework."

Hey, isn't this quite normal? "Sir, you are still the same sir who can see through everything and has a keen eye." She said happily.

"Tsk," Magistrate Tao shook his head. "After a few days in the academy, your ability to flatter others has improved. Well, it's a rare day off, so I'll let you go this time."

He took out three bowls from somewhere, waved at her, called her over and said mysteriously, "I'll show you a magic trick."

"What is an illusion?"

"It's just a trick."

Oh, I see. Ming Youyou really loves to perform magic tricks. "Okay, okay, then please get started."

"Then you better watch carefully." Magistrate Tao was very pleased with her flattery. He slowly put a bean in a bowl, then mixed up the three bowls and asked expectantly, "Guess which bowl the bean is in?"

Ming Youyou was simply stunned. Is this called a magic trick? The movements were slower than those of the toothless old lady in their village.

She tentatively pointed to the one in the middle, and sure enough, the bean was there.

Magistrate Tao was amazed. "You actually guessed it right. Try again." He put the beans into the bowl and continued to fiddle with them very slowly.

Ming Youyou seemed to understand something, but this time she didn't dare to point to the correct one and just picked one at random.

Seeing that she didn't choose the right one, Magistrate Tao laughed and said, "I told you that you were lucky last time. It's normal that you didn't guess right. Come on, let's continue."

Ming Youyou walked out of the study, looking dazed.

This trick is so boring. You have to watch it carefully, otherwise it would be bad if you choose the right one.

Magistrate Tao's laughing voice came from behind, "Come early next time you have a day off, and I'll make you a new one to play with."

She stumbled.

When they walked into the garden, they saw Master He playing chess with someone, and Ming Youyou immediately stepped forward and said, "You are so mean."

Master He laughed, "It is better to let my friend die than to let me die. You may not know that the master has been performing this trick on everyone he meets these days. Everyone is really scared. Even my wife has gone out to hide."

"Then why is your Excellency suddenly interested in magic tricks?"

"It's all because of him," Master He pointed at the young man who was playing chess with him.

Only then did Ming Youyou realize that she had never seen this person before.

Mr. He introduced: "This boy is called Fang Er. He was caught by the yamen runners a few days ago for cheating people out of their money by performing magic tricks on the street. The master thought that he was not a bad person and was a talented person, so he accepted him as his follower."

The young man touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Ming Youyou asked curiously, "Can this trick really cheat people out of their money?" How stupid must the person who was cheated have to be.

Master He laughed loudly and said to the young man, "Make it an authentic one for me, don't let the adults mislead the children."

Fang Er took out three small bowls from his sleeves and started fiddling with them quickly.

Ming Youyou was dazzled and exclaimed: "That's right, this is so interesting."

Magic tricks are meant to make people happy, but Lord Tao's magic tricks are simply torture.

Master He sighed and said, "At first, you wanted to find out how this guy made the money disappear. After watching it a few times, you thought that if you can grasp the key points, it seems that you can help the county government catch thieves. Then you became addicted to studying it."

Several people sighed in unison.

"Actually, I think," Master He looked around and said in a low voice, "The master is just too idle. There are no major or strange cases in Yuqing County. The master is too bored."

"What about the previous cases?" Ming Youyou thought for a moment, "The previous county magistrate didn't like to solve cases, so he should have left some behind."

"It has been dealt with by the adults long ago." Master He said sadly.

Ming Youyou scratched his head. "What about the one in Lin County? I remember there was an unsolved case in Pingyang City. It was very famous at the time. The storyteller talked about it for many days, but it seems that it has not been solved until now."
