"No, I've never heard of our county magistrate conscripting men. You must be mistaken," Rong Bai tried his best to defend himself.
Uncle Li reminded him several times, but he still didn't agree, so he wouldn't take the blame.
Wu Lizheng sneered, "That playboy is probably not arrested now because he's engrossed in some brothel and doesn't have time. Once he has time, he'll be just like the other county magistrates."
Luo Xi, who was in the know, had a very strange expression on her face, and her gaze kept drifting towards Rong Bai.
Rong Bai: "..."
"Master, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not Rong Bai."
"Let's see how long you can keep up this act," Luo Xi glanced at him again, straightened her face, and asked seriously once more, "So, you've thought it through?"
Without hesitation, Wu Lizheng nodded: "Please take me in, Chief."
The people behind them also said, "Please take us in, Chief."
“Alright.” Luo Xi thought for a moment and looked at Yin Li: “Are there any vacant houses on our side?”

"Just come to me for the money once you've made your plans."
"Yes, boss."
At this moment, Wu Lizheng cautiously said, "Boss, our villages are not far from here, and we all have families."
"Could we stay where we are now? That would make things easier for you."
Luo Xi thought to herself, "That works too."
The people breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. The chief was indeed a very good person, just as those people had said.
They made the right bet!
"Boss, just let us know when you're building your house." With his worries gone, Wu Lizheng's mood brightened instantly: "All the young men in our village know how to build houses and lay tiles. We'll make sure it's sturdy and beautiful for you."
