At this moment, Runtu whispered to her, "Madam, there's something wrong with this monk."
Zheng Quchi's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Of course there's a problem? If there wasn't, why would he target me, a poor guy, instead of ripping off so many rich people at this water fair, and keep telling me to wait for him? Even if he waits until he dies, I won't go looking for him to help me out."
Runtu was speechless for a moment, but he felt he still had to explain to his wife: "His steps were light and his breath was long and full, so he must have practiced martial arts. Moreover, his fingers were long and his joints were well-proportioned, unlike the gray-robed monks who did rough work in the temple from dawn to dusk."
Zheng Quchi understood this time.
"You mean, he was an imposter monk?"
"That shouldn't be the case either. The ordination scars on his head are very old and cannot be faked."
“He is a monk, but not the lowest-ranking gray-robed monk in Wujue Temple. Is there another purpose behind his deliberate disguise as a gray-robed monk to attract guests?” Zheng Quchi guessed.
"It's hard to say, but Madam should be careful and wary of this person," Runtu said.
Zheng Quchi nodded: "Okay, I understand. Commander Runqi has excellent observation skills."
Seeing his unusual enthusiasm, she praised him encouragingly.
Runtu lowered his eyes: "It is my duty to eliminate any dangerous individuals around Madam."

Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong went with Wang Zebang to meet Wei Yao. The dragon carriage had a fixed frame and a tightly wrapped protective layer, which needed to be disassembled by someone knowledgeable before being moved in and placed.
Yuwen Sheng was only interested in military equipment and nothing else, so he went to find a pavilion for guests to rest in.
At noon, Zheng Quchi and his group finally settled into their dragon-drawn carriage. Because of its large size, it occupied the entire space of the water pavilion, essentially serving as a platform. There were no display shelves; only this one item was on display.
Of course, their dragon carriage wasn't the largest in the entire exhibition hall; there was also a sixteen-legged carved rosewood lamp, which was simply extravagantly beautiful.
There are also weighing instruments, which are modern scales, and someone has already manufactured them.
They may look slightly different, but the lever principle of lever arm multiplied by weight and weight arm multiplied by weight is the same.
There are even more unusual things, such as fun pinball boxes. You simply drop a bead into the box, and when you touch a certain mechanism, it bounces and makes a clanging sound inside the box, which is quite interesting.
Zheng Quchi was eager to know what principles it used, but the internal structure could not be seen unless the box was disassembled.
Another example of agricultural progress is the plow, which has been continuously improved and evolved to include advanced plowshare devices and plowshares that can adjust the depth of tillage.
Zheng Quchi thought to herself, everything else is fine, but when it comes to farming, she's a complete novice.
If she takes this plow back, disassembles and analyzes it, understands it, and then replicates it, she can save a lot of effort and time in farming in the future.
"How about we donate some spring reward money?"
It is said that only those who have donated silver coins for the Spring Festival can apply to the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild to meet the craftsmen behind the exhibits and discuss matters with them.
