Chen Mu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he heard Cao Lao say this, he pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.

"Old Cao, you said that the young man has no ability to study equipment, but in the past few days, we have also investigated, and the young man's answer makes us quite satisfied."

"The drawings he brought out were also quite valuable."

"By the way, I also brought the drawing with me today, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can take a look at the drawing."

Li Mao frowned, he didn't know what the young man had done, let alone what the young man had done, and now seeing Cao Lao like this, Li Mao hesitated.

He directly took out the drawing and handed it to Chen Mu.

Seeing this, Chen Mu took the drawings, took a closer look, and then raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This drawing is actually the prototype of a washing machine!

Chen Mu was a little surprised, and then looked up in the direction of Cao Lao.

"Can your senior brother really be sure that young man doesn't have the ability to study equipment?"

"Sure, it is said that the young man is a person who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, and has no other ability except to study."

"He can't even work in the fields, and he doesn't know anything about these equipment, so this drawing may not be his."

Cao Lao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, while Li Mao and the others frowned when they heard this.

If this drawing really did not belong to the young man, then why did the young man ask about the idea of the device now, but the young man said the truth.

Li Mao said the confusion in his heart, and when Cao Lao heard this, he sneered.

"I don't know about this, but I'm sure that the young man is a man with no skills, if the adults don't believe me, they can send someone to the county where the young man is located."

"That young man is just a talent for helping people write letters, and he can't have developed this device at all."

Cao Lao was so determined, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, guessing that there was something else wrong with this matter.

Li Mao and the others pondered for a moment and looked up in the direction of Chen Mu, Chen Mu thought for a moment and waved his hand.

"In this way, I will send someone to the young man's county as soon as possible to investigate this matter thoroughly, as for Li Mao and Lu Wen, the two of you will stabilize the young man first."

"If this drawing really doesn't belong to the young man, then the young man took this drawing into Beijing to try to coax you and deceive an official and a half-job, which is a big crime."

Wait until he gets things to the bottom of things and then decides what to do with the young man.

When Li Mao and Lu Wen heard this, they immediately responded.

The men sent by Chen Mu rushed to the Zhou County where the young man was, and soon found out the truth of the matter.

It turned out that the young man had a good friend who was good at studying this way.

However, the friend had a disabled leg and could not walk, and because the friend was from a poor family and had no money to rush to the capital, he dragged the young man to the capital to bring the drawings, wanting to let the adults who studied the government pass by.

If the drawings were really valuable, he would go to the capital again, because the young man had just come to the capital to look for relatives in the past few days, so he responded to the matter.

The young man's friend trusted him so much that he never thought that he would keep the drawing for himself, claiming that he had researched it.

Chen Mu's gaze sank.

"Can you send someone to bring that young man to the capital?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, after we found out what happened, we have already asked people to be brought in, and the young man was also startled, and he was quite excited when he heard that his own drawings had entered the eyes of the Lord of the Research Mansion."

"He didn't know that his friend had taken his drawings for himself, and we didn't tell him about it."

Chen Mu sighed when he heard this, nodded and agreed.

The young man had been placed in the capital, Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and simply left the palace with Li Mao and Lu Wen to go to the inn where the young man was temporarily staying to visit the young man.

The young man was quite thin, and the clothes he was wearing were patched several times.

When he heard that Li Mao, Lu Wen and the others were the adults who studied the mansion, the young man got up from his seat excitedly, and was about to give a salute, but Chen Mu asked people to stop the young man's movements.

"You're the one who came up with the device? It's true. ”

"I have a few questions for you, related to that instrument, and if your answers satisfy us, we may consider taking you into the research office on an exceptional basis."

Li Mao turned his head and glanced at Chen Mu, guessing Chen Mu's thoughts, and said these words.

When the young man heard Li Mao say this, he raised his head excitedly, and he nodded in response.

Seeing this, Li Mao asked a few more questions related to the instrument, and the young man answered them one by one, and the answers were extremely detailed, even more detailed than the answers of the person who visited Li Mao with his drawings.

Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction, and after asking all the questions, Li Mao sighed faintly.

"Your name is Zhou Xu?"

Zhou Xuying snorted, he bowed and spoke.

"I don't know if a few adults are satisfied with my answer, that instrument is also my hard work for several years, in order to study that instrument, I don't think about tea, I don't want to eat."

"I have a limited amount of money in my hand, and I have spent a lot of money on that instrument."

The young man smiled wryly.

He clenched the hem of his clothes, and the clothes he was wearing were extremely shabby, and it looked like they had been worn for many years.

"Now, seeing that I can't afford to eat, I thought about taking the drawing and trying it out, in fact, the device has not been improved, and I am worried that the device will not be able to enter the eyes of several adults."

Li Mao, Lu Wen and the others glanced at each other when they heard him say this.

Li Mao immediately remembered himself who had not yet entered Beijing.

He sighed lightly and spoke.

"We appreciate the ingenuity of your device, and we are very satisfied with the answer you just gave."

"After we report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, you can enter our research mansion, and you don't have to go back."

Seeing Li Mao say this, the young man was overjoyed, and when Chen Mu saw the young man like this, he glanced at Li Mao and Lu Wen.

Seeing this, the two bowed, turned around and retreated, leaving Chen Mu alone in the room.

Chen Mu sat down at the table, and when he saw the young man looking in his direction with a confused expression, he said with a faint expression.

"Zhao Yang is your friend?"

Seeing Chen Mu say this, Zhou Xu immediately nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank him for today's events, if he hadn't helped me get the drawings to the capital, I wouldn't have had a chance to get this official position."

Zhou Xu didn't know the truth of the matter, but Chen Mu sighed when he saw him like this.

He shook his head silently, and explained what Zhao Yang had done.

Seeing that the expression on Zhou Xu's face gradually stiffened, Chen Mu finally added.

"This friend of yours has deceived you, and he doesn't even care if you live or die."
