"Haha, Xiao Lang, you didn't have this attitude before! I remember you said twice that the Buddha's day should not be said, can you say it now?" Yu Shinan laughed loudly, teasing Li Wangyou.

This made Li Wangyou very embarrassed, how could he have thought that the old man sitting in the broken ox cart would be the famous Yu Shinan.

"Secretary Supervisor Yu, don't blame, don't blame."

"Stinky boy, hurry up and tell the old man what method the monk used to make those tricks?"

Regarding this, Yang Zuan and Fang Chunfang County Captain were also very curious. To be able to coax a group of old foxes, this monk is very skilled.

Li Wangyou touched his nose, smiled, and first explained to the old man the secret of Monk Fan's ability to not eat or drink for three days and three nights, and Yu Shinan sighed repeatedly.

"As for the palm of the Tathagata, the bloody handprint on the white paper, and the explosion of clear water, it's not mysterious at all, it's just a trick to deceive the villagers." Li Wangyou explained with a smile.

The Tathagata palm is not mysterious at all, but the monk's hands are wrapped in a layer of flour in advance, and then secretly hidden in the sleeves are camphor powder, phosphorus powder and sulfur powder.

Put these three kinds of powder on your hands, rub your hands vigorously, and it will naturally stick.The monk's palm is protected by flour, so it will not burn, and it is enough to extinguish the flame in time.

The white paper blood handprint is not complicated, but the white paper is soaked in alkaline water in advance and then dried, and there must be turmeric water in the monk's bowl.

The patriarch of the Li family patted the paper with his wet hand covered with turmeric water, and it naturally turned red, but it was just a simple acid-base reaction.

The reason why Li Wangyou knows this is because he grew up in the countryside.

In the countryside, when he was a child, many gods and witches deceived the village, and many villagers were deceived.

Later, the government popularized scientific knowledge, broke superstition, and used these deceptive examples to conduct long-term publicity in the village. Li Wangyou was very impressed.

However, Li Wangyou knew the principle of the clear water explosion, but he was also very surprised where the monk got the ingredients.

As expected, there should be a small piece of sodium metal hidden in the monk's hand.Throwing it into a bucket by someone unprepared, metal sodium will explode when it meets water, and it will explode under the chemical reaction. These later generations have learned in high school physics.

But this is the Tang Dynasty, where did the monk extract the metal sodium, Li Wangyou was puzzled.

Li Wangyou didn't tell Yu Shinan and Yang Zuan about the sodium metal, only that it was something that would explode if thrown into water.

Yu Shinan didn't delve into this, but he thought for a while and asked: "Xiao Lang, in this way, there must be something wrong with the servant in the Li clan, and he was the one who colluded with the monk."

Li Wangyou smiled: "Why did Secretary Yu say that?"

"Stinky boy, do you feel dizzy when you are an old man? The white paper and the turmeric water in the monk's bowl were all obtained by Li's servants, and they did not use others. If the monk did not collude with him, how could he do this?"

"Secretary Supervisor Yu is wise."

When Yang Zuan heard this, he wanted to ask the government servants to go to Li's mansion to arrest people, but was stopped by Li Wangyou.

"Yang Mingfu, can you check on that maid named Huashang first? See if she still has family members. If the estimate is not bad, then the monk must have contact with her family members. Why don't you find out what happened before arresting her?"

Li Wangyou felt that if things were true as the passer-by said, He Wei might not be a bad guy, let alone a chivalrous man fighting against injustice.

He is naturally willing to excuse one or two things for the monk, hoping to find out the whole story first.

After thinking about it, Yang Zuan nodded and agreed, and asked people to go to the master book Liu Xiao first, and check the information left by Li's maidservant, Hua Shang.

Although slaves and maidservants can be bought and sold in the Tang Dynasty, they need to establish files in the government, and they must be included in the master's family membership.

Soon, Liu Xiao came to the lobby with the brochure.It turned out that this Huashang was originally named Lin Chunhua, the daughter of a peasant family in Hu County, who sold herself to the head of the Li clan as a maid three years ago.

Yang Zuan ordered people to find Lizheng in the village where the Lin family lived. After some inquiries, everyone understood the reason.

Lin Chunhua originally had her parents and elder brother in her family. However, her father died of illness three years ago, and her mother was seriously ill. Her elder brother went out to work as an apprentice in business in his early years and did not return for many years.

In desperation, in order to cure her mother, Lin Chunhua sold herself as a slave and sold herself to the patriarch of the Li clan for ten pennies.

However, her mother was unable to cure her illness in the end, and soon passed away.

According to Li Zheng, someone in the village saw Lin Chunhua's elder brother, Lin Daniu, not long ago. He seemed to be returning home from a business trip, but the house was already empty, and Lin Daniu had disappeared.

Hearing this, Li Wangyou seemed to understand where Huashang got the money to redeem himself.Presumably her elder brother, who hadn't returned for many years, found her and gave her the ransom money.

Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Li clan was so greedy that he was not satisfied with the ransom money, so he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and wanted to resell Huashang, which resulted in Huashang committing suicide by throwing herself into a well.

Not only did Li Wangyou think of this, but Yu Shinan and Yang Zuan also thought of it, they couldn't help sighing, secretly thinking that the patriarch of the Li clan is despicable.

The monk must have heard about this before he came to Hu County, and deliberately designed to trick the greedy patriarch of the Li clan once.

"What about Li's servant who colluded with the monk?" Fang Chun asked in puzzlement.

"Hua Chang sold herself back then, and the old fellow of the Li family leader could pay him ten pennies. Presumably, she must be pretty. If it's not bad, then the servant must have loved Hua Chang, and that's why he colluded with outsiders to avenge her." Li Wangyou guessed.

He guessed that Yu Shinan and Yang Zuan also nodded repeatedly, thinking that it was probably so.

"Do you still want to capture that servant?" Fang Chun asked.

Yang Zuan thought for a moment, then waved his hand: "Forget it, let him go. Since Mrs. Li didn't report to the officials to arrest him, there's no need to worry about it. Mrs. Li is to blame for this matter, and no one else can blame her."

Fang Chun nodded, he also felt that the Li family in Hu County was too much.

Seeing that the case was not being pursued, Fang Chun and Liu Xiao bid farewell and left.Li Wangyou also wanted to say goodbye and leave, but was kept by Yang Zuan.

"Xiao Lang is not in a hurry to leave, let the teacher read the poem you wrote." Yang Zhuan said to Yu Shinan again: "Master, Xiaolang from the Li family wrote a poem today, it is really a rare and excellent work, please let the teacher appreciate it."

"Oh? Xiaolang can compose poems? That's something to watch." Yu Shinan looked at Li Wangyou, and didn't think that this young man could write any good poems, but his disciple said so, but Always give some thin noodles.

After Yang Zuan took out the poem that he had been admiring for a long time from the inner room, he spread the paper on several tables: "Master, please have a look."

With the support of the old servant, Yu Shinan walked to the front of the table, and looked at it, and when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"One day the roc rose with the same wind, and it soared ninety thousand miles... What a poem, what a poem! Xiao Lang, is this really your poem?" Yu Shinan couldn't believe that the young man in front of him had such talent.

Li Wangyou snickered in his heart, Li Taibai, the poet immortal, isn't the poem written by the exiled immortal a good poem?

Anyway, he plagiarized, and his skin was thick enough, so he just nodded and admitted it.

Amitabha, Li Taibai, Li Taibai, I don’t know how many poems I will copy from you in the future, you old man will write some other poems in the future.You are an exiled immortal, you are not short of these few poems, if you drink more wine, you will have all kinds of poems, hehe.

Seeing that Li Wangyou nodded and agreed that he wrote the poem, Yu Shinan still couldn't believe it.

"In this case, why don't you write another poem for the old man? Well, let the old man think about it." Yu Shinan's old eyes revealed a hint of cunning: "Since you said that the monk is a knight, then write a poem with the theme of a knight." Let's go first."

027 Knight's Walk

Well, I suspect that I plagiarized too little!

As soon as Li Wangyou heard the word chivalrous man, another poem by Li Bai, "Xia Ke Xing" appeared in his mind!Sure enough, once you start plagiarism, you can't stop it!

He pretended to be pacing back and forth in the lobby, pretending to think for a while, and began to read aloud.
