This Chen Fu Yin has a bit of a temper and Xu Qi'an knew it was time for him to act, "According to the statement of the city gate guards, my second uncle entered the city at the second quarter of the hour, and at the quarter of the hour, the escort team arrived at Guangnan Street. At this time, a strange wind suddenly picked up, and the horses were frightened and rushed into the river."

He tried his best to keep his tone neither humble nor overbearing, so as to make himself more calm, thus increasing his persuasiveness.

Chen Fuyin nodded: "This is the reason why we concluded that this is a monster hiding in the river, waiting for an opportunity to steal the tax money."

"No!" Xu Qi'an retorted loudly: "The evil wind is just a cover-up, and the explosion in the river is also a cover-up. In fact, it is to make you ignore a flaw, a fatal flaw."

Chen Fuyin urgently asked: "What's the flaw?"

The middle-aged man assumed a listening posture.

The girl in the yellow skirt bit the candied fruit without chewing it, and her aura-filled eyes stared at Xu Qi'an with great interest.

They read the dossier over and over many times, and they knew everything about the incident, but they never noticed any flaws.

"My second uncle escorted 15 taels of tax silver. Dare I ask the adults, how much does 15 taels of silver weigh?"

The middle-aged man had a stiff face, while the girl in the yellow skirt tilted her head and didn't come back for a long time.

Chen Fuyin said displeasedly: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't keep it to yourself."

Xu Qi'an originally wanted to give a hint and let the adults find out this huge flaw by themselves, but it seemed to be self-defeating.

The quick calculation ability is a bit low, you ancient people Xu Qi'an said immediately: "It's nine thousand three hundred and seventy-five catties."

According to the mass conversion formula in this world, a catty is 16 taels, and 15 taels of silver is 370 five catties.

The middle-aged man frowned, he vaguely grasped something.

The girl in the yellow skirt frowned: "What does this mean?"

Her voice is as clear as a silver bell.

It means you are not very smart, Yazi!

Xu Qi'an said: "How far is the distance from the gate of the city to Guangnan Street?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Thirty miles."

"How many downtowns did you pass through?"

"Four."

"How's the horse's footsteps?"

The middle-aged man suddenly stared wide-eyed and stood up abruptly.

He widened his eyes hard, showing a sudden expression of "it turned out to be like this", "so it turned out to be like this".

After three days of tracking and searching for monsters, this experienced watchman realized that he might be going in the wrong direction.

But I didn't have a clear idea in my mind, so after being denied before, I didn't take it to heart.

Chen Fuyin's scalp was a little numb, because he still didn't hear any problems, it seemed that he was not very wise as a Fuyin.

Chen Fuyin glanced at the girl in the yellow skirt, and felt a lot more balanced.

The girl in the yellow skirt said depressedly: "What's the problem?"

The middle-aged man was a little excited: "The time, the time is wrong."

"Guangnan Street is thirty miles away from the South City Gate. With the foot strength of a rough horse, you have to pass through four downtowns along the way. If you enter the city at [-]:[-], it is impossible to reach Guangnan Street at [-]:[-]."

He was influenced by preconceived ideas, thinking that it was a monster who robbed the tax money. After Xu Qi'an's scrambling, he immediately chewed something wrong.

"But the tax money was indeed transported to Guangnan Street at Chenshi. At that time, there were many people who saw a horse rushing into the river. It cannot be fake." The girl in yellow skirt said crisply.

Chen Fuyin nodded in satisfaction, and agreed: "What's the explanation?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Xu Qi'an.

"Because the escort is not silver at all." Xu Qi'an said loudly.

"Absurd!" Chen Fuyin retorted: "Not to mention whether your second uncle and the escorting soldiers have eyes, the file contains the confessions of the people present at that time, the horses rushed into the river, and the white silver rolled into the water."

He shook the file in his hand: "Is this also fake?"

"Seeing is not necessarily true. The grassroots are willing to personally explain to adults." His eyes fell on the table and said: "Let me borrow a pen and paper."

Chen Fuyin waved his hand, indicating that he is free.

Xu Qi'an dragged the shackles to the table, poured water to grind it, spread out the rice paper, and began to write crookedly.

"My lord, please prepare the paper according to the request of the grassroots." After finishing writing, he handed the rice paper to Chen Fu Yin.

Chen Fuyin took the rice paper and glanced at it, confused.

"Let me see." The girl in the yellow skirt came over to join in the fun, and stretched out a snow-white catkin to take the rice paper.

Then at a loss.

"" The middle-aged man Li Yuchun glanced at the paper, made a blank expression, flattened the folded corner of the rice paper without leaving any traces, and handed it to Chen Fuyin.

Chapter 5 解开谜题

A quarter of an hour later, two yamen servants brought the things in and placed them in the hall.

The three adults glanced at the equipment, then turned to look at Xu Qi'an.

Chen Fu Yin said in a deep voice: "Everything you want is here, you must give me a satisfactory answer."

His attitude has changed.

For a quarter of an hour, this fourth-rank official racked his brains for a long time, and had to admit that Xu Qi'an's deduction was very reasonable, but there were still many mysteries that had not been solved, such as the fact that Tax Yin fell into the river.

What is the mystery in it, he can't understand it.

"If the grass-roots people help you solve this case, can you write to the saint to exonerate my Xu family from the crimes?"

Dafeng attaches great importance to the inheritance of father and son, and the son will take the place of the father, and can also perform crimes and meritorious deeds for the father.

"Naturally." Chen Fuyin nodded.

Xu Qi'an nodded, and squatted down in front of the utensils. The utensils in front of him were candles, salt, porcelain cups, and iron wire.

What he has to do is simple, high school chemistry knowledge: extract metal sodium.

In ancient times, it was impossible to extract this thing. There are two difficulties: electricity and the melting point of sodium chloride.
