There is a very simple test method for Shi Wan. You only need to scrape off a little powder and put it into the goat's milk. You can judge it based on the color change of the goat's milk.
Naturally, the Ding family would have goat's milk, which was quickly delivered. Hu Qiong scraped a little powder from each of the two pills and put it into the goat's milk for testing.
As soon as the powder was immersed in the goat's milk, it immediately turned bright orange, and Hu Qiong suddenly showed a surprised expression.
After staying for a few seconds, he said with some difficulty: "Well... Judging from the results, it is indeed the truth pill!"
In fact, Hu Qiong did not need to confirm. Seeing the discoloration of the goat milk, Zhang Da and Cheng Ke were already sure that it was the truth pill! Where did Li Xuan get the truth pill?
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard Hu Qiong's confirmation.
There were some people who were originally waiting for Li Xuan to make a fool of themselves, but they were all dumbfounded at this moment. As the elders of the five elders, Zhang Da and Cheng Ke were of course very clear about the detection method of the truth pill.
After seeing the color of goat milk, no matter how much they refused to believe it in their hearts, they could only believe the reality they saw with their eyes.
Li Xuan can actually get the truth pill! How did this guy do it?
"Since there are no questions, I wonder if you two are willing to fulfill your promise just now and take the truth pill to answer my questions?
Just a small question can prove your innocence. I think you two attach so much importance to honor that you will not refuse, right?
Of course you can also refuse..." Li Xuan said with a smile, exactly like a cunning hunter who dug a trap for his prey, then sweet-talked the trap into a warehouse full of food, and coaxed the prey into falling into the pit.
The expressions of Zhang Da and Cheng Ke both changed. If that was really a truth pill... their hearts were racing, and they both regretted what they said just now! If they had known this, they shouldn't have done it anyway.
Why did you agree to take truth pills? Seeing the uncertain expressions on their faces, Li Xuan sneered: "If you two refuse, can I assume that there is something wrong with you?"
"That's not what you said! There is no need for the two elders to do such a thing!"
Hu Qiong couldn't help but asked, "Does everyone need to take truth pills to prove their innocence after being accused? How can there be such a reason in the world?"
"Yeah...it really doesn't make sense.
In order to prevent you from thinking that I am bullying others, why not do this?
If the two elders take the pill of truth and can prove that they did not intentionally hit my cousin in a bet last night, then I, Li Xuan, am willing to pay the price for the crime of framing the two elders. Not only will I apologize to you, but I will also give you money.
Pay five hundred thousand taels of silver to compensate the two of you!"
Li Xuan said calmly.
"Five hundred thousand taels!"
There was a gasp of air in the hall.
Even for the Ding family and the Sa family, five hundred thousand taels is definitely not a small amount, not to mention other ordinary nobles and those businessmen who are only interested in profit and treat every tael of silver as their own father.
Li Xuan took out 500,000 silver taels as a bet. In the eyes of everyone, this sincerity was not enough.
If Zhang Da and Cheng Ke still refuse to agree, that is really doubtful! Zhang Da and Cheng Ke were forced to the cliff by Li Xuan. It doesn't matter whether they agree or not.
It happened that at this moment, Ding Zhen actually joined in the fun and added: "I also have a painting by Liu Shizhai in my collection.
If Mr. Li Xuan really misunderstood you two, as the owner of this place, I am also willing to compensate you for the painting!"
Many people showed shocked expressions. Liu Shizhai's paintings, even if they are of ordinary quality, are still valuable! "Pfft..." Zhang Da and Cheng Ke almost vomited blood after being stabbed with the knife. Didn't this push us down the cliff?
?
Ding Zhen, we have no grievances, what are your intentions? How could they know that after seeing Li Xuan's method of refining elixirs, Ding Zhen had already made up his mind to stand firmly on Li Xuan's side.
Let alone two bronze elders from the five major elder groups, Ding Zhen would stab a silver elder or even a gold medal elder in the back without any ambiguity! "What should I do?"
Zhang Da glanced at Cheng Ke and asked silently.
A cunning light flashed in Cheng Ke's eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, a small bottle slipped silently into Zhang Da's hand.
"Eat the pill inside, and the five hundred thousand silver taels and the painting will be ours!"
Cheng Ke whispered.
"This is..." Holding the small bottle, Zhang Da was a little surprised.
"Soul-Calming Pill."
Cheng Kedao.
It’s a soul-soothing pill! Zhang Da couldn’t help but feel happy.
The soul-suppressing pill is a kind of elixir used by monks to strengthen the soul. To put it bluntly, the soul-soothing pill is a pill that digs deep into the secrets of the soul. The soul-suppressing pill happens to be the nemesis of the truth pill, which can greatly weaken the effect of the truth pill.
After getting the soul-soothing pill, Zhang Da suddenly became confident, and his eyes when he looked at Li Xuan were full of pity.
Poor man, you sacrificed two truth pills and five hundred thousand taels, but what you got in exchange was to make a fool of yourself in front of so many celebrities and nobles in Maplewood City. You are so stupid, does your mother know?
Pretending to cough and using the cover of his sleeves, Zhang Da swallowed the soul-soothing pill into his stomach. The medicine's power quickly dissolved, making him feel full of energy and clear mind.
"The honor of the five elders cannot be desecrated. In order to prove our innocence, please bring those two truth pills.
We will show with actions that the five elders are all truly honest people, people who regard honor as their life, and people who cannot be discredited by any slander or rumors!"
Zhang Da felt his spirit lifted and said with high spirits.
I don't know who was the first to applaud, and there was a burst of sparse applause in the hall.
Amid applause, two truth pills were delivered to Zhang Da and Cheng Ke.
Li Xuan reminded with a smile: "You two, please don't forget what I said. If you are honest people, I am willing to apologize and compensate you.
But if you lie and do something wrong, you will be run over by my carriage!"
"no problem!"
Zhang Da and Cheng Ke had the blessing of the soul-soothing pill, so they agreed without hesitation and swallowed the truth pill directly! Everyone immediately pricked up their ears to see whether it was Li Xuan who was disgraced or the five elders who had lost their armor.
Woolen cloth?
Was it Li Xuan who suffered a massive hemorrhage, or was it Zhang Da and Cheng Ke who were completely embarrassed?
Anyway, tonight will end with someone being unlucky. Thinking of this, the bystanders who like to watch the fun couldn't help but get excited! When they were excited, they suddenly heard a burst of crying in their ears. The crying sounded like
The child whose lollipop was snatched away was in a state of uproar, the earth was falling apart, and his nose and tears were streaming down his face! Who was crying so miserably?
