Chapter 216 Shame

"So you planned to kill a living person for your own selfishness. You are really vicious and unforgivable!"

Ding Gaochang was so angry that his voice trembled: "Come here, take this beast back and interrogate him carefully. Take Qi Shen with him and torture him severely. Let him know the consequences of harming others!"

"Yes!" The constables and bailiffs all responded.

During this period of time, because of the matter of the water ghost, they were afraid to act rashly and let these two guys ride on their heads and pee and shit on them. They felt very aggrieved. Now that the matter was clear and they had to deal with these two guys, the constables and yamen runners felt extremely relieved. They finally had a place to vent their previous resentment, so they dragged Qi He away.

After seeing this scene and hearing what Qi He had said, the villagers stood there in a daze for a long time without making a move.

It's fake and deceptive.

Both of these people are liars.

The so-called real person they believed in these days was nothing more than a gambler who lost money and was trying to cheat money from them.

There were no water ghosts at all, and there was no such thing as water ghosts taking lives. There were just two complete liars who fooled everyone in their village.

They were deceived into this state and knew nothing at all. They even helped them to go to the yamen to demand people back, scold the constables, and beat the yamen runners. Because Daya refused to be the water ghost's bride, they even went to Daya's door and scolded her for being ungrateful and not thinking about others.

Aren't they typical of being sold out without knowing it, and even helping the scammers count the money? This...

It's so embarrassing.

"Just now, everyone has seen it. This is just two complete liars who are here to defraud people of their money. There is no water ghost at all. Even the saying that a water ghost gets married is nonsense."

Ding Gaochang said in a clear voice: "You don't have to be afraid of the water ghost anymore. You need to be more careful in the future and know how to distinguish right from wrong."

After hearing what Ding Gaochang said, the villagers, who already felt extremely ashamed, felt even more guilty. Their faces turned as red as red cloth and almost bled.

"But……"

Some people still had doubts and stood up: "But the real person showed everyone how to fish out copper coins from an oil pan, draw water from a bamboo basket, and stand chopsticks in the water..."

"Could it be that these are all fake? They are not his abilities? We have seen these with our own eyes..."

"yes."

"yes."

Some people raised questions, and some people who also had doubts nodded in agreement.

After all, it was something I saw with my own eyes, so there should be no mistake about it.

Ding Gaochang raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, it was exactly as he had guessed, and he finally came to this point. Fortunately, he was prepared.

"Please be patient, and let this girl explain this matter to everyone."

Ding Gaochang nodded to Zhuang Qingning.

It looks like it's her turn to perform.

Zhuang Qingning, who had been watching the whole show with her face veiled, had already prepared everything and walked to the front. Several yamen runners followed behind and brought up the things that Zhuang Qingning had asked them to prepare.

A charcoal stove with a small pot on top.

There was a curl of hot steam coming out of the pot. After a while, bubbles started to appear and the pot began to boil.

Zhuang Qingning took out a copper coin that he had prepared and put it into the pot. The coin sank to the bottom of the pot with a ding-dong sound.

Seeing that it was obvious that they were going to perform a scene of fishing out copper coins from boiling oil in front of everyone, the villagers immediately gathered around, ready to take a closer look.

"As you can see, this is indeed a boiling oil pan, and there is a copper coin in it. I will fish it out now."

After Zhuang Qingning finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, reached his hand into the bubbling oil pan, quickly fished out the copper coin, and held it up to show everyone.

"Here, fish out the copper coins from the oil pan."

The villagers were all stunned. They looked at each other and were unable to utter a word for a long time.

"And this is something that not only I can do, but others can do too."

Zhuang Qingning threw the copper coin back into the oil pan. A yamen runner rolled up his sleeves and fished out the copper coin. He threw the copper coin back into the pan. Another yamen runner fished it out again...

The villagers were stunned to see the yamen runners fish out the copper coin from the oil pan with such ease, as if they were scooping water from an ordinary water tank.

"You see, anyone can do it." Zhuang Qingning said, "You can also give it a try."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"We?" The villagers were stunned again. The timid ones naturally waved their hands, but there were also brave ones who walked forward and tentatively reached into the pot.

"Huh?" The man who stretched out his hand was stunned at first, then he reached into the pot and fished out the copper coin, holding the copper coin excitedly to show others: "Really, this oil pan is not hot at all, it's like warm water, this oil pan fishing for copper coins is really a lie!"

"The oil pan is boiling like that, but it's not hot?" Someone was surprised, looking at the hands and arms of the person who fished out the copper coins, which were safe and sound, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course it's not hot." Zhuang Qingning replied, "The wok is not filled with oil alone, but with oil on top and vinegar at the bottom."

"Oil is light and vinegar is heavy, and the two do not mix. When you pour both of them into a pot, the vinegar will sink to the bottom of the pot, while the oil will float on top. The vinegar will boil easily. When the vinegar boils, the oil is not hot, but it is bubbling because of the boiling of the vinegar, as if it is boiling. So when you put your hand in the oil pot at this time, the oil pot will naturally not be hot, and it will be easy to pick up a copper coin from the oil pot."

"If you still don't believe it, go home and try it yourself, and you'll know everything. In addition to this method, some people use only oil and boil it, but they put a layer of wax on their hands. When they quickly put them into the pot, the wax on their hands will not melt, which can isolate the heat and prevent their hands from being burned."

"So if you see this on a normal day, don't think this person has any spiritual power, and don't think it's something strange. It's just a trick."

After Zhuang Qingning finished his explanation, the villagers suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is." "But they are all lies." "If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have believed the lies of those two liars..."

Such words can be heard all the time.

Even Ding Gaochang couldn't help but nodded: "I see."

He had been skeptical about the copper coins being fished out of the oil pan before, but he never thought it was such a simple trick. Now that he understood it, he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that next time when I encounter such a rare thing, I can't just think it's strange and unusual, I have to try it myself. Who knows, I might know what the problem is.

While Ding Gaochang was thinking about this, Zhuang Qingning had already taken out a bowl and chopsticks.

"As for the method of standing chopsticks in water, there is no need to explain it." Zhuang Qingning took the chopsticks and placed them in the bowl, saying: "If the bottom of the bowl is flat enough, and the bottom of the chopsticks is flat enough, they can both stand up."
