In his previous life, Li Zexuan had encountered such a phenomenon. Sometimes in summer, the water in the freezer would not freeze for a long time, but when it was placed on the table or shaken by hand, it would freeze in one or two seconds. It was very magical!
Later, Li Zexuan searched on the Internet and found out that this kind of water was called "supercooled water." It was because the water was too pure and lacked the required coagulants or other reasons that the water would not freeze when it was below zero degrees Celsius.
The state of supercooled water was very unstable. It would freeze instantly if it was disturbed slightly. This unstable state was called "metastable state." If a small amount of solid matter was added, or the water was shaken gently, or the surrounding temperature was raised, the water would immediately crystallize and solidify. The purer the water, the more obvious the supercooled phenomenon. If it was high-purity water, it would only freeze when it was -40 degrees Celsius.
In the same year as Li Zexuan, there was a cartoon called "The Haier Brothers." In it, there was a segment about supercooled water. The two brothers came across a pond that did not freeze when it was below zero degrees Celsius. The elder brother threw a stone into the water, and the whole pond quickly froze! Of course, this was only a theoretical situation. It was impossible in reality because the water quality of the pond was not that good. There would definitely be all kinds of impurities and plankton in the pond, which could be used as coagulants. Thus, the supercooled phenomenon would not appear.
Therefore, when Li Tai asked this question today, Li Zexuan could answer it so quickly!
On the other side of the telegraph, after the code sent by Li Zexuan was translated into Chinese, Li Tai, Sun Zifan, Di Zhixun, and the others all widened their eyes in astonishment. Today, not only did they know the secret of making ice in summer, but they also knew how to turn water into ice. If this had happened in the past, it would have been the means of immortals in the eyes of the world!
"I knew that Du E was bluffing again. Now it seems that he was right!"
Li Tai shouted as he slapped his thigh.
Di Zhixun frowned and said, "Now, we can be absolutely sure that Du E is not the reincarnation of some deity or Buddha. His so-called immortal arts are just some kind of clever magic tricks that can be explained with engineering knowledge!
Although we didn't catch Ye Hong alive this time, and we don't have sufficient evidence to prove that Du E is the real murderer of Jin Wanfu, we can expose the immortal arts that Du E showed to the world before, so that he can no longer deceive the world with the identity of the reincarnation of Gods and Buddhas!
One had to know that the Heavenly Dragon Faction's members were spread all over the world. Some were businessmen, some were servants, and some were officials in the imperial court. The more members there were, the greater their ability to wreak havoc! This time, Du E took advantage of Ye Hongda's identity as the Chief Jailer of the Supreme Judiciary to sneak into the prison and kill people. Who knew whether or not he would enter the palace and assassinate under the lead of some palace attendants in the future?
Therefore, the power of the Heavenly Dragon Faction must be weakened. Otherwise, if we let it continue to develop, the influence of the Heavenly Dragon Faction will spread all over the world, even to the various departments of the imperial court. That would be too terrifying! "
Hearing this, Li Tai's expression turned serious. After a moment of silence, he said, "Zhixun, you are right. Whether or not Du E is the real murderer of Jin Wanfu, we can't let the Heavenly Dragon Faction continue to grow. I will report this matter to Father later and let him make a decision!"
Beep, beep, beep ~!
Li Tai's voice fell, and the telegraph suddenly rang again. Sun Zifan quickly said, "Qingque, Yamachō is calling again. Quickly record the code!"
Without Sun Zifan saying anything, Li Tai had already picked up a pen and began to record the code that Li Zexuan sent over.
"The Heavenly Dragon Faction sent out Sakyamuni Du E to use clumsy tricks to mislead the world. They are definitely not good people. Qingque, you must report this to His Majesty and let him be more vigilant! Jin Wanfu's case is likely just a wedge. The Heavenly Dragon Faction must have a bigger conspiracy in the dark!
A thousand li dike can be destroyed by an ant's nest. The followers of the Heavenly Dragon Faction are like thousands of ants, infiltrating every corner of the empire. No one knows when, where, and how they will attack. The dangers hidden in the dark are the scariest!
The most important thing for the imperial court now is to guard against Heavenly Dragon Faction spies like Ye Hong. If any ministers or palace attendants join the Heavenly Dragon Faction and work for them, His Majesty's safety will be threatened. Qingque, you must remind His Majesty to be fully prepared! "
On the other end of the telegraph, Li Zexuan sent a telegram worriedly.
At this point, whether Jin Wanfu was killed by Sakyamuni Du E or where the thirty thousand Tang Yuan Jin Wanfu swallowed went, these questions were no longer important. Through the murderer's method of killing, Li Zexuan saw an even greater danger hidden in the dark of the empire. The Heavenly Dragon Faction made Sakyamuni Du E into a mortal Buddha to attract followers from all walks of life. If they wanted to launch a coup, there might be countless followers and soldiers in Chang 'an to open the city gates for them!
This was what Li Zexuan was most worried about!
But at the same time, he had some doubts in his heart because according to the original history, there was no such thing as the Dragon God Sect in the Tang Dynasty. Why would there be such a powerful Dragon God Sect popping up now? Could it be that his appearance had caused a change in history that he could not control?
Could this be the legendary butterfly effect?
"Zhixun, it seems that Yamachō has the same idea as you. You wait here for a moment, I'll go to the palace!"
After translating the telegram and reading the contents, Li Tai stood up and said to Di Zhixun and the others.
"Well! Let's get down to business, Qingque! "
Di Zhixun and Sun Zifan said in unison.
Li Tai made an obeisance and turned to leave.
…
"… Your Majesty, we did not find anything that could prove their identity. I asked the shopkeepers of the 108 workshops in Chang 'an to identify the bodies, but none of the assassins were from Chang' an. But according to the shopkeeper of the Chen's Carriage Company, Ye Hong went to the Chen's Carriage Company to hire a carriage at a quarter to five in the morning. At that time, Ye Hong looked very excited and kept murmuring," I'm going to become an immortal and live forever. "So I suspect that Ye Hong must have been lured by someone to go to the Shili Slope!"
In the Sweet Dew Hall, Li Er sat on the main seat with a gloomy face. Liu Dewei stood below the hall and carefully reported the case to Li Er.
Li Er said coldly, "A small prison guard actually made the other party send men of sacrifice to kill him. How much strength does the mastermind have?"
Liu Dewei quickly made an obeisance and said, "I've failed in my governance and did not maintain the security of the capital, allowing the mastermind to go unpunished. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Li Er's eyes flashed and said, "Men of sacrifice actually appeared outside Chang 'an, right under the emperor's feet. As the Minister of the Supreme Court, of course you can't avoid the responsibility. But the most important thing now is to find the mastermind behind this and wipe out this hidden force in one fell swoop! I'll give you five days. You must give me a result within five days. I'll send a team of imperial guards to the Supreme Court for you to command! "
Liu Dewei heard this and could not help but complain in his heart. Because with Ye Hong's death, all the clues had been cut off. He really did not have the confidence to find the mastermind within five days! But he could not disobey the emperor's order. Even if he knew it would be difficult, he had to agree!
"I, Liu Dewei, obey the emperor's order!"
Liu Dewei bowed and said.
"Well!"
Li Er nodded.
At this moment, a chamberlain ran in and bowed, "Your Majesty, King Wei requests an audience!"
"Hmm? Qing Que? Why did he return to the palace? Quickly! "
Li Er frowned and was puzzled because Li Tai had just entered the palace to greet Empress Zhangsun in the morning! But thinking of Liu Dewei saying that Li Tai, Di Zhixun, and the rest were involved in solving the case, Li Er suddenly realized something and hurriedly said to the chamberlain.
"Yes!"
The chamberlain received the order and left. After a while, Li Tai walked into the main hall.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
Li Tai walked to Liu Dewei's side and bowed to Li Er.
"No need for formalities!"
Li Er waved his hand and asked directly, "Qing Que, for you to enter the palace again, do you have something important to report?"
Li Tai nodded and said, "Replying to Imperial Father, this son does indeed have an important matter! It's about the Venerable of the Dragon Sect, Du E! "
Li Er's eyes lit up and hurriedly said, "Oh? Quickly say it! "
Li Tai cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "This time, the Supreme Court came out of the city to capture Ye Hong. Although they were late and caused Ye Hong to be killed by the assassin and all the clues were cut off, we have already obtained evidence that Du E deceived the people. He is not the reincarnation of some Buddha. The Celestial Arts he displayed before were all tricks to confuse the people into joining his Dragon Sect!"
Hearing this, Li Er's eyes narrowed and said with a serious expression, "Qing Que, what you said, do you have any basis?"
The reason why Li Er did not touch Du E now was not only because there was no conclusive evidence, but also because Du E was a living Buddha in the eyes of the people. If he was rashly arrested, it might cause a revolt! Now that Li Tai said that Du E's Celestial Arts were all tricks to deceive people, Li Er saw some opportunities to break the situation!
Li Tai nodded and said with a serious face, "Imperial Father, what your son said, of course, has a basis! The Levitation Technique and Ice Touch Technique that Du E displayed to the people can all be explained by the truth of the world. As long as the method is right, any ordinary person can do it! For example, this Levitation Technique, he is just … "
In order to make Old Li believe that Du E was a swindler who deceived the people, Li Tai explained the principles of the Levitation Technique and Ice Touch Technique in detail. At the end, in order to increase the credibility, Li Tai even brought up Li Zexuan. He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said to Li Er:
"Your son contacted the Yamachō 15 minutes ago and told the Yamachō about the Dragon Sect and Jin Wanfu's case. The Yamachō has a few words for your son to pass to Imperial Father!"
"Li Zexuan?"
Li Er's heart skipped a beat and he said to Zhao Song, "Quickly bring it up!"
There was even a hint of excitement in his tone!
This was because when the Dragon Sect first came out to stir up trouble, Li Er wanted to hear Li Zexuan's opinion. After all, Li Zexuan was the real deal. Not only was he full of ideas, but he was also full of ideas. Therefore, Li Tai's telegram was timely!
"Yes!"
Zhao Song bowed and accepted the order. He quickly walked to Li Tai and took the paper, then handed it to Li Er. Li Er eagerly opened it and read the contents carefully. "The Dragon Sect sent Sakyamuni Du E, using clumsy tricks to claim to be an Immortal Technique …"
At this moment, Liu Dewei was still in a state of shock. He was shocked that all of Du E's Immortal Techniques were actually deceptive tricks. Of course, he was even more shocked that Li Tai and Li Zexuan were actually able to 'break through' Du E's Immortal Techniques so quickly. After all, he'd pondered over the Immortal Techniques that Du E had executed in private on more than one occasion, but he hadn't been able to figure them out in the end!
After a moment of silence in the hall, Li Er finally finished reading the contents of the paper. At this time, his old face had become incomparably gloomy. Obviously, Li Zexuan's words had struck a sensitive nerve in Li Er.
"Minister Liu, immediately bring people to seal up the Dragon Sect and arrest the Dragon Head of the Dragon Sect as well as Sakyamuni Du E!"
Li Er said coldly.
There was a hint of determination in his voice. At this moment, the iron-blooded Emperor was back!
Liu Dewei raised his eyebrows and quickly cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, this old subject does not have any evidence of Sakyamuni Du E's crimes. I'm afraid that rashly arresting them will cause widespread criticism!"
"Hmph! How can there be no evidence? Regardless of whether Jin Wanfu was killed by Du E or not, just based on his clumsy tricks, falsely claiming to be God and Buddha, and misleading the people to join the Dragon Sect, he should be arrested! "
Li Er snorted coldly.
Now that the mysterious veil on Du E's body had been removed, how could Li Er, who originally wanted to deal with the Dragon Sect, endure it? It was already good enough that he did not directly send an army to encircle and annihilate the Dragon Sect. How could he let Du E of the Dragon Sect continue to get away scot-free and bewitch the people?
Liu Dewei suddenly understood and quickly cupped his hands. "This old subject obeys the decree!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left the hall.
"Alright, Qing Que, you can also leave! You have done well in this matter! As for the matter mentioned by Li Zexuan, you don't have to worry. This Emperor will make arrangements! "
Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, Li Er looked at Li Tai and said warmly.
Li Tai solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Then, this subject will take his leave! Imperial Father and Imperial Mother must strengthen the guards in the palace and take care of yourselves! "
Li Er's heart warmed. He nodded and replied, "En! You can go! "
Hearing this, Li Tai cupped his hands and left.
