In a magnificent mansion, there was a very elegant study.
The fragrance of incense curled up in the air. Two rows of carved bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books. Among them, there was no lack of rare copies. The paintings and calligraphy on the walls of the room were all the works of famous artists. Any one of them would be a priceless treasure.
A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes was sitting in front of the study table. He was holding an ancient book in his hands and reading it attentively. He was the only person in the study. Other than the occasional sound of pages being flipped, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.
After a while, it seemed that he was tired. The middle-aged man closed the book and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He looked at the bookshelf opposite him and said calmly, "How is the investigation going?"
After a few breaths, a thin figure silently floated out from behind the bookshelf.
"Li Yi, from the Li family village in Anxi County. He passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and became famous in the county. His performance in the following two years was nothing special and there was no news about him. According to the Village Chief of the Li family village, he seemed to have lost his mind a few months ago. His mouth was full of nonsense. After he left the village, he never returned. "An old voice sounded in the study.
"Lost his mind?" The middle-aged man heard this and frowned slightly.
"It seems that the Village Chief's words were not true." There was no emotion in the old voice. After a pause, he said, "This person is extremely talented in literature. Su Xuezheng once praised him as the 'Number One Scholar in the Jing Kingdom'. His poems have reached the point that everyone in the Qing 'an Prefecture knows about them. There is no possibility that he has lost his mind."
"Mr. Su rarely praises people like this." The middle-aged man said with slight surprise.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with his background?"
"Although we have not found out why he appeared in Willow Leaf Village and has a family, there is no problem with his background. He did not deliberately get close to the Crown Prince." There was no change in the old voice's tone. He continued to state, "The Princess's favorite Liu's Candied Haws is his work."
"Speaking of which, I should thank him." The middle-aged man's expression softened. "If it weren't for him, the princess would still be tormented by that strange illness."
"Not only that, in today's Prince's Mansion, from the Princess to the maids, the favorite Ruyi nectar was also made by him." In the shadow of the bookshelf, a thin and small figure was faintly discernible. The voice continued, "Under the instruction of the Crown Prince, the Prince's Mansion has already reached an agreement with him, but …"
The old man's voice was emotionless, as if he was talking about something normal.
If Li Yi was here, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
This old man simply knew him better than he did!
After all, even he himself did not know what had happened before he transmigrated …
Of course, if he knew that the middle-aged man in the study was the famous Ning Wang, the true leader of Qing An Prefectural City, he would not be surprised.
These people of high status and power were all extremely suspicious. They would suspect anyone who approached them, suspecting that they had ulterior motives and had ulterior motives. It was not as simple as just wanting to suck up to them …
"Since he has a scholarly reputation, why would he lower his status and get involved with these mundane affairs?" Ning Wang's expression was slightly puzzled. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. My Mansion owes him a debt of gratitude. Let him take these small advantages. Otherwise, I really do not know how to reward him."
"Other than this, there is one more thing." This time, the old voice finally had a slight change.
"What is it?"
"The Crown Prince is a little strange today."
"What's wrong with Xuan 'er?" Ning Wang looked at the black shadow and asked.
"The Crown Prince has been throwing stones all day."
"Throwing stones?" Ning Wang's expression was puzzled.
"Not only stones, but also leaves, wood, cloth, gold, silver …" There was finally some confusion in the old voice.
…
Dong!
In the Prince's Mansion, Li Xuan asked a guard to stand on the top floor of a two-story building and let two silver ingots of different sizes fall from the same height.
He stared at the ground without blinking. When he heard a sound, he retreated to the side and stared straight ahead, as if he was thinking about something.
Although there was only one sound in his ears, after repeating the same thing countless times, he still found a slight difference.
Two silver ingots did not fall at the same time absolutely.
The trip to Willow Leaf Village seemed to open the door to a new world for him and found a direction for his boring life. Compared with going to the brothel to listen to music, obviously, he was more interested in the two stones.
The questions that Li Yi said sounded strange but implied, which made him very curious. He wanted to find out the truth, but when he really tried to do it, he had no clue.
Why two stones of different weights would fall at the same time, but when a piece of paper and a stone fell at the same time, the stone always fell first.
If the piece of paper was crumpled into a ball, the falling speed would obviously be faster. What was the reason?
Could it be that there was a force that he could not see that was preventing the piece of paper from falling?
After thinking for a long time, Li Xuan could only think of this possibility. He didn't care about the silver on the ground, turned around and walked outside.
"Little Prince, where are you going?" Several guards hurried to follow him.
"To Willow Leaf Village!"
At this moment, Li Xuan wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Willow Leaf Village immediately to find Li Yi and ask what was going on.
…
His rocking chair was taken away by Second Granduncle, so it was impossible to get it back. Li Yi had no choice but to ask Uncle Han to make another one for him.
Uncle Han's craftsmanship was excellent, and he worked quickly. After half a day, Li Yi could lie in the yard and bask in the sun again.
This time, it didn't take long before Fang rushed in and said that the people who came to the village yesterday came again.
Li Xuan sent a few of his guards away, and Old Fang eagerly followed after them.
Yesterday, the fight between the two was stopped before it was over, which made Fang feel a little unsatisfied. Today, he could continue the fight between men.
"Tell me, is there a force that prevents the leaves and the pieces of paper from falling?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked eagerly.
Hearing this, Li Yi was very surprised. How could he think of the problem of air resistance so quickly?
"Yes, in fact, not only the leaves and the pieces of paper, but anything that falls will be affected by this force. However, for the stones, this force is too small. But the leaves and the pieces of paper are originally light, so they will be greatly affected, which is the reason why they fall slower than the stones." In his extremely expectant eyes, Li Yi nodded.
"I knew it was like this!"
Looking at the excited Li Xuan rushing out of the yard with a face full of ecstasy, Li Yi didn't look back for a long time.
He didn't expect that Li Xuan had such a talent in this aspect. Was there finally a new star rising in the scientific world that hadn't developed at all?
