Chapter 30 Chemistry Class

Zhou looks like a brainless playboy, but he pretends to be so good?

Not necessarily pretending, a playboy does not mean no brains, he used the playboy's means very well, stirring up trouble, using connections, and forcing me to confess... trying to take me away.

Moreover, the sequelae of doing so are very small. Although the imperial examination is approaching, killing an insignificant clerk; a county constable, can it shake the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a dignified third-rank official?

But Zhou did not expect that I not only had a relationship with the Imperial Observatory, but also let the great scholar of Yunlu Academy come forward in person... Thinking of this, Xu Qian'an felt a thrilling feeling of walking on a tightrope.

"Since the day I cracked the tax case, I have offended the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was passively involved.

I was still thinking about staying away from the imperial power, being a rich man with many wives and concubines, and living a boring and plain life.

If Erlang hadn't just sent a poem to the elders of the college, if I hadn't suddenly had a whim a few days ago and wrote some chemistry knowledge based on my memory... I might have been dead.

I didn't even understand the real reason why I was killed, I just thought it was because I offended the second generation of dandy."

The coincidences one after another helped me survive this crisis... It was luck!! Xu Qi'an took a breath and suddenly had an idea: "Miss Caiwei, can you read qi?"

"Yes." Chu Caiwei swallowed the food in her mouth, "The eighth-grade sorcerer is called a qi reader. The qi reading technique is the most basic ability of our sorcerers. All subsequent magical powers are based on qi reading."

She talked about her own cultivation system, and seemed to be talkative and excited, chattering: "But do you know why the ninth grade of sorcerers is not a qi reader but a doctor?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head and asked like a supporting actor: "It's not that all of you sorcerers have a heart to save the dying and heal the wounded."

Chu Caiwei straightened her waist and put on a serious look. She seemed to enjoy the feeling of being a teacher and said:

"Everything in the world has destiny, and people are the most. The eight sufferings of life and the seven emotions and six desires are all destiny. Doctors save the dying and heal the wounded, and they will inevitably be infected with birth, aging, illness and death. Over time, they will be born with a pair of clear eyes that can see through destiny."

I like girls who know everything and are willing to tell me everything...Xu Qiyan said, "Then can you see my fate?"

Chu Caiwei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at him intently. A clear spirit burst out from her dark eyes, which gradually occupied her pupils.

In the gaze of the eyes surrounded by clear light, Xu Qiyan's spiritual sense was touched, and he felt uncomfortable as if a thorn was in his back.

After a while, the light in Chu Caiwei's eyes faded, and her face returned to normal: "Qi Shu is light red mixed with black air."

"What do you mean?"

"Red means that you are an official. But the light color means that you are a low-level clerk. Black air is a symbol of bad luck. I think you understand this very well."

Xu Qian'an frowned and asked tentatively: "Is there no other color? For example, the color that symbolizes the son of destiny."

"You can say this in front of me. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it is a crime of disrespect. Except for the emperor, no one dares to call himself the son of destiny." Chu Caiwei was shocked. It's okay to be disrespectful, but where does this person get the confidence to think that he is the son of destiny?

Julong Julong, open your eyes and look again! !

She can't see it, maybe it's a rank problem, or my European emperor physique has nothing to do with Qi Shu... Xu Qian'an looked calm on the surface, but his thoughts were ups and downs.

Bang!

Chu Caiwei slapped Xu Qi'an's hand that was holding the food, puffed up her cheeks, and expressed her displeasure: "Wait until I'm full, I'll give you food after I'm full."

Xu Qi'an took a look at the half-eaten sumptuous food, secretly guessing how pregnant she was now.

"By the way, how is the current situation of the Minister of Revenue?" Xu Qi'an sat up straight and didn't look at the food.

"The Minister of Revenue impeached Minister Zhou a few days ago, and the memorial was suppressed by His Majesty." Chu Caiwei said, paused, and added:

"The two committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

So there is no evidence? But these days, if the emperor really wants to kill someone, there is no need for evidence. Everyone can make their own judgments. It may also involve party struggles. Or the emperor may have other ideas. Well, I don't know about the affairs of the court. After all, I have never been involved. I have to find an old official to test the waters. So Xu Qi'an tried to find out, but Chu Caiwei was not interested in the affairs of the court and did not give any valuable information. "Oh, you are so annoying. We in the Imperial Observatory do not ask about the affairs of the court." When she was asked anxiously, her eyebrows were raised and she looked unhappy. I seemed to have hit her self-esteem as a teacher... Xu Qi'an was tactful and stopped asking. ......

"How much silver is this table?" Xu Qi'an was eating happily. After eating and drinking, Chu Caiwei counted on her fingers for a long time, and then there was nothing else. "Hmm?" Xu Qi'an looked up. "I gave the store 4 taels of silver, and I got back 1 tael, 3 qian and 60 copper coins." Chu Caiwei said in distress: "How much did I spend?"

The frowning look was very cute, which reminded Xu Qiyan of the look of a seven-year-old girl doing math problems.

"..." Xu Qiyan pondered: "I don't know either."

One tael of silver is equal to eight qian, and one qian is equal to one hundred wen. Because it is not a 10:1 ratio, it greatly increases the difficulty of calculation.

Judging from her appearance, she probably only knows how to read, but has not learned arithmetic.

So Xu Qiyan will not be a hero.

Chu Caiwei's eyebrows curved when she heard it, and she felt that Xu Qiyan was a kindred spirit.

"Then how did you solve the case so well?"

"I thought about it for a long time."

"Oh." Chu Caiwei stared at him: "You don't seem to be happy with the meal?"

"No, it just tastes ordinary."

"Nonsense, this is Zuixinju, the best restaurant in the southern part of the city."

"I've eaten better ones."

Chu Caiwei's eyes lit up.

Xu Qian'an continued: "Come to my house when you have time, I'll make delicious food for you."

.....

Alchemy room.

A group of people in white clothes surrounded the experimental equipment and stared at Song Qing's operation.

The porcelain cup as thin as an eggshell was roasted on the candle, steam curled, and the water in the porcelain cup evaporated and crystals precipitated.

Song Qing flicked his fingers, and a cluster of bright flames wrapped around the crystals and slowly melted.

"If I had this skill in my previous life, I would light a cigarette with a flick of my finger, which would definitely be a weapon for picking up girls..." Xu Qian'an envied the fancy sorcerer.

The sodium chloride crystals melted, and Song Qing showed a solemn look. He had been stuck in the next step countless times in the past:

Lightning strike!

Song Qing subconsciously looked at Xu Qiyan beside him.

Including the big-eyed cute girl Chu Caiwei, the other white-clothed people looked at Xu Dalang.

Xu Dalang nodded expressionlessly.

He didn't even give instructions... This means that all my steps so far are fine... Song Qing was relieved and snapped his fingers.

A faintly bright arc suddenly flashed in the air and continued to be injected into the porcelain cup.

"Hold your breath."

Suddenly, everyone heard Xu Qiyan's voice and held their breath without hesitation.

In fact, even if you inhale the toxic gas directly, you non-humans will be fine... Xu Qiyan just asked everyone to hold their breath out of inertia.

The next moment, a scene that shocked the white-clothed people of the Sitianjian happened.

Irregular silver-white blocks formed in the porcelain cup, which looked exactly like silver, and the edges of the blocks were covered with fine salt that had not been completely converted.

"It's done, it's done..."

"Brother Song Qing, how did you do it?"

The white-clothed people were shocked. They had never succeeded before, but this time they could refine fake silver in one go.

As expected, Miss Caiwei was able to refine fake silver that day, and she succeeded in one go. She was either lucky... No, she was lucky because I was by her side, and it involved me... Xu Qiyan watched silently, verifying his guess.

Song Qing looked at the fake silver, then at the excited junior brothers, his face slightly blank.

I haven't changed much... It was always like this before... Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Qiyan, and found that the little constable was not surprised at all, his eyes were dark, and he seemed to have expected it.

Song Qing's heart moved: "Xu Ningyan, do you know the reason?"

Chu Caiwei, who was thinking, immediately looked at Xu Qiyan.

The other white-robed people turned their heads.

Xu Qian'an stood with his hands behind his back and smiled: "You shouldn't ask me this question. A mature alchemist should learn to think independently."

"I think you should be able to realize the key to the problem."
