The deception used by the Taoist priests is actually very simple.

In the cauldron he used for the performance, only the top thin layer was real sesame oil.

Underneath that layer of sesame oil is actually all vinegar.

Originally, if you only put these two liquids and wanted to boil, you would have to have a high temperature of 50 or 60 degrees.

Although this temperature will not directly burn people, it is definitely uncomfortable to touch the body.

Therefore, the method learned by the Taoist priest actually put borax in it.

When borax is heated, it reacts with vinegar very quickly and forms a large number of bubbles.

This method not only effectively neutralizes the taste of vinegar, but also significantly reduces the temperature of the liquid.

So that the liquid that originally took 50 or 60 degrees to boil can be boiled at about 40 degrees.

Li Zhi sighed that the Taoist priest's master was very talented, and continued to listen to the confession of a Taoist boy.

At the beginning, there were only three Taoist priests and two Taoist boys.

The pills they sold were just ordinary tonic pills that they bought from pharmacies.

These pills will be reprocessed and sold at a high price as much as possible to make them look like pills.

As the number of deceptions increased, the performance of the three became more realistic, and the flow of people they could attract each time also increased.

But because there was no one to cooperate with them, there were more people watching and fewer people buying every time.

This is how the team grew later.

Today, there are seven people on the team.

Except for the three Taoist priests, who are in charge of the performance, the others will blend into the crowd in advance every time they cheat.

They will cooperate with the Taoist priest's performance at any time according to the situation on the spot.

At the same time, it is also responsible for disrupting the order of the scene in the event of an accident.

When Li Zhi heard this, he had a thorough understanding of their modus operandi.

So he opened his mouth and asked the Taoist boy, "Why do you dare to go to Chang'an City to cheat?" ”

Dao Tong replied, "I didn't dare to wait for the first time.

But firstly, because the scams we set up before were successful, I have some confidence.

The second reason is that I heard that all the officials and masters in Chang'an City are looking for masters who can refine pills.

It occurred to me that instead of running around all day long, it would be better to simply take the risk of deceiving an adult's trust.

At that time, as long as we can get it, we will be able to ensure that we have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. ”

After listening to Dao Tong's words, Li Zhi turned his head to Li Zhe and said, "This king has long expected that such an incident will happen.

For now, I think I'm going to be busy. ”

After saying this, Li Zhi waved his hand at the surrounding officials in annoyance and asked them to take the prisoners away.

Then he walked up to the three students who stood up to expose the Taoist priest.

He didn't wait for the three of them to salute before he opened his mouth and said, "In the future, there will be more and more scammers of all kinds in Chang'an City.

When you get back, tell other students that if you encounter someone suspicious, you should report it to the government immediately. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, the three of them immediately agreed in unison.

Li Zhi encouraged the three of them a few more words before leaving them.

Then he said to Master Duan and Chai Long with a serious face: "The Hundred Horse Division has been training for a short time.

I just took this opportunity to assign them a task, that is, to closely monitor the so-called strange people who suddenly appeared in the capital.

As soon as they find out which adult they have come into contact with, they will notify the king. ”

Master Duan and the two hurriedly agreed, and then ran to make arrangements.

Li Zhi continued to patrol the streets with Li Zhe while frowning and thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Nowadays, many people, including Li Shimin, still blindly believe that there will be elixirs to prolong life in this world.

It's not that these people haven't been exposed to current medicine, and it's not that they're ignorant of science.

However, these advanced theories seem to be useless in the face of the temptation of immortality.

Their thoughts, which are completely out of the realm of reason, will surely attract some people with bad intentions to take the initiative to approach.

At that time, once someone can succeed, the consequences will be ruin, and at worst, they will be directly killed.

What makes Li Zhi feel helpless is that he can't do anything for the time being.

He can only wait for the outlaws to start their operations before he can gather evidence for arrest.

Just when Li Zhi felt at a loss, Li Chengqian was talking to Qin Ying and the others in the prince's mansion at this time.

"The three benevolent brothers are all masters who have learned the Tao for many years, I wonder if they have mastered some pills that can prolong life?"

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked Qin Ying, Wei Lingfu and Zhu Qi.

Qin Ying and the other two glanced at each other before speaking, "Please also ask Your Highness to atone for your sins, we have limited knowledge and have never mastered such immortal recipes." ”

Li Chengqian knew the three of them very well, so he didn't show too much disappointment after hearing this.

He continued, "So... Can three acquaintances know a little bit about it? ”

The three of them each frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook their heads again.

Li Chengqian held on to his last hope and asked again, "Have you ever heard of Immortal Chang refining this kind of elixir?" ”

This time, the three of them pondered for a longer time.

Just when Li Chengqian was already feeling desperate, Zhu Qiqi suddenly spoke: "There is an immortal in the Evergreen View of Luofu Mountain.

His age is unknown, and no one knows his name or road number, only that he lives in seclusion in the backyard of the Taoist temple all the year round.

According to his hearsay, he is at least over 100 years old, and His Highness may be able to ask him for some secrets of immortality. ”

After Li Chengqian listened to Zhu Qiqi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Recently, a group of officials in the city have suddenly become obsessed with the way of immortality, and even his father has not been exempt from vulgarity.

If he could find a set of immortal methods for his father at this time, wouldn't he be able to win his father's favor in an instant?

Thinking of this, he immediately said happily to Zhu Qi: "Thank you Brother Zhu for your advice, this prince will have a big gift later." ”

Zhu Qiqi waved his hand and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to be polite, it's just a message here." ”

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "This news is very important to this prince, so there is no need for Brother Zhu to shirk the reward. ”

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu again.

I only heard him ask, "Have you two remembered any clues?" ”

Qin Ying shook his head again after listening to Li Chengqian's question.

I only heard him speak: "Poor Dao has not heard of any rumors on the rivers and lakes, if His Highness urgently needs Poor Dao, he will seriously investigate." ”

Wei Lingfu on the side also spoke at this time: "Poor Dao also needs to inquire before he can reply to His Highness." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Li Chengqian said: "In this way, there will be two Lao." ”

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, the two exchanged glances very vaguely while not daring to say that they didn't dare to say anything.

Nowadays, the atmosphere that is emerging in Chang'an City involves all powerful people.

If the two of them operate well, wouldn't they be able to soar in the blink of an eye?
