These craftsmen are all honest men, and they are always polite and respectful when meeting Song Huan.
The fact that they could act so fiercely in front of Song Huan shows how taboo and sensitive they are about this matter!
Liu Qing wanted to explain something more, but in the face of the passionate crowd, even if he was sweating profusely, it would not help.
However, looking at Song Huan on the side, he was always calm and calm.
He cleared his throat slightly and spoke to the crowd in a vibrating voice: "Masters, please be patient!"
"I came here specially today to solve your problem."
"I believe that all of you here have gone through numerous screenings before you can enter the Daliang No. 1 Steelmaking Plant and become a glorious steelmaking worker."
"To say they are workers is actually not appropriate."
“Everyone has achieved such a position through their own hard work and wisdom.”
"To be precise, everyone relies on their own skills and brains to eat."
"But now, seeing everyone so panicked because of such nonsense as 'haunted', my heart is bleeding!"
"You are supposed to be the embodiment of the wisdom of thousands of craftsmen in Daliang. How can you end up in chaos and panic all day long because of such ridiculous rumors?"
"This is not how you should behave!"
After hearing Song Huan's heartbreaking speech, everyone's expressions began to become complicated.
Some people reflect, some feel guilty, some just wake up from a dream...
Of course, more people still had dissatisfaction on their faces.
Some of the craftsmen who were even more excited immediately took the courage to take a step forward and bowed to Song Huan.
"Your Majesty!"
"Please forgive us for the crime of disrespect, but the recent spate of strange things really can't make us feel at ease!"
"You said that we are the embodiment of Daliang's wisdom, and we do not deny it."
"But there are some things that even the smartest wise men still can't explain!"
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by everyone.
"Yes, my lord!"
"It's not that we are alarmists or ignorant, it's just that the strange things that happened recently are really unbelievable!"
"I have seen each and every one of these with my own eyes!"
"Three murders occurred in four days, and the victims all died in such horrific and bizarre ways!"
"How do you explain this?"
Even Niu Er, the foreman who had always been extremely respectful to Song Huan, couldn't help lowering his voice and timidly said: "Your Majesty, we are working very hard here just to earn a bite of money to eat."
"No one wants something like this to happen!"
"If your life is really lost here, it will be more than worth the loss!"
Song Huan patiently listened to everyone's speeches, showing no sign of being irritable or angry.
"I said that I am here today to solve your problems."
"There are many ways to solve problems, and feudal superstition is obviously not the most effective one."
"Today, I will use the most scientific method to answer your doubts!"
science?
What is science?
Everyone looked at each other and said that they had never heard of this thing in their thirty or forty years of life!
However, after seeing Song Huan lay out the prepared items, everyone's doubts obviously went up to a higher level.
How many handfuls of soil?
A pile of apple cores?
How many glazed covers?
besides……
Two big fat rats?
Everyone was stunned and probably guessed what Song Huan wanted to do next.
It turns out that the prince has always been unwilling to invite eminent monks to pray for blessings, but he actually wanted to do it himself to exorcise evil spirits!
I never expected that Prince Rong could do everything, even knowing such an inscrutable method of exorcising ghosts!
He is indeed the most favored prince by the Holy Emperor right now!
Song Huan grabbed a handful of saline-alkali soil and a handful of apple cores, mixed them evenly, and lit them with an open flame.
Then, with lightning speed, Song Huan picked up the sealed glass cover and covered it with the burning salt-alkali soil mixture.
Everyone stared intently, closely following Song Huan's smooth operation.
Prince Rong's movements were so smooth that it seemed that he had practiced them in private!
I just didn’t know that when this saline-alkali soil mixed with apple cores burned, it could actually have such an effect of exorcising evil spirits!
They thought that Song Huan would make some unexpected move next, but no one expected that Song Huan actually folded his arms and waited aside.
Everyone waited with Song Huan like this for a long time, until the saline-alkali soil was fully burned, but no reaction was seen from Song Huan.
Some people couldn't sit still and couldn't help but remind them: "Your Majesty, the contents inside have been burned!"
Song Huan nodded and said calmly: "Don't worry!"
"Let them react a little longer."
reaction?
What will take a moment to react?
It can’t be saline-alkali soil and apple cores!
The hearts of everyone present were filled with countless question marks. Seeing that Song Huan always looked calm and composed, everyone had no choice but to put their doubts away.
We don’t know what Prince Rong’s plan is, and we don’t dare to ask!
Seeing that the air inside the glass cover was very turbid, Song Huan immediately raised a corner of the cover.
Immediately afterwards, another mouse was quickly stuffed into the glass cover.
In order to create a contrast, Song Huan did not forget to set up another glass cover at the same time and stuffed another mouse into the cover.
"Okay, keep waiting!"
Song Huan's series of operations successfully stunned everyone.
That's it, that's it?
Could it be that Prince Rong planned to use these two fat rats to drive away ghosts?
This is too hasty and perfunctory!
"Your Majesty! Please forgive us for being so outspoken!"
"But in ordinary exorcism of ghosts, shouldn't it be done by chanting sutras and praying for blessings?"
"There are these two big fat rats..."
At this moment, everyone deeply doubted that Song Huan's ability to exorcise ghosts was worse than that of a magic stick!
Song Huan retorted seriously: "Who said that this king is exorcising ghosts?"
"I am obviously doing an experiment!"
"If I want this mouse to die, it will never live another quarter of an hour."
"But if I want the other mouse to live, the other mouse will be safe and sound!"
"If you don't believe it, look at it!"
Everyone looked around and saw that the big fat rat that had been thrown into the salt-alkali soil suddenly started twitching uncontrollably!
Its body became extremely stiff, and the weird purple-red color could even show through its hair.
I saw it squeaking in misery and pain, and a few streaks of dirty blood slowly flowed out along its seven orifices.
After a while, the mouse became stiff and lay on the ground, with no strength to move anymore.
