Once these words were spoken.

Li Fu's face turned even paler.

He closed his eyes, completely accepting his fate.

But he was also convinced.

"Minister Gao, I admit defeat, but I just want to ask, why did the blood curse disappear when it entered the wooden bucket?"

"I beg Minister Gao to solve my confusion. Even if I die, I want to be a clear ghost."

Li Fu's cheeks were red, but his eyes carried sincerity.

He really wanted to know this question.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to close his eyes in death.

Gao Yang said indifferently, "I will solve your confusion, but do you dare to say who is the mastermind behind this matter in public?"

Li Fu replied, "I am alone, with no one to rely on, what do I dare not to? Even if you don't say it, I will say it, just as a small favor to you."

Gao Yang smiled, not expecting Li Fu to be so straightforward.

And so decisive, this is a smart person.

"The main component of alum is called dodecahydrate aluminum potassium sulfate, so when you write with alum water, after it dries, the water will evaporate, and a very small amount of aluminum potassium sulfate and other substances will remain on the paper."

"After you spray vinegar on it, the environment of the aluminum ions (Al^{3+}) on it changes. It will undergo hydrolysis and other reactions in an acidic environment, and the so-called blood curse comes from this."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden bucket and said, "As for the solution in this wooden bucket, it is lye."

"When I put this bamboo paper into the lye, the alkali will react with the previously formed coloring substance or the aluminum-containing compounds in the bamboo paper to generate colorless and soluble substances!"

"In this way, the blood curse disappears."

"The principle is probably like this. I said it like this, can you understand?"

Gao Yang stared at Li Fu, asking.

Li Fu looked thoughtful, nodded and said, "So that's it, I understand, and I have learned."

"Defeated in your hands, I don't feel wronged!"

Looking at Li Fu's enlightened look, Gao Yang couldn't help but ask, "Do you really understand?"

Li Fu's old face turned red, and he shook his head, "Minister Gao, to tell you the truth, I didn't understand a word, but it just felt very profound and very reasonable."

Gao Yang nodded, looking serious, "You are very honest."

Afterwards, Gao Yang said, "I have solved your confusion, now it's your turn."

"If you are a little cooperative, I will also be lenient!"

Once these words were spoken, Li Fu didn't hesitate.

"I am willing to die for you!"

On the circular platform, because the two deliberately lowered their voices, especially the latter words, except for Chen Sheng and others who could hear clearly, the people below couldn't hear at all.

The people nearby were like this, not to mention the commoners who were joining in the fun on the periphery.

Pei Cheng's face was ugly.

"Defeated... this time defeated even more miserably than the early morning court!"

"Is this Living Yama an immortal cockroach? How does he know everything? He knows how to trap people, knows human nature, knows business warfare, knows the way of governing the country, and now he even knows street tricks!"

Pei Cheng lost his previous smile, his face gloomy enough to drip ink.

"Father, will this old Taoist betray our Pei family?" Pei Ji asked worriedly.

"He hasn't even been tortured, how could he betray our Pei family?"

Pei Cheng shook his head, very certain.

But at this moment.

Gao Yang stood on the circular platform, raised his voice and questioned, "Speak, who instructed you to do this!"

Li Fu pointed in the direction of Pei Cheng and said sadly.

"Minister Gao, spare my life, all of this was instructed by the Pei family. He said that bamboo paper threatened the status of the Pei family's mulberry paper. He knows paper making too well. You sell it for eighteen coins a sheet, losing one coin a sheet, which is very conscientious, which has left the Pei family with no way out, so he ordered me to use a blood curse to create rumors, wanting to cut off the path of bamboo paper!"

Once Li Fu said this.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

"The Pei family is truly sinister. All of this is a conspiracy created by the Pei family. We are all guns in the hands of the Pei family!"

"I actually wronged Minister Gao, I really deserve to die, all of this is the Pei family's fault!"

"Pei family, you bastards, bamboo paper for eighteen coins a sheet, and I had to queue in the cold wind early in the morning, only to burn it with my own hands. Beasts, truly beasts!"

"The Pei family is truly the shame of our Great Qian, too dirty!"

Pei Cheng looked at Li Fu on the stage, and he was stunned.

This Li Fu actually turned around and sold him out?

He hadn't even been tortured yet, and he sold him out directly?

Although this was indeed instructed by him, he didn't say that the Living Yama was conscientious and lost one coin a sheet! ===== CHAPTER 1521 =====
