Chapter 847 Truth Medicine

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Li Yu brought Kaiden to Clara and asked her to learn mainland lingua franca from Clara first.

Kaiden herself is a genius in language. She has already mastered seven languages ​​when she was on Earth, and it will not be difficult for her to learn one more.

And she is also planning to take this opportunity to collect information on the politics, economy, culture and other aspects of the new world to provide a basis for decision-making for subsequent actions.

Niu Xiangui and other time-travelers heard that new people had arrived, and some people even came to watch.

Kaiden communicated with them in Chinese, but no one could tell that she was actually a foreigner.

Moreover, Kayden's attitude is also very good. He does not show any arrogance of a former Wall Street elite and basically answers all questions.

Niu Xiangui asked her about her previous job, and Kaiden replied that she was a reporter.

Then she noticed that Niu Xiangui looked at her in a strange way.

"Any questions?" Kayden asked.

"No, no." Niu Xiangui shook his head quickly, "Journalists are good, reporters are good, the good thing about it is..."

Niu Xiangui held it in for a long time but didn't expect the reporter to do anything good. Finally, he could only forcefully change the topic, "Did you die of overwork too?"

"No, I have a family hereditary disease." Kaiden was a little surprised and glanced at the other people, "Are you all working overtime?"

"That's not true," Niu Xiangui said, "like Lao Zhu, he was stabbed to death for his own righteousness, but our deaths were more or less related to work."

"Oh...that's so unfortunate. Health should always come first."

"But those bosses will never understand this truth." Niu Xiangui sneered, "After all, our health has nothing to do with them.

"They only care about performance indicators one after another, and unfortunately there is nothing to restrain them on the other side. But it is different in Bratis, we have double holidays."

"Sorry, I'm just here. Is our church very strong here?" Kaiden asked.

"That's right," Liu Xuebin continued, "Especially in the Western Region, there is no church that can compare with us. Well, there might have been before, and there was an indigenous sect called the Silver Moon Church that was quite powerful.

"But it has fallen apart now. It is difficult to find followers of the Silver Moon Goddess here anymore. The high priest of the Silver Moon Church is now also a student of the Prophet Merlin."

"Thanks to the Prophet Merlin on Saturday, everyone here can have a mandatory weekend off. The noble lords are also afraid of us. What they fear most now is the appearance of the judges of the Inquisition in their territory."

"That's pretty good." Kayden agreed.

"Yes, if I hadn't run several bathhouses now and couldn't get away, I would have wanted to join the tribunal." Niu Xiangui said.

"There is nothing in this world that is more enjoyable than working overtime."

…………

Kaiden then asked Niu Xiangui and others some questions, and made an appointment to go see a movie together on the weekend.

On the other side, Li Yu also returned to the city lord's mansion.

Miss Rabbit is busy trying a case at the moment. The two people involved are both nobles. A knight accused his lord's youngest son of insulting his wife when he was not at home.

The lord's youngest son insisted that it was the knight's wife who seduced him first. The two of them had an affair each, and they quarreled in front of Ilea.

After listening to the two people's statements, the girl also found it a bit tricky, mainly because neither party had any evidence, and both insisted that what they told was the truth and that the other party was lying.

They even fought together in front of Miss Rabbit, but fortunately they were quickly separated by the guards, but both of them looked angry and stared at each other.

The female lord couldn't see who was guilty, and was planning to hold a trial by combat in accordance with the tradition on the Bratis continent.

At this moment, she saw the familiar figure by the door again, and her eyes lit up, "Prophet Merlin, when did you come back?"

"I came here after finishing my work. It's been a while," Li Yu said.

The two nobles also bowed quickly after seeing Li Yu and did not continue to argue.

"Then you have also heard their testimonies. Is there any way to tell which of them is lying?"

Li Yu nodded, "Of course, I can give each of them a truth pill. Those who lie will die within four days after swallowing the pill, but those who tell the truth will live."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he turned to look at the two nobles, "Are you willing to take truth serum?"

"I do!" the knight said without hesitation.

The other person hesitated for a moment and said, "I can eat it too. I believe our Lord will give us a fair result on Saturday."

Hearing this, Li Yu called Donya and whispered a few words into her ear. The latter nodded and left in a hurry.

She came back ten minutes later, walked up to the two nobles, stretched out a hand, opened her palm, and found two pink pills in it.

The two men each picked up a piece, put it into their mouths, and swallowed it.

Donya then asked them to open their mouths and checked their oral cavity to prevent anyone from pretending to swallow the medicine but spitting out the medicine after they got out.

Fortunately, no one did this.

After the two of them left, Miss Rabbit immediately smiled and said, "You still have such a powerful thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? We don't have to worry about the prisoners lying when we interrogate them."

"I don't have that kind of medicine." Li Yu said calmly, "It's just an ordinary vitamin tablet."

Miss Rabbit had been with Li Yu for a long time and now knew what vitamins were. She couldn't help but be stunned, "Huh?"

Li Yu said, "It's not worth risking your life for this kind of thing. If someone lies, they should come to me and confess within four days."

"Then what if no one comes to find you?" Ilea asked.

"That means what both of them said is true."

"How is this possible?" The female lord was surprised.

"It is possible. If the knight's wife and the lord's youngest son were caught having an affair and were forced to lie to her husband, then both of them would be telling the truth that they firmly believe.

"

"It makes sense, why didn't I think of that!" Miss Rabbit suddenly realized. "This is a really good method. It can not only find out who has lied, but also avoid the bloodshed caused by the duel."

Donya also praised, "There is really nothing in this world that can trouble you, the prophet."

Li Yu shook his head and said, "There are many things that make me embarrassed."

However, neither Doniya nor Ilea took these words seriously. They felt that Li Yu would say this just out of humility.

Especially Ilea, she had just solved a difficult problem, but when she thought of another difficult problem, she couldn't help but frown.
