Chapter 189 The Wonders of Natural Science
After Chen Susu said this, everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, the Shen family has produced four presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, one of whom was Mrs. Shen. Now, Shen Ruoyan has taken over the baton from her mother and become the new president of the Chamber of Commerce, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
After two consecutive failures, Fang Zhi was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Tang Yin and left with his sister.
Looking at Fang Zhi's dejected back, Tang Yin glanced at Liu Song and said, "President Liu, what do you think of the Huazhou Chamber of Commerce?"
Life is so dramatic. Shen Ruoyan, who was suppressed half an hour ago, suddenly became the president of Huayang Chamber of Commerce on equal footing with himself. Liu Song's depressed mood can be imagined.
"First of all, I congratulate Miss Shen on becoming the president of Huayang Chamber of Commerce!" Liu Song cupped his hands in a hypocritical manner, with a fake smile on his face. "On behalf of Huazhou Chamber of Commerce, I hereby declare that I will definitely support Miss Shen's work in the future!"
"That's good!" Tang Yin stopped looking at Liu Song and glanced at the others. He said loudly, "I've been in Huazhou for a few days. Recently, I heard that an organization called the Red Fairy Dharma Association is making a lot of trouble in Huazhou. Some charlatans even did something like breaking the ground of a statue of a god to deceive the people. They are secretly destroying the foundation of our Northern Tang Kingdom. It's really hateful!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Today was the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the two provinces. Why did Lord Tang bring up the matter of the Red Immortal Assembly?
Tang Yin snorted coldly and said, "To be honest with you, just yesterday, I personally visited the so-called Red Immortal Ceremony and cracked the deceptive trick! After interrogation, it was found that the criminals in the Red Immortal Ceremony were all remnants of the Red Immortal Cult. Their purpose was to lure the people into joining the Red Immortal Cult. Their crime is simply unforgivable!"
Hearing the three words "Red Immortal Sect", everyone present was shocked. For these businessmen, the Red Immortal Sect was undoubtedly synonymous with disaster. Not to mention the distant past, the Huayang Shen family had been robbed by the Red Immortal Sect gangsters, and Miss Shen had been taken hostage! Therefore, these businessmen were both afraid of and hated the Red Immortal Sect.
"The reason why I came a little late today is to behead these villains of the Red Immortal Sect and set an example for others!" Tang Yin's eyes were like torches, and he scanned the people present. There was a strong smell of blood in his words, and everyone was so frightened that they lowered their heads and dared not make eye contact with him.
"During the interrogation last night, one of the criminals confessed that there were many followers of the Red Immortal Sect in the Huazhou Chamber of Commerce, and they secretly provided a lot of money to the Red Immortal Sect. President Liu, do you have anything to say about this?"
Liu Song was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop. His face turned pale. He kowtowed and said miserably, "Master Tang, I don't know!"
Tang Yin sneered, stared at Liu Song and said, "I got the list of believers confessed by the Red Immortal Cult gangster last night, and I was planning to take advantage of this opportunity today to catch all of them in one fell swoop!"
The merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the hall were all terrified. They had long heard about the ruthless methods of Lord Tang. Not to mention the merchants, there were even several court ministers who died at his hands!
At first, Jiang Chengfeng was a little puzzled about what Old Man Tang wanted to do, but after hearing what he said, he immediately understood. I think this old man has long known that the Fang family is colluding with the Red Immortal Cult, so he took this opportunity today to suppress the Fang family. This is called killing two birds with one stone. I thought this old man really appreciated me, but he used me as a gun!
Tang Yin naturally took in the expressions of the people present, with a faint smile on his face, "In fact, there is no need to panic! As the saying goes, no one is perfect. It is possible that you were just not careful for a moment and were deceived by the villains of the Red Immortal Sect. I promise here that no matter how much you have been involved with the Red Immortal Sect in the past, as long as you take the initiative to tell me the truth before tomorrow, and donate double the money you donated to the Red Immortal Sect to the national treasury, I will deliberately guarantee your lives and property, and I can also keep it secret!"
Jiang Chengfeng sneered. This old man Tang really played a good hand! With this combination of coaxing and deceiving, plus the power he had accumulated over the years, wouldn't it be easy to intimidate these small businessmen?
However, he would not believe the list that Old Man Tang mentioned. How could he know the list of believers in the Huazhou Chamber of Commerce based on the few small fish he caught yesterday? This is a top secret!
"Everyone, remember, there is only one day. Before noon tomorrow, I will be waiting for you at the Huazhou government office!" Tang Yin's smile suddenly turned cold , and he said sinisterly: "If anyone is hoping for the best, then disaster will come and it will be too late to regret!"
The annual meeting ended successfully at this point, and the businessmen dispersed one after another. However, Tang Yin stopped Jiang Chengfeng and asked him about the secret of making money from the frying pan .
The previous decisiveness disappeared, and at this moment Tang Yin turned into an old student with a strong desire for knowledge, while Shen Ruoyan also blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Chengfeng.
Jiang Chengfeng shrugged helplessly and said, "Actually, this matter is worthless! But first, you have to help me keep it a secret, because I may need to use this little trick someday!"
Tang Yin had a vague guess and speculated, "Could it be that there is some trick involved? What is the trick?"
"The reason is that I asked someone to put a little aged vinegar into the oil pan in advance!" Jiang Chengfeng said.
"Aged vinegar?" Shen Ruoyan chewed carefully, and then her eyes lit up, "I remember now! I also smelled a faint scent of vinegar before, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I didn't expect it was you who was behind it!"
Tang Yin hurriedly urged: "Brother Jiang, please continue!"
"Because the density of aged vinegar is greater than that of vegetable oil, after the two are mixed, the vegetable oil floats on the surface, while the aged vinegar sinks to the bottom. That's why Lord Tang scooped up a spoonful of vegetable oil just now, but didn't get any aged vinegar!"
Tang Yin said "oh" and suddenly realized it. He asked again: "Then what?"
"The specific heat capacity of vinegar - oh, that means that aged vinegar boils more easily, so soon after the oil pan was lit, the aged vinegar below boiled first, so everyone saw bubbles in the oil pan, but that was just the result of the aged vinegar being heated, and it did not mean that the vegetable oil was boiling! Therefore, I urged the young lady to quickly get the copper coins!"
"Why was I fine after picking up the copper coins, but Fang Zhi was injured?" Shen Ruoyan asked.
"This is a matter of time! I urged you before because I wanted you to finish the competition before the aged vinegar completely vaporized. If you wait until the aged vinegar below is completely vaporized, only vegetable oil will be left. It would be strange if you don't get burned!" Jiang Chengfeng said.
