The so-called "sound is thunder, light is electricity", "yin and yang fighting each other is thunder, and excitation is electricity", "electricity, yin and yang are exciting." These are the ancient Chinese's understanding of electricity.

The word "electricity" in oracle bone inscriptions is like a mysterious and frightening lightning that splits in all directions.

Li Wangyou pretended to be a ghost and played tricks for a long time, and what he showed was actually the hand-cranked generator he built to charge mobile phones.

Niu Wu shook the handle of the generator to generate electric current, and when the positive and negative poles came into contact, sparks would naturally be produced.Of course, those who have studied junior high school physics in later generations know that this is just the luminous phenomenon caused by the electric charge breaking down the air and making the air conductive.

But this scene, in the eyes of Li Er and the officials, is a different feeling.Li Wangyou really made lightning in front of them, which is really unbelievable.

A hand-cranked generator, a simple discharge phenomenon, stimulated Tang people no less than later generations who suddenly landed UFO on the road and walked out of aliens.

Hou Junji opened his mouth even more in surprise, unable to believe it: "Demon, demon law! This is demon law!"

But Fang Xuanling immediately refuted: "Thunder and lightning are righteousness, how can it be a demon law? Don't speak nonsense, Duke Lu!"

"That's right, there is a saying in "Chu Songs": Master Yu on the left will serve you, and Lord Lei on the right will serve as his guard. How can this thunder and lightning be a demon?" Du Ruhui also nodded.

Since ancient times, China has believed that thunder and lightning are in charge of thunder and lightning, and thunder and lightning have the meaning of punishing evil and promoting good. Lei Gong can distinguish between good and evil in the world, enforce the law on behalf of the sky, kill evil people, and uphold justice.

After seeing the copper sheet of the hand-operated dynamo emitting electric flames, everyone present believed that this thing could tell good from evil and detect lies.

This scene naturally landed in the eyes of those farmers and the "injured", and each had different reactions.

The farmers kowtowed to the wooden box one after another, their brows and eyes were full of joy, thinking that they and others would be able to get their grievances cleared.

But the faces of those injured became uglier than the last, and some old women were even so frightened that they burst into tears.

"Uncle, gentlemen, why don't you give this baby a try? See if it can distinguish between good and evil, so that people can be innocent?" Li Wangyou pointed at the hand-cranked generator, and looked at Li Er and the officials.

"Yes!" Li Er nodded, he is also extremely curious now: "How does this thing distinguish between good and evil? How does it detect lies?"

"It's very simple, just hold the two pieces of copper with both hands, shake the handle, and liars will naturally be shocked."

Li Er nodded: "Okay, then let them try to see if this thunder and lightning can distinguish between good and evil."

Li Wangyou said: "My nephew asked these farmers to confront these injured people one by one, so that you can know the truth, the good and the evil, once you test it."

Hearing this, Liu Shiyi immediately stood up from the ground, and bowed to Li Wangyou: "Uncle Huxian, I am willing to come first and confront that old woman!"

"Okay, then you will start. Hold these two copper pieces and tell what happened that day. Don't lie, or you will be punished by lightning!" Li Wangyou said, and stuffed the two copper pieces into Liu Shi. Yi's hand, and then signaled Niu Wu to start shaking the handle.

Li Er and Baiguan didn't even blink, they just stared at Liu Shiyi.

Seeing nothing happened to Liu Shishi, he held the copper piece in his hand and told what happened yesterday.

"Look, uncle, the thunderbolt didn't punish the farmer, which means that what he said was true and he didn't lie." Li Wangyou said with a smile.

But Hou Junji suddenly stood up: "Wait, let someone shake this handle? Is it possible?"

Naturally, he didn't believe in any artifacts, and felt that Li Wangyou must have tampered with them, so he asked himself to shake the handle on the wooden box himself.

Of course Li Wangyou didn't object, he signaled Niu Wu to get out of the way, and handed over the handle to Hou Junji.

"Lu Guogong, my baby is very easy to operate. After they start talking, just shake the handle, and this baby artifact can tell whether the person is lying or not."

Hou Junji nodded expressionlessly, and carefully looked at the wooden box again, making sure that there was no mechanism, so he reached out to take the handle.

Still not at ease, he asked Liu Shiyi to hold the copper piece again, repeat what he had just said, and shake the handle at the same time.Seeing that there was still no response, he stopped embarrassingly.

Li Wangyou signaled Liu Shiyi to step aside, and motioned the old woman he knocked over to step forward.

The old woman's head was wrapped with thick gauze, and she looked very miserable.

But at this time, there was already a bit of timidity, trembling in both hands.But in front of the two Ming government officials and other officials in the county government hall, she didn't dare to say anything, so she took the two copper pieces tremblingly and held them carefully in her hands.

"The old man went out yesterday, and was knocked down by the carriage just after he left the workshop...ah!" The old woman just started to speak, but suddenly, as if she had been greatly stimulated, she howled and threw away the copper piece in her hand.

Her violent reaction stunned Hou Junji, who was still shaking the handle...

562 Got cheated again?

Hou Junji glared at the old woman angrily: "You old woman, what's your ghost's name?"

"It hurts, it hurts, this thing is biting my hand..." The old woman panicked even more, her face was ugly.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and hold on to that copper piece!" Hou Junji naturally didn't believe her words, and yelled at the old woman.

The old woman cried and mourned, and had no choice but to hold the two copper pieces with trembling hands again.Hou Junji shook the handle, without any surprise, the old woman screamed again, and quickly threw away the two copper pieces in her hand.

Li Wangyou and a group of dandies couldn't stop laughing, Niu Wu even grinned, he had been tricked by his own lord in the past.

When Li Wangyou was just working on the hand generator, he wasn't sure if it was successful, so he once fooled Niu Wu and asked him to touch the two copper wires, but Niu Wu was really hurt.

Niu Wu knew early on that this wooden box was even miraculous, and that "electricity" could be generated by shaking the handle. Although he didn't know what the use of this "electricity" was, he knew that electricity was intangible.

Li Wangyou even suppressed a smile in his heart. It would be strange if the old woman didn't scream. Unless she mutated into a superhero like "Storm Girl", anyone who was shocked would have to scream.

Li Wangyou couldn't figure out how many volts the hand generator he fiddled with could generate.In short, the electric shock does not kill people, but it also feels uncomfortable, which is no better than being electrocuted.

Anyway, ever since Li Wangyou saw Niu Wu being electrocuted, he never planned to try it himself.

But yesterday he asked Niu Wu to go back to Dingzhou Village, and it was this hand generator that he asked the beautiful boss to come.In order to keep the secret of the generator, Li Wangyou asked Carpenter Liu to build him a sealed wooden box and seal the generator in it.

Dandy didn't know what Niu Wu had brought back, so he was fooled by Li Wangyou again, so they all ran to touch the electrified copper pieces, and naturally they were screamed by the shock. I also have personal experience of the "power" of shaking the generator.

At this time, seeing the old woman was terribly electrocuted, and was forced by Hou Junji to touch the wires again, it naturally made the dude's face contort due to suppressed laughter.

As for Liu Shiyi not being electrocuted just now while holding the copper piece in his hand, it is of course Li Wangyou cheating with the dudes.

The dandies had already sent a lot of beeswax to the prisons in Wannian County, Chang'an, and asked the farmers to apply a thick layer of beeswax on the palms of their hands.

Beeswax does not conduct electricity, forming a translucent protective layer in farmers' palms.

So Liu Shiyi held the copper piece in his hand, but he didn't feel anything.

Any junior high school student in later generations would laugh his ass off when he saw this kind of trick, but in the eyes of Tang people, this is what Li Wangyou said, the magic weapon to distinguish good from evil and detect lies.

The old woman would be "bitten" by the electric light from the copper piece, naturally because she lied.

Faced with such a situation, the old woman really didn't know how to tell the difference, so she knelt down on the ground and began to cry loudly.

Cui Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to signal the government servant to move the crying old woman aside, and signaled another farmer from Hu County to come forward.

The farmer, like Liu Shiyi before, didn't panic at all, holding the copper plate tightly with both hands, and recounted what happened yesterday.Hou Junji kept shaking the handle, but it was useless.

After the farmer finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and stepped aside.And the injured person he "hit" with his car was carried over with a mournful face.

The injured man's calf was crushed by the wheel and broke directly. Now he can only lie on the door panel and was carried to the "magic weapon" by the yamen servant.
