Xu Qi 'an knew that his plan had already succeeded halfway. He knew that he had to be honest first, and at the same time, he had to try his best to make his tone neither servile nor overbearing. This way, he could increase his persuasiveness.
The night watchman stopped Xu Qi 'an and escorted him into the night watchman's yamen. Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan interrogated Xu Qi' an.
In front of Magistrate Chen, Xu Qi 'an first showed a very humble attitude. Then, he tried his best to make his tone neither servile nor overbearing during the reasoning process of the case. He appeared very calm, thus increasing the persuasiveness of his words.
When Xu Qi 'an was being interrogated by Zhou Li, the Cloud Road Academy and the Directorate of Celestials came to ask for him, but Xu Qi' an acted tough and slapped his face.
Xu Qi 'an had used the extraction of metallic Na to explain the phenomenon of the silver tax explosion and help solve the case. He first used water to melt the coarse salt. After stirring it, he covered the cup with the raw salt and slowly poured the salt water into it. After filtering it, he placed the porcelain cup on the candle to roast it. He stirred it with a bamboo stick and evaporated the salt water to obtain the salt crystals. Then, he had the girl in the yellow dress melt the crystals with a magic tool, and then use a lightning technique to act on the iron wire inserted into the cup to carry out a chemical reaction to obtain the metallic Na. He threw the metal into the water to demonstrate the explosion effect, explaining the reason for the tax silver explosion. He also pointed out that the tax silver might have been swapped, providing a new idea for the case.
There was no special personal relationship between the magistrate and Xu Qi 'an. The magistrate had some interactions with Xu Qi 'an mainly on matters related to the case. After Xu Qi 'an solved the case, he confronted the magistrate, Chu Caiwei, and Yang Yan to explain the case. During this process, the magistrate was more of an official figure related to the case. He had a relationship with Xu Qi' an that was related to the case. There was no special relationship or other special connection.
At first, Magistrate Chen's attitude towards Xu Qi 'an was rather ordinary. Xu Qi' an suggested that if he helped the lord solve the case, he hoped to write a letter to the Sage to absolve the Xu family of their crimes. Magistrate Chen nodded and agreed. As Xu Qi 'an began to settle the case, Magistrate Chen watched from the side. As Xu Qi 'an gradually demonstrated his reasoning and operation of the case, Magistrate Chen's attitude changed significantly. When he saw the metal Na prepared by Xu Qi' an, he was extremely shocked. Finally, the case progressed. When Magistrate Chen rushed out of the inner hall, Xu Qi 'an told him not to forget his promise. In general, their relationship had gone from being distant to a relationship that was linked to promises as the case progressed.
When Xu Qi 'an was being interrogated by the Ministry of Justice, he first asked Arrester Wang to invite Cai Wei. Then, when the Cloud Road Academy and the Directorate of Celestials came to ask for her, he started to act pretentiously and slap his face. He was not successfully interrogated.
