County Magistrate Tang glanced at her and said, "What magnetic iron? This is a magnetic stone, not iron."
Manbao touched the slightly cool chess piece in her hand, nodded, and said, "That's right, it's a magnetite, but I thought it looked like iron, so I just called it magnetic iron."
County Magistrate Tang and County Magistrate Yang both lowered their heads to have a look. Seeing that its color was a bit dark and indeed somewhat resembled iron, they stopped debating.
County Magistrate Tang leaned against the side of the carriage and chuckled, "You sure know quite a bit. This magnetic chessboard was something I came across by chance, and it fooled many people."
