When Yang Xianrong said that Shi Kaizhi was Xiao Ruobai's father, Huang raised his head and looked at Yang Xianrong in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly.
"Well, I guessed this, because if there is no relationship between you, this puzzle will definitely be unsolvable. Maybe I guessed wrong, but I can only let you say it yourself." Sheep. Xianrong was also a little unsure, so he looked at Sima Lun and said, "Your Majesty, that's about it. Come on, I can give him a beating or anything."
Hearing this, Sima Lun actually laughed out loud, "Rong'er, how can I hit you casually? You can't mess around."
"Yes, you are here. I just made a guess. You are here to interrogate such a big matter." Yang Xianrong flattened his mouth, like a very cute and naughty little granddaughter.
Cuixi stood aside, lowered her head again, the corners of her mouth were twitching, her girl was really getting better and better at pretending.
Of course, with Sima Lun's roar, Shi Kaizhi told the final truth.
Twenty-five years ago, Shi Kaizhi was a young man from a poor family. Hearing that he could earn some money by working as a silk reeler in Qingyang County, he came over to work as a helper in the family of a wealthy family named Xiao, and thus got acquainted with the people who worked together. of Xu Daming, Huang Yuanshang and Xu Qingya. These four people are similar in age, and they are all in their youthful and passionate years. Naturally, they also love each other, and even vowed not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month.
On this day, the annual tribute is about to expire, but the silkworms do not spin silk. If the tribute cannot be paid in time, it is very likely that the person will be beheaded. Wang Chongjian, who came here temporarily to serve as county magistrate, was also very young. He only wanted to eat, drink and have fun. After three years, he could return to Luoyang and be promoted to an official position under the protection of his family.
He saw the villagers twisting Xu Daming over and saying that he had killed someone. Without thinking, he stamped his seal and beheaded the person. However, he did not expect that there was another person stealing in the mulberry garden, Shi Kaizhi.
At that time, Shi Kaizhi originally wanted to take Huang Yuanshang, who was already pregnant, home to get married after the wedding. But he didn't expect that something like this would happen. He escaped in the dark night and never came back.
Xu Qingya was married to Xu Daming and had a son. Seeing this situation, the whole person collapsed. Huang Yuanchang didn't know what to do and just kept crying.
Fortunately, the Xiao family came forward to explain the situation and compensated the Niu Baoyuan family who was killed by Xu Daming a lot of money, and the matter was settled. The Xiao family also knew about Huang Yuanshang and Shi Kaizhi, but unfortunately Shi Kaizhi had already escaped, and she suffered a lot of criticism for her big belly.
Therefore, the male protagonist of the Xiao family took Huang Yuanshang as his concubine and was willing to recognize her children as members of the Xiao family. Huang Yuanshang was very grateful and was willing to continue working in the Xiao family. It wasn't until the male protagonist of the Xiao family died of illness that she took her children out to live alone and opened an embroidery workshop to make ends meet.
As for Shi Kaizhi, after he escaped back home, he studied for half a year and went to Luoyang to take the exam. He passed the exam all the way and became an official. But his background was really humble, and he did not do well in the officialdom, and he was depressed and frustrated.
Seeing that the Jin dynasty enjoyed extravagance, they became even more dissatisfied, so they kept writing letters, hoping that the Jin Dynasty would make changes. At least, the tributes such as silk and silk from Qingyang County could be stopped first... But after a lot of trouble, he was demoted.
Twenty years later, when I returned to Qingyang County again, things had changed. He recognized Huang Yuanshang and met his son Xiao Ruobai. Thinking of Xu Daming who died that year and his missing wife and children, I felt sad in my heart.
He and Xiao Ruobai stated the extravagant fight for wealth in Luoyang City, and Xiao Zhi was moved by reason and emotion, hoping that his son could change this situation with him.
Xiao Ruobai knew that he had another father since he was a child, but he did not expect that this man turned out to be a high-ranking official in the Jin Dynasty. Although he was demoted, he still had ideals and ambitions. He hoped to change the face of the country on his own, but he immediately agreed. On Shi Kaizhi's suggestion, he and Huang Yuanshang made "silk toilet paper" contaminated with croton powder.
The Hu man Borgon was a child picked up by the Hu woman on the road. Shi Kaizhi bought the woman as a maid while drinking and asked her to bring the child back. Borgon suffered a brain injury when he was a child. He is usually quiet and very strong. But if stimulated he will go crazy.
Shi Kaizhi will take him with him or let him be his bodyguard. After all, at his level, there are no military guards to accompany him.
He knew very early that it was Wang Chongjian who ordered Xu Daming to be killed, and he also wanted to avenge his friend. When he saw Wang Chongjian spreading red silk from Qingyang County on the dirty snow, he couldn't control his emotions and quarreled with him directly.
I originally thought that Borgon was just too strong to injure someone, so he could just pay some of the medical expenses. Who knew he would go crazy, beat several people to death, and even hurt the emperor. Even if Borgon is dead, he can't escape his involvement.
In addition, he heard that Yang Xianrong and Sima Ying secretly went to Qingyang County to search for silk toilet paper. He was afraid that if this matter was found out about him, he would be dead. Therefore, before Yang Xianrong and the others came back, they persuaded Sima Lun and gave him another box of gold. Only then were they able to get out of the Forbidden Army prison and asked Hu Nu to prepare horses and vehicles. He planned to run away.
All the things before and after are strung together, and it can finally be explained.
However, Sima Lun's face became a little confused. Because he not only accepted Shi Kaizhi's emerald soup bowl, but also a box of gold. Although everyone would not say anything about such a blatant bribe, they would still sneer at him.
"The matter is so clear, let's kill him." Sima Lun looked at Shi Kaizhi's signed confession and was not polite at all.
Xiao Ruobai and Huang Yuanshang knelt aside and didn't say much. They just looked at Shi Kaizhi with tears streaming down their faces.
Sima Ying hesitated for a moment and asked Sima Lun quietly, "Uncle Emperor, maybe this matter can be slowed down a little bit?"
"Why?" Sima Lun rolled his eyes, "This man has bad character. He plotted against the imperial officials and poisoned the royal family. He should be torn apart!"
"The royal family has been extravagant in official circles for a long time. If someone says that Shi Kaizhi did this just to change the court policy by himself, and instead of being a sinner, he will become a hero, then everyone will be able to stop him." Sima Ying whispered, "You should stop thinking about it."
"...It makes sense." Sima Lun calmed down after hearing this, "Then take him into custody first, and I'll think about it later."
"Xiao Ruobai and Huang will also be locked up first, and we will discuss it later." Sima Ying added.
"Okay." Sima Lun nodded. He turned to look at Yang Xianrong, "How did Rong'er guess the relationship between Xiao Ruobai and Shi Kaizhi?"
"...They look quite similar." Yang Xianrong's reason made even Shi Kaizhi, who was kneeling below, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then looked at Xiao Ruobai.
