Although Yuan Jianshuo was injured, he still moved quickly. He stepped forward and pushed Xu Qingshan to the ground.
Seeing this situation, Yang Xiankang also stepped forward to help. He cut the backs of Xu Qingshan's hands and put one knee on his back, making him unable to move at all.
Yuan Jianshuo also nodded to Yang Xiankang, saying that this move was very good.
Yang Xiankang responded with a bared smile.
However, at this time, everyone also looked at Yang Xianrong, wondering why she suddenly gave such an order.
Yang Xianrong was still sitting there, looking at Xu Qingshan carefully.
Cuixi and Lanxiang had closed the door to the dormitory and stood guard at the door. Zhang Liangxue and Lvzhu were the most uneasy. They picked up copper basins and lamps nearby, not knowing what to do.
"Empress, what are you doing?" Xu Qingshan wanted to shout, but Yuan Jianshuo kicked him in the face, causing nosebleeds to flow out.
"I just want to chat." Yang Xianrong looked at Xu Qingshan, "I went to Qingyang County this time and saw something that I wanted to tell you about."
Yang Xianrong's voice was low and gentle, but in this situation, Xu Qingshan trembled all over.
"Slave, listen."
"Yes." Yang Xianrong still looked at his every slight expression, "Did you know, I found a large tomb under construction in Qingyangpo. The specifications are very high, and a lot of money must have been spent. Yes. But, there was a man, what was his name? He said he was Niu Baoyuan's son. He couldn't see that the thief had such a standard cemetery, so he took a bucket of dog blood and poured it on the tombstone. …”
"...Ah, this isn't appropriate." Xu Qingshan raised his head and looked at Yang Xianrong. Yang Xiankang's knees were still pressing against his vest, which was a bit laborious.
"Yes, I told them the same thing. However, they said that the owner of the tomb is called Xu Daming, and he was sentenced to beheading for stealing twenty years ago." Yang Xianrong was still unhurried, "But Ah, this big tomb was paid for by Xiao Ruobai, the magistrate of Qingyang County. Tell me, how strange it is. Later, I asked Xiao Ruobai, why did you build the tomb for someone else? He said, it was his Mother’s friend, he is just trying to fulfill mother’s wish.”
Yang Xiankang became stronger and pushed Xu Qingshan's face to the ground. Therefore, Xu Qingshan could no longer look at the sheep and could only face down, with more and more nosebleeds.
"Actually, I believe what Xiao Ruobai said. But weren't Xiao Ruobai and his mother just executed..." As soon as these words came out, Xu Qingshan's body stopped moving. Stiff there.
Yang Xianrong laughed softly, "In Qingyang County, I learned about a folk custom, that is, if the lower left corner of a tombstone is white, it means that the owner of the tomb has no descendants. This also means that , Xu Daming is a man without an heir, but isn't that strange? They all say that he still has a son, but he left with his mother and there has been no news for twenty years. Master Xu, why don't you move? Is that so? What's wrong? Second brother, why are you so grand? It's just a joke."
Yang Xianrong's voice was charming, but at this moment, even Yuan Jianshuo felt a little cold, and he pursed his lips tightly, waiting for her next instruction.
"Cough cough cough, it hurts a little." Xu Qingshan's nosebleed flowed into his mouth. His hands were caught and couldn't be wiped, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Second brother, let go." Yang Xianrong glanced at Yang Xiankang, who immediately stood up, but was only half a step away from Xu Qingshan.
He said nothing and was extremely serious.
Yuan Jianshuo on the side suddenly felt that when Yang Xiankang had a serious face, his faint aura was actually extremely intimidating.
"Actually, this thing is quite strange. Xiao Ruobai is not Xu Daming's son, but he should know that Xu Daming has a son. Xiao Ruobai has only been in office for a year, and he can be considered a cool official. How could he have the money to build such a building? Where is the big tomb? This is very strange." Yang Xianrong seemed to be muttering to himself, but every word fell into Xu Qingshan's heart. He huddled on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Later, when I found out about Shi Kaizhi, Xu Daming, Huang Yuanshang and Xu Qingya, I was wondering why they made such a plan. They just wanted to kill Wang Chongjian and reduce the number of people in Qingyang County. Tribute, so that the Jin Dynasty can reduce some extravagance? Shi Kaizhi is so righteous? Has a sense of the overall situation? Not necessarily? You said, is it true, Master Xu?" Yang Xianrong's smile became brighter, but Xu Qingshan had already It was sweat and tears that flowed down together.
"If my guess is correct, after Xu Daming's son and his mother left Qingyang County, they came to Luoyang City and entered the palace by chance. I saw the stone that he and his father went to steal mulberry leaves. When Kaizhi became a high official, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Shi Kaizhi's son succeeded in taking the exam and became the magistrate of Qingyang County. When he was thanking his favor in Luoyang, he also met Shi Kaizhi. ." When Yang Xianrong said this, she actually had a piece of silk toilet paper with croton powder in her hand, but her piece had been washed clean by orchid fragrance.
"Xu Daming's son also knew that 'Silk Toilet Paper' had been seriously ill for a long time, but it was by no means something that could be changed easily. So, after thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone. He secretly communicated with Shi Kaizhi and Xiao Ruobai recognized each other, and then regretted Shi Kaizhi's demotion, and then encouraged him to teach Wang Chongjian a lesson. At the same time, he teamed up with his son Xiao Ruobai to make poisonous toilet paper... Anyway If something happened in the end, no one would doubt him. Because, Xu Daming’s tombstone stated that he had no descendants, and no one would have thought that Xu Daming’s son would also be involved... Hey, look, this Things go round and round, but thinking about it makes my head hurt.”
"How did the Queen know that this slave is Xu Daming's son?" Xu Qingshan finally raised his head again.
"Actually, it's simple. People say that local accents are hard to change. Even if you have been away from your hometown for ten or twenty years, you will still have local accents occasionally. Just like when Master Xu was talking at the door just now, he suddenly said: My slave is also a rake of ears and can't hear. Only people from Qingyang County can say this...this ear-raking thing."
"Sure enough, the Queen is smart." Xu Qingshan actually nodded in affirmation, making Yang Xianrong laugh again, "I did guess it, but it's not as big as Master Xu's game of chess."
"The slave is here to die." Xu Qingshan sighed and talked about the past, "Twenty years ago, the slave's mother died of illness shortly after leaving Qingyang County. The slave also ate all the food he had when he came to Luoyang. After suffering a lot, he was castrated and entered the palace. He started as a humble little eunuch and then became the head of procurement... Twenty years is also a history of blood and tears."
