Yuan Jianshuo said that it was extremely accidental when he caught Shi Kaizhi.

They went to the gathering place where the Hu people lived in the west of the city, and the Hu people had a bold personality and often drank and made trouble, so the Hanmin in Luoyang would not go there easily. But because Yang Xianrong said that Shi Kaizhi was very likely to be with this Hu woman, Yuan Jianshuo took people to a house in the west of the city to search.

According to the memories of the forbidden army, Yuan Jianshuo walked around the market in the west of the city with the portrait, and someone really recognized the woman, and said that she had come here the day before yesterday to buy some wine and meat, and it looked like she was going to go far away.

Following this clue, I found the horse market again, and the people there said that the woman had bought two good horses and a carriage and went out from the west gate. At that time, Yuan Jianshuo was afraid that he might cut off the clue and never find this person again.

But the dealer said, "I heard the woman and a man say, 'Do you want to buy her some more gold and silver ornaments?' The man said: It has been customized, and you can go to Hongfa Building to pick it up in three days. ”

It happened that three days later, Yuan Jianshuo took Wu Wei and ran quickly to Hongfa Building, and really caught Shi Kaizhi and the Hu woman.

When interrogating Shi Kaizhi, Sima Lun and Sima Ying sat in the front, and Sun Xiu specially set up a screen for Yang Xianrong to let her sit in the back and listen.

Shi Kaiyi didn't admit it at first, but just said that he went out for a walk. But when Yang Xianrong asked Yuan Jianshuo to bring the Huang family and Xiao Ruobai over, he was stunned, and then laughed out loud and asked: "The people of the Sima family are as stupid as pigs, they only know extravagance, and they can even find out the secret of the 'silk toilet paper', I really underestimate you." ”

Sima Lun and Sima Ying listened to the words, and their faces were not good.

Sima Lun was even more angry and shouted: "What did you do? ”

"Since you have found Xiao Ruobai and his mother, who else have you found?" Shi Kaizhi even asked rhetorically.

"Xu Daming's cemetery." Sima Ying looked at Shi Kaizhi and said very seriously, "However, it has exceeded the specifications and has been bulldozed." ”

There was an obvious vibration in Shi Kaizhi's eyes, and then it dimmed again, and he muttered: "It's okay this way, he won't be comfortable living in a new place." ”

Xiao Ruobai and Huang just looked at him and didn't say a word.

Shi Kaizhi asked Sima Ying, "What is my flaw?" ”

Sima Ying, who asked this sentence, was a little breathless, and knocked on the table, "Why do you need to ask this king, you should explain honestly." ”

"I just want to know where the flaws are." Shi Kaizhi is quite stubborn. Sima Lun had already shouted Yuan Jianshuo on the side, and they were going to punish him.

Yang Xianrong pulled Sun Xiu's sleeve and asked softly, "Grandfather, let me go to the front and say a few words, is it feasible?" ”

Sun Xiu laughed, "Rong'er, you are the queen, naturally you can." ”

"Okay, then you stay with me." Yang Xianrong still pulled Sun Xiu's sleeve tightly, "In case that Shi Kaizhi goes crazy, I'm afraid." ”

"Don't be afraid, grandfather protects you." Sun Xiu's loving appearance makes people feel extremely heartwarming when they see it.

Cui Xi followed behind, following in her steps. When he heard Sun Xiu say this, he couldn't help but lower his head and frown.

"You have a lot of flaws, which one do you want to listen to first?" Yang Xianrong turned out from behind the screen, looking at Shi Kaizhi with an extremely calm face, "No matter how perfect the plan is, there will be times when there are omissions." ”

"Borgon?" Shi Kaizhi asked.

"He's just one of them." Yang Xianrong did not come closer, but stood by Sima Ying's side.

Sima Ying immediately gave up her position to Yang Xianrong.

Yang Xianrong shook his head slightly, just standing in the main hall and looking at Shi Kaizhi, Xiao Ruobai and the Huang family. Huang lowered his head, Xiao Ruobai's eyes had been following Shi Kaizhi, and he was still a little enthusiastic.

"What's that?" Shi Kaizhi just stared at the sheep and offered his face.

"It's the red silk that Wang Chongjian laid on the ground." Yang Xianrong glanced at the Huang family, "It's Shu embroidery." ”

“…… What's the connection? Before Shi Kaizhi could speak, Sima Lun asked, "The red silk was issued to the ministers in the palace before, because it was going to be the New Year, and it was used as a decorative red silk ......."

"This palace has seen the record of Zhang Lianghoe's entry in the palace, and this red silk embroidery is from Qingyang County." Yang Xianrong signaled, and Zhang Lianghoe hurriedly presented the account book, "Two thousand horses of red silk, ten thousand taels of gold." ”

"This is a purchase in the palace, and it has nothing to do with me." Shi Kaizhi was not convinced.

"Don't worry." Yang Xianrong smiled, "Master Zhang, continue to read." ”

"Oh, 10,000 taels of gold, it has not been paid, and it will be allocated again in the spring of the next year."

"You don't understand, do you?" Facing these people in front of him who were still confused, Yang Xianrong had no choice but to smile again, "It's quite complicated, it's all fragmented information." Hongu also thought about it for a long time before stringing these things together. ”

A year ago, Shi Kai wrote to the imperial court, saying that now the palace is spent on luxury, and the struggle for wealth among ministers is becoming more and more intense, and he hopes that the royal family will start from itself and stop some tribute. Sima Lun and Jia Nanfeng were naturally unhappy, so they tore up the folds, and found a reason to demote Shi Kaizhi to the official.

Just like Wang Chongjian said, Shi Kaizhi is just a poor scholar who embarked on a career in office, and slowly climbed to his current position, without a backer all the way, and suffered from no money.

Shi Kai, who lost his official position, went to Qingyang County in a fit of anger and found that he was still busy every day and kept working for the royal tribute. It happened that at this time, there were several big merchants who came to buy, but there were so many female embroiderers and silk in Qingyang County, and most of them were returned to the royal family every year. Seeing that this big deal was lost, Shi Kai's heart was even more indignant.

Later, he thought that only by stopping the tributes without money could the silk fabrics in Qingyang County really become a huge wealth. Therefore, I discussed with Xiao Ruobai, the newly appointed county commander, whether there was any way to let the royal family stop these offerings.

Xiao Ruobai and his mother Huang discussed using croton powder to dye and weave "silk toilet paper", and after several tests, the degree was minimized, which would not hurt life, but would cause extremely bad effects. When this matter is discovered in the palace, it will inevitably stop.

Of course, just like they planned before, they mixed mulberry trees and crotons, and if they were found out, they would say that the "silk toilet paper" was contaminated, and they would be able to escape responsibility.

After that, Shi Kaizhi exchanged a jade soup bowl for his official position, continued to be an official in Luoyang City, and then planned to find an opportunity to pick things again, expand the extravagance and waste of officials, and write to the royal family to stop the tribute in Qingyang County. Everything will come naturally, and then Qingyang County will be truly rich.

It's just that he missed two things, the Hu man Bolgon, who suddenly went crazy, and the discovered Xu Daming's over-specification cemetery. Of course, the most important thing is that he is Xiao Ruobai's father.
