Chapter 10 Ebony Hairpin
"From the root to the nine springs, there is no song, only Zhelong knows it in the world"

The new exhibit is a stone platform, engraved with two lines of poems written by dragons and snakes, and a pair of iron shackles are placed on the signature.

Shi Ying knows these two poems, the full text is: Awe-inspiring relatives dare to bully each other, it is not surprising to go straight to the sky.From the root to the nine springs, there is no song, only Zhelong knows it in the world.

It is a poem written by Su Shi when he first became an official, expressing his integrity.But it was misinterpreted by people with a heart, thinking that Su Shi had a heart of disobedience to the emperor, and the reason was that there were real dragons in the world, but Su Shi wanted his character to be known to the underground Zhelong, "Why not be a minister?"

The emperor agreed with the accusation of the caring person and put Su Shi in Yushitai Prison.

It is known as the "Wutai Poetry Case" in history.

In fact, the cause, dynasty, and outcome of the Wutai poetry case have nothing to do with this poem. This poem is just a misinterpretation and attached explanation by the censors at that time to accuse Su Shi.

Song Shenzong was not stupid enough to convict Su Shi directly because of a poem, but because the reformists at that time needed a target, and Su Shi was the most suitable, and in the end Su Shi was exempted from the death penalty and relegated to Huangzhou.In the last poem of Su Shi's life, he wrote: Ask Ru's achievements in his life, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou.Huangzhou, where he was demoted, was the Waterloo of his fate.

Does the poem and shackles appearing here mean that this son-in-law, like Su Shi, was reported and imprisoned by villains because of his words.Combined with the previous exhibits, I don’t know what he did and what he wrote, whether he also became a thorn in the side of some people, became a target for some people to deal with political opponents, and finally his right hand was cut off.

Shi Ying thought of the right hand that was cut off neatly, and now it seems that she has basically connected the story of the owner of the hand.

When he was young, he studied in the academy, and when he was successful in his studies, he was caught by the royal list and made his son-in-law Princess Shang, and then he was framed by the Literary Inquisition during the official strife. He is the right hand of writing and ink all his life.

Without the hairpin and the parting, does the hairpin mean that he was poor when he was young, and the parting means that he values ​​friendship?Or both of them show his great affection?Shi Ying shook his head and denied this idea. Changzhi was obviously killed, and the cause of death was most likely the letter written to him by his son-in-law.

But because most of the content was contaminated by blood, Shi Ying had no way of knowing the exact content of the parting letter, so he couldn't infer the cause of Changzhi's death, and the information chain was missing a link here.

Shi Ying walked to the next booth, but found no exhibits.Looking ahead, the shadowy silhouette of the booth that had been there before disappeared, and it seemed that this was the last exhibit.

Shi Ying was wondering where the exhibits had gone, when he saw a suspended air screen light up above the booth, like a holographic projection, but Shi Ying did not find any projection equipment.

In the picture, a young man dressed as a scholar is standing in front of the table and facing the mirror to adjust his clothes. A male voice sounds from far and near: "Changzhi, lend me a hairpin."

Shi Ying let out an oh, so this is Chang Zhi, who is very good-looking.

Hearing the words, Changzhi turned around and looked at the person who came: "Brother Qingyuan, what's wrong?"

Shi Ying: Very good, the protagonist has appeared.

Qingyuan also looks like a handsome young man with disheveled hair, he said helplessly: "I happened to come across a clever sentence when I was curling up my hair, and I broke the hairpin with a shake of my hand."

Changzhi turned around with a smile, took out a jade hairpin from the drawer, and handed it to Qingyuan: "Brother Qingyuan, keep your hair a little looser, I don't have too many hairpins for you to catch a good sentence by chance."

Qingyuan blushed slightly, shook his head and pushed the jade hairpin back: "Chang Zhi just give me a wooden hairpin, the jade hairpin is precious, I'm afraid I'll bump it."

Changzhi didn't insist, and turned around to change a wooden hairpin. It was the usual appearance of the second exhibit. The picture was a close-up of the two handed hands, and then slowly faded until it disappeared.

Shi Ying was lost in thought.What's so good about the friendship between classmates? Among her male classmates in college, not to mention borrowing clothes for shoes, eating the same meal and drinking the same bottle of water, and even calling each other's father. Although his friendship is confusing, it seems to be very common.

What if it's not friendship?It seems that the ancients' broken sleeves are not uncommon.Suppose this Qingyuan likes his classmate named Changzhi, so he always keeps the hairpin he gave him back then.

Then when they learned that Changzhi was leaving the capital and the two would never see each other again, they wrote a parting letter and sent it to someone.

But there is no wall that does not leak. The princess learned that the son-in-law actually liked a man, and felt that her dignity had been challenged, so she sent someone to assassinate Changzhi on the way away.

It felt surprisingly smooth, and Shi Ying gave a thumbs up to his brain.

But there is still a little problem, the two sets of wedding dresses for the big wedding, one is the princess's son-in-law, and the other is Chang Zhi's, is Chang Zhi a general?

Changzhi used to study with Qingyuan, but later he went north with the general. Did he abandon literature and pursue martial arts? Looking at the video, Changzhi’s small body doesn’t look like he can wear the groom’s dress, but he wears women’s clothing good.

Wait, women's clothing, what if Changzhi is Zhu Yingtai?

The suspicion of Qingyuan's broken sleeves was removed, the existence of the wedding dress made sense, and Changzhi died smoothly.

The whole thing is very clear now, and the message that the exhibition hall wants to express is almost clear, but there is still one thing missing, the purpose of the exhibition hall.

Shi Ying murmured: What do you want me to do by letting me know such a story?

Shi Ying couldn't see the next booth, and there was no next booth, so she didn't move forward.

A larger and more realistic projection appeared in the air. It was Qingyuan in filial piety. The ratio of the projected person to the reality was almost one to one. For a moment, Shi Ying felt that Qingyuan was actually standing not far in front of her.

Qingyuan's back swung the knife with his left hand, and chopped at his right hand.

A severed hand flew up, a gust of blood spurted out, and a muffled groan sounded.

A cloud of light and mist dissipated.

The scene was so real that Shi Ying had a moment of cardiac arrest, and when she realized that it was a false projection, the scene had already dissipated quickly.

A line of words appeared in the void in front of him: When Qingyuan chopped off his right hand, was he regretting that he had written that farewell letter that killed Changzhi, or was he regretting that he had been in power and suffered literary indictment and implicated the princess?
Shi Ying was silent, why did this sentence sound so familiar.

The light characters spread out, revealing two passages, one on the left and one on the right. At the entrance of the left passage is the gold inlaid white jade ring, and on the right is the plain ebony hairpin.

The two passages seem to be the same, but based on her experience in reading novels and her bad intuition, Shi Ying believes that the result of going wrong is something she cannot and does not want to bear.
