Chapter 194: Remnants of Brocade (2)
The other kidnappers and the like who were brought out of prison to watch were already frightened, and some of them were urinating and their pants were wet. Those who do this line of work are all black-hearted, and they don't care about any retribution at all, you don't see murder and arson, and there are no corpses in repairing bridges and roads. But witnessing his peers being bitten and beaten to death by the people made this death a little unpleasant.
Bai Lin's next question went very smoothly, the serious Zhongren and Ya Po definitely don't want to die so unjustly, he really knows everything and says everything. In order to clear his name, he tried to actively report to adults and expose the abductors who had been active in the local area.
On the other side, Bai Lin's idea received a gratifying response.
He guessed that Li Chun's clothes must have been very delicate when he fell into the hands of the abductors, and these things could not be easily discarded by the abductors, and they were very likely to be sold. Before that, he instructed the people of the Bai family, together with Feng Jinshan, to search for the children's old clothes and ornaments in Songjiang Mansion in Songning, mainly in pawnshops, for twenty-three years. The focus is on two places: Yuenan and Yueping.
Fortunately, the original case file described in detail the clothes of Mrs. Xu and the little son, saying that the little boy was wearing "a plum blossom pattern with a white lining and a big red silk belly guard that day, embroidered with grape squirrels; Then there is a small middle coat of bird-patterned white silk, covered with a three-color gold flowered round-necked shirt, this coat pattern is specially woven and customized by the grandfather of the country in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the tiger head eight treasure group flowers. Because the little boy belongs to the tiger, this horse woven gold brocade has been woven for a year, just in order to weave the tiger's head alive and beautifully, the whole brocade made a smock for the little boy, and the rest was collected in the lady's small warehouse. ”
"The little boy was wearing a pair of dark green pine pattern silk trousers, a pair of white silk socks and then a pair of soft-soled tiger head shoes on his feet, the tiger's eyes were two obsidian, and his beard was twisted with gold thread. Because it is winter, there is also a big red silk Guanyin pocket, the pattern is the wild goose lotus pond, this is still the palace Miao Niangniang to the lady, the internal process, there are records; Ringed sea otter skin strikes. ”
"The little boy has just turned one year old, and his skin is delicate, so the name lock, the longevity lock given by the old marquis and the old lady are not hung on the body, they are all in the carry-on luggage, and some have been found and some have not been found. At that time, the little boy wrapped a wisp of colorful longevity around his left wrist, and a gold circle on his right foot, and there was no bell pendant. ”
"The little boy and his wife have white skin, and there are no birthmark marks on his body."
"The little boy's name is Tiger, and when he was one year old, the old marquis chose his name Xi."

Feng Jinshan was really lucky, he actually found the three-color gold coat. More than 20 years have passed, although it has changed beyond recognition, but the most important part is intact, which is the tiger's head. This family is from a merchant's old clothes pile at a glance to this brilliant embroidered overcoat, the merchant insisted that this dress will cost a tael of silver, although this dress can be seen by the discerning people to cost a lot, but it is too small, where are ordinary people willing to give babies to wear such expensive clothes, so it has not been sold.
This family is a rich family, and the old man of the family likes to play with guns and sticks, so he takes a fancy to the golden tiger head at a glance. He bought and handed over to the skillful weaver to dismantle and modify, like a patch into one of his robes, only to see a golden tiger head on his chest, and two eyes were particularly expressive, as if they were about to jump out of his chest, so not majestic. It's a pity that the tiger's head is slightly smaller, and I think about how big a one-year-old child can be, so the pattern is woven small.
This man has many clothes, but there is only one tiger head, he really likes it, so he sewed the tiger head from this one to that one as his clothes changed from the four seasons. Later, when he also got a grandson, he changed the tiger head to the child's swaddling clothes, asking for a good intention to bless the child with good health.
As a result, his grandson ate a lot and slept soundly, and his length was as long as his breath, which was a lap older than children of the same age, which was a moment of pride as a grandfather. When the grandson grew older, the neighbors had already seen the swaddling beauty, and his child was growing strong, and believed that it was the tiger that blessed him, so he paid a lot of money to buy the swaddling clothes.
After changing hands several times, Feng Jinshan saw this swaddling baby in a village in Yuenan County, and it was a coincidence that he bought it back with one or two silver. Where do the Zhuang people know how to maintain, the pattern is worn out and dull early, but those who have the eye can still recognize it as weaving gold brocade. Among the relics left by Mrs. Xianhou is also the part of this woven gold brocade, which is not difficult to match.
It seems that Feng Jinshan has made a good start, and the next things he found are endless, and he found a gold circle in a pawnshop, the circle used by the child is small, but it is full of red gold, probably afraid that the child has no carved pattern, only a tiger head is engraved at the end, and the carving is extremely fine. Although there is no other name mark in this circle, the things of the Hou Mansion, especially the master, have a roster, and they can be checked at that time.
Feng Jinshan is simply miraculous, he also found the pair of tiger head shoes in a small bookstore in Yueping County, a pair of quite intact, but the obsidian of the tiger's eyes is gone, replaced with two small wooden beads dyed black, and the beard of the gold thread is also gone, but in general it is almost intact.
In the face of Bai Xiaoshiye's undisguised praise and amazement, Feng Jinshan modestly said that since these things are valuable and cannot be said to be of origin, the abductors must be in a hurry to make a move, and they will not carefully select buyers who know the goods, and it is most likely to sell them to pawnshops and collect old clothes. And these clothes are all children's, although exquisite, but in the end they are not as good as adults, what can be used is limited, it is estimated that the pawnshop should not accept it, and it is more likely to sell it to the estimator. And the big families will not buy old clothes, especially for the male grandchildren in the family, the conditions must be to make new clothes, and the poor people are reluctant to spend on children, it should be those small and medium-sized families, some knowledge but not rich financial resources to buy as a leak, and even heirlooms are possible.
Therefore, he gave up the pawnshop at the beginning, and went to these small doors to inquire and inspect, and sure enough, he inquired that the bookstore had two ancestral tiger head shoes, which were said to flow out of the palace, but they were extremely precious. Feng Jinshan is not taking money now, but coaxing and intimidating, this kind of unruly petty official is the most timid, saying that his family bought stolen goods, and now the investigation needs to be recovered.
Seeing that the people who came to break their own things are not ancestral treasures but bought, which is enough to scare people out of their bitter guts, where do they dare to ask for money, and they are busy offering it with both hands. He also poured a purse to Feng Jinshan and begged him to hide it, but when he opened it, he saw that there were a few taels of silver.
Even the sole of the tiger head shoes is carefully embroidered with a ruyi lotus pattern, and the silk thread as thin as a hair on the upper is embroidered with three layers of patterns, dogwood pattern, longevity pattern, and delphinium pattern. The upper of the shoe is embroidered with five poisons and five bats mixed with it. The shoes of such a one-year-old child are no bigger than a palm, but they are so painstaking and laborious, no wonder that the small family is regarded as a family heirloom.
Looking at these three old things, the appearance of the eldest son of Hou Fuyan, who was sentenced to death in the case file and died in the hearts of the world, became clear. A beautiful little boy who is white and chubby, strong and imposing, is already like a spirited little tiger, he is the pearl in people's palms, the flesh of the heart, and is much loved.
Bai Lin carefully put away these three things. In addition, the testimony of writing down the details of the matter and signing it by everyone asked someone to quickly bring it back to Nanquan and hand it over to Lu Xiyue. Yan Xi, Wang Laifu, Li Chun, it has been proved between them that two of them are the same, to prove that the three are all one person but lack something more powerful, a few clothes are far from enough. In particular, Yan Hou is very fond of the current Mrs. Hou, and he probably won't easily believe the appearance of an eldest son who will shake his wife's status.
Bai Lin played with a silver chrysanthemum fan, bored and whimsical, in fact, this unprincipled and bottom-line pampered woman is the best proof of the father and son, in this regard, Li Chun is the son of Yanhou.
