Chapter 629 clues to the life and death of Emperor Jianwen(1/2)

More than two hours later, the car parked at a parking lot near an old street on the outskirts of the county town. There were quite a lot of people visiting here, and tourist buses came down one after another. Many suspected relics of Emperor Jianwen were discovered here.

Many tourist routes related to the culture of Emperor Jianwen were successively developed.

"Mr. Li, the place my aunt mentioned is at the entrance of an alley ahead. Let's go and look for him first to see if he is still there."

Sun Chengan looked around and pointed in one direction, following the flow of people.

"Let's go there." Li Mo put his hands in his pockets and walked forward slowly like a normal tourist.

The brown bear followed him and said as he walked: "Boss, it's really lively here. The air is filled with the smell of fried food."

"It also smells like stinky tofu." Sun Chengan continued jokingly.

"In Yanjiao, Kyoto, the snack street business is the best. We have not only created multiple tourist routes for the museum, but also included the food street in the itinerary. The snacks include local specialties from all over the world, and many tourists will visit them after they return.

Sharing food tourism experiences online. This is a kind of regional cultural export. Whenever everyone wants to travel in the future, the first thought in their mind is to go to Yanjiao. The situation here is similar to that in Yanjiao, and they both focus on creating a culture."

The three of them were chatting while walking. When they reached an alley, Sun Chengan suddenly whispered: "Mr. Li, do you think the man sitting in the corner over there is the uncle we are looking for?"

"We'll find out after we go over and take a look."

The three of them walked slowly in that direction. There was a large flow of people at the entrance of the alley, and the alley was not spacious, so there was only an old man in his seventies sitting in the corner. He was wearing a dark gray cotton-padded jacket.

Two big patches, wearing thin cloth shoes on his feet, and a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes of life, looking at the tourists coming and going.

There was a thick piece of cotton cloth spread on the ground in front of him, and some things were placed on it. The most eye-catching thing was an open transparent glass with many cyan beads stored in it. This was the main target of Li Mo's search this time.

With a sweep of his strange pupils, dark blue haloes of light emitted from the glass bottle.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Mo's mouth. It seemed that no tourist had been interested in this cyan bead in so many days. He walked to the old man and squatted down. He wanted to ask directly how the porcelain beads were sold. But when he glanced around, his expression changed.

I was stunned for a moment. Except for that on the cotton cloth

In addition to some Ming Dynasty porcelain beads, there are also some porcelain dolls. They are doll models made of porcelain. Judging from the strange movements and clothes on their bodies, they look like some puppets. Each puppet has a

The glaze color is bright, thick, and the facial features are exquisite and lifelike.

The most important thing is that these eight puppets also have a dark blue halo, and they were all fired in the early Ming Dynasty.

There were also three palm-sized stone tablets placed at the corner. There were words and patterns on the surface of the stone tablets. Li Mo picked up one of the stone tablets. There were beautiful colors and patterns on the stone, and it was made from Jinling.

Yuhua stone is a natural agate stone.

There are only two characters in it, written in regular script, carved into three parts of the stone, and written "Xiaokang". A five-clawed dragon is circling and surrounding it, giving it an extraordinary momentum.

Opening the stone tablet, there are two words engraved on the other side, which read "Ji Xing".

The three agate stone tablets have different colors, but the written content and patterns are exactly the same.

Li Mo suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and made a unique discovery. It seemed that Emperor Jianwen really did not burn to death in the palace, but used the golden cicada to escape from his shell and took the city nearby to take refuge here.

After Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he posthumously named his father Zhu Biao Emperor Xiaokang, and the temple was named Xingzong. This means that the three stone tablets in front of him were probably used to worship Xingzong of Ming Dynasty. Of course, Emperor Yongle Emperor Zhu Di later did not admit that Emperor Jianwen had succeeded him.

He was given the imperial title of his father, and Zhu Biao was renamed Prince Yiwen.

This old man seems to be very extraordinary. Everything placed on the ground is actually related to Emperor Jianwen. It seems that he is getting closer and closer to solving the mystery of Emperor Jianwen's life and death.

"Uncle, do you sell all these things?"

The old man nodded and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Which one do you want, I'll sell it to you cheaper."

"Everything is necessary, just give me a price."

The old man's eyes were a little brighter. He pointed to the blue porcelain beads in the glass bottle and said, "This one costs fifty yuan, these eight dolls cost one hundred each. For these three brands, just give them two hundred each."

"

Li Mo nodded and asked casually: "Uncle, how long have you been selling these things here?"

"This doll and the sign were brought to my home for sale just this morning. These beads have been on display for several days, and only one has been sold."

"Okay, I'll take them all. Uncle, do you have anything else like this at home? If so, I'd like to take a look and buy it if it suits me."

"Yes, there are a lot of them at home."

The old man nodded one after another. He met a good person today and actually wanted to buy them all.

There were fifty-two blue porcelain beads, and Li Mo calculated that they were exactly four thousand yuan. He asked Brown Bear to count out four thousand yuan from his backpack and hand it to him, which attracted the attention of many tourists.

The old man's hands were shaking when he took the money, and he was very excited at the moment.

"Thank you, young man. I have some packaging in my backpack, so it won't break if I pack it for you."

The old man took out some fragments and tape from the backpack beside him, which were relatively simple. But at this time, Li Mo didn't think much about it. He used the fragments to wrap the stone tablets and puppets two more layers and put them into the brown bear's backpack.

"Young man, my home is not far from here, only ten minutes' walk."

"Okay, let's walk back slowly with you."

The four of them walked along the alley, turned into the alley, and slowly moved away from the old street.

"Uncle, these things are quite exquisite. Where did you get them?"

The old man waved his hand and said: "My son dug it out of the mountains when he was young. Later, he got sick and died and kept it in the cellar at home. Now my wife is getting worse and worse, so I thought of selling it to give her some money.

Buy medicine."

"I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't know that your son has..."

"He has been dead for more than 20 years, and my wife and I have already thought about it."

"Uncle, what disease does your son have?" Sun Chengan asked.

"The onset of the disease was very sudden. During the attack in the middle of the night, his face was ashen, he was foaming at the mouth, and his whole body was convulsing. He died before he was sent to the hospital in town. Later, a local doctor from Murakami said that my son might have epilepsy.

It was so urgent and violent that there was no time to save him."

Li Mo listened in his mind and connected these contents with other clues. According to his preliminary speculation, these Ming Dynasty old objects were dug out of the mountains by the old man's son. His sudden illness was most likely not epilepsy, but

poisoning.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to a sparse little village. The old man's home had a dilapidated small yard. The walls of the yard had collapsed in three places. When they walked into the yard, they saw a man of about seventy years old.

The old lady was feeding the chickens. She had difficulty moving and her right leg was a little stiff when walking.

"Old lady, this gentleman wants to buy everything in our cellar."

The clothes on the old woman's body were all shabby, and her hair was gray and piled on her head like a haystack. Her hands were covered in dirt, and she didn't know what she had done before.

"Old man, you go to the cellar to get it. I'll give them less boiling water."

"Grandma, we don't need boiling water. We brought our own thermos cups and there is water." Sun Chengan was a little disgusted. He didn't dare to drink the water even after it was boiled.

The uncle quickly took out something wrapped in cotton from the cellar, and the brown bear hurried over to help. He put the package on the ground and opened it. There were ten puppets, twelve colorful and beautiful agate beads, and nine various agate bracelets.

.

"Uncle, are they all here?"

"Yes, there is nothing left here. Sir, please pay for these things."

Li Mo picked up one of the agate bracelets. The surface was engraved with Shoushan and Fuhai. The carving was very exquisite and superb.

There was no reply for a long time, and the old man whispered worriedly: "Sir, you can make it cheaper."

"Uncle, to tell you the truth, these things are antiques and they are quite valuable. I don't know how much I should give you, so I have an idea. Can you listen to it?"

"Sir, please speak."

"I see that you and grandma are getting older, grandma is in poor health, and there is no younger person to take care of you at home. I think if you are willing, I will find you a nursing home with a very good environment, and I will bear all the expenses incurred.

Come out and come out until the day you die."

These two old men lost their only son more than 20 years ago and are now in their 70s. The living environment is really poor. If they really only give a few thousand yuan, he can't make sense in his heart. If he gives it all at once,

Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands may not be a good thing for them.

That's why the idea came to his mind just now, to send them to a nursing home so that they could live comfortably in the last stage of their lives.

The old man was stunned, with an incredible look in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching, and tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle, do you believe me?"

The old man held back his tears, nodded, and said hoarsely: "If you can tell me these words, I will definitely believe you, otherwise you can just give me a few thousand yuan and leave. Sir, you are a good person.

He is a great good man."

Li Mo couldn't bear to see it. He glanced at Sun Cheng'an and said, "You can arrange this."

"Brown Bear, first give me 20,000 yuan for the uncle to use urgently."

Brown Bear took out two stacks of money from his backpack and handed them to the old man: "Uncle, you should keep this money first. After all the procedures are completed at the nursing home, you and grandma can go and live there."

The old man was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He stuffed the money into his arms and said, "I will go to the house to get some cotton and wrap these things well."

Sun Chengan walked out of the yard to make a phone call, then walked in and said: "Mr. Li, Zeng Yi's family has invested in a high-end nursing home in Fucheng. Leave this matter to him, so you can rest assured. I'm from Fucheng."

The car arrived here in about two hours. Uncle, grandma, why don't you two pack up first and see what things you need to bring? Of course, you will have everything when you arrive at the nursing home. You just need to bring some things that you are reluctant to throw away.

Just small dropped items will do.”

"Thank you, thank you so much. We have nothing to repay you, so we will kowtow to you a few times and repay your kindness in the next life."

The old man pulled his wife and was about to kneel down, but Li Mo stopped him.
