Chapter 9 A Severed Hand

Chapter 9 A severed hand

Author: Wu Shufeng

Chapter 9 A severed hand

A severed hand was displayed on the exhibition stand. It should have been severed with a sharp weapon. The incision was clean and smooth, leaving a small pool of blood on the exhibition stand. It seemed that it had been freshly severed not long ago.

Shi Ying raised her hand and gestured vaguely. This right hand looked like a man's hand, with long fingers, protruding knuckles, pale skin, thin calluses on the fingers, and a few old scars on the hand.

Although there is a gold and white jade ring on his middle finger, Shi Ying speculates that this is not a pampered man, at least not always in a pampered state. There may have been a period in his life where he needed to be self-reliant.

The label on the booth simply read: Severed Hand.

She lingered around the booth, looking up and down the square inch booth three times, but didn't get any more information. She didn't know why the exhibition hall asked her to come in. She couldn't scare her with a severed hand, although she was indeed beaten.

Scared, but not much. If it were just that, the exhibition hall's rank would be a bit low.

Shi Ying looked at the vague exhibits in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then walked forward. She had to get more information to know what the mastermind behind the scenes was planning.

The next exhibit is much more normal.

Ebony hairpin, described on the label.

There is nothing special about the hairpin. There are no inscriptions or patterns on the hairpin body. There are traces of use, but they are not serious. There are no scars or wear. The hairpin is very clean. It is not stained with blood or dirt from many angles. It is similar to the one just now.

The only difference was the fresh severed hand, which looked like it had been taken from a dressing box.

An ordinary hairpin, Shi Ying thought, looks like it only costs 9.9 and comes with free shipping.

Shi Ying guessed that the hairpin might belong to the same person as the hand just now, but there was still too little information for her to make a definite judgment.

Go forward.

The third exhibit was very large and hung on the wall, overlooking Shi Ying. The height and area it occupied brought a strong sense of oppression. The black, white and red color scheme of the entire wall also shocked Shi Ying's vision.

This is a full set of mourning clothes, complete with hemp rope and cloth shoes, hung neatly on the wall. The right hand of the mourning clothes is a reddish-brown color after blood oxidation, and there are splatters of blood on the body. It is not difficult to see that it is most likely the first one.

A broken hand becomes the clothing worn when a broken hand is broken.

The style and material of the mourning clothes can be seen to be very carefully thought out. It is a high-quality product and definitely not the grade that ordinary people would wear when going to a funeral. The size of the shoes confirmed Shi Ying's guess. The visual inspection showed that they were at least size 43 in length, and there was a high probability that they were not women.

.

So this is a long-haired man who is about 1.8 meters tall and has good living conditions?

Modern men rarely use hairpins. Is this a Taoist priest?

Why do Taoist priests cut off their wrists, to subjugate demons?

Shi Ying's thoughts began to run in the direction of the supernatural. He could be resurrected from the dead, his umbrella was conscious and could understand words and moved on its own. There seemed to be nothing unreasonable about fairies and Taoist priests. It was very reasonable.

Shi Ying walked forward with her mind full of imagination of Taoist priests subjugating demons.

In front of me is a wall that is larger and longer than before. Hanging on the wall are four sets of festive auspicious clothes, Hanfu style, red and black colors, exquisite embroidery, numerous accessories, in pairs. The label underneath reads four words:

The joy of wedding.

Shi Ying's eyes were attracted by the phoenix crown in the middle. From her point of view, such a gorgeous phoenix crown, if the materials were genuine, could be sold at an auction for more than ten million yuan.

The phoenix crown is made entirely of gold wire and is decorated with six dragons and four phoenixes. The shape is full of majesty and lifelike. There are flowers and trees as decorations on the side, embellished with gems and pearls of different sizes, and there are also mother-of-pearls covered with gems or decorated with emeralds, large and small.

Similar beads made of strings of large pearls are decorated on it, making it radiant and beautiful.

Shi Ying has seen many beautiful and luxurious phoenix crowns in various museums, but those have gone through hundreds of thousands of years. Although it is not difficult to see how noble they were back then from the current situation, after all, they are covered with a layer of dust of time.

The impact on people is not that strong.

This phoenix crown seemed as fresh as if it had just been taken off the bride's head. Standing in front of it, there was a sense of shock and disdain.

Shi Ying speculated that the identity of the owner of this phoenix crown was between the royal wife and the concubine in the harem. The most iconic decoration is the six dragons and four phoenixes. If it is a queen, it should be nine dragons and six phoenixes to be extremely noble, and six dragons and four phoenixes.

Feng is a little lower, but he is still an absolute leader.

The wedding dress that occupies a large area of ​​the wall next to the phoenix crown is also inlaid with gold and jade. It is extraordinary. There is also a circle of golden rice-sized pearls hanging on the wedding dress. They are similar in size and each one is round. The level of luxury is astonishing. It is really a detail.

See dignity everywhere.

On the other hand, the men's wedding dress on the left is made of fine materials and can be regarded as top quality, but it only has gold thread embroidery on the black belt and is embellished with white jade. The collar and cuffs are only gold thread embroidery, without beads or jade.

The large swaths of patterns are the patterns that come with fine fabrics. There are no embroideries, and the jewelry is solitary. There is just a hosta and a gold ring. The ring is the gold-inlaid white jade ring worn by the first broken hand. Look at the whole thing alone.

They look very elegant, but they don't match well when placed next to Feng Guan Xia. They don't look like a couple, but like the Queen has hired a minister.

The pair of wedding clothes on the other side does not have such a big contrast and looks much more normal. The owner of the men's clothes should be a military commander. There is a festively decorated saber next to the wedding clothes, showing the identity of the owner. The owner of the women's clothes has no characteristics and may be just ordinary.

The boudoir lady.

Although these two wedding dresses are not as exquisite and luxurious as the one next to them, they are still made of high-quality materials and have thousands of stitches and threads. It can be seen that the makers are very careful.

Shi Ying felt that if the first severed hand and the third mourning dress belonged to someone here, it should be the owner of the wedding dress that was the least attentive. He was pampered but not always pampered, and the wedding dress was not treated with care.

On the contrary, the woman's wedding dress was extremely gorgeous. Shi Ying felt that she might have guessed something. It was really like the ancient version of the Phoenix Man. And who was the most famous and noble Phoenix Man in ancient times? There was no doubt that he was the Consort.

This also just confirms Shi Ying's guess about the owner of the phoenix crown. It is very reasonable for a princess or princess to wear a phoenix crown with six dragons and four phoenixes when she gets married.

Now four characters have appeared, and the man who is suspected of being a prince-in-law appears the most often. It seems that it is not a drama about Taoist priests subduing demons. Taoist priests who subjugate demons will never get married, and they will still be the princess.

Shi Ying felt slightly regretful.

After double-checking that there were no missing details, Shi Ying walked to the next booth.

The name of this exhibit is: Choice.

The first thing Shi Ying saw was a ball of pure white cloth, which looked similar to a 50-year-old Hada in the scenic spot. It was piled disorderly on one side of the booth. On the other side was a wooden tray with a porcelain

There is a long-necked pot with a matching porcelain cup next to it. The cup is filled with amber liquid, whether it is wine or tea.

This familiar set meal, and the white cloth that looks like Hada is actually the legendary Bai Ling. Shi Ying thought numbly, this is really a royal palace. As soon as he found a princess consort, he came with the death-gift set meal.

It seems that the person who was sentenced to death chose Bai Ling to hang himself. Bai Ling's condition was obviously that it had been used, and there was not a trace of poisonous wine in the cup.

I just don’t know which one was sent to death, whether it was one of the four people who had just been delighted, or a new character.

Shi Ying carefully observed the used white silk, and saw no traces of powder, nor any traces of hair. However, if hair was found, it was impossible to confirm the gender. After all, the ancients, regardless of gender, might have left long hair.

hair.

I have to say that this exhibition hall is really brutal. From the time she entered until now, the only normal exhibits Shi Ying has seen are the wooden hairpins and the four sets of wedding clothes. Everything else has either seen blood or is on the way to it.

For example, in front of him, a blood-stained dagger stabbed vertically into a piece of letter paper. The blood smudged the letter paper into a mess, and Shi Ying tried hard to identify the scattered words on the edge of the letter paper that had not been contaminated.

"My dear brother Chang, I heard that the general has left Beijing for the north. You will go with the army... I often recall Hengshan Academy, my classmates... We are far away from each other, and it is difficult to see each other again... Safe and smooth... Foolish brother Qingyuan nodded."

It seems that this wise brother Chang is a classmate of Qingyuan, the younger brother of the general. He followed the newly married general to march north. After hearing the news, the former classmate sent a farewell speech, but for some reason he was killed.

The bloody dagger looked unremarkable, and the handle was tightly wrapped with coarse cloth. It did not look like the jewelry of a powerful family, but more like a mass-produced standard weapon. It was unknown whether it was a sidearm equipped by the military or a leftover from a killer sent by other organizations.

If the exhibits here are all related to the prince-in-law, then the person signed by Qingyuan is probably the prince-in-law. From the wedding clothes in the front, it can be seen that the general has another person, and the prince-son-in-law is mostly a civil servant and rarely goes to war with the army.

Very good, there is another person named Changzhi, and a person who killed him. The story is getting more and more complicated, Shi Ying thought as she looked at the word "Farewell" on the label in front of her.
