Chapter 365: The Second Master of the Confucius House (2)
Fat Wei's words completely reminded Chen Zhi, and it was indeed the case!
It’s so true!!
In that turbulent era, even couples sleeping in the same bed might expose each other the next day, and trust between people became very weak.
If you don't leave your name on the letter, no one will believe it.
Therefore, this token used to prove identity must exist!!!
Moreover, this thing must be very close to the body and very special. People will know that it is something from the Confucius family at a glance.
Chen Zhi then asked Chen Yiyang to continue looking for breakthroughs in those ancient materials to see if anything special was found when the officer ransacked his home.
In less than a day, good news came from Chen Yiyang~~
Fat Wei’s guess was indeed correct!!!
The officer was investigated and punished because of factional issues, so there were several officers who ransacked the house together.
Those people at that time were so passionate that they did not pay attention to finances, but paid more attention to letters, hoping to find some evidence of counterrevolution in them.
Therefore, these letters are preserved in a relatively detailed manner, with seals and records on them.
There was no record of the return of these confiscated properties. They were all gathered together and sealed as counter-revolutionary materials!!
After the Gang of Four was crushed, the Cultural Revolution ended, and the country became increasingly accessible, most of the confiscated property was returned to its original owners.
But there are still some items left behind. Some items have been forgotten due to the passage of time, and some of the original owners have died, so they have become ownerless items.
Later, these materials were auctioned off by relevant departments after going through national procedures, and every auction item was recorded...
One of the jade pendants was sold to a businessman and passed on to his son.
Later, in order to prove the value of this jade pendant, his son even sent it to the treasure appraisal column for appraisal!!!
At that time, he didn’t say much on the show. He only said that this was something his father had purchased in his early years and he wanted experts to evaluate it.
There is an obvious mark on this jade pendant, which can prove that it is an item that came out of the Confucius Mansion, that is, it is "a first-class product from generation to generation".
Chen Yiyang is really a very powerful person. When he wants something, there is almost nothing he can't get.
Especially on the Internet, he is almost like an invisible black hand that is pervasive.
After a period of searching, he had found the treasure appraisal program from that year, copied the video, and sent it to Chen Zhi's mobile phone.
This program is at least 10 years old and is only available in the TV station's latest archives.
After Chen Zhi opened the video, he found that the picture was quite clear.
A middle-aged man held a round jade pendant and asked an expert to help him taste it.
At that time, the expert inspected the jade pendant and said it was the finest Hetian jade. The jade was clear and round, and the workmanship was extremely fine. It should be a personal item for a decent person.
Moreover, the middle of this jade pendant is hollow, and four large characters are engraved vertically on the front: First grade for generations, which is the symbol of Confucius!
In the very corner of the jade pendant, there is a tiny pattern carved, which should be the name of the owner of the jade pendant.
The expert did not say the name clearly at the time, but the engraved text fell on the screen.
Chen Zhi freezes the video, then enlarges the pattern and watches it carefully.
The pattern is carved in the shape of a very delicate pig. According to common sense, this should be the zodiac sign of the owner of the jade pendant.
There were several seal characters carved inside the piglet. When I looked at it carefully, I found that the name written on it was: Kong Qinghan!!!
This is undoubtedly a happy discovery.
Judging from the match between the time of the jade pendant auction and the time of the incident, this Kong Qinghan should undoubtedly be the owner of the jade pendant!
And the name itself can reveal a lot of personal information.
In ancient times, wealthy families were very particular about their names. If they felt that whatever was lacking in their lives, they should make up for it.
Some people are born with a strong fire attribute in their horoscopes, so they need cold water vapor to suppress them, so a lot of water vapor is added to their children's names.
Judging from this, this person should be a very angry person who lacks water in his life.
Moreover, he was born in the Year of the Pig, and around 1969, he served as the second head of the Confucius family.
The matching of these personal information can be said to be very detailed. It is not difficult to find him~~
After that, Chen Zhi immediately asked Pang Wei to find a way to find this person named Kong Qinghan in the Kong family's genealogy.
Look where he once lived? Is he still alive now?
Although the Kong family's genealogy is a family property, today it can no longer be completely kept secret.
After several generations of changes, it has been reprinted and rubbed in many versions. It is not difficult for Fat Wei, who often lives in Liulichang, to get it.
Not long after, someone sent Fat Wei a relatively accurate genealogy of the Kong family.
It records the important members of the Confucian family in the past dynasties, whether they were direct descendants or concubines, eldest or young, some who died at a full life, or some who died in infancy, all of which are recorded very clearly.
Chen Zhi and Pang Wei flipped through the family tree for a long time, looking for Kong Qinghan's name.
I thought it would be easy to find, but in the end I discovered an unacceptable reality.
That is to go through the genealogy of a hundred years before and after 1969, and finally found that this person does not exist in the genealogy at all...
This ending really stunned them!!!
A dignified second head of the Confucius family does not appear in the family tree. This is simply unreasonable!!
Because the genealogy was a rubbing, they also thought about the issue of accuracy. Pangwei asked someone to send two versions, and even asked Chen Yiyang to find a print of the genealogy when the Kong family worshiped their ancestors.
But still found nothing...
Moreover, when Chen Zhi took a closer look, he found that although those Kong family members who had committed the crime of disloyalty and unfilial piety were labeled as guilty, their names still appeared in the genealogy and did not disappear out of thin air.
And Kong Qinghan, who left the letter, is like a ghost, with no record in the Kong family's genealogy.
It's like being completely forgotten by this family...
