During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Bajun and Shunjun Baylor were lawless, proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and grumpy, and often broke into the world to kill people. But there is nothing the Beijing government can do, because this big Baylor has a yellow jacket given by the emperor, which can be exempted from guilt.

Every time Baylor commits a murder, the arresting officer will come to arrest him, and Wang's housekeeper will whip his horse and give him a yellow jacket. Baylor put on a yellow jacket and swaggered away, and the people complained bitterly.

On this day, big Baylor molested a flower girl on the roadside after drinking. Unexpectedly, the flower girl sternly refused. Baylor flew into a rage, riding a horse with its head held high and stepping on Flower Girl under its hoof. The flower girl vomited blood and died. When the chief executive arrived, he was discouraged by seeing Baylor. I saw a yellow jacket from Wang's housekeeper. Big Baylor put on a yellow jacket and said to the arresting officer, "Ben Baylor, give this girl one hundred and twenty pieces of silver. Who told her to be ungrateful? "

Baylor threw a few pieces of silver beside the flower girl's body and proudly raised his legs to get on the horse. I saw Flower Girl's old father, a dirty old man, suddenly threw himself on Big Baylor, put his hands on his yellow jacket and cried, "I don't want money, I want you to pay for my daughter's life!" Baylor kicked the old man far away, got on a big horse and left.

It is said that after the big Baylor returned to the palace, he carefully put away his yellow coat, hung it in the west wing, and ordered his servants to guard it strictly. The next day, Baylor couldn't hold his temper again, and went to Justin for a natural and unrestrained trip. I didn't expect to be hit by a sedan chair when I came out. Baylor flew into a rage and whipped the bearers alive.

Hearing that their companions were killed, a group of bearers gathered in front of Yihong Courtyard, naturally stopped Baylor in the road and called the arresting officer. Several policemen came, already secretly dissatisfied with this big Baylor, and arrested him. Baylor naturally showed no fear, just waiting for the housekeeper to send him a yellow jacket.

At this time, a sedan chair came in the distance. Baylor looked at it and thought that the housekeeper had brought a yellow jacket. Unexpectedly, the sedan chair came out unexpectedly. I saw Prince Heshun look strange, but he didn't take out a yellow jacket. Instead, he pulled Lord Baylor to the sedan chair and whispered, "Last night, the yellow jacket was bitten to pieces by a group of mice, and my father was rushing to make it. This matter must not be leaked to the holy one, otherwise it is a great sin to keep the yellow jacket improperly! Stay in the prison first, and once the yellow jacket is ready, send it to the rescue! "

Big Baylor's face changed greatly and he was heartbroken. He was taken away by the police officer who arrested him and put in prison. Prince Heshun returned to the palace, hurriedly called the housekeeper Yin, and hurriedly said, "Manager Yin, how about remaking the yellow jacket?" Yoon frowned and said, "Report, this yellow jacket is really exquisite in weaving technology. The outside of Gusu Temple is made of silk. The villain has been made by a skillful craftsman with a life of two thousand gold, but this dyeing is really difficult ... "

Say that finish, Yin took out a mandarin jacket from the bosom, and the yellow mandarin jacket given by the emperor is exactly the same, but the color is still white silk. Wang Shun complained, "Why not dye it yellow?" Yin shook his head and said, "Your report says that the yellow jacket is a Chinese odyssey because its yellow dyeing method is the secret method in the palace. The color is unique. The overall color is goose egg yellow, and the sleeves, collar and brother-in-law are all the same. Therefore, it is very difficult for ordinary colorists to dye like this. If it is sent to the government, the government finds that the yellow jacket is forged and tells the holy family that it is a big sin.

Yin handed it over and said, "Your Majesty, there is a village called Dong Guyan in the north of the city. Dong Jiayan has a dyer named Zhou, and his craftsmanship is extraordinary. Justice Baylor's case is very popular now. After the trial, they will be sent to the execution ground. This dyeing is urgent! " Prince Heshun was in a hurry and went to Dong Guyan with the housekeeper to dress up in disguise.

Dongjiayan is indeed the hometown of dyeing cloth. Dyed cloth is hung in every household, and blue cloth, blue shirt and black silk are everywhere. Yin looked around and found Zhou Hongxi in the dyehouse beside the village stream. Zhou Hongxi is an old man, covered with colorful dyes, and his face is dirtier. He was dyeing cloth in the dyehouse. He saw that the dyehouse was full of dye vats filled with all kinds of cloth.

The dye house stinks, and Prince Shun covers his nose. Yin handed out the jacket, took out a piece of cloth for the yellow jacket, and whispered to Zhou Hong, "How long will it take to dye this plain jacket so pale yellow with goose yellow?"

Zhou Hong raised his eyelids and snorted from his nose: "At least three days!" After winking at the housekeeper, Yin hurriedly put forward a box of gold: "Can it be two days?" If you can do it, the reward is here! "

Zhou Hongxi sighed and said, "It's not about money! You can have a look at this dye house. The way to dye cloth is to use plants from all over the world as raw materials, supplemented by minerals. Indigofera is blue, red is madder, safflower and perilla, purple is Arnebia euchroma and perilla, and black is gallnut and sappan. Among them, yellow is the most difficult to modulate, and it is modulated by Sophora japonica, Curcuma longa, Gardenia and Cortex Phellodendri. Among them, the number of flowers and plants is one and the color is one. What's more, to dye it yellow, the whole body should be pure yellow, and even the lapels should be pure yellow. Be sure to soak in hot water for one day, soak in cold water for one day, and blow in the wind for three days. It really can't hold! In a hurry, there is red in the yellow. "

"Three days later, it is the day of execution. Baylor's life can be saved before the execution! " And report commanded, returned to the capital.

Although there are rumors in Beijing that Wang's real Madrid jacket has been lost, after all, no one dares to confirm it. What's more, Prince Heshun entered the palace with countless gold, silver and jewels to smooth the relationship with the eunuchs around the emperor and not let the emperor know about it.

It is said that Yin kept a close eye on Zhou Hongyi and watched Zhou Hongyi dye his jacket. I saw Zhou Hongyi first put the jacket in the stream, rinsed it clean, then put it in a stone pot and dyed it in a pot. Yellow is particularly complicated. Rehmannia glutinosa, Sophora japonica, Phellodendron amurense, Curcuma longa, Huang Zhe and other plants are soaked in boiled juice, and the temperature is scorching.

The dyehouse stinks, and the dye smells terrible. After processing, Yin hid in a small restaurant at the entrance of the village to have a rest and came to check it from time to time. Late at night on the third day, seeing that the mandarin jacket was going to be dyed, Yin and Ye came to the dyehouse happily. I saw Zhou Hongxi's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his yellow jacket. Facing the moonlight, the yellow jacket is purple and ochre, and its color is dazzling. Wang Shun couldn't help saying, "This is really a must! The yellow jacket is unique because it can appear purple in the moonlight, and the master's craftsmanship is unique! Butler, send the gold and take the jacket away! "

Zhou Hongxi took the gold, but shook his head and said, "You can't take it with you. I can't take it away until noon tomorrow! " ""why? "Prince Heshun is in a hurry, because it is time to execute Baylor at noon tomorrow. Zhou Hongyi hung the yellow jacket on the Xikou, pointed to a stone platform in Xikou and said, "The stone platform here is rich in minerals, and the dew is quite heavy at night. If this pale yellow does not fade, it can only be placed on the stone platform of this stream, and the dew is moist. As soon as the sun shines the next day, the minerals in the stone can be fixed. Don't worry about wind and rain! "

Yin, the housekeeper, advised the prince, "This yellow coat must not fade before it can be used! Your majesty can't worry, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain. Tomorrow, he just needs to hurry up and bribe the executioner with gold and silver to delay the time. Naturally there will be time! " Heshun report had to nod.

The next day, on the day of execution, the noon gate was crowded with people. The executioner was naturally bought off by Prince Shun, and he didn't give the order. Sure enough, Prince Heshun immediately came with his housekeeper. The housekeeper shook off his yellow jacket and shouted proudly, "The royal yellow jacket is here. Why don't you let Lord Baylor go?"

Seeing the yellow jacket, the bound Baylor proudly stood up and said to the executioner, "Let Ben Baylor go quickly, or you will not finish eating!" " The executioner cut the rope on Big Baylor. Big Baylor put on a yellow jacket, swaggered on a burly horse and laughed: "This time, your report made Lord Benbaylor suffer. Do you really think you will be executed? " Ha ha laugh ... "

Just as Big Baylor was riding around proudly, it suddenly began to rain cats and dogs on a cloudy day, and the yellow jacket of Big Baylor was soaked. At this time, someone exclaimed in surprise and pointed to Big Baylor: "Look, the yellow jacket has turned into a bloody red jacket!" " "

Everyone looked around and saw that the yellow jacket turned red after being rained, as red as blood. Slowly, a dragon emerged from the jacket, just like the dragon on the robe that day.

Everyone shouted: "Dragon robe? It has become a dragon robe again ... "Some people even scolded:" How dare you wear a dragon robe? Want to rebel! "

Prince Heshun was surprised. He knew that Zhou Hongyi must have tampered with the yellow jacket. Seeing that the traitor's name was about to fall on his head, Prince Shun shouted, "Take off your coat quickly, quickly!"

Baylor hurriedly took off his jacket, panicked, but was arrested by the chief who surrounded him. It turned out that he had no yellow jacket to protect himself, so he became a sinner. Prince Heshun looked at the dragon coat, bright red as blood, speechless with panic.

Such a big event, officials have reported to the palace, eunuchs saw such a rebellious thing, dare not hide it any more, and told Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi was furious. Big Baylor, dressed in a dragon robe, swaggered at the meridian gate, so he ordered the big Baylor to be put to death, and Wang Shun's property was taken into exile.

Since then, the capital has finally lost a schoolyard bullies, and it is much more peaceful. It has been rumored that the ghost who died unjustly opened God's eyes and turned the yellow jacket into a bloody coat ... However, after the beheading of Baylor, on the stone platform of Dongjiayankou, Zhou Hongyi muttered to a grave behind the stream: "Daughter, selling flowers before her death was killed by that evil thief, and finally avenged her father!" It turns out that Zhou Hongyi is the old father of Flower Girl who was killed by Baylor. This Zhou Hongxi's face was covered with dyes, and the housekeeper didn't recognize him that day. On the day when Flower Girl was killed, Zhou Hongyi pounced on Baylor and was kicked off by Baylor, but he still put Zhejiang yellow dye on Baylor's yellow jacket, which is hard for ordinary people to see. Late at night, Zhou Hongyi put a group of mice in the village into the wall of the palace. It turned out that the mouse liked Zhehuang, climbed up the wall and bit the yellow jacket into pieces.

Zhou Hongyi had long expected that apart from the official dyehouse inside and outside Beijing, only this recipe could be dyed pure, so when the housekeeper and Prince Shun came to see him, he painted his face, which was hard for the housekeeper to recognize. Zhou Hongyi tampered with his coat and extracted it with colorless madder, occasionally mixed with dragon stripes. If the jacket gets wet by rain, it will turn red and show the dragon pattern. ...

I saw Zhou Hong staring at the stone platform in Xikou, tears streaming down her face: "Daughter, this stone platform is where you played since childhood. Yesterday, it resurfaced. My father thought it would rain at noon today. So, I put off my mandarin jacket until the afternoon to give it to my enemy, let it show its true colors in the rain, and you will feel at ease under the grave ... "
