Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

As soon as Mrs. Rong said this, everyone's eyes focused on her. Mrs. Rong seemed to have made up her mind at this moment, she looked at her husband and said politely: "We met on the way to Jiuwei Peak. A strange thing happened. A few miles away from Jiuwei Peak, there is a town called Fozi Town, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Lu Jiusi twitched again for no reason, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Finally, Wen Yinong nodded and said, "There is indeed such a town, but because of a plague, the town was completely empty, and the imperial court merged it into Ronghe town." , under the jurisdiction of Tanwei."

Mrs. Rong couldn't help showing admiration, and bowed to Wen Yi Agricultural Bank: "Master Wen has a strong record of knowledge, it's no wonder that it's Mr. Jin Yiwei."

She has a pretty face, and even though she heard that Yinong was so mature and prudent, even if she didn't show it on the face, she couldn't help but feel a little complacent in her heart. Madam Rong continued: "When my husband and I passed by Fozi Town, It was getting dark, so we settled here. Fozi Town, as Master Wen said, is quite desolate, with ten rooms and nine empty rooms, so our husband and wife found a farmhouse to settle down. Originally, the two of us only wanted to live together It was late, but who knew that my husband was traveling day and night, and he suffered from a bit of cold air, so he kept coughing, so he had to stay in the town to seek medical consultation."

Although this Mrs. Rong is plainly dressed, she speaks and behaves quite well. She speaks slowly and unhurriedly: "There is no doctor in Fozi Town, there is only one pharmacy. When I went to get the medicine, I heard two The boys were chatting at the back of the hall. One boy said, "This man was born tall and mighty, and could lift a heavy cauldron, but why did he change his soul?" It’s all about brute force, let’s talk about Wenzhi and martial arts, Wenzhi always ranks ahead of martial arts, so why is it strange that he wants to change the soul of a literati?”

She seemed to be talking nonsense, but all the people present had weird expressions and did not refute. Even Wen Yinong, who was familiar with the prohibition and knew that the court had issued an order prohibiting rumors and gossips, only frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Shut up Rong Shi, there are even strangers in this dynasty, this strange art of changing souls

Mrs. Rong continued: "When the woman heard it, she thought it was just two children who read the strange book, and she didn't pay any attention to it. She was about to buy medicine, but she never thought of the boy in front of her and asked again, but If this soul is changed, it is not me anymore? The little boy behind replied, it is not one soul returning another soul, but the two souls merged into one place, so how could it not be me? It is just pity for the person whose soul was taken away, But I was afraid that from now on I would be foolish and foolish, and my body would move. When the woman heard this, she felt a chill in her heart, so she quietly withdrew, not daring to stay any longer, and left the Buddha with her husband that day. town."

The girl asked curiously: "You haven't said who the suspicious person is?"

Wen Nengren frowned slightly and figured out several layers of meaning contained in Madam Rong's words. First, the soul-changing manpower was a thousand catties, and he was a different person. Second, the person who changed his soul should be a wise person.Ye Sha is good at constructing puzzles, and he is undoubtedly a wise man, which explains their doubts, why Ye Sha was stabbed to death unsuspectingly, because he was already a fool after his soul was taken away. Why is Yesha dead, but the mist is still there, because although the other person is dead, the soul is not dead, but stays in the body of others.Although Mrs. Rong didn't say who was the most suspicious, but among all the people present, the most qualified one was Xiong Neng.

He can figure it out, and so can others, especially Lu Jiusi who knows that Xiong Nengren is one of the people he asked Yesha to invite.The gazes of several people were all looking at Xiong Nengren, and they walked half a step away from him without any trace. This person looks stupid, but who knows what is inside this body?

But Xiong Nengren looked back at the crowd with a puzzled expression: "This Mrs. Rong hasn't said who the suspicious person is yet, what do you think the old Xiong is doing?"

Fang Zishi's complexion was also a little ugly. No matter what Xiong Nengren said, he came with him. He doubted Xiong Nengren, and he couldn't get rid of his suspicion: "Mrs. Is it true?"

Mrs. Rong's face showed embarrassment, she just shook her head slightly, Fang Zishi sneered and said, "You have no evidence, just a few words to make people suspect Lao Xiong, it's a good way."

Xiong Neng knew it had been going on for a long time, and the woman said that the suspect was herself, so she couldn't help but show a ferocious expression, and her face trembled: "Stinky woman, you are impatient to live, and you are also accusing the old bear, Do you want to die?!"

Rong Shixi immediately stood in front of the pale-faced Mrs. Rong, coughing again and again: "My wife is only responding to the request of Mr. Wen, and relaying the words according to the words. I hope that this suspicious person can be found as soon as possible, and it is not just targeting Xiong Yishi."

Wen Yinong said: "This matter is under investigation, whether it is false or true depends on the final conclusion, everyone need not worry."

Although Wen Yinong smoothed things over, Xiong Nengren was still unconvinced, and glared at Madam Rong several times with a fierce look on his face. I couldn't help worrying about this delicate young woman.

Shen Fangji, who had been silent for a long time, said, "I also encountered an incident on the way here, but it may be related to it.",

Wen Yinong immediately said: "Young Master Shen, please tell me."

"A few days ago, a villager reported to Luozi Peak that a stranger had committed a crime near Fozi Town. I was ordered by Daoist Yang Wan to investigate." Shen Fangji's handsome face revealed a look of reminiscence, " The person who died was a scholar, and there are not many scholars who can produce talents among the farmers, so this Liu Xiucai has a reputation in ten miles and eight towns. In the past, this Liu Xiucai could only study hard, was not good at socializing, and was a bit dull However, one day, he suddenly changed his sex, became flirtatious, and even hooked up with a widow in the village. After a few words of persuasion from his wife, Liu Xiucai simply said that she behaved badly and had a relationship with her neighbors. He was driven back to his mother's house, and the widow was taken in. He died the most strangely, being wrapped in a big rock. If a child hadn't found the corner of his clothes embedded in the crevice of the stone, I'm afraid no one would have died by now. The body of Liu Xiucai was found. Besides Liu Xiucai, two other people died in this village at the same time."

Everyone gasped after thinking about how Liu Xiucai died, and the girl couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is the second one?"

"The second person who died was the eldest son of a landlord's family. This landlord was so bold that he secretly took in a concubine Shi Shi from a different person, and Shi Shi also gave birth to a second son for him. The second son was clever and clever. In comparison, the eldest son was dull and dull, and the old landlord was very partial to the second son, so after his wife died, he made Mrs. Shi into the main family. It is strange to say that the eldest son also seemed to be enlightened one day, not only able to Quoting scriptures, he can even talk eloquently about some difficult books, and he even won the rankings in the provincial examination. He can only be promoted to a scholar in the next year's government examination. It is conceivable that the family has naturally changed its direction, and the eldest son's status has become respected , even the old landlord was more polite to him, but helplessly, the eldest son had accumulated deep grievances, and seemed to want to drive the second son out of the house and kill him, but he failed to do so. The eldest son seemed to have a mad dog disease. He was bitten by a mad dog in the village more than a month ago, and even though he went to the doctor in time, he still fell ill."

The eldest son died of a mad dog disease as soon as he opened his eyes and changed his luck. Everyone sighed and laughed.

Lu Jiusi asked with a touch of his heart: "Is the stranger who killed Liu Xiucai the stranger's concubine?"

Shen Fangji showed approval in his eyes, nodded and said: "It is Mrs. Shi, but when we went, Mrs. Shi had hanged himself and left a suicide note, which stated that Liu Xiucai was killed by her, because she heard Liu Xiucai bewitched The eldest son first framed the second son to drive him out of the house, and then found someone to kill him in the wild, so that all the property of the old landlord could fall into the hands of the eldest son."

"This Liu Xiucai is so vicious in his mind, this eldest son listened to others' bewitching for his family property, and actually wanted to murder his younger brother. Both of them read the books of sages for nothing." Zhao Luli shook his head.

Among the people present, all of them were shrewd and powerful people. They only felt that methods were superior and inferior, and there was no reason for a sage. Therefore, they all scolded "scholars" in their hearts, but they didn't show it on the surface. Wen Yiduo also sighed: "It's a blessing for the court that such scholars die early, otherwise even my own younger brother will not be spared, and if he is an official in the future, wouldn't the common people be regarded as worthless?"

The girl couldn't help but asked again: "Then there is another one?"

"The last person to die is Huang Cai, the neighbor who was accused by Liu Xiucai of having a relationship with his wife. This person has a bad reputation. He is a local ruffian and gangster. His death method also seems to have a mad dog disease, and he is afraid of light. Afraid of water, the family locked him in a wing room for fear of people knowing. Later, Liu Xiucai disappeared, and the village chief brought people to the door because he remembered that he and Liu Xiucai had a holiday. Only then did he find that Huang Cai was crazy. As soon as he was released, he bit people everywhere and was beaten to death by the villagers.”

The girl said: "A mad dog killed two people, and the other was killed by a concubine of a different person. What does this have to do with changing souls?"

"Only looking at it, it seems that there is indeed no connection, but if Liu Xiucai is connected with the eldest son's temperament change and soul change, and the eldest son's inner soul is imagined as Liu Xiucai..."

The girl suddenly realized, and shouted: "The eldest son has changed the soul of Liu Xiucai, so, so..."

She stammered and couldn't continue, so Lu Jiusi continued for her: "That's why he became enlightened overnight and learned a lot. Liu Xiucai must have worked very hard to be a scholar as a farmer, so for some difficult He can also talk eloquently about his books. Moreover, he is obsessed with reading, respects the humble, and despises concubines and bastards, so he wants to do everything possible to target the second son, not all because of the eldest son's resentment."

Shen Fangji nodded: "Then Liu Xiucai's body is probably pretending to be the soul of the lustful and shameless Huang Cai, so he changed from a rigid nature to a flirtatious one, and hooked up with widows."

The girl was puzzled and said: "Then who is in Huang Cai's body?"

Shen Fangji glanced at her, and then said, "It should belong to that mad dog."

Everyone gasped. The eldest son was accidentally bitten by a mad dog when he went out one day. The two got together somehow.First, he plotted Liu Xiucai, put Liu Xiucai's soul into the body of the eldest son, and then Huang Cai himself exchanged the soul for Liu Xiucai. As for the empty body, Huang Cai was suspicious, so he simply caught him The soul of the mad dog was replaced.

In this way, the eldest son obtained the knowledge and status he wanted, while Huang Cai got Liu Xiucai's fame and his wife. Unfortunately, Liu Xiucai's transformation was difficult to deceive the people next to him. Huang Cai was not exposed and hooked up. The widow simply drove Liu's wife back to her natal home, happy and happy.

However, the bad habits of the ruffian will not change no matter whether he puts on the appearance of a scholar or not.Therefore, Huang Cai became greedy for the wealth of the landlord's family again, and began to trick the eldest son to kill the second son. When the landlord dies again, the ten thousand family wealth will fall into the hands of the eldest son, or half of it will fall into Huang Cai's hands .Unexpectedly, his dream was well done, but he never wanted to offend Shi Shi. The mother is strong for her son, so Huang Cai was killed by Shi Shi.

The girl sighed and said, "It's true that the Skynet is so extensive and sparse."

Fang Zishi frowned more and more. They were invited by Ye Sha to stop Shen Fangji. Only he and Xiong Nengren survived. He was not in good health, and he was far away from the battlefield, but why did Xiong Nengren survive? , He is neither the strongest person nor the smartest person. In the past, I thought he was rough and thick, but thinking about it, Xiong Nengren was just a role of cannon fodder, but now the cannon fodder has survived.

Xiong Nengren saw that everyone was looking at him with some unkind eyes, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was the target of everyone's criticism, and he became the most suspicious person in the eyes of others, so he couldn't help saying angrily: "You just told a story, and you took the old Xiong I, Old Bear, have a story to be the scapegoat!"
