Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Zhao Ran smiled and threw out the cards in his hand: "Actually speaking from the face of the cards, the red-haired ghost could also choose the blue-faced beast, but you chose the handsome man, and the thunderbolt can also choose the golden gunner, but you chose no?" Feather arrows, red against beauty, thunderbolt against no feathers, this shows that you have murderous intentions in your heart. You choose to use jade unicorns against Hua Rong, the one with the highest force against the most beautiful, and what you compare yourself to in your heart is not the prodigal Yan Qing, but the Is Lu Junyi the one with the highest force value?"

Zhao Tianci seemed to be stunned, and then he said amusedly: "Grandma, what are you talking about? This is a fishing village. Is there anything I want in the fishing village? Do you need any murderous intentions?"

"Where's Zhao Jing?" Zhao Ran said with a grin, "I've seen Zhao Jing's appearance in the coffin, and even then I can imagine that he must have been very beautiful back then, with clear and handsome features, and turned all sentient beings upside down. Not as good looking as him, right?"

Zhao Tianci frowned.

"And he has a kind of coldness that can only be seen from a distance and can't be played with. He is obviously just a refugee, but the more you pester him, the more despicable you feel. He is like a bronze mirror... That kind of despicable feeling will Deep in your heart, the more you can't get it, the more you want to destroy him, right?"

Zhao Tianci overturned the dim sum plate on the table with a "wow", and glared at Zhao Ran, just as Zhao Zhongbo walked in, he hurriedly said, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"This crazy woman just played a leaf card and wanted me to kill Zhao Jing!" Zhao Tianci said angrily.

Zhao Ran hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sin, sin, I just said that the young master of your mansion is full of murderous intent!"

Zhao Zhongbo hurriedly comforted Zhao Tianci in a low voice: "Master Yang is still here, isn't it true that you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you have a bad temper!"

Zhao Tianci left in a flick of his sleeves, Zhao Zhongbo then turned his head to smooth things over and said: "Master Yang, Madam, lunch is ready."

----

Zhao's lunch is mainly fresh water fish from the lake. Where did Zhaoran eat this in the north? He must have died of joy.

After eating, Zhao Ran repeatedly complained about his backache.

Zhao Zhongbo said: "Then I will arrange for the old lady to enter the room and rest for a while."

Zhao Ran said happily: "This is really good, the old man can't bear this torment."

Zhao Zhongbo arranged for both of them to rest in the east wing of the second gate.

Yang Xueshi sent Zhaoran into the room, and said in a low voice, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Just played a little game with him."

"Don't say it."

Seeing Yang Xueshi turn around and leave, Zhao Ran quickly grabbed him and said, "Yes, yes, come and sit down and I'll tell you."

He patted the side of the bed and said, "Sit down!"

Yang Xueshi looked at the bed, sat down as promised, but Zhao Ran grabbed his hand, Yang Xueshi immediately said: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't move, don't you want to know what I'm talking about?" He spread Yang Xueshi's palm as he spoke, took his fingers and gently slid them across Yang Xueshi's slender palm, from the base of the palm to the fingers.

A blush appeared on Yang Xueshi's face: "Tell me quickly, what do you want to do?"

"Now every time I say a word, you match me with a word. For example, when I say eyes, you deserve to see this? You have to follow up very quickly, can you do it?"

Yang Xueshi said lightly: "If you try it, you won't know."

"Okay, eyes." Zhao Ran said.

"See you." Yang Xueshi said quickly.

"Tongue."

"Taste."

"nose."

"smell."

"Head." Zhao Ran took Yang Xueshi's hand and said.

"Think." Yang Xueshi said immediately.

"Palm."

Yang Xueshi's lips trembled, and he paused.

"Palm..." Zhaoran repeated with a toothy smile: "The first thing you think of is not "hold", but "itch", right?"

Yang Xueshi's face turned even redder, fine beads of sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, he withdrew his hand fiercely: "You dare to tease me."

Zhao Ran raised his hand and said: "Don't be angry, I'm just giving you a demonstration, for example. When people play these games, they will reveal their own thoughts, just like a person who has a murderous intention in his heart goes to buy tableware. The first choice is probably not a bowl, but chopsticks, because chopsticks can be associated with thorns, poking these words, even though he felt that he was not thinking of killing people at all."

Yang Xueshi seemed to understand a little bit, and said: "So you played cards with Zhao Tianci to see what he was thinking. And he used Chi against Mei, Thunderbolt against No Feather Arrow, and finally discarded Wu Yong, so what do you think? He has murderous intentions in his heart."

"clever."

"Then who do you think he planned to kill?"

"None of these witnesses are reliable, whether it was a coincidence or was bought, it is unknown."

Yang Xueshi was taken aback: "He wants to kill the witness, that's it, why did you remind him?"

"Of course it's to let him do it earlier." Zhao Ran said nonchalantly, "Hey, the case you want to investigate was three years ago. If he doesn't kill people again, where can I find evidence? Do you know that you asked someone else to do it?" A very difficult thing?"

Yang Xueshi was angry and speechless, he stood up and said: "Even if this is the case, can people's lives be ignored? If so, what is the point of my coming here?"

Zhaoran thought to himself that it was just a dream, why bother to take it seriously, when he looked up and saw Yang Xueshi's serious profile, he was [-]% like Jiuru, and felt his whole heart melt, he reached out and hugged Yang Xueshi With a slender waist, he cried, "Maybe he's trying to kill me now, and it's not necessarily true!"

He just finished saying this and suddenly saw his fingers start to become transparent, he couldn't help being startled, and panic came out of nowhere.

Yang Xueshi pushed him away and annoyed: "You deserve it!"

Zhaoran quickly hid his hands under the quilt, closed his eyes and said, "Let me sleep for a while."

Seeing him fluctuating from hot to cold, Yang Xueshi stopped at the door and asked again: "There is another question, how do you know that Mrs. Wu has a grandson in the room for Ji Niang to hug."

Zhao Ran half-opened her eyes and said: "There are scratches on the corner of Wu's eyes, the hair on the right side is a little messy, and there is a wet spot on her shoulder. If she was caused by a fight, the scratches will not be old and new. It's not just one side of the mess, it's obviously caused by holding a baby in the teething period. The scars are new and old, which means that the baby is probably her own. Her shoulders are wet, which means that she was still holding the baby just now. This child is asleep. Now that she is asleep, the Zhao family is screaming again, I guess she won't be in a hurry to find someone to watch the child, she probably came directly after putting the child under the quilt."

Yang Xueshi seemed to stare at him for a long time before saying: "Be careful yourself.

Zhaoran yawned, pretending to be in a daze and replied: "Understood, you should also be careful."

As soon as Yang Xueshi left, he quickly took out his hand, only to see that his fingers were sometimes empty and sometimes materialized.

Is he going to disappear from here?

Zhaoran wondered if he was going to wake up?But why does he have such a strong sense of crisis.

Where is he wrong?But what is wrong?

----

Zhao Ran really fell asleep, and yawned and left the door of the wing room. Zhao Zhongbo walked over politely: "The patriarch asked me to tell the old lady, you and Mr. Yang that he will personally take care of this matter, and invite the two of you to come to Yudang The village will last for a few days."

"What does Master Yang think?" Zhao Ran turned to look at Yang Xueshi.

Yang Xueshi said: "It's okay, then stay for two more days."

Zhao Ran smiled and said, "That's very good, my wife also wants to rest for two days."

Just as Zhao Zhongbo squeezed out a little smile, Zhao Ran continued: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to ask these people, can I call them again."

"This..." Zhao Zhongbo hesitated slightly.

Yang Xueshi asked lightly: "Is it possible?"

Zhao Zhongbo immediately smiled and said: "Then I will make arrangements here, you two will wait."

Zhaoran came out of the Chuihua Gate, and saw Ji Niang poking her head at the other end of the sedan chair courtyard again. Seeing Zhaoran approaching, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old lady, when will the money you promised me just now be cashed?"

"I want to stay here for a few more days, and I will give it to you when I leave. I will also count the wages for these few days to you."

Ji Niang hurriedly said: "No, no more, just give as much as you have, old lady."

Zhao Ran looked at her and said: "You work for me, the Zhao family has made things difficult for you."

"No, no, of course not!" Ji Niang shook her hand and said, "The patriarch is fair, which is recognized by my grandmother, but we must be from the Zhao family. I thought the old lady was just visiting the house, but I In a hurry to spend money, I accepted this job, but I don't know that the old lady and my lord are here to reverse the case..."

Yang Xueshi interjected coldly: "Why, it seems that you think this case was also done by the Zhao family."

Ji Niang was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, she waved her hands again and again: "How is it possible? A person that my grandma can trust, how could she do such a thing? The patriarch is someone my grandma recognizes!"

"What do you mean by grandma?" Zhao Ran reassured, "It's okay, just speak slowly."

Ji Niang then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Every fishing season every fishing village goes to the Zuniang Temple to worship ancestors, but for so many years, only the fleet that went to incense with the patriarch has never had any accidents. Even the priests and eminent monks cannot guarantee that everything will be safe. Everyone says that it is because the Zhao family is noble and pure that they are blessed by grandma."

Zhao Ran let out an "oh" and blinked slightly.

Zhao Zhongbo had already brought those people here, even Zhao Tianci was among them, he obviously got the order, even though he looked impatient, he didn't say it badly.

Ji Niang quickly lowered her head.

"Everyone sit in the hall."

Zhao Zhongbo glanced at Ji beside him and said, "Old Madam, Master Yang, we have an unsolicited invitation."

"Second Master, please tell me." Yang Xueshi said.

"It's related to the reputation of our family. Before the investigation is clear, please don't make it public."

Zhao Ran sneered in his heart, how innocent Zhao Jing was back then, who would ever think about his reputation.

Yang Xueshi said, "Naturally."

Zhao Zhongbo glanced over all the people present and said in a deep voice: "That being the case, if Master Yang wants to ask anything, you can answer honestly."

The seven people had obviously received their orders, except for Zhao Tianci and Zhao Min'er, the others all bowed their heads and said yes.

----

Zhao Ran looked at them and said: "You stay in the side hall first, later I will ask Ji Niang to come and call you, whoever I call will come and answer my words."

Zhao Tianci said, "After asking, can we go?"

"Naturally." Zhao Ran said with a smile, "Leave if you want."

Zhao Min'er said, "What do you want to ask?"

Zhao Ran said: "Since it is a question, everyone's question will be different. You all stay in the side hall. I will go to the upside-down room in the sedan chair courtyard to ask questions. Whichever of you will come first."

Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Min'er who said first: "I'll come first."

----

When Zhao Ran sat down in the upside-down hut in the sedan chair courtyard, Zhao Min'er gritted her teeth impatiently and said, "When my elder brother was alive, Zhao Tianci pestered him in every possible way. I owe the Zhao family a large amount of medical expenses, my brother has already taken me away!"

When she said this, she looked like she was about to cry, but said clearly: "I didn't come to ask you about your brother."

Zhao Min'er couldn't help being taken aback: "Then who do you want to ask?"

Zhao Ran said: "What I want to ask is, did Xiuying really ask you to ask your brother to turn the house down that day?"

Zhao Min'er's mouth trembled slightly and said, "Why...why do you ask such a question?"

Zhao Ran said: "Because I found a strange thing when I asked Ada just now. I asked about Agui, but...his eyes were looking at you. I suddenly had an idea that Agui would regularly send I vacated my upside-down house for Xiuying. Xiuying met someone there. After a long time, Ah Tianran would feel that something was wrong, so he told you quietly. So that day, it was not Xiuying at all. You took the initiative to ask your brother to go, but you deliberately lured your brother away. The purpose, of course, was to expose Xiuying's true colors, so that he would stop thinking about marrying Xiuying. This makes sense. Why does your brother At that time, he would run in the direction of the gate, because he was not let in by Xiuying at all, but through the door quietly left for him by Ah Da, so he would subconsciously run in the direction he came in."

Zhao Min'er lowered her head, her five nails gripped the table so deeply that they left scratches, she was trembling all over, and a painful sob came out of her throat.

Zhao Ran said: "You have been saying that Xiuying lured your brother away, so you hate her in every possible way, but in fact, you hate yourself because you lured your brother away, right? Why don't you say truth."

Zhao Min'er raised her head slowly and said, her eye circles are very red, maybe because she has shed too many tears in the past three years, but now there are no tears in her eye sockets, but her face is slightly distorted and said: "Did you say that?" Wrong, I harmed my brother, even if I told the truth at the time, no one would believe me, instead they would say that I was wrong. But what does this matter have to do with Xiuying and the others framing my brother?"

Clearly said: "There is a fundamental connection."

Zhao Min'er's eyes showed confusion, but she clearly said: "You go, call Xiuying."

Yang Xueshi waited for her to leave before asking: "What kind of connection is it?"

Zhao Ran thoughtfully said: "It means that the rape case is true."

Before Yang Xueshi could ask a second sentence, Xiuying walked in with her head down, walked in with small steps, first squatted down and saluted, then sat down silently, raised her hand to pour herself a cup of tea, and slowly After savoring for a while without opening her mouth, Xiuying finally raised her head and said, "I know your lord and the old lady have been doubting my words?"

"No, I don't doubt your words." Zhao Ran said, "You were indeed hurt."

Xiuying seemed to be relieved, picked up the handkerchief and began to cry.

Zhao Ran continued: "Actually, the person you were waiting for that night should be Zhao Yingwen, right? Every Lunar New Year's Day, Mr. Accountant will come to the fishing village to reconcile accounts with the patriarch. The place where he lives is the east wing separated by a wall from the sedan chair courtyard. So you bought Ah Gui to let him vacate the inverted house at this time, so that you can date Zhao Yingwen, and your mother Wu also knows this. That's why there is a foothold under the opposite courtyard wall The stone is covered with blue mud. I have been thinking about moving it for some time, but who would move there? What is there to peek at in a lower courtyard where sedan chairs are placed? Of course, that stone is not peeping, it was originally used to Fragrant."

Xiuying clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't understand what the old lady means. Although I have lost my innocence, the relationship between me and the accountant is innocent. The old lady has no evidence and no evidence." But don’t blame people.”

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "This matter is not important anymore. Anyway, since you lost your virginity, this man has also cut off contact with you. In the end, you will always be happy in vain."

Xiuying twisted the handkerchief into a ball: "So the old lady called me here just to see my jokes?"

"I'm not here to see your jokes, but to remind you, is there anyone in the side hall who gives you advice after the fact? This person may also be one of your admirers, so you believe him. " Zhao Ran approached her and said, "But that person is the one who raped you, and it is this person who made you sue Zhao Jing, who is he?"

Xiuying's body trembled, her eyes flickered for a while before she said calmly: "Except for Zhao Jing, I really can't think of anyone else who has a heart for me."

Zhaoran looked at him for a while, then leaned back: "Go, call your mother."

Xiuying stood up, then knelt down and bowed, walked to the door, and said suddenly: "You are the most direct person who can testify against him, if you don't say it now, there is a good chance you won't have the chance to say it again."

"When I think about it, I will tell the old lady immediately." Xiuying still said plainly.

When he left, Yang Xueshi said slightly annoyed, "Why didn't you ask."

Zhao Ran took a sip of tea and said, "Because this person is not difficult to guess at all, I already know who he is."

The author has something to say:

The leaf card in the last chapter is explained as follows, I’m afraid you won’t see me and put it down here:

The leaf card game is actually a group of language tests similar to psychological tests. Let me give you a simple example.

Imagine that you have murdered someone in a room, you have blood on your hands, you hastily wiped the blood on the curtains, and fled.

When the police found you, a psychologist said let's do a simple set of tests: "I'm going to name a few nouns, please answer me with another noun immediately."

The noun group the psychologist came up with was room, door, flowerpot, sofa, and curtain.

You use house to house, door to window, pot to plant, sofa to mattress, but when curtains are mentioned, your first reaction will not be the window, but blood, understand?

The same is true for the game of Zhaoran Leaf. He said at the beginning that we have a character matching game. This seemingly unique pairing actually means that different people will have different choices, just like the language test game above.

When Zhao Tianci took the cards in his hand, Zhao Ran said that you are very similar to Wu Yong, right? Barabara. characters.You will say, how do I look like me, but when you see the character card in your hand, you will naturally enter this thinking logic.

Do I resemble this character?and who am I like?This is the suggestion of substitution, and it is also a kind of reminder to the subconscious mind.

Then the matching game begins.

Zhao Tianci used the red-haired ghost to match the handsome man, the thunderbolt to match the featherless arrow, and finally played Wu Yong (useless). With a strong desire in the heart, a strong desire-featherless arrow (the arrow shot not only has the shaft, but even the feathers on it are not inserted), blood is beautiful, and the arrow is shot with a strong desire, and finally throw away the useless card.

That's why it is obvious that he has murderous intentions.

When these desires were expressed in the matching game, Zhao Tianci immediately used the wings of the sky to cross the river dragon, and the prodigal son to the flower monk. Self-expression is at its peak.

He used Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn with the highest force value among the [-] generals, to match the most beautiful little Li Guanghuarong among the [-] generals.

So Zhaoran would say that he actually compares himself to Lu Junyi in his heart.

This is a whole set of psychological reaction process.

There are forty leaf cards in total, and the author only described a relevant part of them. Can everyone understand now?

I have some cognitive errors, and I will pay attention to writing in a simpler way later.
