Chapter 32: Painted Skin

Li An smiled weakly.

What are you kidding, don't tell the second aunt, then how can you please your mother-in-law?

Second uncle, I am here for your good, I will definitely be tempted by countless temptations when I become a hundred households, and the second aunt will often spur you to prevent you from expanding.

"By the way, second uncle, what is this? Have you seen it? ”

In order to prevent the second uncle from nagging, Li Ang diverted the topic and pointed to the painting scroll that was burned to ashes.

The second uncle, who was a little weak-hearted, didn't want to talk more about what had just happened, coughed dryly, stepped forward and touched the ashes.

As the ashes cracked and flew apart between his fingers, the second uncle's brows gradually wrinkled.

"Old Yun, come over and take a look, is it something on the third page of the announcement?"

After thinking about it for a while, the second uncle, who was a little uncertain, shouted to try out the hundred households and asked him to confirm it.

was reminiscing about the taste just now, when he heard Du Yuan's greeting, he coughed dryly, concealed his embarrassment, walked forward and grabbed a handful of ashes and touched it.

"This feels ......"

With the dust in hand, the trial Baihu raised his eyebrows, recalled the content of the notice, and nodded in confirmation.

"That's right, it's a human skin scroll!"

"It's a shame that we let go of a big fish."

After receiving the confirmation, the second uncle sighed with some regret.

Try 100 households and shake their heads again and again.

Ang Lee, who was resting on a chair, was confused when he listened to the dumb riddles played by the two.

"If it's convenient, can you tell me about it? What is this? ”

"Lao Yun, do you search again to see if there is anything missing?"

The second uncle got up and patted the ashes on his hands, gave an order to try a hundred households, walked to Li An's side and helped him up, and said as he walked out: "Human skin painting scrolls is a means for that force to control people's hearts. ”

"According to the information we've got, this paper is made of human skin."

"Human skin!"

Ang Lee exclaimed in surprise and glanced back at the ashes on the ground.

Du Yuan nodded.

"That's right, it's human skin, and they're all beautiful and glamorous women, and the production methods are very cruel."

"The painting paper is made of human bones, and what is painted on each scroll is the original owner, and the pigment used is also taken from the original owner, and it must be taken alive."

"In other words, the original owner cannot die until the scroll is finished, and once the original owner dies in the process of making it, then the scroll is useless."

Li An couldn't help but rub his teeth.

It's not fucking cruel.

Think about how much physical and psychological stimulation people will be when they peel off their skin when they are alive and watch their skin and bones being made into a scroll.

Walking out of the secret room, the second uncle helped Li An find a chair to sit down, touched a pot of cold water from the table, poured a cup for each of them, and continued: "After the painting is completed, the painter will use a special method to take out the soul of the original owner, seal it in the painting scroll in the way of painting, and then control it with special means. ”

"When the painting is cast, they will give it to the person they want to give, and then let the woman in the painting copulate, fascinate her spirit, and achieve the purpose of control."

Speaking of copulation, the second uncle remembered the embarrassment just now, and hurriedly took a sip of tea.

After listening to the second uncle's explanation, Li An pondered for a while and asked the doubts in his heart.

"The people they want to control are probably big shots, and those big people don't lack women, and there is no shortage of capable people around them, how can they be easily controlled?"

Hearing this question, Du Yuan chuckled.

"They don't lack women, but men like to play with something new."

"As for the talented people around those big shots, they don't care."

"In their way, they just cast a wide net to catch more fish, as long as one or two are successful, it is not a loss."

"As long as you control a big person, what's the pity of sacrificing a batch of painting scrolls, there are many beautiful women in the world, as long as they want, they can have as much as they want."

What the second uncle said made Li An sigh.

He, Li An, is not a good person, but he can't torture a weak woman like this.

In his previous life, Ang Lee had also heard the story of the ancient magnates who did not take human life seriously.

At that time, Ang Lee only sighed, the cruelty of feudal society, and then it was gone.

After all, I haven't experienced it myself, and my inner feelings are not deep.

As the saying goes, if you don't cut yourself with a knife, you will never experience that pain.

Now, I have been traveling through this world for a while, and I have really experienced the life of a feudal society.

Li An couldn't help but rejoice that he was crossing a family with an identity, and if he crossed the identity of ordinary people, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he could live to old age and die.

"Lord Baihu, Fucheng has come to order."

Just when Li An lamented the hard life of the ancient people, a member of the Heavenly Spirit Guard ran in quickly.

"What order?"

Du Yuan, who was thinking about how to convince Li An not to make a small report to his daughter-in-law, frowned suddenly when he heard Fucheng's order.

That Lord Qianhu, but he didn't deal with his own family, Du Yuan was very vigilant about the orders given by the other party, in case he accidentally fell victim to the other party's way.

"Lord Qianhu orders you to send someone to arrest the three people of Liu County, Lingxian County, and Lieutenant County, cooperate with the new county order, and complete the case of the scholar within ten days, otherwise they will be severely punished."

The members of the Heavenly Spirit Guard handed the order to Du Yuan and reported the contents of it.

Get... Liu County ordered the three of them to spend the money in vain, and in the end, they still couldn't keep their official positions, and maybe they would lose their heads.

Ang Li, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but sigh.

A few days ago, Liu County ordered the three people of the county to send 10,000 taels of silver to 100 households, and Li An heard the second uncle talk about it.

According to the second uncle, this money is the money for three people to buy their lives.

But looking at the situation now, the money is spent in vain.

"Okay, I know, let Mr. Zhang bring someone over, remember to clean up when you raid the house, the silver you asked us to pay is not enough."

After reading the order, the second uncle took out the official seal and stamped it, and after confirming the order, he asked the members of the Heavenly Spirit Guard to notify a general flag to arrest people.

"Second uncle, then I'll go back too, the new county order is coming, I must gather everyone to meet, I'm too late, I'm hated, I have to wear small shoes."

The matter of the Cui family has come to an end for the time being, oil and water are not easy to fish, and Li An does not plan to stay here longer, so he said hello to Du Yuan, preparing to return to the county office and wait for the summons of the new county order.

"That's okay, you go back first, by the way, what I told you just now, don't forget, you can't tell your second aunt about today's events, otherwise you will be bullied in the future, don't blame me for not giving you a head."

Li An, who walked out of the door, waved his hand without looking back, picked up Zhang Wen, who was still standing at the door, and left the Cui family's house.

went out to take Xiao Wu, who was blocked outside, and the three of them hurried to the county office.
