Chapter 6 Life is like a play
Wang Xuanzhi: "Tell me what your name is and how you came to Pu County."

"My name is Dao Yi."

"Daoyi?" Wang Xuanzhi's expression suddenly became very strange, and he even took a few more glances at Daoyi.

"No, it's the one from Dao Shengyi."

Dao frantically waved his hands, afraid that the official from the capital might misunderstand something, otherwise he would be in big trouble.Along the way, I met a lot of people who misunderstood his name as a woman, and were almost tricked into selling it off. I can't let this adult know, it's so embarrassing.

"Well, you continue to talk." But I remembered the name in my heart. When I heard the news from Xiaotong yesterday, I only heard him say that the person who was arrested was a little Taoist priest, and I really didn't pay attention to the name.

When Dao saw that Wang Xuanzhi did not show any other signs, this reassured her a lot.

Then she talked about a bunch of place names, all about the places she passed by, the people she met, the directions she asked, the things she did, and the money she gave, etc.Seeing that mouth still has a tendency to speak further.

Wang Xuanzhi hurriedly stopped her, feeling a little headache, "Well, tell me, what are you doing in Pu County?"

"Go to Beijing to find pilgrims for Jiuxiao Temple!" Dao Yi replied with his chest straight.

Wang Xuanzhi: The truth is straightforward, and the reason is unassailable. Pu County is already the closest county to the capital.

"But knowing that there was a flood here, why did you come to Pu County again?" Wang Xuanzhi raised a suspicious point.

Daoyi grinned, showing his dark white teeth, "When I was in Danhan, I thought it was just some big trees that could be planted, but I didn't expect Pu County to be like this, and I didn't see a single living person. I didn't even take a bite of the meal, and I ended up eating in this prison."

Wang Xuanzhi listened for a while, and finally understood, the scene he saw when he came in just now, the feeling of eating and drinking in prison, this person is really happy, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Wang Xuanzhi's eyes fell on a bundle behind Daoyi, presumably because there was nothing valuable in it, County Magistrate Liu didn't ask someone to take it away, which allowed the bundle to be preserved.

Thinking of Xiao Tong's eyesight, there is absolutely no hard object in that bag.

Wang Xuanzhi asked: "The things you said just now are all empty words, do you have anything to prove?"

"Yes, I have something wrong, just wait and I will show it to you!" Dao Yi replied.

She remembered that before she went down the mountain, the experienced master and senior brother told Wan Wan that the pass must be kept well, and after traveling to so many places, she also understood the importance of the pass.

So she put it in the bag and carried it on her body all the time, now that Wang Xuanzhi asked, he immediately turned around and looked for the bag that he hadn't touched for nearly two days.

The bundle was placed on the straw mat by her, and she quickly opened the simple bundle, turning it over and over again, and there was only a change of clothes inside.

Other than that, nothing else.

Daoyi took out the clothes and put them on the straw mat, the top of the bag was empty.There was nothing wrong with it at all, so I took out the clothes just now and shook them again and again, only the clothes were shaken off.

Where did the past go?

Daoyi was dumbfounded, but right now he is already in prison, it can't be worse, don't panic when something happens.

Soon she thought of one thing, if her identity is unknown, it is even more impossible for the Minister of Dali Temple to let her leave easily, so she has to investigate carefully, then there will be a way to go to Beijing, and even the time to ask for directions is not enough. save.

But right now, I can't say clearly that good-looking doesn't necessarily mean a good person.

So she behaved like a bereaved concubine.

In the gloomy prison, Wang Xuanzhi's mood suddenly improved, and he spoke with a lot of ease, "Little Taoist, did you really have something wrong?"

"I have, really. When I was in HD, I still had it when I passed the city gate," Dao Yi said anxiously like ants on a hot pot, his words were a little messy, and suddenly she remembered Like something, he shouted again: "I remembered!"

"Ok?"

"It must have fallen into the river when I was moving this elder brother. I heard a sound at that moment, and thought it was some kind of stone that fell into the river." Dao was annoyed, and turned around to take a look if he knew it.

Although she was gone, Dali Siqing would not let her go, but she became a person with unknown background, and it was not convenient to do things.

As if he had just seen the corpse, Wang Xuanzhi said, "Only you know what you said, and I still have to send someone to check it out, so you can temporarily not convict you, but you have to tell me about this corpse.

By the way, if you behave well, there is no problem in finding out your identity, and I can help you get another pass. "

Daoyi's eyes lit up, very happy, "Really?"

"Hmm." The premise is that you really have no problem.

Regarding this point, Dao Yi didn't panic at all, "My lord, you are really a good person!"

The corner of Wang Xuanzhi's mouth twitched, because of his official position, many people said that he was selfless, cold-blooded, and cruel.If he didn't understand what he was doing, he would suspect that he was a heinous fugitive.

It was the first time he had heard someone praise him as a good person, and it was just a promise to set up an illusory affair.

"I found this big brother in Niujiao Village. You didn't know it. He was floating on the river at that time, and his noodles were swollen like steamed buns, huh." Dao Yi gestured and suddenly got stuck.

Then he turned around, pointed at one of the prisoners who was eating steamed buns, and said, "It's almost his color."

Wang Xuanzhi followed his fingers and looked over, it was a kind of slightly yellowish steamed bun.

Half of the steamed bun in the prisoner's hand was in his mouth, and the other half was in his hand. It couldn't go up or down.He felt that he shouldn't be in prison at this time, and if he had the chance to get out, he would never do anything wrong again.

The other prisoners also seemed to be choked in their throats.

They think this is not a little Taoist who has not experienced much in the world, he is simply a walking devil, okay?

Wang Xuanzhi looked at it very seriously, as if he was thinking about something.

It's just that he stared at the half-naked corpse so bluntly that the other prisoners didn't get angry.The prisoner has only one thought in his heart, please go out and try the case, which prisoner is not tried in court.

This is the only way to think about it. Looking at the way he was convicted just now, he knew that the official was scaring the Taoist priest. If they yelled and ruined the official's business, they would be the ones who were unlucky.

A dead fellow Taoist never dies a fellow prisoner, little Taoist, please bear with me.

Dali Temple Minister, that is an official at the foot of the emperor. If you have no chance to see an official for a lifetime, and you are in a high position at a young age, you must either have a strong backing, or you have strength, or both.

They dare not provoke such people, although they are all prisoners, if they really have the spirit of self-sacrifice, they will not meet each other in this prison.

Then he looked at the little Taoist priest who was talking about the corpse with great interest, and thought to himself that it was not sure whether he would win or lose.

"What else?" Wang Xuanzhi's expression was as usual.

Dao Yi turned the corpse over, pointed to the back of the corpse's head, and said, "I can definitely conclude that this elder brother was not washed away by the sudden flood and then drowned, he died from the back of his neck. This bruise."

"He was beaten to death? Could it be that he was murdered for money?" Wang Xuanzhi asked suspiciously.

Dao shook his head and nodded again, "You can't say that. It was the injury on the back of this man's head that made him unconscious, and he was thrown into the water and couldn't save himself, so he drowned. And he didn't have any traces of robbery left on his body." Traces, you can see that these are also evidence."

Dao Yi found out the pieces of silver that were tightly wrapped in his clothes, which was beyond the level of ordinary people.

Wang Xuanzhi pondered.

After a while, he asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

Dao Yi took it for granted, and why did you have such a stupid expression, "Of course it's because I have examined this elder brother, otherwise why would he be naked."

Dao Yi also felt a little guilty, but fortunately he had examined the corpse in advance, otherwise he would have revealed his secrets when he was asked such a question.Speaking directly of the scene she saw through the memory of the deceased, it is estimated that today is the day of her death, and she will be dealt with in this prison.

That's how it turned out. As for the reason Liu County Magistrate made up for profit, it was somewhat justified. Under such circumstances, most ordinary people would think it was abnormal.

"Why would you want to examine a floating corpse?" Wang Xuanzhi simply squatted at the prison door and asked, after all, no one would think of salvaging a corpse floating in the torrent, with the exception of life.

He even called out to move the corpse to the door. The two of them were separated by a corpse and a prison door. After asking and answering, the nearby prisoners, since both hands fell on the corpse, had already dared not read.

After all, there are no vicious people around Kui Mo, they are also afraid of corpses.

It can't be said that it was the nobleman I met when I went out, or the obsession to see the dead wandering around. Daoyi felt that no one would believe her if she said this, and she might be burned in this prison.

Along the way, I have seen people who are so superstitious and not superstitious.So she had a second thought, and she said it another way.

"At first I just wanted to see how he died, but who knew, I was arrested and brought into the cell." Dao Yi acted innocently and pointed to the corpse on the ground.

Wang Xuanzhi: Looking down, the corpse on the ground is really interesting.

"You will do an autopsy?"

"Hmm." Dao Yi nodded frantically.

"Tell me how you tested."

Wang Xuanzhi casually straightened his clothes, he really wanted to hear what this little Taoist could say.

 Handan and Dan, I wrote it in reverse, otherwise there will only be pinyin.
