Tongyun leaned weakly against the wall and stayed for a long time, as if he was gathering the courage to speak out. Seeing Tonghui's forehead that had been bloodied, she still expressed her grievances, hoping that this would make Tonghui feel relieved and accept some helpless things.

"My parents died of illness when I was very young, and I was raised by my aunt. Influenced by my aunt's ordination, I later became a monk as well. She was the presiding officer of Qingfuan, and she was afraid that others would gossip about her, so she didn't let me become a monk at Qingfuan, but arranged for me to become a monk at Hakuzuru Temple. I often go to Seifu-an to see her. The last time, during the Chinese New Year, I went to see her, and I regarded it as a New Year's greeting to her. But after arriving, my aunt was very busy, because Princess Lu of the prince of Shu came to the temple to offer incense, and chanted scriptures and prayed in the temple, and my aunt was the presiding officer and had to accompany her all the time. That morning, it was almost dawn, and I really wanted to see my aunt, thinking that my aunt should be sleeping early in the morning and would not have any errands, so I went secretly, and I didn't think ......"

Speaking of this, Tong Yun's body trembled slightly, and Tong Hui faintly felt that something bad would happen in the future, and what happened later must be something that would make her life drastic change. Didn't interject, listened quietly.

After a while, Tong Yuncai continued: "My aunt is the presiding officer of the nunnery, and there is a separate small courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was bolted from the inside. My aunt treated me very well, and we were like mother and daughter and sisters. We used to joke a lot together. After coming, my aunt has been busy, so I didn't talk to my aunt much, I want to see her, and I want to tease her, there is a locust tree outside the wall of this courtyard, you can go up to the wall by climbing the tree, and along the wall is a thatched house, which is only half as high as the wall. Jump to the roof of the thatched house, and then you can jump into the yard. So I went into the courtyard. I grew up with my aunt, and I knew her habit of saying that she often had something to do, and she didn't want people to know about it, so she didn't stick the window paper near the third window on the left side of the door, and when she opened it, she could reach in and pull it out or tie it up. In this way, you can latch the door from the inside, and then go out of the window and bolt the window again, and if you are not careful, you will not know the way, and you will think that she is sleeping in the house. I found the window where she was used to not sticking dead window paper. Removed the bolt and opened the window. - Because it was very cold, I deliberately put my hands in the snow and froze for a while, it was cold, I just imagined it as when I was a child. Teasing my aunt, I put my cold hand under her bed and froze her. It's something we loved to do when we were kids. But. When I opened the window, I was stunned......"

"What do you see?"

"I saw ...... on the ground under my aunt's meditation bed, there was a pair of ...... The man's boots are ......, and there is a ...... Kim Akira's ...... Men's ...... Folding fan ......"

After saying this, Tongyun almost collapsed.

Tonghui was dumbfounded. After a while, he stammered: "You ......, your aunt is ......, and she has a ...... on the bed." Is there a man ......? She'......, she's stealing ......? ”

Tongyun did not want to make any representations about this conclusion. She leaned against the wall weakly, closed her eyes tightly for a while, and then continued: "I was frightened, turned around and ran to the courtyard gate, opened the courtyard door and ran out, and ran all the way back to my residence. Because the genius was starting to lighten, I had barely gotten out of bed, so there was no one in the nunnery, and no one saw me. I ran back into the house, my heart pounding, I ......, I didn't know what to do to ....... After thinking about it for a long time, I immediately packed up my package and came out to see a little sister cleaning the yard, so I told her that I was going back and asked her to tell my aunt. And then I was gone. As soon as I left the nunnery, my aunt chased me out, pulled me and asked me why I was in such a hurry to leave? Stay me for a few more days, I didn't promise. When she saw that I had something on her mind, she asked me, but I didn't say anything. She had no choice, so she said she would send me out of town. We went all the way out of the city, and when she saw that I had a bad face, she kept asking me what was wrong? What's going on? I didn't speak, didn't say a word. After sending more than ten miles, she said that she was going back, and the princess still had to chant sutras, and she wanted to accompany her. Let me be careful on my own road. In this way, I returned to the county seat alone. Three days later, I heard that my aunt had been killed. Just outside the city of Yizhou. I think someone killed me that day after she dropped me off the city. However, the people in the yamen suspected that I had killed my aunt and arrested me, so I confessed......"

Tonghui's eyes widened: "Are you sick?" It's clear that you didn't do it, but you have to admit it, aren't you harboring the murderer......? As soon as he said this, Tonghui realized something, and looked at Tongyun: "You ......, who is the murderer?" ”

Tongyun shook his head.

"Then why do you want to help the murderer take the blame?"

Tongyun lowered his eyes gloomily and said slowly: "Although I don't know who Lu Dao is, I have a hunch that the one who killed my aunt should be the man in my aunt's meditation room!" At least it has something to do with what I saw, and if that's the case, if he catches him, he'll tell me about my aunt. My aunt raised me from a young age, just like my own mother. How can I tarnish her reputation? ”

Tong Hui was stunned, this little nun, in order to protect her aunt's reputation, was willing to take the blame herself, lest her suspected aunt's adulterer be caught and confess to her adultery, thus ruining her aunt's reputation. For this, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her own life!

Tonghui was stunned, his head still couldn't turn a little, he thought about it, and said, "If you guess wrong, the murderer of your aunt is not the man in your aunt's bed at all, then what should you do?" ”

Tongyun shook his head again: "It won't be wrong." My aunt was a monk, she had no quarrel with anything, and she never had any enemies. She doesn't have any family wealth, and a small Qingfeng Nunnery doesn't have much oil and water, and no one will kill her for this position. So, when you think about it, it's just love. Since it was a love killing, as long as it was revealed, my aunt's reputation would be tarnished. I ......, I can't watch this happen, I'd rather die than my aunt be laughed at and abused! - I'll tell you about this, just to let you know that there are greater grievances in the Dao, and it's better to accept your fate. My aunt's reputation is at stake, and you can't leak it out no matter what! All right? ”

"Good!" Tonghui was moved in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but after thinking about it, he still said in a low voice: "Senior sister, you are like this, you are so wronged by yourself!" ”

"It's okay, as long as I can maintain my aunt's reputation, why ...... if I die"

After saying this, Tongyun seemed to be about to collapse, leaned on the wall, and stopped talking.

Tonghui Zhilu said Tongyun's great injustice, the original depression and sadness in her heart really got a lot better, she endured such a big wrong, she just sentenced a little heavier, in the final analysis, she committed adultery first, compared with other people's grievances, her own matter is simply not worth mentioning.

Thonge sat in frustration on the prison floor. After a while, I heard the sound of the iron gate, and a few jailers came in, and said loudly: "Tonghui, come out!" Arraigned! ”

Tonghui knew that the time to change his sentence to exile was finally coming, this was the decision of the King of Shu, and no one could overturn it. Therefore, this is the fate of my own worst.

She followed the jailer out dejectedly and arrived at a class room, where a person was sitting, but it was the scribe who recorded the prisoner, that is, Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading looked at her and said coldly: "Have you figured out your case?" ”

If it was before, Tonghui would definitely immediately kneel down and shout that she was wronged, but she had almost vented the pain and fear of resentment in her heart before, and she had calmed down, and listened to Tongyun's grievances, knowing that there were more wronged people in this world, and she was not alone, not to mention that she was not wronged, but the punishment was too heavy. Moreover, since this case was set by the prince of Shu to increase the punishment, it is useless to plead for mercy or not. Therefore, Tonghui just lowered his head and said simply: "I am guilty, but I hope that the yamen can watch my family and not exile me......"

At this point, her words were choked up. The eye circles are also moist.

Xiao Jiading said: "It's okay not to exile you, but you have to have meritorious service, if you can make meritorious service, the prince of Shu will consider not increasing the punishment, and may even consider lightening or exempting you." Of course, that depends on the meritorious service. ”

Make contributions?

Tonghui was stunned for a moment, she didn't think of such a question now, and said, "I ......, I don't have anything to make meritorious contributions......

Xiao Jiading lowered his voice and said, "As long as you tell what Tongyun told you just now, you will be considered meritorious!" ”

It turned out that the so-called cleaning of the cell was nothing more than an excuse to transfer Tongyun to Tonghui's cell. And Xiao Jiading deliberately said that the prince of Shu was going to sentence Tonghui to exile, the purpose was to make her feel broken and shout that she was wronged, so as to arouse the emotion of Tongyun, who was really wronged. And both of them are sisters in the same temple, Xiao Jiading did not tell Tonghui the purpose, and her performance was very real, which aroused Tongyun's sympathy and told her her grievances, so that she could face the reality.

In order to avoid any vigilance on the part of Tongyun, Xiao Jiading did not arrange any ears and eyes to eavesdrop in secret, but only watched their movements through the observation window outside the door of the prison. The observation window was far away from their cells, and they could only see people's movements, not hear them. After secretly observing the two talking together, Xiao Jiading hoped that what they said was what they wanted to know. So it is estimated that after they finished speaking, they interrogated Tonghui again, and from Tonghui's reaction, Xiao Jiading had a feeling that Tonghui should have known some inside information.

However, Tonghui hesitated for a moment, but still bowed his head and remained silent. (To be continued......)
