Tongyun leaned weakly against the wall and stayed for a long time, as if she was gathering the courage to say this. Seeing Tonghui's forehead that had already hit bloodstains, she still expressed her grievances, hoping that this would relieve Tonghui and accept some helpless things.

She said slowly, "My parents died of illness when I was very young. I was raised by my aunt. Influenced by my aunt's monk, I later became a monk. She was the host of Qingfeng Temple. She was afraid that others would gossip about her, so she did not let me become a monk in Qingfeng Temple, but arranged for me to become a monk in Baihe Temple. I often went to Qingfeng Temple to see her. The last time, during the Chinese New Year, I went to see her, just to treat her to New Year. But after arriving, my aunt was very busy because Prince Lu of Shu came to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings in the temple. My aunt was the host and had to stay with her. That morning, it was almost dawn, and I really wanted to see my aunt, thinking that the aunt should be sleeping early in the morning and would not have any errands, so I went there secretly, but I didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, Tongyun's body trembled gently. Tonghui vaguely felt that something bad would happen later, and what happened next must be something that caused her to undergo drastic changes in her life. She didn't interrupt and listened quietly.

After a while, Tongyun continued: "My aunt is the host of the nunnery, and there is a separate courtyard. The gate of the courtyard is bolted from the inside. My aunt treats me very well, and we are like mother and daughter and sisters. We used to joke together. After we came, my aunt was busy all the time and didn't talk to my aunt much. I wanted to see her and I wanted to tease her. There is a locust tree outside the wall of this courtyard. You can climb up the tree to reach the wall. Walking along the wall for a while, it is a thatched cottage. The thatched cottage is only half the height of the wall. You can jump to the roof of the cottage first, and then jump into the yard. I went into the yard like this. I grew up with my aunt and knew her habits. She often had something to go out, but she didn't want people to know, so I depended on it.

The window paper near the third window on the left side of the door is not stuck to the window bolt. After it is opened, you can just reach in and unplug the window bolt. This way you can latch the door from inside, then go out from the window and then latch the window bolt. You won’t know if you are not careful, and you think she is sleeping in the room. I found the window that she used to not stick to the window paper. I took off the window bolt and opened the window. - Because it was very cold, I deliberately put my hand in the snow for a while and it was cold. I just imagined that I was teasing my aunt as if I was a child. Put my cold hands into her bed to ice her. This is what we like to do when we were young, but when I opened the window, I was stunned..."

"What did you see?"

"I saw... on the ground under my aunt's Zen bed, there was a pair of... men's boots... and a... golden... men's... folding fan..."

After saying this, Tongyun was almost exhausted.

Tonghui was stunned for a while before stammering, "You..., your aunt..., there is a man on her bed...? She..., she is stealing someone..."

Tongyun didn't want to make any statement about this conclusion. She just leaned against the wall weakly and closed her eyes tightly. After a while, she continued, "I was frightened, so I turned around and ran to the gate of the yard, opened the gate and ran out, and ran back to my residence. Because the genius had just started to brighten up and hadn't gotten up, so there was no one in the temple. No one saw me. I ran back into the house, my heart was pounding, I..., I don't know what to do... I thought for a long time. I immediately packed up my package and saw a young junior sister cleaning the yard. I told her that I was back and asked her to tell my aunt. Then I left. As soon as I left, my aunt chased me out and pulled me to ask me why.

I was so anxious to leave? I stayed for a few more days, but I didn't agree. When she saw that I had something to do, she asked me, but I didn't say anything. She had no choice but to say that she sent me out of the city. We walked all the way outside the city. When she saw that I looked bad, she kept asking me what was wrong? What happened? I didn't say anything, and I didn't say a word. After more than ten miles, she said that she was going back, the princess wanted to recite scriptures, and she wanted to accompany me. She told me to be careful on the way. In this way, I returned to the county town alone. After three days, I heard that my aunt was killed. Just outside Yizhou City. It should have been that day when she sent me out of the city. But the people in the yamen suspected that I killed my aunt and caught me, and I admitted it..."

Tonghui widened her eyes: "Are you sick? You obviously didn't do it, but you have to admit that you are not covering up the murderer..." As soon as she said this, Tonghui felt enlightened and looked at Tongyun: "You..., do you know who the murderer is?"

Tongyun shook his head.

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

Tongyun lowered his eyes darkly and said slowly: "Although I don't know who it is, I have a premonition that the man in my aunt's Zen room should be the one who killed her! At least it has something to do with what I saw. If this is true, if he is caught, he will definitely tell me what he is about. My aunt raised me since childhood and would be like my biological mother. How can I let her reputation be defiled?"

Tonghui was shocked. In order to preserve her aunt's reputation, this little nun was willing to take the blame herself, so as not to be caught by her suspicious aunt's adulterer, confessing to an affair with her aunt, thus destroying her reputation. For this reason, she even sacrificed her life!

Tonghui was shocked and her head was still a little too far from turning. She thought for a while and said, "What if you guessed wrong and the murderer who killed your aunt was not the man on your aunt's bed at all?"

Tongyun shook his head again: "It's not wrong. My aunt is a monk, she has no disputes with things, and has never had any enemies. She has no wealth. A small Qingfeng Temple does not have much oil and water, and no one will kill her life for this position. So after thinking about it, she just kills her love. Since it is a love kill, as long as it is revealed, my aunt's reputation will be defiled. I..., I can't watch such a thing happen. I would rather die than be ridiculed and insulted by my aunt! - I will tell you this matter, just let you know that there are greater injustice, or accept your fate. This matter is related to my aunt's reputation, and you cannot reveal it no matter what! OK?"

"Okay!" Tonghui was moved. She didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, she still whispered: "Junior sister, you are so wronged by yourself!"

"It's okay, as long as I can maintain my aunt's reputation, why don't I die..."

After talking about this, Tongyun seemed to be exhausted, leaning against the wall and stops talking.

Tonghui knew about Tongyun's great injustice, and her original depression and sadness were indeed much better. She endured such a great injustice. She was just a little more severe injustice. After all, she committed the crime of rape first. Compared with the injustice of others, this matter was simply not worth mentioning.

Tonghui sat in the prison ground in frustration. After a while, he heard the clanging sound of the iron gate, several prisoners came in and shouted: "Tonghui, come out! Arrest!"

Tonghui knew that the time for the re-sentence of his sentence was finally coming. This was the decision of the King of Shu and no one could overturn it. Therefore, this was his final destiny.

She followed the prisoner out dejectedly and arrived at a class room where there was a person sitting, but it was the clerk who was the prisoner, namely the Xiao Family Ding.

Xiao Jiading looked at her and said coldly: "Did you understand your case?"

If it were before, Tonghui would have knelt down and shouted for injustice, but before, she had almost vented the resentment and pain in her heart. She had calmed down and heard Tongyun's injustice, and knew that there were more people in this world who were wronged, not only her, let alone her, but she was not wronged, but the punishment was just a little too heavy. Moreover, since this case was decided by the Prince of Shu to increase the punishment, it would be useless to plead or not. Therefore, Tonghui just lowered her head and said simply: "I am guilty, but I hope the yamen can watch my family and not exile me..."

Speaking of this, her words were still choked and her eyes were wet.

Xiao Jiading said: "It's okay not to exile you, but you have to show your meritorious service. If you can make meritorious service, the Prince of Shu will consider not increasing the punishment, and may even consider giving you a lighter or exempting you from punishment. Of course, it depends on the situation of meritorious service."

Make meritorious service?

Tonghui was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect such a problem now and said, "I..., I have nothing to make contributions..."

Xiao Jiading lowered his voice and said, "Just tell me what Tongyun told you just now, even if you have made a contribution!"

It turns out that the so-called cleaning of the cell is just an excuse to transfer Tongyun to Tonghui's cell. Xiao Jiading deliberately said that the Prince of Shu wanted to sentence Tonghui to abortion, with the purpose of making her feel broken and shouting for injustice, which aroused the feelings of Tongyun who was truly injustice. Both of them were sisters from the same temple. Xiao Jiading did not tell Tonghui the purpose, so that her performance was very real, which aroused Tongyun's sympathy and told her her grievances so that she could face reality.

In order to avoid Tongyun being vigilant, Xiao Jiading did not arrange for any eye-to-ear and ear to listen secretly, but just pay attention to their movements through the observation window outside the prison gate. The observation window is far away from their cell, and can only see the movements of people, and cannot hear the sounds. When the two of them were secretly observing each other, Xiao Jiading really hoped that they were talking about what they wanted to know. So they probably finished speaking, and then interrogated Tonghui. From Tonghui's reaction, Xiao Jiading felt that Tonghui should have known some inside information.

However, Tonghui hesitated for a moment and still lowered her head and said nothing.
