Chapter 5 The Royal Capital

The mighty army escorted people in prison uniforms through the streets of the royal capital, with two coffins at the end of the procession.

The people around him came out to watch out of curiosity, asking which high-ranking family had committed a crime and had their whole house ransacked.

"Hey, can you tell which store this is?" The vendor on the side bumped his elbow into the Taoist priest who was watching the fun next to him.

The Taoist priest touched his long beard and observed carefully: "Looking at the faces of these people, they should be from the city on the edge of the west. There happens to be a famous bachelor who retreats there, but this bachelor is not among this ranks.

.”

When the hawker heard this, he knew it was the very famous Academician Yao, and curled his lips, "Then you are mistaken. Your Majesty has always respected and loved Academician Yao so much, how could you let him end up like this? Besides,

You must have been wrong if you said that Academician Yao was not on this trip."

Someone nearby heard this and retorted: "That's right. We all see how much Academician Yao helped the king before. How could the king be willing to punish him? It's a serious crime that has implicated the nine clans."

"That's right, that's right." The onlookers nearby agreed.

Immediately when Eunuch Xu heard these discussions, he was so angry that his eyes were not his eyes and his nose was not his nose. He quickly motioned to the guards following him to record the information of these people and settle accounts with them later.

Eunuch Xu cleared his throat and spoke: "Yao Qingfeng of Lucheng committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, delaying the war flight, causing war in the border town. He committed a heinous crime. In order to give an explanation to the people of the border town, the king reluctantly ordered me to take him back to the capital for trial. Is this right?

It is expected that Yao Qingfeng died by hitting the pillar instead of fighting to the death. This is the truth of the whole matter. I hope that you will not criticize the king too much or chill the king's heart."

When everyone heard this, they stopped making any comments, and Eunuch Xu took the people away with satisfaction.

"Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway." After the army left, the crowd suddenly said.

"But that is the King."

Everyone became silent again.

The man wearing a bamboo hat in the distance was watching all this quietly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Until the last coffin disappeared from sight, the man stood up, lit the yellow paper in his hand, and scattered the ashes in front of the window sill.

At this time, someone in the crowd left quietly and appeared where the man was.

The man handed the less conspicuous pouch on his waist to the other party, "Let's take inventory."

The ordinary person opposite nodded, "Yes."

Only then did the man express his needs, "I want the last body with the coffin intact. It's best not to attract anyone's attention."

The other party replied: "Tomorrow at Yinshi, I will receive the goods in Room 1, Tianzi, of this restaurant."

Then, the ordinary man disappeared from sight.

The man took off the bamboo hat on his head and revealed his true appearance. It was Nan Zizhan who had drugged Miss Yao.

The ordinary man returned to the crowd, followed the crowd's steps out of the city, and then zigzagged to a dilapidated temple.

The monk in the temple saw the visitor and immediately greeted him with surprise, "Little Taoist priest, are you opening a business today?"

The little Taoist priest shook his head, "Today is the task of the organization."

The monk shook his head regretfully: "It's killing again. When will the little Taoist priest return to his true profession?"

The little Taoist priest poured himself a cup of tea and helped the monk start cleaning the temple.

"This time I'm not killing anyone, this time I'm saving a corpse."

The monk was confused.

Ah, this world's hobbies are really unique.

The little Taoist priest finished all the work in his hands and began to prepare the equipment to save people, not to mention corpses, tonight.

How to move a body quietly is indeed a difficult problem.

The little Taoist priest looked at the empty temple and sighed, he had to find a replacement body.

Thinking of this, the little Taoist priest left the temple.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, a group of soldiers came behind him and took away the only remaining old monk in the temple.

At this time, the little Taoist priest was carrying a dead body and using his secret body skills, he changed the body.

Before the little Taoist priest could step out of the prison, he saw a group of soldiers escorting a man into the prison.

The little Taoist priest hurriedly hid in a blind corner and waited for these people to leave, but unexpectedly he heard a familiar voice at this time.

"Oh, don't push, don't push, monk, I will leave on my own."

The little Taoist priest's eyes suddenly opened.

That's the monk who was supposed to be in the temple.

How could it be?

"Don't be wordy. If there wasn't room in the cell, we wouldn't have let you live until tonight. Letting you stay in the cell is already a mercy on our part."

"Hey, isn't it already here? Okay, okay, I understand."

The soldier who led the man into the cell snorted coldly, locked the cell door in three steps and left in two steps.

The little Taoist priest carefully moved to the cell where the monk was.

Looking longingly at the people inside.

"Hey? Little Taoist priest? Why are you here?"

"Why are you looking so sad? Don't you still have a mission? Why don't you hurry up and turn in the mission?"

The old monk looked a little sad at the poor little man in front of him, but he still cheered up and comforted him.

The little Taoist priest was puzzled: "Why did they arrest you?"

The old monk was also a little confused: "They say I am a member of the Yao family, but I have never heard of the Yao family."

The little Taoist priest felt a little depressed. The trouble this morning must have come from his mouth.

"I'll come back to rescue you later."

The old monk grinned and said, "Okay, go ahead."

The little Taoist priest quickly tipped the female body on his back and prepared to speed up the transport of the body.

What the anxious little Taoist priest didn't notice was that the cell was very crowded. He just left for a while, and someone informed the soldiers who came to patrol.

The old monk could no longer save himself.

Of course, due to the dim environment in the cell, no one has noticed that the body has been exchanged yet. Who would have thought that someone would risk their life to exchange a body.

When Tian Fuling woke up, she was on a rickety carriage, and her old acquaintance, the male protagonist, was sitting in the carriage.

Tian Fuling's mood was a little complicated, and she stared at the man in front of her with vigilant eyes, "What did you do?"

The man glanced at her, closed his eyes and began to pretend not to hear.

Tianfuling...

Let her figure it out, she drank the tea poured by Nan Zizhan himself in the room and fell into a coma. Then the man said that she had died of illness without even looking at her.

She remembered clearly that this man directly said that she was dead and that there was no way to save her, but how could she still be alive and ride in the same carriage as the male protagonist?

Could it be...

Tian Fuling carefully probed: "Are you also dead?"

The man opened his eyes and became furious, "Your father used your family heirloom to exchange for your life. Now you are the only one left in the Yao family. Cherish the new life your father has fought for for you."
