Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Hu Bianbu was completely unable to move. He could only watch as the vines dragged him back into the depths of the prison corridor.

Everyone in the cell, whether they were being drugged or not, stopped and stared at this miraculous scene with their mouths wide open.

At this moment, one of the prisoners suddenly started screaming.

He pointed at Daoyi and said, "Are you the young Taoist priest who was captured three years ago, Miss Daoyi?"

Dao Yi:? ? ?

What's going on? Does she have acquaintances in prison?

When Dao turned her head to look, her eyes suddenly widened.

What a coincidence, the cell where this man was imprisoned was the Guimo room where she had lived before.

Not only that, this person was the prisoner who was in the next room, eating steamed buns and watching the fun.

She looked at the person who was speaking in confusion. No, big brother, you are only guilty of a petty theft and should be imprisoned for a year at most. How come three years have passed and I have even visited the capital, but you are still in jail?

Daoyi thought so and asked the same question.

The eldest prisoner shut his mouth in silence.

As both were 'guests' during the last month of the Gui Dynasty, the two of them stared at each other across a door.

"Magister Liu, she is a fugitive criminal!" Hu Zhubu jumped out at this time and looked at Daoyi with resentment. Since he couldn't run away, he would never let the other party have an easy time.

County Magistrate Liu did not know Yi's identity, but the prisoners in the jail knew her, and she sneaked into the jail in the middle of the night, so she was definitely not a normal good person.

He immediately ordered the bad guys, "Catch this little thief who sneaked into the prison."

Half of the bad guys were not the same ones as before. They were the ones who captured Daoyi. The other bad guys had never seen her before, so when they heard Magistrate Liu's order, they didn't care about the strange method she used to capture Master Hu just now, and they all rushed forward.

Daoyi threw Hu Zhubu to the prisoner's door and said, "Keep an eye on him!"

After saying that, she rushed into the crowd, and in a short while, all of them had their acupoints pressed by her.

The little fat man spread his wings on her shoulders, snorted coldly, raised his head high, and glanced at the bad guy who was standing stiffly in place.

Apart from the prisoners in jail, the only one who could move now was County Magistrate Liu.

County Magistrate Liu's palms were covered in cold sweat. He kept swallowing and barely found his voice.

"I think you are very capable, but I don't know why you come to my Puyang County Office so late at night?" County Magistrate Liu said, "I hope you will show mercy. If there is anything, I will take full responsibility. Please don't hurt these servants."

Seeing County Magistrate Liu act like this, I knew there must be something behind this drug trial, and this is the reason.

Dao kept pointing at Hu Zhubu, "I came here for him."

County Magistrate Liu was unsure of her intentions. "Master Hu has been the county magistrate for several years and has not made any major mistakes. If you have any grudges against her, why don't you speak out? The county will give you justice."

As soon as Dao smiled, she felt something was wrong.

Judging from his appearance, County Magistrate Liu is not a bad person, but he is easily deceived.

The fact that Hu Zhubu was able to return to the county government and was given an important position proves that he is a misleading person.

Thinking of this, Daoyi asked the other party, "County Magistrate Liu should not have forgotten how you came to Puyang."

County Magistrate Liu nodded, "Of course."

Daoyi asked again: "Does County Magistrate Liu know whether this Chief Clerk Hu is the Chief Clerk of the previous County Magistrate Liu?" County Magistrate Liu nodded again: "When Chief Clerk Hu came to the county magistrate's post, he informed the county."

He also explained on behalf of Hu Zhubu, "The mistakes made by the previous Magistrate Liu had little to do with him, otherwise why would the court let him go."

Daoyi was so angry that he laughed, "Is there a possibility that he ran away at that time, but the people in the court didn't find him?"

County Magistrate Liu was shocked. "What did he do wrong?"

Daoyi did not respond to him immediately, but walked towards Hu Zhubu and stood in front of him.

She then said, "We thought you were just being manipulated by County Magistrate Liu. For this reason, the court did not make a big effort to arrest you. It was not until today that we discovered that you were the one behind it. No wonder County Magistrate Liu could not find anything more useful."

Hu Zhubu snorted, "We can't beat you, so naturally you can say whatever you want."

Daoyi snorted lightly, "Is that so."

"At that time, Wang Siqing followed a rumor and found Puyang, but lost the clue there. When County Magistrate Liu was arrested and brought to the capital, he confessed all the evil deeds that were enough to kill him ten times, but he did not mention the rumor at all."

"You are the one who spread the rumors."

Hu Zhubu's expression changed again and again, and he said stubbornly: "What rumors are there? I haven't heard of them at all."

Daoyi didn't think that he could pry open his mouth immediately. He couldn't escape today anyway, and there were more important things to do right now.

"The rumor was spread to the imperial city through the folklore collectors. The saint sent Wang Siqing to investigate. After many twists and turns, it was finally traced back to Zhou Fang through Xiru and He Tian. Zhou Fang and his men were related to the Five Characters Tribe."

"In other words, Hu Xin, you are from the Five Characters Division!"

Hu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly, but he quickly came back to his senses, "The young lady is very capable, I admit that I am not as good as her, but the rumors you mentioned, the Five Characters Department, have nothing to do with me. If you want to accuse me, you can always find a pretext."

"My dear, Master Hu is right. He was the one who spread the rumors you mentioned, but they are just your guesses and cannot be counted."

At this moment, Daoyi and Hu Xin looked at him at the same time. They both had the same idea. He was really easy to deceive.

Next, he would make use of Magistrate Liu to do something, and Daoyi told himself that he must not break someone's head.

Daoyi held down his hand, and said, "Since County Magistrate Liu thinks so, I will ask you something."

She walked between Hu Xin and County Magistrate Liu, "I don't have time to investigate the distant events right now, so I'll just ask you about the recent events. Was it his idea to arrest the people with plague in Puyang County and test the medicine on the prisoners in the jail?"

County Magistrate Liu felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. He had a vague premonition that if he didn't answer this question well, something bad would happen to him.

"Miss Daoyi, I can testify that it was this Hu Zhubu who instigated it!" The prisoner who recognized Daoyi finally found an opportunity and complained before Magistrate Liu could speak. "God can see, I only stole once, and I have been a good person. It's this damn Hu Zhubu!"

The prisoner's eldest brother angrily hit him on the head twice, "I was just walking down the street, and he brought his men back. He said the new county magistrate wanted to re-examine the old case, and all of us who had committed crimes were to be arrested."

At this point, the prisoner was so angry that his teeth were itching. "After being arrested, I realized that it was not a retrial of an old case, but a drug test on us."

He actually started crying as he spoke, and even knelt on the ground, "If it weren't for you, Miss Daoyi, I would have been carried out like the previous groups of people, and burned to ashes!"

Daoyi suddenly looked at Magistrate Liu, "Is this what you consider a good chief clerk?" (End of this chapter)
