The man they found on the side of the road is the same sort of liar as her, only less good at it. Maybe it's that his guard is down, now that he believes there are no eyes on him, but she doesn't think so — he's too mean to be a good actor, this one, too much of a bully to hide for very long. More likely it's just plain rotten luck, that daozhang can't see the triumph on his face when he finds a new way to be cruel.

She keeps her own face blank, and starts making plans.
