The atmosphere became more relaxed. When Shiba looked at it, it was almost time to tell everyone that they were going out to buy vegetables. This time everyone was very busy and no one had time to accompany her. Shiba couldn't help seeing all their worried expressions. Smiled: "It's just to buy a vegetable, how many times have I, I won't get lost."

After finally persuading everyone to let go, she took the vegetable basket and the silver two, and turned left when she left the county government office, and it was the downtown area. There were vendors selling vegetables at a fixed hour every day. In order to have fresh ingredients every day, Shiba will go out at this time every day.

Only this time, she accidentally collided with a person. Eighteen was almost overwhelmed by the powerful recoil, and finally stopped. He was in a panic. The man on the opposite side was dressed up as a young man. Now he saw her and his eyes jerked. Yiliang: "Is it you?"

Eighteen immediately took a step back: "I don't know you."

"How long has it been since you haven't seen me? You don't know me? Even if you don't know me, you should know the master, eh?" The man smiled, his folding fan snapped open, and he was suave. He approached the eighteenth step by step, looked at her appearance carefully, and was once again convinced that this woman was indeed the one he knew. "Look at you now, dressed like a good family, why, did you find a man who you don't know to be the pick-up man?"

Eighteen stared at him cautiously: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Ah yes, of course you don't understand. It's really sad that you don't recognize your old lover after you put on your clothes." As he said, the man stretched out his hand as if to touch the face of Shiba. Eighteen wanted to hide, but couldn't hold the other person. The strength was so strong that the whole person was pushed against the wall. She looked at the other person in panic. The man looked at her face in fascination and sighed, "I thought you were dead after not seeing you for so long. , I will be sad for you for a few days. Do you remember what it was like that day, eh? If you don’t obey, you will be punished. The master has been looking for you too."

"...What is the master looking for me?" Eighteen grabbed the basket in his hand and asked calmly.

The man shrugged: "He hasn't played enough with you yet, but you ran away. You said you should look for it? Hmm... I don't know how the master will reward me if I take you back. Tsk, it's really like trying to break through the iron shoes. It’s a no-brainer at all."

Who is the master in his mouth? Eighteen lowered his head and said: "I will never go back there again, even if you find me useless."

"It's not you who have the final say, beauty. Don't you miss it at all?" The man seemed sorry, "I am the one you should beg for now, what do you think?"

"How do you want me to beg you?"

"Just do what you are best at." The man's eyes were full of lust, "Do you remember those things? You will be punished if you don't obey. You have to behave to survive, understand?"

"Really?" Eighteen smiled at him, and suddenly raised his leg to hit the weakest part of the opponent's legs, "Is that so?"

The man turned pale in pain, bent over to cover important parts, and stared at her ferociously. But Shiba raised a corner of his mouth slightly, kicked him again, grabbed his basket, and ran away.

The man knelt on the ground, for a long while, raised his head and stared at the direction of Shiba's disappearance.

Today's food seems to taste something wrong.

Everyone felt this way. Looking at the eighteen who was sitting on the table sluggishly eating, they didn't understand what was wrong with her. Today's dishes are sweet and salty, and the taste is very strange. But Shiba herself didn't seem to think it was because she sat there eating very seriously and didn't notice the strange smell at all. Everyone glanced at each other, wondering what was going on, didn't they feel good when they went out to buy vegetables in the morning, why did they lose their souls during lunch?

They wanted to ask questions, but when the eighteenth had finished eating, they stood up and left again in despair.

The lord looked deeply at Shiba's back. His sense of smell is very keen, and he can smell something that has never appeared on her body. It is a man-only incense. Has she had contact with a man today?

Could it be that people are being bullied outside?

The scholar gave Xiao Jiu a look, and Xiao Jiu quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and ran after him. Half an hour later, she came back and shook her head to the three of them: "I asked, she said nothing, but I saw her expression its not right."

Next to a big tree outside the county government office, the man who entangled eighteen in the morning stared at the county government gate with cold eyes: "Are you sure she has entered here?"

"Yes, I have inquired about the young girl. The girl was born beautiful. Many people have the impression that she is sure that she is a member of the county government. It is said that she is still the wife of the county magistrate."

"Huh." The man sneered. "It's also interesting that someone rushes to see the broken shoes." Then he looked cold. "Just now you said that the girl lost her memory?"

"That's right, the little one bought the girl's veteran who grabbed the medicine, making sure she doesn't remember anything."

"It's best if it's true, otherwise, if you find the master from her, be careful not to eat it!" The man first glared at the young man, and after getting the other party nodded and bowed, he looked at the county office and suddenly smiled. "It's a coincidence. If that's the case, let her live in the county office a little longer. Maybe it's still useful. Let's go."

"...Ah? Don't you catch her back? Didn't you mean that the master has been looking for her?" The young man didn't understand.

The man glared at him: "Idiot! The master wants to find her, but the master wants to get rid of these annoying bugs!" It's all because of the stupid Bai Qi who got at home before, but he still left a handle for the arrest. People who came to deal with the aftermath, I was afraid that Shun Teng had found it out long ago, and it was stupid.

But this time, just wait until the master takes care of it himself.

"My lord, someone saw Bai Qi enter the Embroidery Pavilion."

Hearing Cheng Pu's words, the adult asked in doubt: "What is he doing in Xiuyi Pavilion?"

Shiba, who was embroidering quietly, quietly pricked up her ears. Xiuyige is the place where she is the embroiderer. The proprietress is a very bold person. What does Baiqi go to Xiuyige for?

When she encountered Bai Qi that day, she did not tell anyone that if Bai Qi had not been to the county government to "assisted" the investigation, she would not have even known that the person who caught her that day was Bai Qi.

Bai Qi, Master... Who are these people?

"I don't know, anyway, it won't be a good thing, but Xiyi Pavilion sells women's clothes." Cheng Pu said with a curled mouth.

"By the way, didn't Shiba know the boss of Xiuyige? It's better to ask Shiba to ask at that time, and see if I can ask anything."

Eighteen looked up and smiled at Xiao Jiu: "Okay, I will ask."

He lowered his head, but his eyes suddenly deepened.

"Someone witnessed Huancui turned into the alley and never came out again, but there was nothing in the alley. People disappeared like this, leaving no clues, but the alley was very close to the White House. I just don't know how the other party took Huan Cui away. That's a dead end." The scholar smacked his mouth and said.

"If people in the rivers and lakes want to kidnap a girl, Cheng Pu can do it." Xiao Jiu said nonchalantly. "If I learned kungfu more seriously and lightly at the beginning, I could do it." It's a pity that she learned a little bit, and she probably only jumped to the wall with ease. No matter how high it is, there will be nothing wrong.

"Officials, businessmen, people, the characters behind the white seven are really not simple."

The scholar suddenly remembered something very important: "By the way, my lord, the emperor has sent the governor to inspect the performance of the states and counties. I just arrived in Linxian yesterday, and I am afraid that I will be here in a few days. Patronize Investigate the case, you will not forget about this, will you?"

The adult shook his head: "I haven't forgotten, all official documents and county records are ready."

"That's good. Then let's see how the governor is an official. If we can believe it, we will tell him the clues and evidence we have. With the help of the governor, we can get twice the result with half the effort. Our case is too extensive. It’s really tricky to check up and lose the authority."

The adult nodded: "It's so good, then wait until the governor arrives."

Eighteen has been thoughtful.

Three days later, the governor arrived at the county office. There were not many people with him, only a few guards and a small servant who served him. The governor looked like he was about forty years old, with a small beard, and he looked dignified and upright, and he was very upright. In short, he was very fond of him. The conversation is also gentle, but if you really think that he and his appearance look so surreal, then you are wrong.

The more gentle you are, the more you can't take it lightly.

Because there were so many people, Shiba couldn't cook so many meals alone, so Xiao Jiu and Cheng Pu both came to help her, while the adults and scholars accompanied the governor to review the files.

Xiao Jiu said in intoxication while scraping the fish scales: "I'm so old and demeaned. I look like a scholar. I don't know if the son can be so temperamental when he grows old. A high official is a high official!"

Cheng Pu said: "What's the matter? Our grown-ups are still young now, and they will definitely be promoted to high officials in the future. By then, they will definitely have a temperament."

"Oh, you don't understand!" Touched eighteen with his shoulder. "What about eighteen? Oh, yes, you haven't seen the governor. When you have lunch later, you must remember to check it out. They are really alive. At first glance, I am a high official. When I first met adults, I felt flustered. Although the words were gentle and oppressive at all."

Eighteen smiled without speaking, and continued to cut the **** in his hand.

I finally finished my lunch. I wore a headscarf when I was cooking, and the clothes were simple and convenient. She, Xiao Jiu and Cheng Pu couldn’t sit down, and they had to wait for the guards to finish eating. they.

When the dish was brought into the lobby, the governor who was chatting and laughing with the adult scholar saw her at a glance: "This is..."

"Oh, this is the late-born cousin eighteen from a distant place. The relatives at home are gone, so she came to the late-born. The adult is kind, so she stayed." The scholar chuckled lightly, blocking the governor's sight towards Eighteen. .

The governor nodded repeatedly: "What a beauty, I wonder if Mr. Du's cousin can be approved by others?"

At the mention of beauties, his whole eyes light up.

The adult said in a deep voice: "The next official loves the eighteen girls. Both of us have the names of unmarried couples. We only wait to get married on the next day." The governor laughed and said: "It's so good, two gifted scholars and beautiful ladies. I feel quite envious. So, let me stay here for a few more days, and I happen to be the masters of the two. What do you think?"

Eighteen was stunned. She looked at Xiao Jiu and then at the adult. She didn't know how to respond, but the adult responded quickly: "So there will be a governor of labor."

Eighteen hug her out of the hall, Xiao Jiu immediately hugged her and laughed and yelled, "It's so good! Congratulations, eighteen!" Ah, ah, ah, her silver is about to be handed!

"How can this be done?" The first reaction of the eighteenth that recovered was to go in and explain clearly, but was grabbed by Xiao Jiu: "You are stupid! The governor asked you just now. I think it was just a surprise, my lord. In order to avoid him coveting you, he said that the two of you are unmarried couples. Take a 10,000 step back and say, is it better to marry an adult than to follow a bad old man?" She patted the eighteen on the shoulder, "And you can speak clearly now, say The governor may think that the adult deliberately deceived him. What should I do if I wear small shoes to the adult in the performance evaluation? It is important to know that the annual performance inspection is very important. The adults have been here for almost a year as a parent official, and all the opportunities for promotion are Master governor's hands!"

When Xiao Jiu said so, Shiba dismissed the idea of ​​making it clear, but she was still a little uneasy.

On the one hand, the adults wanted to prevent the governor from coveting the eighteenth, but on the other hand, it was for his own selfishness. Eighteen is indeed a good girl. He wanted to take care of her forever, but she was too heavy-hearted to nod and agree to marry him, so he had no choice but to make a move.

After the scholars had finished their lunch, they started to check the auspicious days, and the whole county office suddenly became lively.

Regrettably, this happy event has been watered down by a bad event before it even started.

Another white seven died.

The death is so cruel. He was cut out with a horrified expression on his face, and I don’t know what he saw before he died. As soon as the heart-cutting case came out, the happy event had to be put aside immediately, due to the plot of the crime. Too bad, the governor will not leave, threatening not to leave unless the murderer is arrested!

Xiao Jiu’s autopsy concluded that Bai Qi died simply and neatly. The murderer didn’t know what weapon he used to cut his chest open, and the blood was all over the floor. What’s strange is why the murderer cut his heart and threw it aside, as if it was not at all. unimportant. If it's not important, why do you want to cut it?

In addition, there are traces of torture on Bai Qi. It can be seen that it was not easy for him to die, but the question is again, why did the murderer tortured Bai Qi? What does he want from Bai Qi?

Bai Qi was well placed in the White Mansion, and Bai Mansion's such strict guards only made Bai Qi die in it without anyone noticing it?

The adults, the scholar and Cheng Pu went to the White House to investigate the murder scene again. When the three came back, Cheng Pu was normal. The expressions of both the adults and the scholar were a little weird. Xiao Jiu asked when they saw her, but no one answered her. .

The governor also went to the White House, but he didn't seem to be good at investigating the case. After looking around for a long time, he didn't see any results. In the end, he could only encourage the adults and let him continue to work hard.

"Look at what this is."

In the evening, the scholar went to the rooms of Xiaojiu and Shishi and showed them what they found today.

Xiao Jiu was confused, but Eighteen showed a thoughtful look: "This symbol... seems to be seen somewhere, where did you find it?"

"In the white seven bedroom. Just like the last white seven, this token and the tattoo on the upper back of his corpse were hidden on the wall. Xiao Jiu didn't find it during the autopsy. Both white sevens have the same thing. Tattoo?"

"Of course I found it." Xiao Jiubai glanced at him. "I've reported it to the lord, can't you just listen to what I'm saying?"

The scholar coughed twice and continued: "Eighteen said that this symbol is familiar. Think about it carefully. Where have you seen it?"

Xiao Jiu racked his brains and couldn't think of anything, but Shi eight said: "...sir, governor."

"Not bad!" The scholar glanced at him appreciatively. "The governor's family crest is this sign." "Even so, it doesn't prove that Bai Qi is related to the governor." Eighteen said.

"So we have to make a long-term plan. Your lord has sent Cheng Pu to the capital."

"To the capital?"

"Is there any relationship between Bai Qi and the governor? I will find out if you check it at the governor's house?" The scholar smiled triumphantly. "It's useful to have a martial arts expert by our side, don't you think?"

Xiao Jiu and Shi Shi both smiled slightly. Cheng Pu went to the capital to do nothing else, he went as a thief, but then again, all this is too coincidental. The governor deliberately stayed in the county office and did not leave. On the surface, it was for investigating the case. In fact, it was for the purpose of investigating the case. what?

Because of the case of Baiqi, the county government started to work again. Only Eighteen had nothing to do. She still embroidered and cooked every day. Cheng Pu was not there. Xiao Jiu began to be responsible for the safety of adults and scholars, so she could not accompany Eighteen every day. Eighteen stayed in the room quietly and did not go out.

On this day, the adult scholar and Xiao Jiu got new clues, and they were not in the county office. Eighteen washed the clothes and dried them and sat in the hallway to embroider. He kept his head down until a huge shadow blocked him. She raised her head and saw that it was the governor, and was so scared that she quickly got up and saluted: "The girl has seen the governor."

The man stared straight at herself. She was a little frightened, and then took a step back. Who knew she was pulled into her arms by the other party, her hands and wrists were tightly clasped, and the governor’s face was still a little gentle and serious. After tearing off the disguised skin, he is the most despicable person in the world.

Sticking out his tongue and licking Shiba's neck, the governor sighed, "The taste is still as good as ever, you know, I have never been satisfied with how many women I will find without you."

"What are you talking about?" Eighteen struggled hard. "I don't even know you—"

"Shhh." The governor tapped her lips lightly. "I know you don't remember anything, but it's okay, I will remind you. Eighteen, is your name now? I have something to tell you to do."

Shiba struggled, but the other party didn't move at all. When he put one leg against her, Shiba couldn't move instantly. She had to open her watery eyes angrily: "You villain! How can I help you!"

"You will." The governor was confident. "Because if you don't do it, I will tell them about your past. Also, do you think they can escape the palm of my hand, eh? Have you forgotten, who has the authority to review political achievements?"

Eighteen suddenly quieted down. Upon seeing this, the governor smiled satisfied: "What a good girl, you forgot what I taught you before?"

She didn't want to look at him. The governor let her go, took out a letter and a piece of jade pendant from her arms, and said, "What should I do, understand?"

The envelope read: Pro-Khan Qiqi.

Although there is no memory of this world, Shiba also knows that this profuse khan refers to an enemy country that has been at odds with its own country in recent years. The governor gave this to her and asked her to frame the adult to collude with the enemy and betray the country? "I won't do it!"

"You should know my methods." The governor narrowed his eyes. "To me, they are clinging to people like flies that live and die. They always want to investigate me and don't see who they are. Cut grass and roots, don't you think? The two of us are on the same rope. Grasshopper, don't you want to know your past?"

"I don't want to." Eighteen refused without hesitation, and threw both the letter and the jade pendant on the governor. "I won't do anything for you. Even if you threaten me, it's useless." "Really?" The governor grinned rather than angered. "If I remember correctly, those few people are not in the county office, right?"

"What are you going to do?!" Shiba's heart was disturbed by the other's dangerous eyes.

"What can I do? Naturally, I have done what I have done countless times with you." The governor pinched Shiba's chin and kissed her gently on her lips, which made Shiba very sick. He smiled contentedly when he saw her eyes showing disgust and resentment. "That's it, that's how you look at me. The more stubborn and unyielding, the more exciting you are. You just don't know what confession is. If you are a little behaved, you won't suffer such suffering."

I touched my hand around Shiba, and asked curiously: "Who removed the chastity belt for you? You can take it off without a key, and you can escape wearing that thing. Eighteen, eighteen, I am really I underestimated you. I thought that after serving a hundred men, you would be a little behaved. Who knows that you still have the strength to escape. Tsk tsk, am I being too kind to you?"

He said so, but there was no smile in his eyes, she was absolutely cruel. He admired the expression of humiliation and begging for mercy by the weak in his hands. Eighteen was the only one who never bowed his head or gave up.

At this moment, a guard dedicated his life to report: "Master, someone has returned."

When the governor heard this, he let go of his grip on the eighteenth, took two steps, and looked back like he kindly reminded the eighteen: "If someone knows something that shouldn't be known, I can't guarantee it, your past Will it be spread all over the city?"

Looking at his back, Shiba smiled coldly.
