Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: The forty-third bowl of soup (8 & 9)

The atmosphere became more relaxed. Shiba looked at the time, and told everyone that he was going out to buy vegetables. Everyone was busy this time, and no one had time to accompany her. Shiba looked at their worried expressions. I couldn't help laughing: "I just went to buy some food, how many times, I won't get lost."

After finally persuading everyone to relax, she took a vegetable basket and silver taels, and after leaving the county office, turn left and you will be at the bustling market entrance, where there will be vendors selling vegetables at fixed hours every day. In order to have fresh ingredients every day, Shiba goes out at this time every day.

Only this time, I accidentally collided with a person. Shiba was almost knocked down by the strong recoil, and finally stopped, full of shock. The man on the opposite side was dressed as a boy. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "is that you?"

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

"It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, and you don't know me? Even if you don't know me, you should know the master, eh?" The man smiled and opened the folding fan in his hand, holding a suave. He approached eighteen step by step, carefully looking at her appearance, and once again convinced that this woman was indeed the one he knew. "Look at the way you are dressed now, like a good family member, why did you find an unknown man to be a pick-up man?"

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

"Ah yes, of course you don't understand. It's really sad that you don't recognize your old lover when you put on clothes." As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand as if to touch Shiba's face. Eighteen wanted to hide, but she couldn't hold back her strength. She was pinned to the wall. She looked at him in panic, and the man looked at her face fascinatedly, and sighed, "I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you were dead. , I've been sad for you for a few days. Do you still remember the taste of that day, eh? If you don't obey, you will be punished. The master has been looking for you."

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

The man shrugged: "He didn't have enough fun with you, but you ran away. You said should you look for it? Hmm... I don't know how the master will reward me if I take you back. There is no place to find shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.”

Who is the master he speaks of? Shiba lowered his head and said, "I won't go back there again, even if you find me, it's useless."

"It's not up to you, beauty. Don't you miss it at all?" The man looked regretful, "Now it's me who you should ask for, what do you think?"

"How do you want me to beg you?"

"Just do what you do best." The man's eyes were full of lust, "You remember those things, right? If you don't obey, you will be punished. You have to be good in order to survive, understand?"

"Is that so?" Shiba gave him a sweet smile, and suddenly raised his leg to hit the most vulnerable place between the other's legs, "Is that so?"

The man turned pale in pain, bent over to cover his important parts, and stared at her fiercely. Eighteen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, kicked him again, grabbed his own basket, and ran away.

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

Today's food doesn't seem to taste right.

Everyone has this feeling. Looking at Shiba who is sitting on the table sluggishly eating, they don't understand what happened to her. Today's dishes are sweet, salty and salty, and the taste is very strange. But Shiba didn't seem to think it, because she sat there eating very seriously, and didn't notice the strange taste at all. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the **** was going on. Wasn't it okay when they went out to buy food in the morning? Why did they lose their minds during lunch?

They wanted to ask, but Shiba stood up after eating and left in a daze.

The adults looked at Shiba's back deeply. His sense of smell is very sensitive, and he can smell a smell that has never appeared on her body. It is an incense for men. Has she had contact with a certain man today?

Is it being bullied outside?

The scholar gave Xiao Jiu a look, Xiao Jiu hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and chased after her, half an hour later she came back and shook her head to the three of them: "I asked, she said nothing, but I see Her expression is wrong."

Beside a big tree outside the county office, the man who was entangled in the eighteenth morning stared coldly at the county office gate: "Are you sure she entered here?"

"Yes, I have inquired about the girl. The girl was born beautiful, and many people have the impression that she is from the county government office, and it is said that she is the wife of the county magistrate who has never been there."

"Humph." The man sneered. "It's interesting that someone is rushing to see the broken shoes." Then his expression turned cold. "You said just now that the girl has amnesia?"

"That's right, the little one bought the yamen who prescribed medicine for that girl, so I'm sure she doesn't remember anything."

"It's better if it's true, otherwise if she finds out the master's body, you won't be able to walk around!" The man first glared at the servant, and after getting the other's nod and bowing, he looked at the county government again, and suddenly laughed . "It's a coincidence, since that's the case, let her stay in the county for a longer time, maybe it's still useful, let's go."

"...Ah? Don't you bring her back? Didn't you say that the master has been looking for her?" The servant 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 bed bugs!" It's all to blame that the previous Bai Qi was stupid when he got home, and even left a handle for arresting people. If it wasn't for the master sending someone to take care of the aftermath, I'm afraid it would have been found out long ago, which would be stupid.

But this time, let's wait for the master to deal with it in person.

"Sir, someone saw Bai Qi entering the Xiuyi Pavilion."

Hearing Cheng Pu's words, the adults wondered: "What is he doing at Xiuyi Pavilion?"

Eighteen, who was quietly embroidering, quietly perked up her ears. Xiuyi Pavilion is the house where she worked as an embroiderer. The proprietress is a very generous person. What is Bai Qi going to do at Xiuyi Pavilion?

She didn't tell anyone about what happened to Bai Qi that day. If it wasn't for Bai Qi who went to the county government to "assist" the investigation, she wouldn't even know that the person who caught her that day was Bai Qi.

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

"I don't know. In short, it won't be a good thing. Xiuyi Pavilion only sells women's clothes." Cheng Pu said with a pouted mouth.

"By the way, doesn't Shiba know the proprietress of Xiuyi Pavilion? Why don't you ask Shiba to see if he can come up with something."

Eighteen looked up and smiled at Xiaojiu: "Okay, I'll ask."

He lowered his head, but his eyes suddenly darkened.

"Some people saw Huancui turn into the alley and never came out, but there was nothing in the alley, and the people just disappeared without leaving any clues, but that alley is far from Baifu. It's very close, but I don't know how the other party took Huancui away, it's a dead end." The scholar smacked his lips and said.

"If people in the world want to kidnap a girl, Cheng Pu can do it." Xiao Jiu said nonchalantly. "If I had been more serious in learning kung fu, and if I had been better at qinggong, I could have done it." It's a pity that she was only half-baked, and qinggong was probably only enough to jump to the wall, no matter how high it was.

"Officials, merchants, and people, the characters behind Bai Qi are really not simple."

The scholar suddenly remembered a very important thing: "By the way, my lord, the emperor sent the governor to inspect the performance of various states and counties. I just arrived in Linxian yesterday, and I am afraid that it will take a few days to come to us. . Patronizing the case, you won't forget this, will you?"

The adults shook their heads: "I didn't forget, all the official records and county records are ready."

"That's good, then let's see how the governor is an official. If we can trust him, we will tell him the clues and evidence we have at hand. With the help of the governor, we can get twice the result with half the effort. Our case is too involved. It's really tricky."

The lord nodded: "That's very good, let's wait until the governor arrives."

Eighteen has been thoughtful.

Three days later, the governor arrived at the county government office. He did not have many people with him, only a few guards and a servant who was on hand. The Governor looks about forty years old, with a moustache, looks dignified and upright, full of uprightness, in short, it makes people feel good. His speech is also gentle, but if you really think that he is as elusive as he looks, it is wrong.

The more gentle people are, the more they can't be taken lightly.

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

Xiao Jiu was intoxicated while scratching the scales of the fish: "At such an old age, he is still so graceful. At first glance, he is a scholar. I wonder if the young master will be able to have such a temperament when he is old. A high-ranking official is a high-ranking official! "

Cheng Pu said: "What's the matter? Our family is still young, and he will definitely be promoted to a high-ranking official in the future. At that time, he will definitely have a temperament."

"Oh, you don't understand!" Touched Eighteen with his shoulder. "How about eighteen? Oh, by the way, you haven't seen the governor yet. When you have lunch later, you must remember to take a look. They are really aura. At first glance, they are high officials. When I first met adults, I felt flustered, although the words were gentle, the feeling of oppression was not much at all."

Eighteen smiled without saying a word, and continued to cut the **** in his hand.

Finally made lunch, Shiba wore a headscarf while cooking, and her clothes were relatively simple and convenient. She, Xiaojiu and Cheng Pu couldn't sit down and had to wait for the guards to finish eating It was their turn.

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 my late-born cousin from a distance, Eighteen. Her family members were gone, so she came to join the late-born. The adults were kind, so I kept her." The scholar chuckled and blocked the governor from looking at Eighteen. go sight.

The governor nodded again and again: "What a beauty, I don't know Mr. Du's cousin allowed her?"

His whole eye lit up at the mention of beauty.

The lord said in a deep voice: "Xiaguan is in love with the eighteenth girl. The two of us are already married, and we only need to choose a day to get married."

The governor smiled and said: "It's so good, two talented and beautiful women, even this official feels quite envious. Well, this official will stay here for a few more days, and it happens to be the officiant for the two of you. What do you think?"

Eighteen was stunned. She looked at Xiao Jiu and then at the lord. She didn't know how to react, but the lord responded quickly: "In this way, there will be Governor Lao."

Eighteen walked out of the hall in a daze, and Xiao Jiu immediately hugged her, laughed and shouted, "It's so good! Congratulations, Eighteen!" Ah, ah, ah, her money is about to come!

"How can this work?" The first reaction of the eighteenth was to go in and make it clear, but Xiao Jiu grabbed him: "You are stupid! The governor asked you just now, probably because he was angry. Now, in order to prevent him from coveting you, the lord said that the two of you are fiancées. Take a ten thousand steps back and say that marrying an adult is better than marrying a bad old man?" She patted Shiba on the shoulder, "And now you make it clear If so, maybe the governor will think that the adults deliberately deceived him. What should I do if I wear small shoes for the adults in the performance evaluation? You must know that the annual performance inspection is very important. The adults have been here for almost a year. The chance is all in the hands of the Governor!"

When Xiao Jiu said this, Shi Shi gave up her idea of ​​making it clear, but she was still a little uneasy.

On the one hand, adults want to put an end to the governor's coveting of Shiba, but on the other hand, it is actually for his own selfishness. Shiba is indeed a good girl. He wanted to take care of her for the rest of his life, but she was too heavy-hearted, and it was impossible for her to nod her head and agree to marry him, so he had to resort to this.

After lunch, the scholar went to check the auspicious days, and the whole county office suddenly became lively.

It's a pity that this happy event was diluted by a bad event before it even started.

Another Bai Qi died.

The death was brutal, a heart was cut out, and there was a terrified expression on his face. He didn't know what he saw before he died. When the heart-cutting case came out, the happy event was immediately postponed. The circumstances of Yu's crime were too bad, and the Governor did not leave, and threatened to leave until the murderer was brought to justice!

Xiao Jiu's autopsy concluded that Bai Qi's death was neat and tidy. The murderer cut open his chest with some weapon, and the blood was all over the floor. It is strange why the murderer cut his heart and threw it aside. It doesn't seem to matter at all. If it's not important, why cut it?

Besides, Bai Qi still has traces of being tortured. It can be seen that his death was not easy, but the question arises again, why did the murderer torture Bai Qi? What does he want from Bai Qi?

Bai Qi is always in the Bai Mansion. The Bai Mansion is so heavily guarded, but it turns out that Bai Qi died inside and no one noticed?

The adults, the scholar and Cheng Pu once again went to Baifu to investigate the murder scene. When the three came back, Cheng Pu was normal. The expressions of the adults and the scholar were a bit strange. did not answer her.

The Governor also went to the White House, but he didn't seem to be good at investigating cases. .

"Look what this is."

In the evening, the scholar went to Xiao Jiu and Shi Shi's room and showed them what they found today.

Xiao Jiu was confused, but Shi Shi showed a thoughtful expression: "This symbol... seems to have been seen somewhere, where did you find it?"

"In Bai Qi's bedroom. Like the previous Bai Qi, there is this token on the wall, as well as the tattoo on the back of his body. Xiao Jiu, you didn't find it during the autopsy, two Bai Qi. Do they all have the same tattoo?"

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

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

Xiaojiu racked his brains, but couldn't come up with anything, but Shiba said, "...Sir Governor."

"Not bad!" The scholar gave him an admiring look. "The Governor's coat of arms is this symbol."

"Even so, it doesn't prove that Bai Qi is related to the Governor." Shi Shi said.

"So we have to take a long-term view. Your Excellency sent Cheng Pu to the capital."

"Go to the capital?"

"Does Bai Qi have anything to do with the governor? You can find out if you go to the governor's house to find out?" The scholar smiled proudly. "It's still useful to have a martial arts master by our side, don't you think?"

Xiao Jiu and Shi Shi both smiled slightly. Cheng Pu went to the capital for no other purpose. He went there as a thief, but then again, all this is too coincidental. what?

Because of Bai Qi's case, the county government has started to work again. Only Shi Shi has nothing to do, and still embroiders and cooks every day. Cheng Pu is not there, and Xiao Jiu is responsible for the safety of adults and scholars, so he can't accompany Shi Shi 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 and dried his clothes and sat in the corridor to embroider, keeping his head down until a huge shadow blocked him. She raised her head and saw that it was the governor, so frightened, she got up and saluted: "Minnu has seen the governor."

The man stared straight at her. She was a little scared, so she took a step back. Who knew that she was pulled into her arms by the other party, her hands and wrists were tightly clasped, and there was still a little bit of normality on the governor's face. Serene and serious, he tore off the camouflage, he was the most despicable person in the world.

Standing out his tongue and licking Shiba's neck, the governor sighed: "The taste is still as good as ever, you know, I've never been satisfied with how many women I find after you are gone."

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

"Shh." The Inspector tapped her lips. "I know you don't remember anything, but it's okay, I'll remind you. Eighteen, is that your name now? I have something for you to do."

Eighteen struggled, but the other party didn't move at all. He pressed one leg against hers, and Eighteen couldn't move for a moment. She had no choice but to open her watery eyes angrily: "You little man! How can I help you do things!"

"You will." The governor was confident. "Because if you don't do it, I'll tell them about your past. Also, do you think they can escape my grasp, eh? Have you forgotten who has the power to review their performance?"

Eighteen fell silent suddenly. Upon seeing this, the governor showed a satisfied smile: "What a good girl, have you forgotten what I taught you before?"

She didn't want to look at him, so the governor released her, took out a letter and a jade pendant from his arms, and said, "What should I do, understand?"

On the envelope, it reads: Sweaty.

Although he has no memory of this world, Shiba also knows that this great khan refers to an enemy country that has been at odds with his own country in recent years. The governor handed this to her, so that she would frame the adult to cooperate 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 like flies that don't know how to live or die. They always want to investigate and punish me, and they don't know who they are. Cut the grass and root, don't you think? We are the two of us on the same rope. Grasshopper, don't you want to know about your past?"

"I don't want to." Shiba refused without hesitation, and threw the letter and jade pendant on the governor. "I won't do anything for you, even if you threaten me, it's no use."

"Really?" The governor laughed instead of anger. "If I remember correctly, those people are not in the county office, right?"

"What are you doing?!" The dangerous look in the other's eyes made Shiba uneasy.

"What can I do? Naturally, do what I have done with you countless times." The governor pinched Shiba's chin and kissed her lips lightly, which made Shiba extremely disgusting. When he saw her look of disgust and resentment, he showed a satisfied smile. "That's it, that's how you look at me. The more stubborn and unyielding you are, the more exciting you will be. You just don't know what it means to accept your fate. If you were a little more obedient, you wouldn't have to suffer like this."

Fumbling around on Shiba's body, he asked curiously, "Who took that chastity belt for you? You can take it off without a key, and you can escape with that thing on, Shiba, Shiba, I really underestimated you. I thought that after serving a hundred men, you would learn to behave better. Who would have thought that you would still have the strength to escape, tsk tsk, am I being too kind to you?"

He said that, but there was no smile in his eyes, she was absolutely cruel. He appreciates the humiliating and begging expressions of the weak on his hands. Eighteen is the only one who never bows his head or gives in.

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

When the governor heard this, he let go of Shiba's hand, took two steps, and then turned around and instructed Shiba with a kind-hearted look: "If someone finds out something they shouldn't know, I can't guarantee that, Will your past be spread all over the city?"

Looking at his back, Eighteen smiled coldly.
