Under the dim oil lamp, Wu Tianshi, who was wearing a prison uniform and was scarred, was carried back to the dark cell by two jailers. When one of the jailers with a beard threw the dying young man to the ground, he couldn't help but scold: "Damn, this little white face was caught by the Bai family on the spot and stolen it, and it has passed three times in the past two days, and his mouth is still so hard." ”

"Forget it, Lao He, anyway, there are all the human and material evidence, I have seen a lot of this kind of charlatan. As long as they are locked up for ten days and August, they can be cured of their cheating and tricks, let's keep our eyes open and look at him, I heard that this kid can do demon magic. ”

"Don't worry about this, everything on his body has been stolen, and he is so tightly tied, don't even think about flying into the sky with a pair of wings from him! Let's take a walk, change shifts and drink for a while! ”

The two jailers left with a smile and a smile, leaving Wu Tianshi alone to be abandoned in the dark. I don't know how long it took for him to wake up in the scorching pain all over his body.

The young man's bright eyes were now stagnant, the whipped wound on his back was scorching, and the body that had been forced to confess could hardly even lift his arm. Wu Tianshi was prostrate in the dark, his eyes staring blankly at the thick wooden fence that had surrounded him, and the dreams and wishes in his mind were becoming more and more ethereal in front of his eyes at this time.

There weren't too many prisoners in the Redwood City prison, and in the darkness and silence, Wu Tianshi could only hear the moans coming from his mouth from time to time.

Nightfall......

Bai Gui looked at Bai Xuan, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, a little helplessly, sighed, and persuaded: "Miss, don't be embarrassed by the old slave." Unless the young master relaxes, the old slave will not let you take a step towards the Bai family. ”

"Please, uncle." Bai Xuan cried: "I know that my brother will not write an explanation to the government, but, uncle, please, at least let me see him again, is it okay?" ”

"Miss, why are you doing this?" Bai Gui said with some hatred: "The master was killed by those two thieves and walked around the ghost gate, and the situation did not stabilize until yesterday, why do you always speak for him?" ”

"Uncle Gui, I haven't been with Brother Heavenly Master for a long time, but I can feel that he is not a bad person." Bai Xuan sobbed and said: "He was close to Shi Cheng before, but only because he didn't know anyone, and for free medical treatment, he wasn't necessarily Shi Cheng's comrade." Also, when he was alchemy that day, he only helped Shi Cheng, if you want to condemn him because of this, why don't you count Xuan'er together? I also helped when Shi Cheng was refining the pill. ”

"Miss!" Bai Gui shouted angrily.

But Bai Xuan knelt down directly and cried, "Please, uncle." Xuan'er just wants to see Brother Tianshi again, and that's all she has. ”

"You! Hey......" Bai Gui sighed, quickly helped Bai Xuan up, and said: "Miss, the old slave knows what you think in your heart, but there are thousands of good men in the world, why do you only put your heart on such a charlatan." You're still young enough to be so easily fooled by that thief. ”

"Uncle Gui!"

"Alright, you don't have to say any more." Bai Gui waved his hand and said to the people behind Bai Xuan: "What are you still doing in a daze, Miss is tired, take Miss back to the room." ”

Bai Xuan cried and shouted: "Uncle Gui, don't! Please, I just want to see him once, just one side. ”

But Bai Gui didn't listen to her at all, and with a wave of his hand, the maids behind Bai Xuan who seemed to be a little skilled came up together and helped Bai Xuan out.

After Bai Xuan went out, Bai Gui called another domestic servant guarding the door and instructed him: "You go and send another message to the maids serving the young lady, so that they must keep an eye on the young lady these days, this is also the meaning of the young master, and it doesn't matter if you let them use some coercive means if necessary." But if the young lady escapes, they will be punished together! ”

The servant nodded respectfully and took the order.

After a while, a servant's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Your lord, the young master has something important to discuss, and please go to the study immediately." ”

"Okay, I'll do it now." Bai Gui said as he opened the door.

Bai Gui glanced at the servant, and immediately recognized Bai Zheng who was obeying orders in Bai Qingming's courtyard. He felt a slight strangeness in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart, nodded, and strode directly towards Bai Qingming's study.

Outside Bai Qingming's study, Bai Gui knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Young Master, Bai Gui is here." ”

The door was quickly opened, and Bai Qingming walked out quickly. Seeing Bai Gui standing outside the door, he hurriedly asked, "Is it Uncle Gui?" Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Bai Gui asked suspiciously, "Isn't it young master, do you have something to look for me?" I look at Bai Zheng's hurried face, is something wrong again? ”

"Bai Zheng? I sent him to the port today to collect the account book and come back to reconcile the accounts, how could I send him to you? Bai Qingming replied.

There seemed to be a thunderclap in his mind, and Bai Gui remembered what the strange feeling was just now. When Bai Zheng sees him on weekdays, he always has a flattering face. But the "Bai Zheng" who had just come to report to himself had no other look on his face except for some anxiety.

"Oops! That person must have been pretended by Shi Cheng! Bai Gui couldn't help but exclaim.

"Shi Cheng?!" Bai Qingming exclaimed: "Uncle Gui, what happened!" ”

"Young master, please pick a few good hands to come with me immediately, and I will explain this matter to you on the way."

After speaking, Bai Gui turned his head and said to a servant guarding the door: "You! Hurry up and go to the government, and ask the government to send a team of city guards to help my Bai family catch the thief!" ”

The servant answered and took the order.

Bai Qingming and Bai Gui hurried to Bai Gui's residence under the escort of a team of guards. Outside the door, Bai Qingming, who had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and the eight guards immediately surrounded the house. Then, under the protection of the two nurses, Bai Qingming cautiously opened the door.

To Bai Qingming's surprise, Bai Gui's room was empty, and there was no obvious trace of the furniture in the room being moved, except that the books on the desk seemed to have been turned over.

"Uncle, you shouldn't have anything important left in the study, right?" Bai Qingming asked.

"Young master, I haven't left any important items in the house, you can rest assured."

Bai Qingming nodded, and said to Bai Tao, the steward behind Bai Gui: "Bai Tao, you go and send orders to all parts of the mansion, so that the servants and maids in the mansion are on alert." In addition, I asked the nurses to work in groups of three to patrol and search all parts of the house, especially my grandfather's house. If someone finds that Shi Cheng, don't fight hard, immediately whistle to warn! ”

"Yes!" Bai Tao hurriedly responded, and immediately ran out of the door to give the order, and the Bai family entered a state of tension.

Early the next morning, inside the Redwood City Jail.

Wu Tianshi, who had only been forcibly poured some water by the jailer, was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps in a trance, and he struggled to open his eyes to find a stranger standing outside his cell with a bamboo basket, looking at him coldly.

"You...... Who is ......" Wu Tianshi asked weakly.

"I'm from the Bai family." The stranger looked at Wu Tianshi with disdain, took out a key to unlock the door, and untied the rope in Wu Tianshi's hand. After doing this, he put the bamboo basket in front of Wu Tianshi and said coldly: "This is the sweet cake that my young lady made for you, send me to send it to you secretly." Hum! My young lady treats you well, but you will take revenge and conspire with the thief surnamed Shi to poison my master! ”

"I, I didn't conspire with him......"

"I'm too lazy to listen to you say this, the time for visiting the prison is limited, you hurry up and eat this sweet cake, so I can bring the bamboo basket back." The stranger said disdainfully: "I can't even find a customs clearance document on my body, and I have to wait for the government to report it layer by layer, and confirm your identity to Wu Guo before making a judgment, it's really cheap for you." ”

Wu Tianshi gasped and didn't refute anything, his customs clearance document was actually placed in a special magic weapon that he carried with him, and the government of this small place in Redwood City naturally couldn't search it out. In addition, as soon as Wu Tianshi was sent to the yamen, he was subjected to a set of big memory recovery techniques, and with a resentment in his heart, he simply let the Redwood City government treat him as a black household.

Wu Tianshi opened the lid weakly, and a pungent fragrance rushed out of the bamboo basket, adding a warmth to the heart of Wu Tianshi, who had been tortured these days. Tears rolled across his face, and after more than a day of hunger, he picked up the cookies, kept stuffing them into his mouth, and gobbled them up.

After eating the sweet cakes, Wu Tianshi handed the bamboo basket to the domestic servant with both hands, his eyes were gloomy, and he said to him, "Thank you for me, Miss Family." In addition, can you please help me send a message to Miss Bai and say that I am sorry for her. It was I who didn't know anyone and hurt her grandfather. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

The stranger looked at the bamboo basket handed over by Wu Tianshi, but he didn't take it, but a weird smile appeared on his face. He squatted down and said to Wu Tianshi, "You can keep these words and go to hell to say them." ”

"Oops!" Wu Tianshi suddenly fell to the ground, his abdomen aching like a twist, and gradually, the sharp pain began to spread to every part of his body.

Wu Tianshi trembled and stretched out his finger to point at the stranger, opening his mouth to call the jailer to come, but the severe pain made him only let out a faint moan.

"Call it." The stranger whispered, "You are the only prisoner in the entire Bulletin No. 3 Prison District, and no one will hear your voice, in fact, you should not be able to scream now." Don't blame me, if you want to blame Shi Cheng, you have been with him these days, and you know a lot of things. ”

At this time, Wu Tianshi could no longer hear the words spoken by the stranger, and the severe pain overwhelmed him, and he felt that his consciousness was already moving away from him.

"Am I going to die...... I'm sorry, Master. I'm sorry, brothers and sisters. I...... I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge you. But it's okay...... If I go to that world, I can see you again......" Tears overflowed from the corners of Wu Tianshi's eyes, wetting a small piece of straw under his head, and he gradually closed his eyes as he recalled every carefree day in the division before the great change.
