Bai He looked at Old Man Li who was cowering in fear, she knew what was going on, so she thought for a moment, then said: "I wonder if Master has seen the name list, Old Man Li is a person who likes to lie. Is his words really true? "

"It was because I bought your stuff that I found out that I was poisoned!" The Old Man Li said stubbornly.

"Very well, then I have another question. How many people do you have in your house?" Bai He did not comment and continued.

"I'm not lying at all!" When the Old Man Li heard Bai He's question, he hurriedly explained, "I feel that selling vegetables is also for business."

The official nodded his head and said: "Old Man Li's words are not a lie. His views are different, this can't be evidence of his lies, right?" What exactly does this Bai He mean? Was he trying to stall for time?

Bai He laughed, but then heard someone clapping their hands outside.

"Brilliant!" A person walked over.

When Bai He saw him, she immediately realised that this man was actually a Master Song from another clan.

She nodded gratefully at the person who went to get the order, then greeted Master Song.

"This is really exciting!" Master Song was still sighing.

When the officials at the side saw Master Song, they respectfully greeted him.

"Why does the Master Song have the time to come here?" There was someone working in the government at Master Song, and his position was not low either. Even if the county officials saw him, they would be very respectful to him.

Naturally, mere officials like them did not dare to be disrespectful.

The Master Song looked at them and said, "I heard that you all relied on your power to bully others, so I naturally came over."

After Bai He heard his words, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Master Song was going to help her.

"Master Song, we don't have any, it was this Old Man Li that said Bai He's food was poisonous!" The official respectfully explained everything that had happened.

Master Song looked at them and said, "You guys are actually still this muddleheaded? It's already so obvious! "

A group of officials looked at him in confusion. They clearly did not know what had happened, so how could they be clear about what had happened?

"Bai He, it's better if you say it yourself." Master Song did not want to steal Bai He's spotlight and said.

The group of people all looked at Bai He, seemingly guessing what exactly had happened.

Bai He thought for a while, then said: "Everyone here knows, my Stripping Apple is a hundred years old. The Old Man Li only earned a hundred gold coins per month. Moreover, they lived a short life, so how could they spend a hundred gold coins to buy an apple? "That way, we can know that he must be lying!"

"No, I can afford it!" Old Li felt so regretful that he almost died from regret. Back then, he had listened to his boss in order to show that he had really eaten a lot of her food. In the end, he had really screwed up now.

Bai He looked at him and said: "Do you need to go to your house to ask? I don't think your old people would lie! "

"Remember, if you're lying, you can find out anything!" Bai He thought about it, but he didn't forget to say: "Oh right, if there's no other way, there are plenty of ways to make you speak the truth in the prison!"

Old Man Li thought about the torture and quickly shook his head. He told the truth and told her everything that had happened.

He said with a sullen face: "It wasn't my Old Man Li that was lying, it was that boss who told me to report it. Furthermore, he even said that the county magistrate is related to him and would definitely not cause me any trouble." How could he have known that this ugly girl was so amazing? In just a few sentences, he was exposed.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have waded into this muddy water.

Bai He laughed and said: "I'm afraid that things are more complicated than that. I wonder how much money he promised you? "

"One, one hundred coins." Seeing Bai He's clever look, Old Man Li was also trembling in fear, she did not dare to lie.

Bai He laughed and said: "It's been hard on you, I believe that since you were so cooperative, Master Guan would definitely not do anything to you."

Master Song glanced at the officials when he heard them.

Seeing that, the official hurriedly said, "Of course, Old Man Li is cooperating this well to tell the truth, so we will naturally not make things difficult for you."

"Since you've already found out the truth, there's no need to delay any longer." Master Song drove them away.

"Yes, yes, yes." The officials quickly left in dejection.

Just a moment ago, it had been a lot of commotion, but now, they were in a sorry state.

"Thank you, Master Song." Bai He supported him with his body, bowing and thanking him.

The Master Song shook his head and said: "No need to thank me, you are so clever, you can obviously escape on your own, I only took a look."

Bai He immediately shook her head, and said: "Master Song is too modest, if not for Master Song's pressure, why would those officials be so cooperative?" Even if she had found the truth, things would not have been resolved so easily.

Master Song waved his hand and said, "Girl, you are quite clever. "Oh right, I heard that you have something new. Can I have a taste of what meat is?"

Bai He immediately brought the meat over and said, "If Master Song likes it, you can take it with you. Consider this as my thanks."

Master Song had only wanted to taste it to not be easy to take away, but he couldn't bear to taste a piece.

"Then I won't be disrespectful." The Master Song took it and said, "If there's anything else in the future, you will definitely ask me for help."

"Thank you very much." Bai He quickly expressed her thanks. Being able to find such a big tree was definitely her luck, how could she let it go?

If she were to open a shop in this market in the future, it would definitely cause some trouble. Seeing how those officials were looking after Master Song's face today, she definitely had to make good use of it.

Master Song laughed and then left with the minced meat.

A few of them looked at Bai He with resentment, not expecting her to gift the things to them so quickly.

Bai He could only look at them with difficulty.

There was no other way. The cost was too high. It was better for her not to do so for the time being.

It was a pity.

"Bai Shi, I'm sorry. You definitely haven't finished eating yet and I already gave you a favor." Bai He looked at Bai Shi, and he was truly sorry. Originally, she had planned to make it for him, but in the end, all of them were sent out by her.

Bai Shi shook his head.

After packing her things, she did not stay any longer and prepared the materials needed for tomorrow before hurrying home.

Bai Shi followed behind her. Looking at her expression, he was a little surprised.

When Bai He left the market, she felt her legs go weak and immediately went to support Bai Shi.

Bai Shi looked at her, a little doubtful.

In front of Bai Shi, she naturally would not hide anything, and said: "Bai Shi, help me out a little. My legs are a bit weak and I can't stand up. "

Bai Shi looked at her, who was feeling a little weak, and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Bai He raised her head to look at him and saw that her small face was actually pale white.

"I'll take you to the doctor." Bai Shi immediately said.

Bai He shook her head and said with difficulty: "Don't, I'm not sick, I was just scared."

Bai Shi looked at her in shock.

Bai He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You don't think I'm that powerful, right? Don't you feel how dangerous the situation was? I think my back is going to get wet. " Only after coming out did she finally feel some lingering fear.

As long as those officials had forcefully taken her away, she would have no way of resisting. Or perhaps, the boss had invited someone who was not as foolish as her. She also had no way of fighting back.

In that previous scene, she had only relied on her own energy to persevere. Those calm and collected feelings were all feigned by her!

Just looking at the sabers worn by the officials made her dizzy.

Fortunately, those officials were only looking at the Master Song and did not really do anything bad. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As he was thinking, he felt his body rise into the air.

Bai He opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Shi.

Bai Shi said in a muffled voice: "I'll carry you back."

Bai He immediately shook her head and said: "It's not that I can't leave, I just need to leave slowly. You don't have to hold me. "

However, Bai Shi shook his head and said, "I can't help you with anything else."

Hearing him say that, Bai He immediately understood that he was feeling guilty, and immediately replied: "It's alright, this matter is my own affair, and furthermore, how can us small commoners be at odds with the officials!"

Bai Shi nodded his head, but apparently, he was not comforted by Bai He's words.

Bai He was also helpless, she thought for a while, then said: "Alright, bring me along, once I recover, put me down." Since this would make Bai Shi's mood a little better, how could she not do it?

Bai Shi lowered his head, seeing her perspiring profusely, his heart aching a little, but after going through this matter, he suddenly realised, it was actually just hunting, it was completely useless!

Bai He didn't know what he was thinking, but she wrapped her arms around Bai Shi's neck. Since he wanted to hug her, of course she had to find a good spot.

She leaned against him all the way, and unknowingly, she actually fell asleep.

Bai Shi carried her like this, and did not feel tired either, but the guilt he felt from not being able to do anything before decreased a lot on this journey.

Bai He was very smart, this was what he knew, and she even carried other things he didn't know. This kind of Bai He made him feel that Bai He was mysterious and interesting, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
