The government officials have arrived.

Governor Cao was almost exhausted.

Not long after the matter in Shen's house was settled, they were busy opening a porridge shop, free clinic, etc. Although he was said not to need to come forward, he still had to show up.

Furthermore, Li Mingcheng's leg was still injured, and he was forced to hold it up just now. As soon as everyone dispersed, he lay down on the stretcher and was carried away.

Governor Cao couldn't help but sigh that it was really difficult to be a parent official in this city. However, thinking about it, he felt particularly fulfilled.

Oh, let's do it, who calls him an upright and good official?

As soon as he finished cheering himself up, his servant came over in a hurry.

As soon as he saw him, Governor Cao's face looked a little worried.

"Sir, something happened."

Governor Cao's head was about to explode: "What's going on!"

"There was an accident in front of Mr. Huo's shop."

Governor Cao laughed angrily: "What second son? I don't care whether he is second or third. How busy am I? How can I have time to care about things in front of the store?"

"Can't you all do your job? The whole yamen is focused on just me?"

The Yamen servant was scolded and did not dare to say anything more. Just as he was about to leave, Governor Cao suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about, Second Young Master?"

"Second Young Master Huo."

"Huo? The Huo from King Zhennan?"

The yamen officer said excitedly: "My lord, you finally remembered? He is the younger brother of King Zhennan, Mr. Huo."

Governor Cao almost lost his temper and kicked him twice: "What's wrong with the second young master? Tell me quickly!"

"Forget it, prepare the carriage, get in the carriage, and talk as we go!"

Governor Cao learned about the situation on the road. When he got closer, he saw blood on Huo Changxu's hands and his heart sank.

"Second Young Master, you..."

Huo Changxu's voice was clear: "Sir, this woman was chased by two men. One of the men had a murder weapon in his hand and slashed her on the shoulder. She fell to the ground and was unconscious. Doctor Cao had just bandaged her with medicine."

"Sir, the two men are wearing dark blue brocade robes and are about seven feet tall. One of them has a beard and one has a scar on his forehead."

"They came from east to west. They committed crimes and injured people and then ran to the west."

Huo Changxu explained the matter clearly and everyone present could hear it clearly.

The old man in the crowd said: "I will say that the young master is a good person and has nothing to do with the young master. This woman fell in front of the young master. She is lucky. The young master has a good heart."

Governor Cao nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for the clues provided by the Second Young Master. I will definitely order people to find the murderer. The Second Young Master is a righteous man, even though he is a stranger, he still goes to rescue her. When she wakes up..."

Before Governor Cao finished speaking, the woman frowned, her eyelids trembled, and she slowly woke up.

Governor Cao hurried forward and asked with a smile: "Girl, are you awake?"

He considered himself amiable and his tone was soft, but he never expected that the girl screamed in fright.

Governor Cao was also startled and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

The woman looked around and her eyes fell on Huo Changxu. Her eyes lit up as if she saw a relative.

She struggled to get up and reached out to hold Huo Changxu's sleeve: "Sir."

Huo Changxu's hands were still bloody, so he couldn't brush her away. He tried slightly to break away, but failed.

She held on quite tightly.

"Girl, you don't have to..."

Before she could say the polite word, the woman's eyes were covered with moisture: "Master, you don't want me anymore?"

Huo Changxu was stunned and choked back his words.

Governor Cao was also stunned and blinked, what do you mean? Not our first acquaintance?

Military Doctor Cao glanced at Huo Changxu. After being briefly shocked, Huo Changxu was relatively calm.

"Girl, this is the first time we meet. We are strangers. How can we... say whether we want it or not? Girl, is it possible that we are confused?"

He glanced at Dr. Cao, who stepped forward and said, "I'm here to take a look."

The woman showed fear: "Ah, who are you? I don't want you to see it, sir, I don't want others to see it!"

Dr. Cao's eyes widened: "I am a doctor. I am here to treat you, not to treat you randomly!"

"Sir..." The woman hid behind Huo Changxu.

Huo Changxu frowned slightly.

Just at this moment, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu arrived.

Huo Changxu's brows widened again - it will be easy to talk about once the eldest brother and sister-in-law arrive.

"Sister-in-law!" Huo Changxu hurriedly asked for help.

Everyone stepped aside automatically to let Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu in.

Yan Ruyu walked closer and took a look at the frightened woman.

The skin is fair, not too thin, the forehead is smooth, the eyebrows are as slender as a crescent moon, the eyes are as dark as a deer, full of fear and anxiety at this time, the lips are red, and the snow-white teeth are biting the red lips.

His fingers grasped Huo Changxu's sleeve tightly, and his nails and knuckles were a little white because of the force.

"What's going on?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Huo Changxu quickly recounted what had just happened, and sighed heavily: "She just woke up, it seems..."

Military doctor Cao took over and said: "It seems that I don't recognize anyone anymore. I only remember the second young master."

Huo Changhe frowned: "You don't recognize him?"

Governor Cao hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, it's true. She woke up just now, and the official asked her to ask. She screamed, as if the official wanted to harm her, and ran towards the second young master."

Yan Ruyu asked: "Girl, don't be afraid, there are no bad people here. What is your name? Where do you belong?"

The woman lowered her head and hid behind Huo Changxu: "Master, if Xiang'er doesn't go with them, Xiang'er will follow the master."

Military Doctor Cao said from the side: "Could it be that she was stimulated and it was the Second Young Master who saved her in a critical moment, so her mind is confused and she only remembers the Second Young Master?"

"When I traveled before, I also met patients who lost their memory. They all happened after being greatly stimulated."

Everyone found it strange, but Yan Ruyu did not find it strange. It was not like she had never seen this kind of thing before. She had seen many cases in her previous life.

"Prefect Cao," Yan Ruyu said, "what do you think the governor should do about this case?"

Governor Cao was still immersed in the surprise that someone could forget everything all at once, so Yan Ruyu suddenly called him.

He came back to his senses and said: "Princess, the second young master just told me about the characteristics of the two perpetrators. I will immediately send people to search for them and try to bring the murderers to justice as soon as possible and find out the matter."

"This woman...should have gone back with the official for questioning, but in this situation..."

Governor Cao was really in a dilemma.

Bring back? I'm not very good at it, and I don't remember anything. It won't help if I take it back.

This woman was injured again, and she is not a prisoner. She cannot be locked up in a prison, but can live at home? This is a woman. If the lady doesn’t nod, how can he dare?

But if you don’t bring it, how can you place it?

Yan Ruyu also saw that he was in trouble: "Sir, how about this? Let's put her in place first and see if she can recover a little. When she recovers, we can ask you questions later, okay?"

Governor Cao couldn't ask for it.

"Just as the princess said."

He readily agreed and said it was easy, but when he saw Huo Changhe's cold eyes, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Is the prince unhappy?

No way? This is a woman, not a man. Why is he unhappy?

Besides, it was the princess who suggested it.

Governor Cao immediately decided to run away!
