"You are the newly appointed Meizhou County Commander? Why this dress? Huang Ying was puzzled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The official silver was stolen, Bai County's order died bizarrely, the master died tragically for no reason, the yamen caught fire, and the farm was reduced to ashes overnight, this case shocked the government and the opposition, the court sent a messenger to come, and the messenger disappeared for no reason, I don't know if he is dead or alive? All this is no accident, there must be a great conspiracy in it. I think this case is intertwined, there must be eyeliner in the capital, if there is a lot of fanfare, I am afraid that as soon as I get out of the capital, I will encounter accidents. So, the two of us modified the microline, but I didn't expect to be discovered, if it wasn't for the brothers who arrived in time, the two of us wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow. My brother is young, and his kung fu is so good, he is really a rare talent, so it is better to stay and help me. Xu Wenbin's words were full of anticipation.

"I appreciate the kindness of my lord. We'll talk about that later. If you are a good officer, I will obey my orders at any time; If you are a corrupt official, I will take your head at any time. Say goodbye, so you can do it yourself. Huang Ying said and floated away.

Looking at the back of Huang Ying's departure, Xu Wenbin felt a sense of loss in his heart.

"My lord, let's go! It's getting late. Xu Fu urged.

Xu Wenbin turned over on his horse, whipped violently, and galloped away.

Xu Fu hurried to catch up with Xu Wenbin.

After about a cup of tea, the two came to Meizhou City and dismounted, leading the horses slowly.

There is no yamen patrolling on the streets, only a gang of ruffians bullying the common people unscrupulously. Some of the shops on the streets are closed, and some are deserted.

"My lord, I'm hungry and tired, so I might as well eat something first." Xu Fu consulted.

"Look at this mess, how can you have the heart to eat, let's go! Go to the Yamen and have a look. Xu Wenbin's expression was serious.

When I came to the crossroads, I saw a white-haired old man falling to the ground, crying and wiping away tears.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Xu Wenbin stepped forward to help the old man up and asked with concern.

The old man raised his eyes to look at Xu Wenbin and sighed: "Alas, what a sin! Do evil! Since the Meizhou bloodbath, the people in Meizhou City have not had a day of stability. Those yamen catchers have all turned into shrunken turtles, and they don't care about what happens on the street. There is no county order, no master, no fast catch, and those ruffians are not making a fuss? We ordinary people are only oppressed, young man, you are not a local! It's not peaceful here, and I advise you to leave as soon as possible. The old man persuaded.

"Uncle, don't be afraid! We are specialized in dealing with bad guys, this is the new county magistrate Lord Xu, who will make decisions for the people. Xu Fu said.

The old man turned from worry to joy when he heard this, glanced at Xu Wenbin carefully, shook his head and said, "You are so young, you don't look like an official, don't be joking." ”

"Uncle, I am indeed a newcomer to Meizhou County, and I hope that the uncle will help me a lot." Xu Wenbin said with a serious look.

"Are you really a prefectural magistrate? Why are you here now? We've been looking forward to it for a long time, Lord Xu, you have to make decisions for us. The old man looked excited.

"Don't worry! Uncle, since I am here, I will definitely make decisions for you. You tell everyone, tell them not to be afraid, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is justice, and the door of the county government is open to the people at any time. The old man burst into tears.

"Uncle, don't make a noise in advance, wait for me to go to the yamen to settle down, and then you will come to complain." Xu Wenbin advised.

The old man nodded tearfully.

"Uncle, where is the yamen? There is a lot of work ahead for you to lead the way. Xu Wenbin said.

"Good! Follow me. The old man said and walked ahead.

Xu Wenbin and Xu Fu followed the old man around the two streets to the county office, and when they entered the gate, they saw that the county office was empty and quiet.

"This is the Meizhou County Ya, why is it so deserted? Where have all the people gone? Xu Wenbin muttered to himself.

"Since Bai Xian Ling died, the yamen caught fire for no reason, Bai Xian Ling's wife, son and daughter were burned to death, maybe the ghost of the injustice is not gone, and the yamen is haunted at night, and it turns out that those who live in the yamen have left the county government for self-protection." The old man explained.

"I see. Uncle, since you are here, go in and sit down, I still have a lot of things to ask you for. Xu Wenbin said politely.

"The old and decrepit grass people, I don't know a single word in Douda, I only know that Bai County's family died strangely, the official silver was lost, and this haunted thing is also a bit strange." The old man said.

When Xu Wenbin heard this, he said excitedly: "Uncle also thinks these things are strange? It's nice to feel this way, but tell me what's wrong? ”

"I don't know, one of my neighbors told me about these feelings." The old man said.

"What's his name? What is it for? Can you bring me to see me? Xu Wenbin couldn't wait to ask.

"His name is Shang Xiucai, and he reads poetry and books, but unfortunately his luck is bad and his fame is hopeless." The old man then gave a brief introduction to Shang Xiucai's situation.

Xu Wenbin was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought: "This time I came to Meizhou to lack a master who knows the roots, if Shang Xiucai is willing to give in, wouldn't it be a great thing?" Shang Xiu is a local, with his assistance, why worry about the case not being solved? ”

"Uncle, there is just a lack of a master in the yamen, you go back and tell him, tell him to come to the yamen tomorrow to report, I want to learn about the situation from him." Xu Wenbin said.

"If Shang Xiu is willing to come, of course it will be the best. It's just that he has a strange temper and an arrogant temperament, and Bai County once asked him to come out of Meizhou, but he refused. This Shang Xiucai's family is poor, but he is willing to be poor, writing and painting all day long, entertaining himself. He has a nickname called 'Rotten Xiucai', and some people call him 'Lazy Xiucai'. The old man said.

"If you are sincere, you will come to visit." Xu Wenbin said.

The old man didn't expect the new county commander to be so anxious, and he was very moved, so he took Xu Wenbin and went straight to Shang Xiucai's house.

When he came to the door, the old man announced, Shang Xiucai walked out of the door, saw a young man, smiled indifferently and said, "There are friends from afar, don't you say it?" ”

"Xiucai, this is the new Lord Xu, who just arrived in Meizhou and rushed over to see you before entering the yamen." The old man said.

Xu Wenbin stepped forward to give a salute, made a brief self-introduction, and explained his intention.

Shang Xiucai listened and said lightly: "My lord, I'm really sorry, your kindness is appreciated by the people." The grass people are shallow and overwhelmed by the heavy responsibilities, so please ask the adults to be smart. ”

"Brother Shang, don't shirk, I'm still a young man, there are many things I have to ask you for, I have the emperor's order, I don't dare to slack off, the Meizhou bloody case will not be solved for a day, and I will not be able to sleep and eat for a day. The eldest brother is a cultural person and a local, so I must help with this favor, please. Xu Wenbin's words were earnest.

"I'm just a lazy showman, a bad showman, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The humble house is simple, there is nothing to entertain, adults or please go back! Shang Xiucai gave an eviction order.

Xu Wenbin knew that it would be useless to stay any longer at this moment, so he had no choice but to leave.

On the way back to Yamen, Xu Wenbin felt heavy.

The next day, Xu Wenbin posted a recruitment list in every conspicuous place in Meizhou City, and there were more than a dozen people who came to apply, but there was no ideal candidate.

In the evening, Xu Wenbin prepared a gift and took Xu Fu to Shang Xiucai's house.

"Big brother, take the liberty of disturbing, please don't be surprised. I know it's a bit abrupt, but it's also a last resort. Now, the yamen is in need of a talent like the eldest brother, please ask the eldest brother to help the younger brother for the sake of the younger brother's thirst for talent. The younger brother won't force you, but the eldest brother can't bear to see the people of Meizhou being bullied all day long? Seeing those innocent dead become lonely ghosts? The younger brother is not talented, in the past, Liu Bei asked Kong Ming to come out of the mountain three times, and the younger brother was willing to ask four or five times until the eldest brother agreed. Xu Wenbin said sit down and don't leave.

Shang Xiucai never expected that the new county magistrate would be so young and so serious in his work.

"Lord Xu, please go back! Master Meizhou is not easy to be, and my ability is limited. Besides, this Meizhou City is no better than other counties, there are too many disadvantages, and it is advisable to use fierce medicine. The Meizhou bloody case is extraordinary, with many suspicious points, a wide range of involvement, and many dangers, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death. Shang Xiucai had no choice but to tell the truth.

Xu Wenbin understood in his heart when he heard this, he stood up and said: "I, a northerner, came all the way to Meizhou, what is the picture?" Don't you want to solve this case one day earlier, give an explanation to the people of Meizhou, and let the people of Meizhou live a peaceful life one day earlier? Since the eldest brother was not happy and retreated, the younger brother did not dare to force it. This is the younger brother's heart, please smile at the eldest brother. Xu Wenbin said that he put the gift box on the table, turned around and left.

"Lord Xu, please stay. I think the adult is a good official, so I no longer hesitate. My lord is so righteous and awe-inspiring for the people of Meizhou, how can I be indifferent? Adult's time is precious, I won't leave you, give me a day, I still have some personal matters to do. Shang Xiucai stood up and said.

"Alright! That's a certainty. Xu Wenbin was overjoyed.

"The first step is finally successful, and then he has to recruit the head catcher and catch fast, the catch is quick and easy to find, and the head catcher has to choose a civil and military all-rounder. It would be great if Huang Ying, a young man in white, was willing to help! On the way back to Yamen, Xu Wenbin pondered all the way.
