On the official road, two fast horses galloped in, and sitting on the horses were two young men, who looked like they were dressed as if they were masters and servants. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they came to the three-way intersection, the young man who was walking in front of him stopped holding his horse's head. His name is Xu Wenbin, the new champion, and the newly appointed Meizhou County Commander.

"Lord Xu, what's wrong? Is it the wrong way? The young man in the back caught up and asked.

"Xu Fu, we are going to Meizhou, there are two avenues in front, I don't know which one is a shortcut?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"The little one hasn't been to Meizhou, I don't know which direction Meizhou is? My lord, you are knowledgeable and well-informed, and the emperor sent you to Meizhou to take office, so you should know the route to Meizhou. Xu Fu said.

"Meizhou is in the south, we grew up in the north, and we have never dealt with local officials along the way. Why don't we rest here for a while, and ask a passer-by by the way. Xu Wenbin said and jumped off the horse.

"What your lord says is very true." Xu Fu also jumped off the horse.

The two tied their horses to the stump of a tree by the side of the road, sat down under the tree to rest, and ate some dry food by the way.

This Lord Xu is not an ordinary character, don't look at him young, but he is talented and has five cars, especially in solving cases, he is quite inspired, and has the reputation of 'young Bao Qingtian'.

Xu Wenbin has no other hobbies, he likes to read some books on solving cases on weekdays, especially admiring Di Renjie and Bao Longtu's talent for solving cases. He is determined to follow Bao Longtu's example to go to a remote place to be a seven-pin county magistrate and show his lifelong ambition.

The emperor also seemed to want to assess Xu Wenbin's true talent and learning, so he sent him to Meizhou to be a county magistrate and investigate the "Meizhou Bloody Case" that shocked the government and the public.

Xu Wenbin was under the emperor's order, and with Xu Fu, who had grown up together, the two rushed all the way to Meizhou.

The two of them traveled all the way, and none of them went to visit the governor and prefect along the way. It took seventeen or eighteen days to come to this three-way intersection.

"In the past, when the prince went to seek immortals, he only wanted to go to nine days; Only seven days in the mountains, that knows the world for hundreds of years. - "An old Taoist priest riding a donkey came from the road on the left side of the south side to sing a song.

Xu Wenbin immediately stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, and asked politely: "May I ask the chief, which road is closer to Meizhou?" ”

The old man stopped, carefully looked at the young man in front of him, but saw him: the heavenly court was full, the earth pavilion was round, there was a righteous aura between his eyebrows, and he spoke softly and elegantly, and he knew that it was extraordinary at a glance.

Xu Wenbin also glanced at the Taoist chief, but saw: the crane has a childish face, is in good spirits, wears a gray Taoist robe, carries a three-foot Longquan sword at his waist, and holds Buddha dust in his hand, either a god or a person who has attained the Tao.

"Seeing that the donor is not an ordinary young man, may I ask, is the donor going to Meizhou to do business or take office?" The old Taoist priest asked suddenly.

Xu Wenbin was stunned when he heard this, they were so disguised that the old Taoist priest actually broke the word. It seems that this veteran is not an ordinary person.

"The two of us went to Meizhou to do business, because it was the first time we went there, we didn't know the route, so we asked each other." Xu Wenbin bowed and said.

"The donor's heavenly court is full and the earth pavilion is round, and he will definitely be a rich and noble person in the future. Maybe it's inconvenient for the donor to explain his identity, the mountains don't turn around, and we will meet again in the future. Meizhou takes the left avenue, and you can arrive in two days. That's all the poor said, and he took his leave. The old man said that he walked on the song again.

"The world says that the gods are good, or the fame can't be forgotten, where will the princes be now? After death, the grass is gone......"

"Get on the horse and go to Meizhou." Xu Wenbin said that he would untie the reins, step on the horse, and whip it violently, and the horse galloped along the official road on the left.

"Wait for me, sir." Xu Fu hurried and chased all the way.

Just walked a short distance, only to see a team of people coming in front, escorting an official sedan chair and a carriage.

When Xu Wenbin saw it, he knew that it was not small, and he wanted to dodge, but who knew that the horse was like a wild horse that had escaped, and when he was galloping, he startled the official sedan chair.

When the driver saw this, he hurriedly grabbed the reins, but the horse did not obey the call, and raised his front hooves, and the carriage almost overturned.

The people in the sedan chair were taken aback, with a belly of fire in their hearts, and they were worried that there was no place to vent, someone alarmed him, and he didn't feel angry, and opened the sedan curtain to see Xu Wenbin's master and servant, and shouted: "What are you two doing?" Dare to alarm this official, I think you two did it on purpose, Ma Bao, give me a good lesson to these two guys who don't know the height of the sky. ”

The person in the sedan chair gave an order, and Ma Bao took a few wolf-like family members to pick up the guys in their hands and force Xu Wenbin and Xu Fu to come.

"My lord, we are just in a hurry to disturb your lordship, we are unintentional, please forgive me. Xiaosheng apologizes to the adults here. Xu Wenbin got off the horse and pleaded guilty.

"Who are you two? Where are you in a hurry? Say! The man in the sedan chair shouted.

"Our brothers are businessmen, and we heard that there is a good camellia in Meizhou, so we were afraid of missing the opportunity, so we hurried away." Xu Wenbin said inconspicuously.

"You're going to Meizhou? You're from the capital? The person in the sedan chair looked at Xu Wenbin and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it, he was puzzled in his heart, and felt that the two of them did not look like business people.

"Could it be that the two of them are here for the Meizhou bloodbath? I heard that the new county magistrate is called Xu Wenbin, and he is a case solver, is it the young man in front of him? I'll test it. The man in the sedan chair decided to get to the bottom first.

"Ma Bao, let them go." The person in the sedan chair screamed, and Ma Bao immediately ordered the family to stop.

"My lord, are they cheaper like this?" Marble asked.

"You have to be forgiving and forgiving, and besides, they didn't mean to, it's important to hurry, let's go!" The man in the sedan chair said.

Ma Bao took his subordinates and carried two truckloads of supplies and drove away behind the sedan chair.

Xu Wenbin squatted down and looked at the rut that was pressed deeply, and suddenly became suspicious.

"Who is this great official? What's in the car? Why is it heavy? I heard that Meizhou's official silver was stolen, could it be a theft by the guards? This big official came from Meizhou, what was the purpose of his visit to Meizhou? Xu Wenbin wanted to catch up and find out, but he was afraid of startling the snake.

"My lord, let's go!" Xu Fu said.

Xu Wenbin came back to his senses and got on the horse and rushed to Meizhou, he had to understand the situation before making a conclusion.

The two horses galloped to Meizhou and came to the woods five miles away from Meizhou City, when suddenly four masked men jumped down from the trees, and they blocked the way with bright broadswords in their hands.

When Xu Wenbin saw this scene, he didn't know what to do for a while? He jumped off his horse, bowed his hand to several masked men, and said politely: "A few strong men, we are poor people who are in a hurry, and we have no extra money on us, only a little broken silver, so take it and buy a pot of wine to drink!" With that, he took out five taels of silver from his body and handed it over respectfully.

The leader took the silver and shook it, and said with a smile: "This little money is called Hanako?" you! With that, he kicked Xu Wenbin to the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Fu rushed forward desperately, helped Xu Wenbin up, and asked with concern, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Several masked people heard Xu Fu call his lord, glanced at each other, and asked, "You are the newly appointed Meizhou County Commander?" Why this dress? Do you know whose territory Meizhou is? Do you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? ”

Xu Wenbin was shocked when he heard this: "It seems that these masked people came prepared and were bribed. The Meizhou bloody case is full of suspicions, the mastermind behind this scene must not be an ordinary figure? Could it be the official I met on the road? Xu Wenbin was not sure for a while, but there is no doubt that the Meizhou bloody case is related to the government.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xu is a newcomer, he is not familiar with the place, and there is a lack of helpers around him, I think you are not people who have lost their conscience, it is better to return to the official and seek an errand in the county government. I wonder what you think? Xu Wenbin asked.

"The surname Xu, don't be coy here, people in your official mansion have always had different hearts. The four of us brothers also collect money**, don't blame us for being ruthless under Jiuquan. Give it to me, brethren! Don't leave your mouth alive. The leader shouted.

The four masked men approached step by step, and Xu Wenbin and Xu Fu ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. As soon as he walked a short distance, he was intercepted by a masked man.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our two brothers have no grievances with you, why are they all killed? Who are you under your command? Say? Even if our brother dies, we can't die so inexplicably, at least we have to know who harmed us? Xu Wenbin knew that he would not escape death, so he simply stood where to ask the reason.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, this is the rule of our people. Lord Xu, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being smart. The leader raised his knife and slashed at Xu Wenbin. Xu Wenbin didn't dodge, he closed his eyes and waited for the arrangement of fate.

At this moment, a white shadow floated in, swinging the sword to separate the big sword at the head.

"Who are you? Why meddle? The leader asked in amazement.

"I'm a passer-by, and I happened to pass by here and saw a few of you bullying a weak scholar who was helpless, and I came to meddle in my business. The so-called road is uneven and draws a knife to help! The young man in white said.

Xu Wenbin opened his eyes and saw the personable young man in white, he liked it kindly, and when he saw that the young man in white was extraordinary, he had the heart to recruit talents.

The young man in white dealt with the four masked people alone, only to see him jumping and moving his hands quickly, the sword out of the sheath was like a dragon going out to sea, and the sword light and shadow were mixed together. The two sides fought for more than 20 rounds, and the four masked men gradually lost their support, and the leader jumped out of the circle, and with a whistle, the four masked men jumped out of the circle together and walked towards the woods.

The man in white didn't chase after him, inserted the sword into the scabbard, came to Xu Wenbin and asked, "It's okay!" ”

Xu Wenbin looked at the young man in white and was grateful: "The young man saved the lives of our master and servant, and we don't know how to repay it?" Please leave your honorific name and leave a memory for our brother. ”

"My surname is Huang, and my name is Huang Ying. He lives at the West River Ferry in Meizhou. Isn't Childe the newly appointed county magistrate? Huang Ying asked.

"In Xia Xu Wenbin, it is the new county order. This is my family Ding Xu Fu. Xu Wenbin said.
