Chapter 17: Sudden death in Baicang Mountain
"Oh no, Bai Canghai has run away, chase after him!" Chen Chunsheng shouted loudly and chased after him.
Officers and soldiers walked into the woods one after another.
"Poor Kou Mo chase, come back quickly." Xu Wenbin shouted.
The officers and soldiers only listened to the orders of the governor, and they still went into the woods and searched everywhere.
"My lord, the enemy does not know the truth and reality, we rushed in, I am afraid that we will encounter accidents, so let's ask them to withdraw their troops." Xu Wenbin said.
The governor hesitated for a moment, then ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
"Lord Xu, where are you going to take these prisoners?" The governor asked.
"First escorted back to Meizhou County for detailed interrogation. Bai Cangshan is the direct commander, I think he must know a lot. Xu Wenbin said.
"Okay, this official will go to the county government with you, the Meizhou bloody case shocked the government and the opposition, and the official also wants to know who is behind the scenes?" The governor said.
"If you are interested, you are welcome. It's just that so far, I don't know where Chincha-sama is? Isn't there a Laimei state? Xu Wenbin said suspiciously.
The governor smiled faintly and said, "Lord Qincha will not make a big deal when he comes to Meizhou, he should be in Meizhou at this time." โ
Xu Wenbin was surprised and asked, "Where did you start with this?" โ
"This official doesn't know very well, you might as well ask that fake Qin if it's clear." The governor said with a wry smile.
"Fake Chincha? Could it be the Blue Dragon Swordsman? Xu Wenbin searched everywhere, but he didn't see the Qinglong swordsman.
"My lord, where did the Qinglong Swordsman go?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"Dugu Daxia has always been a dragon, who knows where he went? Maybe he's gone all the way. The governor said nonchalantly.
Chen Chunsheng knew that the Qinglong Swordsman was a ranger, so he didn't take it seriously.
Xu Wenbin has no bottom in his heart, only the governor has a spectrum in his heart.
Although Bai Cangshan was arrested and brought to justice, the mastermind behind it is still at large, and if you want to find out the real culprit, you must change your strategy. Therefore, the governor and the Qinglong swordsman secretly made a plan to approach Bai Canghai and win his trust, so as to penetrate the heart of the enemy and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. It was no one else who saved Bai Canghai, but the Qinglong Swordsman. The Qinglong swordsman is not only good at swordsmanship, but also one of the best in disguise. The Qinglong swordsman has long been the governor's guest, and the governor is also secretly investigating the Meizhou bloodshed for his own sake.
"The reason why Bai Cangshan guards and steals is actually Bai Canghai's idea, Bai Canghai is directly ordered by his master, he can manipulate Bai Cangshan, the Five Elements Black Demon and the Twelve Phases. In order to expand his strength, Bai Canghai and the Eight King Kongs used tricks to seize the position of the head of the Bagua Gate. All this, the Qinglong swordsman knew everything after a clear investigation and a secret visit. The governor said.
Xu Wenbin suddenly realized when he heard this, and he thought in his heart: "The masked man who rescued Bai Canghai is strong in martial arts, maybe he is the Qinglong swordsman." This may have been the governor's desire to show off himself in front of the cha. It seems that this governor is not an ordinary person, perhaps he has ulterior motives. Either way, I'll have to throw a stone and ask for directions, and I'll have to test it. So he said, "Do you have other arrangements?" Could it be that the Qinglong swordsman and the adult have already had a tacit understanding? โ
"Yes, after the official knew the inside story, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, he entrusted the Qinglong Swordsman to pick up the horse again and find out more information. As for how the old swordsman did it? The official also does not know. It is important for Lord Xu to solve the case, so let's go back to the yamen first. Maybe Lord Qincha has already arrived in Meizhou. The governor said.
Xu Wenbin saw that the governor had left a hand, and he didn't want to ask, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"Whatever? The lower officials also have to thank the adults for saving their lives. Let's go! Let's go to Meizhou together. Xu Wenbin said that he and Chen Chunsheng, Huang Ying and others walked in front of Bai Cangshan and the Five Elements Black Shah, and the governor took a few entourages to follow Xu Wenbin all the way to Meizhou. On the way, the governor wanted to ask for merit in front of the Qin Cha and proposed to try the Meizhou blood case together, but Xu Wenbin was not a person who was keen on fame and fortune, so he readily agreed. When I came to the yamen, I saw three middle-aged people dressed in cloth standing at the door, looking at the recruitment announcement posted at the door.
"Who are you? Why are you standing at the entrance of the yamen? Xu Wenbin asked.
"You are the young county magistrate Xu Wenbin?" One of them, a medium-tall, half-old man with two beards, glanced at Xu Wenbin and asked coldly.
"It's here, I don't know what your Excellency has to teach you?" Xu Wenbin said politely.
"I don't dare to give advice, but I have heard people praise your name along the way, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." The man said.
Xu Wenbin took a closer look at the half-old man, and saw that his heavenly court was full and round, lying on silkworm eyebrows, and his eyes were bright. Listening to the tone of his voice, it seems that he is from the capital.
"Could it be that this person is Lord Chincha? The two middle-aged men next to him are his entourage? Xu Wenbin speculated in his heart.
"Listening to Your Excellency's accent, it seems that you are from the capital, I don't know what Your Excellency is doing in Meizhou this time?" Xu Wenbin said tentatively.
"Yes, I'm from Beijing, and I'm here to see the excitement. I heard that there was a big case in Meizhou, and the person in charge of solving the case was a young man who was both civil and military. The official didn't believe in his ability, so he came to Meizhou in a daze. I heard that the adult has arrested the murderer, and the case will soon be revealed, so I have been waiting for the county office for a long time, how about it? Lord Xu, can you let us go in and see the excitement? The man said sincerely.
Xu Wenbin didn't dare to offend this person, for fear that he was not a good person, so he kept some more eyes.
"This official has always liked to beat around the bush, as long as you have time, you are welcome to join our trial meeting." Xu Wenbin said.
The governor did not get to the bottom of it, because he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to find out the real culprit, he could only use the rivers and lakes to govern the rivers and lakes.
When the group entered the yamen, Xu Wenbin ordered them to be detained separately to avoid collusion. He decided to try the suspects separately, hoping to find a breakthrough in their confessions. The first person to be brought to the court was Bai Cangshan, this person had developed limbs and a simple mind, and on the surface he gave orders, but in fact he was just a pawn of the main culprit. The one who really has the strength and ability is the so-called 'Variety Scholar' Bai Canghai.
"Bai Cangshan, you are the direct commander of the case of thieves and official silver and the arson murder case, tell me how you planned this earth-shattering case?" Xu Wenbin asked majestically.
"My lord, I am also a victim. To tell you the truth, I was originally a chivalrous man, but I was only involved because I listened to my younger brother Bai Canghai's provocation. I was forced to be the magistrate of Meizhou, because my family was controlled by a masked man wearing a mask, and in order to protect my family, I had to make compromises. Bai Cangshan said.
"White Cangshan. You're talking! You are a dignified county magistrate. Why should it be controlled by a charlatan? Are you an ornament? Xu Wenbin deliberately used the method of agitation, and he looked at Bai Canghai to tell the truth as soon as possible.
"Bai Cangshan, this official knows a lot of things about you, so I advise you to recruit them all! so that they may not suffer from flesh and skin. The governor snapped his hands and shouted.
"My lord, the grass people are just a victim, what is the crime? All these conspiracies are good things done by Bai Canghai and the Eight Great King Kongs. Bai Cangshan shirked.
"I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, someone is coming! Thirty rods, see if you are still hard-mouthed? Xu Wenbin shouted. Two rows of servants rushed up, pressed Bai Cangshan down on the bench, and then ruthlessly beat Bai Cangshan with thirty canes.
"Baicang Mountain? Do you recruit or not? Xu Wenbin asked,
Bai Cangshan gritted his teeth in pain and didn't say anything.
Xu Wenbin had no choice but to order the latest research of the yamen to take out the punishment equipment. Tiger chairs, stripping cocoons, clamping sticks, pouring chili pepper water and other punishments were all used, and Bai Cangshan died in pain.
"Bai Cangshan, how is it? It doesn't taste good! I advise you to confess early, you follow your master with all your heart, where is he at this moment? Did you enter the yamen expecting someone to save you? Stop dreaming! Xu Wenbin persuaded.
Bai Cangshan couldn't stand it anymore, and after listening to Xu Wenbin's words, he suddenly became enlightened, and he decided to tell what he knew and tried to make up for it.
"Lord Xu, I know that you are a clean official and a good official, if I tell you everything, can you let me go?" Bai Cangshan asked.
"As long as you truly change from evil to good, I can consider your request. Go ahead! How did you plan it? Xu Wenbin asked.
"Speaking of this bloody case, we have to start with a variety of scholars. My younger brother Bai Canghai is the apprentice of a variety of scholars, who is good at the art of disguise and quite scheming. One day, he came to Meizhou County to tell me a big secret. He said that the top officials in the DPRK and China were all his worshippers. โ
"Who is this person?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"He's calledโah!" Bai Cangshan's face turned pale with an 'ah', and he fell to the ground in a moment. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. There were no signs of anything unusual in the house, and there were no obvious scars on Bai Cangshan's body.
"What the hell is going on? Is it suicide? No way? If you want to commit suicide, why do you have to endure all kinds of criminal laws? Xu Wenbin was puzzled.
