Xu Wenbin went deep into the tiger's den and dealt with Bai Cangshan's gang, wanting to dig out the behind-the-scenes instructions along the vine, but Bai Cangshan seemed to be aware of it, and he never refused to reveal the slightest news. Xu Wenbin had no choice but to resign himself to fate.

"Master Xu, you are still young and have a bright future, as long as you cooperate with us, we will ensure that you will have a prosperous official fortune and eat and drink spicy food for the rest of your life. What do you think? Have you thought about it? Bai Cangshan asked.

"Lord Bai, it's okay to cooperate, but I must know how hard the backstage is. If I don't have a backer, why should I act with my conscience? The Meizhou bloody case shocked the government and the opposition, and the emperor sent me to Meizhou to solve the case, at least I have to make a show! Even if I can't find the mastermind, I have to arrest a few of those accomplices, do I go back empty-handed? How can I give an account to the emperor? Xu Wenbin was a little embarrassed.

Bai Cangshan also felt that Xu Wenbin had some truth when he heard it. It's just that he doesn't know who to make the scapegoat. Ma Zhenyuan is nominally his father-in-law, but in fact, his wife is just a maid in Mafu. Bai Cangshan took the opportunity of fake death to deceive Ma Zhenyuan to Meizhou, the purpose of which was to let Ma Zhenyuan smuggle the official silver to the master in the capital, so as to get the master's appreciation and rise to the top. Ma Zhenyuan didn't know that Bai Cangshan was fake his death, and when he got the news of his death, he came all the way and couldn't find the body, so he could only wrap some ashes in the only clothes of Bai Cangshan's family and bury them to do a ritual. All this moved Bai Cangshan a lot. However, Bai Cangshan didn't take Ma Zhenyuan in his eyes, he just regarded Ma Zhenyuan as a chess piece.

"Lord Xu, I, like you, are all officials of the imperial court, when I first took office, I only wanted to do things for the court and seek benefits for the people, but we are just a small seven-rank sesame official, even if we have great talents, it is difficult to display our ambitions. Besides, a companion is like a tiger, maybe one day the emperor will be unhappy and find a reason to click us. Only by the big trees can we withstand the wind and rain. Bai Cangshan said.

"What Lord Bai said is very true, but I am now a prisoner, even if you believe me, those brothers of yours will not believe it, my life safety is not guaranteed, how can we talk about cooperation? Besides, you want me to cooperate, what do you need me to do? Xu Wenbin asked.

"I heard that the imperial court sent the minister to Meizhou, and he has already arrived at the prefect's yamen, and it is estimated that he will rush to Meizhou tomorrow. We plan to set up an ambush at Maple Ridge and kill the minister. If you are truly cooperative, you will join us in this operation. Bai Cangshan said with a sly smile.

When Xu Wenbin heard this, he thought in his heart: "Killing the minister of the Qin Mission, it is the crime of beheading, and if you participate in it, you will definitely be responsible." If they do not participate in the operation, they will arouse their suspicions, and when the time comes, not only will there be no hope of solving the case, but they will also be brutally murdered. The matter has come to this point, only one step at a time. I must find a way to get in touch with Chen Chunsheng and Huang Ying, let them go to the government to move rescue troops, set up an ambush in advance in Fengshuling, and take the opportunity to wipe out this group of suspects. To solve the Meizhou bloody case, this is the best time. But how do I get the message out there? It would be nice if Xin Liu, they were my people! Xu Wenbin thought about it and was at a loss.

"Lord Xu, have you thought about it?" Bai Cangshan asked.

"Alright! Now that I'm on your ship, I have no choice but to consider myself unlucky. However, the gentleman has a word first, I, Xu Wenbin, am just a useless scholar, and I can't do anything like fighting. I can only participate with you. Xu Wenbin said.

"As long as Lord Xu is willing to participate in it, we can leave the matter of killing people and setting fires to us." Xin Liu said.

"Xin Liu, since we are in the same boat, you should tell me what happened to the Twelve Phases? Are you officials twelve? Are you the leader of the Twelve? Xu Wenbin asked.

"Don't hide it, I'm the leader of the twelve, I belong to the cow, called Xin Chou, just because the word 'ugly' is not good, I changed my name to Xin Niu, also called Xin Liu. Lord Bai gave us the names of the twelve catches, named according to the twelve zodiac signs, so they are called the twelve phases. Xin Liu said.

"So, the thief official silver is related to Lord Bai and you twelve?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"Not bad! We were originally heroes in the green forest, and what we did was to rob our homes. Lord Bai has always been our leader, and it is incumbent upon us to serve him. Xin Liu said unabashedly.

"According to what you say, Lord Bai used to be a thief of the Green Forest?" Xu Wenbin then asked.

"It's—it's—it used to be." Xin Liu saw that he had missed his mouth, and he regretted it a little, and his words were hesitant.

Xu Wenbin understands a little, but he still has many things that he doesn't understand.

"Historically, the government and the robbers have been incompatible, they are two completely different concepts. Why did a green forest thief in Baicang Mountain hook up with the government? Is there much that is not visible between them? This official is not an ordinary person, why would he choose a robber who is indiscriminate to be the Meizhou county magistrate? ......" Xu Wenbin always can't guess the mystery.

"Lord Bai, how did you become the county magistrate of Meizhou? Did you buy it with money? Xu Wenbin asked suddenly.

"Joke! A little seven-pin sesame official still needs to spend money to buy it? Even the official titles of governor, governor, and prefect are not uncommon to me. What I want is to wear gold and silver, eat and drink spicy food, and be unrestrained, what's so great about being an official? Trembling is like sitting on pins and needles. Bai Cangshan didn't care.

"Lord Bai is really living a chic life, admiring and admiring. It's a pity that I, Xu Wenbin, am a commoner, and there are no high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court; If you have a hard backstage, how can it fall to such a point? Alas————" Xu Wenbin said with a long sigh.

"Master Xu is young and promising, as long as he is willing to cooperate with me, he will have a bright future in the future. My relative is a big official who values talents, and as long as he sincerely does things for him, he will definitely not be treated badly. Bai Cangshan said.

"Then it's up to Brother Bai. It was late at night, and I was a little sleepy, so I had Lord Lao Bai arrange a place for me to stay. Xu Wenbin yawned.

Seeing that Xu Wenbin was tired, Bai Cangshan instructed Xin Liu to take the twelve phases to send Lord Xu to rest, and told them to protect Lord Xu well at night.

Xin Liu and the others obeyed, and immediately took Xu Wenbin to the east wing to rest, and the twelve phases stood outside the door and took turns on duty.

Xu Wenbin lay on the bed, thinking of tomorrow's actions, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

"If the news can't be spread, Lord Qincha will be more and less lucky tomorrow, and I will become an accomplice at that time. What to do? There are twelve phases guarding the outside in turn, and it is almost impossible to escape. Is that how they succeeded? No way! I had to find a way to get out. Xu Wenbin waited quietly, the guards outside did not relax, Xin Liu, Bingwu, Jiachen, Gengshen four groups, each group of three people, every other hour to change shifts, very punctual. Xu Wenbin saw that it was difficult to escape from the clutches, so he had to pretend to be sick, he screamed that his stomach hurt, and he rolled on the bed. At this moment, suddenly a black shadow floated by, and Xin Liu and the others all fell. Xu Wenbin fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, he found himself in a remote place.

"Lord Xu, I've made you suffer." The Blue Dragon Swordsman said.

"Who are you? Why save me? Xu Wenbin asked.

"The old and decrepit green dragon swordsman has been helping adults find the murderer? Didn't you hear Chen Chunsheng talk about me? The Blue Dragon Swordsman asked.

Xu Wenbin was overjoyed when he heard this: "The hero came at the right time, I have already mastered many clues about the Meizhou bloody case, and now I am only one step away from finding out who is behind the scenes." Bai Cangshan is not dead, that Variety Scholar is not the real Variety Scholar Xiao Zhenbei, he is Bai Canghai, Bai Cangshan's twin brother. The two brothers turned out to be from the green forest and were bought by a big official of the imperial court. This official may not be an ordinary person, even Ma Zhenyuan, a second-class member of the imperial court, is also a pawn in his hands. Senior, send me to the house just now, I can't leave Baicang Mountain, I want to use Baicang Mountain to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. But since you're here, I'd like to ask you a favor. Tomorrow, Bai Cangshan and his gang are going to kill the minister in Maple Ridge, Bai Cangshan wants to pull me into the water, I want to plan and work with you to kill them all. Hero, the matter is urgent, send me back to the house quickly, and you immediately gather people to set up an ambush on Maple Ridge. Meizhou is short of troops, so you will take my seal letter to the governor Yamen to transfer troops. Don't miss the opportunity and come again, go quickly! ”

The Qinglong swordsman also felt that it was a good opportunity when he heard it, so he had to do what Lord Xu said, and sent Lord Xu back to the house with light skills, and came to the place agreed with Huang Ying, and told Huang Ying about Lord Xu's plan, Huang Ying admired Lord Xu's courage, and fell in love in his heart.

"Old swordsman, I'll go to the governor's yamen to move the rescue soldiers, and you go to the county yamen to find Master Shang. Chunsheng is in the county office, and Master Shang will definitely listen to your words. Huang Ying said and left.

"Wait, it's not okay for you to move the rescue soldiers without evidence and without a license, this is Lord Xu's handwritten blood letter and sealed letter, if you take it to the governor to show it, you will naturally send troops to rescue Lord Qincha." The Blue Dragon Swordsman said.

Huang Ying took the letter and the seal letter in her arms, slipped away, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye. The Qinglong swordsman left the woods, came to the Meizhou Yamen, and told the instructions of the county commander, Master Shang was still hesitating when he heard it, and Chen Chunsheng agreed.
