When the young man in white saw that Lord Xu promised him, he didn't stay long, he arched his hand and walked away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Wenbin asked everyone to go down to rest, Xu Fu was not at ease, he and Bingwu and Gengshen quietly stayed outside the study and took turns on duty.

The next day, Xu Wenbin got up early in the morning and instructed Xu Fu to call Master Shang, and soon after, the young man in white also appeared in the yamen.

Xu Wenbin saw Master Shang's scarlet eyes, and said distressedly: "Master, I have worked hard for you." I stayed up all night last night, and how many copies of the list and reward announcement were written? ”

"More than 20 copies, it is estimated that one can be posted at every intersection in Meizhou City. My lord, this is a draft script, please take a look at it. Master Shang said and handed it over.

Xu Wenbin opened it and looked at it, full of praise.

"Xu Fu, you and Bingwu go to the city to post the list, by the way, find out the news, if someone signs up or unveils the list, immediately bring him back to the yamen." Xu Wenbin said.

"Subordinates obey." The two took the list and the announcement and left.

"Shaoxia, accompany us to the western suburbs, Xin Liu and Jia Chen are still waiting for us there." Xu Wenbin said.

"Your Excellency, you go first, and I'll arrive later." The young man in white said.

"Could it be that the young man has something to do?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"Yes, I have a friend who can be literate and martial, and I would like to ask him to come and assist your lordship. This friend of mine is arrogant by nature, and ordinary people don't want to move him. The young man in white said.

Master Shang looked at the young man in white, who was born white and tender, and spoke delicately, like a girl's family, and couldn't help asking: "Listening to my brother's accent, it seems that he is from Meizhou, I don't know where the little brother lives with his surname?" ”

"My name is Huang Ying, and I live in Huangjiapo, Nantang Village, Meizhou. I have a cousin named Chen Chunsheng, who is also from Meizhou, and his kung fu is not under me. Now that adults are employing people, I want to ask him to help. Huang Ying said.

Master Shang listened and said: "I have been to Nantang Village once, it is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. There is an old dart master named Huang Biao in Nantang Village, I heard that he has a good kung fu, I wonder if the younger brother knows? ”

"He is my father, and Chen Chunsheng is my senior brother." Huang Ying said.

"Is the old dart master in good health?" Master Shang asked.

"TOEFL, Daddy's body is still strong. How did Master Shang know his father? Huang Ying was a little puzzled.

"Alas, it's a long story, when I came back from the Xiu exam, I met robbers on the way, but fortunately I was spared by the help of Master Huang Lao. When the old dart master heard that I was from Meizhou, he was very happy and invited me to Huangjiapo. During the banquet, the two of us talked very closely, and we also worshipped brothers with different surnames. Master Shang said.

"You are the Shang Xiucai who is full of wealth but has no talents, I once heard my father talk about it. Uncle, the little nephew has apologized to you. Huang Ying bowed as she spoke.

"Virtuous nephews are exempt from courtesy, and those who don't know are not guilty." Master Shang said.

Huang Ying went, and Xu Xianling, Master Shang and Geng Shen rushed to the western suburbs and came to the ruins, where Xin Liu and Jia Chen were already waiting.

"Xin Liu, was there anything unusual last night?" Xu Xianling asked.

"Master, it was very quiet here last night, and there wasn't even a ghost." Xin Liu said.

Xu Xianling was not surprised when he heard it, he knew in his heart that even if there were ghosts, they were those who pretended to be ghosts. They knew that someone was haunting the ruins, and of course they did not dare to show their faces.

Xu Xian ordered the monk to come to the ruins to look around, and there were only ashes in the broken bricks and broken tiles, and nothing else.

"Xin Liu, this ruin is hundreds of square meters, do you know how many families there are?" Xu Xianling asked.

There are three or four families, to say the least. Lord, these brick walls are clearly outlined, and you can see how many farmers there are at a glance. Xin Liu said.

"That's right, there are three or four families, but why did they turn to ashes overnight? Did they provoke whom? Xin Liu, you are the head catcher in Meizhou, have you ever been to the scene after the incident? Did you find any clues? Did you find any skeletons or charred corpses at the scene? Xu Wenbin asked.

Xin Liu listened, and didn't know how to answer for a while. After the incident, they and Ma Zhenyuan, a senior official of the imperial court, once inspected the scene together and found more than a dozen charred corpses, including adults, children, men and women. Because of the unbearable situation, Master Ma ordered to find a place nearby to bury it. "I wonder if these circumstances are important? Can you tell the truth? The adults asked me, if I didn't say it and let the other catchers say it quickly, Lord Xu would definitely suspect that my motives were not pure. What am I going to do? To say or not to say? If it is said that trouble comes from the mouth, perhaps tonight someone will be plotted; If I don't say it, Lord Xu will be suspicious of me. Xin Liu thought about it and was undecided.

"Xin Liu, have you thought about it? If you tell me about the situation at the scene after the crime, maybe I will find some clues from it. Xu Wenbin urged.

Xin Liu secretly glanced at Xu Wenbin and found that Master Xu was looking at him with a majestic face, and Master Shang was also waiting for his answer.

"My lord, after the incident, we came to the scene and found only a dozen corpses, all of them charred, and we couldn't tell who they were. Because the corpses are prone to decay, Master Ma told us to find a place to bury them. That's the case. ”

Xin Liu pondered for a moment and said.

"Master Ma? How did you know about the tragedy in the western suburbs? Did someone report the crime or did Master Ma know about it in advance? Xu Wenbin asked.

"It was a villager near the western suburbs who came to report the crime." Xin Liu said.

"Where do the villagers live? DID YOU KNOW? Xu Wenbin couldn't wait to ask.

"It seems to be a backer one mile away from the western suburbs, called Li Sansi, who usually makes a living by hunting." Xin Liu said.

Xu Wenbin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to his master: "This person may be an eyewitness, he is the key person in our case, let's go and visit." ”

"It's okay to go to the meeting, but I don't know if this person is alive or dead now? Maybe he was killed and killed. Master Shang said.

"Xin Liu, lead the way." Xu Wenbin shouted.

Xin Liu agreed and walked ahead.

A group of people came to Gushantun, where there is only one grass house, four rows and three rooms, very simple.

Xu Wenbin was the first to walk into the bamboo fence, and suddenly, a big yellow dog pounced.

Xin Liu stepped forward and waved his knife in front of Lord Xu.

The people in the house heard the movement outside and walked out tremblingly, Xu Wenbin took a closer look, but it turned out to be an old white-haired old woman.

"Hello, auntie. We are from Meizhou, and we will ask you about a person, his name is Li Sansi. Xu Wenbin said with a pleasant face.

"What? You hit people? Hit three times? The old lady asked, tilting her head with her ears tilted.

Xu Wenbin saw that the eldest lady was old and her hearing was not good, so he had to approach and say loudly word by word.

"Oh, you look for someone, think twice. He was my child, and he went up to the mountains to hunt. Sit down first, think about it for a while, and you'll come back for lunch. The old lady said.

Xu Wenbin and Master Shang had no choice but to sit down and wait.

The old lady had bad ears and eyes, so she fumbled her way to the kitchen, perhaps to prepare a meal for the guests.

About an hour later, Li Sansi came back with a hare, and he was astonished to see four or five people from the yamen sitting in the house.

"You are Li Sansi?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"Yes! I'm Li Sansi. I wonder why you have come to see me? Li Sansi asked.

"Listen to the head arrester Xin Liu, after the bloody case in the western suburbs, did you go to Yamen to report the case? How did you find out about this? Have you ever seen the murderer? Xu Wenbin asked.

Li Sansi lowered his head in contemplation, and he recalled what he had seen and heard on his trip to the western suburbs that night.

"That night, Ma Lao Wu in the western suburbs asked me to go for a drink, but I didn't go in time because my mother was unwell. After settling my mother to sleep, I hurried to the western suburbs, just walked a short distance, saw five or six people carrying heavy things to the mountain forest of the mountain, I felt curious, quietly followed behind, until I came to the mountain. The men poured their things into the wagon, and all I could hear was a rattling sound, and I looked closely: Oh my God! It turned out to be all real money, silver jewelry and stuff. Suddenly, a person asked, "Chief, all the things in the western suburbs have been transported, what should those people do?" "Kill, kill, kill! Not a single one is left. The leader wore a mask, and spoke in a loud voice.

"What if someone finds the body and pursues it?" The man then asked.

"A fire burned, the corpse was destroyed, and there was no. Bai Cangshan's family was sent to death in vain, who can help me? The leader said.

"Leader, the Meizhou bloody case is too big, I'm afraid that the upper authorities will track it down, and when the time comes, we will be empty of people and money, so let's let go of the people in the western suburbs! They have helped us to do many things, both without credit and with hard work. The man said.

"Because they know so much, they have to die. You can rest assured! The sky fell and the earth followed. Our backstage official residence is a good product, even the emperor is afraid of him, not to mention those small fish and shrimp? Go ahead! We have no bad seeds in the Bagua Gate. The leader said.

Those black-clothed men obeyed their orders, they left the mountains and forests and went straight to the western suburbs, and in less than an hour, they saw a raging fire burning in the western suburbs. I knew that Ma Lao Wu had an accident, in order to avoid suspicion and avenge Ma Lao Wu, I had to come to Yamen to report the case. That's the case, my lord, you must avenge Ma Lao Wu and them, and arrest the murderer as soon as possible. Li Sansi said with a sad look on his face.
