Zhou Wenbin looked at the man who was full of grievances and was nearly forty years old, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he could only gently pat Ma Anbang's back like his brother comforted his brother who fell to the ground, as if this would make him feel better.

Finally, after Ma Anbang finally calmed down, Zhou Wenbin began to ask him: "Why is Ma Shoubei like this?" ”

Ma Anbang wiped the snot and tears on his face with his hands, rubbed them on his clothes and replied: "Back to my lord, it is difficult to say anything about my humble position, my lord, please sit down, you sit first, and tell you slowly!" ”

It turned out that after Ma Anbang and Zhu Wuye finished drinking that day, Zhu Wuye saw that Ma Anbang had a little knot in his heart about the case, so he went to Yangzhou Mansion to find Xue Luping the next day, and wanted to talk about the clues of the illegal salt case.

Zhu Wuye's words were a little intense, but he was directly dismissed from the post of city gate official by Xue Luping, and was also sent to Liangcheng by Xue Luping to fill the army, and Ma Anbang was also removed from his official position, but he was not sent to the army.

Ma Anbang, who wanted to go with Zhu Wuye, was persuaded by Zhu Wuye to find a job that frightened him at night, and he could only drink at home all day long to kill his worries during the day!

Zhou Wenbin was furious after hearing this, his whole body trembled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you are the prefect of Yangzhou, you really regard yourself as a prince who is far away from the emperor of the mountain, indiscriminately, just because you don't like it, you can act like this, I will definitely take a good look at him when I return to the court." ”

Ma Anbang shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Yangzhou is not as good as Chang'an, and there are many people who are far away from the emperor of the mountain, you still have to be careful to deal with it, I can only tell you what I know!" ”

Then Ma Anbang began to tell Zhou Wenbin the details of what happened on the day of the illegal salt case, but he didn't say anything about the news given to him by the lord in the capital, as well as the master in the teahouse, he felt that knowing this would make the lord of the Qincha unable to get any benefits.

After Zhou Wenbin studied the whole thing, thought about it a little, and after appeasing Ma Anbang for a few words, he decided to go to the government office to find Xue Luping and ask about Zhu Wuye!

After Ma Anbang saw Zhou Wenbin away, he picked up his saber hanging on the wall from the door, although his martial arts skills were not very high, but his vigilance let him know that someone had been watching him.

But for the safety of this Lord Qincha, Ma Anbang must wait until the other party is gone before he can find the rat hiding in the shadows!

Ma Anbang held a knife in one hand, slowly walked towards the kitchen, gently lifted the curtain with the knife in his hand, and looked left and right, but found no sign of anyone.

After carefully inspecting Ma Anbang in the house, he relaxed his tight heart, and thought in his heart that he might have left, so he threw the knife aside, looked at the unfinished jar of wine, and prepared to finish drinking it.

But at the moment when he was about to sit on the stool, a dark-colored dagger pierced his left chest from behind, and Ma Anbang's slightly vicissitudes of face changed suddenly because of the pain, and he shouted angrily, wanting to turn around and fight back.

He took the jar in his hand and prepared to turn around to give the assassin a look, but before he could turn around, his neck was pierced again, and he completely collapsed.

The man who killed him could only see his back, as well as two bloody daggers in his hand, this person kicked Ma Anbang away, and said as he went out: "It's a pity, I was almost found in the first place!" ”

I saw that after he went out, a dead mouse with a severed head fell from the beam of the kitchen!

......

......

The autumn rain in the eastern border of Jingguo has finally stopped, but a new storm in Yangzhou City is quietly coming!

Zhao Benliu felt very surprised, normally after he cried his father and called his mother, and after scolding people, there would definitely be a jailer to teach him a lesson, but today is really not normal, at least someone should tell him to stop, but there was no sound at all, and the silence gave him the idea of escaping from prison.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard footsteps at the door, someone coming, but not a jailer, someone he had never seen before.

This person is dressed in a very ordinary linen clothes, and his face is extremely ordinary, so ordinary that you will forget him many times you have seen him, which is really inconspicuous.

Zhao Benliu wore shackles, rubbed to the door step by step, and the slightly damp straw on the ground proved that his situation was not very good, and it was too cold after the rain stopped.

Zhao Benliu grabbed the iron railing of the prison door with both hands, and asked with some annoyance: "Do you wait until people are about to freeze to death before you can come?" ”

The man standing outside the cell said expressionlessly: "I'm not from the government, I'm here to save you!" ”

Zhao Benliu's originally angry face is now smiling, it should be a lot more!

Zhao Benliu said happily: "Then you quickly open this prison door for me, hey, I'm suffocated to death!" ”

The man nodded calmly, then took out a key from his back, and after careful comparison, took out a key and inserted it into the lock, and opened it with a "bang"!

Zhao Benliu just wanted to get out of the prison door, and when he raised his feet, he remembered that his hands and feet were still shackled, and he waved his hand, signaling for the person outside the door to come in and unlock him.

The man didn't hesitate, went in directly, and then squatted on the ground, untying Zhao Benliu from the shackles on his feet, Zhao Benliu looked at this person and asked, "Who asked you to save me?" ”

This person stopped the movement in his hand, slowly stood up, and said slowly: "Naturally, it is the person above!" ”

Zhao Benliu noticed that there was something wrong with this person's speech, because when he first acted, the person above said that if you are arrested one day, as long as you keep your mouth shut in prison, someone will naturally protect you, and you must not do anything out of the ordinary.

But the person in front of Zhao Benliu said that he was sent from above to save him, and Zhao Benliu couldn't bear the hardships, so he was a little anxious when this person came just now, and now he thinks about it!

Zhao Benliu just longed to take a step back and talk to this person again, but found that the shackles on his feet were completely entangled, and he could only jump back if he wanted to retreat.

Before he could react, his lower abdomen had already been stabbed by the man, and Zhao Benliu clamped the other party's hand holding the knife with both hands, and didn't dare to let him pull it out again, because as soon as the knife went in and out, half his life was gone.

Seeing that the knife couldn't be pulled out, this person clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it fiercely towards Zhao Benliu's head, and kept hitting Zhao Benliu's thigh with his knee.

Zhao Benliu, who was in unbearable pain, couldn't move his feet at this time, and after his head was smashed a few times, his thigh was already broken.

Zhao Benliu immediately made a decision, and directly pulled this person backwards, in the gap between the two weightlessness, Zhao Benliu deducted the dagger alive in the man's hand, why use the buckle, because the flesh of the man's tiger's mouth has been deducted alive by Zhao Benliu A whole piece of meat, and the tendons in the tiger's mouth have been exposed!

The man didn't care about the pain, grabbed Zhao Benliu's hair with his left hand, and clenched the injured right hand into a fist, and directly smashed it on Zhao Benliu's still bleeding lower abdomen, and then let go of Zhao Benliu with his left hand, like an iron tong, pinched Zhao Benliu's waist, pulled it hard, and even the clothes and flesh, came down with a big piece.

For a while, Zhao Benliu was in unbearable pain, so he could only try to use the shackles on his hand to try to tie the other party's neck, and the man grabbed the shackles on Zhao Benliu's hand with his bloody left hand, he knew that he had to dispose of Zhao Benliu as soon as possible, but he was afraid that after a long time, it would be difficult for him to get out and leave.

So the Mai man touched the dagger that fell to the side with his right hand, and just as he was about to get it, he heard someone coming outside, but Zhao Benliu wanted to hold this person.

The Mai man made a decision immediately, directly let go of the shackles he grabbed with his left hand, stood up and gave Zhao Benliu a hard kick in the injured lower abdomen, and then quickly slipped out of the cell and went in the opposite direction from which the voice came!

Zhou Wenbin and Xue Luping along the way, you and I mocked back and forth, arguing about Ma Anbang and Zhu Wuye, and when the two arrived in front of Zhao Benliu's cell, they were dumbfounded, because they had never seen such a scene.

There was a bloody man lying on the ground, panting in his mouth, bleeding from his lower abdomen, his thighs obviously collapsed, and a large piece of meat had fallen from his waist, and it was sticking to the dirty straw on the ground, which was somewhat terrifying.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Xue Luping still reacted and shouted loudly: "Come and save people, come and save people!" ”

After all, this is the only witness in the case of illegal salt, it may be that Zhao Benliu is greedy and afraid of death, or he really can't die, anyway, the people who were arrested with him that day committed suicide one by one that night!

Just when the jailer who had just arrived carried Zhao Benliu away for treatment, another official hurriedly ran into the prison outside, and said breathlessly: "My lord, come out, come out, something happened!" ”

Xue Luping turned his head and squinted at the person kneeling on the ground, and said with some annoyance: "I didn't see my lord, I was here to deal with things, what kind of panic I looked like, what happened later!" ”

The official took a deep breath and said, "My lord, go and see, Ma Anbang's horse guard is dead!" ”

After Zhou Wenbin listened, he almost fainted, and was supported by the guards on the side, and after he asked again and again, he confirmed that Ma Anbang was indeed dead, and he died in his own home, and he died less than a cup of tea when he left, Zhou Wenbin hurriedly followed out of the prison door and went straight to Ma Anbang's house.

Xue Luping pinched his nose and walked around in the cell where Zhao Benliu lived before, accidentally stepped on Zhao Benliu's piece of meat, and fell to the ground, when he cursed Zhao Benliu, he felt that something was sitting under his buttocks, and he was afraid of something disgusting, so he quickly got up.

He took a closer look at the thing that seemed to be a tether just now, and he asked his subordinates to take the thing, it was a waist card, gold shining, not gold but also plated with a layer of gold, square and very good-looking, he turned the waist card back, but there was a word written on it that made him shocked!

Whether you can really find melons along the vine, no one knows.
