Bai Hongyu looked at Fengruo and Xuan Yi blankly, but Fengruo didn't explain much. After Bai Hongyu came to his senses, he took a pill, and the pain in his body finally eased a little. He stood up tremblingly, about When it was half a cup of tea, I heard a group of people swearing. Bai Hongyu was secretly surprised that Feng Ruo's martial arts were excellent at a young age, and he really didn't know that he was an apprentice taught by that expert.

"My lord, it's ahead. After the last round of siege, Song Meng and the others unabashedly blocked and robbed the official road. The younger one has already asked the internal response, saying that Song Meng and others will still come here today. My lord caught them off guard at this time, and took away the bandits in Guanning Valley. After more than ten years of banditry in Chuzhou, my lord will surely be promoted this time, and I hope you will bring your little one to see the world. The little one is willing to serve the adults all his life!" A skinny man with a yellow complexion complimented a middle-aged man with a big belly flatteringly.

The middle-aged man with a big belly was none other than Wang Baitai, the magistrate of Chuzhou. He had served in office for many years without merit, all because he saw through the officialdom and didn't want to climb up. He was a veritable old fox.He brought the servants to Guan Ninggu this time not for anything else, but to make a break with Song Meng, the local emperor known as Song Xuanfeng.It's not that he wants to be promoted, but he heard from the superior that if he doesn't do anything this year, the prefect of Chuzhou will be replaced by a disciple of a high-ranking official.Although Chuzhou is not as prosperous and prosperous as the cities near the capital, it is better because the emperor is far away from the mountains, and it is farther away from the filthy officialdom.

Wang Baitai thought that he was not a good official, and he hid in this barren place just to live a peaceful life.But seeing that An's life was coming to an end, Wang Baitai became a little anxious, and came to Guan Ninggu to try his luck.

Chuzhou has been plagued by banditry for more than ten years, but Wang Baitai is helpless. It's not that he really can't do anything, but that he wants to live a stable life and doesn't want to fight desperately with Song Meng and others.Therefore, when he was in office, as long as Song Meng and others did not hurt their names, he would just turn a blind eye and close one eye.Often the people who were murdered and robbed were outsiders, and the locals in Chuzhou had known Song Meng for a long time, so they took a long way to hide.It was because of Wang Baitai's inaction that the banditry was so rampant, but Wang Baitai and others didn't know that the ruthless character they were afraid of, Song Meng, had already had his head crushed.

Wang Baitai listened to the flattering words of Master Liu Biao, sighed and said: "Whoever is promoted or not, as long as he can keep this black gauze hat!"

Wang Baitai commanded all the yamen servants to go forward to explore the way, but he and his master followed behind slowly.When passing by Fengruo, he glanced at them a few times because of their outstanding looks, and couldn't help but secretly praised them in his heart: "What a handsome young man, you have an extraordinary bearing all over your body, it's really pleasing to watch !"

A group of yamen servants hurriedly scouted the way ahead, when they saw that Song Meng's neck was broken, and the other ten people were all killed by one blow, their expressions suddenly changed. Report to the king of the palace.

"My lord! It's not good! Song Meng and others were all killed! The murderer's method was extremely brutal. After Song Meng's neck was twisted, the rest of the people were all killed!" I flinched for a moment, the fate of those people was really shocking, the head of the yamen servant did not dare to hide it, so he hastily reported to the magistrate.

"What? Song Meng and others were killed, and the death was tragic? Did you find any clues around?" Wang Baitai immediately suppressed the astonishment that appeared on his face.Although Song Meng and his like are reckless bandits, they are not people who can be crushed to death.If Song Meng died so easily, the banditry in Chuzhou would not have been rampant for decades.

Now that Song Meng died so inexplicably, Wang Baitai couldn't help but thump in his heart.Song Meng was a big stone that weighed on the people of Chuzhou. Although his death was a good thing, Wang Baitai was worried.If Song Meng offends his enemies and kills himself, then everyone will be happy.But if Song Meng didn't offend his enemies, then who and what was the person behind killing Song Meng and others at this moment?

If Song Meng's matter is used properly, it will naturally become an opportunity for him to continue to gain a firm foothold in Chuzhou.

Wang Baitai's thoughts were turning back and forth, and the chief yamen servant at the side saw Wang Baitai's gloomy face, so he didn't dare to be perfunctory at all, so he spoke out his discovery all at once.

"My lord, when I led a group of brothers to explore the road ahead, when I found the bodies of Song Meng and others, I only found a not so obvious rut ​​on the road, indicating that a carriage passed by. Then The subordinates also found a severed arm and a piece of clothing. There were sticky blood stains on the severed arm, which appeared to be fresh injuries, and this piece of clothing may have been left by the murderer."

Wang Baitai did not express any opinion after listening to the words of the head of the yamen servant, but turned to ask the master Liu Biao. "Master, didn't you say that the bandits in Guan Ninggu had an internal response? Where is the internal response?"

"Nei Ying and Song Meng are together. Now that Song Meng and others have been killed, I think that Nei Ying should be gone." Liu Biao couldn't help touching his head in cold sweat when he said this. This time he came to Guan Ning Gu he had guaranteed the prefect a ticket.Although Song Meng and the others were dead, the murderer fled somewhere, which is also a hidden danger.As soon as Liu Biao saw Wang Baitai's gloomy face, when he didn't know what to say, his eyes suddenly fell on the back of Feng Ruo and his party who were drifting away.

Liu Biao immediately realized that if they read correctly when they came, there was a man behind those two handsome young men with disheveled temple hair and blood-stained clothes. What's more, the man had only one arm!Those few people just now must be related to the murder of Song Meng and others. Even if they are not the murderers, they should know some inside information about the murder of Song Meng and others.

Liu Biao hurriedly said: "My lord, this subordinate suddenly remembered something. A man with a severed arm was behind those two handsome gentlemen just now! Those people must be related to the murder of Song Meng and others. Please send me your lord as soon as possible." People go after them, if it is too late, those people might run away!"

Wang Baitai frowned when he heard this, and said decisively: "Old Mr. Cao, hurry up and take someone to stop the carriage that met us just now, detain those people and take them back to the government prison. Hurry up, it depends on God whether you can catch up." Wang Baitai couldn't help sighing as he spoke.

The head of the yamen servant called Lao Caotouer didn't dare to be sloppy when he heard this leaf, so he hurriedly chased Feng Ruo and the others after receiving his order.

Originally, old boss Cao was still worried, fearing that some people who fled in fear of crime would not be able to catch up with him.Who would have thought that the carriage of Feng Ruo and the others was still driving slowly, unaffected at all.Feng Ruo and Xuan Yi had already noticed the commotion behind them, but both of them had unshakable temperaments, and they didn't care what the yamen servants were going to do.

"The carriage in front stopped. The magistrate wants to investigate the case. Please cooperate with me." Old Mr. Cao was originally an arrogant and unruly person, and he had never been so polite to anyone.Originally, Wang Baitai asked Lao Cao to arrest Feng Ruo and the others, but seeing Xuan Yi and Feng Ruo's calm faces, he couldn't say anything disrespectful.Xuan Yi just glanced at it so lightly that Lao Cao felt like a light on his back.

The carriage came to a leisurely stop, both Xuan Yi and Feng Ruo did not move, and Old Cao couldn't help getting the courage to ask someone to pull Xuan Yi and the others out of the carriage.It's just that those yamen servants were blown away by the invisible wind before they got close to the carriage. Old Mr. Cao didn't dare to do it again after suffering a loss, so he just silently asked people to surround the carriage.

"Where does your prefect invite me to wait?" Feng Ruo's mouth curled into a faint smile, and it melted like ice and snow in an instant, making everyone stunned.
