Episode 12 recap: Wang Hai was falsely accused of disrupting the magic formation.
Brother Bao apologizes to the elders, admitting that it was his lack of vigilance that led to the situation. Wujiu hurriedly went to the ancestral hall and informed the mayor and the elders that Wang Hai's body had been found. Furthermore, it was revealed that Zhu Meng's death was not due to alcohol poisoning. He must have known the truth about Wang Hai's death. The man who spoke up hastily claimed that it was the backlash of the magic formation that caused the deaths, confusing everyone's thoughts. The villagers began discussing Wang Hai's death, blaming it all on his departure, which led to a series of incidents in Taoyuan Village. The elders demanded an explanation from the security team, as public opinion mattered and they needed to satisfy the people.
At this moment, Fan Wu Jiu rushed in and said that Wang Hai's body had been found, suspecting that Zhu Meng was killed to silence his knowledge of Wang Hai's death. Another man emphatically stated that it was the backlash of the magic formation that brought divine punishment upon them. The mayor then stepped forward and declared that both Zhu Meng and Wang Hai died due to the curse of the magic formation, urging the security team to appease the crowd. Just as Fan Wu Jiu was about to retort, Brother Bao gave him a signal, pulled him outside, and told the villagers that the two deaths were caused by the magic formation, advising them to stay calm and everything would be fine.
On the way home, Brother Bao remarked that Fan Wu Jiu was stubborn and couldn't he see that this was the answer everyone hoped for in the ancestral hall? Fan Wu Jiu, unwilling to give up, took some money and went to the money boss's shop, whispering to him to secretly carry out a task. After hearing it, the money boss gladly accepted the money and agreed to meet the next evening.
The mayor held a meeting specifically addressing the deaths of the villagers, and Brother Bao revealed the investigation results, confirming that Wang Hai and Zhu Meng had trespassed into the Enchanting Forest, leading to the destruction of the magic formation and resulting in divine punishment. The villagers obediently followed the mayor's decree and dared not enter the Enchanting Forest. Fan Wu Jiu returned home burdened with thoughts, wanting to understand how Wang Hai really died. A statement from Xie Ping An suddenly enlightened Fan Wu Jiu, making him realize that the beggar known as Zhang Fengzi might be conveying some information to him.
