Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Everyone played too late, so Wu Bai stayed in the Orphanage. The next morning, he rented a carriage and took the children back to Qingyuan Village.

As soon as he entered the house, Wu Bai found that something was wrong in the yard, and there were signs of fighting.

There was also a whimpering sound from the woodshed. He asked the children to lean back first, and he picked up a stick and gradually approached the woodshed.

"Doctor Wu Bai—"

A voice came from behind him, and Wu Bai turned his head to look.

It's Xiao Zimo.

The other party said with a serious face: "Doctor Wu Bai, you are back, I have something to tell you."

Wu Bai stood the stick behind him, and said nonchalantly, "Please tell me."

"Yesterday I came to your house to look for you, only to find that someone was stealing from your house." Xiao Zimo said.

"Theft? Who is it?" Wu Bai asked.

"I don't know him. Xiao Yi has locked him up in your woodshed now, and I told Xiao Yi to keep an eye on him." After finishing speaking, Xiao Zimo came to the door of the woodshed and knocked.

With a creak, the wooden door was opened from the inside, revealing Xiao Yi's face.

Xiao Yi called Young Master, and then said to Wu Bai: "Doctor Wu."

Wu Bai didn't put down the stick in his hand, he stepped into the woodshed slowly, and saw a person tied tightly with hemp rope lying on the ground of the woodshed.

He took a closer look and found that it was Ye Chengji.

"It's you." Wu Bai's eyes lit up.

Xiao Zimo kept paying attention to Wu Bai's expression. He noticed that Wu Bai had a smile on his face when he saw this person, and then asked, "Doctor Wu Bai knows this person?"

"Yes, he is from Qingyuan Village." Wu Bai nodded.

"I don't know how Doctor Wu plans to deal with him?" Xiao Yi asked.

Wu Bai didn't reply, he kicked Ye Chengji awake who was pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, and asked, "Say, who ordered you to steal things?"

Ye Chengji didn't expect Wu Bai to ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "No one instructed me."

Xiao Zimo was also taken aback when he heard the words, he thought to himself, is Doctor Wu Bai trying to let this man go?

"You won't tell the truth, right? You'll be willing to say anything in court." Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo and said, "Young Master Xiao, can you tell him the difference between the principal criminal and the accessory criminal."

"I would like to serve Dr. Wu Bai." Xiao Zimo nodded, and then said, "According to the seventh case of Article 370 II of the Great Zhou Law, those who commit the crime of theft shall be imprisoned for five years for the master; two years for the slave."

Wu Bai spread his hands and said, "Did you hear that? The principal offender was imprisoned for five years, and the accomplice only needs to be sentenced for two years. You have to think about it carefully. Did anyone instigate you?"

After Ye Chengji heard these words, his eyes kept rolling. He thought of Lu Qiu, and said slowly, "Well, I admit that someone instructed me to steal things."

In the end he confided in Lu Qiu.

Wu Bai just suspected that this matter had something to do with Lu Qiu, but he didn't expect that Ye Chengji really confessed to Lu Qiu.

At this time, Xiao Zimo also saw Wu Bai's purpose, and he winked at Xiao Yi, signaling him to bring Lu Qiu back.

Xiao Yi knows martial arts, and is the bodyguard specially prepared by Xiao's father for his son.

He handled the affairs very neatly, and soon brought Lu Qiu along.

Wu Bai also tied up Lu Qiu, and then threw him and Ye Chengji into the carriage.

"Young Master Xiao, I'm going to the county for a visit, and I'll ask you to take care of this family." Wu Bai said.

"No problem." Xiao Zimo took out a token from his purse, and said, "You show this token to the county magistrate, and he will surely give you some face."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your kindness." Wu Bai said.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the village chief saw the scene where Wu Bai threw Ye Chengji and Lu Qiu into the carriage, and he came to the door of Wu's house.

"Brother Bai, what's your situation?" the village chief asked.

"Ye Chengji and Lu Qiu came to my house to burglary. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao and his two chivalrously helped them, so they were taken down. Now I plan to take them to the county government and hand them over to the magistrate," Wu Bai said. .

"Will this be too much, why don't you give them to me, and I will punish them for you." The village chief suggested.

At this time, Xiao Zimo stood up and said, "These two violated the laws of the Great Zhou. Does the village chief still want to protect them? You need to know that those who protect them will be punished with the same crime."

Of course, the village chief didn't dare to cover them up, but he just felt that sending officials off was too much trouble, so he just wanted to turn things around.

"I didn't want to cover them up, it was just..."

"It's fine if you don't have one." Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai and said, "Doctor Wu Bai, you go first, I will take care of the family."

Wu Bai smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Then he turned around and got into the rented carriage, picked up the whip and flicked it lightly, and quickly left Qingyuan Village with the carriage.

After he left, Xiao Zimo looked at the village chief with a smile and asked, "Is there anything else the village chief wants?"

The village chief didn't know why, but felt the hairs all over his body stand up. He looked at Xiao Zimo, although the other party was smiling, he felt very scary for no reason.

"No, I'm going back now." The village head quickly waved his hand.

After speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards his home.

Xiao Zimo looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Do I look scary?"

"No, the son is outstanding in appearance, and he has the most gentle temper." Xiao Yi replied.

"Then why does the village chief look like I want to eat him?" Xiao Zimo asked puzzled.

"This subordinate doesn't know either. Do you need me to bring him back? You can ask him again?" Xiao Yi said seriously.

"no need."

on the carriage

Lu Qiu pleaded: "Doctor Wu, this matter has nothing to do with me. It's all Ye Chengji's own fault. Your lord has a lot, so let me go back?"

"Brother Bai, don't listen to his nonsense. He obviously ordered me to steal things. I am the one you said. Why? Yes, the accomplice, Lu Qiu is the main culprit." Ye Chengji retorted.

"You have lost your conscience, and you can say such things. This matter is obviously your own greed, and it has nothing to do with me." Lu Qiu argued.

"Why is it okay? If you didn't dislike me for having no money, would I have done such a stupid thing?" Ye Chengji blurted out.

"Doctor Wu, did you hear me? This matter has nothing to do with me. I just dislike him because he has no money. It's his own evil intentions." Lu Qiu said to Wu Bai on the shaft of the car.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's your idea for me."

"you……"

Wu Bai was really annoyed by their noise, and said, "Shut up all of them, if anyone yells again, the whip in my hand will not recognize anyone."

"Brother Bai, I..."

Ye Chengji hadn't finished speaking when he slapped a whip on his body, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

Lu Qiu only felt a black shadow flash past, and the whip landed on Ye Chengji's body. He looked in the direction of the car curtain in horror, for fear that Wu Bai's head would not be right, and if he whipped himself, he could not help but move to the side. Far away from Ye Chengji.

Of course, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Wu Bai's ears were completely clean.

The carriage drove quickly on the official road, and gradually approached the county seat. At the gate of the city, Wu Bai took out Xiao Zimo's token, passed through without being checked, and came all the way to the county government.

As soon as the county magistrate heard someone report the case, he quickly put on his official hat and came to the lobby. As soon as he sat down, he found that the people in the middle of the lobby were very familiar, but at the moment he was asking questions, so it was not easy for him to go down and talk to Wu Bai.

The gavel slapped, and he asked solemnly: "Who is in the hall, and what is it?"

Wu Bai replied: "My lord, Wu Bai, a grassroots man, is a doctor and lives in Qingyuan Village. These two people are from the same village as mine. They sneaked into the house yesterday while I was out and wanted to steal. Fortunately, the neighbors were alert and helped me. I caught them, and when I came back today, I heard what my neighbors said about it, so I immediately brought them to the county office and handed them over to the adults for trial."

The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You did a good job. Such matters should indeed be handled by the officials, instead of bending the law for personal gain."

Then the county magistrate asked Ye Chengji their names, and then asked them whether what Wu Bai said was true.

They naturally refused to admit it.

Wu Bai said again: "My lord, not only the neighbors can testify about this matter, but the head of Qingyuan Village can also testify. Ye Chengji was sneaking around my house before, and he must want to find out my whereabouts. The village chief also knows."

Hearing this, the county magistrate pondered for a moment, and ordered the yamen servants to beat Ye Chengji and Lu Qiu [-] boards each.

Ye Chengji couldn't bear it as soon as he was beaten twice. He confessed: "My lord, I was ordered by others, and I am an accomplice."

Just as Lu Qiu was pushed onto the stool by the yamen servant, he heard Ye Chengji say this, and he immediately said, "My lord, I'll recruit, and I'll say anything."

The county magistrate waved his hands to let the yamen servants let go of them first, and then said: "You two quickly recruit the truth, if there are falsehoods, the board will serve you at any time."

Ye Chengji wanted to quibble at first, saying that he was an accomplice, but he was beaten several times by the yamen servants, so he had to confess everything honestly.

This matter was indeed Ye Chengji's idea. He was stimulated by Lu Qiu's words, and he thought that he could live a better life with money, so he was bold enough to commit the theft, but Lu Qiu did not report it. is the real accomplice.

The case was not complicated. In the end, Ye Chengji was sentenced to five years in prison, and Lu Qiu was also sentenced to two years in prison.

The two were taken down by the yamen servants, and the county magistrate walked down from the hall.

"Doctor Wu." The county magistrate called out cordially.

"Wu Bai, thank you sir for upholding justice." Wu Bai cupped his hands and said.

"No, no, it's me who should thank Dr. Wu. If it wasn't for Dr. Wu's rejuvenation, I would not be able to stand here properly now." The county magistrate was full of gratitude.

Wu Bai replied: "Your Excellency is serious."

"Doctor Wu, you came all the way here, you must be hungry, why don't you go to the back office and have a light meal before leaving?" the county magistrate invited.

Wu Bai couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

When the county magistrate's wife got the news, she immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare Wu Bai's favorite dishes. Wu Bai had stayed in the county office for a few days before, and the cook still remembered Wu Bai's preferences, so she prepared them according to the county magistrate's wife's instructions.

During the banquet, the county magistrate's wife kept ordering her servants to bring vegetables to Wu Bai, for fear that she might not take good care of him.

Wu Bai looked at the protruding plate and said helplessly, "Madam, look, this dish is about to overflow."

The county magistrate's wife resentfully said: "I was rude."

"It's okay, madam, don't just focus on me, your lord is still by my side." Wu Bai joked.

Hearing this, the county magistrate laughed twice, and the county magistrate's wife gave him a blank look and asked him to stop the laughter.

After the three of them had lunch, Wu Bai said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left the county government office on his front foot, someone came to the county government office to beat drums on his back foot, and a murder occurred.

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Go and invite Wu Zuo."

The yamen servant replied: "Wu Zuo asked for leave today and is not in the county yamen."

"What happened to the victim, please tell me in detail."

"The victim was the owner of a fireworks shop on South Street. He died of poisoning. There are two suspects..."

"Wait, what did you say, poisoned?" The county magistrate interrupted him.

"Yes, died of poisoning." The yamen servant nodded.

The county magistrate narrowed his eyes and said, "Doctor Wu probably hasn't left the city yet, so go and invite him back."

"Yes, my lord." The yamen servant took the order and left.
