Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

As soon as Wu Bai arrived at the gate of the city, he was stopped by the government officials.

"Doctor Wu, the county magistrate has something to ask." The yamen servant said respectfully.

"Did you say what it was?" Wu Bai asked.

"Your Excellency didn't say anything, but someone from the yamen came to report the case. The deceased died of poisoning. The coordinator happened to ask for leave to go home. The subordinate guessed that it was related to this matter." The yamen servant replied.

"Then let's go." Wu Bai turned the carriage around and headed towards the county government again.

As soon as the two of them entered the county government office, a government official came over to inform them, telling Wu Bai to go directly to the lobby, and the trial was about to begin.

Wu Bai didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the lobby.

The county magistrate sat high above. When he saw Wu Bai coming back, he immediately asked the yamen servant to move a chair for Wu Bai and asked him to sit down. Only then did the trial begin.

"Who is in the hall, and what is the so-called matter?" The county magistrate asked solemnly.

An old woman stepped forward and cried, "My lord, my son's death was wronged, please make the decision for me~"

"Quiet, you are not allowed to make noise in the courtroom. What grievances do you have? To be honest, I will deal with it fairly." The magistrate slapped the gavel in his hand and said sharply.

The old woman didn't dare to cry anymore, and said: "The old woman lives in South Street, lives with her son, and opened a fireworks shop. Just now, my son Du Tai was poisoned to death. Please help me Call the shots, woo woo..."

After she finished speaking, she gave another man and a woman in the lobby a hard look.

After the old woman finished speaking, the woman said, "My lord, the woman has been wronged. The woman did not poison her husband to death, so I ask you to make the decision for me~"

"Who is your last name, please report it." The county magistrate asked.

The woman replied: "The woman's surname is Fang and her name is Cuicui. She has been married to Du Tai for many years and has a deep relationship. How could she poison him?"

The county magistrate looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What about you, who is your last name, and what does it have to do with this case?"

The man replied: "My lord, Caomin's surname is Wang Minghe. He lives in South Street. He is a neighbor of Du Tai. He had a dispute with Du Tai a few days ago."

"Oh? No wonder you were brought here too." The county magistrate nodded.

At this time, the old woman said: "My lord, the old woman wants to sue these two people. They must have joined forces to murder my son."

"Do you have evidence?" the magistrate asked.

"Yes, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which is my son's favorite, and I often buy it." The old woman replied.

"Submit it to Dr. Wu to see if it's poisonous," the county magistrate ordered.

Wu Bai picked up a silver needle and inserted it into the pastry, and then pulled it out. The silver needle was pitch black, and he replied, "My lord, this pastry has indeed been poisoned."

The county magistrate nodded and said: "Then it seems that the poison was really put in this pastry."

At this time, Wang He said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me."

"Say."

"My lord, this poison is put into the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it should only be done by someone close to you, and the villain had a dispute with Na Dutai a few days ago, and he has never been to his house these days, so there is absolutely no possibility of poisoning it .” Wang He said eloquently.

After saying this, the county magistrate nodded slightly, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable.

The old lady in the hall even turned her gaze to Fang Cuicui, wishing she could tear her up and eat her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Fang Cuicui quickly explained: "My lord, I didn't inject this poison, I was wronged!"

Wang He said again: "My lord, Fang Cuicui told me a few days ago that the house was full of rats, and asked me if there was any way to solve it. At that time, I asked her to buy some poison to pour out the rat poison. I don't know if it was related to today's incident. I hope the adults will investigate carefully."

"Oh? And this?" The county magistrate asked.

Fang Cuicui hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My lord, I bought arsenic. Frost is really for poisoning mice. There is a dead mouse under my bed at the moment. I dare not touch it. It is still lying under the bed. My lord will send someone to check it out." .”

When the county magistrate heard the words, he immediately sent someone to investigate to see if the situation was true. Soon the yamen servant came back and reported that there was indeed a dead mouse under the bed, and he brought it with him.

Looking at the mouse, Fang Cuicui seemed to be born again, she said excitedly: "What I said is true, I was really wronged."

Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, the county magistrate pondered for a moment, and said: "Come here, go and bring the person from the pastry shop over for questioning."

"Yes." The two yamen servants took the order and left.

After a while, the owner and the staff of the shop that sold Du Tai osmanthus cake were all brought in.

The county magistrate interrogated and checked them again, but found no doubts. The owner and staff in this shop all knew the deceased, because Du Tai was a regular customer, but no one had anything to do with Du Tai in private. Over intersection.

The yamen servant investigated the recent whereabouts of these few people, and also did not find any point of them lying.

After checking, the most suspicious person is Fang Cuicui. Although there are dead mice under her bed, this does not completely prove that she did not put arsenic in the pastry.

Seeing that the county magistrate was about to put Fang Cuicui in prison for another trial, Wu Bai suddenly noticed that Wang He's lips were curled up, and a young man from the pastry shop looked at Wang He several times.

Wu Bai said: "My lord, I still have a few questions, can I ask?"

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Yes."

Wu Bai walked up to the pastry shop worker and asked, "Why were you staring at him just now?"

Seeing that Wu Bai dared to be so casual in front of the county magistrate, he didn't dare to hide anything, and said honestly: "This guest officer also came to the store today to buy osmanthus cake, so I couldn't help but glance at him. "

"Oh? Is he also a regular customer in the store?" Wu Bai asked again.

The job shook his head and said: "He is not a regular customer in the store. Our store is a time-honored brand, and the people who come and go are regular customers on weekdays. Today, I suddenly saw a strange face, so I inevitably took a second look, so I remembered it."

Wang He clenched his fists in his sleeves, looked up at Wu Bai, and said sarcastically, "Aren't I worthy of buying osmanthus cake? Doctor Wu is so obsessed with this matter."

But Wu Bai ignored him, turned to look at the county magistrate, and asked, "My lord, may I check the body of the deceased?"

"Yes." The county magistrate saw that Wu Bai seemed to have an idea, of course he would not stop it.

Then the two yamen servants carried the deceased up from the mortuary at the back. In order to respect the deceased, the county yamen generally would not directly place the deceased in the lobby for people to watch, and would only carry them out when necessary.

The old woman next to her rushed over and cried loudly at the dead: "Son, you died so badly, how can you live alone if you leave me as your mother?"

Fang Cuicui went to support her and comforted her: "Mother, don't be too sad, you still have me and Tong'er!"

The old woman pushed her away and said viciously: "You poisonous woman, you are the one who killed my son!"

"Mother, I was really wronged, I didn't kill my husband." Fang Cuicui cried.

Seeing this situation, the county magistrate asked the yamen servant to move the old woman away first, and then Wu Bai opened the curtain to inspect the deceased.

……

"How is it? Can Dr. Wu find out anything?" the county magistrate asked.

"My lord, the deceased did not die from arsenic poisoning." Wu Bai replied.

"Didn't he die from poisoning?" The county magistrate asked in surprise.

"No, the deceased died of poisoning, but the poison was not arsenic." When Wu Bai said this, he kept staring at Wang He from the corner of his eye, and found that his face turned livid for a moment.

"It's not arsenic. What kind of poison is that?" The magistrate then asked.

"It's a kind of poison for lily-of-the-valley."

"Lily of the valley?"

"That's right, Lily of the Valley is a kind of flower, which can be used as an ornament in the garden, but it is poisonous and cannot be eaten. If it is ground into powder and put into food for people to swallow, it will cause poisoning and death in excess." Wu Bai explained.

Then he went to the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, inspected it carefully, and said again: "My lord, someone put lily of the valley powder in this sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

At this moment, Fang Cuicui said: "My lord, I have never seen a flower called a lily of the valley, and I ask you to make decisions for me and my husband, woo woo..."

"Let me ask you, why did your husband argue with Wang He a few days ago?" Wu Bai asked.

Fang Cuicui stopped crying and said: "My family and Wang He are neighbors. Once I heard that Wang He has a method to repel insects and avoid rats. It happened that rats were infested in my house recently. I asked Wang He how to get rid of rats. He told me You can use poison to pour the rat poison, and then he saw that my husband was not at home, so he wanted to molested me, but my husband happened to come back and saw this, so he beat him up, and the two had a dispute because of this."

After listening, Wu Bai walked up to Wang He and asked, "Do you know how to repel mosquitoes and rats?"

Wang He replied in a deep voice, "A little while."

"So, you know medicine?" Wu Bai asked.

"No, I'm just a gardener. I usually take care of the flower garden of the owner's house. There are a lot of mosquitoes in those places, so I just thought of some home-made methods to repel the mosquitoes." Wang He said lightly.

"Flower Garden? So, you know Lily of the Valley, and you have a chance to get this powder?" Wu Bai said with a smile.

"No, don't talk nonsense." Wang He retorted.

The county magistrate saw it clearly from above. He had been adjudicating cases for officials for many years, so he could naturally see that Wang He had a guilty conscience.

So he immediately ordered the servants to search Wang He's house, and at the same time, he also went to the house of the master Wang He mentioned to see if there were flowers like lily of the valley in the other party's house.

Soon, the yamen servant who went to search Wang He's house first came back, carrying a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and a small paper bag of white-yellow powder in his hand.

The county magistrate asked the yamen servant to hand over these things to Wu Bai for inspection.

Wu Bai soon recognized that the white-yellow powder was Lily of the Valley powder, but Lily of the Valley powder was not sprinkled in the osmanthus cake.

Just after checking these, the yamen servant who went to Liu's house also came back.

This Liu family is the family that hired Wang He as a gardener.

The Liu family only sent one butler over, and the butler said as soon as he arrived: "My lord, this Wang He has been dismissed by the master two days ago, and he is not my Liu family's gardener now."

"What's going on here?" the magistrate asked.

"Wang He hurt the precious flower stamen that the master loves two days ago, so he was ordered to be dismissed by the master, and he also asked the Liu family to pay a sum of money." The housekeeper continued.

"Then do you have lily-of-the-valley in your house?" the county magistrate asked.

"My lord, my master likes to collect all kinds of flowers, so this lily of the valley is also available." The butler replied.

The county magistrate confirmed this, picked up the gavel and took heavy shots.

"Bold Wang He, the evidence is here, why do you have to quibble!"

Knowing that the situation was over, Wang He collapsed on the ground and murmured: "It's all the fault of that bastard Du Tai, if he hadn't hurt my hand, I wouldn't have hurt Master Liu's precious flower stamen, and more Not getting fired, not going into huge debts..."

In the end, Wang He honestly confessed the truth about how he dropped Du Tai's sweet-scented osmanthus cake and successfully killed Du Tai.

He was also sentenced to death by the county magistrate and asked to be executed after autumn.

After the facts of the case came to light, Wu Bai left the county again in a carriage, heading back to Qingyuan Village.

The county magistrate also wrote this case into the booklet and submitted it, and finally presented it to the imperial court step by step.

At the Golden Luan Hall, the emperor praised Wuhua county magistrate with satisfaction for his prudence and fairness, and asked the courtiers to learn more about his attitude.

After the court, someone approached Xiao Zimo's father and asked, "Prince Xiao, I remember that your son seems to have gone to Wuhua County for medical treatment. How is the situation now?"

Xiao Tianhen replied: "That's true. A few days ago, he sent a letter back, only saying that the doctor can cure the disease, but it will take a long time. Everything else is fine."

"What doctor? It's so powerful that even the imperial doctor couldn't cure the disease, but he can cure it?" The man was surprised.

"I only inquired about this doctor occasionally. Isn't this helpless? Even the imperial physician said that my son... just let this doctor try!" Xiao Tianhen spread his hands.
