Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 198 The imperial examination husband

Wu Bai didn't continue to ask about the following matters, and he didn't know how Nan Yiyun dealt with the maid in the end, he just felt bored staying in the mansion.

After making up his mind to go out and relax, Wu Bai took gifts and got into the carriage to go to the homes of some of his masters who had taught him to give them New Year greetings, and then headed towards Linshan Town in the carriage.

Wu Bai had never been to Linshan Town, and he didn't know the address of Xiao Zimo's house, so he ordered Yanshu and the others to inquire about the news.

Fortunately, the number of scholars in Linshan Town is small. When the people in the town heard that the person they inquired about was a young scholar, they immediately pointed them in the right direction.

According to the address they found out, the three of them rode a carriage through two small alleys and arrived in front of Xiao Zimo's house.

Seeing that the gate was not closed, there were cries and the sound of things falling on the ground, and there were many neighbors pointing at the gate, Wu Bai felt bad, jumped out of the carriage, and quickly passed through the crowd.

Walking into the door, I happened to see four strong men in bunts throwing things fiercely. Xiao Zimo was trying to stop them, but was held back by his mother, and there was a middle-aged man lying on the ground , I don't know how this man is.

"Stop!" Wu Bai hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, there's another boy with a pretty rich face." One of the men stopped his hands and looked at Wu Bai.

When the other people heard the word 'rich', they also stopped their movements and looked at Wu Bai.

Seeing them stop smashing, Xiao Zimo and his mother hurried over to help the person lying on the ground.

"Who are you, you dare to trespass on private houses in broad daylight!" Wu Bai asked.

"We didn't trespass on the houses, it's because they owed us money and didn't pay back." Another man replied.

"Yes, they owed money and didn't pay it back. We're just here to collect debts. You seem to be quite rich. Since you know this family, you might as well pay them back." The man who spoke first said.

Hearing this, Xiao Zimo quickly explained: "My dear brother, don't be fooled, my family doesn't owe them money at all."

At this time, a man came out of the house again, and the man came out with a jewelry box in disgust, and cursed: "Bah, poor man!"

After cursing, the other party raised his head and saw Wu Bai. He recognized Wu Bai at a glance, walked quickly to the four big men, and said, "This is the man who owes our shopkeeper a total of 5000 taels. You take him down too."

Hearing 5000 taels, greed flashed in the eyes of the four big men, they nodded in agreement, and all walked towards Wu Bai.

At the same time, Wu Bai also recognized the man holding the jewelry box, who was the waiter in the teahouse he had participated in the elegant bet with Xiao Zimo.

Unexpectedly, after so long, the other party would find the Xiao family.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Four heavy objects fell to the ground, followed by a howling sound.

The waiter in the teahouse took a closer look, and saw that the four strong men had all fallen to the ground just now, while Wu Bai stood there calmly.

In an instant, he looked at Wu Bai in horror, knowing that he had kicked the iron plate this time, he rolled his eyes, moved his steps quietly, and groped towards the door.

Wu Bai grabbed his collar and closed the door, hiding the sight of the neighbors around him.

Yanshu Yanqi looked at Wu Bai with admiration.

"Tie him up first." Wu Bai ordered.

"Yes." Yan Shu excitedly ran to the corner, took the rope that was placed there and tied up the waiter in the teahouse.

The waiter in the teahouse still wanted to struggle, but it was useless.

Wu Bai picked up the jewelry box that fell on the ground just now, walked up to Xiao Zimo's family, and handed the jewelry box to his mother.

"Thank you." Mother Xiao said gratefully.

"You're welcome, how is Uncle?" Wu Bai looked at Father Xiao and asked.

Father Xiao had already woken up at this moment, he coughed twice, and replied: "I'm fine."

"My dear brother, I'm going to take my father to the clinic now, can you look after my house for me?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"Yes, the carriage is right outside the door, I'll let Yanqi go with you." Wu Bai nodded.

After Xiao Zimo and his mother helped Xiao's father into the carriage and drove towards the hospital, Wu Bai closed the courtyard door again, and walked towards the waiter in the teahouse with a cold expression.

Seeing his dangerous expression, the waiter in the teahouse hurriedly begged for mercy: "The shopkeeper ordered me to do this, so please forgive me."

"Clap!"

Wu Bai didn't listen to his excuse, and directly picked up the rope on the side and threw it at him, knocking him unconscious.

So Wu Bai was still angry, he took the rope and came to the four strong men, aimed at them and gave them another twitch, beating them to the point of crying.

His ferocious behavior scared the Yan Shu next to him. Yan Shu never knew that his son had this side. In Yan Shu's eyes, Wu Bai is a gentle scholar.

After Wu Bai finished beating these people, he threw the rope in his hand to Yanshu and asked him to tie up the four strong men as well.

After finishing the order, Wu Bai started to clean up the smashed things in the yard, picked out the things that could be used again and put them aside, and cleaned up the things that could no longer be used in piles.

In the evening, Xiao Zimo and others came back in a carriage.

Seeing the scene in the yard, Xiao's family knew that Wu Bai helped them tidy it up, and they were even more grateful to him.

"How is uncle's condition, what does the doctor say?" Wu Bai worried.

Father Xiao smiled and said: "It's okay, the doctor said that it's just a skin injury, I'll be fine after taking two medicines for a few days."

"That's good." Wu Bai nodded.

Then Mother Xiao helped Father Xiao into the house.

Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo and said, "Those people were all sent by the shopkeeper of the teahouse who opened Yagat before. I tied them up and locked them up in the firewood room. I will take them to the county government office tomorrow."

Xiao Zimo said gratefully: "Thanks to the help of my virtuous brother this time."

"This matter is all my fault. If I hadn't participated in the Naya bet, I wouldn't have brought disaster on you." Wu Bai said with guilt.

"You can't be blamed for this, the shopkeeper of the teahouse can't afford to lose." Xiao Zimo explained.

"Don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely solve this matter." Wu Bai promised.

Xiao's mother was busy taking care of Xiao's father, decocting medicine for him, and Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo made dinner together.

After dinner, Wu Bai left Xiao's house with Yan Shu and the two, and found an inn in the town to stay.

The next day, they came to Xiao's house again, took away the five people who were locked in the firewood room, and together with Xiao Zimo, they went to Fucheng.

Originally, he planned to go to the county seat, but considering that the shopkeeper of the teahouse was in Fucheng, it would delay the time for the county clerk to go to Fucheng again, so he simply went directly to Fucheng.

The servant of the government office recognized Wu Bai's identity, and immediately went in to Tong Bing Wu Chengzhou.

Wu Chengzhou came out, asked Wu Bai the ins and outs, and immediately sent the yamen servant to the teahouse to arrest the teahouse shopkeeper for interrogation.

After being interrogated, the shopkeeper of the teahouse immediately winked at the waiter at the shop, and said, "Good Li Xiaoer, I never told you to beat people, but you have learned to make up your own mind, and now that something happened, you still want me to replace you." You take the blame!"

If it was normal, Li Xiaoer would take advantage of the situation to respond to these words. After all, this crime will only be sentenced for a year and a half, but he did not mishear Wu Bai calling the magistrate in the hall as his father just now. He didn't want to be imprisoned in the government's prison. Could it be that a sheep has fallen into a wolf's den.

So Li Xiaoer decisively took out the bank note in his arms, and said to Wu Chengzhou: "My lord, I have evidence to prove that the shopkeeper ordered me to do this. This is the bank note he gave me to buy those four people." Evidence of attacking the Xiao family."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the shopkeeper of the teahouse hurriedly interjected: "My lord, I did not give this bank note to Li Xiaoer, it must have been stolen by Li Xiaoer from my teahouse. This Li Xiaoer is not serious about working in the teahouse. I often steal and play tricks, and now it is even more hateful, not only stealing my bank notes, but also trespassing on people's houses, fighting, and pouring dirty water on me, a good man, which shows how bad he is, sir, you must make decisions for me !"

Li Xiaoer quickly retorted: "My lord, the money that the shopkeeper earns every day will be sent to the bank for storage, and he will not put it in the store at all. He took the bank note from the bank himself. If you don't believe me, you can send someone Go to Ruifeng Bank to inquire."

Naturally, Wu Chengzhou could tell that Li Xiaoer was not lying. He looked at the shopkeeper of the teahouse and said, "If you are honest, I can give you a lighter punishment. Don't blame me for not showing affection."

Seeing that Li Xiaoer had moved out Ruifeng Bank, the shopkeeper of the teahouse knew that he had no room to argue, so he bowed his head and confessed honestly.

In the end, Wu Chengzhou judged that the shopkeeper of the teahouse was imprisoned for two years and compensated the Xiao family with a hundred taels of silver, while Li Xiaoer and the four thugs were instigated by others and counted as accomplices, and were sentenced to one year in prison.

Li Xiaoer didn't expect that he would be sentenced to one year in prison for confessing to the instigator behind his back. He was full of remorse, and if he knew it, he would have voluntarily pleaded guilty.

The shopkeeper of the tea house gave Li Xiaoer a hard look before being taken down. Compared with Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo, he hated Li Xiaoer, the guy who betrayed the master, more at the moment.

After the trial of the case was over, Wu Bai was left behind by Wu Chengzhou, while Xiao Zimo went home alone.

"Didn't you go to pay New Year's greetings to your masters yesterday, why did you go to Xiao's house again?" Wu Chengzhou asked.

"There are too many trivial disputes in the mansion. After I visited several masters, I didn't want to go back to the mansion, so I went to Xiao's house." Wu Bairuo pointed out.

Hearing this, Wu Chengzhou couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought of the farce on New Year's Eve a few days ago, he waved his hand and said, "That's all, it's up to you."

Wu Bai walked out of the mansion and found that Xiao Zimo was still outside the mansion, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Why are you still here?"

"You helped my family this time, and I stayed here specially to thank you." Xiao Zimo cupped his hands.

"You're welcome, I didn't help much." Wu Bai shook his head.

"I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first." Xiao Zimo said goodbye to him.

"Okay, Yanshu Yanqi, you send Zimo back." Wu Bai ordered.

"Young Master, what about you? How about I stay and protect Young Master?" Yan Shu asked.

Wu Bai smiled and said: "No, this is Fucheng, no one dares to do anything to me, even if I suffer, it's not me."

Thinking of Wu Bai's force value, Yanshu honestly sent Xiao Zimo back with Yanqi.

Before getting into the carriage, Xiao Zimo bowed his hands to Wu Bai again to thank him.

When the carriage was far away, there really was an unsightly person approaching.

Xie Ning walked up to Wu Bai and asked: "Young Master Wu, I seemed to see you and Xiao Zimo coming out of the mansion just now, did something happen?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask more was whether Xiao Zimo had committed a crime, or was involved in a certain case.

Wu Bai glanced at him, revealed his identity, and said, "I am the son of the magistrate, and I accompanied Zimo to pay New Year's greetings to my father. What, do you have any opinions?"

"..." Xie Ning almost didn't choke on his saliva, he secretly hated why Xiao Zimo was so lucky to befriend Wu Bai, the son of the magistrate, and now he even relied on Wu Bai to win the magistrate's favor.

He complimented Wu Bai with a shy smile: "Forgive me for my stupid eyes. I have been classmates with Mr. Wu for so long, but I didn't see through Mr. Wu's real identity. I am really disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Since you have no objection, please step aside." Wu Bai said.

"How dare I have an opinion on Mr. Wu." Xie Ning quickly walked away from Wu Bai, walked to Wu Bai's side, and walked with him.

"Mr. Wu, where are you going? I happen to be free, so I can accompany Mr. Wu." Xie Ning said with a smile on his face.

He actually came to Fucheng today to pay New Year greetings to his masters, but he did not expect to see Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo coming out of the government office one after another. son.

Seeing Xiao Zimo's relationship with the magistrate, he was naturally reluctant to give up.
