Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Wu Bai returned to the Prince's Mansion, changed into his normal clothes again, and brought Yu Lan to the outside of the kitchen.

Linglong, who was in charge of Wu Bai's meals, saw Wu Bai coming to the kitchen, so she hurried up to greet him.

"My lord, why are you here?" Linglong asked.

"I want to make pastries by myself, you let them prepare the ingredients." Wu Bai said.

"Young master, if you want to eat cakes, you can just send someone to order, you don't have to do it yourself." Linglong replied.

"I have my own reasons, you hurry up and tell them to prepare the ingredients." Wu Bai did not explain to Linglong, after all, the less people know about the fact that he is going to give the cakes to the emperor and prince, the better.

Linglong didn't dare to refute Wu Bai's words, so she had to agree.

Then she went into the kitchen and told the cooks to prepare the ingredients.

After the ingredients were prepared, Wu Bai walked in with Yulan, and then he ordered the rest of the people to leave the kitchen.

Wu Bai skillfully picked up all kinds of ingredients to make pastries, and Yu Lan was assigned by Wu Bai to light the fire.

When Wu Bai came out of the kitchen, he and Yu Lan each held a food box.

"I've finished using the kitchen, you can go in." Wu Bai said to the cooks.

After finishing speaking, Wu Bai took Yulan into the palace again. He first ran to the emperor's place and gave the cakes to the emperor himself, and then went to the East Palace to give the cakes to Wu Xu.

When Wu Xu heard that the pastry was made by Wu Bai himself, he happily picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth. Even the palace servants who were following him to test the poison were not as quick as him.

"Prince—" the palace man looked at Wu Xu worriedly.

"It's okay, Brother Bai won't harm me." Wu Xu waved his hand.

The palace people were relieved to see that the prince was well.

Wu Bai looked at Wu Xu and said, "Brother Huang, I'll go back first."

As the crown prince, Wu Xu was busy with official duties, so he didn't keep Wu Bai. He just gave Wu a stack of test papers, and said: "These are the test papers of those who excelled in the imperial examinations in the past. Take them to Xiao Zimo."

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Wu Bai said gratefully as if he had found a treasure.

"Well, let's go!" Wu Xu waved his hand.

Wu Bai returned to the Prince's Mansion with the test papers again, but at this time it was getting dark, so he didn't go to the Qingyue Inn, but planned to give these test papers to Xiao Zimo tomorrow.

At the same time, Ren Leyao also received a letter from the concierge. She opened it and found that the name of the inn where Xiao Zimo lived was written on it.

She asked, "Who sent this?"

The concierge replied, "This is from a little beggar."

"Okay, I see, you step back!" Ren Leyao waved.

After the concierge left, Ren Leyao brought the maid to Master Ren's yard.

"Why are you here?" Master Ren asked in surprise.

He is a little afraid of this daughter now, she is too courageous!

"Father, I just got the news that Xiao Zimo lives in the Qingyue Inn." Ren Leyao narrated.

"Who is that Xiao Zimo?" Master Ren didn't react for a while.

Ren Leyao glared at him and said, "It's that Huiyuan!"

"Oh, it's him!" Master Ren suddenly said, "What are you talking about? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to him again and want to marry him?"

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about! I will be a concubine in the future, how can I have a crush on him!" Ren Leyao said disdainfully.

Ever since she had seen the magnificence of the imperial palace, she was no longer willing to marry an ordinary family.

"Then what do you want to do by mentioning him?" Master Ren felt a little bad in his heart.

"My servant once said that he didn't want to marry me. Naturally, I couldn't swallow this tone. Now that Wu Bai has an aunt to clean up, Xiao Zimo naturally can't let him go easily!" Ren Leyao couldn't hide the malice in his eyes and said.

"Then what do you want to do?" Master Ren asked.

"Since he ruined my marriage, then I will also ruin his most important thing." Ren Leyao said with red lips slightly, "I will make him unable to participate in the palace examination, and become a useless person from now on."

"Xiao Zimo is now Huiyuan. If there is no accident, he is the number one scholar. Many people in the court pay attention to him and want to win him into his subordinates. I am afraid that even the emperor is also paying attention to him. This is too risky. Let's forget it!" Master Ren shook his head.

"If there is no accident, he is the number one talent, but let's do it a little more secretly to make him look like an accident, isn't that all right!" Ren Leyao said indifferently.

"No, if someone finds out, even my aunt won't be able to protect us." Master Ren denied.

At the same time, he also became more determined to marry this daughter off as soon as possible. This is the real courage of the leopard.

Ren Leyao persuaded Master Ren for a while, but Master Ren was indifferent, and finally Ren Leyao could only leave Master Ren's yard angrily.

When she returned to her yard, she recruited her confidant maid and began to discuss countermeasures in whispers.

In the study of the third prince's mansion, the confidant said to the third prince with a serious face: "Master, when I went to the Qingyue Inn today, I just found the prince coming out of Xiao Zimo's room."

"Why did the prince go to Xiao Zimo? Could it be that he also wants to win over Xiao Zimo? But he shouldn't be the one to do this himself!" The third prince said hesitantly.

"The prince didn't go alone. The fifth son also came out of Xiao Zimo's room later. They should have gone to find Xiao Zimo together." The confidant analyzed.

"Brother Bai also appeared there?" The third prince was surprised for a moment, and then said clearly, "It seems that my younger brother really likes Xiao Zimo!"

"Master, what should we do next? The prince looked very happy when he walked out of the inn, maybe he has already relied on the fifth son to win Xiao Zimo into his hands." The confidant said worriedly.

The third prince shook his head and said: "Don't worry so much, even if the prince really relies on Brother Bai to win over Xiao Zimo, there is not much loss for us, not to mention that once Xiao Zimo becomes a son-in-law, he will not be able to enter the court. It doesn't pose much of a threat to us."

The confidant breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's still the master who is thoughtful."

"However, we can still make use of the fact that the prince went to the Qingyue Inn, so you..." the third prince ordered.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately." The confidant bowed his hands and withdrew.

next day

Wu Bai took the stack of test papers and came to Qingyue Inn again.

"Fifth Young Master, you are here." Xiao Zimo greeted him happily.

Wu Bai put the test paper on the table, and Xiao Zimo poured him a glass of water. Wu Bai took the water and was about to drink it, but suddenly smelled something wrong with the water.

"Who gave you the water?" Wu Bai asked.

Xiao Zimo saw that Wu Bai's expression was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "This water was brought by the waiter in the store, is there something wrong?"

"This water is poisonous." Wu Bai took out the silver in his purse and put it into the water cup to test it out. Sure enough, the silver turned light gray, which meant that the amount of poison was not large.

"Poisonous!" Xiao Zimo looked at the graying silver in shock.

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo came downstairs with the kettle, and Xiao Zimo found the waiter of the famous shop in the kitchen of the inn.

As soon as the shop clerk saw Xiao Zimo, his eyes began to evade, and then he saw the kettle in Wu Bai's hand. He immediately understood that he had been found out about poisoning Xiao Zimo, and he quickly turned around and prepared to escape through the back door.

Seeing that he was about to run away, Wu Bai casually picked up firewood from the kitchen and threw it at the opponent's legs. The waiter was hit on the knee, his legs softened immediately, and he fell to the ground.

Xiao Zimo stepped forward quickly and captured the waiter. At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn heard the tip-off from the cooks and came to the backyard.

"Two guest officers, what's going on? But the waiter in the store did not do well and offended you two. I apologize to you two on his behalf." The shopkeeper smoothed things over with a smiling face.

"The waiter in your shop is really good at doing things, he dared to poison the water!" Wu Bai stared at the shopkeeper and sarcastically said.

"What? Poison!" the shopkeeper said in shock.

Wu Bai carefully observed the shopkeeper's expression, and found that he really didn't know, so he put the other corner of the gray silver in his hand into the water, and when he took it out, the other corner also turned gray.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned livid, and he stared at the waiter, wishing he could tear him up and eat him.

"Zimo, let's report to the official!" Wu Bai said, turning to look at Xiao Zimo.

Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "Okay."

"Can't report to the official!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Xiao Zimo and the others.

"Shopkeeper, are you also an accomplice to stop us like this?" Wu Bai stared at the shopkeeper with unkind eyes and said.

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Guest officer, I open the door to do business, and I will definitely not do such black-hearted things, but your report to the official will affect the business of the inn. Can we discuss it? From today onwards, all of you in the inn Food and lodging are all free, what do you think?"

"It's not that good, something like this happened in the inn, do you think we will continue to live here with confidence?" Wu Bai asked back.

"Guest officer, this is a small business, so please take pity on me! Don't report to the official, I will handle him personally." The shopkeeper begged.

Wu Bai didn't want to continue to quarrel with him, so he turned around and prepared to leave with the waiter, and handed over the matter to Dali Temple.

"Stop them for me." Seeing that the discussion failed, the shopkeeper immediately asked the people in the kitchen to stop Wu Bai and the others with a sullen face.

"Yes." All the cooks and helpers in the kitchen surrounded Wu Bai and the others.

Seeing this situation, Wu Bai pulled out his whip, quickly knocked them to the ground, and then took the waiter away smoothly.

When they came to Dali Temple, the minister of Dali Temple heard that Wu Bai, the emperor's brother, had reported the case, so he hurriedly raised the hall to ask questions. After understanding the ins and outs, he immediately sent the servants to Qingyue Inn to search for evidence, and brought the shopkeeper and others lobby.

Finally, the yamen servant found a bag of white powder and a large amount of silver in the room where Xiao Er lived. After inspection, it was confirmed that it was poison that could cause death, and the kettle Xiao Zimo brought contained a small amount of poison.

The certified evidence is there, and the waiter in the shop can't deny it. He finally confessed that he poisoned Xiao Zimo because he took money from others, but he didn't know the other party, and the other party was wearing a mask. woman.

Hearing this, Wu Bai had some doubts that the woman was Ren Leyao, so he expressed his doubts to Dali Temple Secretary.

The Minister of Dali Temple immediately sent someone to invite Ren Leyao to inquire, but the waiter shook his head and said that it was not Ren Leyao. The woman he heard had a slightly lower voice, not as sharp and soft as Ren Leyao.

In desperation, Dali Temple Minister had no choice but to let Ren Leyao go back.

In the end, the waiter was sentenced to death, the stolen goods were confiscated, and the innkeeper was fined 1000 taels of silver.

After the case was judged, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo came to the inn again, packed up Xiao Zimo's things, and left the inn.
