Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Yishi County

After Wu Bai retired from the court, he asked the yamen servant to invite Wu Zuo.

Wu Zuo clasped his hands and asked, "I don't know what orders do you have?"

"You checked Master Xiang's body today, did you find any other wounds on his body, are you sure the cause of death was poisoning?" Wu Bai asked.

"My lord, there is no other wound on Master Xiang's body. He indeed died of poisoning, which is the same as the poison in the teapot." Wu Zuo replied.

"Very good, you step back first!" Wu Bai waved his hand.

After Wu Zuo retired, Wu Bai thought about it, and he went back to the backyard, changed into neat clothes, and quietly left the county office.

.........

Xiang Zhicheng picked up the cup in his hand and threw it on the ground, angrily said: "There are all witnesses and evidence in this case, Master Wu didn't directly convict that woman!"

Sitting next to him, Shen Shi comforted calmly: "What are you afraid of, even if Mr. Wu tries again, the result will be the same."

"It's true to say that, but I always feel a little uneasy if this case is not closed for a day." Xiang Zhicheng said with a worried face.

Seeing his worried face, Shen changed the subject and said, "Can you get rid of that box of tea leaves?"

Xiang Zhicheng nodded and said, "En."

"Since everything has been dealt with, then you can wait patiently for Mr. Wu to close the case, so why panic!" Shen said disapprovingly.

"But I'm always in a panic." Xiang Zhicheng said nervously.

Shen got up and walked to his side, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit in his arms. She raised her hand and touched Xiang Zhicheng's chest, and said softly, "I'll rub it for you, do you still feel flustered?"

Xiang Zhicheng grabbed her hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems to be even more flustered, can you feel it carefully?"

Outside the window, Wu Bai: "..."

Hearing the entanglement between the two people in the room, Wu Bai slowly left Xiang's mansion. He came to the prison and asked the jailer to bring Mrs. Ye out.

Mrs. Ye came to the room where the prisoner was being interrogated anxiously. She looked at Wu Bai and quickly saluted, "My lord."

"Get up!" Wu Bai pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down first, I have something to ask you."

"Excuse me, my lord." Mrs. Ye sat on the chair nervously.

"How is your relationship with Xiang Zhicheng?" Wu Bai asked.

"Our mother-son relationship has always been very good, and he respects me very much." Ye replied.

"Respect? But just now in the lobby, he seemed to be bent on getting you to confess, and he didn't intend to excuse you at all." Wu Bai asked back.

Mrs. Ye explained: "This child has been closer to his father since he was a child. Now the master is poisoned to death after drinking the tea I brewed by myself. He believes in his heart that the master was killed by the women, so naturally he refuses to speak for me."

"He has a closer relationship with Master Xiang? Is there any reason for this?" Wu Bai asked.

"To be honest, Zhicheng is not the biological child of me and the master, he is adopted by me and the master. The master saw that he was lonely and I hadn't conceived for many years, so he adopted him. When he was adopted by us, he was already It's four years old, maybe it's like this, he will be more affectionate to the master." Ye replied.

Wu Bai was surprised: "Isn't he your own?"

Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then have you ever done anything to offend him?" Wu Bai asked.

"My master and I have not had a child for so many years, and he is the only one under our knees. It's too late to love him. How can we do anything to hurt him." Ye replied shaking his head.

After saying this, she suddenly thought of something, and said again: "A few months ago, the master suddenly had a quarrel with Zhicheng. I asked both of them, but they refused to tell me the reason. Lord Tian and Zhicheng reconciled again, so I didn't ask any more questions."

After hearing this, Wu Bai continued to ask: "Can you tell me where you bought the tea?"

Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "It's Qinyuanzhai on South Street."

"What kind of tea did you buy?" Wu Bai asked.

"Biluochun, my master and I both like to drink this." Mrs. Ye replied.

"Very good, I have already understood almost everything, you can go back." Wu Bai waved his hand.

Then two yamen servants walked in and brought Mrs. Ye back to the cell.

next day

Wu Bai came to Xiangfu with a group of yamen servants and knocked on the door of Xiangfu.

When Xiang Zhicheng saw Wu Bai bringing so many yamen servants to Xiang's mansion, he panicked for a moment, then pretended to be calm and cupped his hands at Wu Bai and asked, "I don't know what your lord is talking about today?"

"I came here precisely for the murder case that happened yesterday. I think this case is full of doubts and needs to be re-examined. I hope it won't disturb Mr. Xiang." Wu Bai said in a sullen voice.

Xiang Zhicheng said with a dry smile: "No, no, it is only natural for adults to investigate the case, and Xiang must cooperate with adults in his work."

"Very good." Wu Bai nodded in satisfaction, and he waved his sleeves at the yamen guard behind him, "Let me go into the mansion and search carefully, and don't miss any clues."

"Yes." Yamen servants rushed into Xiangfu.

Wu Bai looked at Xiang Zhicheng and asked, "Young Master Xiang, can you send someone to follow them, and if there are any valuable things that you can't touch, you can remind them."

"No need, all the big brothers are just searching for clues, and they are not trying to spoil the scene, so there is no need for people to follow." Xiang Zhicheng said angrily.

At this moment, after Shen finished dressing, she twisted her slender waist and walked towards the hall.

"I've met you, my lord." Shen said softly, with a slight blessing.

Seeing that the other party was wearing a pink inner lining and a light green outer jacket, Wu Bai said, "Master Xiang just passed away. Doesn't Madam Shen look sad at all?"

The smile on Shen's face froze, she immediately put away her smile, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and cried: "This concubine is naturally very sad, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so I can only try not to think about the master , so that I can feel better in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be misunderstood by adults."

Seeing her crying, Xiang Zhicheng couldn't help interjecting: "Your Excellency doesn't know, Aunt Shen has been crying since she came back yesterday, she finally got better today."

Several people were talking, when a yamen servant hurried in with a tea box, and said to Wu Bai, "My lord, this subordinate found this tea box in the room in the main courtyard."

As soon as the words fell, Shen turned her head to look at Xiang Zhicheng, and couldn't help blurting out: "Didn't you say that you disposed of the tea box?"

Xiang Zhicheng also stared at the tea box in shock.

Wu Bai took the tea box and said slowly: "Come here, take them back."

At this time, Shen Shi realized that she had said something wrong, and she quickly said: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with me, my lord!"

Xiang Zhicheng also came to his senses. He shook his head and said, "My lord, this tea box was found in the main courtyard. It has nothing to do with us. Why did you arrest us!"

Wu Bai raised his hand and said, "What are you doing in a daze, take them back to the county government."

"Yes." Several yamen servants quickly stepped forward and took the two of them away.

Everyone hurried back to the county government hall again, and Mrs. Ye was brought to the court again. When she saw Xiang Zhicheng and the two being restrained by the government servants, she was very surprised.

"My lord, what's going on?" Mrs. Ye asked with puzzled eyes.

Wu Bai sat on it and replied: "I have found the real culprits who killed Master Xiang, and they are them."

Ye Shi was shocked: "How is this possible?"

Xiang Zhicheng shouted: "My lord, I was wronged, I did not kill my father!"

Shen also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Wu Bai pointed to the tea box on the desk and said, "I heard with your own ears that the two of you said that the tea box was disposed of by you. If this case has nothing to do with you, why did you dispose of the tea box?"

Xiang Zhicheng argued: "My lord, this tea box is clearly placed here, I must have misheard."

"I bought this tea box at Qinyuan Zhai today." Wu Bai replied.

"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with me. The tea box was handled by Xiang Zhicheng." Shen Shi hurriedly said.

Wu Bai looked at Xiang Zhicheng, and said with a serious face: "Xiang Zhicheng, I will give you another chance at the end, will you recruit or not?"

The yamen servants on both sides shouted at the right time: "Mighty~~~" The sticks in their hands kept hitting the ground, making loud shouts.

Xiang Zhicheng gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he bowed his head and said, "I tricked, I poisoned the tea and killed my father."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ye stood up from the ground in anger. She slapped Xiang Zhicheng hard and said angrily, "You bastard!"

The two yamen servants hurriedly pulled her back, but Mrs. Ye still stared at Xiang Zhicheng tightly.

Wu Bai patted the gavel, looked at Xiang Zhicheng and continued to ask, "Why did you kill Master Xiang? And where did you hide the tea box?"

"I buried the tea box under the grass in the garden. Why did I kill my father?" Xiang Zhicheng suddenly sneered, "Because he deserves to die!"

"Master, why did I feel sorry for you, Xiang family provided you with food and clothing, never treated you badly, and let you do such a cruel thing to master?" Ye Shi asked with red eyes.

"Hahaha... The Xiang family has indeed never treated me badly. Since you have treated me so well, why can't you continue to do so?" Xiang Zhicheng asked back.

"What do you mean by that? When did my master and I treat you badly?" Mrs. Ye asked.

"My father told me since I was a child that everything in the family will be left to me in the future, but he actually wanted to have a biological child not long ago, haha, is it ridiculous? At such an old age, he actually wants to have a biological child?" Xiang Zhicheng said mockingly.

"You're talking nonsense! The master has taught you a lot since childhood. He has mentioned to me many times that all the family property will be left to you in the future." Ye retorted.

Xiang Zhicheng pointed to Shen and said, "She was brought back by my father to carry on the family line. Does mother really think that my father has suddenly become lustful?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ye suddenly remembered something, and she suddenly said: "You had a big fight with the master because of this matter a few months ago? Unfortunately, I thought you were arguing for me!"

"That's right, my father told me at that time that if I have a biological child in the future, let me go out of the mansion and live away. Everything in Xiang's mansion is mine. How can I be willing to give it up to others." Xiang Zhicheng said this , he looked at Shen Shi, and continued: "Father, that useless man, doesn't even look down on his own woman. He must have never thought that Shen Shi is already mine."

Ye Shi looked at Xiang Zhicheng and Shen Shi in shock, and she cursed angrily: "You two bastards, you did such a shameful thing!"

Wu Bai patted the gavel, and said to Xiang Zhicheng: "Since you have confessed, you can sign it!"

Shen said: "My lord, this matter was done by Xiang Zhicheng, it has nothing to do with me."

"You and Xiang Zhicheng not only committed the crime of adultery, but also murdered Mr. Xiang as insiders, and framed Mrs. Ye. Today, I sentence you both to death, and you will be executed after autumn." Wu Bai said sharply.

Shen still had to defend herself for a while, but was dragged down by the yamen servants.

Wu Bai looked at Mrs. Ye and said, "You have been cleared of your charges now, you can go back."

Ye's body was slightly blessed and said: "Thank you, my lord, for elucidating the grievances of the women."

"This is what I should do." Wu Bai nodded.
