Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

I have to say that the bookstore that Village Chief Wu chose for Wu Bai is really good. It is the largest bookstore in Nanping Town, and the atmosphere inside is very good. The center of the bookstore is lined with rows of shelves. There are comfortable seats on both sides of the wall, which can be used for people to sit and read in the bookstore. The remaining two walls, one is used to place the counter, and the other side is equipped with many desks, which can be used by students to copy books here. , while exchanging for the books you need.

Although the entire bookstore is large and there are quite a lot of people inside, the environment is very quiet, and no one is making loud noises inside.

I heard that there is a platform set up in the back hall of the bookstore, and there will be a knowledge competition every once in a while. The winner can get a book from the bookstore for free. All the same, being able to get a book for free is already a treasure for those students.

Wu Bai wandered around in this bookstore, and found that there were still many notices pasted on the counter. They were all kinds of notices that the bookstore sent people to copy from the yamen every day, and they were specially displayed to the students who came to the bookstore for discussion. There are many categories of these notices. , there are analyzes of various cases, as well as analysis of people's conditions in various places, as well as various documents issued by the imperial court, and so on.

Because the behind-the-scenes owner of this bookstore is the magistrate of the county, this matter is known to many people in the town, so it is not surprising that these things appear in this bookstore.

The current county magistrate of Qinghuai County is quite loved by the local people. Since he came to Qinghuai County, he has indeed done a lot of practical things for the local people. He has never done anything to bully the people, and he is even willing to listen to the people. Views.

There was a murder case in Qinghuai County before. The county magistrate couldn't catch the murderer, so he was helpless, so he wrote the murder case on the notice. He originally hoped to use this method to see if he could find any witnesses. After seeing this notice, the student immediately discovered the flaws in the murder case, and finally helped the county magistrate to solve the murder case and catch the murderer.

The county magistrate did not claim credit either, he truthfully reported the names of those who contributed to the case, and in the end the student who helped solve the case was directly recommended to go to the Fucheng Student Superintendent, which aroused the envy of many students at that time , of course the county magistrate has also been praised by the above, as long as he works here for three years without making any mistakes, then after the three-year period expires, he will definitely have the opportunity to rise to another level.

As for the county magistrate who also tasted the sweetness in this incident, it is said that three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang, not to mention the educated people in the entire Qinghuai County, so he got it in the bookstores he opened. A bulletin board is to hope that some students can help him solve difficulties together.

Not to mention, since he got this, his efficiency has greatly improved. In the previous two years of assessment, he was excellent every time.

After Wu Bai saw this bulletin board, he understood the county magistrate's plan at a glance, because although his husband once became the prime minister, he was also a junior official. Fang's calculations, in order to prevent his little husband from accidentally falling into other people's tricks, Xiao Zimo often analyzed and explained to Wu Bai about his official duties and the situation of the various forces in the court.

So Wu Bai synthesized the information he had inquired in his heart, and calculated that the county magistrate will be promoted and leave Qinghuai County at the end of May tomorrow, that is, after the township examination next year.

In this way, if Second Brother Wu can be admitted to Juren in next year's township examination, then Second Brother Wu has a great chance to be directly replaced by Juren as the county magistrate.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai felt even more stressed.

But just like the mantra that his husband often talks about, 'no pressure, no motivation'.

Wu Bai immediately bought paper and borrowed pen and ink from the counter of the bookstore, and then leaned down in front of the counter and began to copy the announcements.

Because Wu's father gave Wu Bai pocket money before he left, Wu Bai had pocket money to rent pens and inks from the bookstore.

Wu Bai devoted himself to copying all kinds of useful information on the bulletin board, so he didn't notice that a carriage passed by the door of the bookstore. The curtain of the carriage was raised, and one could see a man sitting inside Man, the man sat in the carriage and stopped in his direction for a while, then ordered the driver to drive the carriage and leave.

When Wu Bai found that someone was looking at him, he looked at the source of the line of sight, and only saw the rear of a carriage, but no one was looking at him. Wu Bai shook his head, thinking: I am really I'm a little dizzy copying these things!

By the time Village Chief Wu returned to the bookstore after finishing his work, Wu Bai had almost finished copying, but the ink on the last two sheets of paper hadn't dried yet. My brother is literate, this bookstore is so big, there are plenty of story books, he will definitely not feel bored, he just regrets that he didn't take Wu Bai around the town more.

The sun in the sky gradually set to the west. The father and son waited for a while, and the ink on the paper that Wu Bai copied was finally dry. He folded the paper he copied, held it in his hand, and followed Wu Bai out of the bookstore.

Wu's father is literate, so he naturally saw what Wu Bai copied, but he didn't ask his younger brother what he did to copy those announcements. As long as his younger brother didn't do anything wrong, copying something is nothing.

The two walked towards the college, because their ox cart was still in the stable of the college.

Because the end of school was coming soon, the father and son walked away, saying that they would wait for Brother Wu after school, and the three of them went home in a bullock cart together.

After Wu's father and Wu Bai returned to the academy, they went to the stable to put the ox cart in the morning, but found that the ox cart was gone.

No, it should be said that the car was unloaded, but it was still in place, but the cow was gone.

The two were shocked. This cow was borrowed from a villager's house. It would be a terrible thing to lose it. Cows are a lot of property in the farmer's family. If others can lend them for use, it depends on Wu's father being the village head. For the sake of it, now that the cow was gone, Wu's father was in a hurry. It's not that the Wu family couldn't afford to pay for the cow, but after paying for the cow, the Wu family would have to suffer a lot.

Father Wu wondered if he had misremembered the location. He checked back and forth in the stable, and found that his location was absolutely correct, and the unloaded car was proof, but when he checked, he also found that The other cows in the barn were not the one he had come this morning at all.

Because there are not many cattle-raising families in Xingfeng Village, only two or three households. When the farming season is busy, there are few people in the village who have to borrow cattle from each other. Naturally, the Wu family has also borrowed cattle, and Village Chief Wu usually needs to go to the town for urgent matters. Or when the county went to do it, he would borrow ox carts from the villagers, and he could even say what the cattle in the village looked like, he remembered it clearly.

Now that the cow is gone, Village Chief Wu is very anxious.

Wu Bai didn't expect such a thing to happen either. He took a closer look at the ropes on the frame of the ox cart, and found that these things didn't look like they were worn out by the ox itself and then ran out.

He came to the side gate of the college, asked the gatekeeper and asked, "Uncle, my cow in the stable is gone. Did you see anyone leading the cow out?"

When the gatekeeper heard Wu Bai's question, his eyes flickered, and he said, "I haven't seen any cows go out, the cows in the college usually only go out in the afternoon, why did your cow disappear? Have you searched inside?"

Wu Bai looked at the other party's appearance and knew that the other party must not be telling the truth. He was about to ask again when he heard a voice behind him: "Father, little brother, are you waiting for me to go home together?"

Father Wu was feeling uncomfortable right now, with his head hanging down, not in the mood to answer Wu Kang'an's words.

"Second brother, my dad and I planned to wait for you to go home after school at the ox cart, but when we arrived, we found that the ox was gone, and there was only a carriage frame left in place. Can you ask the student's wife for help? Let’s look for it together. We’ve searched all over the stables but couldn’t find it. I asked the gatekeeper just now, and he said that he didn’t see any cows going out, so I guess the cows may have accidentally broken into the classroom where you study. On the other hand, I think it is better to find it as soon as possible, so as not to frighten the students of the academy." Wu Bai said to Wu Kang'an one by one.

When Wu Kang'an heard that Wu Bai said that the cow was lost, he was also very anxious, but when he heard that the younger brother said that he would tell the masters of the college about it, and find the cow as soon as possible, so as not to disturb others, he felt that what the younger brother said was right, so he immediately Nodding his head, he turned and walked in the direction of the classroom.

He was anxious, so he didn't notice that when Wu Bai mentioned telling the master of the academy, the uncle gatekeeper's face turned blue.

Wu Bai naturally noticed it. He felt that there was something wrong with the flickering eyes of this person just now, so when he was talking to Wu Kang'an, he paid special attention to this person's face, and he found something wrong.

It's just that he didn't have any evidence, and he didn't know if it was this person who stole the cow, or the other party saw who took the cow away, but no matter what, the other party must know something inside.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai decided to give the other party a chance, so he asked the other party again: "Uncle, think about it carefully and see if you can think of anything. If we can find our cattle smoothly, our family will be well." Thank you for your?"

The uncle guarding the gate looked at Wu Bai's clear and transparent eyes, as if he had understood everything. He panicked for a moment, but he quickly stabilized his mind, thinking: It's just a young boy Forget it, I haven't seen anyone before, so can I still be bluffed by him?

So, the uncle who guarded the gate immediately shook his head again, and replied again: "I'm sorry, I really haven't seen your cow go out, maybe I thought what you said just now, and ran to the classroom by accident. Look for more!"
