Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

One and a half months later, Wu Bai and his party finally arrived in the capital.

Wu Bai looked in the direction of the palace, feeling very excited, he was finally going to see Xiao Zimo.

After the group entered the city, Wu Bai cupped his hands to Qin Tianhua and said, "Thank you little general for taking care of me this time. Wu Bai is very grateful."

Qin Tianhua said to Wu Bai: "Master Wu, you don't need to be so polite. If you didn't have Master Wu's help before, my Qin family should have become a sinner of Da Shun by now. If you say thank you, I should be the one who thanked Master Wu."

"The little general has to return to the palace, let's leave now." Wu Bai said with a smile.

"Well, take my leave." Qin Tianhua glanced at Fang Huayuan, and then left with others.

Wu Bai took Wu's father, Wu's mother, and Fang Huayuan to the Yahang to rent a mansion and live there temporarily.

On the other side, Qin Tianhua entered the palace with the gold and silver treasures sent by Xiao Yueke and Dayang Kingdom.

Xiao Zimo was furious when he saw Xiao Yueke who was tied up with five flowers. He endured his anger and asked Qin Tianhua: "Qin Aiqing, can you explain to me that I asked you to escort the princess to Beijing, but did not ask you to escort the princess to the capital?" She is going to Beijing!"

Qin Tianhua knelt on the ground, and he replied: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do this. The three princesses colluded with Prince Dayang and wanted to steal the border defense map. In desperation, I and my father had no choice but to take her down."

Xiao Yueke immediately retorted: "Brother Huang, don't listen to his nonsense, he framed me in this matter!"

The anger on Xiao Zimo's face dissipated, and he asked suspiciously: "What's going on?"

"I was just curious about the scenery of the border town, so I ran to the border town with a lot of fun. Who knew that the Qin family father and son would frame me and I colluded with foreign enemies. Brother Huang, I have suffered so much along the way. You must be the master for me!" Xiao Yue But he said with an aggrieved face.

Qin Tianhua snorted coldly, and told everything about how Xiao Yueke cheated to get the border defense map in the border town, and how he got it. Then he took out Mu Haoyan's confession and presented it to Xiao Zimo.

"Your Majesty, this is the testimony of Prince Dayang," Qin Tianhua raised his hand and said.

After Xiao Zimo took the testimony and read it, his complexion sank, he looked at Xiao Yueke, and said sharply: "Yueke, do you have something to say?"

"Brother Huang, it's all because of the Qin family's father and son uniting to frame me, what do you want me to say!" Xiao Yueke said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee with my life that everything is true and there is no deceit." Qin Tianhua said loudly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zimo came to a conclusion in his mind, and he said, "Come here, take the princess down and imprison her, and execute her after I find out the truth."

"Yes." Soon two guards came in and took Xiao Yueke down.

For this result, Qin Tianhua was not too surprised. After all, if the emperor believed his words easily, then something was wrong, and the correct way to do it was to check it out.

Xiao Zimo looked at Qin Tianhua again, and said, "Qin Aiqing has worked hard for this trip to Beijing."

"It's not hard work for me." Qin Tianhua shook his head and said.

"Old General Qin mentioned Wu Bai, the magistrate of Yishi County, in the booklet. He also participated in this plan to lure the enemy. Old General Qin didn't go into details in the booklet. Qin Aiqing might as well tell me about him." Xiao Zi Ink said.

"It's a coincidence that Mr. Wu happened to be traveling with Weichen when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. The third princess passed through Yishi County when she went to the border town, which aroused Mr. Wu's suspicion. So Mr. Wu sent someone to follow the third princess to the border town... …Later, the third princess wanted to cheat the border defense map, but was guarded by her father. Mr. Wu happened to come to the border town. He used a potion to disguise himself as a princess, and gave a fake border defense map to Prince Dayang. The prince begged for credit Sincerely, he was taken in and captured... Later, the humble officials went to Beijing, passed through Yishi County, and went to Beijing with Mr. Wu and the others." Qin Tianhua said eloquently.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen in just a few months, and Wu Bai seems to have contributed a lot." Xiao Zimo sighed.

"That's right, Mr. Wu's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I admire you so much." Qin Tianhua sighed in admiration.

Xiao Zimo then asked some more questions about Wu Bai, and then he waved his hand and said, "Qin Aiqing is exhausted from traveling all the way, this task has been completed, so let's step down!"

"Resignation, my servant." Qin Tianhua bowed his hands and withdrew.

After he retreated, Xiao Zimo waved his hand, and a man in black appeared in front of him, and he said, "Go and find out everything that happened to Xiao Yueke after he left the palace."

"Yes." After the man in black answered, he quickly disappeared into the imperial study.

The next day, Wu Bai went to the Ministry of Officials with his work report documents. He handed over the documents to the officials in charge of document dispatching in the Ministry of Officials, and then left the Ministry of Officials.

After he left, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs walked into the room of the official in charge of the paperwork.

"Master Shi Lang, why are you here?" Yuan Wai Lang, who was in charge of the paperwork, asked.

"Where's the document from that person just now?" asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Yuan Wai Lang picked up the document that Wu Bai put down, handed it to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and said, "This is it, my lord, please take a look."

The servant of the Ministry of Officials looked through the document and saw the word Wu Bai. He closed the document with a snap, threw it on the table, and said, "Put this document at the bottom, don't submit it."

"Yes, my lord." Yuanwailang replied respectfully.

"Okay, you can continue with your work!" The official servant shook his sleeves and left the room.

Yuanwailang looked at Wu Bai's paperwork, shook his head and sighed in his heart: I don't know where Wu Bai offended Mr. Minister, what a pity!After finally returning from Yishi County, but now he can't take up the post.

Two days later, Xiao Zimo flipped through the notebooks on the table, and asked his personal eunuch, "Are all the notebooks from the past few days here?"

"Yes." The eunuch replied.

"Why didn't I see Wu Bai's book?" Xiao Zimo asked in surprise.

"Maybe Mr. Wu has not gone to the Ministry of Officials to submit the documents." The eunuch guessed.

"Forget it, since he has returned to Beijing, let's call him into the palace directly!" Xiao Zimo ordered.

"Yes." The eunuch hurried out of the imperial study and passed on the emperor's will.

When Wu Bai received the summons, he was overjoyed, he immediately changed his official robes, and followed the messenger into the palace.

When Xiao Zimo saw Wu Bai for the first time, he always felt that there was something wrong with the other party. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the other party's official robe. This official robe is too loose, especially the waist, it should be cut properly. It would be better if it fit better. Thinking of this, Xiao Zimo couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Xiao Zimo frowning at him, Wu Bai couldn't help shouting.

"Your official robe...cough cough, since Wu Aiqing came to Beijing, why didn't you hand over the report papers to the official department?" Xiao Zimo came back to his senses and asked.

Wu Bai replied: "The minister submitted the document to the Ministry of Officials the day before yesterday."

Hearing this, Xiao Zimo immediately looked at the eunuch beside him and asked him what was going on.

The eunuch immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the official department sent only those documents to the palace, and the rest, I don't know about it!"

Xiao Zimo glared at him, and then said: "Go to the official department and bring the official in charge of this matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch quickly stood up and retreated.

"I have already heard Qin Aiqing talk about Wu Aiqing's achievements in the border town. I called you into the palace this time to ask Wu Aiqing if there is any reward you want?" Xiao Zimo said to Wu Bai with a pleasant face.

Wu Bai's face was serious, and he watched Xiao Zimo make decisions for himself with satisfaction in his heart. At this moment, when he heard Xiao Zimo ask him what reward he wanted, he almost blurted out "I want Your Majesty", but he pulled back his reason in time, and finally said: " Wei Chen still lacks a mansion in Beijing."

"The mansion?" Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai in surprise. In the past, when he rewarded his ministers with things, the other party always pushed back and forth. He didn't expect Wu Bai to want the mansion so straightforwardly.

Xiao Zimo said: "Since Wu Aiqing proposed a mansion, I will give you a mansion."

"Your Majesty, I have one more condition." Wu Bai said.

"What conditions?" Xiao Zimo asked along the words.

"I hope this mansion is closer to the imperial palace." Wu Bai said with a normal expression.

"...Yes." Xiao Zimo nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Bai suddenly smiled.

Seeing him so happy, Xiao Zimo couldn't help laughing himself.

Then the two chatted casually. Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo talked about some interesting things they encountered in Yishi County and border towns. Xiao Zimo listened with great interest and asked a few more questions from time to time. Laughter.

At this time, the eunuch came with Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Officials.

Wu Bai immediately sat upright, put away his smiling face, and looked towards the door.

Wailang, a member of the official department, walked into the imperial study tremblingly. When he saw Wu Bai, his face was ashen.

He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Zimo asked with a sullen face, "What mistake did you make?"

"I shouldn't have withheld Lord Wu's booklet, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me, but I just obeyed orders." Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, argued.

"Follow orders? How absurd!" Xiao Zimo patted the imperial case heavily, and said, "Who ordered you to act like this? Could it be that my orders are not as good as his!"

Yuan Wai Lang kowtowed non-stop, and hurriedly said: "It was the minister who asked me to do this, please forgive me!"

"Come here, bring the servant of the official department." Xiao Zimo ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch hurried away.

After a while, he walked into the imperial study with the servant of the official department. Wu Bai looked at the other party carefully and made sure that he did not know him. He was also very curious about how he had offended him.

Xiao Zimo asked sharply: "Wan Aiqing, what crime should you be guilty of withholding the official's report papers from the imperial court?"

Wan Wenxing quickly knelt on the ground and argued: "I am wronged, I have never done such a thing, please Your Majesty to investigate."

Seeing that Wan Wenxing's Minister of the Ministry of Officials denied it, Yuanwai Lang said anxiously: "Master Minister, it was clearly you who ordered me not to submit Wu Bai's document to His Majesty the day before yesterday, how can you deny it now!"

"Lord Liu, I have never done such a thing before, so please don't open your mouth to slander me." Wan Wenxing looked at Yuanwailang and said.

"I didn't slander you, you told me to do it the day before yesterday!" Yuanwailang insisted.

"Master Liu wants to frame this official with empty words and white teeth, what is his intention!" Wan Wenxing stared angrily at Yuan Wailang and said.

Immediately afterwards, the two argued in the imperial study.

"Shut up, everyone!" Xiao Zimo said impatiently, "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Yuan Wai Lang conspired to secretly detain the officials' papers, reward them with fifty big boards, and lose their positions."

As soon as the words fell, Wan Wenxing and the two quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Come here, take them down." Xiao Zimo ordered.

Soon two guards walked in and dragged them out.

Wu Bai stood up and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being the master of this humble minister."

Xiao Zimo waved his hands and said: "Wu Aiqing has made great contributions in the border town this time, and I will never let Wu Aiqing be wronged."

"It's getting late, I'm leaving." Wu Bai clasped his hands.

"Go!" Xiao Zimo nodded.

After Wu Bai left the palace, the emperor's reward was quickly sent to his residence. He put away the deed in his hand, and then asked the eunuch, "My lord, who are these two embroidered girls?"

Wang Gonggong replied: "This is the embroidered girl specially rewarded by His Majesty to Master Wu, and specially made a suitable official robe for Master Wu."

"...Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Wu Bai smiled and sent the prince away.

When the prince returned to the palace, Xiao Zimo asked, "How did Wu Aiqing react?"

"Master Wu only said, 'Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward'." The prince replied.

"Does he look happy?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"Lord Wu looks very happy." Eunuch Wang replied.

"It's good to be happy, it seems that this reward is not wrong." Xiao Zimo nodded secretly.
