It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"This is Master Weng, the owner of this manor and the person entrusted by the general to settle us. The suspect has been found. Now please let Master Weng say a few words to everyone."

Weng Xiaoxiao stepped forward, looked around, and clasped his fists. "Manager Zhou has already told me who I am. My last name is Weng and my given name is Xiao. I am a scholar. The suspect is my subordinate. I will not protect him or condone him. I have already reported the case to the police, and they will handle it impartially. Something happened at the manor, and I happened to be away. I hope you will forgive me if I handled it improperly."

"Just don't look at people through the crack in the door." Someone whispered.

"Yes, we don't do such dirty things."

No one wants to be wronged, so it's normal for the wounded to complain a little. Weng Xiaoxiao didn't care and continued, "There is a manor, and the negotiation has been almost completed. Once it's bought, everyone can move in."

"We have our own territory too?"

"The general will not lie to us."

Seeing the heated discussions, Zhou Zheng spoke up to stop everyone from talking.

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled, "Everyone knows that there are more people staying in Qingyuan. At that time, we bought a large piece of land and built houses for everyone, and also built a wine-making workshop. Now the manor has begun to take shape. We should treat everyone equally. I am also going to arrange it this way. Everyone can do what they can, and they can make money if they are not idle."

"Is it really that good?" someone asked doubtfully.

Weng Xiaoxiao was not angry, and said patiently: "You have received the court's pension, and the general could have stopped interfering. However, the general thought of our friendship and sympathized with your difficult life, so he asked me to take over and settle you down and give you a place to live. Did you pay for your food and accommodation here? No! So, don't doubt anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry. We all know what's good for us. It's not easy to find a job when you're homeless and disabled, not to mention discrimination and abuse."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Zheng and nodded. "I was entrusted by the general, so I will naturally fulfill my promise. What I can do for you is to try my best to settle you down, so that everyone has work to do, food to eat, and a place to live. As for the rest, it depends on you. After I finish the things on the farm, I will go to sign the contract. In the next few days, please be patient and take good care of yourself. When you get there, you won't have time to relax!"

"Don't worry, boss. We are all honest men and we will not be lazy when doing our work."

"Thank you, boss!"

"We'll do a good job."

After giving everyone reassurances, Weng Xiaoxiao did not stay for long, as she estimated that Captain Li and his men would be here soon.

"Manager Zhou, come with me and take a look. You should all know how to handle the follow-up."

Soldiers who fight in wars like to associate with upright people. Before meeting Weng Xiaoxiao, Zhou Zheng was nervous because he was afraid of meeting a sly and unscrupulous businessman, but he was even more worried about leaving his brothers behind and going away on his own.

Now that he had seen what kind of person Weng Xiaoxiao was, Zhou Zheng no longer had any worries in his heart. He was full of energy and followed Weng Xiaoxiao happily, talking about the conditions of many injured people along the way.

......

They called Liu Yuan, and before they could say a few words, Captain Li and four yamen runners arrived.

"Brother Weng, how long have you been back? You've been out for quite a while."

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and greeted him, bowing in return, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your concern. I arrived yesterday and didn't even have time to enter the house before I rushed to the farm. I'm sorry to bother you brothers with this matter."

"It's my duty to eat when I'm on duty. You're too polite, Brother Weng."

"Brother Li, please come in. This is probably the situation."

"please."

The two walked in sync, and Weng Xiaoxiao briefly explained what happened.

"Captain Li, I have sorted out all the investigation information. If you need anything else, we will fully cooperate." When it came to official business, Weng Xiaoxiao changed her address.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Weng." Captain Li looked at the two piles of testimony and raised his eyebrows. "Did you find the suspect?"

"The victim was knocked unconscious and had no idea who did it. After investigation, these are the most likely suspects." Weng Xiaoxiao handed over the doubts she had sorted out.

Captain Li grinned at the sight and said, "Mr. Weng can become a criminal lawyer."

"I don't deserve it, I just did my best. There was almost a fight yesterday, and in order to appease everyone, I had to find the suspect as soon as possible. I stepped in and took over."

Captain Li waved his hands. He said that the other party was being polite and he couldn't just take advantage of the situation. Not to mention his relationship with the two sons of the Ouyang family, no one in the black and white worlds dared to provoke the man in front of him just because of Nie Feng's support.

"Liu Yuan is out of town on business, and he can find witnesses. There are two injured people without witnesses, but the suspicion is not strong. My subordinate Xiaotian is a suspect, and he has admitted it. The person has been controlled and can be handed over to Captain Li at any time."

This makes things much easier, as we already have the testimony and the suspect.

Captain Li quickly flipped through the documents and asked, "Why is there no testimony from the suspect?"

"We are only questioning verbally. It is better to leave the testimony to the adults."

Captain Li nodded. Master Weng was a very sensible man.

"I have also sent people to protect the scene, and asked Captain Li to lead the investigation to see if there is any evidence. If the suspect turns against us, this case will be difficult to handle."

Captain Li naturally thought of this key point. If the man insisted that he had been forced to confess, there would be no way to convict him without witnesses or physical evidence. Of course, if Master Weng believed that he was guilty, it was not impossible to make him confess and sign, but it was obviously not his intention.

"I will personally lead people to investigate the scene. The victim must go back with me. We need to do a body examination. It will be difficult to convict without one. Please help arrange it, Master Weng."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. After reporting to the police, these steps were inevitable.

Liu Yuan, as the head of the village, led the way. As soon as the group went out, they were stopped by Xiaohua's mother.

Looking at the officer, he shrank back and dared not step forward, and knelt down in front of Weng Xiaoxiao.

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at the kneeling woman in confusion, "Auntie, what are you doing? Do you have anything to say? I've already reported it to the authorities, and they will give Xiaohua justice."

"Mother Xiaohua, go back first. The adults are doing their work and will ask you about it later." Liu Yuan half squatted down and persuaded patiently.

"Boss, we won't sue anymore, we won't sue anymore... My Xiaohua has a miserable life. She can't go for body examinations anymore. She will not survive..." Xiaohua's mother lay on the ground and cried breathlessly.

Everyone present was moved.

However, if the authorities are alerted, they have to follow the case handling procedures. Without a physical examination, they cannot explain the injuries and how to convict the person? Especially if the case may involve a capital crime, it must be reported to the Ministry of Justice for verification and approval.
