Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 269 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General

"Let me go! Let me go! What are you doing?"

The little horse struggled desperately.

But the little horse's struggles were of no use.

There was no way to break free.

Because of his struggle, the guards tightened their grip even more, and Xiao Ma felt like his arms were about to break, his entire upper body almost parallel to the ground.

As the crowd watched Xiao Ma being led out, they began to murmur amongst themselves.

It's Xiao Ma again this time; I wonder what mistake he made this time.

Hearing the murmurs, Xiao Ma strained to look up and saw a group of people laughing at him.

There was also a butler, and a guard next to the butler was holding a board.

Xiao Ma was familiar with that board; the last time he saw it, he had been given twenty strokes of the cane.

Is the butler going to beat him again today?

Why?

"Xiao Ma, you abandoned your post and disregarded your master during your duty period. Do you know your mistake?"

The butler looked at Xiao Ma and publicly announced his mistake.

"I had diarrhea all night, so I'm taking a break today."

When you called me, didn't I get up immediately? I'm always available whenever you need me, so how can that be considered dereliction of duty?

There is no question of them disregarding their master.

I haven't even seen my master yet, how could I possibly ignore him?

Xiao Ma would definitely have to explain himself.

With two charges against him now, who knows how many lashes he'll get and how much he'll be fined.

Besides, he lives right next to the stables, so how can you say he abandoned his post?

The horse has already been fed, so there's no need for him to go out. What's wrong with him resting in his room?

Wasn't it always like this?

He doesn't accept that this was dereliction of duty.

If this counts, then everyone is derelict in their duties.

Was the person sweeping the floor always sweeping?

Is the person cooking always cooking?

Isn't it enough to rest once you've finished your work?

He was even more wronged for disregarding his master.

He didn't see his master today.

"The master is going out today, so I asked you to prepare the car, but you were sleeping, so I asked someone else to prepare the car."

When my wife is about to go out, I ask you to prepare the car, but you are still sleeping, so someone else prepares the car for you.

The third time, when the young master and young lady wanted to ride horses, I let you choose the horses again, but you were still sleeping.

Once or twice, but not a third time.

When you woke up, the young master and young lady were gone.

Just because you were sleeping and didn't see it doesn't mean nothing happened.

If you didn't abandon your post, then why did I see you sleeping every time I came?

Did you deliberately choose to sleep when I came over?

I don't expect you to be working all the time. Of course you can rest after you've finished your work.

However, it's wrong to just sleep soundly when someone needs to contact you.

You're probably still half asleep. Take a look at the stables, is something missing?

Everyone looked around.

The other two grooms were not there.

Two cars are missing.

Everyone on the master and mistress's side knows that they did indeed go out today and haven't returned yet.

There were only two horses left in the stable; the others were gone.

Xiao Ma also glanced around, and it seemed that what the butler said was correct.

He had already guessed that the master was leaving.

After all, the master goes out every day.

Has the lady gone out as well?

He really didn't remember the young master and young lady.

"This time, Xiao Ma will receive thirty strokes of the cane; the punishment begins."

The butler waved his hand.

Xiao Ma was pinned to the stool, and the guards stepped forward with a board to begin the punishment.

"Butler, I was confused. I ate the food from the kitchen yesterday and I've had diarrhea ever since, all night long."

My body just couldn't take it anymore, that's why I slept so soundly.

I accompany my grandfather out every day. If I could get up, I definitely would.

"Housekeeper, I suspect the kitchen staff deliberately drugged me, which is why I have had diarrhea for so long."

Little Horse defended himself.

Those people in the kitchen are awful.

He knew these people weren't being kind enough to leave him food.

Not only did she give herself diarrhea, but now she's going to make him get a beating.

"Little Ma, don't make false accusations."

Our kitchen is spotless; there's no dirt or grime there.

You say the food in our kitchen isn't clean? Everyone, please be the judge. Has anyone else gotten diarrhea after eating there?

When the kitchen staff saw that Xiao Ma was blaming them for the incident, they immediately stepped forward.

They put something on the pony, so what?

They've already taken care of it.

Even if the housekeeper investigates, he won't find anything.

Moreover, it was a laxative prescribed by a doctor because someone was constipated and couldn't defecate.

There was an extra medicine, so I gave it all to Xiao Ma.

Everyone shook their heads; they didn't have diarrhea.

However, everyone knew that there were a few people in the kitchen who didn't get along with Xiao Ma.

Maybe they really did set Xiao Ma up on purpose.

However, they wouldn't stand up for Xiao Ma.

There was no evidence to support this claim, so Xiao Ma could only accept his bad luck.

Moreover, they didn't want to offend the people in the kitchen.

People who can work in the kitchen usually have some connections.

We mustn't offend them.

“Yesterday at noon I ate the food from the kitchen, and when I got back I started having diarrhea. There must be something wrong with the food you gave me.”

"The food you are given is the same as everyone else's food."

And how would we know when you'd be back, or if you'd go out for dinner?

Every time you and the master go out and come back late, don't you never come to eat?

"Do you think we knew in advance that you would eat, and deliberately poisoned you?"

The kitchen staff also argued their case.

In fact, they had already administered the drug long ago.

The meals are prepared there every day, and Xiao Ma is fed whenever he comes to the kitchen.

In fact, the food had been reheated three times.

Xiao Ma was speechless for a moment.

Yes, that day he went to the kitchen to eat on a whim, wanting to show off the snacks the master had given him.

Besides, he hadn't originally intended to eat.

Could they possibly be prophetic?

"Butler, this was found in Xiao Ma's room."

Someone sneaked into Xiao Ma's room, intending to put a cockroach on Xiao Ma's bed.

After Xiao Ma was punished and lay on the bed, he was startled by a cockroach and fell off the bed.

The thought of that scene is intriguing.

Who told Xiao Ma to smear the people in their kitchen?

But they were surprised to find snacks on the table in Xiao Ma's room.

This dessert looks exquisite, tastes delicious, and is very expensive.

These are clearly not snacks that servants would have in their kitchen. Could it be that Xiao Ma stole them from his master's kitchen?

She immediately grabbed the snacks and ran out.

"Butler, look, these pastries were found in Xiao Ma's room. There are no such pastries in the servants' kitchen. Xiao Ma must have stolen them."

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't steal it. It was a gift from the master."

Little Horse shouted loudly.

Speaking of this snack, his face was full of pride. It was a unique gift from the master to him.
