Commander Wei

Chapter 8

When Wei Sanshi saw his son being arrested, he shouted in panic, "Sir!

Sir, what are you doing?

We've already paid!

We've already paid! "

Unexpectedly, the leading official sneered, "The money you paid is only enough to buy your exemption from military service, but your son will still be conscripted into the army!"

Wei Sanshi said in a daze, "Didn't you say that each family can only send one able-bodied man?

My son is a scholar!

He'll be taking the county level examinations very soon! "

The official said coldly, "If I say that your family needs to send two able-bodied men, then your family needs to send two!

Furthermore, your son is only a scholar and not a county level scholar, so he doesn't have the right to be exempted from military service! "

When Wei Sanshi saw that his son had been arrested, he didn't dare to go against the official. He hurriedly said in a submissive tone, "I'll pay!

I'll pay for my son's exemption from military service! "

The official who was about to take Wei Xiuyuan away stopped in his tracks and looked at Wei Sanshi mockingly as he frantically took out another fifteen taels of silver.

The official snatched the fifteen taels of silver from Wei Sanshi's hands and laughed, "Today's profits are not bad. Brothers, let's go back and have a good drink!

Let's go! "

Then, ignoring Wei Sanshi's eager gaze, they grabbed Wei Xiuyuan and were about to leave.

Wei Sanshi grabbed the official's sleeve in panic and shouted, "Sir!

I've already paid, please let my son go!

You've already taken the money! "

After receiving the thirty taels of silver, the official was in a good mood and didn't make things difficult for Wei Sanshi. He only waved away Wei Sanshi's hand that was grabbing his sleeve and laughed, "Now that the quota has increased, thirty taels is only enough for you to be exempted, but your son must be conscripted into the army!"

Wei Sanshi stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared blankly at the fierce-looking officials as they took his son away.

At this point, how could he not know that these vampires were collecting money and capturing people!

However, Wei Xiuyuan knew better than Wei Sanshi that there was clearly someone behind these officials arresting him.

For he had heard the two officials, who were of a higher rank, whispering to one another.

"It should be Wei Xiuyuan, right?"

"Father, Wei Sanshi. He lives in Peach Tree Village and is still a scholar. That's right."

When Wei Xiuyuan heard this conversation, he knew that someone behind the scenes wanted him dead on purpose. However, they couldn't kill him openly, so they used the conscription as an opportunity to send him to the meat grinder of the battlefield.

No matter how much money his father Wei Sanshi offered, these officials would still arrest him. It was just that these officials were too greedy and took away all the 30 taels that he had left for the Wei family.

As for the mastermind, Wei Xiuyuan could not think of anyone other than the Peng family.

The original owner of his body was a peasant boy who only cared about studying. Who else could he offend other than Pang Yaozu?

Moreover, he had only transmigrated for a few days.

Therefore, the only one who would want to kill him was the Peng family.

Other than Peng County Magistrate, who else had the ability to order the conscription officials to arrest him?

Wei Xiuyuan could guess Peng County Magistrate's thoughts. He felt that Pang Yaozu had beaten him up on the street and that there was already a death grudge between them. He might as well cut off his path to the imperial examinations and send him to his death on the battlefield.

A scholar without the strength to truss a chicken would definitely not be able to survive on the battlefield.

It was too easy for County Magistrate Peng to kill a scholar who held a grudge against his only son in such a justifiable way.

However, it was a pity that the real scholar had long been beaten to death by Peng Yaozu on the streets. Right now, it was the Federation's Grand Marshal, Wei Xiuyuan, who had come from the interstellar space and fought against the insectoids for several hundred years.

Marshal Wei expressed that there would be no problem with a mere cold weapon battlefield on an ancient planet!

Wei Xiuyuan was forced to join the army, and the Wei family was filled with miserable cries.

One son of the Wei family's first branch and second branch had also been taken away. Wei Dashi and Wei Ershi wanted to replace their sons, but they couldn't because the officials thought that they were not as strong as their sons.

However, at least these two branches had more than one son. The sons who were taken away to join the army also had bloodlines left behind, so they wouldn't die off on the battlefield.

On the other hand, the third branch was the most miserable. Their only son, who was studying, was taken away to serve as a soldier. He was basically sent to his death. Their son didn't even get married, let alone leave behind a bloodline.

If the Fang Clan couldn't give birth to another son, the third branch would have no bloodline.

Perhaps because the third branch was too miserable, the Wei family's first branch and second branch forgot about their initial conflict and unhappiness with the third branch. They would help the third branch from time to time, so they didn't have to live too miserably.

Wei Sanshi and the Fang Clan no longer had any hope that Wei Xiuyuan would come back alive from the battlefield. The Fang Clan couldn't give birth to any more children, so they began to consider looking for a son-in-law for their daughter, Xiaoluo Wei. They wanted their daughter to give birth to a grandson and adopt him under their son's name. That way, their son would have a bloodline.

At this time, Wei Xiuyuan, who had already been stuffed into the ranks of the new recruits, didn't know that Wei Sanshi and the Fang Clan had already begun to consider adopting his son and erecting a cenotaph for him.

He followed the other recruits who had been recruited and walked towards the border in a hubbub.

These recruits hadn't undergone any training. They didn't even have the most basic formation, let alone any combat ability.

In addition, their treatment was very poor. They only had to eat a meal of thin rice soup and a small piece of brown biscuit that was so dry that it hurt their throats. They didn't even have the strength to walk.

Wei Xiuyuan mixed in with the group of recruits who were all bumpkins. Because of his handsome appearance and tender skin, he seemed like a crane in a flock of chickens.

Wei Xiuyuan was faintly isolated. Not long after, someone wanted to snatch his biscuit because they didn't have enough dry rations to eat.

Although Wei Xiuyuan could rely on the medicinal power of the gene medicine and his spiritual power to absorb the free energy in the air to survive, and didn't need food, he wasn't a soft bun when he was bullied.

He directly punched the recruit who looked like a local ruffian who wanted to snatch his rations to the ground.

A brawny man whose arm was as thick as a person's thigh was punched by a pale-faced scholar who looked so weak that he couldn't even get up. The other recruits who saw this scene felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The entire scene was silent. Only the groans of the brawny man who couldn't get up from the ground could be heard.

"What's going on?" The commotion here attracted the attention of the soldiers who were watching over them.

With so many recruits being sent to the border, it was more or less sending them to their deaths as cannon fodder. Naturally, they were worried that the cannon fodder would want to escape.

Therefore, a group of fully armed soldiers escorted them as if they were escorting criminals. In order to make sure that they didn't have the strength to escape, they also gave them as little rations as possible every day.

This group of recruits would always cause a small commotion when they were eating every day. In order to prevent a large disturbance, the soldiers were very strict.

Therefore, whenever there was a commotion here, an armored soldier would immediately come over to check on the situation.
