The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

This has caused many nobles who coveted the Hatu family's wealth to start making moves.

Viscount Saldallo's face darkened as he looked at the former Viscount Hatu, son of Grand Duke Hadist, hanging on the gallows. He couldn't understand why his father had suddenly ordered a halt to any investigation into Viscount Hatu's affairs, and why he had forcibly hanged Viscount Hatu without taking any action against the Hatu family.

“Viscount, your affairs go far beyond what's outwardly apparent. There's much more to it than meets the eye!” The countess glanced at Viscount Hatu on the gallows, smiled coldly, and said to Viscount Saldallo, whose passion had been extinguished.

"He's just a scapegoat! You're the real masterminds!" Saldallo glared fiercely at the Countess, saying angrily, "Don't think I'll let this go! I won't stop until this matter is thoroughly investigated!"

"We'll wait and see, Viscount! Don't think your father will save you then!"

Chapter Twenty-Six - The Daily Life of a Sheriff

Several days have passed since Lu Ming woke up from his coma. Sitting in the police station's office, he can still hear many people talking about his duel with Licat, which wiped out several years' worth of taxes from Erebus.

Perhaps because it ended in a lose-lose situation, Lu Ming's level didn't reach 6. However, the Wolf Blood stat in his attribute panel changed to 2%. Lu Ming was a little confused about what this strange attribute was.

“Weapons. What a hassle.” Playing with his Sage’s Candlestick, Lu Ming, who was doing nothing, glanced at the brand-new Peheim Magic Wand that Yusaha had given him on his desk and sighed slightly.

He had finally managed to acquire a crystal rapier, only to have it destroyed in that duel. This truly broke Lu Ming's heart.

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of Lu Ming's office.

"Come in!"

"Click!" The office door was pushed open, and a white-haired guy walked in.

This man, named Karthus Menethil, was the second-in-command assigned to Lu Ming after Kelal's disappearance. He was a cat-like uncle, just like Miao Na.

When Lu Ming first heard this guy's name, his immediate reaction was, "What the hell is your relationship with the Lich King and that narcissistic blood elf?!"

Unfortunately, Karthus had no connection with those two.

"Sheriff, there's been some troublemaking going on in the east of the city. The station plans to have you come with me," Karthus said listlessly, his eyes half-open.

"Okay," Lu Ming replied, clearly dissatisfied, then angrily pointed at Karsas and roared, "Who the hell gave you permission to smoke in my office?!"

"You won't allow it?" Karthus asked indifferently in response to Lu Ming's roar.

Looking at Karsas's expression, which seemed to say, "You think you can just stop me like that?", Lu Ming's face turned red with anger, but he was helpless. He had tried all sorts of punishments for this heavy smoker who smoked five packs a day. Finally, he discovered that Karsas wouldn't eat anything! He had no choice but to give up.

Finally, with nowhere else to turn, Lu Ming submitted a report to his superior, a viscount, requesting a replacement. The reply he received was: "The institute is short-staffed. Just make do with this for the next few decades."

Just muddling along for decades... damn it!

"Let's go!" Gritting his teeth, Lu Ming suppressed the urge to stab him to death with a sage's candlestick, pushed open the office door, and rushed out of the smoke-filled office.

"Oh~" Karthus responded weakly, then followed behind Lu Ming, staggering out of the police station.

Lu Ming walked ahead, his face dark and menacing. Anyone who saw him would want to keep their distance from this terrifyingly powerful 'magic apprentice.' After all, not everyone is a genius like Ricard, with a wealthy and capable master.

Because of the duel, Lu Ming, a lowly sheriff with little prestige, began to gain some fame. So, while no one dared to come and watch, people would automatically make way for him and whisper among themselves, which made Lu Ming a little annoyed.

Soon, Lu Ming and Karsas arrived at a street in the eastern commercial district of the city, which was the place where the report had been filed.

Upon arriving here, the two of them witnessed a group of people engaging in a brawl.

"Is this the eighth time in the last few days?" Looking at the group of guys fighting with 'pillows,' 'sheets,' and 'rotten fruit,' Lu Ming twitched his lips and asked Karsas beside him.

"Maybe." Karthus took out two earplugs and plugged his ears.

then......

"Metallic sound!!" Lu Ming then used the metallic sound.

In an instant, the people who had been fighting disappeared, and they all turned into a group of innocent-looking children standing on two sides of the street, covering their ears.

"Speak. Why were you fighting?" Seeing that the group had stopped fighting, Lu Ming stopped emitting his metallic voice, and Karthus also took off his earplugs and put them in his pocket. He then took out a small notebook and pen and began his routine questioning of the group about why they were fighting.

However, without asking, Lu Ming knew what was going on.

This has happened several times in the past few days!

Lu Ming could tell what they would say without them even having to say a word.

It's nothing more than: "He stole my fruit!" "Nonsense! You stole my pillows and blankets!"

"..." Lu Ming and Karsas exchanged a glance, then each took one side and began to educate them.

"Didn't I tell you? The thief isn't from that store." Lu Ming, holding his magic wand, stood by the roadside and addressed the people for the eighth time: "As for the thief, we already have leads. Please don't assume someone is who they are and start a fight regardless of public order."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Karthus was saying the same thing to another group of people.

Although they were furious that their belongings were constantly being stolen, the fruit shop and bedding shop owners had no choice but to agree to stop fighting because of Lu Ming and Karsas's identities. However, whether they truly stopped fighting was anyone's guess.

Having resolved the civil dispute, Lu Ming and Karsas began a brief investigation of the surrounding area. They found that this time was indeed no different from before. Besides the footprints of the hot-headed employee and the owner, there were only some large dog footprints in the store. What was strange was that these footprints were only of the hind legs. Lu Ming found it hard to imagine how a dog that only walked on its hind legs could steal things.

Even he didn't believe the dog would steal things, so the shop assistants were even less likely to believe it!

As the sun set, Lu Ming walked home helplessly after work, letting out a soft sigh. He thought to himself that this job was nothing like what he had imagined.

"Baron, what's wrong?" Whether by coincidence or design, Lu Ming always encountered his housekeeper, Sham, when he left work.

Lu Ming glanced at Sham, who was carrying a bag of vegetables and fruits of unknown origin, just like she had been the past few days. He didn't say anything, but simply walked over and went home with her.

Lu Ming had mixed feelings of love and hate towards this ambitious housekeeper. He loved her understanding and gentleness, but hated her ambition to become a baroness.

If Yusahar ever went to his study to study magic, and Lily was sleeping in the next room, then Sham would definitely climb into his bed. Once, even when he was holding Lily as she slept, Sham, of all people, sneaked onto the bed and secretly cuddled him.

This tactic was essentially seducing Lu Ming, putting him in a difficult position where speaking out was awkward, but remaining silent was equally problematic. Therefore, Lu Ming didn't particularly like her. However, there are always exceptions. When bathing, Lu Ming still habitually requested Sham's help. It has to be said, he had succumbed to the unspoken rules of the aristocracy.

"What has Yusaha been up to lately? Why haven't I seen her these past few days?"

Sham took Lu Ming's arm and replied with a sweet smile, "Madam Sachi has been teaching magic to the children of nobles at a private aristocratic school in the city recently, so you naturally have very few opportunities to see her."

"Is that so..." Lu Ming was slightly unhappy upon hearing Sham's answer. However, before he could say anything, his gardener, Miao Na, suddenly threw herself into his arms, blinking her big eyes and looking at him expectantly.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile, took a fried little fish out of Sham's bag, and teased his gardener bit by bit.

"Don't bully me! Don't bully me!" Miao Na tried again and again to get the little fish from Lu Ming's hand, but because of her height, even if she jumped up, she couldn't reach the little fish in Lu Ming's hand, so she couldn't help but shout.

"I said I wouldn't bully you, but you're still jumping around, aren't you?" Although he didn't know why, Miao Na from the cat tribe had almost zero resistance to fried small fish, but Lu Ming always felt that it was as interesting as teasing a kitten, so he couldn't help but complain about Miao Na, who was shouting and jumping around.

Finally, before Miao Na started sweating, Lu Ming put the small fish into her mouth.

"Let's go home!" Seemingly seeing Lily, Lu Ming smiled and led Sham and Miaona home.

Then came bathing with Sham's help, eating decent meals cooked by Wangna, and sleeping with the sweet Lily. Finally, he slept until dawn, then sat idly in the sheriff's office once again, waiting for his adjutant, Karsas, to come and argue with him, and together they would resolve the fight between the two stores. This cycle repeated itself day after day, night after night.

Until a month later.

As usual, Lu Ming sat in his office, fiddling with the Sage's Candlestick, idly waiting for a new case.

Feeling a bit bored, Lu Ming left his office to chat with the people in the institute and try to build a little closer relationship with them.

"Did you know? Our Baron is henpecked!"

"Really? Isn't Mrs. Helas very gentle?"

"And what about Lady Yusaha Sachi?"

"Um...she's the lord's daughter, so it's not wrong for her to have some authority over the baron, is it?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but when I was patrolling and passed by the Baron's residence, I happened to see the Baron leaving, and Lady Sachi gave him a long list of prohibitions. Like, no drinking outside, no looking at pretty girls, no coming home late, and so on!"

"Really? I remember Lady Sachi rarely came home, didn't I? Would a career-driven woman like her really manage the Baron like a dog?"

As soon as Lu Ming stepped out of his office, he heard a group of people laughing and making fun of him. How could he tolerate this?

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Lu Ming walked over and gently patted one of the soldiers on the shoulder.

"Stop messing around!" But the soldier slapped Lu Ming's hand away.

"You seem to be having a good time talking about this?" Lu Ming looked at his slapped hand and asked the soldiers with a cold smile.

"Wow!! A devil!!" As soon as the soldiers heard Lu Ming's voice, they all fell to the ground, backing away on their hands and feet, looking at Lu Ming's dark face with horror.

"Hey! There's a case!" Just as Lu Ming was walking step by step toward those people with his magic wand, Karthus suddenly appeared and saved them with a single sentence.

Before they could even catch their breath, they heard, "Twenty minutes for each person!"

"No!!!!!!!!!"

Second update

Chapter Twenty-Seven - Bone Strike in One Breath

"Yusaha, how long has it been since you went home?" While Lu Ming was at the police station, Yusaha, who was on a rare day off, was strolling through the commercial district with several colleagues. Perhaps a little worried about the relationship between Yusaha and Lu Ming, some of the colleagues suddenly asked Yusaha, who was looking at teacher supplies.

Unfortunately, Yusaha had absolutely no self-awareness and answered without thinking, "Half a month. What happened?"

"What's wrong?! Please! You haven't been home for half a month, what are you going to do with your wife? Do you really think you're his wife?" Hearing Yusaha's answer, his colleagues shouted and asked incredulously.

"Isn't that right? We've done everything we were supposed to do. Now all that's left is a wedding and a child."

"Sigh!" They all sighed, speechless at Yusaha's obliviousness. After a long pause, they finally said, "You two are just lovers at best! Don't abandon him just because you want to gain teaching experience. Otherwise, you'll only break up in the end! And, most importantly, you got together with him because you took the initiative! Now you're abandoning him, do you expect him to remember this already thin relationship?"

"Was I really wrong?" Yusaha asked for the first time after hearing his colleagues' words, wondering if he had done something wrong.

"Nonsense! Do you think Lu Ming has no one else but you? Not to mention Helas, who was here before you, his housekeeper probably holds more weight in his heart than you, you idiot!"

"Sham? Isn't she just a housekeeper?"

"So, do you or Helas usually boil his bathwater?"

“No. He always had Sham burn the water. Besides, I’m a nobleman, why would I need to boil my bathwater?” Yusaha, not understanding what his colleague meant, looked at the others with incomprehension.

Upon hearing this, one of the colleagues, who was also a nobleman's lover, grabbed Yusaha's shoulder and made her look at him.

"Did you know? The bathwater for male nobles is usually heated by 'qingren'! Besides, heating the bathwater is a code word that means 'Let's go to the bathroom and have some fun!'"

"Eh~!!" Yusaha was taken aback when he first heard this statement, and he couldn't quite believe it.

But just as Yusaha was about to ask more questions, she and her colleagues saw a ten-year-old black-haired girl carrying a large bag of food, being chased by a group of soldiers in police uniforms. Behind her was a blue dog that could walk upright like a human.

Although they didn't know why the soldiers were chasing a child, out of professional ethics as teachers, Yusahar and his colleagues reprimanded the soldiers and drove them away without giving them a chance to explain.

Forced by the fact that Yusahar was the lord's daughter and his superior's lover, they had no choice but to slink away and let the child go.

"Although we don't know what happened, Luca and I still want to thank you!" Seeing that the soldiers chasing her had been chased away by Yusaha and her colleagues, the little girl immediately ran over with the dog and thanked Yusaha and the others.

“It’s nothing! My boyfriend works at the police station anyway, and those guys are under his jurisdiction. So since we see them doing bad things, we naturally have to stop them!” Yusaha waved his hand without thinking.

Then she left with her colleagues, and continued to have them teach her some coded language that aristocratic men should pay attention to.
