Chapter 9: The Poisoned Merchant
Now, the big tiger and the cow egg are silent, the kitten's hexagram is really not working, who knows which time, which time?
What if this time it's like the one for the boss today, it doesn't work?
"The roast chicken is coming, the roast chicken is coming!" Xiaobai screamed and ran over from the other side of the street with a roast chicken in one hand.
"One big brother, one of us." While speaking, Xiaobai handed Shen Mu a roast chicken wrapped in oiled paper, and then divided the body in his hand to the other three.
From Xiaobai's expression, Shen Mu could see that although Xiaobai and Dahu had some small comparison psychology before, there should be no major contradictions, and the relationship between several people was still good.
Since these three people have a certain relationship with the original owner, if they have a good heart, they can also be slowly observed and cultivated into their own fixed team.
Shen Mu has always known that in this world, if you want to do great things single-handedly, it is a fool's dream, Bao Qingtian and Gongsun Ce, Zhanzhao, Five Rats and Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty Ma Han.
Since he is bound to this chicken rib system, he must always prepare in advance, gather people's hearts, and establish a team.
The four teenagers in front of them were happily eating roast chicken, not knowing that on this day, their life trajectories had been included in the scope of change by others.
The cow egg is tall and strong, and his appetite is also the largest, at this time, he finished eating the chicken in his hand first, and the pair of big bull's eyes looked at the roast chicken that was still half left in Shen Mu's hand with a longing gaze.
What to say about this roast chicken, the taste is still good, but Shen Mu had eaten a lot of delicacies from various countries in his previous life, and his feelings about this roast chicken were much more bland at this time.
His original appetite was not big, coupled with the habit formed for a long time, when he ate roast chicken, he didn't care about the image like several other teenagers, at this time, the eyes just saw the pitiful appearance of the cow egg, he turned his brain, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to the other party: "Eat it, you know that you have a big appetite." ”
"Boss, you're so nice, you know that you want to eat cow eggs." Niu Dan was not polite, and happily took the chicken leg and said.
When the other three teenagers heard this, they also stopped chewing the meat in their hands and looked at the remaining chicken in Shen Mu's hands.
So, he said in an affectionate tone: "Whoever of you three still wants to eat, and the rest of you three will also be divided!" ”
Based on the temperament and words and deeds of the four teenagers, he decided to do it on the surface, treating them differently and fairly.
The key object of differential treatment is the cow egg.
This teenager obviously has limited IQ and EQ, but as long as such a person is not disguised, he is the most reassuring to use and can rely on as a confidant.
He will not easily choose to betray because of interests, and sometimes even on the contrary, it is easier to stick to principles.
As for Xiaobai and Big Tiger? The big tiger people seem to be clever, and being clever often means having a lot of thoughts, not qualitative, and further observation.
And what about Xiaobai? There is a saying that if you want to take it, you must give it first, Xiaobai is so generous to dinner, which shows that in some aspects, he has something to ask for himself.
This is actually a kind of exchange of interests.
And because the relationship between interests is often the easiest to break after new interests appear.
The rest of the kittens, he really didn't see through the other party, especially the other party's inaccurate fortune-telling, not only that, but he also noticed that the kitten may be the best of the four teenagers.
He walked with a soft footstep, and when he unconsciously held his head high, his temperament was noticeably different from that of those who grew up in the market;
Not to mention, he can also read and write, which shows that the kitten's family is either a scholar or has lived an unusual life as a child.
In short, he is still a little wary of kittens.
When the other three teenagers heard this, Dahu took the lead in snatching the remaining roast chicken in his hand, and unceremoniously distributed it to Xiaobai and Xiaomei, not caring at all, this roast chicken was actually bought by Xiaobai with money, and the other three were also accustomed to it.
It can be seen that among the five teenagers, in addition to himself, among the other four, Dahu has more authority and right to speak.
"Kitten, have you figured out the dead man at the Castle Peak Inn? If the calculation is correct, tomorrow, I will buy you and my eldest brother another roast chicken. As Xiaobai ate the chicken, he remembered the topic he had talked about earlier.
Although he had some quarrels with the big tiger before, but the young man's noisy noise came and went quickly, and he no longer paid attention to the big tiger at this time, he really wanted to know if the kitten could be counted accurately this time.
"Poison." The kitten nibbled on the chicken and spat out a word.
"Poison? Are you saying that the merchant was poisoned? Hearing this, Xiaobai asked in a low voice.
"Although the hexagram is a little vague, it should show that it is poisoned." The kitten nodded.
When Shen Mu heard this, he glanced at the kitten quietly again, he had always disbelieved in the theory of feng shui numerology.
In fact, in the previous life, this thing was not promoted by the state, and it was relatively declining and mysterious, and most of the people who claimed to know this were liars who bumped and abducted.
Now, this kitten really aroused his interest in a little inquiry.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look, and we'll know if it's time or not." Dahu waved his thin arm and said.
The Castle Peak Inn is located south of the street, and this inn has three floors.
The scale is in this small county, and it seems to be a relatively high-grade inn.
At this moment, in front of the inn, there are people watching the excitement, and there are two officials standing in front of the inn to maintain order.
This was the first time Shen Mu had seen these public officials since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
The official clothes on the guard outside were half-new and badly faded.
Also, the cloth printed and dyed in ancient times, because it is not made of chemical printing and dyeing, is purely natural, and the color will fall off after washing a few waters.
This is also why, in ancient times, people with a little financial ability had to make a few more clothes all year round.
If you don't do it, you can't do it, when you go out to meet guests, you wear clothes that have faded color, and it's easy to lose face.
And when meeting customers at home, they often wear half-worn and comfortable clothes.
This kind of murder is very eye-catching at any time, not to mention that in ancient times, people's entertainment was extremely boring, so there were some new things to see, how could they not come to join in the fun.
"Let's let's go and see the excitement."
A man in front of him who was pushed by the big tiger was about to scold him when he turned around, but the next moment, he probably recognized the identities of several of them, swallowed the swear words that came to his mouth, and gave way to the side.
It seems that the honest people of ancient and modern times do not want to provoke people on the street.
Shen Mu also wanted to know if the dead merchant was the merchant surnamed Li, so he didn't say anything to stop it. It also moved forward.
As soon as he gained a firm foothold, he heard the onlookers shouting, "Come out, come out!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, several officials carried the body lying on a wooden board out of the inn.
Because there was nothing on the corpse, the people around them all took a few steps back when they saw this, which made several of them stand in the middle of the show at once.
Because the corpse was not covered, he could easily see that the dead man was a lean man, who looked about thirty years old, about one meter seven tall, and wore a blue robe that looked good.
The eyebrows are ordinary, there are no features, the lips are a little blue, and the lips are stained with a little black blood.
Other than that, there were no other wounds or blood stains on the man's body, and on the surface, it did resemble the symptoms of poisoning.
Could it be? This kitten is really right, this person was really poisoned?
