"Uncle Xu, how did this person die?"

Several officials passed by them carrying planks, followed by an old man dressed in gray and holding his hair in a bun.

Seeing this, the big tiger pulled the placket of his clothes and asked in a low voice.

"Big Tiger, your child's family, why do you ask about such a thing?" The man stopped and looked at the Great Tiger Dao with a pair of gray eyes.

"Uncle, aren't I curious? About what is happening on the street, our boss always wants to know more about his father, right? While speaking, he deliberately showed Shen Mu's body in a pretending manner.

"Well, there is nothing to hide, according to the old man's examination, the deceased did not have other external injuries, and may have died of accidental poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Big Tiger and Little White raised their voices in unison and exclaimed an octave.

At the same time, he set his eyes on the kitten, why is the hexagram spirit again this time?

When Niu Dan heard this, Niu Dan's eyes widened, his face was puzzled, and he said with contempt: "This person is so stupid, why do you eat poison yourself?" ”

"Niu Dan, you say that people are stupid, and you are just as stupid as you are when you grow so big.

Whoever is impatient to live and feeds himself poison to eat, doesn't he say that the deceased is a merchant?

This merchant! Instead of carrying money, he was carrying valuable goods, and he may have been killed by someone sneaking into the room to kill people and steal money. When the big tiger heard this, he came back to his senses and immediately smashed the cow's egg with his elbow, and his tall body retorted.

"Don't talk about the two of you, anyway, it's none of our business how this person died, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." When Xiaobai heard this, he looked around sneakily and stopped in a low voice.

Shen Mu didn't join the discussion of these teenagers, but he still kept listening to the discussions of the people around him to see if he could get any new and useful information.

As a result, from the discussions of the people around him, it was determined that the dead merchant lived in the T-shaped room of the inn, and it was indeed the merchant surnamed Li.

He peeked at the corpse of the merchant surnamed Li just now,

There don't seem to be obvious flaky corpse spots on the exposed neck, indicating that the person will not be dead for too long, maybe between one and two hours.

All in all, it shouldn't have been more than two hours since he woke up from that pit in the woods.

So, is the death of the merchant surnamed Li at the same time as the death of the man in Tsing Yi? Or before or after the big man in Tsing Yi?

What exactly is the connection between the two of them? Is this merchant surnamed Li also from Jinyi Weizhong?

There is limited information and limited conclusions that can be deduced.

Instead of pondering further, he began to pay attention to the crowd of onlookers around him for anomalies.

The findings of many criminal psychologists show that many murderers like to see the consequences of their criminal actions up close.

So, is the murderer who poisoned this merchant surnamed Li at the scene?

But because the position he is standing in is not a good observation position, there are no new discoveries so far.

However, from the discussion of the teenagers just now, he found that Dahu and Xiaobai, who also have good brains.

Xiaobai is more timid and afraid, but Dahu is more courageous, dare to say and do, no wonder in this small group of five people, in addition to his own boss, Dahu has the upper hand.

Of course, the big tiger is not without shortcomings, at least the big tiger may not be so broad-minded, like he just scolded the cow egg stupidly, specifically mentioned that the cow egg is so big, indeed, in ancient times, most of the working people are lacking in nutrition, big is also a kind of capital.

Not to mention, the big tiger is thin and small, but it is necessary to use a name that represents the strength of the big tiger, which also shows from the subconscious that the big tiger prefers to have a body like a cow egg.

Perhaps, this kind of envy and jealousy is not very superficial, although he did not inherit the memory of the original owner, but he also knew with guesses, presumably in the old days, the big tiger often used the advantage of his brains to silently tell Niu Dan, even if you are tall and strong, it is useless, and you still have to listen to me for everything.

Kitten and Xiaobai, who are not stupid in their brains, can see this, but they obviously don't care about this, and they don't care about the idea of cow eggs.

This made Shen Mu more and more determined to cultivate Niu Dan into the most reliable henchman.

Of course, his cultivation will be very hidden, and he will not turn the cow egg tree into a target and become the target of the other three teenagers' jealousy, leading to disagreements and rupture in the small group.

When it comes to training the team, he immediately thought that he should punish corrupt officials and increase his prestige in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and the political form.

In his current capacity, it would be as difficult to accomplish this goal as climbing the Himalayas.

To comply with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, then he must deal with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty by himself and have some qualifications to punish corrupt officials before he can act conveniently.

So how do you have this qualification?

Now that I think about it, as long as the original owner's father has no problem with his brain, he generally won't prevent his son from going to school, and there must be some unknown reason for this.

Even if you know the reason, from now on, you will work hard and start studying for the imperial examination, and it is unknown whether you can pass the Jinshi examination in your twenties;

The eight-strand text of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the broken questions, what the truncated questions, I am afraid that those natives have more advantages, not to mention, the admission rate of this ancient Jinshi is much lower than that of modern universities.

There are also those unspoken rules that people know by heart.

Even if he played extraordinarily and won the jinshi.

So what, the official may not be able to enter the corresponding responsible department, in case he enters the Honglu Temple, it is in charge of diplomacy, and it has nothing to do with punishing corrupt officials.

Further, even if you enter the corresponding yamen, those who have no qualifications or qualifications can only be a small person, and their influence is limited.

Moreover, the civil service system also has a lot of conventional unspoken rules, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where there are all kinds of teacher-student relationships.

If there are those who are corrupt and pervert the law, disregard human life, or neglect their duties, then if he tries to punish these people, won't he have a reputation for cheating his teachers and destroying his ancestors?

The officials and scholars of the Ming Dynasty sometimes play with a reputation, and if they have no reputation, how to do things.

Or these people's relatives and friends, students are in the same year, something happened, and there are people handing out messages and notes everywhere, how can he continue to fight corruption.

Therefore, the path to becoming an ancient scholar does not seem to be suitable, nor is it the most suitable shortcut.

So, what is a shortcut?

If you want to talk about shortcuts, in Daming, there is really a shortcut that is more suitable for him, that is, to join the special institutions such as Jinyiwei or East Factory and West Factory, which are closely related to the imperial power.

The functions of these institutions are fully aligned with the needs of the system and their own.

Moreover, compared with the East and West Factory, using the father-in-law in the palace as the leader, in addition to the limited upside, Jinyiwei is the most ideal and suitable career choice.
