"So I am the second generation of officials?" Zhang Mu said in his heart. He really dreamed that fate played such a joke with him.

According to Zhang Mu's idea, he should have passed the exam and was born on the right path. When he became a Jinshi and was transferred to a county magistrate, it would be worth his life. No matter how bad he was, even if he couldn't win, he would be a rich young man in this prosperous Jiangnan and a peaceful world. He would be a maid, take a beautiful wife, earn some money, be rich and live a stable life.

As a result, when Lord Tao came out, he became the Jinyiwei!

With Zhang Mu's years of experience in struggling in the officialdom, he instantly smelled the danger. It was mostly a trap when he fell from the sky.

"Why, do you suspect that this official is fake?" Tao Xingchang asked with a frown.

"I dare not, but I dare not. It would be fine if I pretended to be someone else. This Jinyiwei is famous, who dares to pretend to be someone?" Zhang Mu said with a hurried smile.

"Why do you think of your reluctance? You have to know that not everyone in this military household can become the Jinyiwei, and many people can't squeeze in even if they break their heads. We are the royal guards, and we are the ones who can do things for the Emperor Long live." Tao Xingchang said proudly.

"But, I heard that His Majesty burned the torture instruments of the Jinyiwei a few years ago, and the Jinyiwei was not allowed to handle the case again." Zhang Mu said in a low voice.

"You said it right, but that's the above matter. We can just handle the case. Don't ask if there are too many, nor do you need to ask. If you know too much, it will be bad." Tao Xingchang sneered.

"What the adults said is right, but you see, I can't use this knife and ride a horse. What can I do at this age? Will the adults make it wrong?" Zhang Mu asked tentatively again.

When Tao Xingchang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Mu up and down. His small eyes narrowed into a slit, and a faint cold light was emitted outwards. He immediately smiled and said, "No wonder you can survive several times, and you have a lot of thoughts."

Speaking of this, Tao Xingchang sat down on his butt and smiled and said, "For the sake of your father treating me well, I will tell you the truth. This time it is really your luck. Your identity as an Jinyiwei was personally decided by the Hundred Houses. As for the reason, it is the cause of your father's death."

"My father? My father died of kidney sha. Everyone in the clan knows why?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Boy, let alone you, I'm afraid that there are not many people in Yongkang, except me. As early as when attacking the rebel Zhang Shicheng, your father had worked for His Majesty. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, His Majesty brought the Luanyisi to the Jinyiwei, and he raised the Central Banner to inspect Yongkang and the civil and official sentiments in the surrounding areas. At that time, I followed him.

Although your father is a scholar, he practiced martial arts in his early years, and his five-tiger sword technique was amazing. Later, your father was ordered to lurk here, and his casual clothes were very weak, but in fact he was very strong.

The year your father passed away, well, it was the winter of the 19th year of Hongwu. My father sent me to investigate a major case, and he had just gotten into trouble, but when I came back, he had already died suddenly. At that time, I felt something was strange. Just as I was about to investigate, I received Shangguan's order not to let us do anything else, so the matter was put on hold.

I looked at your mansion coldly over the years. Since your father passed away, your aunt hastily changed the servants in the mansion. If he had no worries in his heart, what would he be afraid of? I knew there must be something wrong with it. Now that your aunt is dead, you have been assassinated twice in a row. It seems that someone is going to kill you to silence you."

After hearing this big call, Zhang Mu vaguely felt that the Jinyiwei investigated his father's death, and there would be even more terrifying bloody storm afterwards.

After all, this is a case supervised by the Jinyiwei. In an ordinary case, the Jinyiwei is afraid that the Jinyiwei will not look down on it. Secondly, it has been three years since his father passed away. At this time, the cause of his father's death was clearly because the line they had been biting was broken, and now it has returned to the starting point.

"What does Lord Tao need me to do?" Zhang Mu asked curiously.

"It turns out that I am a smart child. I have not read you wrong. We are not as good as the tiqi on the surface. Some things need to be done secretly. Although I suspect that your father died suddenly was killed by someone, I have no evidence in my hand." Tao Xingchang smiled slightly.

"Do you want me to open the coffin and perform an autopsy?" Zhang Mu asked with his head raised.

"I didn't ask you to do this." When Tao Xingchang said this, he stood up and said, "But don't you want to know the cause of your father's death?"

"If my father was really killed by evil people, how could he not be revenged? But Yu Zhenzi has not been caught yet. Seeing my weak body, I can't stand the tossing." Zhang Mu smiled.

"Haha, little brat. You are more smarter than you. You are a piece of material for this. Don't be so worried about this set. I said you are the Jinyiwei, and you are the Jinyiwei. This is yours." When Tao Xingchang said this, he took out a brocade box and handed it to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu opened it, and a bronze tooth sign was lying quietly inside, with the words "Zhang Mu, the captain of Jinyiwei" written on it.

"Little Zhang Mu, I have met the adults." At that moment, Zhang Mu bowed to Tao Xingchang.

"Get up, your father treats me like a brother when he is alive, and he doesn't need to be polite in private. But these things come out of my mouth and you're not allowed to let the third person know. If you have any discoveries, come to my Yuelai Restaurant to find me. If you really make contributions in this case, you will not only avenge your father's deep blood revenge, but will not be difficult to achieve success in the future. Isn't it much better than being a poor scholar?" Tao Xingchang smiled.

"Then can I pass the exam in the future?" Zhang Mu asked nervously. He took on this job now, first to deal with Zhang Chi, and secondly, he had no choice but to bring him tooth cards today. Obviously, he planned this matter for a day or two. If he didn't agree, the Zhang family would be in a catastrophe.

However, the Jinyiwei was only a glorious moment in Hongwu and involved a lot of things. After Zhu Yuanzhang killed Lan Yu, he would be cancelled. It was not a long-term way out, so he had to make plans for the future.

"What's the one who can't get the exam? Although you are a military household, not a full-back, we are secretly cavalry, and need to cover up our identity. Furthermore, the Emperor said that there is only one concentrating student at the military household, and the Ministry of War will be sent to the Hanlin Academy for the examination. If there is any effect, the military will be opened as usual. If there is no effect, the regulations for concentrating the military will be issued. This precedent will have long existed. If it is true that you are capable, and we will get a top scholar for us, our Jinyiwei will have a long face." Tao Xingchang said with a smile.

Zhang Mu thought it was true. Among the later generations, Li Dongyang, Wan'an, Liu Ji, Yue Zheng, Liu Xu, Zhai Luan, Liang Chu, Mao Ji, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Li, Zhao Zhigao, Wang Jiaping, Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe were all military families, and walking on two legs is much better than walking on one leg.

"Okay, hurry up and do it. I will send someone to pursue Yu Zhenzi with all my might. Even if you are not my subordinate, I have to protect you for your father's face. I will leave first."

"Sir, wait." Zhang Mu hurriedly pulled out ten treasure money from his sleeve and handed it to Tao Xingchang.

"What are you doing? Long lively, I have repeatedly asked us to abide by the law and regulations. Aren't you harming me?" Although Tao Xingchang said this, he had already kicked Baochao into his sleeve.

"It's just a little bit of a promotion for adults. I won't be an example." Zhang Mu smiled.
