Chapter 4 Visitors from the County Government
While peeling corn kernels, Li Wuqi thought about how such a small kernel of corn could produce such a big flower. He felt that it had huge energy...ah!
While thinking about investigating the truth behind the death of his predecessor.
To confirm the identity of Shen Jiao's murderer, it needs to be verified from two aspects, one is the motive, and the other is the means.
The motive for the murder was nothing more than revenge and making money. However, Li Wuqi and Shen Jiao had always been good friends. Before this, the two had never had any trouble. As for making money, Li Wuqi was the poorest in Niniu Town. He wanted to rob him. It's better to go and rob Aunt Wang.
Then there are only four left, but if it is to clear obstacles, which way did Li Wuqi block Shen Jiao's path?
Recall that sentence: "Good poetry, but you shouldn't have written it."
Is it because of jealousy? Jealousy that the talent Li Wuqi showed in that poem has surpassed his own?
He was originally the well-respected Mr. Shen Jiao in the small town, but now a young Li Wuqi came out to challenge his only authority?
Right, that is it!
Li Wuqi felt that he had found the right answer.
So, moving on to the next question, how did he do it?
Apparently, the predecessor died of illness.
But three days was too short from the onset of symptoms to terminal illness and death. The effect was more like... poisoning! Yes, I did drink a cup of hot tea at Shen Jiao's residence at that time!
Because of that poem, Shen Jiao felt threatened and even poisoned and murdered his friends to preserve his position!
A sudden enlightenment!
The corn has just been shucked.
He soaked the corn kernels in water, then took out the green peppers and cut the red peppers into fine dices.
Heat oil, add green and red peppercorns, lightly fry for a few times, then add minced meat.
Stir-fry until the minced meat turns white, add corn kernels, and stir-fry over high heat for a while.
Add chopped green onion, salt, vinegar and a little sugar.
Take out of the pot.
The corn kernels are crystal clear, sweet and sour, and appetizing with rice.
The motive and means are already clear, now all that's left is evidence!
However, this world is different from the previous life after all. Is the so-called evidence really important?
Li Wuqi's purpose is not trial, but revenge.
As long as it can be confirmed that Shen Jiao is the real culprit, there will be enough reasons to kill him.
But of course not. After all, all this is just his guess. Even if he is 90% sure, there is still a 10% chance of killing innocent people by mistake.
But in the future, we must be careful and prevent ourselves from falling twice in the same place.
Leave half a bowl of food at Li Wuxin's door.
The next day, Li Wuqi came to Hu Ji Butcher Shop.
Butcher Hu ordered: "Little guy, it's no longer difficult for you to kill the pig. Get up an hour early tomorrow and go to the Shiniu Town Massacre and wait for me. I will teach you how to butcher the pig!"
Li Wuqi responded.
Niniu Town is a small town located in a mountain forest basin, with more than a hundred families living and a population of less than 500.
Shiniu Town next door is a large town with a population of several thousand. It is the commercial hub of dozens of nearby towns and villages. It has enough livestock farms and slaughterhouses to supply and sell the entire Changning County area.
The pork that Butcher Hu sells every day is that he personally goes to the Shiniu Massacre to buy pigs, kill them, and then sends people to deliver them.
Hu Kee Butcher Shop is open normally.
By noon, Shen Jiao's slightly thin figure appeared on the street.
Merchants along the way greeted each other respectfully, and Shen Jiao, who had a gentle temperament, responded briefly.
Li Wuqi was about to speak out to attract Shen Jiao's attention, but saw him walking straight towards him, smiling at him and saying, "Wuqi, could you please cut two kilograms of pork for me."
Li Wuqi nodded and started cutting the meat.
Butcher Hu smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, are there any guests at home today?"
Shen Jiao nodded and said: "Master Zhou from Changning County Government."
"Oh?" Butcher Hu asked curiously, "People from the county government are here to see you?"
Master Zhou, the master of Changning County Government, whose full name is Zhou Jinzhu, is thirty-five years old and has reached the realm of literature, Taoism and destiny.
For the small Niniu Town, this is a big shot!
Li Wuqi couldn't help but feel curious, why did Master Zhou come to Shen Jiao's house as a guest?
Shen Jiao looked at Li Wuqi and seemed to answer specifically for him: "Shen is not talented, but he was lucky enough to enter the realm of mind-observation. Master Zhou of Changning learned about it and came here to inspect it."
In an instant, Li Wuqi's heart sank: "So that's it."
Hongque Academy, everything is for Hongque Academy.
It turns out that it was this path that Li Wuqi hindered Shen Jiao in the first place - a first-class university in the minds of scholars in Dongjun, and the lifelong dream of countless students!
There was news as early as a year ago that Hongque Academy would open ten admission places to more than 4,300 towns and villages in 72 counties in Dongjun. There was only one registration requirement: enter the state of mind before the age of thirty.
It is said that this is an order from the imperial capital, just to give countless poor students in the Dongjun area, the poorest region of the Dalu Dynasty, more opportunities to change their fate.
A rare opportunity in ten years! A God-given opportunity!
At first, Li Wuqi was really excited for a while, imagining how he would ascend to the immortal realm after entering Hongque Academy. However, at that time, there was still a real, distant and ignorant distance between him and Guan Xinjing. Over time, he put the matter aside. .
Now that Shen Jiao had just entered the state of mind, and when he mentioned the county government master Zhou again, Li Wuqi naturally thought of this.
There are 20,000 students from more than 4,300 villages and towns in the 72 counties of Dongjun, vying for ten seats. Shen Jiao is afraid that Li Wuqi will be promoted to Guan Xinjing first and seize the place in Changning County... Well, it seems that it is still just a guess.
Damn it! How can we convict him?!
"Oh!" Butcher Hu's eyes widened, "In that case, wouldn't Mr. Shen be able to enter that, what... Red Bird Academy? Ah, this is a great thing! What a great thing!"
Shen Jiao said modestly: "It's just a chance. There are nearly a thousand people taking the test this time, so the hope is actually slim."
Butcher Hu smiled and said, "Mr. Shen will definitely do it! Even if I give you this meat, you should go back and prepare to welcome Master Zhou. Later, I will ask Wu Qi to deliver the meat to your house for him to eat." Joy!"
Shen Jiao cupped his hands and said, "So, Shen thanked Boss Hu."
Butcher Hu waved his hands with a smile: "No thank you, no thank you! This is nothing! Mr. Shen, walk slowly!"
Butcher Hu and Li Wuqi watched Shen Jiao leave together. The former sighed: "It's incredible, we are going to have a big shot in Niniu Town!"
Li Wuqi was torn in his heart: "How about we imitate Wang Jingwei? I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go..."
Butcher Hu interrupted his thoughts and ordered: "Boy, you will deliver the meat to Mr. Shen later, and take the opportunity to meet the legendary Master Zhou. After all, you are also smart. If you can win Master Zhou's favor, Even if you can't get into the Red Bird Academy, it's good to get into the Black Bird and White Bird Academy. It's better to get an official position or something, than to kill a pig. Alas, we don't have this fate!"
While cutting the meat, Li Wuqi said absently: "What's wrong with killing pigs? I just like killing pigs. It's best to kill pigs every day. I'd rather kill three thousand pigs than let one go..."
"Nonsense!" Butcher Hu glared, "In the future, when I become an official and earn a lot of money, wouldn't it be better to buy the largest butcher shop in Changning County and watch others kill pigs?"
