However, Shi Zhongkui had no time to pay attention to these people at this time. The most important thing now was to find the monster.

If he didn't recruit him, he would take the opportunity to accuse monsters of entering the capital without permission and waste his cultivation.

At that time, the monster will inevitably struggle or even resist.

Once he really resists, there will be enough reason to kill him, and the underworld can take the opportunity to collect his soul.

After that, he couldn't even think about it without speaking.

Using tea as a cover, Shi Zhongkui covered his lips with the sleeves of his official robe while instructing the invisible God of Day Travel to communicate with the Door God.

At the same time, he put all the tea into the space pasture and asked a mixed-blood horse to test whether there was anything wrong with the tea.

If we can catch a mole in this prison, things will definitely be easier.

Unfortunately, no one really dared to poison a Hanlin Academy scholar to death in public. Not to mention that there was something wrong with the tea, Khan Xue Ma had no problem after eating it. Shi Zhongkui smelled it himself and found that the tea was actually quite good.

Glancing at the seventh-grade scribe who had just brought the tea, he secretly thought that there should be different factions or different interest groups in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

I originally planned to take advantage of this, but when I thought about it carefully, I wanted to find the murderer in a short time, so I didn't have time to divide and win over this group of people.

Besides, if you find the right methods and opportunities, you can defeat ten guilds even in the officialdom.

The people from the Criminal Department saw his expression of surprise after drinking tea, and they couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain a few words, Shi Zhongkui put down his tea bowl and closed his eyes again.

All the officials from the Ministry of Punishment were once again surprised and uneasy.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, and several people from the embroidered clothes guards walked in quickly, cupped their hands in front of Shi Zhongkui and said,

"Sir, Lord Yan, the Censor of the Left Capital, Lord Wang, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Lord Yuan, the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, are here."

Shi Zhongkui opened his eyes suddenly, stood up with a smile and walked out to greet him.

After some polite remarks, Shi Zhongkui was confident that Yuan Donggang would support him, but to his surprise, Yuan Donggang actually made it clear that he was on his side as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although he was surprised, Shi Zhongkui couldn't ask directly. He could only suppress his doubts and salute to his immediate boss and master with a grateful face.

To a certain extent, Lao Yuan is risking his future by betting on himself.

If he wins, Shi Zhongkui will be fine, and he will definitely be able to fully support him from now on.

If he loses, it goes without saying that even if Yuan Donggang still has a chance to join the cabinet, it will be wasted for at least five or ten years.

Immediately, Shi Zhongkui suddenly felt that Yuan Donggang might have waited too long and was a little impatient.

But Shi Zhongkui didn't really realize that he had helped the Jia family several times and even influenced the inheritance of the titles of Ning and Rong, which had given him huge influence among the noble class.

Some noble families who also had titles that would lose their title if it were passed on for one or two generations were already thinking about whether they could get the emperor's favor and even attention like the Jia family if they moved closer to him.

Not to mention those marquises and uncles, this idea is even stronger when it comes to the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Zhiguo and the Duke of Tuiguo, who are also the "Eight Dukes" of Ningrong and Ningrong.

When the Duke of Qi and Duke Zhi arrived in this generation, Chen Ruiwen was the third-rank Wei Zhen general, and Ma Shang was the third-rank Weiyuan general. Although the title of the title was slightly different from Jia Zhen's Wei Lie general, the size of the title was the same.

And after passing on to the next generation, the Chen family and the Ma family were completely in decline.

Even though Shi Huaiyong of the Duke of Tui Kingdom was a powerful general, he had already left the court for more than ten years and had no chance to earn any merit for his descendants.

Naturally, they will pay more attention to Shi Zhongkui, and because Shi Zhongkui accepted Shi Huaiji as his disciple, to a certain extent, the Duke of Tui Kingdom has completely moved closer to Shi Zhongkui.

With Shi Huaiyong, an old fox, building momentum and publicity for Shi Zhongkui, it would be impossible for the Chen family of Qi and the Ma family of Zhiguo to have other ideas.
