My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 116: Communication Talisman? Isn't this a phone? !
There was a hint of solemnity in Zeng Anmin's words.

Dad naturally understood what Zeng Anmin meant by this.

He sat on the chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes flickering with thought:

"Your Majesty has held two court meetings in the past few days, and there has been no movement in the court."

At this point, the old man also added: "It's calm."

……

Ren Weizhi did nothing?
Zeng Anmin blinked, then he nodded slowly:

"It's probably going to be soon."

"what?"

Zeng Shilin looked up, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Today, Ren Weizhi's eldest son came to the Imperial College and exposed the identity of the crown prince."

"From now on, Fatty won't be able to be my classmate."

There was a hint of regret in Zeng Anmin's tone.

The fat guy is a nice person.

The character is also diligent enough.

It suits me very well.

He took the two blood-red jade cups on the table into his arms.

With a slight thought, the two jade cups were placed into the [War Preparation Space] without anyone noticing.

"Ren Weizhi..."

Dad ignored Zeng Anmin's little action.

He frowned and looked at Zeng Anmin, his voice slightly cold:
"He is warning his father."

"You thought of that, too?" Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"What is his purpose for doing this?"

Zeng Shilin looked up and glanced at Zeng Anmin, then slowly spread out the rice paper on the table, picked up the wolf hair on the table, and slowly ground the ink:
"You should be able to figure it out."

Zeng Anmin chuckled and nodded.

"He doesn't want to break up with us. In other words, he's giving in."

The appearance of Ren Xueliang also exposed Ren Weizhi.

This approach seems to be outwardly powerful but actually weak.

"Give up..." Dad smiled dumbly: "That's right."

"Ji Qing and Dean Shi are in the northern border to scare the monsters. The core figures of the eunuch party are not here, so the court has a rare chance of peace and tranquility."

At this point, Dad narrowed his eyes and slowly picked up the pen:
"So, whoever breaks this peace first will immediately become the target of public criticism."

After saying this, he moved the tip of his pen.

He wrote a big word "静" (quiet) smoothly.

"Good word!"

Zeng Anmin gave a thumbs up.

After putting down his pen, the old man slowly raised his head and spoke indifferently:
"You don't need to worry about the struggles in the court, just prepare well for the imperial examination."

"As for the eldest princess, let's wait and see how she makes her move."

"Row."

After Zeng Anmin nodded, he walked towards his own yard.

…………

"Woooooo~"

Zeng Anmin just walked into his yard when he heard a burst of aggrieved crying.

what.

This voice sounds so familiar.

Zeng Anmin blinked and looked towards the yard.

I saw several slaves kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

Aunt Lin sat on a chair and someone served her tea. She looked at Hu Zi who was crying with a calm expression.

"Woo~"

There was sobbing in Hu Zi's voice. At this moment, he was crying and staring at his toes.

Not daring to speak a word.

"What's wrong?"

Aunt Lin's voice was very soft.

She sat on the chair and looked at Hu Zi. There was obvious distress in her eyes, but her tone remained steady.

Hu Zi's mouth twitched, and his aggrieved mouth was almost pursed together, unable to speak:

"I shouldn't hit anyone..."

Ok?
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows and slowly walked towards the yard.

He folded his arms and looked towards Hu Zi.

Although Hu Zi's family background is miserable.

But following his father and himself, he has never been wronged in this mansion, and Aunt Lin is also quite fond of this child.

You never know, it's become a bad habit.

"what happened?"

After Zeng Anmin approached, he looked at Aunt Lin and asked.

Aunt Lin raised her head when she heard Zeng Anmin's voice.

There was a hint of helplessness on his delicate face, and he sighed:
"After the court session today, the teacher came to the mansion to file a complaint."

"It was said that Hu Zi secretly hid a wooden sword and beat up all his classmates in the academy... While beating them, he forced the other children to call him the mighty general..."

The corner of Zeng Namin's mouth twitched, and he looked at Hu Zi with wide eyes.

hiss~
Why didn't I see this kid was acting so... weird before?!

This is definitely not a good habit!
Isn't this school bullying?
"This is not the end. In addition to his classmates, he also did not let go of the monks from Fa'an Temple who came to the academy to beg for alms. He even let the servant hold him and secretly hit the monks on the head with a wooden sword..."

"The Master punished him, but he still complained without repentance, saying that the heads of those monks were shiny and looked like they could make a sound when knocked, but when they were actually knocked, they were very dull..."

Aunt Lin looked at the servants kneeling on the ground, and her voice was cold:
"If the Master hadn't come to complain, how long would these servants have kept it secret?"

"You are a helper of the tyrant, deceiving your superiors and your subordinates!"

At this point, tears even welled up in Aunt Lin's eyes.

She couldn't believe it.

This is actually something that the tiger who I raised did...

After Aunt Lin finished speaking, the servants all lowered their heads, pursed their lips and said nothing.

……

Zeng Anmin's eyes slowly turned cold as Aunt Lin spoke.

"This month's allowance is gone. Go find Qi Bo to receive the family punishment yourself."

He looked at the servants, his voice cold.

"Yes."

Hearing his words, several servants trembled.

He got up dejectedly and ran outside.

……

"Besides hitting someone, what else is wrong?"

Aunt Lin fixed her eyes on Hu Zi and asked as she looked at him.

Hu Zi looked at Zeng Anmin aggrievedly, his clever eyes full of a cry for help.

"Look, I'm useless."

Zeng Anmin stared at him with a stern face.

This kind of mistake cannot be forgiven easily.

He must know that bullying other children is wrong!

And you're hitting the monk's head?

Isn’t this a sin?

Hu Zi choked up and shook his head: "It wasn't me who wanted to knock it. Liu Hao said so. He said that the monk's head made a loud noise when knocked... I didn't believe it. He also said that he had knocked it before."

"Who is Liu Hao?"

Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at Aunt Lin.

"The kid who was his classmate seems to be the young master of the Good Friend Chamber of Commerce."

Aunt Lin sighed helplessly.

I understand. Hu Zi was instigated by someone.

But how could it be such a coincidence?
Could he be Liu Xian’s younger brother?
Zeng Anmin was stunned.

Aunt Lin sighed deeply. She looked at Zeng Anmin with a worried look on her face:

"Alas, Fa'an Temple is a Buddhist holy place after all. It is wrong to do this. I will bring Hu Zi to apologize in a few days."

"Well, that's exactly what it should be."

Zeng Anmin glanced at Hu Zi and said with a hint of coldness in his voice:

"I will ask for leave from the Imperial College in two days and bring him to apologize in person."

Given Aunt Lin's personality, she would probably say nice things to people in the past.

It’s hard to be educational.

So I have to do it myself.

After saying this, he looked towards Aunt Lin and said:

"From now on, this child must be beaten when necessary, without any mercy. He must be made to know that it is wrong to bully others!" He did not want to raise a little bastard who only knew how to be arrogant and domineering.

Aunt Lin pursed her lips.

She can teach slaves a lesson.

But she really has to take action to beat Hu Zi.

It was hard for her to do it.

"Go to the study and write the words 'I'm sorry, I was wrong' two hundred times! You are not allowed to eat or sleep until you finish writing! Give it to me when you finish!"

Zeng Anmin has the demeanor of a contemporary famous teacher.

He looked down at Hu Zi, with a sense of oppression in his eyes.

When Hu Zi heard this, his whole face wrinkled into a bitter gourd shape.

"uncle."

He raised his head hopefully, his voice full of grievance: "I really know I was wrong..."

"It's no use! Go! Don't be lazy!"

Zeng Anmin rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to hit someone: "If you were slower, my slap would have landed on your butt!"

"I'll go, I'll go..."

Hu Zi quickly ran towards the study.

"Ah~"

Looking at his small back.

Aunt Lin sighed deeply again.

…………

late at night.

When Hu Zi walked out of the yard with trembling hands, he felt like crying but had no tears.

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, his small silhouette looked very desolate.

Zeng Anmin looked down at the 200 sheets of high-quality rice paper that Hu Zi had handed in.

On each one was a crooked "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit anyone."

Humph.

He snorted softly.

So he prepared to go into the house.

It's late at night, and it's time to go to bed.

Suddenly, a light figure landed on the eaves of his roof.

"Drawing a sword and laughing, I go out to travel the world! My ambition can swallow the universe, and my chivalrous spirit can withstand the wind and frost!"

Hear this voice.

The corner of Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.

He looked up towards where the pronunciation was.

Bai Ziqing was dressed in white, holding a long sword diagonally in his hand, looking down at him condescendingly.

From Zeng Anmin's perspective, there was a bright moon behind Bai Ziqing.

This picture is extremely beautiful.

But when I think of that strong smell...

"Brother Bai? Why are you here?"

A friendly smile appeared on Zeng Anmin's face.

I haven't seen him for some time since Bai Ziqing became the Northern Commander of the Imperial City.

"Come and see you."

Bai Ziqing, hearing Zeng Anmin's familiar voice, a smile appeared on his expressionless face.

He lightly tapped his toes, and his white clothes fluttered in the wind, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

The next moment, he came directly in front of Zeng Anmin.

"I'm going to be away from Beijing for a while."

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin seriously and said, "I don't know when I will be back, so I came to see you."

"Ok?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment, then opened the door: "Come in and talk."

"it is good."

The two of them came to the table in the room and sat down.

Eyes facing each other.

Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing's flowing yellow curly hair, blinked and asked:
"What's going on? Why are you leaving the capital for no reason?"

Bai Ziqing sighed softly: "Do you still remember that green-bellied snake?"

"Of course." Zeng Anmin nodded slowly.

Could it be that...Emperor Jianhong does not want to investigate this matter openly.

But there must be some grudges about this matter in my heart!
After thinking for a moment, he looked up and asked:

"Could it be that Your Majesty..."

Bai Ziqing glanced at Zeng Anmin in surprise, then nodded solemnly and said:
"Well, after I took over Beitidu temporarily, I went into the palace privately once."

"Your Majesty still wants me to find out the origin of that green viper."

"I have been secretly investigating these days. Through the Imperial City Bureau's dragnet, I found out that the maid named "Xiangchun" has been secretly communicating frequently with the owner of a courtyard in the past two years."

Having said that, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he wanted to show off in front of Zeng Anmin.

"But he escaped?"

Zeng Anmin connected this to Bai Ziqing's words about leaving Beijing.

He looked up and looked into Bai Ziqing's eyes seriously.

He is leaving Beijing so suddenly, I think he must have made all the necessary preparations.

Otherwise, if the outside world was so vast, how could he possibly leave Beijing directly?

"And you should have found out which direction he was heading, right?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing thoughtfully.

"Hmm." Bai Ziqing's face was slightly dull for a moment.

The pretentious aura on his body disappeared instantly.

His eyes were somewhat resentful:
"I searched the courtyard carefully for a long time and found traces of people from the Eastern Religion."

"The Eastern Religion of Jiang Country?!"

Zeng Anmin suddenly looked up at Bai Ziqing.

The Great Sage Dynasty is ruled by Master Xu Tianshi's Xuanzhen Division.

The state religion of Jiang State is Eastern Religion.

But Zeng Anmin didn't know much about it, and only read a sentence or two of description in a pornographic novel.

The Eastern Sect of Jiang State has a magical method of entering the dream into the picture book. One penny of life can be exchanged for a whole night of pleasure, making a lot of money...

"Well, now we can infer that the Green Viper has been lurking in the capital for so long, and the Eastern Religion is behind it."

"But it doesn't matter. I have the tracking bamboo from the Xuanzhen Division, which can track the breath of the Eastern Sect's spies."

Bai Ziqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"And even if there is no tracking bamboo, the household registration system of our Great Saint Dynasty is extremely rigorous. He will definitely reveal his true identity along the way."

"Oh~"

Zeng Anmin nodded slightly in sudden realization.

"We are leaving Beijing now?"

"Let's leave Beijing now."

Bai Ziqing nodded seriously and said, "Except for Quan Fu, there is no one I care about in Beijing. You take this."

After saying this, he solemnly took out a jade pendant that looked extremely white from his arms.

"what is this?"

Zeng Anmin held the jade pendant and felt a mysterious aura in his hand.

There are many densely packed runes carved on the jade pendant.

"The communication talisman is divided into mother and son, and only the Imperial City's Sitidu can possess it."

Bai Ziqing took out an identical jade pendant and waved it in front of Zeng Anmin:

"I have one in my hand, too."

"What good is this thing?"

Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at Bai Ziqing.

"As long as we are within the Great Saint Dynasty, you and I can communicate through this talisman. This item is extremely precious. There are only four pairs in the Imperial City Division in the entire Nine Provinces. You must keep it safe."

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin solemnly.

"But wouldn't it be better if you gave it to the subordinates of the Imperial City Division?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing suspiciously.

This will also allow you to send a message when you need support, which is more convenient.

Bai Ziqing coughed dryly, looking somewhat embarrassed:

"The main reason is that if I encounter any unsolved mysteries along the way, I can discuss them with you."

Zeng Anmin twitched his lips speechlessly.

No wonder!

No wonder when such an urgent case happened, your first thing was not to track down the murderer, but to come to Shangshudi to find me!

Are you negotiating this?

Are you sure you don't want me to help you solve the case over the phone?!
