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

Chapter 147 Their purpose is to survey the dragon map!
Zeng Anmin looked down at the bodies.

Then he looked up at Liu Ji: "The body found at 11:00 am, right?"

Liu Ji nodded seriously.

That is to say, around ten o'clock at night.

Around ten o'clock, Huang Yuangao and these servants were all wearing clothes?

Why? An old official was still awake after 10pm and still had the energy to admire the peach blossoms in the yard?
"Huang Yuangao's time of death is wrong."

Zeng Anmin stared at Liu Ji and asked calmly:
"When does the government office close?"

Liu Ji also sensed something was going on. He dared not neglect the matter any more and bowed his head respectfully and replied:

"Mr. Huang usually returns to the temple at the hour of Xu."

That is to say, Huang Yuangao returned to his yard after get off work at around seven in the evening.

Zeng Anmin vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched the truth.

He looked at Liu Ji deeply.

Then he said, "Send me all the purchase records of the kerosene merchants."

Having said that, he led the way outside.

Soon, they arrived at the yard where Huang Yuangao died.

He sat opposite Bai Ziqing.

Quietly waiting for Liu Ji.

"Brother Quan Fu has already made some progress?"

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin in surprise.

There were only two of them in the yard at this time.

Zeng Anmin grinned, raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Ziqing and asked:
"Why do you say that, Brother Bai?"

Bai Ziqing smiled shyly: "Brother Quan Fu, I understand you. Every time you are about to reveal the truth, your expression will be..."

Having said this, Bai Ziqing pointed at his squinted eyes.

“They all have the same expression.”

Zeng Anmin didn't expect that Bai Ziqing was quite observant of him.

He smiled faintly, without commenting, and asked Bai Ziqing:

"Did you find anything wrong when you were questioning Liu Ji just now?"

Bai Ziqing heard this.

He stroked his upturned chin.

There was a thoughtful tone in his voice:
"Do you suspect Liu Ji?"

"hehe."

Zeng Anmin smiled and shook his head: "Let's wait until he sends the purchasing documents."

Bai Ziqing was a little confused.

"My Lord, the records you requested."

Not long after, Liu Ji respectfully brought a few people and delivered several boxes of bills.

Several large boxes.

There must be nearly 100 kilograms of paper inside.

"Well, let Wang Wu stay, and all of you leave."

Zeng Anmin looked towards Wang Wu.

"Yes."

Liu Ji did not dare to be negligent and walked out of the courtyard with his subordinates.

There were three people left in the yard.

Zeng Anmin, Bai Ziqing, and that Wang Wu.

"grown ups……"

When Wang Wu saw Zeng Anmin's gaze on him, he felt a little restrained for a moment.

Zeng Anmin chuckled softly, slowly stood up, walked to Wang Wu's side, and gently patted his shoulder:

"You don't have to be afraid."

"Just a few questions for you."

There was a smile on Zeng Anmin's face.

Wang Wu was a little scared when he heard Zeng Anmin's words.

His body was tense the whole time, and he swallowed his saliva:
"Excuse me, sir."

Zeng Anmin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then looked towards the big boxes.

After looking around, he said calmly:

"Who reads these kerosene records?"

Although Wang Wu was a little confused, he still answered seriously:
"My lord, it's all under the supervision of Lord Liu."

"Oh."

Zeng Anmin stared at him straight, releasing his aura, and said in a quiet voice:
"You can't lie."

Wang Wu's body trembled and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"Don't dare to deceive in the slightest."

"That's it."

Zeng Anmin looked at him with a half-smile, then calmly returned to his seat, crossed his legs, stared at Wang Wu who was kneeling on the ground and said:
"Look up at me."

Wang Wu raised his head tremblingly.

But when he noticed Zeng Anmin's eyes filled with lavender.

His body trembled violently and his eyes became dazed.

Zeng Anmin's voice was very light:

"Let me ask you, when the fire broke out that night, did you smell anything strange?"

Wang Wu said blankly: "I smell it..."

Oh?
Zeng Anmin's lavender eyes narrowed.

He just used the method of examining his conscience on Wang Wu.

Then he withdrew his question.

Wang Wu's body shook violently.

He lowered his head in fear, not daring to offend in the slightest.

"Go down."

Zeng Anmin waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes."

Wang Wu left the yard in fear.

…………

"Did you just use the self-examination technique on this petty official?"

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin and asked.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Zeng Anmin glanced at him, then fixed his eyes on the large boxes. He stretched out his hand to Bai Ziqing, hooked his finger and said:
"Don't sit there anymore. Check the kerosene."

Whether it is Liu Ji or Wang Wu.

Both of these people's statements have been proven.

Arsonists have ignition.

"Uh."

Bai Ziqing's face froze.

There are so many records, and if I look at them one by one, I don’t know when I will finish.

"Ugh."

He sighed deeply and began to investigate bit by bit as Zeng Anmin did.

Zeng Anmin was a Confucian and Taoist of the sixth rank.

With the help of Haoran Zhengqi, he searched these records very quickly.

But the quantity is too large.

Finally, when it was dark.

He put down the last piece of paper in his hand.

There was a flash of thought in his eyes.

"There is indeed no problem. Whether it is the vendors or the purchasers, the records match."

“No one is buying in bulk, and no one is buying in lines from different places and then gathering them in one place…”

Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin's brows were tightly locked together.

So what's going on?

Could it be that the kerosene appeared out of thin air?

"How about going to eat something first?"

Bai Ziqing looked up at the moonlight and felt a little uncomfortable.

The two of them spent nearly three hours in this yard looking through these records.

"Whoo~"

Zeng Anmin breathed a sigh of relief.

The time to investigate the case is indeed very tight.

But we can't let the young master go hungry.

He thought about it, then nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go."

"Let's go, let's go to your Wangxian Residence."

A smile also appeared on Bai Ziqing's face. He swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said:

"The food at Wangxianju is truly unforgettable. I don't know how the chef prepares it. It doesn't smell good, but it tastes delicious when you eat it."

"Let's go."

Zeng Anmin glanced at him and said nothing more.

The two stepped out of the yard.

"Shangguan, are there any new clues?"

I never expected that Liu Ji was still standing respectfully outside the yard, waiting for Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing.

Zeng Anmin glanced at him calmly and said nothing: "Bai Ti and I are going out for a while, and we will investigate the case when we come back."

"Yes."

Liu Ji bowed to the two men's backs.

……

"This Xuanjing Division hasn't changed much."

Bai Ziqing and Zeng Anmin were walking in the corridor, looking at this familiar environment, and he sighed:
“Remember that yard?”

"It was in the dry well in that yard that the dragon map was found."

Time has passed, and more than half a year has passed since the time travel.

Zeng Anmin smiled and said, "Of course I remember."

What else does he have to say.

Then his body shook violently.

He stood there for a long time without moving.

What's wrong??

Bai Ziqing saw Zeng Anmin pause, with a blank look on his face. Dragon Map?
Zeng Anmin suddenly raised his head and looked towards the painting institute.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and headed towards the yard.

"Hey?"

Bai Ziqing caught up with Zeng Anmin in a daze.

The two of them stepped into the Zhitu Courtyard together.

Zeng Anmin said nothing and looked towards the main hall.

The door to the main hall was open.

When he saw the huge dragon map in the Zhituyuan.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Worry too much.

But when he approached the Kanlongtu.

His eyes suddenly trembled.

"Who dares to break into Zhituyuan?!"

Several voices suddenly rang out.

Rushed out from the main hall.

Soon, they were on guard.

Zeng Anmin raised his head and looked over.

A smile appeared on his face.

The Longtu Institute was established because of my father's negligence at that time.

The current security force is much more vigilant than before.

"Master Zeng?"

When the leading garrison officer saw the smile on Zeng Anmin's face, his expression froze slightly.

Then he suddenly widened his eyes:

"Didn't you go to the capital with Master Zeng? Why are you back?"

"Tsk, it's a good thing someone still knows me."

Zeng Anmin smiled when he saw officials he was familiar with.

He smiled at the man and said:

"Come back to see, what? Are you not welcome?"

"Master Zeng, what you said is insulting me! Come in, please!"

The man happily came to Zeng Anmin and asked Zeng Anmin to go into the house with him.

Zeng Anmin followed him to the main hall.

However, his eyes were still on the dragon map in the center of the main hall.

When you get close.

Zeng Anmin's eyes shook violently.

My heart also paused for a moment.

"The Dragon Map has been swapped!!"

There is almost no stagnation.

He immediately noticed that there was something abnormal about the dragon map.

Because in this world, no one knows the Dragon Map better than him! !
In his sea of ​​consciousness.

He sees the shadow of Kanlongtu every day!

Even now, he could draw the dragon map with his eyes closed.

Although the dragon map in front of me doesn't look any different.

But Zeng Anmin could still see the clues in some of the line treatments at a glance! !

moment.

Zeng Anmin finally figured out the thread that ran through his mind.

"I see!!"

Zeng Anmin stared at the "Dragon Survey Map"

There was a hint of coldness in the voice.

"what?"

Bai Ziqing, who was standing by, heard this.

He is totally refreshed!

He looked at Zeng Anmin with great anticipation.

"What turns out to be that?"

The person who led Zeng Anmin into the main hall was also confused.

"I know the truth of the matter."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

Without hesitation, he said to Bai Ziqing at full speed, "Call that Liu Ji over here."

As soon as Zeng Anmin finished speaking, Bai Ziqing tiptoed out of the yard.

The speed is like a ghost.

In just a blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

"This……"

All the guards looked at Zeng Anmin in confusion.

Zeng Anmin didn't say anything, just found a seat and sat down.

Close your eyes and think slowly.

"Pfft!"

He didn't think long.

Then he saw Bai Ziqing carrying Liu Ji over.

He threw Liu Ji in front of Zeng Anmin with a casual throw.

"Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy... this..."

Liu Ji was a little confused. He looked up blankly at Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing.

"Lord Sheriff!"

When the guards saw Bai Ziqing's actions, their faces changed drastically. They drew their weapons from their waists and stared at Bai Ziqing.

After Liu Ji saw this, his face turned pale: "Put away your knives!!"

His voice sounded a little sad.

These idiots!

Don't you even look at who is standing in front of you?!

That’s the imperial envoy from Beijing!
How dare you draw your knife randomly? ? !
Want to die?!

"Liu County Magistrate."

Zeng Anmin looked at Liu Ji with deep eyes, and there was a hint of gloom in his voice:
"Now, answer me truthfully. What did you smell when you set the fire that day?!"

This is an extremely important clue.

"If you tell the truth, I can keep you safe, but if you still dare to hide anything..."

Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed with a dangerous light:
"You're going to die terribly."

really.

Zeng Anmin said this.

Liu Ji's body trembled violently.

He raised his head, his face became even paler, and he looked at Zeng Anmin tremblingly:
"Sir...Sir...I, your humble servant..."

"Humph!"

See his performance.

Zeng Anmin then knew it.

There is only one possibility that the Kanlong map was swapped.

It was done by the demon clan!

The evil hearts of the demon race have never died!!

"There was a demon tribe causing chaos in the territory and killing your superior. You knew you were responsible, so you concealed the truth, right?"

There was a flash of extremely fierceness in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

After Liu Ji heard Zeng Anmin's words.

His body slowly went limp.

obviously.

Zeng Anmin's words touched his heart.

"How do you know it's a demon?"

Bai Ziqing was stunned.

He understood from Liu Ji's performance.

Zeng Anmin is right.

But he was also there for everything that just happened.

Why can’t I find out what demons are causing trouble?
Zeng Anmin glanced at him.

I know that the demon tribe is obsessed with the Dragon Map, and I discovered it from this fake Dragon Map.

But this must not be said.

This is an extremely important secret.

This is a secret known only to Zeng Anmin and his father.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, his voice tinged with gloom:
"I just thought of it too."

"I read all the records in those large boxes, but I didn't find any clues."

"Then there is a high probability that the ignition material was not kerosene."

"In addition to kerosene being able to ignite a building in such a short time... there is another possibility."

Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing quietly: "A cultivator of strangeness, or a demon race."

After saying that, he glanced indifferently at Liu Ji who was lying limp on the ground.

There was a gleam of light on his face:

"And Liu Ji..."

At this point, he looked at Liu Ji coldly and asked, "What rank of Confucianism are you?"

Liu Ji raised his head with a look of death: "Seventh rank."

"Humph!"

Zeng Anmin sneered, "A seventh-rank Confucian cultivator must be able to sense the aura of the demon race. That night you knew that the demon race was involved in the arson case, right?"

Liu Ji didn't say anything.

My body became a little limp.

"No, the demon tribe appeared in the south of our Great Saint Dynasty..."

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin hesitantly.

Zeng Anmin nodded calmly: "So, we can now focus on Huang Yuangao's death."

"Ok?"

Everyone looked towards Zeng Anmin suddenly.
