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

Chapter 193 The truth is revealed!!
"Is this the amount of brains you have to have to become an official in the Imperial Secretariat?"

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.

This is very unreasonable.

Now the battle of Bifeng Valley has just ended.

Apart from the Zeng family, the Qin family is the second most famous family.

Qin Shoucheng died fighting for his country.

It was because of him that we were able to achieve a great victory in Bifeng Valley.

It was because of him that Duke Tian Ji of Wei was able to achieve a great victory!
It can be said that the credit goes to the Zeng family, the Duke of Weiguo, and all the soldiers who were able to return from the battlefield in Guangnan County.

Zeng Anmin himself, the eldest princess, and Tian Ji.

Or even more broadly, His Majesty the Current Emperor.

Who wouldn't appreciate Qin Shoucheng's kindness?
In addition, Qin Shoucheng used to be the dean of the Water Governor Academy. How many of his students became officials in various prefectures?
Even in the Imperial College today, how many students have he personally taught?

This huge network of relationships.

Not to mention he was just a Censor of the Ministry of Revenue.

Even if the Prime Minister Li Zhen came in person and tried to snatch the "Handwritten Book of the Confucian Sage", he would be skinned alive afterwards!

"It's a little strange."

Zeng Anmin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Bai Ziqing with deep eyes:
"Brother Bai, I want to see the body."

Bai Ziqing also knew the seriousness of the matter.

At this time, he didn't dare to interrupt Zeng Anmin's thoughts at all.

For fear of interrupting his train of thought, he had to use his own brain.

"Walk."

Bai Ziqing's expression was solemn. He first glanced at Qin Wanyue.

He looked at Zeng Anmin again.

Then he turned around and walked forward.

Not long after.

The three of them had arrived at the gate of the Qin Mansion.

Zeng Anmin frowned and slowly squatted down.

He looked at the two bodies lying on the ground.

"They were all killed by one bullet."

He squinted his eyes and looked at the two bodies on the ground.

Let’s first talk about the warrior dressed as a servant.

The ammunition from the musket landed on his back, and the blow was extremely clean and neat.

It can be seen that the fire gun made by Master Xu Tianshi of the Xuanzhen Division is extremely powerful.

And the official was named Duan Yuanpei.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

Was shot in the chest.

This shot must have been fired in a state of tension.

It only hit the right chest.

But because the bullet is extremely powerful.

After entering the body, it shattered all the internal organs, including the heart.

"The body has been examined by the top coroner in my Imperial City Division."

"Their belongings."

"No clues were found."

"And we specially invited disciples from the Xuanzhen Division to investigate their spirits, and there was no sign of any cultivators interfering."

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin seriously and said.

Listening to Bai Ziqing's statement.

Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

He looked carefully at the two bodies on the ground.

My mind is a little messy.

There was no sign of practitioner intervention.

"That is to say, he came here on his own, not being manipulated by anyone..."

This is even more wrong.

Zeng Anmin raised his head slowly, a hint of thought in his voice:

"Have you checked his daily movements?"

"We have checked. Apart from his family and the Ministry of Revenue, there has been no suspicious behavior in the past six months."

Bai Ziqing's brows were also tightly furrowed.

This is indeed strange.

"At his home?"

Zeng Anmin raised his head slowly.

“I checked that, too.”

Bai Ziqing sighed and said, "As soon as His Majesty issued the order, I sent people to his home. The only clue was that he had prepared a carriage ten miles in front of his house."

"I think this was a way to prepare a retreat for myself. After snatching the Confucian Sage's Handwritten Book, I took a car and headed north."

……

“But that’s where the suspicion lies.”

"Even if Miss Qin didn't have a musket and he really got hold of the Confucian Sage's Handwritten Letter, he would have fled north on a carriage. With your Majesty's thunderous wrath and the full efforts of the Imperial City Bureau to track him down, he would be found in two days at most."

"I can only say that he underestimated the power of our Imperial City Division."

Bai Ziqing sighed:
"Moreover, Duan Yuanpei was an honest official. He never accepted bribes, nor did he form cliques for personal gain."

"The reason why he was able to enter the Ministry of Revenue and take the position of Jieshizhong was because one of his articles was noticed by Zuodu Yushi, and he was already known for his integrity at the time, so he was recommended to the Ministry of Revenue."

"I have been working in the Ministry of Revenue for nearly three years."

At this point, Bai Ziqing himself was confused:

"I really can't understand why he did this."

Zeng Anmin closed his eyes.

Slowly thinking about all the clues from Bai Ziqing's words.

Yes, as a normal person.

How could you do such a thing when you know you can't escape?

Bai Ziqing crossed his arms, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter:
"If he wants the Confucian Sage's Handwritten Book, he has an eighth-rank warrior as a servant, so there is no need to break into the mansion."

"Wear a nightgown, sneak into the Qin Mansion, scout the place for two days, and then steal it directly..."

"It's better than making such a scene..."

Zeng Anmin's eyes became profound.

He shook his head slowly:
"Wan'er must have noticed that the Confucian Sage's Handwritten Book was stolen."

"At that time, you can either report to the authorities or go directly to the palace to file a complaint."

"He still can't escape."

"With the hunting methods of the Imperial City Bureau, he will be arrested and brought to justice one or two days later than what we are doing now."

"Uh."

When Bai Ziqing heard Zeng Anmin say this, his expression froze slightly:
"That's true."

"Fortunately, the Confucian saint's handwriting was not lost."

Zeng Anmin looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, then handed them to Qin Wanyue and said:

"Wan'er, such an important thing should be kept well."

Qin Wanyue shook her head and said:

"Zeng Lang, you should keep this item for me. It will attract too much attention if it is kept in my Qin Mansion."

"That won't work." Zeng Anmin quickly waved his hand and refused: "One thing for another..."

"My Qin family belongs to Zeng Lang." Qin Wanyue looked up at Zeng Anmin stubbornly and said:

"I know you have no intention of spying on this thing, but it will be dangerous if it continues to stay in the Qin Mansion."

"Zeng Lang probably doesn't want something like today to happen again, right?"

"Uh."

Zeng Anmin felt distressed.

He could see clearly that Qin Wanyue was just looking for an excuse to give this thing to him.

But I still found so many reasons.

"Take it." Qin Wanyue turned her head away: "If you don't accept it, you will despise me..."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath, looked at Qin Wanyue very seriously and said:

"The river is a thousand feet deep, but it is not as deep as the love that the moon gives me."

Hearing this half poem.

Qin Wanyue's body trembled violently for a moment.

Then he looked up at Zeng Anmin, his eyes almost turning into autumn water: "Zeng Lang..."

"Wanyue..."

"Cough cough!"

Bai Ziqing is a little numb.

He coughed.

Hearing this cough.

Zeng Anmin's eyes also became extremely cold.

He placed the Confucian saint's handwriting in his arms.

He looked at Qin Wanyue and Bai Ziqing and said:

"I think I have an idea."

"what?"

The two looked up almost at the same time.

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes and said:
"Brother Bai, bring all the items on Duan Yuanpei to me."

"Also, I want to visit his home."

"it is good."

…………

Soon, Zeng Anmin followed Bai Ziqing to a small mansion on the street.

Zeng Anmin, who was used to seeing large mansions, saw this kind of small mansion of a middle-level official for the first time.

The Fuzhong Station is very small in front of the ground.

There is only one courtyard.

After entering, he walked towards Duan Yuanpei's house without any hesitation.

"That's all he has."

After entering the house.

There was also a person from the Imperial City Bureau, who followed the two of them respectfully.

Give everything away.

Two items.

A very ordinary jade pendant.

A purse with only one or two taels of silver in it.

"Just these two?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the furnishings in the room.

While looking at the jade pendant and purse in his hand.

Both of these things look extremely ordinary.

"That's all."

The corner of Bai Ziqing's mouth twitched:
"He is such an honest official that this house was given to him by the Ministry of Revenue."

honest?

Zeng Anmin disagreed with these two words.

Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne.

Everyone knows this simple truth.

"Have you looked through everything in here?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the messy house.

His eyes scanned everything inch by inch.

He now has an idea in his mind.

But something else is needed to prove it.

"It has turned over."

Bai Ziqing made a gesture towards the grapes in front of him.

The grape respectfully brought up a box.

"These are all very common objects."

Zeng Anmin glanced at the objects indifferently.

When his eyes came into contact with the contents of the box.

His eyes suddenly burst into a brilliant light! !

He reached out calmly and picked up one of the ordinary-looking wooden tokens.

"What is this? Where did you get it?"

He looked at Bai Ziqing and asked.

"I don't know either..." Bai Ziqing's eyes flashed with confusion as he looked at the grapes.

The grape said respectfully:
"This is what I saw in Duan Yuanpei's only son's room. It should be a child's toy..."

"I will throw it away..."

Zeng Anmin, however, stared at the wooden sign.

A very ordinary wooden sign.

It's so ordinary that I'm too lazy to pick it up if it's thrown on the ground.

But he squinted his eyes.

He slowly extended his right hand into his arms.

next moment.

He took out an identical wooden sign from his arms.

The only difference is that it is different from that wooden sign.

There were two words engraved on the token in his hand: Lu Yi.

The piece in the box is bare, with nothing in it.

See this scene.

Bai Ziqing's eyes suddenly became solemn.

There must be a story behind these two identical wooden signs!!
"what is this?"

He looked towards Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath, looked at Bai Ziqing solemnly and said:

"I still remember when we went to Liangjiang County to investigate the death of Huang Yuangao."

"Were you attacked in the woods?"

Bai Ziqing raised his head abruptly, staring at Zeng Anmin intently:
"You mean..."

"A spy from the Eastern Church!!"

"Hi~"

Bai Ziqing's scalp suddenly felt tingling!
He stared at Zeng Anmin and asked, looking at the token with "Lu Yi" engraved on it, "Where did you get this wooden token?"

"That day, I relied on the power formation set up by Miss Xuanzhen Si Sai to scare it away, and then I saw this wooden sign on the ground."

Zeng Anmin lied.

He got this token after shooting the Oriental spy.

"So, Duan Yuanpei is related to the Eastern Religion's spies?!"

For a while.

Bai Ziqing's teeth were chattering slightly.

I thought it was an ordinary robbery case.

But I didn’t expect that there was an Eastern religion behind it!
"Then, Duan Yuanpei's motive for snatching the "Sage's Handwritten Book" is clear!"

"He is a spy from Jiang State!"

Bai Ziqing stared at Zeng Anmin.

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin's eyes became extremely deep.

"But judging from the distance from the carriage we found."

"It's definitely heading north."

"Shouldn't Jiangguo... be in the south?!"

There was a flicker of dizziness in Bai Ziqing's eyes.

He felt that his brain was not enough!
I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed with an extremely sharp light:
"I already know everything."

"The truth is very close to us."

It wasn't just Bai Ziqing who heard his words.

Even Tizi, who had been standing nearby, looked bewildered.

They couldn't think of anything.

I could only stare blankly at Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his chin, his phoenix eyes were sharp, and his voice was filled with murmurs:

"This spy named Duan Yuanpei is not a fool."

"On the contrary, he is a smart man with a higher IQ than the two present here."

……

Bai Ziqing was silent for a moment.

Obviously, Zeng Anmin said he was a fool, and he admitted it.

In front of Zeng Anmin, he was indeed no different from a fool.

"The power of the Imperial City Division in pursuit is not only known to the world, but also to Duan Yuanpei."

"He knew that even if he didn't alert the Qin family and tried to steal, he would still be caught in the end, and he would still not be able to escape."

"Because of Dean Qin's death, too many people took it seriously."

"If the Confucian Sage's Handwritten Book was stolen, the number of wanted warrants and search warrants would be extremely high."

"so……"

Zeng Anmin looked towards the south, his voice full of certainty:
"It would be better to just make a big fuss about this matter so that everyone knows about it!"

"Let all eyes be on him."

"He will continue to ride north, and he will run as long as he can."

"It's better to postpone it for a day."

"When he is really caught..."

Zeng Anmin retracted his gaze and looked at Bai Ziqing, a sneer slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth:
"The real spy who had the 'Sage's Handwritten Book' had already run away in the opposite direction, the south."

hum! !

Hear his voice.

Bai Ziqing only felt his brain shake violently.

In an instant, all the clues and connections were connected!
"You mean, he has prepared other people to meet him!!"

Zeng Anmin did not answer this stupid question.

He just nodded lightly, his eyes were extremely deep:

"It's just that they didn't expect that there was a fire gun made by the Xuanzhen Division in the Qin Mansion."

After hearing this reply, Bai Ziqing looked at Ti Zi, who was already dumbfounded.

"Chase!!"

Zeng Anmin just looked at Bai Ziqing's back slowly and said:

"It's only been one night, he can't have gotten far! It will be a great achievement if we catch him!"

Without any hesitation, his body rose up from the ground like a roc and headed south.

"Chirp!!"

Before he finished his words, Bai Ziqing had already rushed out ten feet away.

Tizi no longer hesitated and followed Bai Ziqing at full speed.
