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

Chapter 236 "I'll give you double what Bai Ziqing gives you!"

Zeng Anmin saw the portrait.

His brows were knit together tightly.

His eyes were fixed on the portrait in his hand.

"how?"

Seeing Zeng Anmin's expression
Bai Ziqing's eyes immediately lit up.

He stared at Zeng Anmin:
"What? Have you figured out the clues?!"

There was even a hint of surprise in his voice.

God!
I said that my brother Quan Fu is invincible in solving cases. Who can compete with me?

"Can't tell."

Zeng Anmin looked at the slightly feminine man on the screen.

He glanced at Bai Ziqing again:

"I feel like this man in the bamboo hat looks similar to you."

……

Bai Ziqing was stunned at first.

Then he waved his hands: "Impossible!"

"My brother is handsome and majestic."

"How could it be like this..."

He glanced at the feminine-looking portrait on the scroll with disdain.

"Thin lips and narrow eyes, like a woman."

Zeng Anmin was stunned.

He blinked and looked at Bai Ziqing, his tone even sounded a little unbelievable:

"You don't really think you're that manly, do you?!"

With this look of yours and a little makeup, you would have definitely been a top star in Thailand in your previous life!
"Humph!" Bai Ziqing sneered:
"There are not many people in the world today who can match my appearance, and you are one of them."

……

Come on.

Zeng Anmin rolled his eyes, and returned his gaze to the scroll, speaking with a hint of thought:
"Besides you, I always feel like I've seen a man like you somewhere else..."

"But I can't remember exactly where it is."

Zeng Anmin sighed.

Place the scroll gently on the table.

On the scroll.

A black charcoal pencil drawing of a man with a calm expression.

Thin lips, small eyes and a straight nose.

The appearance is extremely outstanding.

Even boys with feminine appearance have a feminine and elegant aura.

"Where have I seen you before..."

Zeng Anmin's brows were tightly furrowed.

Bai Ziqing saw that Zeng Anmin was thinking seriously and did not dare to disturb him.

"never mind."

Zeng Anmin glanced at the scroll again:
"It has nothing to do with me anyway."

As he said this, he stretched himself:

"I'm tired from work, go take a rest."

Having said that, he stood up and walked outside.

"Hey?"

After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Bai Ziqing's face froze. Just as he stretched out his hand, he saw Zeng Anmin had already walked out of the room.

"Oh, right."

Zeng Anmin seemed to remember something and walked back to Bai Ziqing.

"Hehe, my dear brother Quan Fu..." Bai Ziqing just opened his mouth and said a few words.

Then he saw Zeng Anmin's hand had reached his waist.

A token with the word "North" written on it was taken down by Zeng Anmin.

"Lend me this token. I'm going to the Imperial City Bureau's secret document library to look up some books."

Zeng Anmin glanced at him.

Bai Ziqing wanted to say something, but after hearing Zeng Anmin's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He nodded as fast as a chick pecking at rice.

Until Zeng Anmin's back disappeared.

He then sighed deeply:

"I was saying, how could Brother Quan Fu abandon me?"

"He said he didn't care about the case, but he went to the secret document library to check the information right after he finished reading the clues..."

"I understand."

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin's receding back with awe:

"Brother Quan Fu is putting pressure on me. He doesn't want me to rely on him for everything. He also wants me to be able to solve cases like him one day!"

……

Secret document library.

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his eyes.

Dad’s words are indeed right!

The secret archives of the Imperial City Bureau have eleven floors!
He looked up at the magnificent skyscraper.

It was as if I could see the swordplay and the forgotten history of the Great Saint Dynasty from its founding to the present.

It is a feeling with a profound connotation.

"Our Great Saint Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, and it has inherited the culture of the previous Han Dynasty. Its foundation is incomparable to Hu Jiang."

in this world.

Some people base their beliefs on the human race.

Some people base their beliefs on the country.

As soon as the voice came out, Zeng Anmin could feel that the person who came must be a person who believed in national honor.

Those who call Nanjiang "Hu Jiang" are those who have a strong sense of national honor.

Zeng Anmin heard the voice and turned to look over.

Then a figure stopped in front of the secret document library.

"newcomer?"

The figure had broad shoulders and a calm face.

Looking from Zeng Anmin's direction.

Although he is not tall, he is very well-proportioned from head to toe.

It looks like it gives people a comfortable feeling.

The man glanced at Zeng Anmin, and there was a hint of indifference in his voice.

"Yes, I have met the superior."

Zeng Anmin's eyes were reflected on the man's waist. On the token on his waist was a glaring word "Dong" written on it.

The four major cities are east, west, south and north.

Bai Ziqing is the northern capital.

So the word "North" is engraved on the token.

This person's token is the word "Dong".

The identity is obvious.

Xiang Wangxian was the eastern governor of the Imperial City.

When it comes to Xiang Wangxian, he is not very famous.

He is quite low-key in Beijing.

But his father Xiang Donglai...

Zeng Anmin's ears rang with the words Liu Shishi said when he first met her:
"Third-rank warriors are extremely scarce in the entire Great Saint Dynasty."

"There are only Si Zhongxiao, Li Jian, and Xiang Donglai in the capital."

Xiang Donglai.

A third-rank warrior of the older generation.

He was already famous when the previous emperor was alive.

But now he is very old, and has retired from his armor and returned to the countryside, hiding in Xiang Mansion and never coming out.

Of course, more reports said that Xiang Donglai was seriously injured and had been struggling to survive in the mansion for all these years.

But this has little to do with Zeng Anmin.

"No need to salute."

There was a hint of alienation between Xiang Wangxian's brows:

"Don't stay in front of the secret document library for too long. There is a formation in front of the door."

After saying that, he slowly walked towards the secret document library.

Look at his back.

Zeng Anmin blinked.

This person seems to be cold towards others.

But he doesn't have a bad heart.

With his reminder.

Zeng Anmin did not stay either, but took Bai Ziqing's token in his hand and walked towards the secret document library.

Soon he arrived at the case.

A young clerk sat behind the desk.

"This is the token."

Zeng Anmin handed Bai Ziqing's token to him.

After the clerk read it, his expression changed and he said respectfully:

"Tidu token, you can browse the first eight levels of the secret document library at will."

"You can't go above the ninth floor."

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin nodded thoughtfully.

Then he took the token and walked forward.

He took a quick look around the first floor.

They were all lifestyle magazines or some unimportant case files.

After flipping through the pages casually, he headed towards the second floor.

There are also many files on the second floor.

However, the nature of the case is indeed more serious than the one on the first floor.

After the third floor are the major cases, which can only be read with a token of a certain level.

The fourth floor contains all the cases of rebellion and conspiracy since the establishment of the Great Saint Dynasty, as well as information about all the people involved in these cases. There are even many scandals of concubines in the harem.

And the dirty deeds of the princes of past dynasties...

Zeng Anbian was terrified by what he saw.

He casually flipped through a few pages and went straight upstairs to the fifth floor.

When he picked up the first book on the fifth floor, his heart slowly began to calm down.

Starting from the fifth floor, all books are related to practitioners.

The fifth floor records more about the distribution of the major sects in the martial arts world, as well as information about the people within the sects.

He took a look and found that the most recent information was just collected and placed here last month.

"The Guishan Sect was wiped out by a mysterious person."

"Eleven eighth-rank, three seventh-rank, and one sixth-rank, all dead."

"It seems that a fourth-rank master was responsible for the scene."

……

So exciting.

Zeng Anmin only took a casual look and could feel the gleam of swords and sabers in the martial arts world of the Great Sage Dynasty.

A sect, although not a big one.

But if you say destroy, it will be destroyed.

Only a few words were left in the secret archives of the Imperial City Bureau.

"But then again."

Zeng Anmin thought about it and said with emotion: "The intelligence department of the Imperial City Bureau is definitely the best in the world."

Between words.

He had already reached the sixth floor of the secret document library.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have a token?"

A respectful voice sounded.

At the entrance of the sixth floor, two clerks saluted Zeng Anmin.

"It seems that a token of a higher official rank is required for floors above the sixth floor."

Zeng Anmin handed over the token in his hand.

"I wonder what kind of book Shangguan wants to read?"

After seeing the token in Zeng Anmin's hand, the two clerks became more respectful. After returning the token, one of them followed Zeng Anmin and went towards the shelves of books in front of them.

Zeng Anmin pondered for a moment.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at the clerk and asked:
"Where are the books about Taoism and the spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"

"Please follow me." The clerk bowed and walked slowly forward.

Zeng Anmin followed him and came to a bookshelf.

“Here are all the books about Taoism.”

"As for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots that Shangguan mentioned...Currently there are only two books that have records of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots."

"The Root Sutra is on the third shelf on the left side in front. You can tell at a glance."

The clerk pointed to the bookshelf in front of him, and then said respectfully:
"There is also a copy of the 'Record of Strange Herbs' which only your majesty can read."

"Record of Strange Herbs"...

Zeng Anmin nodded slowly, then said: "Well, okay, you go down first, I'll call you if I need you."

"Yes."

The clerk slowly retreated.

Zeng Anmin was the only one on the entire sixth floor.

From this we can see how much importance the Great Saint Dynasty attaches to the Secret Archives of the Imperial City.

"Wow~"

Zeng Anmin first casually opened a book called "Dao Lu".

After briefly reading it, he put the book back on the bookshelf.

This book tells the scriptures and teachings passed down by Taoism.

The reading difficulty for him is so severe that he has no clue at all.

What he wanted to read more was the history of Taoism, to see if he could find some clues about the strange energy here.

Finally, after nearly two hours of hard work.

He just saw some useful information in a book called "Nianhua Daoshi".

"The seventeenth year of Emperor Yong of the Han Dynasty."

"The great scholar Qi Shang was disturbed by a strange red aura."

"Within a month, all the Confucian foundations were lost."

"After a thorough investigation, it was found that it was done by the Taoist Fu Sect."

……

See this record.

There was a gleam of brilliance in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

"Taoist Fu Sect..."

There was a murmur in his mouth.

Could it be that this sect is divided into several sects?

Without hesitation, he followed this clue and began to look for relevant books about Taoist Fu Sect.

"Da da da."

After walking a few steps, his eyes suddenly fixed.

In the gap between the two books in front of me.

Qi, Talisman, Sword

Next to these three words there is a line of small characters: Taoism is divided into three sects.

See here.

He just reached out his hand.

"Snapped."

At this moment, the other hand also naturally pressed on the book.

Ok?
Zeng Anmin lifted him up and looked at the owner of the hand.

Xiang Wangxian!
The person I just met at the door of the secret document library!
Imperial City Sidongtidu!

"Greetings, Lord Xiang."

Zeng Anmin bowed to him.

"It's you."

Xiang Wangxian frowned slightly.

He slowly picked up the book in his hand and glanced at it.

When he saw the mark on the book, he put the book there again.

Zeng Anmin said solemnly, "I am Zeng Anmin, the Northern Chief of the Imperial City Department."

"Zeng Anmin."

Hearing the name, Xiang Wangxian frowned slightly, and then looked Zeng Anmin up and down carefully.

"The Mr. Bao Xin that has been rumored in the capital recently?"

Mr. Firewood Carrying?

Zeng Anmin was the first to feel that his nickname was so ugly.

He groaned, then smiled bitterly:
"These are all rumors from the outside world. You don't have to worry about them, Shangguan."

"hehe."

A rare smile appeared on Xiang Wangxian's face, and the look he gave Zeng Anmin became a little more intimate:

"Although I don't care about rumors, your performance in the battle formation is very much to my liking."

"I didn't expect you to come to the Imperial City Division."

At this point, he asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"Are you working for Bai Ziqing now?"

Uh.

Why did he bring this up?

Zeng Anmin nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiang Wang first looked at him thoughtfully, then asked calmly:

"I am also short of people around me recently. Are you willing to follow me?"

"I have no control over Bai Ziqing's salary, but I can double it for you."

?

Zeng Anmin looked up at Xiang Wangxian in surprise.

When did I smell so good?
I do not know how?
Looking at the hesitation on Zeng Anmin's face.

Xiang Wangxian did not force him. He patted Zeng Anmin on the shoulder and said:
"You don't have to give me an answer now. You can come anytime."

Having said that, he put the book in his hand back to its place.

He then took out a copy of "Taoist History" and turned and left.

Look at his back.

Zeng Anmin scratched his nose.

There was a look of confusion on his face.

"It turns out that I have become so famous in the capital without realizing it..."

He himself lives in seclusion and cannot feel it.

"Forget it, don't think too much about it. The main thing for now is to deal with the evil spirit."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

Then he picked up the book in his hand and began to read.

[I don’t know when the Dao sect split into two sects. 】

[It is divided into Sword Sect, Qi Sect, and Talisman Sect. 】

[Each of the three sects has its own chief teacher.]

[The Qi clan declined after the fall of the Han Dynasty and its whereabouts are unknown. ]

[The Sword Sect is devoted to swordsmanship, and most of them are masters of supernatural powers. They uphold justice for the injustice in the world. If karma is imposed on me, I will cut it off with one sword.]

[The Taoist methods of Fu Zong are mysterious and treacherous, and they often use the endless emergence of Taoist sects to raise evil zombies as the basis for protecting the Tao.]

……

Zeng Anmin read the book from beginning to end.

His eyes gently locked on a name.

Fu Zong.

Taoist Fu Sect.

The book mentions many times the emergence of various strange Taoist sects in the Fu Sect.

Among them, there is also mention about strange energy.

The founder of Guiqi is also introduced.

So next, he only needs to focus all his attention on... Fu Zong!
