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

Chapter 31: Aunt Murder Case
After two days of idleness at home, Zeng Anmin stayed in his study except for occasionally playing with Hu Zi.

This study room was a room that my father had vacated in his yard in the past two days.

It was sunny in Liangjiang County these two days after the snow.

If Confucianism and Taoism want to continue to advance after opening up the Purple Palace, they can only concentrate on studying and rely on daily accumulation and understanding of the world.

Without a special opportunity, it is possible that you will never get close to it in your entire life.

In Zeng Anmin's hand was a book called "Yi Zi", which was left to him by Zhang Lun.

"Quan Fu, the annotations are my understanding of the meaning of the text. I hope they are useful to you, so that you will not let down the trust you have placed in me."

Seeing this familiar note, Zeng Anmin continued to read it carefully.

In almost every unfamiliar paragraph, you can see Zhang Lun’s tiny handwriting.

Turn to the last page.

Zeng Anmin's eyes fell on a short poem, also written in Zhang Lun's handwriting.

I hope Brother Quan Fu will not waste his time.

To encourage reading, I recommend this poem:
Time is like water and cannot be returned, so you should read as little as possible before you return.

In the hall, the flowery words broke the topic and won the first place in the literary competition to repay the honor.

Seeing this poem, Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched:
"Brother Tongyu, Brother Tongyu, your poem to encourage learning is really not very good."

Although he cannot write poetry, Zeng Anmin can be considered a Confucian and Taoist after all, and his ability to appreciate poetry is still good.

His comment was that the poem could barely be considered a doggerel.

"Snapped."

Zeng Anmin put the book on the table and was about to stretch.

But then I heard someone knocking on the study door, followed by Dachun's silly voice:

"Master, it's time to go to the government office to take up your post."

"Oh."

Zeng Anmin stood up and walked out.

The day after he had an unpleasant encounter with his father in his study, he received the employment documents from Xuan Jing Si.

I have to say that my dad's bad habit of being hard on the outside but soft on the inside is actually quite good.

Today is his first day on the job.

“Pada~”

Gently pushing open the door, Zeng Anmin looked at Dachun standing at the door.

At this time, Dachun was leading a horse with a very respectful look on his face.

Two days ago, I followed the young master home and was beaten up for no reason by Qi Boping.

After returning, he refused to accept the defeat and argued with Qi Bo, and was beaten again.

So he was extremely honest in the mansion these days.

"gone."

The two of them walked out of the yard one after the other and entered the long path of the mansion.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, Zeng Anmin saw his father preparing to go out under the guidance of the servants.

The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first.

Because of the unpleasant incident in the study, Zeng Anmin is now in a cold war with his father.

"Dad! Why aren't you wearing your official uniform today?"

Zeng Anmin blinked.

Since my father has already helped me get the job, I should take the initiative and submit.

How can a son argue with his father?

"Let's take a day off today and go for an outing."

When the father heard his son speak first, his tense expression relaxed a little and his voice became much softer.

Zeng Anmin sighed and said, "It's good to go outing. As you get older, you should pay attention to relaxing."

Dad's face, which had just relaxed, turned dark again.

He snorted coldly and walked out, saying as he walked:

"You will start work today. You should behave yourself in the government office, don't cause trouble, and listen to your superiors' advice."

"understood!"

Zeng Anmin straightened his body and walked out of the street with Dachun.

"Gee!" He jumped onto the horse in great spirit, pulled the reins lightly, and the BMW under his crotch galloped away!

Thanks to his predecessor, he did not feel any discomfort when riding a horse.

Dachun also climbed onto another horse and followed the young master towards the entrance of Xuan Jingsi.

……

Zeng Anmin led the horse and looked at the extremely imposing gate in front of him.

There was a trace of regret on his face.

I remember that the last time I was in front of this gate, I was still a criminal.

Now he is already an official of the eighth rank.

Xuan Jing Si is very big.

After entering through the gate, it took a long walk to reach his office. As soon as he entered the yard, a middle-aged scholar in blue clothes was waiting for him with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged scholar was wearing official uniform, with a thin face, small eyes, a high and straight nose, and a mustache at the corner of his mouth.

After seeing him, the scribe laughed heartily:

"I am Xu Yunfeng, the Right Dianshi of Xuanjing Division. The Left Dianli has just arrived. We will be colleagues from now on. I will lead the way for you."

"Thank you." Zeng Anmin looked at the middle-aged scholar and bowed calmly.

I can feel that the other party came prepared and is well aware of his identity.

It is not clear whether they are friend or foe.

Xu Yunfeng kept smiling as he slowly came to Zeng Anmin and stretched out his hand, saying:
"this way please."

"Thank you."

Zeng Anmin followed Xu Yunfeng into the courtyard and walked into a not-so-small house.

The whole house is bright and airy, equipped with screens, tables and chairs, porcelain, etc.

Xu Yunfeng pointed at the room and said:
"This is Zuo Dianli's office. All official business will be done here from now on."

Zeng Anmin looked towards the house.

You can see that it is cleaned very well.

……

"The position of Si Zuo Dian Li is quite special, and the things he is responsible for are quite diverse."

"The most important thing is the public security in the area along the river in Liangjiang County."

After hearing this, Zeng Anmin felt deeply moved.

Dad treats me well!

It can be seen that this is a position that can make a lot of money.

Along the river.

These may include docks, water transport markets and many other places.

As the largest county in Fengqi Road, Liangjiang County has a lot of profits from its wharf and water transport.

With Xu Yunfeng's introduction, Zeng Anmin quickly became familiar with his business.

"We have two teams of red-clothed men in the clerk's office. With them here, we can just leave these tasks to them on weekdays."

Xu Yunfeng's voice was very gentle.

"Hmm~"

Zeng Anmin looked at Xu Yunfeng calmly and nodded slowly.

The two walked forward and talked. When they came to a bookshelf, Xu Yunfeng introduced:
"This is the file rack. All the cases in the Linjiang area are collected here. Many of them have been handled by me. When you have nothing to do, you can also observe and learn."

Just as Xu Yunfeng finished speaking, a voice sounded from outside the door:

"Xu Dianli, this is the file you handed over."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came in holding something that looked like a scroll.

"Well, put it on the table."

Xu Yunfeng smiled unchanged, looked at Zeng Anmin and said in a gentle voice:

"Before this, the post of Zuo Dianli was vacant, so I have been handling the cases in the Linjiang area. Now that you are here, I naturally cannot take over."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zeng Anmin keenly sensed something was wrong.

He nodded calmly, then picked up the file on the table and slowly looked at it.

The first page of the file clearly reads seven characters: "The case of the son of Jin Taiping, a ship merchant, killing his aunt"

Jin Taiping.

The largest ship merchant in Liangjiang County!

"Congzi" means nephew.

The date above is clearly marked, the case was from three months ago.

The difficulty of this case can be seen from the date alone.

If it was an ordinary case, how could it be delayed for three months?
"Haha, that's interesting."

Zeng Anmin looked at the file in his hand with a half-smile on his face.

The Xu Yunfeng in front of me... is an enemy, not a friend!
The Xuan Jing Si was nominally a department established by the imperial court to assist the governor.

But in fact, it is vaguely divided into three factions.

The first is the direct lineage that my father has cultivated during the four years since he took office.

The second is the minions who have infiltrated the Prince Jiang’s Mansion over the years.

The third is the neutral faction.

From the contact just now, it can be seen that Xu Yunfeng knows that he is his father's son.

If he were his father's direct descendant, he would never come up with such a case for himself.

Similarly, if you are a neutral person, if you want to get rid of the hot potato, you will give yourself two days to familiarize yourself with the business first.

So there is only one possibility.

This Xu Yunfeng should be from Prince Jiang’s Mansion!
