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 sessions in the past few days, and there has been no movement in the court."
At this point, Dad also added: "It's been calm."
…
Ren Weizhi did nothing?
Zeng Anmin blinked, then nodded slowly:
"I guess it will 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 Crown Prince's identity."
"From now on, Fatty won't be able to be my classmate."
There was a hint of regret in Zeng Anmin's tone.
The little fat guy is a nice person.
The character is also attentive enough.
It suits me very well.
He casually 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, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"What is his purpose in 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 a bit harsh but weak.
"Give in..." Dad smiled dumbly: "That's right."
"Ji Qing and Dean Shi are in the northern border to scare the demons. The core members of the eunuch party are away, so the court has a rare opportunity for 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 handwriting!”
Zeng Anmin gave a thumbs up.
After Dad put down his pen, he slowly raised his head and spoke indifferently:
"You don't need to worry about the struggles within the court. Just prepare for the imperial examination."
"As for the eldest princess, let's wait and see how she makes her move."
"OK."
After Zeng Anmin nodded, he walked towards his yard.
…………
"Woo woo woo~"
Zeng Anmin just walked into his yard when he heard a burst of aggrieved crying.
Huh.
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, someone served her tea. She looked at Hu Zi who was crying with a calm expression.
"Woo woo~"
There was sobbing in Hu Zi's voice. He was crying and staring at his toes.
Dare not 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 a flicker of heartache in her eyes, but her tone remained steady.
Hu Zi's mouth twitched, and his aggrieved little mouth was almost pursed together, unable to speak:
"I shouldn't hit people..."
Um?
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows and slowly walked towards the yard.
He crossed his arms and looked towards Hu Zi.
Although Hu Zi has a miserable family background.
But following my father and myself, I have never been wronged in this mansion, and Aunt Lin is also very fond of this child.
You never know, he might develop bad habits.
"What's wrong?"
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 was dismissed today, the teacher came to the mansion to file a complaint."
"It's said that Hu Zi secretly hid a wooden sword and beat up all his classmates at the academy... While beating them, he forced the other kids to call him the mighty general..."
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 typical school bullying?!
"That's not all. Besides his classmates, he also didn't spare the monks from Fa'an Temple who came to the academy to beg for alms. He even had this servant hold him while he secretly hit the monks on the head with a wooden sword..."
"The Master punished him, but he still complained without repentance, saying that the monks' heads were shiny and looked like they could make a sound when struck, but when they actually did, they were muffled..."
Aunt Lin looked towards 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 a secret?"
"You're an accomplice to evil, deceiving your superiors and your subordinates!"
When she said this, tears even welled up in Aunt Lin's eyes.
She couldn't believe it.
This is actually what Hu Zi, who I raised, did...
After Aunt Lin said this, 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 and get the family discipline."
He looked at the servants, his voice cold.
"yes."
Hearing his words, several servants trembled.
He stood up dejectedly and ran outside.
…
"Besides hitting someone, what else is wrong?"
Aunt Lin looked at Hu Zi and asked.
Hu Zi looked at Zeng Anmin with grievance, and his clever eyes were full of requests for help.
"Look, I'm useless."
Zeng Anmin stared at him with a stern face.
This kind of mistake cannot be forgiven easily.
We have to let him 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 that the monk's head was very loud 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.
"His classmate's kid 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 between her brows:
"Alas, Fa'an Temple is a Buddhist holy place after all. This is really wrong. 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:
"In two days I will ask for leave from the Imperial College and personally bring him to apologize."
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. No mercy should be shown. He must be made to understand that it is wrong to bully others!"
He doesn't want to raise a little bastard who only knows how to be arrogant and domineering.
Aunt Lin pursed her lips.
She can teach slaves a lesson.
But she really has to beat Hu Zi.
It was hard for her to do it.
"Go to the study and write 'I'm sorry, I was wrong' two hundred times! You're not allowed to eat or sleep until you finish! Give it to me when you're done!"
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 any slower, this slap would have landed on your butt!"
“I’ll go, I’ll go…”
Hu Zi quickly ran towards the study.
"Alas~"
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 was about to cry 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 over.
On each one was a crooked "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit anyone."
snort.
He snorted softly.
So he prepared to go into the house.
It's late at night and time to go to bed.
Suddenly, a light figure landed on the eaves of his house.
"Drawing a sword and laughing, I 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 at where the pronunciation was.
Bai Ziqing was dressed in white, holding a long sword at an angle 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 to see you."
Bai Ziqing, upon 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 leave Beijing for a while."
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin seriously and said, "I don't know when I'll be back, so I came to see you."
"Um?"
Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment, then opened the door: "Come in and talk."
"good."
The two of them came to the table in the room and sat down.
Their eyes met.
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: "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 origins of that green viper."
"I've been secretly investigating these days. Through the Imperial City Bureau's tight network, I've discovered that the maid named 'Xiangchun' has been secretly interacting frequently with the owner of a certain courtyard for the past two years."
Having said that, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, 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.
Since he is leaving Beijing so suddenly, I think he must have made all the necessary preparations.
Otherwise, if the outside world is so vast, how could he 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.
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 presided over by 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 Jiang Kingdom's Eastern Sect has a magical method of dreaming into a 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 able to lurk in the capital for so long, and the Eastern Cult is behind it."
"But it doesn't matter. I have the Xuanzhen Division's tracking bamboo, which can track the scent of the Eastern Sect's spies."
Bai Ziqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"And even if there were no tracking bamboo, the household registration system of our Great Saint Dynasty is extremely rigorous. He would definitely reveal his true intentions along the way."
"Oh~"
Zeng Anmin nodded slightly in sudden realization.
"So we're 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 the capital. Take this."
After saying this, he solemnly took out a jade pendant that looked extremely white from his arms.
"What's 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 is only possessed by the Imperial City's Stitu."
Bai Ziqing took out another 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. Be sure to keep it safe."
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin solemnly.
"But wouldn't it be better if you gave it to the Imperial City Division's subordinates?"
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, his face a little 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, the first thing you did was not to track down the murderer, but instead came 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?!
