Chapter 192 "I don't want the red seal and iron certificate anymore. Can you please return my father to me?"
It was dawn.
Officials were attending court one after another.
The creaking sound of carriage wheels came one after another.
Looking out from the imperial city, one after another of extremely luxurious carriages slowly appeared in sight.
Outside the palace.
There was confusion in everyone's eyes.
The officials in brocade uniforms who got off the carriage all looked in one direction.
In front of the empty palace gate.
A frail, thin figure was holding a heavy iron tablet in his arms.
The inscription on the stele is written in bright handwriting.
The thin figure had yellow flowers stuck in his hair.
He was wearing a white linen robe.
It's approaching August.
Although it wasn't cold in the early morning, it was already late summer, and the cool breeze blew over the thin figure.
Make it tremble from time to time.
"Whose daughter in mourning is kneeling in front?"
The officials who got off the carriage and prepared to head towards the imperial city all had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Qin Wanyue just held the certificate, with a stubborn look in her eyes:
"The inconsiderate girl Qin Wanyue sued the court officials and brought murderers to break into my house and steal the things left by my ancestors..."
"Wanyue?!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Qin Wanyue's body trembled.
Look towards the source of the sound.
Zeng Shilin hurried forward and came to Qin Wanyue.
"What happened that you are kneeling here?"
As he spoke, he urged the servant beside him, "Go get some clothes..."
Qin Wanyue saw the concern in Zeng Shilin's eyes.
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer after holding them back for a long time.
"Uncle Zeng...someone wants to steal my Qin family's "The Handwritten Book of the Confucian Sage"..."
"They said they were going to build a monument to commemorate my father's achievements...but they were actually coming to the mansion to rob..."
By the time she got to this point, her lips were almost bitten.
"What?!!"
Zeng Shilin's body shook violently, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.
He looked at Qin Wanyue in front of him, and countless thoughts emerged in his mind?
Are you crazy??
Qin Shoucheng had just died fighting for his country.
The imperial edict bestowed by His Majesty is not even warm enough.
How dare someone openly steal someone's ancestral belongings?
Is there a conspiracy?
Zeng Shilin narrowed his eyes and thought.
But no matter how you think about it, it's too illogical.
Robbery...
"Don't stay here, follow me into the palace to see His Majesty."
Zeng Shilin gently helped Qin Wanyue up.
Then he looked in the direction of the palace.
His eyes also flashed with an extremely cold chill.
Brother Qin just died.
Then someone jumped out?
interesting.
…
Above the main hall.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely solemn.
Everyone looked at Zeng Shilin and Bai Ziqing standing in front of them.
Qin Wanyue followed Zeng Shilin tremblingly.
Just now, I entered the hall.
Zeng Shilin reported everything he knew to Emperor Jianhong.
Emperor Jianhong was naturally extremely furious.
He directly ordered Bai Ziqing, who was still in the Imperial City Bureau, to go and investigate the specific situation.
After some investigation.
Bai Ziqing reported back all the information he had found.
"There were two people killed, both of them were shot to death."
"One is an eighth-rank warrior named Liuzi, and he's a servant."
"One of them is... the Minister of Revenue, named Duan Yuanpei."
Bai Ziqing still has some abilities.
The investigation was quick.
"Minister of Revenue?!"
When Emperor Jianhong heard the report, his eyes suddenly looked in a certain direction.
There stood the Minister of Revenue, Lou Yingqi, with a bewildered look on his face.
Dad also narrowed his eyes and looked at Lou Yingqi.
Lou Yingqi didn't hesitate at all.
He stood up and bowed to Emperor Jianhong and said:
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue's Deputy Secretary Duan Yuanpei was originally recommended to the Ministry of Revenue by the Left Censor-in-Chief. The letter of recommendation should now be on file with the Ministry of Personnel."
…
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone looked in a certain direction.
The current Left Censor-in-Chief of the Supervisory Yuan, Hou Qingming, looked up in confusion.
He quickly stepped out of the line and said to Emperor Jianhong:
"Your Majesty, I have no knowledge of this matter!"
…
“Bang!!”
Emperor Jianhong slammed the armrest of the dragon throne hard.
"Bai Ziqing!"
He looked at Bai Ziqing with cold eyes.
"I am here."
Bai Ziqing did not dare to be negligent and bowed.
"Confiscate Duan Yuanpei's property and exterminate his entire family."
The sound of anger resounded throughout the hall!
At the northern headquarters of the Imperial City, Bai Ziqing looked solemn and was about to take orders and leave.
But Zeng Shilin stepped forward to stop him.
"Your Majesty, I do not believe that a mere official like me would have the guts to do such a thing."
Zeng Shilin was not afraid at all, he looked up at Emperor Jianhong:
"Qin Shoucheng fought to the death and died together with Bi Xuan."
"This achievement is no less than the founding of a nation!"
"So many eyes are concerned about the Qin family!"
"How long has it been since Your Majesty obtained the imperial seal and iron certificate to enter the Qin family?!"
"He's just a clerk, is he suffering from a brain disease and dares to come and rob people?"
"If you say there is nothing strange here, I absolutely don't believe it!"
What he said was so decisive!
Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at everyone in the court with a sullen face.
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not raise them.
Zeng Shilin said so much, but only had one sentence to say.
Keep investigating and find out who is behind this.
Do you think you can let go of a mere matter of a Censor’s property being confiscated?
impossible.
As for how many officials and people were implicated?
Even the officials in the capital were all killed!
I, Zeng Shilin, will never turn a blind eye to this!
This has been said.
The anger on Emperor Jianhong's face disappeared.
Became expressionless.
Things here are definitely not as simple as they seem. How could he not notice it?
Just from the surface, it can be seen that this is a second-rank official, Zuodu Yushi...
But if you really follow this line to investigate.
Do you still want the capital?
Right at this moment.
"I will never let the daughter of my deceased minister feel disheartened about this matter."
Emperor Jianhong was silent for a while, then looked at Qin Wanyue and Zeng Shilin and said:
"First, confiscate the property of Duan Yuanpei and his family and exterminate them."
"As for the follow-up."
Having said this, he looked towards Bai Ziqing and said in a cold voice:
"It will still be investigated by Lord Bai himself."
…
As soon as these words were spoken.
Zeng Shilin's face turned ugly.
That's what I said.
But the perfunctory attitude is too obvious.
He took a deep breath and was about to speak.
But listen to the side.
Qin Wanyue could no longer hold back her tears.
She knelt in the hall without caring about her image.
"Your Majesty, my father has just passed away, and this kind of robbery has occurred in the palace."
"If my father were still alive, who would dare to do that?"
Qin Wanyue let the tears flow down her face.
She looked at the red book and iron certificate in her arms.
With trembling hands he reached upwards:
"The red seal and iron certificate, I don't want it..."
"Can you please return my father to me..."
After saying this, Qin Wanyue could no longer hold back her grief.
It echoed throughout the entire hall.
The sad crying touched everyone's heart.
"Can you give my father back to me..."
This sentence was like a bombshell.
Any person with feelings cannot remain untouched.
Even an emperor as hard-hearted as Emperor Jianhong couldn't help but turn his head away after hearing this, with guilt flashing in his eyes.
For a moment, he didn't dare to look at Qin Wanyue who was kneeling on the ground.
Zeng Shilin clenched his fists tightly.
The anger between his brows almost burst into flames:
"Your Majesty, if this case is not thoroughly investigated...how can the soul of Qin Daru rest in peace?!"
"How can the millions of people of our Great Saint Dynasty be at peace?!"
Zeng Shilin couldn't hold it in any longer, and his voice was filled with deep sadness!
Emperor Jianhong was silent for a long time.
Finally, he looked outside the hall indifferently.
His eyes are extremely deep.
A hint of murderous intent slowly emerged from him.
"check!!"
This voice sounded.
Emperor Jianhong had no expression on his face.
He took a deep breath and looked at Bai Ziqing calmly:
"The Imperial City Department, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supreme Court, all three departments, come out in full force! If you don't get to the bottom of this within ten days, I will punish you!"
As soon as these words fell.
There was a look of horror in everyone's eyes.
They all looked up at Emperor Jianhong.
Who can't understand the meaning of this sentence?
Pursue!
Your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly...
“Swish!”
A moment.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the frail figure kneeling on the ground.
Just a few words.
Touches the heart.
This woman...
…………
"What?!!"
Zeng Anmin sat up from the bedroom in an instant.
There was fire in his eyes.
He stared straight ahead.
Bai Ziqing was dressed in military uniform at this time, with a solemn expression on his face:
"I have already told you all the details of the incident."
"So this time I came to seek your help..."
"Let's go!" Zeng Anmin's face showed a hint of coldness.
"ah?"
Bai Ziqing hasn't reacted yet.
Zeng Anmin grabbed his sleeve and walked away.
"drive!!!"
Without the slightest hesitation.
Ride faster.
Zeng Anmin only hated that the whip in his hand was too slow to whip.
He wanted to beat the horse to death...
Of course, everyone who rides a horse knows that the whip should never be used on the horse unless it is absolutely necessary.
Two fast horses.
Rushing between the capital cities.
"The Imperial City Division is investigating the case, and everyone else is staying away!!"
Bai Ziqing still has a conscience.
He shouted at the people on the street.
To avoid the horse under his crotch from colliding with the people.
It usually takes half an hour to get there.
He walked for less than two quarters of an hour.
I saw the gate of Qin Mansion in front of me.
Zeng Anmin dismounted and headed towards the mansion.
"Wan'er!"
When Zeng Anmin stepped into the mansion, he saw two corpses at the door in front of him.
The Imperial City Division has extremely strict control over the scene when handling cases.
Zeng Anmin has always appreciated this point.
But at this moment, his mind was not here.
He moved very quickly and in just a few flashes he had already entered the main hall.
At this time, in the main hall.
Qin Wanyue sat on the chair with dull eyes.
I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
After hearing Zeng Anmin’s call.
Qin Wanyue's body shook violently.
When those almond-shaped eyes met Zeng Anmin's concerned gaze, she could no longer stop crying.
"Zeng Lang!"
Qin Wanyue stood up and threw herself into Zeng Anmin's arms without saying a word.
Feeling the faint fragrance coming from Qin Wanyue.
The fire in Zeng Anmin's heart grew brighter.
He took a deep breath, put his hands on Qin Wanyue's shoulders, and his eyes were full of guilt:
"Wan'er, I'm late."
"It's my fault. I failed to protect the Qin family."
Qin Wanyue just choked and shook her head and said:
"It has nothing to do with Zeng Lang. At such a time of autumn, no one would have thought that someone would suddenly dare to offend the Qin Mansion."
She finished speaking.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
"Wan'er, you have to tell me everything that happened."
"There are too many strange things about this matter."
"I just listened to what Brother Bai said. The clues are incomplete, so I can't make any inferences."
"So, you must remember everything that happened at that time."
After he finished speaking, his eyes slowly looked towards the gate of Qin Mansion.
The two corpses were watched over by two guards from the Imperial City Bureau.
"Um."
Qin Wanyue nodded seriously.
She grew up with Zeng Anmin.
Naturally, I know Zeng Anmin's abilities.
"Let's go to the study first. All the specific things will happen in the study."
"Um."
Zeng Anmin nodded solemnly.
Qin Wanyue followed him into the study.
Seeing this, Bai Ziqing naturally did not dare to hesitate and followed the two into Qin Shoucheng's study.
“Da~”
After entering the study.
Zeng Anmin slowly narrowed his eyes.
Everything in the study was different from the last time he saw it.
chaos.
Very messy.
It was obvious that the two corpses at the door had turned the study upside down when they came in.
"They entered the mansion under the pretext of looking for old posts."
“Then they began to search furiously.”
Qin Wanyue stood behind Zeng Anmin and began to recall the scene bit by bit:
"After searching the table, he began to search the bookcase. He found the 'Handwritten Book of the Confucian Sage' and was about to leave."
Speaking of this, Qin Wanyue pursed her lips and said:
"I tried to stop him, but was pushed down by his servants."
"When they walked out of the yard, Green Willow and her servants surrounded them."
"But I never thought that the servant was a warrior."
"Unable to stop him, I suddenly remembered the fire gun Zeng Lang left for me before he went to war."
"So they shot them both dead at the door."
…
Zeng Anmin heard what Qin Wanyue said.
His brows were furrowed.
He looked at Qin Wanyue thoughtfully:
"Where is the 'Handwritten Book of the Confucian Sage'?"
Qin Wanyue was not on guard in front of Zeng Anmin. She looked at Zeng Anmin and said:
"After this incident, I hid it in my room."
"Come with me."
Not long.
Zeng Anmin then saw the "Handwritten Book of the Confucian Sage".
From the first moment I saw these bamboo slips.
A sense of awe emerged in his heart.
The bamboo slips are not big.
It is also very light to start with.
But the ancient meaning coming from above made him a little dazed.
"Zeng Lang?"
Qin Wanyue called Zeng Anmin softly.
"ah!"
Zeng Anmin came back to his senses and attached great importance to this volume of "Handwritten Books of the Confucian Sage".
When I was in Liangjiang County.
My father once said that neither Dean Qin nor his family ancestors could see through the secret of "Handwritten Book of Confucian Sage".
But my dad saw through it.
He also said that he saw some secrets from the secrets of "The Handwriting of the Confucian Sage".
For example... the Kanlongtu is the fifth diagram of the way of heaven!
"Those two came here named Shoutie."
Zeng Anmin looked at the messy table in the study.
Each piece of calligraphy above is messy but not damaged.
He said thoughtfully, "But the messy rummaging on the table shows that it's just a cover-up for the two of them."
"After finding the table, I immediately searched the bookcase..."
"This shows that their purpose is very clear."
Zeng Anmin thought of this and gently rubbed the "Handwritten Book of the Confucian Sage" in his hands.
His brows furrowed:
"But what happened in the hall today also confirmed it."
"If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely not let it go..."
