Chapter 235 I have seen this man in a bamboo hat!
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing with great suspicion in his eyes.
Every time this guy comes to me, he asks me to do something for him.
Although I can benefit from it every time.
But he now knows very well that the first thing he has to deal with is the strange energy in his sea of consciousness.
As long as this thing is not removed, I will always have a worry in my heart.
"hey-hey."
Bai Ziqing had a smug smile on his face.
He mysteriously pulled out a document of appointment from his pocket:
"Look what this is?!"
Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the document suspiciously.
Then the pupils shrank slightly.
[Today, there is a student named Zeng Anmin who has won the top prize in the autumn examination and has been specially appointed as the Chief Official of the Northern Division of the Imperial City!]
Just a short line of words.
Zeng Anmin was completely confused by what he saw.
Appointment documents? ?
What are you doing?
Isn’t it said that if you pass the imperial examination, you can only be sent to be a county magistrate?
How did you get a job in Beijing?
"This thing... is fake, right?"
He couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
The handwriting remains unchanged!
Moreover, it has the saint's seal on it, the deal is done!
"Grass!"
Zeng Anmin couldn't help but curse:
"Has the cabinet agreed?"
"Ha ha!!"
Bai Ziqing couldn't help but smile when he saw Zeng Anmin's expression:
"Don't worry, once you enter the Imperial City Division, you'll have Ben Tidu's protection, and no one can embarrass you!"
As he spoke, he came up and put his arm around Zeng Anmin's shoulders:
"Come on, brother Quan Fu is so happy about his promotion. I'll treat you to a meal from the Jiaofangsi!"
"Get out!"
Zeng Anmin couldn't help but look upset. He pulled Bai Ziqing's arms away and glared at him:
"Are you making a fuss about this?"
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin innocently and said:
"Well, kind of. I just used some connections to transfer you from Dongtidu to Beitidu."
"Transfers within the department do not need to be reported to the cabinet."
…
"So, I can't refuse this document?"
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and looked at Bai Ziqing solemnly.
"His Majesty has even personally affixed the seal."
Bai Ziqing spread his hands and said, "How could it be fake?"
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance in his heart.
"Let me make it clear first. Even if I were to work at the Imperial City Bureau, I would not work on this case with you."
Zeng Anmin glanced at Bai Ziqing.
The case of assassinating the emperor.
If it is done well, you can take the lead in the credit, but you will also offend all the officials of the other two departments except the Imperial City Department.
If you don’t do it well... then congratulations, you have offended the emperor.
"Oh! These are all trivial matters."
Bai Ziqing grinned happily:
"Let's go. We really need to celebrate this promotion."
"I'm not going. I have to go find my dad."
Zeng Anmin pursed his lips, and his eyes became deep.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this appointment document."
Having said that, he stood up and headed towards the Shangshu Hall.
"Hey! Don't go!"
Bai Ziqing was just about to catch up.
Then he saw Zeng Anmin coming back.
"Right, it's not too late for you and me to celebrate this good news first, and then go home and tell your father the good news..."
Zeng Anmin took the document from Bai Ziqing's hand with an expressionless face.
Then he turned around and walked out.
"Why……"
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin's back and sighed helplessly:
"It seems that Brother Quan Fu is so happy that he can't even smile."
…
"father!"
Zeng Anmin looked deeply at Zeng Shilin who was sitting in front of him:
"You've been looking at this document for a long time, so please give me some advice."
"Why are you sending me to the Imperial City Division out of the blue?"
"How can a Confucian cultivator like me enter the Imperial City Department?"
Zeng Anmin looked at his father with a look of deep confusion on his face.
Zeng Shilin slowly put down the document in his hand.
He looked up at Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin also looked at his father.
"There's another mystery behind this."
Zeng Shilin squinted his eyes and looked into the distance:
"General Officer of the Imperial City's Northern Division, a sixth-rank civil servant."
"This document has not passed through the father's hands."
"What do you mean?" Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at his father:
"How did the seal come about without your hand?"
Zeng Anmin was a juren.
Still the champion.
Naturally, his official appointment cannot be sloppy. It needs to be discussed by the three elders of the cabinet and then reported to the saint, who will stamp it before it can be sent out.
My father is the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and one of the three elders of the cabinet.
This document didn't even pass through Dad's hands?
"Could it be Li Zhen?"
Zeng Anmin's brow furrowed even deeper.
His father glanced at him and said, "Lord Li is very busy. As your father, he is the only one who deserves your respect. Do you think you are worthy of it?"
Well……
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched:
"After all, I am the top candidate in the imperial examination..."
"Hmph~"
Dad sneered:
"Only Li Zhen would personally take action against anyone other than the top scorer in the Golden Examination. No one else is worthy of this."
"Okay."
Zeng Anmin touched his nose in dismay, but still couldn't help but quibble:
"Don't the three elders also need to be together to select the top official..."
"stop."
Dad waved his hand impatiently, glanced at Zeng Anmin and said:
"If it weren't for my father saying that you still need to gain some experience in officialdom."
“Don’t trust books for everything.”
"What's written in the book?"
"You have to combine the content of the book with the reality, so that you can understand your own path."
"So you've been talking for a long time but still haven't said anything. What should I do now?"
Zeng Anmin curled the corner of his mouth.
"Go when you have to."
The old man threw the paper in front of Zeng Anmin like trash with an indifferent look on his face:
"I'm just a chief official. Why wouldn't I be afraid to take up the position?"
"And it won't delay your exam next year."
"Just send someone from the Imperial College to notify them."
"Okay."
Zeng Anmin picked up the document, stroked his chin and thought for a while, as if he had thought of something. He looked up at Zeng Shilin and asked:
"How does the Imperial City Bureau's secret archive compare to the Imperial College's?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Dad kept looking at Zeng Anmin like he was a fool:
"What kind of place is the Imperial College? How dare you compare it to the Imperial City Department?"
"Even if the Imperial College's books were five times as many, they wouldn't be worth a fraction of what the Imperial City Department had."
"The Xuanzhen Division is said to have collected all the books in the world, but it can't compare to the Imperial City Division."
"Since the founding of the nation and the establishment of the Imperial City Division, whether it's rumors or ancient images, the Imperial City Division encompasses everything."
Awesome!
After hearing this, Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up.
If that's the case...
It is very likely that clues to the Lotus of Heaven can be found!
Without further ado.
Zeng Anmin dressed up and appeared at the door of the Imperial City Office again in just one day.
Why say again...
He vaguely remembered meeting King Qi the last time he came here.
"Brother Quan Fu!!"
Bai Ziqing had already arrived at the gate of the Imperial City Office to greet Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin was slightly stunned when he saw Bai Ziqing.
"What are you wearing today?"
The Bai Ziqing in front of him was dressed in white, looking old.
But what the hell is that crabapple flower on the head?
Zeng Anmin felt like he was screwed.
He looked at Bai Ziqing's flashy outfit, and a person subconsciously emerged in his mind.
Willow string, willow crabapple.
That guy always dresses like this...
"Today is the first day of duty for Brother Quan Fu, so as his elder brother, I naturally have to come and greet him personally."
After Bai Ziqing finished speaking, he waved his hand gently.
“Swish!!”
"Bang, bang, bang."
In Zeng Anmin's dull gaze.
A team of nearly 300 people from the Imperial City Department walked out of the Imperial City Department’s government office.
The steps are neat and in sync.
"Bang!"
Three hundred people pounded their chests in unison.
"Meet the Second Master!"
?
Zeng Anmin was completely numb.
He felt his heart beating faster.
Second Master? ?
Zeng Anmin felt his face getting hot.
"Hello, brothers..."
He awkwardly returned the greeting to the three hundred grapes.
"Hello, Second Master!"
"Good luck to the Second Master!"
"Second Master, righteousness!"
Three times in a row, as if they had been rehearsed, the sounds were loud and clear, and ended in unison.
Zeng Anmin's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
Because he could already hear people on the street pointing and talking about him.
I you...
Zeng Anmin glared at Bai Ziqing.
At this time, Bai Ziqing was still feeling complacent.
"Brother Quan Fu will definitely like this kind of scene!"
"Imperial City Commissioner Li Yanshou greets the Second Master!"
"Huang Shi, the Imperial City Commissioner, has met the Second Master."
"Imperial City Commissioner Xue Min greets the Second Master!"
No explanation.
Three big men came to Zeng Anmin, pounded his chest and introduced themselves.
"Ahem."
Zeng Anmin first coughed dryly:
"Zeng is just a clerk, I don't deserve such a welcome from you gentlemen..."
“Well deserved!!”
The three judges shouted loudly:
"Mr. Zeng is clear-minded in his service to the country and the people, and he always puts justice first!"
"How can you not deserve our respect?!"
Bai Ziqing was extremely satisfied watching from the side.
He was very pleased with the performance of his three men.
"good!"
At this time, Bai Ziqing took over, his expression indifferent:
"Let's not talk about Zeng Xianzi's three military strategies, which led to the destruction of Yumen Pass and the occupation of Qinghai Bay."
"But it's this imperial examination."
"Carrying firewood for the public definitely deserves our respect."
Goodbye soon!
This was the first time Zeng Anmin felt so socially anxious since he traveled through time.
"Ahem."
He coughed again.
He felt that he coughed several times more today than before.
"Well, let's go back first. I need to check my room first."
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing and whispered.
"No need to look any further."
Bai Ziqing's face showed a calmness. He waved his hand and said:
"I have already moved Chief Zeng's chamber into mine."
"From now on, Chief Zeng will work with me."
? ?
Zeng Anmin pursed his lips.
But with so many people there, and it being his first day on duty, it was hard to say much.
And Bai Ziqing looked like this...
He glanced at Bai Ziqing's indifferent expression again.
I also know that he is one of the four great Tidus in the Imperial City Bureau, a legitimate fourth-rank official.
You have to have prestige in front of these little brothers.
"Okay."
He nodded, and followed Bai Ziqing into the gate of the Imperial City.
Imperial City Division.
It is the most prestigious department in the Great Holy Dynasty.
He is known for supervising all officials.
Execute first and report later.
Imperial special authorization.
It can be said that in the capital, a small grape can walk sideways.
Because I want to become the emperor's daughter.
In addition, the three generations of ancestors must be clean.
The minimum requirement is to be a martial artist of the highest rank.
The ninth rank of warrior may not sound high.
But considering the population base of the Great Holy Dynasty.
He is definitely a one in a million talent!
Qingfeng Hall.
Bai Ziqing's sexual intercourse.
Zeng Anmin sat opposite Bai Ziqing.
Bai Ziqing sat there pretending to write calligraphy and painting.
"Bai Tidu, if there's nothing else, we'll go back to the Ministry of Personnel to report."
An official bowed respectfully to Bai Ziqing.
"Well, go ahead."
Bai Ziqing had no expression on his face and waved his hand calmly: "Close the door for me."
"yes."
…
“Pah.”
As the door rang.
Bai Ziqing pretended for a while.
finally.
He couldn't pretend anymore.
“Pah.”
He put down the pen casually.
"Brother Quan Fu!" These four words rang out.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and looked at Bai Ziqing expressionlessly.
"Help!"
Bai Ziqing came up to Zeng Anmin fiercely, his face showing a desire for life:
"Your Majesty has already issued an ultimatum regarding the assassination attempt by the man in the bamboo hat."
"If I can't find any information about the assassin within three days, I'm doomed!"
…
Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at Bai Ziqing:
"Didn't I say I don't want to get involved in this case?"
He no longer wanted to sit here.
He just wanted to go to the secret archives of the Imperial City Bureau.
The most important thing is to eliminate the evil energy in the body.
certainly.
Zeng Anmin definitely did not intend to practice dual cultivation.
He just wanted to find the Lotus of Heaven as soon as possible.
As for the eldest princess and so on... let's talk about it later.
"You can't just stand by and watch someone die."
Bai Ziqing's face was anxious, and he said loudly:
"If you can't solve this case, then there is absolutely no one else in the entire capital who can."
"How do I find it?"
Zeng Anmin was really impatient. He frowned and stared at Bai Ziqing and said:
"The assassin's strength is far beyond my ability to measure."
"And I know nothing about it..."
"I'm not a god."
"I found it when I said I would."
"You definitely have a way!" Bai Ziqing stared straight at Zeng Anmin. "I believe in you. You definitely have a way."
Bai Ziqing now has blind faith in Zeng Anmin.
It can’t be said that I believe it.
It is worship.
In terms of methods of solving cases.
He even thought Zeng Anmin was the god of solving cases.
"No clue."
"No trace of the second one."
"Three no information."
Zeng Anmin stared at Bai Ziqing and sneered:
"Why! Even if Sherlock Holmes came, he would be put to rest."
Bai Ziqing looked confused.
"What black silk are you caressing?"
Zeng Anmin...
"Someone you don't know."
Zeng Anmin was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Who said there are no clues?"
Bai Ziqing went straight back to his desk and pulled out a stack of documents.
"Look! This is the summary of the three departments of the Imperial City Department, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple in recent days."
"We also asked an expert from the Xuanzhen Division to draw the true face of the man in the bamboo hat."
"Of course it's just a deduction, how exactly..."
"You'll have to see it yourself to find out."
There was a flattering smile on Bai Ziqing's face.
Zeng Anmin glanced at him.
I casually took the document he handed over.
Just a casual glance.
Just this one glance.
His hand suddenly stopped.
His brows were tightly furrowed.
He looked at the facial portrait of the man in the bamboo hat deduced by the master of Xuanzhen Division.
“This person…”
"I think I've seen this somewhere..."
