Chapter 61 The whole story! [Please read on]
"If the missing Dragon Map was orchestrated by the demon race..."
Zeng Anmin's thoughts became more and more distracted.
The cold wind blew across his cheek, ruffling a strand of long hair in front of his forehead, and the moonlight reflected his solemn phoenix eyes.
He walked forward step by step.
Sudden.
He paused.
His eyes looked straight at the shimmering water.
"The demon race's purpose is to survey the Dragon Map, which proves that they know the secret of the Dragon Map."
"But they don't want anyone in the Great Holy Dynasty to know this secret."
"Because the Dragon Map is not only useful to the demon race, but also to the human race."
Zeng Anmin's thoughts came to this point, and his eyes gradually calmed down.
"So the demon tribe won't reveal this secret... That means King Jiang doesn't know that the demon tribe's real purpose is to steal the Dragon Map."
"Brother Tongyu's death was caused by that demon clan who ordered the Prince Jiang's Mansion to do so..."
There was a hint of coldness in his voice.
At this time, his figure had already reached the riverside, his eyes were deep.
"Based on this speculation, Brother Tongyu was silenced because he most likely witnessed the conspiracy between the Xuanjingsi yamen runner and the demon tribe."
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
He felt that he was infinitely close to the truth.
"So who did Brother Tongyu see?"
It was late at night.
A cold wind blew, lifting the blood off his clothes.
Zeng Anmin frowned.
His body was still wet when he was caught up in a battle with King Jiang.
When King Jiang died, his body was blown apart by his martial arts aura.
Besides blood, there were also pieces of minced meat and internal organs hanging on his body...
It's really disgusting.
He looked up and could vaguely see the outline of Liangjiang County.
"It's definitely not possible to go back now."
Zeng Anmin knew that there was no way to explain the blood on his body.
But in the dark of night, he couldn't change his clothes.
I could only take off my coat first, find a shore anywhere, and wash my clothes in the river water.
After wringing out his clothes, he put them on despite the dampness.
…
It took a while.
Zeng Anmin finally arrived along the river bank not far from the gate of Liangjiang County.
"You can't get into the city tonight. Let's sneak in tomorrow morning."
He found a dense forest, crossed his hands behind his head, and lay down on the grass.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the starry sky pressing down on my head.
Living in a steel jungle in my previous life, it was difficult to see such a beautiful night sky.
The starry sky is like a vast ocean.
It aroused the excitement in Zeng Anmin's heart.
"At this moment, I really want to recite a poem."
He opened his mouth, then couldn't help laughing:
"My two brushes are not as good as Brother Tongyu's skill in playing poetry, so forget it."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and rested.
only……
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Poetry?!
He still remembered a doggerel poem encouraging learning in the book "Yi Zi" left to him by his brother Tongyu!
“Time is like water and cannot be turned back”
"It is better to read books while you are young"
"The flowery characters on the palace break the title"
"Winning the first prize in literature to repay Hui"
Zeng Anmin recited this doggerel word by word.
In the darkness, his eyes were like candlelight.
"Time, appropriate, flowers, and excellence!"
Zeng Anmin suddenly sat up from the ground.
"Could it be that Brother Tongyu had something going on with the courtesan Shiyi?!"
This was his first thought.
There were many love-hate stories between poor scholars and prostitutes in the feudal era.
"impossible!"
Given Brother Tongyu's family background, it is unlikely that he would have any conflict with the courtesan Shiyi.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes:
"What Brother Tongyu saw was the meeting between the courtesan Shiyi and the officers from the Xuanjingsi yamen!!"
The courtesan Shi Yi is a demon?!
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.
His expression became extremely strange.
“Dad…”
"An Shiyi's flower pavilion smells so good... maybe she's trying to hide her fishy smell!!"
Dad, Wang Deli...Alas!
…………
It was getting light.
A flash of light appeared in the east.
Zeng Anmin rode into the city on horseback.
After arriving at the Governor's Mansion, he did not disturb anyone. Along the way, he just casually responded to a few servants' greetings and returned to his room.
He changed into clean clothes.
It turned out that although the outer garment looked clean, the clothes underneath were soaked with blood.
Zeng Anmin hid under the bed and left the room.
"Qi Bo, have you seen my dad?!"
As soon as he went out, he saw Qi Bo practicing martial arts in the yard, and he greeted him casually.
"Master?"
When Qi Bo heard Zeng Anmin's voice, he paused and replied respectfully:
"The master should still be at the yamen right now. Didn't you come back last night?"
"I'm a bit busy with official business." Zeng Anmin made up an excuse.
…
He rode his horse to Xuanjingsi.
Zeng An didn't hesitate and ran straight to his father's room.
No one stopped him and he came in smoothly.
Dad was handling official business in the room at this time.
"Squeak~"
After the room door was closed.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and looked at his father:
"Dad, what I'm about to say may shock you, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Zeng Shilin's hand paused slightly.
He looked up at his son, who was sitting upright, and nodded calmly.
"Go ahead."
Zeng Anmin pondered for a while and said seriously:
"Do you still remember my classmates at the Water Governor's College, Zhang Lun and Zhang Tongyu?"
Dad frowned slightly and nodded:
"I remember, what's wrong?"
Zeng Anmin then told his guesses bit by bit.
But he didn't mention anything about Prince Jiang.
I'm just talking about this as the second possibility.
He didn't even mention that he guessed that An Shiyi was a demon.
Zeng Anmin paid attention to his father's expression, his face serious:
"So, it's very likely that the courtesan Shiyi has a close relationship with Prince Jiang's Mansion!!"
"An Shiyi."
Dad had a blank expression on his face, then glanced at the corner aside calmly:
"You mean her?"
???
Zeng Anmin subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the corner.
Then he saw the courtesan of the Music Bureau, An Shiyi, with a pale face, curled up there.
Her whole body was trembling, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
ah? !
this……
Now it was Zeng Anmin's turn to be confused.
He blinked blankly and looked at his father.
"Wang Deli is dead, killed by the demon clan."
The old man met his son's confused gaze and said in a deep voice:
"How could my father not sense the evil spirit lingering in that prison? Following this evil spirit, we can find the way to the Jiaofangsi..."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at An Shiyi who was curled up in the corner:
"I don't know how it hides its evil aura on a daily basis."
"You suspected her early on?!"
Zeng Anmin instantly caught the hidden meaning in his father's words.
"I suspected it, but I never thought she was a demon."
The old man slowly looked at Zeng Anmin and said, "There is a secret agent for my father in the Prince Jiang's Mansion. We found out that Prince Jiang had contact with him a few years ago."
"So the last time you went to the Jiaofangsi, were you testing me?"
Only at this moment did a look of realization flash across Zeng Anmin's face.
But the old man did not answer, he just looked into Zeng Anmin's eyes with a deep gaze:
"I heard from Dachun that you were also at the Jiaofangsi last night?"
this……
