Chapter 195 Call me Liu Haitang!!
After hearing Bai Ziqing's words, Wang Haiyan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, suddenly looked towards Zeng Anmin.
There was a hint of amazement in his eyes.
After a long time.
He sighed deeply, "You truly live up to the name Zeng Sance! County Master Zeng's reasoning is a true understanding of human nature. I admire you!"
After saying this, he slowly began to think about something.
Could it be that Bai Ziqing always asked Zeng Sance to solve cases in the past?
Ren was in charge of the construction of the Jishui Weir.
The Huang Yuangao case...
The more Wang Haiyan thought about it, the more he felt that what he was thinking made sense.
He looked calmly at Bai Ziqing, who was spitting saliva.
Bai Ziqing's eyes are clear, he doesn't look like someone who can solve a case with his brain...
He slowly came to understand.
A crude warrior...it turns out I was wrong in the past...
"No, no, it's just that this concerns the Qin Mansion, so naturally I have to do more."
Zeng Anmin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked towards Qin Wanyue.
Qin Wanyue pursed her lips and lowered her head, with a hint of smile on the corner of her mouth.
"The Imperial College is a little too small after all. I wonder if County Master Zeng would be willing to come to my Dali Temple?"
Wang Haiyan looked at Zeng Anmin with burning eyes:
"I will definitely petition His Majesty. If County Master Zeng is willing to serve in the Dali Temple, he will be promoted to the fifth rank or higher within five years!"
Fifth grade?
Tsk.
What a high-ranking official.
Zeng Anmin suppressed his disgust.
There was seriousness in his eyes:
"Quan Fu will certainly consider Wang Shaoqing's invitation carefully, but now that the Autumn Examination is approaching, I still want to use all my preparations for the imperial examination."
"It was my fault for not considering it well." Wang Haiyan looked regretful.
Several people were chatting happily.
Then a figure came out of the house angrily.
"Bai Ziqing is not at Duan Yuanpei's house at all!"
It turned out that Liu Dongdong had returned.
"What a Bai Ziqing!"
"How dare you deceive Miss Qin."
"He claimed to be investigating the case, but in reality, he's nowhere to be found. This has delayed the investigation. I will definitely report him to His Majesty!"
Having said that, he returned to the courtyard with the people from the Ministry of Justice.
But when he looked at everyone in the yard.
And the Eastern Religious spy on the ground whose chest was slightly rising and falling.
His face froze for a moment.
"Bai...Bai Tidu?"
Bai Ziqing looked at Liu Dongdong's expression with displeasure between his brows:
"What do you mean, Master Liu?"
"This is……"
Liu Dongdong's gaze fell on the spy on the ground.
Everything in the yard seemed weird to him.
"This is the Eastern Religion spy that Bentidu captured!"
Bai Ziqing looked at him unkindly. "Duan Yuanpei colluded with Jiang State spies to steal the Qin Mansion's "The Handwritten Letters of the Confucian Sage" by concealing the truth from the public. I... ahem, this lord figured it out."
He pointed at Zeng Anmin.
"Why? How does Lord Liu intend to report me to His Majesty?"
After he finished speaking, his expression turned cold.
"this……"
After hearing this, Liu Dongdong looked at his old rival Wang Haiyan with a confused look on his face.
Wang Haiyan said nothing, just looked at him mischievously, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Zeng Anmin.
Liu Dongdong keenly captured this signal.
He hurriedly looked at Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin just blinked at him innocently:
"Didn't I just tell you that Bai Ziqing went to catch the thief?"
"Well……"
this……
Minister Liu's brain had already crashed at this moment.
It took him a while to react.
Bai Ziqing just said that the conspiracy was uncovered by this person in front of him?!
Then he looked straight at Zeng Anmin in front of him.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on the Imperial College clothes on Zeng Anmin.
"Excuse me...are you from the Imperial College..."
Zeng Anmin chuckled, bowed slowly to Liu Dongdong and said:
"I am Zeng Anmin, Chief Clerk of the Imperial College. I am honored to meet Minister Liu."
"Hiss~"
“It’s actually Zeng Xianzi!!”
Liu Dongdong's pupils suddenly contracted.
Then, he understood all the details in an instant.
He looked at Wang Haiyan fiercely:
"Mr. Wang, you were in the Qin residence just now. Why didn't you remind me?!"
"You speak too fast. I can't even interrupt you." Wang Haiyan just replied indifferently.
"you!"
Liu Dongdong took a deep breath.
Then he looked at Zeng Anmin with a burning gaze:
"Mr. Zeng, the position of Chief Clerk of the Imperial College is a real waste of your talent. How about I recommend you to join the Ministry of Justice?"
"I guarantee that within three years, you will be able to hold at least a fifth-rank position in the Ministry of Justice!"
…
The corner of Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
What this old guy said was exactly the same as what Wang Haiyan said just now.
It's just that time is a little faster.
"Old bastard! County Master Zeng is busy with the imperial examinations right now, so please don't mislead the young people."
When Wang Haiyan heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore.
He had already guessed that the reason behind Bai Ziqing solving the case was actually because of Zeng Anmin.
Of course, he also knew that Zeng Anmin was as powerful as a god in solving cases!
If such a person were put into the Ministry of Justice.
Then, when Liu Dongda sees me in the future, won’t he shit on my head?
"really."
Zeng Anmin smiled and said to Liu Dongdong, "I appreciate Minister Liu's kindness, but let's put this job application on hold for now."
"Now I am devoted to my studies, and my main focus is on the imperial examinations."
"Alright, it's me who's being abrupt."
Liu Dongdong looked at Zeng Anmin with regret.
"Don't listen to them. Go see the spy. It would be best if we could find out something through questioning."
Bai Ziqing came up to Zeng Anmin and said seriously.
Zeng Anmin then looked at the spy lying on the ground in front of him.
He nodded seriously.
Then he came before the spy.
Just as he was about to use the technique of asking his conscience, he suddenly stopped.
Then, as if remembering something, his eyes turned sharp as he looked at Bai Ziqing and asked:
"Does the Eastern Religion's cultivation system contain any means to defend against Confucianism and Daoism?"
"As far as I know, there is a lock in Confucianism to prevent people from questioning their conscience."
He remembered it clearly when he was in Liangjiang County.
The steward of Prince Jiang's Mansion was put under a conscience lock. As soon as I used the conscience lock on him, his head exploded.
It’s better to be cautious here.
“I’ve never heard of that.”
Bai Ziqing pondered for a moment, his expression becoming serious:
"In that case, I'll just take him to the Imperial City Prison first."
"Please ask the experts from the Xuanzhen Division to come and take a look."
"Well, that's the best. It's always better to be safe."
Zeng Anmin nodded.
…………
Case closed.
The truth is revealed.
Bai Ziqing made another contribution.
During this period, as he solved several cases in succession, his status in the Imperial City Bureau had already subtly overshadowed the other three major ones.
During this period, Ji Qing, the director of the Imperial City Office, was not in the capital.
Bai Ziqing seems to have become the number one person in the Imperial City Bureau.
The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple were also credited with a small merit for assisting Bai Ziqing in solving the case.
After hearing the truth of the case.
Everyone in the officialdom secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this case was a spy from Jiang Guo.
If there really was an official behind Duan Yuanpei, I'm afraid quite a few people would be implicated...
As for the spy who was caught, after the people from Xuanzhensi arrived, they indeed found some means of defense and questioning in him.
But he solved it with a clever method.
But the identity level of this spy should not be high.
No important information was asked.
What happened next had nothing to do with Zeng Anmin.
He still worked as the chief clerk in the Imperial College.
The days go by.
Time has slowly come to August.
August is already autumn.
But the summer heat has not yet faded.
The autumn tiger is staring at everyone walking on the earth.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
today.
A convoy arrived outside the capital city.
The convoy was not very long, with four carriages connected front and back.
Although there were not many horses in front of the guarding carriage, they were two extremely handsome BMWs.
After the BMW, the decorations on the carriages were extremely dazzling.
You can tell at first glance that it is definitely not an ordinary product.
On the back of the carriage, there were three very eye-catching big words: Jin Taiping!
A curtain was slowly lifted in the carriage.
A familiar face appeared.
Shen Jun stared at the gate of the capital in a daze.
Eyes filled with expectation:
"Shen Da, have we arrived in the capital?"
The servant driving the carriage heard this and turned around and replied with a smile:
"Yes, Master. If you enter the city early today, you will be able to see Master Zeng."
"hehe."
When Shen Jun heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
After he enjoyed the delicious food Zeng Anmin gave him.
After more than a year of development.
Now, branches of "Wangxianju" have been opened in all the county towns in the south.
Now only the north is left.
If you want to open up to the north, you can't avoid this majestic city in front of you.
The capital of the Great Holy Dynasty!
He also often communicated with Zeng Anmin through handwritten letters.
Almost every time they contacted each other, he would report how much money he had earned and express his longing for Zeng Anmin.
finally.
Zeng Anmin agreed in his last letter to let him develop in Beijing.
After receiving the letter, Shen Jun was extremely happy!
Without thinking twice, he packed his bags and headed towards the capital.
"Let's go into the city!"
The thought of meeting Zeng Anmin soon.
Shen Jun was extremely looking forward to it.
He urged the driver in front of him.
"Okay!"
The coachman smiled knowingly, drove the carriage towards the capital.
…………
"Excuse me, sir. I'm here to look for a student named Zeng Anmin. Please let me know that my old friend Mr. Shen is here to visit."
Mr. Shen remembered that in the letter, Brother Quan Fu said that he was in the Imperial College.
Therefore, when he entered the capital, he asked his housekeeper to buy a new mansion first.
He couldn't wait to come to the legendary Imperial College.
The gate of the Imperial College is very high.
The doorman had nothing to do during the day, and in the hot weather, he just lay on the chair.
After the gatekeeper of the Imperial College heard his voice.
She raised her head and looked at him calmly:
"Zeng Anmin? Still a student?"
He glanced at Shen Jun with a sneer.
Too lazy to bother with him, he turned over and said:
"Master Xiao Zeng is busy seeing guests. Please go back to where you came from."
Shen Jun was not angry after hearing this.
He has been doing business for a long time and knows that it is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little ghosts.
He smiled and took out a bag of jingling purses from his sleeve.
He calmly placed it in the doorman's hands:
"Please do me a favor. Young Master Zeng and I are old acquaintances."
only……
The concierge looked at him coldly.
He threw the heavy purse in his hand to the ground with a "bang".
There was a sound of landing.
"He comes to look for Master Zeng's 'old friend' every day, Bu Fanji, and uses such despicable means. It's really disgusting. Get out now!"
"Don't disturb my rest."
After saying that, the doorman turned over on the recliner, too lazy to pay any more attention to Shen Jun.
"this……"
Shen Jun was stunned.
Seeing that a mere gatekeeper of the Imperial College could resist the temptation of money, he was not angry at all. Instead, he felt a touch of admiration for the Imperial College as a department.
"It's worthy of being the Imperial College."
He took a deep breath, then slowly bent down, picked up the purse, dusted it off, and put it around his waist.
Then he turned and headed towards the shade of the trees.
The concierge on the recliner glanced at his back calmly.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth again:
"You didn't even know that Master Zeng had been made a county magistrate, and you still said he was an old friend..."
As he spoke, his eyes turned to the bigger, bulging pouch below his waist, and then he grinned:
"Young Master Liu Xian is still very generous!"
"It was clearly my duty to protect Lord Zeng from those who came to visit me, and yet I gave him such a generous gift."
Having said this, his face was extremely determined.
He will do his best to block these visitors for Master Zeng!
Shen Jun stood in the shade of the trees, waiting patiently.
finally.
He saw a student wearing the clothes of the Imperial College.
It’s just that this student’s appearance looks…
Shen Jun frowned slightly.
This person does have a good face.
It’s just that the red crabapple flower on her head is a bit too exaggerated.
"This brother."
Shen Jun slowly walked out from under the shade of the tree, blocked the student's way, bowed to him and said:
"I wonder if you know Zeng Anmin, Master Zeng?"
When Liu Xian heard the unfamiliar voice, he frowned and stopped.
He looked at the stranger in front of him and asked:
"Who are you?"
Mr. Shen has been doing business for a long time. Although his ability to judge people is not top-notch, he does have some knowledge of it.
He could naturally see that the man in front of him did not shake his head directly, so he must have known him.
"My name is Mr. Shen, and I'm an old friend of Young Master Zeng. Could you please tell Young Master Zeng that Mr. Shen is here to visit and ask if he could come out and chat with me?"
Mr. Shen is very knowledgeable about etiquette and laws in his actions.
He always controlled his tone when speaking and tried to show kindness to others.
After hearing his words, Liu Xian's body suddenly stopped.
Then he looked him up and down in disbelief.
"Uh..." Shen Jun was a little confused.
"You are Mr. Shen? Mr. Shen from Jin Taiping?!"
Liu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at the young man in front of him who was about his age.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt extremely close to him.
"Oh? Do you recognize me?"
When Shen Jun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I didn’t expect to meet someone who knows me here!
"Of course I know you. Brother Quan Fu often mentions you to me, saying that you are very sentimental despite your young age and that you behave in a very decent manner, which makes people like you."
"I have long been fascinated by you, and I look forward to seeing you every day!"
Shen Jun was a little confused.
Am I...that good?
How come I don’t know this myself?
"Um, my name is Liu Xian, and my courtesy name is Fengnian!"
"Everyone calls me Liu Haitang."
"Come on, follow me to see Brother Quan Fu!"
