Chapter 103 Dad’s power can be strengthened again!
Zeng Anmin walked towards the exposed hole without any hesitation.
He reached out and poked inside.
He reached out and touched a stack of paper-like things.
"Whoosh!"
He directly packed everything inside and took it out.
Seeing this stack of letters, Zeng Anmin's eyes narrowed slightly.
……
Outside the hospital, Bai Ziqing looked forward expressionlessly.
An extremely feminine figure appeared in front of him.
The figure was white and beardless, with rouge and powder on his face, and dense stubble could be seen faintly on his face.
His buttocks twitched in response to his movements.
Extremely disgusting.
"Chi Bufan?"
Bai Ziqing's face was expressionless and his voice was calm.
"Hey, Bai Tisi, why are you guarding the yard here?"
Chi Bufan had a charming smile on his face, raised his chin, and looked at Bai Ziqing.
This sound makes people feel heartbroken.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Ziqing looked at the other party calmly.
"Why can't I come? It's clearly written in the paperwork. You and I will help search the house together. I'll come over to see if your people are slacking off."
The smile on Chi Bufan's face did not diminish. He looked towards the yard, walked around Bai Ziqing's body, and continued walking.
"Get out!"
Bai Ziqing was quite impatient.
"Haha, why are you so anxious to get angry?" Chi Bufan raised his eyebrows, and the charm on his face became even stronger.
With that said, he walked a lot further into the courtyard.
The sound of footsteps could be faintly heard by Zeng Anmin.
"I told you to get out." Bai Ziqing slowly walked towards Chi Bufan.
"What? Do you want to take action? Are you fighting within the imperial city? Come and fight like this, quickly."
There was no fear on Chi Bufan's face, and he continued to look at Bai Ziqing in his eyes:
"Beat me to death. After beating me to death, you will be safe from now on."
There was even a hint of expectation in his charming smile.
Bai Ziqing's hand was clenched, but he didn't make a move.
"Haha."
Chi Bufan smiled lightly and glanced at the side of the ancestral hall: "Bentis came to pay homage to Taizu."
After saying that, he walked towards the ancestral hall, his fat butt still twisting and turning.
After approaching, he suddenly paused.
In the ancestral hall in front of you.
A figure was kneeling respectfully on the futon, clasping his hands in front of the tablet on the table.
Zeng Anmin slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Chi Bufan.
Uh...
His throat rolled.
This guy...why does he look so disgusting?
"Who are you?"
After Chi Bufan's eyes fell on Zeng Anmin's face, his rather big eyes lit up slightly:
"Why haven't you seen Xiao Langjun?"
"I am the accountant hired by Bai Tisi."
Zeng Anmin stood up slowly, moved his body out, and asked: "Do you want to worship Taizu?"
"Ha." The smile on Chi Bufan's face was strong, shyness flashed in his eyes, and he saluted Zeng Anmin:
"The young man is so polite, but it seems that I am ungrateful."
After speaking, he knelt directly on the futon without hesitation.
As he approached, Zeng Anmin smelled a scent that made his stomach churn.
This fragrance is like countless rouges and gouache mixed together, plus the smell of urine...
This smell is so irritating to the eyes!
"Well, I'll leave first"
After Zeng Anmin nodded to him, he slowly evacuated.
But he learned a lesson, weakened his footsteps, stood at the door and listened for a while.
Not long after, he heard a "click" sound.
The sound was undetectable.
But extremely familiar.
That was the sound of the secret compartment being opened! !
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There is something wrong with this Chi Bufan."
Chi Bufan obviously came here for the secret grid! !
So...who is Chi Bufan?
There are all kinds of doubts in my heart.
Zeng Anmin didn't say anything and just came to the yard.
Bai Ziqing looked at him eagerly.
And cast a puzzled look.
Meet Bai Ziqing's eyes.
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly and said it was okay.
Bai Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Zeng Anmin.
……
What followed was a long day of busy work at Prince Qi's Mansion.
Bai Ziqing is really used as a cashier.
"Come."
Bai Ziqing handed Zeng Anmin an abacus.
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows: "Why do you give me this?"
"Settling accounts." Bai Ziqing glanced at him and said:
"What else?"
"Haha." Zeng Anmin shook his head with a smile, put it aside and said, "No need, just tell me the number, I can do it."
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin suspiciously: "Are you proficient in arithmetic?"
Zeng Anmin simply handed him the abacus, closed his eyes and said, "You ask the questions, I will answer them, and then you will do the math to see if I am right."
Bai Ziqing asked four or five questions in a row.
Zeng Anmin answered instantly.
On the road of Confucianism and Taoism, after opening the Zifu, his memory and logical reasoning have improved a lot.
Bai Ziqing didn't believe in evil and wanted to ask another question.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Zeng Anmin rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Uh..."
Bai Ziqing no longer hesitated and quickly dictated, holding the account book.
The two began to get busy.
During this period, Chi Bufan also came out of the ancestral hall and greeted Zeng Anmin.
"Young Master, if you have time, you can come and play with me in Chi Bufan's room in the Imperial City."
When saying this, Chi Bufan winked at Zeng Anmin, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
After saying that, he smiled coquettishly, twisted his butt and left.
Seeing this, Zeng Anmin felt a chill.
Shivering and cold.
To be teased by such a person.
Want to hit someone.
But Zeng Anmin still held back.
After seizing the time to settle the accounts, he said goodbye to Bai Ziqing.
"Then I'll leave first."
Zeng Anmin smiled and waved to Bai Ziqing.
Then he headed home.
……
It's late at night.
Zeng Anmin took out a stack of letters from the preparation space by candlelight.
Check each letter one by one.
The most common one is King Qi's relationship with an unknown woman.
The reason why I guessed it was a woman was because the handwriting on the letter was extremely small and had a trickling feel to it.
But this woman's tone was extremely domineering.
Although there are not many letters, the amount of information is huge.
One name was mentioned many times in the letter: Liangyou Chamber of Commerce.
And the president of Liangyou Chamber of Commerce: Liu Sanjiang.
He checked each letter one after another, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.
At least three important figures in the court were involved.
The most eye-catching thing is: Ren Weizhi, the Minister of Household Affairs!
Minister of Household Affairs...Liangyou Chamber of Commerce...
Minister of the Ministry of Finance...
Letters are all sent in the form of secret letters.
So my words are concise and to the point. Not detailed, but just from the tip of the iceberg, many problems can be seen.
"A year ago, there was a drought in the north. Through Ren Wei, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Liu Sanjiang, the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce, the imperial court paid 10 million taels for disaster relief..."
"Two years ago, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and eight million taels of ink were stolen..."
Zeng Anmin analyzed the information in the letter bit by bit, his heart beating extremely hard.
Until his eyes fell on the last letter.
"Coerce and lure Lou Yingqi. If he doesn't comply, get rid of him."
The note contained only twelve words.
But these twelve words are extremely eye-catching.
Lou Yingqi!
Who is Lou Yingqi? !
Zeng Anmin's eyes shone with an extremely solemn light.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
He was a senior member of the third rank of the Minister of Household Affairs at the time!
A serious official in Beijing!
If you don't follow it, get rid of it?
What a loud tone! !
Following this clue, a closed-loop case slowly emerged in Zeng Anmin's mind.
This mysterious woman.
There is also the Minister of Household Affairs who serves as him.
And King Qi.
In recent years, through the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, he has been greedy for money and money.
He was caught by the tail by Lou Yingqi, the minister of household affairs.
Maybe they are a community of interests, but for some reason, they are now at loggerheads.
Of course, it is also possible that Lou Yingqi will not obey
So, get rid of him.
Then this Lou Yingqi, the Minister of Household Affairs...
A picture suddenly appeared in Zeng Anmin's mind.
Before searching the house today, he saw a few words in the document in Bai Ziqing's hand on Bai Ziqing's desk.
Lou Tong, the son of the Minister of Household Affairs, was poisoned!
Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin's heart beat unsatisfactorily.
This case is now being investigated by Bai Ziqing.
About five days ago, I saw King Qi warning Bai Ziqing at the gate of the Imperial City Division.
At that time, it was said that there were only seven days left in the case.
In other words, there are still two days left.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely dark, and his voice murmured:
"My father has just entered the court, and his foundation is still lacking. If I can get him a minister of household affairs who is a third-rank official..."
Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled.
"The road to court will be much easier for Dad after that..."
"The more powerful dad is, the safer and more comfortable I will be."
My thoughts have progressed to this point.
Zeng Anmin slowly looked out the window: "Then the next step is to investigate one thing first."
"Who is the woman who wrote these letters to King Qi."
"Liangyou Chamber of Commerce...Liu Sanjiang."
"Wait!" Zeng Anmin suddenly paused and stood up suddenly as if he remembered something.
"The mysterious man who killed King Qi that night."
"Could it be that this woman was sent because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed?"
"And the disgusting gay man in the ancestral hall of Prince Qi today... is probably affiliated with this woman..."
Countless thoughts came to mind at once.
He wanted to stand up and go to his father's house.
But suddenly I remembered that my father spent the night in Shangshu Province and did not come back.
I kept this thought in my heart first.
Lying on the bed, Zeng Anmin couldn't sleep.
Searched around.
Still haven't found any clues about Xihuang Tu.
Although this is not good news, it is not bad news either.
Now he thinks there are two possibilities.
First, King Qi had never come into contact with the Xihuang Picture at all, and he did not even know what the Xihuang Picture was.
Because Zeng Anmin himself knew the reason why King Qi died.
To the greatest extent, it was because of my own frame-up.
But in this case, who really obtained the Emperor Xi's picture from Uncle Zhongyuan's mansion?
Zeng Anmin closed his eyes.
"Hoo!"
It suddenly opened again.
In the darkness, his eyes flickered with suspicion.
Could it be that the Xihuang Picture was never lost? ?
Because of Uncle Zhongyuan’s Mansion, someone was finally saved by Dad! !
And that person... is his cousin! !
Of course, this is only a possibility.
But the possibility is not low.
…………
The next day.
Zeng Anmin got up early and just walked out of the door.
He then saw Bai Ziqing shivering in the wind.
"Uh...Brother Bai, why are you here?"
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows.
This time, he didn't see stubbornness on Bai Ziqing's face.
Some of them just looked melancholy and haggard.
"Ahem." Bai Ziqing's face turned a little red, and his eyes were evasive.
"Um...brother Quan Fu, I may need your help with a case..."
Zeng Anmin almost laughed out loud.
No, you continue to be tough!
Why doesn't this work? !
"Oh? I guess it's that case?" Zeng Anmin suppressed the smile in his heart.
He looked at Bai Ziqing seriously.
"No, how could it be? I have already solved that case."
Bai Ziqing retorted subconsciously. When he said this, he glanced aside:
"It's another one."
Tsk tsk.
Zeng Anmin grinned silently.
My big brother Bai, I haven’t even asked which one it is!
"He is worthy of being the number one swordsman in the capital. He is really smart and can solve major cases so quickly."
Zeng Anmin gave a thumbs up in praise.
He didn't bother to expose it.
See through it or not, but we are still good friends.
"Ahem."
Bai Ziqing came to Zeng Anmin's side, held his horse for him, and said as he walked:
"This case is more complicated..."
"It has something to do with Lou, the Minister of Household Affairs at that time."
"Eight days ago, Lou Tong, the son of the minister, was poisoned."
"Eight days ago?" Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows at Bai Ziqing:
"It's quite a coincidence that it's close to the case you solved."
"Uh." Bai Ziqing's face was stiff, and he laughed dryly: "It's really a coincidence, let's not talk about it anymore."
He continued: "The doctor stated that the poison in Lou Tong was the venom of the green-bellied snake, and the only antidote was the gallbladder of the green-bellied snake."
At this point, he frowned tightly: "But the green-bellied snakes had been killed almost to extinction during the Yinwu Demon Extermination War seven years ago."
"It is impossible for our Great Holy Dynasty to find this poison."
Zeng Anmin thought of a loophole, he interrupted Bai Ziqing and asked with a frown:
"Can snake venom be preserved?"
"Yes, but it's difficult." Bai Ziqing nodded first, then shook his head and said:
"I also thought about using this as a breakthrough, but later I learned that it is extremely difficult to preserve this poison. It needs to be cultivated with spiritual power, but spiritual stones are extremely expensive."
"If you want to preserve it from seven years ago to now...the cost of preservation alone will cost tens of millions of taels...and this is even if you can buy a steady stream of spiritual stones."
"Too much trouble and thankless."
Bai Ziqing rubbed his swollen head.
"Is it possible that the poisoner has been waiting for today?" Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed and he murmured to himself.
He had seen the contents of the secret message.
If King Yiqi, the mysterious woman, and the current Minister of Rites work together...
It does have this strength.
"What?" Bai Ziqing raised his head blankly.
Zeng Anmin slowly shook his head and said: "Let's go to the Vice Minister's Mansion first."
What he wants to do now is to meet the Minister of Household Affairs first.
If there is a chance to win over, dad's power will be stronger.
"Let's go."
The two of them walked outside the gate together.
Then they both got on their horses and headed towards the residence of the Minister of Household Affairs.
