My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 308 Gifts for the Three Girls

Zeng Anmin looked intently at the squad of Red-Clad Guards.

"Hmph! The Governor-General has ordered that anyone from Jiang State who sneaks into Liangjiang County must be arrested and imprisoned!"

The red-clad guard stared coldly at Zeng Anmin and said:

"If you have something to say, go talk to the governor."

"stop!!"

Bai Ziqing suddenly walked towards this place from the side of the street.

When he saw this, his face turned green.

"Who gave you permission to arrest people?!"

"Chirp!"

His figure had already arrived in front of the captain of the red-clad guards, his face revealing a deep indifference.

"And who are you?!" The captain of the Red-Clad Guard exclaimed upon seeing Bai Ziqing's skill.

A solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Snapped!"

Bai Ziqing didn't waste any words.
He took out a gold medal from his waist.

That was the token of the Northern Supervisor of the Imperial City Guard.

They threw the token directly at his face.

"Bai Ziqing, the Northern Commander of the Imperial City Division of the Great Sage Dynasty".

"I was ordered to go to the Jiang Kingdom on a diplomatic mission, and I am now on my way back."

Bai Ziqing's voice came coldly.

"Thump~"

The captain of the Red-Clad Guard was stunned.

His hand stopped abruptly after catching the token.

Standing there, it was awkward to walk or sit.

“This… sir.”

Fortunately, his reaction was quite good; his face immediately showed an extremely ingratiating expression.
"He and I……"

He suddenly raised his head and stared at the shopkeeper with an extremely gloomy expression.

"He fabricated the case details! It has nothing to do with me..."

"roll!"

Bai Ziqing simply stared at him coldly for a moment.

"Yes!" The red-clad guard hurriedly prepared to withdraw.

"and many more!"

Bai Ziqing spoke again.

"My lord?" The red-clad guard captain looked at Bai Ziqing, puzzled.

"Take this and send it to the Governor's Mansion, so that he can come to see me in person."

Bai Ziqing placed the token in his hand into his.

"what!!"

The red-clad guard's face turned pale instantly.

"Get out of here!"

"Yes……"

…………

After the pair of red-clad guards left.

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and looked at Bai Ziqing, asking:
"You see it too?"

"What did you see?"

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin with a blank expression.

?

Zeng Anmin frowned:
"Don't you think it's a bit strange that the Governor of Fengqi Road has issued this order to arrest Jiang Guo's spies?"

"Really?" Bai Ziqing's face grew increasingly blank.
"Isn't this how it should be?"

Zeng Anmin's lips twitched slightly.

He rolled his eyes and asked:

"Then why did you just give your badge to that fellow and have the governor come to see you?"

"Oh!" Bai Ziqing smiled and said, "You mean this?"

“When our delegation returned to the capital, we had to make a record with the local government in each prefecture we passed through. I was too lazy to make another trip to the Xuanjing Bureau, so I had him come to see me.”

Zeng Anmin's lips twitched.

have to.

I thought you had finally made progress.

I can't be bothered with you.

Zeng Anmin rolled his eyes.

Let's see what the new governor is up to when he arrives.

He had a vague feeling in his heart.

This matter is inseparable from the case of Huang Yuangao's death.

He turned around and walked back towards the shop.

"Wrap this jade bracelet up for me."

Zeng Anmin looked toward the trembling shopkeeper beside him.

"Okay...Ok..."

The shopkeeper was deathly pale as he carefully wrapped the jade bracelet.

"The jade bracelet you requested."

"Well, how much?"

Zeng Anmin looked up at the shopkeeper and asked, "No...no money needed." The shopkeeper gave a very awkward smile.
"Sir, you've come to the right place today. Everyone who comes to our shop today... will not be charged."

"Wow! You're pretty good at this!"

Zeng Anmin grinned upon hearing this explanation:
"Alright, then I won't bother you anymore."

As he spoke, he put the jade bracelet into his preparation space.

Then they headed outside.

Watching Zeng Anmin's departing figure.

The shopkeeper breathed a huge sigh of relief.

His face showed an expression of relief at surviving a disaster.

"Damn it... what a terrible thing!"

…………

Where are you going again?

Bai Ziqing watched as Zeng Anmin came out of the shop, not even glancing at him, and walked outside. He asked in bewilderment.

"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well pick out another item."

Zeng Anmin glanced at him: "The new governor will probably be here a while."

As he spoke, he entered a study.

"Shopkeeper, get me a piece of paper. I want to write a poem."

"Good!" The shopkeeper had seen everything that had just happened.

They dared not neglect Zeng Anmin in the slightest.

Zeng Anmin was too lazy to say much, and simply picked up his pen and started writing on the paper.

"Red beans grow in the south."

"How many branches will sprout in spring?"

"May you have many joys and sorrows."

"This is the most poignant symbol of longing."

After he finished writing the poem, his face was full of satisfaction.

He picked up the paper.

Then he frowned, feeling that something was missing.

Do you have red beans?

"Yes! Please wait a moment!"

The shopkeeper only regretted that his parents hadn't given him two more legs.

"Tengteng" took a few steps and walked outside.

Before long, he came panting as he carried a sack of red beans from the kitchen to Zeng Anmin.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zeng Anmin's lips twitched uncontrollably.

He was too lazy to say much.

He pulled a small handful out of the sack.

Then he found an envelope, carefully folded the red beans and the poem he had written, and put it into his bosom.

Only after doing all this did he leave with great satisfaction.

"The pastries are for Miss Sai."

"The jade bracelet is for Sister Qin."

"This poem is for the Princess."

He was silently making plans in his mind.

He went to the Jiang Kingdom and secretly pledged his love to the Empress.

He always felt a sense of guilt.

I don't know where this sense of guilt came from.

It just appeared out of nowhere.

Only after he had finished doing all of this did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

After going downstairs.

Zeng Anmin looked ahead.

Then a caravan of carriages came hurrying along the street.

The carriage looked extremely luxurious at first glance.

The more Zeng Anmin looked at the carriage, the more familiar it seemed.

"Isn't this the carriage my father rode in when he was governor?"

"When did the officials of the Great Holy Dynasty become so frugal?"

An old man got off the carriage and walked towards them without stopping.

As he walked, he shouted, "Governor-General Lou Yingqi of Fengqi Road is here! Where is Lord Bai?!"

Lou Yingqi?
A name that is quite familiar.

Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

He looked up sharply.

His gaze turned toward the old man.

Isn't he one of Old Man Jiangnan's right-hand men?!

Wasn't he doing a great job as the Minister of Revenue?!
How did you end up becoming the governor of Liangjiang Commandery?!
Could it be... that there's been a change of heart in the court?!

His expression instantly turned serious.

"Uncle Lou!"

Without a second thought, Zeng Anmin took two steps forward and stood in front of Lou Yingqi.

Lou Yingqi stopped abruptly upon hearing the familiar voice.

Then, looking at Zeng Anmin in astonishment:
"Nephew Zeng?!"
