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

Chapter 367 The Imperial City Guard's Luxurious Private Room

"Can you tell me?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing and asked.

"What?" Bai Ziqing's eyelids twitched slightly.

Zeng Anmin's expression was somber: "The Bai family is the most powerful family in the world today, apart from the royal family."

"Even if they are from collateral branches of a family, they would not stoop to doing the lowest of professions."

"Unless there's some unknown reason."

Zeng Anmin slowly looked down at Bai Ziqing, his voice filled with certainty.

He pushed all the stacks of files on the table aside.

I feel like I don't need to look at these things anymore.

Find Bai Zihua, use Confucian and Taoist methods to examine your heart, and you can find out everything.

Now, the main thing to do is to see what Bai Ziqing's attitude is.

He stared blankly at Bai Ziqing, carefully observing his reaction.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ziqing's lips twitched slightly, then he rolled his eyes.

"This case is now airtight."

"Bai Zihua confessed to all the crimes he committed."

"I've also been secretly investigating the direct descendants of the Bai family these past two days."

"No one is connected to this case."

"So what you're saying about covering it up is pure nonsense."

"Is that so?" Zeng Anmin continued to scrutinize Bai Ziqing carefully.

He couldn't detect any sign of lying on Bai Ziqing's face.

This only deepened his doubts.

Could it be that Bai Zihua's human trafficking case was really just a coincidence?

Zeng Anmin, in any case, did not believe it.

"Walk."

Without further hesitation, he got up and walked outside.

"where to?"

Bai Ziqing was taken aback.

"Where is Bai Zihua imprisoned?" Zeng Anmin turned to look at Bai Ziqing.

"The Imperial City Guard's Prison."

"Then let's go to the Imperial Prison."

…………

Dark and damp.

An unnamed insect, a huge spider.

Spiderwebs in the corner, and feeble groans.

The stench was overwhelming, and there was an atmosphere of despair.

This is the Imperial Prison of the Imperial City Guard.

In the Great Holy Dynasty, there is a saying that everyone knows.

Once imprisoned in the Imperial City Guard, even a god cannot save you.

They were taken into the imperial prison.

Wherever Zeng Anmin looked, all he saw were despairing, blank stares.

He didn't have much pity for it.

You can say that the Imperial Guards are useless.

But you can never say that those who enter the Imperial City Guard are innocent.

Everyone who gets imprisoned here has definitely committed a crime.

Because the Imperial City Guard's prison requires each prisoner to undergo a rigorous trial by the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Imperial City Guard before they are qualified to enter.

"Where?"

Zeng Anmin glanced at Bai Ziqing.

Bai Ziqing took a deep breath and pointed to a corner in front of him.

"Oh, no wonder he's a member of the royal family, even in prison he's in a single cell."

Zeng Anmin teased Bai Ziqing, "How about this, you admit to killing Xiang Wangxian, and when you go to jail, I can use my position to get you a top-class room."

"Get out." Bai Ziqing's face flushed with anger. "I didn't kill him!"

"Okay, okay, it's not you, it's me, alright?"

Zeng Anmin chuckled, then pulled Bai Ziqing to the front and stopped.

He glanced at the people in the cell.

The man looked to be around forty years old.

Sitting deep inside the cell, he exuded an aura of death.

He ignored even when Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing came over.

"Bai Zihua".

Zeng Anmin coughed lightly and called out to the person inside.

"Wow~"

The shackles on Bai Zihua's feet moved slightly.

Then it drooped down limply.

He just looked up and glanced at it.

When he saw Bai Ziqing, his lips parted as if to say something, but then he closed them weakly. "Didn't you get any food?"

Zeng Anmin glanced at Bai Ziqing.

As long as the person isn't dead, that's fine.

"He refuses to eat; he insists on a hunger strike."

Bai Ziqing said helplessly, "But there is a clear rule that prisoners cannot die before their execution. We can only feed them some porridge every day to keep them alive."

"Open the cell door."

Zeng Anmin commanded Bai Ziqing.

"Why do I always feel like a servant when I'm with you?" Bai Ziqing muttered as he pulled a key from his waist and inserted it into the lock.

"Click."

As the lock was opened, Bai Ziqing gently pushed open the cell door.

"come in."

The stench in the cell was somewhat unbearable.

But neither Bai Ziqing nor Zeng Anmin showed any abnormalities.

He looked at Bai Zihua, who was slumped over there, with a calm expression.

"Go outside and keep an eye on people for me. I have some questions for him."

Zeng Anmin gave Bai Ziqing a deep look.

Bai Ziqing naturally knew what Zeng Anmin wanted to do.

He rolled his eyes: "You can't face the royal family with a clear conscience."

"Although he is only from a collateral branch of the family, he can be considered a member of the imperial family if you really want to talk about it."

“I definitely won’t tell anyone, but if this gets out, I’m afraid a bunch of people will criticize you.”

"Then don't worry about it."

A faint bluish light shone in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

His voice echoed softly:
"Bai Zihua, do you still remember me?"

Hear his voice.

Bai Zihua, who was slumped over, trembled at first, then slowly raised his head in disbelief.

When his gaze fell upon Zeng Anmin, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"You...you...you're not dead yet??"

Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

It seems that what I've been thinking about these past two days has indeed been somewhat useful.

That's right, this is a move he devised after obtaining the essence of the illusory demon lord.

He named this skill "Illusory Eye".

It involves creating illusions for the enemy through their eyes.

Now, in Bai Zihua's eyes, Zeng Anmin was clearly wearing Xiang Wangxian's face!

"Luckily, I had met Xiang Wangxian before."

Zeng Anmin sighed inwardly.

He then looked at Bai Zihua and said in a low voice:

"It's not that I didn't die, it's that you died. This is the underworld!"

As he spoke those words.

Bai Zihua looked up blankly.

Zeng Anmin manipulates the illusory power within his body.

In Bai Zihua's eyes, this place was eerie and a scene of carnage.

A few ghosts were pulling out tongues not far away...

He was so scared that he was trembling all over.

"Ah...ah..."

"Bai Zihua, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have died..."

His voice imitation was quite accurate.

The damp and gloomy environment had a somewhat eerie feel to it.

"No...it wasn't me...don't look for me..."

Bai Zihua stared blankly at Zeng Anmin, his eyes already turning black with fear.

He curled up helplessly backward, the chains on his feet rattling as he moved them.

"Xiang Wangxian, my abduction of your nephew was just a misunderstanding!"

His voice already had a sob in it.

"Misunderstand?"

Zeng Anmin's voice was chilling: "Then give him back to me..."

“He… I never saw him again after I traded him… I was just a nobody…”

Bai Zihua looked at Zeng Anmin with trembling eyes.

Henchman?

Upon hearing these words, Zeng Anmin's heart sank slightly.

Although it was only a few short sentences.

But in his mind, Bai Ziqing's suspicion had completely disappeared.

Even the direct descendants of the Bai family will not be involved in this case.

Because Bai Zihua's words just now made it very clear.
