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

Chapter 383 Confiscating the Ji Family Mansion!

Xuanwu Street in Beijing.

A hundred steps west from the street, on the left, stands a massive mansion.

Above the plaque of the mansion, several large, gilded characters were written in a vigorous, flowing style:
Jifu.

The once glorious Ji family mansion now seems to be shrouded in an invisible, enormous shadow.

"Zeng Anmin, the Imperial City Compass Commander, has come to confiscate your property on His Majesty's orders!"

The chilling voice echoed throughout the street like spring thunder.

"Da, da da".

Chaotic footsteps sounded.

A procession of nearly five hundred imperial guards surrounded the entire Ji residence.

Zeng Anmin, surrounded by stars and the moon, rode his large blue horse with a calm expression as he headed towards the Ji residence.

The Ji family's property was confiscated.

This was something Zeng Anmin specifically requested of Bai Ziqing.

Currently, the power of the Imperial City Guard is temporarily under Bai Ziqing's control.

Bai Ziqing naturally offered his full support for any request his younger brother made.

He didn't even ask why Zeng Anmin insisted on confiscating the Ji family's property. With a wave of his hand, he directly affixed the Imperial City Guard's seal to the confiscation documents.

……

Very dramatic.

The home of Ji Qing, the head of the Imperial City Guard, was raided by the Imperial City Guard under his command.

"Open the door."

Zeng Anmin stopped his horse.

He gazed indifferently at the gate ahead.

"Yes!"

Sima Nan and Dongfang Sheng were both supervisors of the Southern Supervisory Office.

After Zeng Anmin thoroughly investigated Xiang Wangxian's case, he completely won over Xiang Wangxian's heart.

Of course, the main reason was Zeng Anmin's father, who was a second-rank sage.

With Zeng Anmin by my side, I won't have to worry about anything in the future.

At this moment, the two men following Zeng Anmin on his left and right exchanged a glance, then stepped forward with sharp eyes.

The two of them were Xiang Wangxian's confidants.

Although they were previously in the Imperial City Guard and under Ji Qing's command.

But neither of them had any feelings for Ji Qing at all.

"Bang!!"

With a wave of Sima Nan's hand.

The red-lacquered gate of the Ji residence couldn't even withstand two blows before it was forcefully blasted open by those iron fists.

Wood chips were scattered all over the ground.

Zeng Anmin raised his eyelids slightly, his expression calm, and walked towards the mansion.

The residence of the Imperial City Supervisor, not to mention its layout, is not much inferior to the Zeng family's Qi State Duke's Mansion in terms of land area alone.

"A warrior is just a warrior."

Zeng Anmin had a cold smile on his face.

He looked at the martial arts arena in front of the mansion, and the various weapons in the arena that exuded a chilling aura.

He dismounted and casually handed the reins to Dongfang Sheng:
"Vulgar and unbearable."

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, both Dongfang Sheng and Sima Nan froze.

Go and go.

You are awesome.

You are a fourth-rank Confucian scholar, and your father is a second-rank sage.

We are all rough and uncouth men.

"I wasn't talking about either of you."

After Zeng Anmin said it, he felt something was off, so he smiled and explained to the two people behind him.

……

Sima Nan and Dongfang Sheng's faces turned a little green.

Young master, you might as well not explain.

"Start working!"

After Zeng Anmin glanced at Sima Nan.

Sima Nan shouted in understanding.

Then, the grape sellers who had rushed in from outside filed in.

They sped towards the depths of the Ji residence's gate.

"Crackling..."

"No...don't touch me!!"

"Help me!!"

"........."

A human tragedy.

For any victim, having their home ransacked is an extremely tragic experience.

All seven hundred-plus people in the Ji household were held back in the front yard.

There were adults, children, beautiful ladies and noblewomen, as well as servants and stewards.

"My lord, what crime have we committed?"

The Ji family's steward stood in the crowd, frowning as he looked at Zeng Anmin.

His expression was completely calm. "What crime have I committed that you do not know?"

Zeng Anmin sneered: "Ji Qing killed an official appointed by the imperial court without authorization and allowed his subordinates to abduct and sell children."

"Your crimes are unforgivable! Today is the day I come to confiscate your property!"

"His Majesty has said that all the servants in the Ji household have been dismissed."

"Men are exiled, and women are forced into the brothels!"

"Do it!"

After saying that, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Yes!"

Sima Nan and Dongfang Sheng unleashed their full power and, with an overwhelming sense of oppression, led their men forward to tie everyone up.

"If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?"

Upon hearing Zeng Anmin's words, the butler's face showed a hint of anger:

"Some people came to the manor to report this matter a few days ago, but I just took it as a joke."

"My master was clearly fighting demons in the northern border, so why would he suddenly appear in the capital and do such a thing?!"

"That's clearly slander!"

……

Seeing them so oblivious to their impending doom.

Zeng Anmin remained expressionless:
"Don't tell me that."

“Go down to the imperial prison and talk to the jailer.”

"Take it!"

……

"Let's see who dares!!"

The butler's eyes widened, and his aura began to gradually become apparent.

The cyan "domain" slowly unfolded.

"Yo?"

Upon seeing this, Zeng Anmin raised an eyebrow slightly: "Only a fourth-rank official?"

After saying that, his expression turned even more sinister:
"To harbor a fourth-rank military officer in one's home without reporting it to the imperial court is an even more serious crime!"

"Take him away! I will report this to the Emperor tomorrow!"

Sima Nan went all out, heading straight for the steward.

"Bang bang bang!"

With each step he took, the ground was slammed into a large crater by the force of his movements.

"You filthy old scoundrel!"

"Take this!"

Sima Nan leaped high into the air, a long blade in his hand radiating a blinding, fiery red light.

"Bang bang bang!"

The aging fourth-rank official was ultimately no match for Sima Nan, who was in his prime.

Furthermore, with people from the Ji family all around, the old steward didn't dare to fight freely.

In the end, Sima Nan held a knife to his throat.

"it is good!"

Zeng Anmin clapped his hands with a smile and looked at Sima Nan, saying:

"Sima Tili defeated the thieves and deserves credit for his meritorious service."

Upon hearing this, Sima Nan's face lit up with barely suppressed joy:

"Zeng Tidu is so grand!"

……

"Are you guilty?"

Zeng Anmin walked forward with a smile, his gaze fixed on the butler.

The butler stood there proudly:

"I still maintain that when someone wants to find fault, they will always find a pretext."

"The head of my Ji family would never do such a thing!"

Zeng Anmin raised an eyebrow slightly, then spoke:
"Sima Nan, bring him out. I have some questions for him."

"Yes!"

Sima Nan looked coldly at the steward: "If you don't want to be caught in the crossfire, then behave yourself!"

The butler remained silent.

He glanced down at the Ji family members in the crowd, sighed, and then bound his own hands.

……

In a corner of the Ji residence.

"Look me in the eye."

Zeng Anmin spoke in a low voice, staring directly at the butler.

The butler looked up.

He gazed into Zeng Anmin's eyes, which were filled with golden light.

Then his whole body stiffened, and his face turned blank.

"Tell me, where in Ji Qing's residence can secrets be hidden?"

Zeng Anmin's voice rang out.

Confucianism, Taoism, and the arts of law; ask your heart.

The butler's expression remained unchanged; he stared blankly at Zeng Anmin.
"study……"
