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

Chapter 8 Dad’s Wisdom

Jianhong had a blank expression on his face: "Zeng Anmin solved the case, made meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, and has cleared you of suspicion."

Ok?
Zeng Shilin's expression froze.

Only at this time did he see his only son still standing beside Emperor Jianhong.

At this time, Zeng Anmin looked innocent and blinked at his father.

Yes, that's me.

Zeng Shilin looked confused.

He was clear about his son's moral character.

There would certainly be no problem asking him to visit a brothel or play a few hands in a gambling house, but asking him to solve a case?

This is ridiculous...

So his first reaction was that his son must have deceived Emperor Jianhong with sweet words.

But you can fool people for a while, but not forever. If they are found out later, wouldn't that just give the enemy a handle? !

In addition, I failed to take good care of the Dragon Survey Map, which was an additional crime...

Zeng Shilin's face suddenly turned serious, and he bowed to Emperor Jianhong, his voice extremely sad:

"Your Majesty, my son has deceived the court. Please don't punish me. All the faults are mine. I am willing to die in prison."

He would rather believe his son's nonsense and commit the crime of deceiving the king.

Zeng Anmin was somewhat helpless. He said:
"Dad, I didn't lie to you..."

However, before he could say anything else, Zeng Shilin angrily interrupted him:
"You little brat, do you know what solving a case is? Come here and kneel down! Apologize to His Majesty!"

After saying this, he quickly said to Jianhong:

"All the mistakes are my fault. Your Majesty, please do not hold it against this rebellious son, considering that I have been loyal to the Holy Dynasty for decades."

Zeng Shilin, who had been arrogant in the officialdom for more than a decade, now bent his back very humbly.

Any normal person can see the strong protectiveness of a child at a glance.

What a loving father and filial son!
Jianhong saw Zeng Shilin's move, and then looked at Zeng Anmin who was standing there.

The image of Zeng Anmin, who was confident of victory and solving cases in an orderly manner during the day, appeared in his mind.

He couldn't help but think of his princes who were fighting with each other.

I have an urge to scrap the account and start over.

Jianhong was feeling uninterested and a little depressed, so he didn't want to talk.

Then he glanced at the Venerable in White.

Receiving Jianhong's gaze, the white-robed venerable instantly understood, and he stepped forward to help Zeng Shilin up.

Zeng Shilin withdrew his hand and pretended to listen.

He just glanced at the white-robed venerable with the corner of his eye, and calmly distanced himself from him.

The small action damage is so big...

The meaning is obvious.

You uncouth warrior, please don't get too close to me.

The eyelids of the White-robed Venerable twitched and he clenched his back teeth.

A Confucian who looks down on others with his nose! How annoying!
He suppressed his unhappiness and said:
"Today at noon, Xuan Jingsi and I were ordered to go to the Governor's Mansion... Wang Daoyuan used words to trick Zeng Anmin into killing him while he was escaping... It's ridiculous that I can see through his thoughts, but he still doesn't realize it."

"Fortunately, Zeng Anmin lived up to my expectations and did not trust Wang Daoyuan so easily."

"I saw that he had a lot of character, so I helped Zeng Anmin meet His Majesty and gave him a chance to survive."

"........."

I have to say that the process he described was mixed with a lot of personal opinions.

Zeng Anmin could hear it alone.

The process of solving the case was covered by his few words, but in his own part, he could at least say an extra 100 or 200 words...

Non-mainstream youth, do you love to show off so much?
"Finally, with my help, Zeng Anmin successfully solved the case."

After the White-robed Reverend finished speaking, his face was filled with satisfaction.

He was in a good mood after telling the story in his heart exactly as it was.

"This……"

Zeng Shilin looked at his son in surprise and doubt.

The white-robed venerable had a lot of personal stuff to say, but Zeng Shilin was a seasoned veteran after all, so he could naturally grasp the key points.

When my son was sorting out the case, his logic was meticulous, his thinking was smooth and he was well organized.

Having been in the officialdom for decades, he has experienced at least eight hundred cases, if not a thousand. Naturally, he knows what kind of wisdom and experience is needed to achieve all these!

Seeing his father's expression, Zeng Anmin naturally knew what he was thinking.

He had already prepared for this.

"Ugh."

Zeng Anmin smiled bitterly and looked at Zeng Shilin:
"When faced with a sudden change, if the child is still as confused as usual, wouldn't it be absurd?" "I saw Qi Bo fall down with my own eyes, but I was powerless to do anything..."

"In the past, whenever I got into trouble, Daddy always supported me from behind. This time, it's my turn to help Daddy."

"As for solving the case, it's actually not that difficult. I firmly believe that my father would never collude with the demon clan. With this clue, it will be much easier. As for meeting His Majesty, I'm actually prepared to die..."

After saying this, Zeng Anmin pursed his lips and kept silent.

Zeng Shilin's body trembled slightly, and he looked at his son with a very complicated expression.

Zeng Anmin is right, the most difficult thing about solving a case is having no clues.

If you have a clue, it will be very smooth to follow the introduction.

After a long time, he looked extremely relieved:

"Growing up, that's good..."

Sudden changes can indeed make people more mature.

There are many such stories throughout history.

To everyone, this makes sense.

……

Jianhong, who was standing by, felt more and more upset as he watched this scene.

The more I look at it, the more I want to scrap the big size...

I simply turned a blind eye and turned to leave:
"My dear Zeng, now that the matter is clear, please return home. I am tired."

However, what he didn't expect was that Zeng Shilin's stubborn voice came from behind him.

"I will not leave."

Ok?
Jianhong frowned and squinted his eyes to look over.

Zeng Shilin did not shy away from this gaze:

"As long as Your Majesty does not pardon my crime, I will have no right to be released from prison."

"I beg you to issue an order to make my injustice known to the world!!"

……

Jianhong's eyelids twitched.

Zeng Shilin's intention was clearly to confront Emperor Jianhong.

Oh, you say I colluded with the demon clan, so I colluded with the demon clan. You say I am innocent, so I am innocent?
You want me to leave? Fine, issue an imperial decree and let the world know.

It can be summed up in two words.

Apologize!

silence.

The entire cell was silent.

"Yes, father, you should issue an imperial decree."

Ning An, who had ruined countless good things done by Zeng Anmin, stabbed Jianhong again at this time.

She was naive and thought that what Zeng Shilin said was reasonable.

Zeng Anmin almost wanted to laugh out loud.

It seems that this girl is not very smart, and she is not targeting only herself, she is targeting everyone.

Jianhong ignored Ning An and turned his attention to Zeng Shilin.

When their eyes met, Zeng Shilin was extremely calm.

"That's fine." Jianhong looked at Zeng Shilin and said slowly:

"Since rewards and punishments are clearly defined, let's be thorough. Zeng Anmin has made great contributions in solving the case, so I will also appoint him to the capital and make him a guard in front of the emperor. How about that?"

……

shameless!
Old fox!
Dog day!
These words appeared in Zeng Anmin and his father's minds at the same time.

But Dad reacted quickly and shook his head quickly:
"My son has not learned martial arts, so he is not qualified to be the imperial guard. Your Majesty may wish to issue an order to convert this merit into cash, so that I can build bridges and roads to benefit the people."

Emperor Jianhong just looked at his father deeply, then stood up and walked out.

Only the back of the head is left for everyone.

Seeing him leave, Ning An and the White-robed Venerable followed him.

There were only the father and son left in the cell.

"This……"

Zeng Anmin looked at his father in confusion.

"Let's go."

A smile appeared on Zeng Shilin's face. He pulled up Zeng Anmin's sleeve and followed Jianhong.
