Chapter 42 Prepare to close the net!

In the study of the Governor's Mansion.

After chatting for nearly an hour, Zeng Anmin and his father completed the exchange of all information.

When Zeng Anmin finished telling the whole process of how he was "rescued".

The room fell into silence.

After a long time, Dad slowly raised his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes:

"Then we can now confirm that the assassin was sent by someone from Prince Jiang's Mansion."

"Yes, and the disappearance of Jin Taiping and Chen Liu is probably related to the Prince Jiang's Mansion."

Zeng Anmin actually knew early on that the assassin was from Prince Jiang's Mansion.

Hey, you're right.

Otherwise I would be the Black Cat Warrior.

This time, I was really fooled by the Prince Jiang’s Mansion.

Who could have thought that just after his own son died at the hands of an assassin, he would impersonate that assassin to kill the son of his political enemy?

I have to say, the person who came up with this idea is really a genius.

"Shen Liu..."

Dad was silent for a moment, then glanced at Zeng Anmin:

"Do you see your father's intentions?"

"Who couldn't have guessed this? I said I wanted to be an official, and you shoved me into the Xuanjing Division, and then this case came up straight away. There must be something wrong with this case."

Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched and he said, "Dad, what exactly did you find wrong?"

He casually picked up the jade toad on the table, played with it while looking at Zeng Shilin.

"I haven't thought about whether the case is right or wrong." Dad shook his head slowly, his eyes becoming serious.

"Since Shen Liu is dead, it's inevitable that Mr. Shen will take over the Chamber of Commerce. But then news of his murder of his aunt came out."

"That guy named Xu Yunfeng imprisoned Mr. Shen for three months..."

"To prevent the Jiang Palace from taking advantage of the situation and supporting a puppet to annex Jin Taiping, your father has placed you in the clerk's office to protect Lord Shen."

"Mr. Shen cannot die."

"Although according to the laws of our Great Holy Dynasty, adultery committed by a woman in the house and the crime of lynching are not punishable by death."

"But he can't escape the punishment alive. As a father, I'm afraid he'll be harmed in prison..."

At this point, Dad's face became relieved:

"I never thought that you would actually solve the case."

Mr. Shen was innocent from beginning to end.

This kid is a nice person.

Zeng Anmin sighed inwardly.

As they were talking, Zeng Shilin took out a small object from the drawer under the table and handed it to Zeng Anmin.

"Take this."

Zeng Anmin looked at the thing handed to him and his face became a little strange.

gun?

No, it's a musket.

This world even has muskets?

"This thing from the Xuanzhen Division, within a hundred steps, a warrior below the sixth-grade Dongxujing level can't withstand a single round of its ammunition."

A look of pride appeared on Dad's face:

"When my father broke through the Firewood Holding Realm, it was given to him by Master Xu Tianshi himself. It is engraved with the Mysterious Array Gathering Spirit Array."

"It's much more powerful than an ordinary musket, and there's no need to reload."

Tsk.

Of course you want good things.

Zeng Anmin took the small musket and observed it carefully.

This small musket is about the size of a palm. After observing it for a long time, Zeng Anmin couldn't find the fuse.

Could it be that it happened suddenly?

Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up slightly.

That's much more convenient.

"Thank you, Dad."

Being polite to your own father will only dilute the relationship.

"Um."

Dad's face turned serious:

"Where did the black cat warrior go?"

The son only said that he was rescued by the Black Cat Warrior, and did not mention the whereabouts of that guy.

Now Daddy's attitude towards the black cat warrior is a bit complicated.

But he still wanted to catch this restless warrior.

Zeng Anmin's hand paused slightly.

Here it comes.

But he wanted to test it from the side, so he looked up and said:

"That Black Cat Warrior saved my life after all, so he's definitely not a vicious villain..."

"Hmph," Dad snorted coldly.

He looked at Zeng Anmin seriously: "If he had saved the lives of thousands of people, his merits and demerits could be offset, but he only saved my son, Zeng Shilin..."

"It's not worth the crime of assassinating the prince of the palace in the street."

After saying that, he looked at Zeng Anmin deeply, his eyes looking straight into his eyes.

Zeng Anmin suddenly saw a hint of green in his father's eyes.

The green air appeared in Zeng Shilin's eyes, a little weird.

Ask your conscience!

"Where did the black cat warrior go?" asked the old man's voice.

…

Zeng Anmin was speechless.

No, it's me! I'm your biological son, and you're using Confucianism and Taoism on your own son?!

Fortunately!

He glanced at his golden finger inconspicuously.

[Unyielding Martial God: Immune to all spirit and mental attacks.]

Top it!

"Black Cat Warrior..."

Zeng Anmin's eyes became "dull".

He walked towards the huge map in the study in a daze.

The entire map depicts all locations within and outside Liangjiang County.

"here……"

Zeng Anmin pointed casually and then fainted.

"Pfft~"

Lying straight on the ground.

Dad looked at Zeng Anmin blankly, with a hint of suspicion on his face.

Then he looked deeply at the map.

…………

The next day.

Zeng Anmin sat in the clerk's office with his legs crossed, holding a file in his hand and reading it with great interest.

Qi Dachun's wise eyes were fixed on Zeng Anmin, motionless.

"You've been looking at me like that all morning. What? Is there a girl on my face?"

Zeng Anmin felt a little uncomfortable and looked at Qi Dachun with displeasure.

"My father told me to keep an eye on the young master at all times and never leave his side."

Qi Dachun didn't care, with a serious look on his face.

"What would you do if an assassin really came?"

Zeng Anmin placed the file on the desk, crossed his arms, and looked at Qi Dachun with raised eyebrows.

"Of course I'll kill him!" Qi Dachun pounded his chest.

"What if the assassin can't defeat you and runs away?!"

"Humph!" Qi Dachun raised his head proudly:

"Don't travel far away while your parents are still alive!"

His parents are still alive, he can't run far!

have to!

This guy can even learn and apply what he has learned!

"What if the assassin's parents are from Prince Jiang's Mansion?"

Since there was no one around, Zeng Anmin wanted to tease Qi Dachun.

Dachun glared: "He dares! Unless he wants to rebel!"

"hehe."

Zeng Anmin chuckled, with an inexplicable look on his face.

Those phoenix eyes narrowed slowly, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"You're right."

Huh?

Dachun's whole body froze, his wise eyes blank.

What?

Zeng Anmin ignored him, his phoenix eyes slowly raised, with a quiet look in them.

He slowly played with the exquisite and compact musket in his hand.

Prince Jiang’s Mansion is about to rebel!

The reason is this musket!!

Although no one knows how many secrets this Xuanzhen Division in the capital contains.

But he can make muskets.

"There are people from the Xuanzhen Division in Prince Jiang's Mansion."

The reason was simple: the "Black Cat Warrior" who had assassinated him yesterday.

In his hand was a short knife that looked very similar to the one he used to kill Wang Lin.

That dagger was a reward from the system. It’s impossible that Prince Jiang’s Mansion also has a system, right?

"Spiritual weapons can only be made by people from the Xuanzhen Division."

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head and murmured.

They disguised the assassins they sent out as "Black Cat Warriors" in order to confuse the public.

I have to say this is a brilliant move.

But they had planned everything, but they had never expected that they were the real Black Cat Warrior!

"This move actually exposed him."

Zeng Anmin had a strange smile on his face.

It was revealed that there were people from the Xuanzhen Division hiding in Prince Jiang's Mansion!!!

The reason why Zeng Anmin was sure that Prince Jiang's Mansion wanted to rebel.

Because...sulfur soap!

When we inspected the ship yesterday, we found sulfur on the ship of Prince Jiang’s Mansion.

Others may not know what sulfur can do, but how could Zeng Anmin not know?

Sulfur is an important material for making gunpowder!

So……

Now it's just a matter of finding out where they're shipping the materials.

Then we can completely grasp the evidence of rebellion in Prince Jiang’s Mansion!

Even if he doesn't want to rebel, but just wants to protect himself, there are ways to make him "rebel"!

"So where do they take the sulfur?"

Zeng Anmin grinned.

This is why Jin Taiping and Chen Liu disappeared!!

As the leader of the first shipping merchant in Liangjiang County, Shen Liu has been traveling on the river since he was a child. He knows exactly where there are barren mountains and deserted islands.

The Prince Jiang's Mansion needs such a person to assist them in finding a deserted place to hide the evidence of "rebellion" in their hands.

However, what they could not have imagined was that Shen Liu's daughter-in-law would seduce her nephew in his own "funeral hall".

As a warrior, Shen Liu has a rebellious temperament... If Shen Jun died in their hands, Shen Liu would definitely not want to go along with them.

So they wanted to take advantage of their own opportunity to kill Shen Jun, but they didn't expect that they helped Shen Jun clear the suspicion.

In order to prevent future troubles, he disguised himself as a "Black Cat Warrior" to assassinate himself.

Once they die, they won't have to worry about being exposed.

"Left Officer, Young Master Shen Jun, the helmsman of the Jin Taiping Fleet, requests an audience."

"The red-robed guard Wang Daoyuan requests an audience."

Zeng Anmin raised the corner of his mouth, and he slowly stood up, a strange look flashing across his face:

"Dachun, let's go and help the young master close the net."
