Chapter 56: First Use of Confucianism and Taoism, Questioning the Heart

At this moment, Dad's face was as gloomy as water, with one hand behind his back, and a sense of oppression and restlessness emanated from his whole body.

It is obvious that the sudden news of King Jiang's disappearance has put him under a lot of pressure.

"And there's no spiritual energy left here, so it can't be an instantaneous formation."

Even though Dad was angry in his heart, there was no emotion in his words.

"It's not a formation..."

Zeng Anmin's eyes flickered for a moment, and he murmured:

“That’s a little tricky.”

Because a possibility now emerged in his mind.

Wang Deli and Lin Rong are suspected of treason.

It is absolutely impossible for people to disappear out of thin air.

The whole house is a very closed environment.

That leaves only this one possibility.

His sparkling eyes met his father's.

The two glanced at Lin Rong at the same time.

Obviously, the father and son thought of the same thing.

But I definitely can't ask directly at this time.

"Separately interrogate all the Red-Cloaked Men guarding this room."

Dad's mind worked quickly. He looked at Lin Rong calmly and gave orders.

"yes!"

Lin Rong respectfully accepted the order.

Zeng Anmin took the opportunity to carefully observe Lin Rong's face.

There was no change at all, nothing unusual except respect.

Either he is a scheming old thief, or he is definitely not colluding with King Jiang.

In fact, that's true. Joining Prince Jiang at this time is similar to joining Li Jiancheng after Xuanwu Gate.

At that time, only the father and son were left in the room.

"What do you think?"

Dad looked at Zeng Anmin indifferently.

"two."

Zeng Anmin gently rubbed his chin with his hand, and then spoke:

"First, Wang Deli and Lin Rong rebelled and secretly communicated with Prince Jiang."

"Secondly, there might be something else going on in this house."

Zeng Anmin's gaze slowly swept across every corner of the room.

As sharp as a falcon searching for prey.

"The first possibility is too small."

Dad was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Lin Rong and Wang Deli are both innocent, and their families are harmonious. Prince Jiang's execution is a foregone conclusion. They will definitely not fail to see the situation clearly at this time."

Having said this, he slowly walked forward, a heavy aura of green appeared in his vicissitudes eyes as he glanced around, and his voice was solemn:

"And there's not even a trace of extraordinary fluctuations occurring here..."

"That's only one possibility."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath:

"There's a secret passage in this room!"

This is the only possibility at the moment.

After this voice sounded, Dad frowned, looked at Zeng Anmin and asked:

"If there was a secret passage, why didn't Prince Jiang escape on the first day of his imprisonment, but suffered for several days before escaping?"

This is a loophole.

"To conceal our tracks."

A dangerous thought emerged in Zeng Anmin's mind, and he looked straight at his father:

"Dad, do you think a prince plotting rebellion would only seek out Shuiyun Island as his secret location?"

"How could a mere three hundred muskets possibly support the forces of a rebellion?"

"You mean..." Dad's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked straight at Zeng Anmin.

"I suspect Prince Jiang chose to flee today. Firstly, he wanted to deceive us, deliberately making us think there was no secret in this room to confuse us and disrupt our thinking. Secondly... after escaping, he wanted to find the rebels he had privately raised and fight to the death."

Zeng Anmin's voice was solemn.

Because apart from this, there is no other reason for a living person to disappear out of thin air.

"But this house has been dug up almost to the ground..."

Dad looked at the messy house, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"That's easy." Zeng Anmin's eyes darkened slightly. "We just need to find out who specifically proposed arranging this room for Prince Jiang, and then question their conscience!"

"Follow the clues and you'll find the traces in this house."

With just a few words, the whole situation was straightened out in an instant.

A very clear idea and a very feasible method.

Zeng Anmin solved the problem in less than a moment.

Dad's face was stunned at first, then suddenly a bright light flashed:

"good!"

…………

"Pfft~"

The military lieutenant was thrown to the ground like a puddle of mud.

The captain's name was Cheng Li, he had a rough face and was a martial artist of the highest rank.

At this time, he was tied up all over and cotton cloth was stuffed in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.

He was covered in blood, and his hands and feet were twitching constantly.

And he was already rolling his eyes.

Zeng Anmin slowly stepped over the stool in front of Cheng Li, looking him up and down with his almond-shaped eyes.

Squatting down slowly, he looked at the dying Captain Cheng Li on the ground and asked slowly:

"Tell me your true identity."

As he said that, he stuffed the cotton cloth out of Cheng Li's mouth.

At this time, Zeng Shilin was behind him.

Lin Rong stared at Cheng Li on the ground. If he dared to move, he would suppress him with lightning speed.

He never expected that such a spy would appear under his command.

Cheng Li didn't dare to speak. He opened his mouth and gasped for breath.

If you look closely at his mouth, you'll see that all his teeth have been forcibly broken out.

To prevent him from committing suicide.

He seemed to have accepted his fate and refused to speak.

After making eye contact with Zeng Anmin, he looked away.

Oh!

Have backbone.

Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows slightly, his face showing a cold expression.

A hint of green slowly appeared in his eyes.

An air of majesty also emanated from him, filling the entire room.

“Hey!!”

Zeng Anmin suddenly shouted.

Cheng Li on the ground subconsciously looked up.

When his eyes met Zeng Anmin, he became extremely dazed.

"Tell me, who ordered you to imprison King Jiang in this room!!!"

After reaching the sixth level of Confucianism, the only Confucian method that can be applied is to ask your conscience!

This is Zeng Anmin's first time using it.

The effect is certainly great.

"Prince Jiang...the steward of Prince Jiang's mansion..."

Cheng Li stared at Zeng Anmin blankly and spoke unconsciously:

"I robbed my wife... I also had an affair with my stepmother... I didn't let go of the daughter my stepmother brought with her... I also had an affair with Lin Canjun's concubine named Li Niang..."

ox.

Zeng Anmin gave the boy a thumbs up, then turned to look at Lin Rong.

Lin Rong's face was already ashen at this time.

This soldier is his direct subordinate.

He was obviously very surprised by what the soldier said.

"Fuck you!!"

Lin Rong couldn't help but go up and slap Cheng Li.

“Crack.”

Cheng Li's jawbone was broken by this slap.

Dad had no expression on his face, and his voice was cold:

"Call the steward of Prince Jiang's mansion and ask him about his conscience."

"yes!"

Lin Rong took a fierce look at the captain lying on the ground, whose life or death was unknown, and left after receiving the order.

…………

Not long after, another voice sounded.

“Bang!!”

An old man with blood all over his mouth was thrown directly to the ground by Lin Rong.

The old man was tied up and wriggling on the ground like a maggot...

"Your Excellency the Governor, this man is Li Fu, the steward of Prince Jiang's mansion."

"Um."

…

“Hey!!!”

Zeng Anmin didn't hesitate and immediately shouted at Li Fu.

Li Fu slowly raised his head and looked at Zeng Anmin.

"Tell me! What's the secret in this room?!"

Li Fu was stunned.

He slowly lowered his head and kept silent.

Um? ? !

Zeng Anmin turned to look at his father in confusion.

He didn't understand why his self-examination was ineffective.

"Oh."

The old man sneered and his eyes fell on Li Fu:

"He's also a Confucian and Taoist monk."

Oh, that’s what happened!

"Let me ask you, how do we find the secret passage in this house?"

Dad's voice was deep and hushed, ringing in everyone's ears.

Green air appeared around Dad, flowing like a mighty river.

This sound was much stronger than Zeng Anmin's just now.

Li Fu looked up blankly, his face extremely dull, and spoke unconsciously:

"Move...away...the book..."

"Bang!!!"

The next moment, his head suddenly exploded!!

Zeng Anmin was splashed with red and white everywhere.
