Chapter 55 Entering Prince Jiang's Mansion
After watching Wang Deli leave, Zeng Anmin turned his head to look at Prince Jiang's Mansion.
"Master, are we going home?"
Dachun just rode over at this time and looked at him cautiously.
"Go to Prince Jiang's Mansion."
Zeng Anmin did not hesitate. He had no expression on his face. He gently pulled the reins with his fair hands and exerted force with his legs.
"Hiss~"
The warhorse under his crotch neighed loudly, turned its head, and galloped away on all fours.
Dachun also hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.
It takes at least half an hour's ride from Xuan Jing Si to Prince Jiang's Mansion, but Zeng Anmin shortened the journey time to just two quarters of an hour.
"Ouch~"
Zeng Anmin tightened the reins and the horse slowed down.
He stepped on the stirrups, dismounted, and looked up at the huge mansion in front of him.
【Jiangwang Mansion】
The three big characters shine brightly.
Outside the mansion, there were nearly two thousand armored soldiers, holding spears in their hands and standing straight and meticulously, surrounding the entire mansion. A murderous aura was overwhelming.
He didn't waste any words. After Dachun arrived, he led the way towards the mansion gate.
When they were halfway through, a deep voice rang out:
"Stop now, everyone!"
Looking up, he saw a soldier in armor looking at him coldly. The man was dressed in military uniform, had a serious expression, and his square face was very eye-catching. He just stood there, like an iron tower.
Lin Rong, the Lieutenant General in Charge of Liangjiang County.
Dad's direct subordinate.
Zeng Anmin remained calm as he approached Lin Rong and took out the token from his waist.
"The left clerk of the Xuanjing Division, Zeng Anmin."
"Master Zeng?"
Hearing his name, Lin Rongben's solemn face was slightly startled, then he pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and stepped forward to greet him:
"What is Quan Fu doing here?"
"Such a big thing happened under my rule, how could my nephew not come?"
Zeng Anmin's face was solemn, and his voice was cold. "I just met Wang Deli and already know the important matter here. I hope Uncle Lin will do me a favor and let me go in to explore."
"Please!" Lin Rongxian said without any hesitation, with a hint of joy on his face.
Zeng Anmin, the son of the Governor, solved the case of the missing dragon map, the case of Zhang Lun, the case of Shen Jun, and the case of the rebellion of Prince Jiang...
The ins and outs of each case were compiled into files by the Xuan Jing Division and sent to major county governments for observation and study.
Zeng Anmin's reputation as a god-like judge of cases has spread throughout the official circles of Fengqi Road.
"Thank you very much."
Zeng Anmin looked sharp and headed towards the mansion gate with Dachun.
“Open the door!!”
Lin Rong gave orders to the soldiers guarding the door from behind.
The two soldiers pushed the door open very swiftly.
Only then could Zeng Anmin clearly see the mansion behind the gate.
In the government compound, there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.
Every soldier had a serious expression, standing with a gun in hand, as straight as a pine tree.
This sentry post extends all the way to the inner courtyard.
Every place where a person could be hidden was within the range of the sentry post.
Dad takes the rebellion in Prince Jiang's Mansion very seriously.
Therefore, almost all the elite troops of the Liangjiang County were placed in the Prince Jiang's Mansion.
There are at least two thousand people guarding the densely packed sentries.
There are even people patrolling back and forth.
"Commander Wang said that Prince Jiang's disappearance didn't cause any unusual movements?"
Zeng Anmin recalled the scene after Fang met Wang Deli on the street, and his eyes slowly raised and fell on Lin Rong's face in front of him.
Lin Rong sighed, and tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword.
"Prince Jiang is a serious criminal, so he is being held in solitary confinement. However, due to his special status, we dare not treat him too harshly before the emperor's order comes down."
"They just locked him up in the room. They doubled the sentries around the house, and Commander Wang even stood guard at the door day and night..."
At this point, a look of bewilderment crossed Lin Rong's face. "Even every hour, my brother would personally go into the room to check. Before the 3:00 PM, Prince Jiang was always in the room. By the 4:00 PM, when my brother entered the room, no one was left..."
After hearing this, Zeng Anmin frowned and asked:
"Is there a secret passage in Prince Jiang's mansion?"
"Yes, they searched the entire palace on the first day of their visit. The tunnel led to a secret room. There was nothing inside except some money."
Lin Rong replied in a deep voice, "So we deliberately chose a room far away from the secret passage to hold Prince Jiang for the longest time."
There’s no secret passage… Could it be that it flew away?
Zeng Anmin pondered for a while.
This statement of the case did not have any highlights and did not provide him with any ideas.
"Let's go to the detention center first." He looked at Lin Rong expressionlessly.
"Okay, follow me."
Zeng Anmin followed Lin Rong and continued walking deeper into the mansion.
After a while, he walked to the front of a courtyard. There were at least two hundred sword-wielding guards in front and behind the courtyard, all of whom were red-clothed men from the Xuanjing Division.
"Meet Zeng Zuoli!"
When they saw Zeng Anmin appear, the group of men in red clothes looked extremely respectful and saluted him.
"No need to be polite."
Zeng Anmin pressed it down casually, not caring about it. His eyes fell on the door of the room.
The man in red clothes kept a close watch on the surroundings of the room.
Without hesitation, he pushed open the door, and then a foul smell hit him in the face.
The smell is pungent and has a faint fishy smell.
When his eyes fell on the toilets in the room, his expression became relieved.
Although he will not be tortured, he will not be allowed to have an easy time either.
It's not hard to understand why there's this smell after eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating in the same room for so many days.
Zeng Anmin looked around and found that there were not many furnishings in the room.
There is only a bed, a table, a bookshelf, and a few basins.
But it was already in a mess at this time, obviously it was messed up when the soldiers came in to search after Prince Jiang disappeared.
Even the books and vases on the bookshelf were thrown into a pile on the ground, leaving only a bare bookshelf.
There is almost no other hair.
The roof was sealed tightly and surrounded by soldiers.
Wanting to disappear from here out of thin air... is difficult, absolutely impossible.
"Secret Chamber."
Zeng Anmin touched his chin and murmured:
"Could it be the Instant Breath Formation?"
He suddenly remembered the Xuanzhen magic that Qi Xianlin used when he captured him on Shuiyun Island last time.
Although it was cracked by my father with a wave of his hand.
But don't forget, there are only two warriors here, Lin Rong and Wang Deli.
It is not impossible to fail to notice the activation of the formation.
Zeng Anmin seemed to be thinking about something.
But he knew nothing about the Xuanzhensi's formations.
He had no idea how to perform it, whether there were any auxiliary tools, what means were needed, etc.
"Uncle Lin, do you know anything about the Xuanzhen Division's instantaneous formation?"
Zeng Anmin suddenly spoke and looked at Lin Rong.
Lin Rong was standing at the door at this time. Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on his face:
"I had this idea when Prince Jiang disappeared out of thin air. However, to cast a formation, you need to place spirit stones and gather array patterns. These rooms don't have any of these, so we can only rule them out."
"Then there is no way to perform it without these?"
Zeng Anmin immediately caught the loophole in this statement.
"Yes, but that requires the strength of a fourth-grade meridian gathering master from the Xuanzhen Division."
A familiar voice came from the door.
"Your Excellency the Governor."
Hearing this, Lin Rong immediately bowed respectfully.
Not long after, with the sound of light footsteps, Zeng Shilin walked into the house with a serious expression.
