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

Chapter 42 Prepare to close the net!

Governor's Mansion, in the study.

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, the old man slowly raised his head, with a cold light flashing in his eyes:

"It can now be confirmed that the assassin was sent by someone from Prince Jiang's Mansion."

"Yes, and the disappearance of Jin Taiping and Shen 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, don't tell me.

Otherwise I would be the Black Cat Warrior.

This time, I was really fooled by 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 assassinate the son of his political enemy?
I have to say, the person who came up with this idea is a real genius.

"Shen Liu..."

Dad was silent for a moment, then glanced at Zeng Anmin:
"Do you see your father's intentions?"

"Who could not have guessed this? I said I wanted to be an official, and you pushed me into the Xuan Jing Division, and then this case came up directly. 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 have never thought about whether the case is right or not." Dad shook his head slowly, his eyes became serious and he said:

"Since Shen Liu is dead, it is inevitable that Shen Jun will take over the Chamber of Commerce, but the news of his murder of his aunt has just happened."

"That guy named Xu Yunfeng detained Shen Jun in jail for three months..."

"In order to prevent the Jiang Palace from taking advantage of the opportunity to support a puppet to annex Jin Taiping, your father placed you in the Dianli Office to protect Mr. Shen."

"Mr. Shen cannot die."

"Although according to the laws of our Great Holy Dynasty, women in the house who commit adultery or lynching are not punishable by death."

"But he can't escape the punishment alive. 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 a strange look appeared on his face.

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 cannot withstand a single round of its ammunition."

A proud look appeared on the father's face:
"When my father broke through the Firewood-Bearing Realm, Master Xu gave it to me personally. 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 we 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 would be much more convenient.

"Thank you dad."

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

"Ah."

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.

coming.

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

"That black cat warrior saved my life anyway, he is definitely not a vicious person..."

"Hmph," Dad snorted coldly.

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

"It's not as bad as the crime he committed when he assassinated the prince of the palace in the street."

After saying this, he looked at Zeng Anmin deeply, 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, which was a little strange.

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 on your biological son?!

Thank you!

He glanced at his golden finger inconspicuously.

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

Great! "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 hands and reading it with great interest.

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

"You've been looking at me like this 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, folded his arms and looked at Qi Dachun with raised eyebrows.

"Of course, 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:
"My parents are here, so I won't travel far!"

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

Got it!
This guy can 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: "How dare he! Unless he wants to rebel!"

"hehe."

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

The pair of phoenix eyes slowly narrowed, and the smile at the corner of the mouth slowly became strange:
"You're right."

Ga?
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.

The Prince Jiang’s Mansion is going 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 the Jiang Palace."

The reason was simple: the "Black Cat Warrior" who 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 checked the ship yesterday, we found sulfur on the ship of Prince Jiang’s Mansion.

Others don’t know what sulfur can do, how could Zeng Anmin not know? ?

Sulfur is an important material for making gunpowder!

So……

Now it was just a matter of finding out where they were shipping the materials.

We will be able to 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 Shen 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 wife would seduce her nephew in his own "funeral hall".

As a warrior, Shen Liu has a rebellious temperament... If Shen Jun dies in their hands, Shen Liu will 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 died, they wouldn't have to worry about being exposed.

"Left Officer, Master Shen Jun, the helmsman of the Jin Taiping Fleet, requests to see you."

"The Red-robed Guard Wang Daoyuan wants to see you."

Zeng Anmin raised his lips, and he slowly stood up, with a strange look on his face:
"Dachun, let's go and help the young master close the net."
