"May I ask, Second Young Master, you've repeatedly asked me to develop gunpowder that can breach city walls, and now you want me to build heavy cannons. What exactly are you up to?"
Gu Ruinian looked suspicious.
"If you're planning a rebellion, don't drag me into something that could cost me my head," Gu Ruinian said.
Second Young Master Zheng sneered, "Don't forget that your life is in my hands."
Second Young Master Zheng didn't even lift his eyes to look at Gu Ruinian, thinking he was fit to be dragged in?
Gu Ruinian's face stiffened.
Second Young Master Zheng pondered.
Even though he was coercing Gu Ruinian into making potent gunpowder to improve heavy cannons, forcing him to comply, he was already suspicious of rebellion. If he decided to report to the government and ruin everything, it would all be for naught for the Zheng Family.
By all intents and purposes, the Zheng Family neither had the power nor the inclination for rebellion.
