Zhao Moxuan quickly realized Shen Rujun's intention. He put down the envelope in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"Try to lure him in again, and throw him an olive branch on purpose, and then let him come to me in a few days."

The man standing next to him had a cold expression, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of sadness in his words.

"Then what kind of reason should we give to make Shen Rujun stand on our side?"

At least you have to give me some benefits!

There was not much emotion on Zhao Moxuan's face. He silently burned the letters as soon as they were burned. A faint smell of carbon could be smelled in the room.

"Gutian County has been short of one person recently. We should arrest more disciples. Whether we can seize this opportunity depends on whether Shen Rujun has the courage and insight."

There is no shortage of ambitious people around him, and as long as they dare to work for him, it is natural that they should be given some benefits.

The man nodded slightly, but didn't say anything in the end, just hid in the dark.

……

Shen Rujun knew nothing about all this. He observed the situation around him with a heart full of sorrow.

He weighed the two hundred taels of silver in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth and stuffed all the money into the butler's hands.

"I only ask to see the Third Prince. I will never cause you any trouble."

The butler weighed the money in his hand, his expression was a little gloomy, his face was slightly stern, and then he let out a long breath.

"It's not that I won't help you, but the current situation is indeed a bit complicated. The Third Prince is not short of talents, and you are living well now. Why do you want to join the Third Prince?"

He looked nonchalant, looking at the money in his hand with greed in his eyes.

Shen Rujun suddenly felt like there was something stuck in his throat, as if he had eaten a fly, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"Who doesn't want others to discover your talent? Following the Third Prince is my ideal!"

He has been stepped on by others in recent days, which is completely different from the life he imagined. Naturally, he feels a little unwilling.

The butler stopped what he was doing, lowered his head slightly, and his voice was a little light.

"Let me tell you, the Third Prince is recruiting disciples recently. You can go and join him. If you want, I can arrange a position for you."

Shen Rujun thought of the grievances she had suffered recently and finally gritted her teeth. The worst that could happen was that she would use the money to gain a future. Fortunately, she had borrowed a lot in the beginning.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

At night, more than a dozen disciples stood together, locked in the basement. Shen Rujun came in voluntarily, so his expression was the calmest.

Zhao Moxuan glanced at him slightly, and finally, with a slight smile on his face, he sat down in his seat and spoke softly.

"Bring the man up here."

Just as he finished speaking, a man suddenly appeared, his body covered in blood. His clothes were stuck to his flesh, and it was obvious that he had been severely tortured.

The guards threw him to the ground. The bloody man groaned and his body moved slightly.

A faint light flashed across Zhao Moxuan's eyes. He held a knife in his hand and shook it gently. The candlelight flashed across the blade and reflected on his eyes, carrying a bit of hostility.

"I heard recently that you all want to do things for me and join me?"

Some of them were likely to leak the information, so they were immediately captured by the guards, and it was not until now that the Third Prince himself was seen.

Shen Rujun was afraid that she would be forgotten, so she nodded immediately. She was wearing snow-white clothes and her face was gentle and elegant.

"It is our honor to serve the Third Prince."

He had finally squeezed his way in front of Zhao Moxuan, and now he was naturally afraid that the other party would forget him.

Seeing this, Zhao Moxuan immediately smiled, with a refreshing look on his face and curved eyebrows.

"Since you all want to join me, you have to show your sincerity anyway."

He glanced at the bloody man lying on the ground, and his voice was so terrifying that it even made people's scalps numb.

"This person is a traitor who leaked my secrets. I caught him and tortured him, and he confessed everything he should have. Now he is no longer useful, so I don't plan to keep him."

There is only one way to go, and that is death!

The disciples around were all frightened and seemed afraid to get close, backing away.

"Third Prince, I have never thought of joining you. This is all a misunderstanding. I just want to protect my own little piece of land."

He had barely finished speaking when the guard's knife was suddenly placed directly on his neck, with traces of blood appearing on the blade.

"The Third Prince hasn't spoken yet. When will it be your turn to speak?"

In an instant, no one around dared to speak, but there was more fear in their eyes.

Shen Rujun's lips turned slightly pale with fright, his body trembled slightly, and he stood beside her pretending to be calm.

Zhao Moxuan simply put the knife on the table and drank the tea in his hand gently, as if he didn't care much about what they were thinking.

"There is an underground casino in Gutian County that just needs someone to look after it. Whoever can kill this man will take over the underground casino."

How much profit can be made?

Wouldn't it be possible for me to be rich all my life and no longer have to accept that meager salary?

There was a greedy look in Shen Rujun's eyes, and his eyes were bright, which was different from those of other disciples.

"A gentleman would never do such a thing. Third Prince, please stop forcing us to kill people. We absolutely cannot do it!"

These people can't survive even if they don't take action!

Shen Rujun had a hint of sarcasm on his face and sneered.

idiot!

He stepped forward and grabbed the dagger, his hands trembling slightly. Finally, he squatted down and stabbed it into the bloody man's heart quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

The snow splashed directly on his face, and even his snow-white clothes were covered with traces of blood. Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

A hint of appreciation flashed across Zhao Moxuan's eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he clapped his hands.

"Well, you are really courageous!"

A group of people around began to chatter, as if they could not accept this fact. Zhao Moxuan just felt it was a bit noisy, frowned and waved his hands.

The other few people were killed instantly and fell directly to the ground with blood flowing from their necks. For a moment, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Shen Rujun's fingers were trembling slightly and her lips turned pale. She immediately knelt on the ground and served him to show her loyalty.

"Although I am just a scholar, I will definitely be loyal to the Third Prince. I will do whatever the Third Prince tells me to do!"

The third prince was satisfied, and Shen Rujun was finally successfully retained.
