Su Jinhua raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of smile on his face, and nodded gently.

"You investigate secretly and ask them to be careful. They must not be discovered."

She looked at the envelope in her hand and burned it completely.

Zhuying stood beside him, a faint light flashed in his dark eyes, and he said something in a low voice.

"Shen Rujun has not been in the mansion recently. It seems that he has gone to Gutian County."

Shen was a loudmouth. She was always tactless in what she said and did. As long as her son got an official position, she would like to let everyone around her know.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Cui quickly got the exact news, and the fact that Shen Rujun was following the third prince became known to everyone.

Su Jinhua had a teasing look in his eyes as he took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"Okay, send someone to monitor his every move. I want to see what he wants to do."

Do you really think that you can become successful by hooking up with the third prince?

It seems that Shen Rujun is just a selfish person. For the sake of money and his own ambitions, he can do anything and is not afraid of being eaten by others.

Zhuying nodded slightly and said no more.

Then on the other side, as expected of a couple, Gu Yanan sat on the stool in the study, looking at the letter in his hand with his brows tightly furrowed.

"Did Shen Rujun go to Gutian County?"

It seems that this matter is definitely related to the third prince. Maybe some secret has happened?

Lin Xiao, who was standing next to him, nodded slightly, with a calm expression on his face.

"The secret guards we sent out have carefully observed that Shen Rujun's actions this time were very covert, and the roads he took were all small paths, probably to avoid being discovered."

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became very depressing, and even the voices of people talking felt a little empty.

Gu Yanan frowned, with a hint of worry on his face. He just silently burned the note in his hand. The smell of carbon could be smelled in the room.

He quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words on the paper, and stuffed it into the envelope.

"Send this letter to Liu Dashan as soon as possible. There is also danger in Gutian County. Send someone to keep an eye on it. Report any situation to me immediately."

He was naturally worried, his expression was tense, and his tone was cold.

Lin Xiao's face was also extremely nervous. He immediately took the envelope and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the letter right away."

After he finished, he turned around and left. The study returned to its calm state, and everything around seemed to sense the breath of danger.

……

Liu Dashan sat in the yard, his face full of sorrow, and he let out a long breath.

"If it doesn't rain, people won't be able to survive. Food will be a big problem."

He couldn't even eat the meal now. He felt like there was a huge stone pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Xiaogui also felt a little worried. He sighed and shook his head slightly.

"The current situation is a bit complicated. If it doesn't rain, it's not that serious. I think the most serious thing is the corrupt officials."

He took a sip of cold water and felt his face flushed with heat and his mind was dizzy. Other ordinary people were either dying of heat or starvation.

The expression on Liu Dashan's face was extremely solemn. His brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. His dark eyes were so deep that one could not see through them.

"It seems that we still have to investigate the local officials privately to see if they know about this matter."

He naturally felt uncomfortable. Seeing so many people suffering, and how he took their money and lived an extravagant life, he was so angry that he couldn't calm down.

Xiaogui happened to have the same idea, so he nodded in agreement immediately. The two of them found out that the official's favorite place to go was the restaurant in the city.

As soon as they walked in, they could feel a lot of people crowded together, and there were even quite a few women dancing on the stage, which was quite a charming sight.

Quite a few people gathered together. From the clothes they wore and the ornaments on their heads, it could be seen that they were either rich or noble. Some were even better than some people in the capital.

When Xiaogui came in, his face was gloomy and he uttered a muffled sound.

"These people said that after scraping away the things, they used them all on themselves. They really know how to enjoy life!"

There was a coldness in the tone of his voice, like frost, which was a bit prickly.

Liu Dashan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He found a place to sit down, and kept his eyes on them, scanning back and forth.

"They have money in their hands, so naturally they want to live a life of luxury. If you don't know them, you would think they are the emperor of this county."

There are many girls here, and the clothes they wear are quite revealing. You can tell at first glance that they are not decent women.

There is one beside every nobleman. Their faces are full of charm, and even the tone of their voice can make people feel tenderness.

Not only did there happen to be a woman sticking right next to the two of them, but there was also a hint of smile in her eyes.

"Is this the first time for these two guests? How about letting me serve you?"

The woman smiled brightly, as if the flowers around her were blooming all of a sudden.

Liu Dashan's eyes became even deeper, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be a playboy. He directly grabbed her little hand and pulled her towards himself.

"What a nice-smelling girl! I haven't seen a girl like you in a long time. You make my heart flutter."

He is quite burly, and looks like a martial artist. Even when he wears ordinary clothes, he looks extraordinary.

Moreover, he dressed up specially for coming to the restaurant today, and looked quite handsome. Many women cast their eyes on them.

After hearing this, the woman had a slight smile on her face, as if she was a little shy, and she simply lowered her head.

"You just know how to joke around and make fun of me."

Her hands seemed to have no bones. She punched his chest directly, soft and weak.

The smile on Liu Dashan's face became more obvious. He just shook his head, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"Look at what you said. Can't people talk about being beautiful?"

He looked around and then let out a long breath.

"What a pity! A beautiful woman like you shouldn't be left here. I don't know how much it would cost to redeem you."

He spoke with sincerity and as if he was serious, and even his eyes were full of affection.
