After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Chapter 133 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

At this time in County Magistrate Yang's mansion, his face was full of flattering expressions, and he even took out the most expensive tea. The decorations in the yard were even more lavish.

Every piece of it is a masterpiece, and you can’t get it without paying a huge price.

"Mr. Shen, please try it."

Hearing this, Shen Rujun silently took in everything around him. A faint light flashed in his dark eyes, and he nodded slightly.

"The Third Prince sent me here to investigate. I wonder if County Magistrate Yang has discovered anything recently?"

He had just arrived and was indeed a little surprised. He had never expected that this underground gambling city was so rich that even a senior official could live such a life.

County Magistrate Yang chuckled with a hint of bitterness in his laughter, and shook his head quickly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"I just can't find out who did these things. There have been several more groups of soldiers in the city recently, but I still can't find out who the traitor is."

He actually didn't care, but it was really hard to explain and he was really distressed.

Shen Rujun didn't show much emotion after hearing these words. He just took a sip of tea and immediately put down the cup in his hand.

"In that case, take me to the underground casino first and gather all the people. I want to see what they are up to."

He also came here with a military order this time. If he couldn't even find the person, it would be really embarrassing.

The expression on County Magistrate Yang's face was extremely gentle. There was no trace of his previous violent look, as he would beat anyone he disliked.

In the underground casino, all the shop assistants gathered together. Everyone was a little frightened, but they didn't seem to dare to raise their heads.

They were very honest, not even a word was said, but the atmosphere somehow became very depressing, even a little weird.

Seeing this, Shen Rujun looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and casually pushed a thin man in front of him to the ground.

"Have any suspicious people appeared recently?"

Some people around didn't dare to say a word. The man who was pressed to the ground just shook his head and didn't even dare to struggle.

"No...no."

His voice was weak, but his body was shaking slightly and he looked extremely frightened.

Shen Rujun sneered, stopped what he was doing, looked around, and took out a knife without him noticing.

The knife was extremely sharp, and when it passed through the candlelight it could be reflected on people's faces, creating a reflection.

"Think about it again and see if there is anything I missed."

He gently wiped the knife in his hand, and some people around him still remained silent.

Suddenly, a miserable sound was heard the next second. The man suddenly covered his right hand. The knife went straight through his palm and just hung there.

"Ah ah ah..."

Hearing this, Shen Rujun just felt that it was a bit noisy. He waved his hand casually, frowning slightly.

The surrounding soldiers immediately dragged him away. The people around him became more and more frightened and didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"If you don't think carefully about who is the problem, or if you stand up, I won't be polite, and you will end up like him."

No one around dared to say anything. Suddenly, the store manager's eyes moved around slowly, with a bit of shrewdness and a flattering smile on his face.

"I do know some information, but it's not very accurate. I didn't dare to report it. Now that I think about it, there may be some problems."

Hearing this, Shen Rujun slowly sat down on the stool, raised his eyelids, and without any fluctuation in his eyes, he just nodded slightly.

"Tell me?"

He doesn't look like a scholar at all. He speaks like a ghost who only knows how to kill people and take their money.

The store manager was a little scared, so he just told the whole story of what had happened recently.

"I heard from my wife that a few days ago, a family in the west of the city was rescued by outsiders. Just a few days ago, a few gamblers came to us..."

He mentioned all the suspicious points, but in the final analysis, it all fell on those outsiders.

Shen Rujun narrowed his eyes dangerously, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, so where are they now?"

I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!

His words were filled with murderous intent, and even his eyes were icy.

The light in the underground casino was sufficient, illuminating the expressions on everyone's faces extremely clearly; even a small movement could be seen clearly.

The store manager immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, smiled, and let out a light breath.

"Well, I'm not too sure about this right now, but they are suspicious and their behavior is extremely suspicious. I do have some doubts."

In fact, he couldn't quite remember what the person looked like now, but he just thought he might as well give it a try by saying it out loud.

Shen Rujun had a cold face and frowned tightly. He threw the teacup in his hand directly to the ground, and a crisp sound could be heard immediately.

"Then you don't know what you mean? According to what you mean, I told the Third Prince that we are not sure who the person is at the moment?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, like the calm before a storm.

The store manager didn't dare to speak for a moment, and even a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

County Magistrate Yang was also feeling quite helpless, but he finally hurriedly stepped forward and let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shen, don't worry. I have already sent more people to investigate the situation in the past few days. I believe we will get some clues soon."

The smile on his face couldn't help but carry a hint of flattery, and he seemed to be a little afraid of Shen Rujun.

Shen Rujun has always been greedy. If he can't climb to a higher position, he will naturally be unwilling.

He had a cold face from beginning to end, and it is still the same now. There is a hint of smile in his eyes, but unfortunately there is no warmth in that smile.

"Then County Magistrate Yang must resolve this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not be able to report it to the higher-ups, and it will be difficult for you to handle it then."

It was just a light warning from him, but it carried a strong implication, and even with his slightly lowered brows, one could feel the hostility emanating from him.

County Magistrate Yang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, so he had to nod quickly and chuckle.

"Yes Yes Yes."

They are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If they are discovered by someone with ulterior motives, none of them will be able to escape.
