Gu Yan'an had a solemn expression, his brows were furrowed, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

"Let the doctor take a look at your injuries first. I'll send someone to investigate."

Hearing this, Shen Rujun's body trembled slightly, and he immediately nodded in agreement. His eyes seemed dazed, and he raised his legs and walked forward.

Gu Yanan sat in a wheelchair with an extremely serious expression, his brows slightly gloomy and his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"This matter is extremely serious. Everyone, listen to my orders. From today on, patrol the city. If you find anything suspicious, report to me immediately!"

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely serious, like the calm before a storm.

None of the guards spoke, but the atmosphere was extremely serious. Some of them had red eyes and were unable to utter a word.

After watching them leave, Gu Yan'an returned to the room and spoke in a low voice.

"Go investigate and see if there are any survivors."

The secret guard immediately nodded in agreement, then turned and left, and the study room suddenly became quiet.

The door creaked and Su Jinhua walked in slowly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape, and her words were filled with worry.

"What can we do now? Several officials have been killed. I'm afraid Shen Rujun has something to do with this."

It's really strange, how come only one person survived?

There was hardly any fluctuation in Gu Yanan's brows, his dark eyes were as calm as water, and he sneered.

"It's probably just the Third Prince's own acting. He has been busy with the people's affairs and has neglected them."

Causing such a large-scale massacre and even burning down the house, the act was truly bold and cruel.

Su Jinhua's expression was also serious, and for a moment he seemed to not know how to respond.

However, at this time, County Magistrate Yang was breathing weakly, with a knife stuck in his chest, his body was shaking slightly, and his breathing was extremely light, like a dead person.

The secret guard paid special attention and immediately picked him up, then turned around and left quietly.

The news of Furuta County spread to Kyoto overnight and became known to almost every household.

"They are both being punished. They must have done a lot of things that let the people down in their lifetime. As the saying goes, evil will be punished."

It is impossible for him to end up in such a miserable way. It was just an accident. I am afraid there is another hidden story behind it.

The emperor's brows were tightly furrowed. In the court, his expression was extremely solemn and his eyes were cold.

"Do you have any thoughts on the matter of Gutian County?"

The news spread so quickly that many officials already knew about it, but no one dared to say anything.

Zhao Wenxuan had already received the news, and hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes falling on Zhao Moxuan's face, revealing a vague doubt.

"I think my third brother knows the most about this matter. Why not let him answer it?"

The court was extremely quiet; one could almost hear the sound of a pin drop.

Hearing this, Zhao Moxuan's face turned cold. He slowly took a step forward and asked directly.

"Brother, what does this mean? What does this have to do with me?"

No one dared to speak before, they just observed silently, no one wanted to get involved.

The emperor's expression was also extremely solemn, and he seemed a little puzzled, and tapped the table lightly.

"Wenxuan, what do you mean by that?"

The discord between the three princes has been going on for a long time, but this matter is so serious that it might be inappropriate to talk about it casually.

Zhao Wenxuan took out some evidence he had collected some time ago from his sleeve and slowly placed it in the palm of his hand.

His smile became more arrogant, with the corners of his mouth rising.

"It just so happened that a friend went to Gutian County some time ago and discovered something. Your Majesty, you might want to take a look."

The official became more and more curious, and everyone looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

A cold light flashed across Zhao Moxuan's eyes. He didn't say anything for a while, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

Seeing this, the eunuch immediately stepped forward and handed the letter to the emperor.

The emperor appeared and unfolded the letter. Looking at the contents inside, his expression became more and more solemn. He immediately placed the letter in his hand on the table.

"It seems that the situation in Gutian County is really critical. Gu Yanan alone may not be able to handle it."

Especially during the period of jurisdiction, such a big crisis could happen, which is worth pondering.

Zhao Wenxuan achieved his goal. He immediately took a few steps forward, his face serious, and spoke in a serious manner.

"That's why I said, why not let Third Brother take care of this matter? After all, he has already sent people to check the situation, so he must be more familiar with it than us."

No one knew the contents of the letter except Zhao Wenxuan and the emperor.

Zhao Moxuan's face was heavy, his dark eyes were slightly gloomy, and he blinked.

"It just happened that some of my properties were in Gutian County, so I sent someone to check it out. I didn't expect that my second brother would misunderstand me like this."

He had completely washed his hands of himself.

Zhao Wenxuan naturally couldn't stand his expression and spoke on purpose.

"I don't think so. Your people are in Gutian County. How could you not know about such a big thing?"

In the court, undercurrents were surging and the atmosphere was tense. Everyone's faces changed drastically and they all had their own guesses in their minds.

Zhao Moxuan looked annoyed, his brows furrowed, and he responded in a cold voice.

"You don't have to pick on me and make things difficult for me."

Look at what he said, isn't he angry?

Zhao Jinyu immediately spoke up to stop the two of them, as if afraid that they would quarrel again, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"My second brother is just guessing, why are you so excited?"

He is quite good at fanning the flames.

Zhao Moxuan's face turned slightly cold and he sneered.

"Brother, please stop making sarcastic remarks. You two are talking back and forth. Aren't you just putting me on the fire?"

If you want to get rid of this matter, you may have to pay a heavy price.

The emperor frowned and slapped the table heavily with an extremely serious expression.

"Alright, alright, how can you make a scene in public?"

This is not the first time I've seen this kind of drama, but it happens every time, which is bound to make people irritated.

Everyone was afraid to speak, and the emperor became more and more impatient and spoke loudly.

"We've discussed this for a long time but haven't come to a conclusion. What's the point of having you?"

Just when everyone was afraid to step forward, Minister Lin slowly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and spoke with respect.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be left to me to handle. I have been paying attention to Gutian County for many days, and I am sure I can help the people solve their problems!"

What he said was true. He did conduct secret investigations and was quite knowledgeable.

Hearing this, the emperor did not speak for a while. His thin lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes revealed hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhao Moxuan immediately stepped forward and expressed his position.

"Father, why don't you let me handle this matter? It might be more appropriate."

The princes have always actively participated in these matters, and they are eager to stand out and attract the emperor's attention so that they can be entrusted with important tasks.
