The old man suddenly burst into tears, lay on the ground with the silver in his hands, and couldn't help crying.

His skin was very dark, and even his lips were peeling. He was extremely thin and looked like he had been hungry for a long time.

Seeing this, Gu Yanan was slightly moved, and he just waved his hand subconsciously, revealing his concern in his words.

"Go back and keep this money safe. Don't let anyone else take it."

The surrounding environment is already bad, and everyone is living in extreme poverty now. I guess they can do anything.

The old man naturally understood, and immediately nodded in agreement, his eyes full of gratitude and tears sparkling in his eyes.

"Thank you, sir. You are such a good person. With you, Gutian County will surely regain its former glory."

Back then, this place was a Feng Shui treasure land and everyone wanted to get involved, but now no one dares to have any contact with them and treats them like rats in a stinking ditch.

Gu Yan'an did not respond with a smile, but just nodded slowly and said something.

"Most definitely."

After waiting for things here to be dealt with, Shen Rujun seemed somewhat enthusiastic and spoke immediately.

"Sir, since we are here, why don't we go down and see what it is?"

He is so confident, it seems that he has buried these things long ago.

Gu Yanan did not expose it. A light flashed in his dark eyes. The corners of his mouth slowly raised up and he nodded gently.

"Okay, let's go over and see what it is."

Several guards dug up all the soil and saw something like a lid. Someone was worried and had to go down and pull him up.

As soon as you open it, you can smell a strong smell of fermented wine underneath. You can tell that it has been stored for a long time.

Gu Yanan seemed a little surprised, his eyebrows slightly raised, and there was doubt in his voice.

"It's really strange. How can anyone come to make wine when they can't even afford to eat?"

If it were an ordinary thing, it would be fine, but the fact that there is a wine cellar here is really intriguing.

Shen Rujun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When he heard this, he put his hands behind his back and then spoke.

"I guess some nobleman likes to drink, so he was buried here completely."

For all this, we have to thank Lord Lin. What he loves most in his life is wine, and he has hidden a lot of it here for a long time since early morning.

Everyone around knows it, and everyone just turns a blind eye.

Anyway, they just take up some space and are of no use to them.

Seeing this, Gu Yanan withdrew his gaze indifferently, nodded slightly, and then responded.

"It's okay."

He finished his words and then changed the subject.

"By the way, I heard that the Third Prince is coming to Gutian County. I wonder when he will arrive?"

The deaths of officials are still a mystery to this day, and everyone finds it strange. The people have not been given an explanation for these yet.

If the third prince came to Gutian County, it would probably be extremely difficult and things would be difficult to resolve. Everyone was extremely nervous.

Shen Rujun couldn't figure out what he meant, and didn't dare to answer rashly, so she spoke slowly and evasively.

"How can I guess what will happen to the Third Prince? If he can come, it must be during this period of time. We don't need to rush."

If the third prince comes, I'm afraid that given his status and position, he will be able to walk around Gutian County with his free will.

Gu Yanan didn't want to let him go, and his emotions were unclear in his words.

"You are so modest. Everyone knows that you are a favorite of the Third Prince. If the Third Prince comes, I will have to curry favor with you."

Although the crowd did not seem to show curiosity, they all pricked up their ears as if they wanted to hear something.

Shen Rujun narrowed his eyes dangerously, his mouth corners slightly twitched, and his hands rested behind his back.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words and actions. I am only assisting the Third Prince. How can I possibly surpass you, Your Highness?"

The disparity between the two people's identities and status is too great, they are not even in the same league.

Many guards in the city were secretly trying to curry favor with Gu Yanan. If Shen Rujun had not brought the Third Prince's men with him, it would have been extremely difficult for her to gain a foothold here.

Gu Yan'an just chuckled slightly, then shook his head slowly, and sat in the wheelchair, but nothing could conceal his temperament.

"That's really interesting."

His words were ambiguous and everyone around him was confused. Shen Rujun was panicking but did not say anything.

……

The underground casino incident was a big deal, and Su Jinhua happened to know about it. He had some vague guesses in his mind, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"How could the Third Prince swallow his anger and endure this matter?"

She took a sip of tea and then placed the cup on the table.

"I think Shen Rujun will have a hard time explaining this time."

Hearing this, Gu Yanan thought of what happened today and felt that some people were cruel and ruthless. They never cared about the feelings of others and even regarded the lives of the people as straw.

"Those people are just trying to achieve their own goals. I'm afraid Shen Rujun will have further actions."

The Third Prince will never let go of any flaws, and his methods are cruel. If this cannot be resolved beautifully and a satisfactory answer cannot be given, everyone will naturally be dissatisfied.

I'm afraid that even if Shen Rujun survives, it will be a stretch and he won't be valued in the future.

Su Jinhua tapped the table lightly with his fingers, a trace of worry flashed through his mind, and then he nodded slightly.

"I just don't know what he will do next. He doesn't even care about the lives of the people. I'm afraid he will kill everyone like he did last time."

Last time they were negligent and did not get accurate information. If the same thing happens this time, I am afraid the emperor will not let them off easily.

Gu Yanan had been observing them secretly for a long time and even sent someone to insert themselves next to them. If they were careless again this time, it would mean that they had been exposed to the other party's view.

"This situation shouldn't happen. I have added a group of troops, all of whom will be added to the soldiers in Gutian County. Their every move is under my watch."

After finding these officials, they are indeed under more pressure, but at least dealing with one person is always easier than dealing with a group of people.

Su Jinhua didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he just shook his head slowly.

"But I always feel a little panic in my heart, afraid that this will not go as I wish."

This task is really difficult. If they were not concerned about these people, they would probably not have sunk so deep into the swamp and been unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

But standing in this position, if you don’t do something for the people, then I’m afraid you are not worthy of this position. Everyone has difficulties in their hearts.
