Shen Rujun's face looked a little ugly, his thin lips were pursed into a line, and he seemed to not know how to respond.

The people around him also treated it as air. At least some people paid attention to him. They just finished the food in their hands, rested for a while, and then started working again.

Su Jinhua didn't have time to pay attention to it. He just lowered his head to look at the drawings to see if they could be improved.

Seeing this, Shen Rujun blinked slightly and spoke softly.

"Princess, is there anything I can help you with?"

He is not responsible for these matters, but these officials have died mysteriously. If he does not come out and do something at this time, it would be unreasonable.

Su Jinhua sneered in his heart but did not show it on the surface. He just shook his head slowly and then spoke.

"You can't help much here, so just leave now."

The task of bringing water from the mountain is too important. If something goes wrong, it will be a huge loss for the entire project. We must not be careless.

Shen Rujun is now like a transparent person. No one wants to pay attention to him. They are all busy with their own things and seem to not want to pay attention to him.

I don’t know how long it took, but he left quietly and no one around him noticed.

When he returned to the carriage, his face was extremely gloomy and he immediately sneered.

"No one in this entire Gutian County takes me seriously. I am so arrogant!"

He felt a rage in his heart that couldn't be dissipated. He always felt as if it was stuck in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.

The guard sat beside him and spoke words of comfort.

"They are just ordinary people. Why do you take it so seriously?"

They are all the Third Prince's men. Wouldn't it be a loss of status if I were to pursue this matter with them?

Besides, Shen Rujun didn't create any value for them in the first place, so it was only natural that he wasn't respected.

"The most important thing now is that we have to quickly figure out how to clean up this mess so that we can have an explanation when the Third Prince comes."

Time is running out, and the Third Prince is in great difficulty. Everyone is distressed, and some things cannot be said openly.

When Shen Rujun thought about this shabby underground casino, and how glorious it was in the past, and how run down it was now, he let out a long sigh.

"That's easy to say. We haven't found the store manager yet, and now these things have happened. It's naturally difficult to solve them!"

He was naturally melancholy in his heart, but he was in a passive state from beginning to end. How could it be easy to solve the problem?

The guard stood beside him, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and finally shook his head slowly.

"Then what should we do?"

They are all on the same boat. If the boat capsizes, I'm afraid everyone will be in trouble.

A sudden idea flashed through Shen Rujun's mind, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"In that case, let's go to the restaurant and take a look."

Although this restaurant cannot compare to an underground casino, it is still profitable after all, and many dignitaries are still willing to come here to consume.

The most important thing is that this place is full of decadence and extravagance. Every girl is young and beautiful, and all their talents are provided for the entertainment of the old men, and they also enjoy it.

As soon as Shen Rujun walked in, the shopkeeper came out to greet him immediately with a smile in his eyes and asked respectfully.

"How come Mr. Shen has time to come here today?"

His attitude was very good, his waist was bent the whole time, and you could hear the flattering tone in his words.

Hearing this, Shen Rujun's brows relaxed slightly, and the anger he had just felt seemed to have disappeared. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he spoke.

"Just came to see how the business is going in the store."

In fact, he seldom comes to restaurants and basically goes to underground casinos. After all, the income gap between the two is too huge.

As soon as you enter, you can hear the sounds of laughter and joy inside. The official's death still has no effect on these uncles, and they even have a great reputation here.

Rich people from several surrounding counties would also come here to try it out occasionally, and the effect was quite good.

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face and couldn't help but sound proud in his words.

"Our business is pretty good. We have made a lot of money recently. If you have time, Mr. Shen, I will show you the account book."

He was in charge of a lot of money and he knew the amount of it, with a smile on his face.

Shen Rujun looked deep in the eyes, nodded slightly, a satisfied expression on his face, and subconsciously praised.

"You are quite responsible and are really good in every aspect. I feel relieved to leave it to you."

He walked all the way to the innermost compartment, which was usually the room used by the third prince.

Almost all the dignitaries have never been inside, and the interior does not look simple at all. On the contrary, it feels very expensive everywhere.

It's obvious at first glance that someone takes good care of it and cleans it from time to time in case of emergency.

Shen Rujun showed satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded slightly and asked.

"Has the store encountered any difficulties recently?"

He didn't come here often, so he naturally couldn't find any problems. In addition, the store had good profits, so he didn't put much thought into it.

The shopkeeper's mouth corners slowly curled up, revealing a faint smile on his face. He put the account book that had been prepared long ago into his hands, and couldn't help but speak with pride.

"Our business has been good from beginning to end, and there is nothing wrong with it. These dignitaries are willing to come and support us."

The flowers they play with here are basically all kinds of flowers that are available on the market or not. Everyone knows about them. Some people are curious, and some people like them.

Shen Rujun nodded, looked at the account book in his hand, and felt extremely satisfied. Then he spoke.

"The Third Prince will be here in a few days. You have to hurry up during this period and make sure you don't make any mistakes."

The third prince seldom came to Gutian County, and most of the time he just took a hurried look. It seemed that this time, the matter was very big.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper did not refuse, but immediately nodded in agreement with a faint smile on his face.

"This is natural. We will prepare well and see how the situation turns out."

He was laughing heartily, his eyes slightly curved, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Shen Rujun nodded with satisfaction, and then pretended to look around the restaurant. It must be said that the overall situation was quite good.

They returned to the carriage, and the guard also felt something was strange, so he plucked up the courage to ask.

"Mr. Shen, why do you have time to come here today?"

Every move here is under their eyes, so it is not that they are unaware of these things, so it would be a waste of time to come here.
