A cold light flashed in Shen Rujun's eyes. He slowly withdrew his gaze and spoke in an extremely heavy voice.

"It's not a difficult task. I just came to take a look at the situation and plan the next step."

His expression was very calm, with almost no fluctuation.

Seeing this, the guards did not say anything, but just sat quietly beside him, as if it was a little difficult to guess what he was thinking.

……

Gu Yan'an stayed in the government office, investigating the case at hand. He felt helpless in his heart, and then immediately shook his head slightly.

"The things you investigated are nothing more than trivial matters, and they are not very useful. How can I explain this to the emperor?"

His current situation is extremely complicated. If there is no useful clue before the arrival of the Third Prince, I am afraid they will all be in trouble.

Many of the guards lowered their heads, looking somewhat ashamed, and indeed failed to come up with any useful clues in a short period of time.

"These things of the prince are really too bizarre. We can't figure it out, but there are reasons for it. We are really helpless."

They would make excuses for themselves, which sounded a bit harsh.

Gu Yanan never thought of deliberately making things difficult for them. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he slowly lowered his eyes and responded softly.

"Send some more people to investigate carefully."

After hearing this, the guards all breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then immediately turned around and left.

Su Jinhua arrived late, looked at the backs of several people with deep eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Husband."

She seemed tired recently, but her eyes were so bright that people couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Hearing this, Gu Yan'an's eyes showed concern, his brows slightly frowned, and he responded softly.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I heard that the problem of bringing water from the mountain has been mostly solved. I believe it won't take many days to solve a major hidden danger for the people."

After all, this matter is too important for the people, and they must not be careless.

Su Jinhua has been going out early and coming back late every day recently, and he is almost always very tired, but at least he has gained something.

"The matter was resolved alright. I should have been responsible for it. My husband doesn't have to say these things."

Gu Yan'an didn't know how to ask the question for a moment, so he tactfully kept silent.

Seeing this, Su Jinhua smiled, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Recently, things in Gutian County have developed very suddenly. In my opinion, Shen Rujun might use some tricks to deal with the Third Prince during this period."

After all, he has been coming quite frequently in recent days, almost every day to check on their progress.

If this had never happened before, wouldn't it seem quite strange?

Gu Yanan felt a little worried in his heart, not knowing how to solve these problems, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"I heard from the secret guard that he went to the restaurant today, and everything else was normal."

These are just the third prince's properties and are of no big deal to them. But it is impossible for them to kill these people as they did in the past.

Su Jinhua felt more and more that something was not right. Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly locked together, and then she opened her mouth to respond.

"How could he go to that place out of nowhere? It's really strange."

It would have been fine in the past, but it seems abnormal now.

Hearing this, Gu Yan'an was confused and puzzled, and blinked his eyes slightly.

"We can only take it one step at a time. I have secretly already sent people to investigate to see if we can find any clues."

It can't be so ridiculous now, right?

If Shen Rujun really wants to take action, he still has to think about the reasons and angles.

Moreover, more personnel have been dispatched from Gutian County recently. If something really happened, they would know it immediately.

Su Jinhua always felt that something was wrong and couldn't feel at ease, so he just whispered orders.

"In the end, we should be more careful. He has always been a man with a heavy mind, and we can't figure it out. We are afraid that he will get us into trouble."

The emperor must have been very dissatisfied with the officials' affairs. If they were allowed to take advantage of the situation at this time, they would probably be beheaded.

Gu Yanan felt that the road ahead was becoming more and more difficult. He had no idea what to do next and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"It would be fine if the matter was simple, but it's not easy to deal with the Third Prince once he comes."

The two of them had their own guesses about the reasons, but Shen Rujun had already begun secretly planning his next move.

"Find out the guards' patrol times, and then we can burn down the underground casino."

At the very least, any suspicious evidence will disappear. For them, the losses will be minimized and everyone will be decent.

The guard seemed a little surprised, his brows furrowed, with disapproval in his eyes, and then he spoke.

"But this is really not a good idea. We haven't even explained this to the Third Prince yet. If we act blindly, it might be disadvantageous to us."

If they mess things up, it may not be as simple as one person's fault.

All of them would have to be buried together. They simply could not afford such a consequence.

Shen Rujun seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance. He sneered, put his hands behind his back, and frowned.

"You'd better put away your little thoughts. We are all jointly responsible for this matter. Do you think that if you don't do it, the Third Prince will let you go?"

You're just daydreaming!

If they could burn down the underground casino, even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find any clues, which would be a good thing for them.

The guard was still worried and didn't seem to agree with the idea. He just shook his head slightly.

"That's true, but it's hard to say. How can we completely burn down the underground casino?"

If it is just a short, small fire and is solved immediately, it will easily expose the matter.

Shen Rujun seemed to have already had an idea in his mind. With his hands behind his back, he slowly took out the pen from the table and wrote two words on the piece of paper.

Restaurant!

Hearing this, the guard's eyes widened and he shook his head subconsciously, with a hint of trepidation in his voice.

"This matter still needs to be considered carefully. Mr. Shen should think twice before acting!"

If it really burned down, it would probably cut off the Third Prince's left and right arms, and then he would vent his anger on them, and no one could bear it.

Shen Rujun still did not waver at all, he just raised his eyelids slightly and asked.

"If not, do you have a better solution?"
