They were talking in the study, their voices neither too loud nor too soft, and the figure on the roof could hear it clearly. After listening, he turned around and left quietly.

At this time, Liu Dashan also had the account book in his hand. He quietly came to the yamen and entered through the window.

As soon as he entered, Gu Yan'an's eyes lit up and he pushed the wheelchair forward in a low voice.

"Can you find any useful clues?"

The matter of the underground casino was too serious and they could not afford to make any mistakes, so they had to investigate it step by step.

Liu Dashan put down what he was holding, his face looked quite solemn, and his thin lips were pursed into a line.

"The underground casino business is too complicated. It is more difficult than we thought."

Only when you really explore it in depth, you will know the hardships involved, which are really not something that ordinary people can accept.

Gu Yan'an frowned, staring at the account book in his hand, feeling increasingly cold in his heart.

"It seems that they are really not afraid of death. They even dare to do such a thing."

This is a real account book. It clearly records how much money everyone has embezzled and how it came from. One month is equivalent to half a year's worth of the national treasury.

It is conceivable how much money they make and how they usually oppress the people.

Liu Dashan's expression was also extremely heavy. The pressure in his heart had been increasing during this period. He was used to seeing the people suffer and sometimes felt unable to help.

"These people are extremely reckless and have always been reckless. They can do anything for money."

Gu Yanan moved his gaze to his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but the smile on his face was heavy.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I am also in the process of further negotiations regarding the underground casino, but the progress is a bit difficult at the moment."

Both of them felt quite helpless, as if they didn't know where to start. Fortunately, this account book was indeed a key thing and must not be discovered by others.

Liu Dashan talked in detail about the casino before turning around and leaving.

As soon as he left, the secret guard walked slowly inside from the door and immediately told Gu Yanan what he had heard.

"Shen Rujun has already convinced Lin Dan, and Shen Rujun is now aware of the cooperation between the adults and us."

He hid very secretly and didn't let them notice anything unusual, so they could see every move they made.

Gu Yanan didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly, and he was a little surprised.

"It seems that not only are our people secretly observing every move of Gutian County, but the Third Prince is also paying attention to our every word and action."

Although his tone was calm, one could hear the coldness in his voice.

The secret guard did not speak, but stayed beside him silently with his brows slightly lowered.

The study was extremely quiet, the lights were dim, and even a needle dropping on the ground could make a crisp sound.

Gu Yanan was sorting out the account books in his hands. He didn't say anything, but just stared at the things at hand silently. However, he could inexplicably feel the coldness around him.

……

Su Jinhua did interact with them these days, but otherwise stayed in the house and didn't want to go out.

Zhuying told him all the news she had found out. She secretly guessed in her heart that something was wrong.

"Princess, Shen Rujun has been meeting with Lin Dan frequently these days. I'm afraid the two of them are secretly planning something. It's not a simple matter."

Lord Lin only has a few children. Lin Dan is the only daughter in the family, so she is naturally more spoiled. She usually doesn't take anyone seriously.

Hearing this, Su Jinhua always felt something was strange. A faint light flashed across his eyes, and then he pursed his thin lips slightly.

"It seems that this matter is not simple. Shen Rujun might want to use Lin Dan to do something."

They have spent a lot of effort in this period of time to confuse them, and they can't let them cooperate again.

Zhuying observed carefully, but she still couldn't know the specific content, and she felt a little distressed.

"The specific situation has not been investigated yet, but it doesn't look like a good thing."

Su Jinhua had met Lin Dan before and had some dealings with him. She tapped the table lightly, making a series of noises, and then spoke.

"You pretend to sneak in and tell Lin Dan that Shen Rujun is not a good person. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it."

Speaking of which, Lin Dan is a woman with a simple mind. It would be really wrong if she were used by someone with ulterior motives.

Zhuying nodded slowly, agreed immediately, then turned and left.

After a while, Gu Yan'an finished his work and slowly returned to the room. As soon as he came in, he felt the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

He raised his eyes and looked at Su Jinhua who was sitting in the middle, and asked subconsciously.

"what happened?"

Hearing this, Su Jinhua, who never hid anything from Gu Yanan, naturally told him the whole story, and then felt a little emotional.

"Shen Rujun is quite good at this. He knows how to win over Lin Dan."

No one knows what the two are going to do, but there are some guesses.

Gu Yanan's expression was calm, his dark eyes were deep, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"He just wants to know what happened between us. Last time I drank with them, I could tell they were reluctant and had no choice."

But they couldn't tell the third prince about this matter, otherwise, his head would be shed. It would be uncomfortable to keep it secret from both sides.

Shen Rujun was quite cunning and knew how to win over Lin Dan. He seemed to have guessed it long ago and was not surprised when he heard it.

Su Jinhua's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and finally shook her head, taking out the acupuncture needle as usual, while speaking.

"This job is really difficult. I don't know why the emperor chose you."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, but she didn't complain at all.

Gu Yanan naturally felt a little guilty in his heart. He pursed his thin lips and said something in a low voice.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have to suffer here with me."

Everything here is not as good as Kyoto, and it has brought them a lot of trouble. It is not a good thing to have to be alert to face everyone every day.

Hearing this, Su Jinhua didn't care. He shrugged slightly and responded softly while doing acupuncture.

"I can feel more at ease if I follow my husband. At least I can treat your leg, so I won't have to worry if you come alone in Kyoto."

Even if she didn't want to come, the eldest princess would never agree. It would be better for her to agree and put herself in a passive situation.

Gu Yanan observed her every move, a warm feeling slowly flowed through his heart, and his eyes fluctuated.

"You are different from other women."

He has a leg injury now and has a lot of things to do. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have rejected him long ago.
