"Of course I trust you, but you can't keep working hard for me. You have been fighting against those powerful Japanese pirates on horseback since you were a child. I don't want you to be so tired anymore. You can train Huang Zijun, Xu Yu and others, so you don't have to do it yourself."
Rong Zhen knew that his brother was concerned about his health, but he didn't take it seriously. Thinking of the matter of Bai Shuqiu, he raised his eyes and said, "Some time ago, the Grand Chancellor tried to win over this minister.
He wants me to be on the same side with him, which shows how ambitious he is. I also found out that Mr. Xie Changming's gambling house and horse training camp are joint ventures with foreign businessmen to run some small businesses in the city, but the accounts are so huge that it is no exaggeration to say that they are rich enough to rival a country."
Rong Zhen has been checking their accounts, and the wealth is enough to train a new army.
"I understand. You should pretend to be friendly with them first, but you must not cause any trouble."
Rong Zhen suppressed the uneasiness rising in his heart and said hesitantly, "But I heard that Bai Shuqiu was killed by an assassin on the way back to Beijing."
"What? Have you found the murderer?"
"No. But it's hard not to associate this matter with me." Rong Zhen was afraid that all his previous efforts would be destroyed in an instant, and he felt indescribable sadness in his heart.
"Who do you suspect?"
The emperor continued to ask. Rong Zhen was suspicious and said, "I don't have any suspects yet, but this matter involves many people. Maybe the Grand Chancellor is also impatient to take action. He wanted to test my intentions, but he didn't expect that he might lose his composure."
"Hearing what you said, I also find it strange. How could such a meticulous person like the Grand Chancellor make such a mistake? This matter must be investigated again."
"yes."
After coming out of Ruyi Inn, Gu Yunru and Cheng Shaoyuan went to the entrance of the casino together.
This time, Gu Yunru had put on a mustache, looking like a traveling merchant.
"I came here last time. If I wasn't dressed like this, they would have recognized me." Gu Yunru shrugged and looked at Qingxing beside him, who also put on a hat. They were both dressed as Hu people. Hu people like to come to Beijing to do business, and it is perfect for them to dress like this.
Gu Yunru also dressed Cheng Shaoyuan up like them, so that they could pretend that they were three brothers who came here together to try their luck, which was not impossible.
"Why can't you go in openly every time you investigate a case? Instead, you have to spy on the information like this. This is really too inefficient."
Cheng Shaoyuan vaguely felt that this was becoming her style. When would they be able to find out the truth? "Well, forget about it for now. Let's go in and take a look around. If we don't find anything, it won't be too late to bring someone to investigate."
Gu Yunru shrugged indifferently. Investigating a case is not only a physical job, but also a mental job.
"Wait a minute, Master..." Qing Xing watched the two men walking in with their heads held high, and hurriedly chased after them, shouting.
The casino is still as lively as ever, but the faces here have changed again and again.
"Hey, sir, please come in. There are new rooms." The waiter came over with a fawning look on his face. He looked at the two people and felt that they looked unfamiliar, yet familiar. He couldn't remember where he had seen them before in a day.
"Let's just take a look."
Gu Yunru was too lazy to pay attention to the attentive waiter. She still remembered that the waiter gave her bad advice last time and wanted to sell all the gold, silver and jade items on her body.
"Then you can look around at will. If you need anything, call me immediately and I will be there for you." The waiter laughed and left.
"Master, how can we investigate a case if we dress like this?" Qingxing followed behind Gu Yunru, complaining in a low voice.
"You're backing out before it even starts? Why don't you go back first?" Gu Yunru was annoyed that someone came and made sarcastic remarks about her when she was full of confidence.
It would be better for her to investigate the case alone, so that she can be more free.
"I won't talk anymore..." Qingxing shut her mouth obediently.
Cheng Shaoyuan looked at the surrounding environment. The crime scene had been almost cleaned up and the relevant people involved had been taken to the government office. However, no one admitted that it was their fists that killed Ding Liuer. After all, there were so many people involved. Besides, the law does not hold everyone responsible.
"Did the coroner find out what kind of poison it is?" Gu Yunru leaned close to him curiously and asked carefully. Several guests who came out of the private room didn't know what to do.
"Not yet, but it's related to the Western Region Toxin. It must be related to the people from outside."
Cheng Shaoyuan made the conclusion with great confidence, as if he was there at the scene.
"You are taking it too seriously. However, Ding Liuer owes the casino so much money. If someone in the casino wants to kill him, it would be easy."

Gu Yunru walked in front of Cheng Shaoyuan and carefully rethought the case.
"This Ding Liuer doesn't have any other relatives or friends in Beijing, but he must have a lot of bad friends in the gambling house. Why don't we catch one and ask him."
Gu Yunru felt that this method was the fastest and it was not as inefficient as he said.
"kindness."
After asking around, it turned out that Gousheng was the only good friend of Ding Liuer, and that Ding Liuer owed Gousheng a large sum of money. Gu Yunru put the purse in Gousheng's hand. There were few people around, and she stared at him seriously.
"We paid back the money Ding Liuer owed you."
Gu Yunru crossed her arms in front of her chest with a generous look on her face. Gousheng was so happy looking at the heavy silver bag that the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
Looking at these merchants from other places, he frowned curiously, "Who is Liu Erzi to you? He is so generous that he paid off all his debts for him."
"Don't worry about that. Tell us who he offended recently and how he died."
Cheng Shaoyuan asked the question directly and straightforwardly, which shocked her. She wondered if such a straightforward way of asking questions would make the other party feel wary.
“Although Liu Erzi and I were good friends, he was a notorious scoundrel, so it’s not surprising that he was killed.
As for those who want to harm him, there are too many. If you walk around the gambling house, you will find that many people hate him and are in debt to him. "
Gousheng, the only good friend, had such a derogatory evaluation of Liu Er, which shows how badly Ding Liu Er is popular among people.
