Murong Ci smiled, and took a sip of the tea,

"It's not bad, not bad at all.

It's refreshing and sweet, a good tea."

"Your Royal Highness, are you here under the order of Your Majesty to inspect?"

Master Wang Tao asked with a smile.

"The Emperor Father asked me to come here and take a look.

This Prince thought that, with Master Wan and Master Wang here taking care of the Military Supervisor Facility, what is there to look at?

You have more than ten years of experience in the Military Supervisor Facility, so I can't be more assured."

Murong Ci said with a smile,

"After the Emperor Father told me to come,

I came yesterday, but halfway through, I met a dead person, and that person was Zhou Huai, your Chief here.

This Prince felt uneasy afterwards, so I simply returned to the city yesterday."

"Your Highness' words of trust honor us.

Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

Master Wan Fang bowed and thanked her, performing politely.

"Speaking of Chief Zhou Huai, Master Wang, do you know what happened?

How could he die on that road not far from the Military Supervisor Facility?"

"Your Royal Highness, this Official knows a little bit.

Chief Zhou Huai was the most upright and honest person I knew.

In the past few years in the Military Supervisor Facility, he worked hard every day and made a lot of contributions for the Military Supervisor Facility.

In the past two years, he somehow became obsessed with betting.

And also surreptitiously obsessed with gambling, always keeping his family members from finding out, and begging these Officials and others not to tell anyone about it."

Master Wang Tao said in one breath,

"A month ago, he lost three hundred taels of silver in the Gambling Hall, and his wife secretly followed him and found it out.

He said that his fierce wife threatened him to drive him out of the house.

This Official and others borrowed dozens of silver for him and asked him to use them to repay his debts in the Gambling Hall.

But as he did, the thugs in the Gambling Hall came three days later to collect debts from both ends, and they actually killed Chief Zhou Huai yesterday when he was out on errands."

"It had been hard to see our colleague struggle every day and in the end he died like this.

Life is really impermanent."

Master Wang Tao sighed heavily,

"Chief Zhou was addicted to gambling, and he lost his life in the end because of it.

It can be seen that these kinds of Gambling Hall are really untouchable.

Your Highness, although Chief Zhou made a mistake in the end, but he had been serving in the Military Supervisor Facility for so long, and I hope that Your Highness will see that at any rate he was worthy and hardworking man.

I hope he'll be reminded as that and not for his foolish things after his death."

"I see...

No wonder that when this Prince saw Chief Zhou yesterday, he was full of regret, tears, and said those words."

Murong Ci and Qin Ruo looked at each other and hissed.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao asked in unison, quite anxious.

"He said something about gambling...and that he wasted his whole life.

I didn't understand what he meant at first yesterday.

After you said this, I finally understood everything."

She said heartily.

"It is indeed a wasted life and such a pity."

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Ruo reminded:

"Your Highness, didn't Your Majesty say to go to the workshop to have a look?"

Murong Ci patted her forehead,

"Yes, I almost forgot.

The Emperor Father told me to go to the workshop and factory to inspect around.

Master Wan, Master Wang, why don't you show me around the place?"

How could Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao refuse?

They guided His Highness to the Facility, walking to the workshop behind.

The workshop was so large that it couldn't be seen it all at a glance, and it was divided into different manufacturing areas.

The craftsmen all worked hard in small groups, and when they saw His Highness followed by the two Superintendents coming, they bowed and then immediately returned to work again.

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao enthusiastically introduced what was made here and there, and what kind of weapon it was.

Their flattering faces were kind of disgusting.

After going around the whole place, nothing weird was found.

Even if you think about it, these refined people were so careful not to show any clues or leave out any superficial weirdness.

As soon as they came out of the workshop, they saw a person sitting in the Main Hall, drinking tea leisurely:

It was Murong Yu.
