The fake young lady, who was mistakenly swapped at birth into the Changping Marquisate, insisted on leaving the Marquisate to return home and become a village girl. The entire capital waited to see...
"Your Highness, everything has been arranged. You can call someone over."
"Go ahead."
Not long after, loud shouts were heard downstairs. My mother ran upstairs with a group of people and surrounded Mr. Liu, crying loudly.
"What should we do? How could you die suddenly out of nowhere? Xiaohong, quickly report this to the police. This has nothing to do with us. Master Liu shouldn't be lingering here if he's not in good health!"
"yes."
Several people started to work, but Gu Yunni was the only one shivering and huddled in the corner.
The mother got angry and hit Gu Yunni.
It looked scary on the surface, but Gu Yunni didn't feel much pain because of the clothes.
"You jinx! How did you serve Master Liu? How did you end up killing him? I think you're done for. If the Liu family wants someone to pay with their life, get out!"
"Mom, save me! I really don't know anything. He had just taken two sips of wine and just as Master Liu and I were about to lie down, he collapsed. I was so scared!"
Sheng Mingyu hid in the crowd and watched the scene.
"If someone dies in your bed, it's your fault! Anyway, you won't have any business if you stay in the brothel, and you might even delay my business. I'll let the government take you away later."
The mother acted as if she would not listen to reason and had Gu Yunni tied up.
Gu Yunni was crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, which made several onlookers feel distressed, but no one dared to approach her.
He has already brought misfortune to others, so it would be a shame if I also died on this bed.
In the blink of an eye, the officials came and looked at the Imperial Master and Sheng Mingyu standing in the crowd, as well as the arrested Gu Yunni, and were a little confused.
He reacted promptly and had Gu Yunni taken away.
The brothel was in a mess, all the customers had left, and my mother sat at the door cursing.
At the same time, the Liu family hung up a white cloth, and the second young master of the Liu family brought a group of people to the brothel to cause trouble, but found that the place was already empty.
When he led his men to the county government office, he was stopped outside by the governor.
"Second Young Master, please think carefully about what you are doing today. I don't care about other things, but if you make trouble at the government office, it will be a big deal. I will no longer give face to the Liu family and will directly detain you."
The governor's tone was cold. No matter how stupid he was, he could see Sheng Mingyu's plan.
The Liu family is finished, and it's time for him to choose a side.
"You! Governor, you are so powerful! When my father was alive, he gave you a lot of silver and sent you lots of good things. He was killed by a woman, but you don't let me take revenge, but instead block me from entering. What's the meaning of this?"
The second young master was so angry that his face turned blue and he pointed at the governor and cursed him.
He had the same character as Mr. Liu. He frequented brothels for years, doing all kinds of bad things outside and persecuting many decent women. He was notorious.
If Master Liu had not been there to clean up the mess for him, he would have been arrested long ago. Master Liu died today, and he was the one who was most affected.
"Master Liu died suddenly in a brothel. What does that have to do with that girl? Besides, I've already captured that woman and will execute her at a later date. There's no need for Young Master Liu to avenge her personally. Who knows what you're going to do in jail? I can't let you in."
The governor did not back down. Not to mention that he was on Sheng Mingyu's side, even if he was not, he would not dare to put anyone in jail.
Everyone has been taken away. What can Young Master Liu see when he goes in?
"Alright! Ziwen! Your father is dead, you should accept the reality. Why bother to bring this to the Governor? Don't forget, our Liu family still depends on the Governor for survival. If you make a scene too ugly, the family will not forgive you."
Young Master Liu came over with a group of people, with a dark look in his eyes.
"You are all bad people! Big brother! He is also your father, why don't you ever feel sorry for him?"
The second son of the Liu family was so angry that his eyes turned red. He pointed the stick in his hand at the first son of the Liu family and shed tears.
"The Second Young Master has gone crazy! Someone, take the Second Young Master back and lock him up in the yard. Don't let him out."
The eldest young master spoke in a cold tone. After everyone left, he smiled symbolically at the governor before turning and leaving.
The governor returned trembling, his face pale.
"Have you dealt with the situation outside? Did Young Master Liu II make a scene? If he has caused you any trouble, you might as well put him in jail. Young Master Liu won't mind."
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni sat in the hall of the county government office. Looking at the governor's appearance, a smile appeared on their lips.
"I wonder if the young master has always been cold and aloof since he was a child, as if he doesn't care much about this family? Whether it's his father's death or something related to the second young master, he always looks indifferent."
The governor nodded and started complaining to Sheng Mingyu.
He hadn't seen such a cruel person in many years and was still a little panicked.
"Just take care of yourself. Don't spread what happened today. Find a way to solve it later. I'm leaving now."
Sheng Mingyu didn't say much and left with Gu Yunni.
He was attracted to Young Master Liu at that time because he was cold-hearted and had no regard for his family at all.
"Who should we deal with next? Where should we start? Is the brothel okay? Will it be closed because of this? That news..."
Gu Yunni sat in the carriage, let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
Back then, Sheng Mingyu must have put in a lot of effort to spread his information network across Jiangnan.
It's a shame that it was pulled out so easily.
"It's nothing. Mom has been in Jiangnan for many years and has many repeat customers. It won't be cut off just like that. It will be back to normal in about a month."
"That'll do."
Sheng Mingyu softened up. He had already arranged everything. If the business couldn't be held here, he could find another place.
Gu Yunni breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
"How should we deal with Boss Zhang? Have you found any potential cloth merchants? Everyone says he's ruthless and cruel. If there's no reliable person behind the cloth merchant, he'll probably be swallowed up."
When talking about serious matters, Gu Yunni looked serious, but the next part was the most difficult.
"I haven't thought about it yet!" Sheng Mingyu shook his head silently, looking embarrassed.
"If it really doesn't work, we can only do it secretly. We don't necessarily have to find a cloth merchant."
His eyes were cold and he stared straight ahead.
In front, Boss Zhang was walking out of the restaurant with his men.
Just because his subordinate was one step ahead of him, he had already pinned him to the ground and beat him.
"I'll go down and take a look!" Gu Yunni's face looked grim, and she was about to rush out of the carriage in a hurry.
"Don't go. The people under him are not good people. Evil will be punished by evil. There is no need to dirty your hands."
"Can……"
"Don't worry!" Sheng Mingyu stopped him in time, without blinking, and ordered Mo Qing to leave.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the man died.
"What happened? Boss Liu died so suddenly. Did His Royal Highness take action?"
"No, didn't you hear people say he died suddenly in a brothel? He spent his entire life obsessed with women's bellies, so it's not surprising he died there."
