"Don't joke, Princess. Although the imperial court controls many docks, this dock was allowed to stay by His Majesty. There is no rule that a dock must belong to the imperial court, and I am not overstepping my bounds."

Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Yunni said, Boss Yu realized that there are always people better than you, and there are people who are more annoying than Sheng Mingyu.

"The Crown Prince's Consort shouldn't make decisions for His Majesty. Please don't speak carelessly. If you cause panic among the people, you will be blamed."

Boss Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a threatening tone.

The dock is his life, and he doesn't allow anyone to touch it.

"How could that be? Don't worry, His Majesty loves me very much and will definitely not blame me. I just want to say that Boss Yu did cause us trouble yesterday. If you really can't handle it, why not hand it over to the court? I believe His Majesty will support it."

Gu Yunni smiled and didn't feel threatened at all.

If they come to Jiangnan and are afraid of His Majesty's decree, won't they be restricted in their actions?

"What the Crown Princess said is correct. I can testify to that."

The Imperial Master nodded. After all, he was favored by the Emperor, so no one would disbelieve what he said.

"Boss Yu, it's better not to mess with the Crown Prince's Consort. Even I don't dare mess with her in Kyoto. You should just listen to what she says."

"snort."

Boss Yu was so angry that he stopped talking.

They wanted to take away the dock at any time, and he really had no answer!

"Alright! Enough of the nonsense. Boss Yu, could you please explain clearly whether that man came to your dock yesterday? What does it have to do with you? Why did he escape from this prince's mansion and come to you instead of going somewhere else?"

Sheng Mingyu stopped wasting time, frowned, and spoke in a questioning tone.

Boss Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although this was not an easy question to answer, it was at least better than just now.

"Your Highness, please don't doubt me. I don't know who those people were last night. The docks were in chaos and it was dark. How would I know who was my subordinate and who wasn't? As long as they did the work, I paid them."

Boss Yu's attitude was much better this time. After he finished speaking, he even smiled at Sheng Mingyu.

"If what I did last night really caused trouble to His Royal Highness, then I will treat you to a meal as an apology, and I promise that I will never leave the boat at night again."

He invested a lot of money and made repeated promises.

Sheng Mingyu couldn't continue and could only smile, "Alright! Since Boss Yu has said so, then this prince won't make it too difficult for you. Just don't make the same mistake again in the future."

The three of them looked at each other and talked about other things.

"This prince has something else to ask Boss Yu. I heard that you summoned a ghost in the temple a year ago. This is no longer a secret in Jiangnan. You also know that dozens of bodies were found in the temple last night. This prince must investigate everyone."

This was the main event, and it made Boss Yu extremely panic-stricken.

He looked pale, as if he were lost in some frightening memory.

"Yes! A year ago, strange things happened frequently at the docks. I had no choice but to go to the temple to pray for the little ghost. But after the problem was solved, I immediately sent it back. It has nothing to do with that little temple."

Boss Yu nodded, eager to distance himself from the matter.

If it wasn't broad daylight, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but look to see if there was a ghost chasing him.

"Oh? I've heard that many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan keep little ghosts, but this is the first time I've heard that this thing can be sent back. Can you explain how it was sent back? The owner of the small temple didn't say anything?" Sheng Mingyu continued to ask curiously.

He won't let the person go just because he's scared.

"As long as the money is in place, anything can be done. If you knew that I sent the little devil back, you would know everything."

Boss Yu gradually calmed down and returned to his previous invulnerable appearance.

No matter how Sheng Mingyu tried to test him, he refused to say another word.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you would like to ask? If not, please leave quickly. The sun is getting increasingly harsh, and it will affect your health. Besides, I'm not the only one keeping little ghosts captive. If you're truly curious, you might as well ask other bosses."

The few of them stood at the dock for the entire morning, and Gu Yunni's face turned red from the sun.

Boss Yu also found a reason to make it difficult for Sheng Mingyu to refuse.

"Alright, let's just leave today's matter at that. I'll go ask other bosses. If there's nothing to show for it, I might need your cooperation. Don't forget what you promised me. Don't cause any more trouble."

"yes."

Sheng Mingyu became anxious. After a few words of greeting, he quickly left with Gu Yunni. When he got on the carriage, he immediately poured Gu Yunni a glass of water and pushed ice cubes next to her.

"You should have said you couldn't hold on any longer. Why are you just standing there in pain? You're the most important thing. Don't take these things so seriously."

"No, it's not a big problem. We've had sunburn on the dam before, and it's not unbearable."

Gu Yunni's tone was soft and gentle, and her heart was filled with warmth.

No matter what time, I am always in front of everything.

"Why did you come back so soon? Did you find any useful information? Actually, it's okay to delay a little longer. How about I go downstairs and talk? You two can rest in the carriage."

The Imperial Master was startled by the sudden change and spoke in a helpless tone.

"No need! While we were chatting, I asked Mo Qing to check on the boat, but he found nothing. He had already moved the people away and didn't even leave any trace. No matter how long we chatted, the result was the same." Sheng Mingyu shook his head, a little disappointed.

Although he was worried about Gu Yunni, he also didn't want to waste any more time because he had no results.

"Is that so? Then what should we do next? At least you have suppressed Boss Yu with your aura today. I believe he won't dare to make another move easily. Even if the person behind this wants to cooperate, he will have to find someone else."

The Imperial Master was very satisfied, as long as Sheng Mingyu was not completely absorbed in romantic matters.

"I haven't thought it through. Since he hates me to the core, he won't stop. He will make another move sooner or later. So I'll go back to the mansion and wait. The next time he shows his tracks, I will never let him go."

Sheng Mingyu shook his head, not knowing what to do.

The man was too cautious and would erase all traces wherever he appeared.

Even the small temple where he had lived for a long time had nothing useful left.

"What do you think his identity is? Why did he say that to you? He seems quite arrogant, but he can make all the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan obey him. He must be very capable, or at least his scheming is beyond the reach of others."

Gu Yunni recovered and joined the discussion again.

Since there is no gain from the serious business, why not talk about the man's identity?

"I don't know! But I always feel that his face is somewhat familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere."

When this matter was mentioned, Sheng Mingyu frowned. This was the reason why he was nervous.

Even if someone has a grudge against the royal family, they should not regard him as a thorn in their side.
