"One went there in a sedan chair, the other in handcuffs. They were both still being questioned, but the difference was just that huge."
"You're probably quite ignorant about this. Miss Gu is related to Prince Jin, so there's definitely a difference between the two."
"Speak softly, don't let them hear you, or they'll cause you trouble."
The discussions around them had already reached their ears. Several yamen runners looked unhappy and no longer dared to force it.
Bei Yutang followed the yamen runners and left. When the people who were watching the excitement saw that the protagonists had left, they scattered like birds and beasts.
Ministry of Justice
The Fourth Prince and another official from the Ministry of Justice sat in the upper seats, and Gu Pianran stood in the middle, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
"It's really hard to invite the person in charge of the Lei family. He hasn't come yet. Fourth Prince, I will send someone over." Lord Wang was getting a little impatient waiting.
Both sides sent runners to call for people at the same time. Gu arrived early, but Lei was nowhere to be seen. This inevitably made Lord Wang feel dissatisfied with Lei.
"No need. This prince has plenty of time to wait." The fourth prince said in a deep voice.
When Lord Wang saw this, he understood clearly that this was a sign of dissatisfaction with the Lei family.
"How about this. Let's ask Gu first."
"That's fine." The Fourth Prince nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I dare not. This is my self-blame." Lord Wang said modestly.
"Miss Gu, I'm sure you know why we asked you to come here this time." Lord Wang said frankly.
Gu Pianran said gently, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Lord Wang was very satisfied with Gu Pianran's attitude, which had a positive influence on her.
"I need the raw materials for your face cream."
"This..." Gu Pianran was a little embarrassed. If she gave them all the raw materials, wouldn't the secret of the cream be basically handed over?
This Lord Wang doesn't know the importance of raw materials, or he is trying to use public power for personal gain.
The Fourth Prince said, "Sir Wang, if you do this, the secret recipe of the trading company will become a cabbage."
Lord Wang had originally planned to use this opportunity to secretly spy on the secret recipe of the two families. With this secret recipe, it would be like having a golden chicken that lays eggs.
If other officials were to handle the case with him at this time, what the Fourth Prince just said would definitely not have happened.
He was somewhat annoyed at the Fourth Prince's foolishness. The key to survival in the officialdom was not to block other people's financial resources. The Fourth Prince's actions were tantamount to blocking other people's wealth, so how could he possibly be pleased with him?
"Yes, yes, I was inconsiderate," Lord Wang quickly admitted. "However, this way, it's difficult to determine the source of the poison."
Just then, the yamen runner and Bei Yutang appeared outside the door.
The bailiff entered the hall, and Bei Yutang was waiting outside.
"Fourth Prince, Lord Wang, the steward of the Lei family has arrived."
"Bring him up here," Lord Wang said in a rather unpleasant tone. Bei Yutang, having just been deprived of his belongings by the Fourth Prince, was naturally angered by Shanshan's late arrival.
Bei Yutang walked into the hall and bowed to the two seated in high esteem, "I, Mu Zhitao, greet the Fourth Prince and Lord Wang."
"Are you the manager of the Lei family?" Lord Wang was very surprised when he saw Bei Yutang.
Are all the people doing business these days women?
This is true for the Gu family and the Lei family as well.
The Fourth Prince looked at her in surprise.
