The Prime Minister smiled sarcastically and almost pointed at the second prince's forehead and cursed him.
In the past, the officials under his command had the highest chance of going to Jiangnan. This time, Sheng Mingyu suddenly took action, and he lost the most money.
How could he still help the Second Prince?
"Let's go! Let's stop making things difficult for the Second Prince. He can't even control his own people. Asking more questions is useless. Let's wait for His Royal Highness to come back and ask him in person. I also want to know what His Royal Highness is thinking."
As soon as the prime minister spoke, no minister objected.
Even if they are not in the same camp as the Prime Minister, no one dares to make him unhappy.
Everyone could only line up to leave, leaving the second prince sitting alone in the hall in dejection.
"Sheng Mingyu! This prince has finally remembered you! You clearly said you were going to Jiangnan to make a name for yourself! But you ended up causing me so much trouble, and you didn't even write a letter to explain. You really don't take me seriously!"
The second prince had a vicious look in his eyes, and the emperor hiding in the dark curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.
Even if Sheng Mingyu wasn't there, the second brother wouldn't be able to take the position.
If you only listen to a counselor all day, what's the difference between you and a fool?
"A-choo!"
Sheng Mingyu in Jiangnan rubbed his nose, looking puzzled.
"Are you sick? The weather in Jiangnan is apparently quite good. Maybe you've been too hard on the dam these past few days?"
Sheng Mingyu tilted his head, muttered to himself for a few words, drank some medicine in the evening and fell into a deep sleep.
Only the second prince was left in the mansion to collapse.
Whenever he goes out these days, he is ridiculed by countless people. He is really fed up with this kind of life.
He regrets it so much now. He shouldn't have cooperated with Sheng Mingyu at that time!
Mr. Wang, the richest businessman in Jiangnan, built a Buddhist temple in his yard.
But the deity enshrined in this Buddhist temple is not a deity or Buddha, but a little ghost!
Every three days, a bowl of fresh blood must be offered to him to ensure his good fortune.
"Heaven and earth, please help me, sir, to show me your power. If you can help my silk business grow, I promise to offer you a bowl of fresh blood every day."
In this city in Jiangnan, there are more than one family who worship little ghosts like Mr. Wang.
They are everywhere, whether ordinary people or wealthy people.
“Hehehe…”
As soon as Mr. Wang's fresh blood was spilled on the ground, the little ghost's sinister laughter was heard.
Mr. Wang smiled with peace of mind, kowtowed three times, and then walked out of the house.
Every time the master made this sound, it was equivalent to agreeing to his request, and this silk business was sure to make money.
Bang bang bang!
"I'm going to sue the Wang Silk Shop! They're selling inferior goods to ordinary people, using their family's status to deny ownership, and threatening buyers. They're treating human lives like dirt!"
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were looking at the list of serving citizens in the government office when the drum for reporting was struck outside.
The governor ran out in a hurry. He was most afraid that something might happen to Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni while they were staying with him. What he feared came true.
"What are you arguing about? Can't we resolve this later? Didn't I tell you not to come to the government office to file a complaint for a minor matter these days? Can't you just stand up for yourself? I'm not threatening your life."
The governor looked annoyed and signaled to the people around him to quickly drive the people away.
How could these people be so clueless? Didn't they understand what I meant?
"Your Excellency the Governor is indeed a good official. The people have problems that need to be solved, but you don't deal with them and instead let them wait. If they really have an emergency and someone dies while waiting, what should you do?"
Fortunately, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were bored and wanted to come out to see the fun, and they saw this side of the governor.
The governor knelt down quickly, not daring to say a word. He felt extremely unlucky these past few days.
"Your Highness, I misunderstood. I was afraid of disturbing you. It won't be too late for me to deal with these matters after you go back and rest."
"Your Excellency, Governor, are saying that since you're unable to help these people resolve their grievances, you're blaming me, your Highness? Shouldn't I be in Jiangnan, or come here to build the dam? Would you like me to convey your opinion to His Majesty?"
Sheng Mingyu's face turned ashen.
He knew that many officials were unwilling to expose their troubles in front of the royal family, but he couldn't pretend to be blind like this!
It happened right in front of him, but he still refused to admit it. He is so stubborn.
"No! Your Highness, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just felt it would disturb your rest. Besides, I handled many cases during your time here and didn't ignore the lives of the people. Please don't tell His Majesty about this."
The governor was horrified and knelt on the ground, kowtowed.
How come Sheng Mingyu always misinterprets what he says, leaving him unable to refute?
"When did I ever say that the people's complaints would affect my rest? I advise the governor to resolve the grievances as soon as possible, so as to avoid constant trouble and having to ask others for help. One mistake will not happen every time."
Sheng Mingyu gave Ni a wicked look and spoke sarcastically.
He had to admit that his arrival in Jiangnan had brought a lot of trouble to the governor.
But he can't blame all the mistakes on himself. If he had done nothing wrong, there wouldn't be so many hidden dangers in Jiangnan.
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away! Don't be angry!"
The governor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and got up from the ground.
As long as Sheng Mingyu doesn't pursue the matter, it's fine.
He quickly asked someone to bring the people in. The people looked at Sheng Mingyu with gratitude and kowtowed frequently.
Sheng Mingyu didn't say anything else and followed him in to listen.
"Tell me, what is your grievance? It's better to say something useful, otherwise don't blame this governor for being rude!"
The governor took out all the anger he suffered from Sheng Mingyu on the people.
The common people took out a piece of paper and the yamen runner personally delivered it to the governor's desk.
He repeated, "I'm going to sue the Wang Silk Shop for selling inferior goods to ordinary people. They're also using their identity to deny their identities, threatening the buyers, and taking human lives with them!"
The governor frowned.
"Wang family? Do you know that Master Wang has always been kind? He distributes meat to everyone during festivals and quilts in winter. How dare you sue Master Wang? You must have received a lot of favors from Master Wang!"
The governor spoke with disdain, saying that such people should not be paid attention to.
Every year, there are at least eight or ten people who sue the Wang family, but which one is true?
In the end, all the evidence was overturned by the Wang family.
"Yes! Your Excellency, Governor, you are right. I have indeed received many benefits from the Wang family, but the Wang family has committed such evil deeds that they have taken human lives. I must sue them. We cannot disregard the lives of the people for these benefits."
The people knelt on the ground and spoke with great force.
He knew that this lawsuit might not produce any results, but he had to do it to make himself feel at ease.
