"You're a sensible kid, so I won't make things difficult for you. If you don't tell the truth, I'll make you pay the price."
Before leaving, Gu Yunni threatened again.
Sheng Mingyu made the decision very quickly. He always does things within his ability.
If it weren't for Gu Yunni, he wouldn't have participated in these struggles.
"Tomorrow, this prince will go to the governor. Although my status is higher than his, I came to Jiangnan mainly for the dam, not to solve the problems among the people. This matter still needs to be entrusted to the governor."
"Um."
Gu Yunni had no objection, and the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Gu Yunni got up early and knocked on the door.
"Don't sleep, there are still many things to deal with today. This is the happiest thing that has happened to me since Kyoto. Maybe it is related to the man who knows the mysterious arts! You two, come with me to investigate."
What Gu Yunni was most interested in was not the secrets of the Wang family, but the story behind the little ghost.
All her goals were directed at that man.
"good!"
The Imperial Master and Sheng Mingyu were helpless, but they had to agree.
If I don't accompany Gu Yunni, I'm afraid she will turn the world upside down.
"Your Highness, why are you here so early today? Is there something you want to talk to me about? Just tell me. If it's a problem with the dam, just report it directly. I will do my best to help in any way I can."
The governor was a little surprised to see Sheng Mingyu early in the morning and was polite to him for a long time.
It must be no small matter that is worth Sheng Mingyu getting up so early.
"It has nothing to do with the dam. It's another matter. Has the Governor forgotten about it?"
Sheng Mingyu shook his head. He was becoming more and more displeased with the governor.
"Another thing? What is it? Your Highness, can you please tell me directly? Don't make me guess. My brain has been getting worse and worse lately. I really can't figure it out."
Sure enough, the governor had a puzzled look on his face and asked Sheng Mingyu shamelessly.
He really couldn't remember anything else about him that was related to Sheng Mingyu apart from the dam?
"Wang family!"
Then, the name Sheng Mingyu said made him startled and his eyes widened.
"Your Highness, you haven't given up investigating the Wang family yet? I thought you were resting all this time. Then why did you come here today? Don't tell me you've found out the truth?"
The governor looked indifferent. He didn't think Sheng Mingyu could find out anything.
Mr. Wang is so kind, how could he do such a bad thing? I guess it would be in vain in the end.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would this prince come to see the governor? But the expression on the governor's face is indeed worth investigating. What kind of deal do you have with the Wang family? Why do you trust Master Wang so much?"
Sheng Mingyu had a sarcastic smile on his face, and what he said frightened the governor.
I didn't expect that the Wang family really had something that Sheng Mingyu could investigate personally.
"Your Highness, please do not slander me. How could I possibly be related to the Wang family? Just tell me what you have found out. If they have truly violated the law, I will not show favoritism."
He quickly clarified the relationship. If he were in front of other adults, he might not be so quick.
But if he were in front of Sheng Mingyu, he should be careful. He was too serious about his work and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Master Wang had a basement where he killed people and bled them all day long. He also disposed of many bodies and threw them into mass graves. It may have disappeared by now, but basements don't just disappear."
Sheng Mingyu did not hide anything and told all the news he learned yesterday.
The governor would not easily resort to any tricks in front of him, so he dared to speak the truth.
The Imperial Master and Gu Yunni also had sarcastic expressions on their faces.
I almost trusted the governor, but I didn't expect that the governor could be wrong sometimes.
"Can you please tell me what we should do about this? It was you who guaranteed that Master Wang would never do anything bad, but now that we've found out, are you going to take responsibility for this as well?"
Gu Yunni had never thought of letting him get away so easily. Did she think that she could clear the relationship by just saying a few nice words? It was a joke!
Not letting the governor get away with it is already considered merciful!
"Princess, you can't say that. I really thought that Mr. Wang had never done anything wrong, but if you find out, then he must have done something wrong. I have no objection to what you say."
The governor hurriedly distanced himself from the matter and even felt the silver in his pocket was hot.
He never hid anything he did from Sheng Mingyu. Would he misunderstand him?
"Your Highness, please make the decision for me. I really haven't done anything. Moreover, I have always been your Majesty's confidant. How could I possibly harm your Majesty? Please don't misunderstand me."
Seeing that Gu Yunni had no way out, he could only continue to ask Sheng Mingyu for help.
He knew that Sheng Mingyu was on Gu Yunni's side, understood court affairs, and could reason with others.
"I know you wouldn't do anything bad, but you did speak up for Master Wang at the time. Now that the matter has been brought to your attention, you can decide what to do. I won't hide anything for you."
Sheng Mingyu simply became a hands-off boss. On the surface, he did not continue to support Gu Yunni this time.
This matter concerns His Majesty, and he cannot throw dirty water on others without any investigation.
Otherwise, if His Majesty asks him about it, he will not be able to answer.
"I understand what you mean. I will organize my runners to search the Wang family's house right now. As long as we find this basement, we will immediately convict Mr. Wang, no matter how many good deeds he has done in the past. Your Highness, are you satisfied?"
The governor nodded impatiently, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Sheng Mingyu with a flattering smile.
He really had no other choice. The worst that could happen was that he would just return all the money he had earned.
Just don't take this hot potato.
Sheng Mingyu nodded and said nothing more. The governor was very quick to act and sent someone out directly.
Gu Yunni and others followed closely behind.
As soon as the bailiff arrived at the door of Wang's house, he kicked it open. The housekeeper was so frightened that he ran out holding his pants without even putting on his clothes.
"Who? Who on earth is so disrespectful that he doesn't even know where this is? How dare he just barge in? Have you had enough of living?"
He shouted without even seeing the people outside.
The bailiff kicked him to the ground, and only then did he feel fear.
"The county government is doing business, all outsiders please leave!"
"County government office? Where's the governor? I want to see the governor!"
When the housekeeper heard about the county government office, his eyes lit up.
Sheng Mingyu curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer behind him.
"I'm afraid that the Governor won't be able to make the decision on today's matter. Today, I, the prince, will make the decision and investigate your Wang family."
"I want to see the governor. He will definitely make the decision for us."
