"You haven't really done anything wrong, have you? Don't forget, I'm always standing behind you. If you do something bad, you'll drag me down with you!"
"No, no, Governor, please don't be angry. Don't you understand my temper? I just think it's not good for His Royal Highness to ride on your head like this."
Mr. Wang waved his hands hurriedly, trying to sow discord between the two.
As long as he acts fast enough, Sheng Mingyu may not be able to find the study.
"His Royal Highness is the most beloved of His Majesty! He is even more beloved than his own son. So what if he stands above me? Even if he stands above all the princes, it is only natural. Master Wang, please control your mouth!"
The governor shook his sleeves and followed Sheng Mingyu in.
It seems that Mr. Wang is getting more confused as he gets older. It would be better for him to have fewer relationships with people in the future.
"Your Highness, please be careful. You can move anything in the yard. You can go to any room you want. If anyone dares to stop me, I will put him in jail!"
The governor was apparently speaking to Sheng Mingyu, but he was actually speaking to Master Wang.
He had to bow his head in front of Sheng Mingyu, so how dare a mere wealthy businessman act so arrogantly?
"Don't worry, Master Wang. This prince will definitely not mess up your mansion. This time I came here to investigate a specific place, which is your study. Let's go directly to the study."
Sheng Mingyu ignored him and turned his gaze directly to Master Wang.
Mr. Wang looked pale, and he asked why the guard had not returned all night.
As soon as Sheng Mingyu arrived, he went straight to the study. It turned out that everything had a traceable path.
Mrs. Wang looked puzzled. Looking at her master, she didn't feel anything was wrong.
"Master, please don't worry. Since His Royal Highness wants to investigate, let him do it. We haven't done anything wrong, so we won't be caught."
She was understanding and tried to comfort him, but Mr. Wang just slapped her in the face.
“Bang!”
"You're a woman, why are you following the team? Get back to your room right now. You're not ashamed of showing up in public! You don't have to meddle in my affairs!"
Mrs. Wang looked incredulous, but she didn't dare to refute and could only obey.
Only Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni laughed coldly.
"Mr. Wang just said he hadn't taken any measures, but looking at you now, I just think you're guilty as a thief. You even lost your temper with your own wife. I wonder how you normally behave?"
"Yes! If you are really scared, you might as well beg us for mercy and discuss everything peacefully. Why get angry with your wife? Your wife has done nothing wrong."
Gu Yunni spoke in a sarcastic tone. What she despised most were men who lost their temper with women.
"Haha! I really didn't do anything. If His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness really want to investigate, then that's up to you two. But if nothing is found, His Royal Highness must give me an explanation. Even though I'm just a businessman, I'm not someone others can trample on."
Mr. Wang smiled stiffly, and even at this moment, he refused to bow his head.
Anyway, there is a mechanism in the basement, so he will not give up just because he is grateful.
"Okay! Let's go in then."
Sheng Mingyu agreed readily, and in the blink of an eye, a group of people walked to the door of the study.
He didn't hesitate and just opened the door and walked in.
Mr. Wang looked very nervous, but he didn't dare to say anything more for fear of being exposed.
"It's obvious that Mr. Wang is a scholar, but I didn't expect you to go into business. There are so many books in your study, it's a pity not to waste them."
Sheng Mingyu walked slowly and made a lot of comments on every place.
Gu Yunni and the National Master stood by and pressed wherever they came across, looking for the entrance to the basement.
A long time passed, and Sheng Mingyu still couldn't find any useful place. Mr. Wang's face gradually became red and his tone became arrogant.
"Your Highness, you have been in my study for a long time. I wonder if you have found anything useful. Besides books, my study only has things I need for business. If you want them, I can move them all to the county government office for you."
"No need! I'm just taking a look around. Mr. Wang shouldn't mind if I stay a little longer."
Sheng Mingyu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and secretly glanced at Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master.
The two men's expressions became increasingly ugly, and Sheng Mingyu had to call Mo Qing in.
"Walk around the study and see if there's a secret door or something. If you find one, open it."
"yes."
Mo Qing is familiar with this aspect, so Sheng Mingyu can rest assured by leaving it to him.
After a while, Mo Qing found the mechanism.
The more Mr. Wang looked, the more frightened he became.
Mo Qing was getting closer and closer to where he was hiding his people.
"Yes, Your Highness. It's been so long, and you still haven't found anything. Why don't you go back and rest early? You've been busy from morning to noon, and I'm sure you must be tired."
"Yes, Your Highness! It would be inconvenient for so many of us to just stand there at Wang's house. Otherwise, we should go back early. I'll ask a few yamen runners to stay and look for it." He interrupted in time, and the governor also came to help.
He was willing to give Mr. Wang some face because he really thought that he could not find out anything.
"Don't worry, who said nothing can be found? Haven't my men already found something?"
Sheng Mingyu's expression remained unchanged as he called Mo Qing to his side.
"Tell me, what did you just discover?"
"Your Highness, I have found the secret door. It can be opened by twisting the vase. Do you want to open it now?"
"Open!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone stared at Mo Qing's figure, wanting to see what he could find out.
Gu Yunni and the others had expectant eyes, but only Master Wang stared with his eyes almost popping out.
As soon as the darkroom door was opened, a bloody smell mixed with a foul stench came out, making Gu Yunni cover her nose immediately.
"Hey! What on earth is that smell? Master Wang really has a special fetish. He even set up a place like this in his study. What are you thinking?"
The governor was the most pitiful. He ran to the door and vomited, and the yamen runners were no exception.
Only the people brought by Sheng Mingyu looked at Master Wang with disdain.
"I don't know! This is not a place I built, and I don't know what's inside! Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse me."
Mr. Wang hurriedly shook his hands, trying to distance himself from the matter.
Everything was clearly going according to his plan, so how could Sheng Mingyu, a Cheng Yaojin, suddenly appear?
"Master Wang, you're speaking in a panic. I've inquired about this study. You rebuilt it after you took over the Wang family. How could you not know anything? Now you have to give this prince an explanation. What happened to the body inside?"
