"Yes! I saw that face was horrible and covered with scars. It was so scary!"
When everyone mentioned the big thing that had just happened, they still shuddered with fear.
"Someone is playing tricks, but we don't know who it is. Send guards to check the yard. There should be traces."
Gu Yunni nodded, a sarcastic smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
It's really interesting that he dares to play tricks in front of me.
"Is it possible that it was that man who did it? He was just afraid that we would imprison the little ghost again, so he resorted to this desperate measure."
The Imperial Master guessed from the side, and Gu Yunni couldn't help but nod. She couldn't think of anyone else who could be so mean.
"It's possible! If you want to cause trouble, just do it openly. I didn't find him so disgusting when I met him before. Why is he still using tricks behind my back?"
"If your nest was taken away, you would be angry too. Go outside the mansion and see if there are any traces."
The Imperial Master was more open-minded than the other two. It was obvious that the small temple was meticulously decorated. If the two of them hadn't pressed him so hard, who would be willing to leave?
Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu nodded in unison and stopped complaining.
As long as this person is still in the city, it is enough.
"Look! There are white clothes, ropes, and phosphorescent lights over there. I guess they are some kind of ghost trick. They actually dare to act outside the mansion. How brave!"
The Imperial Master was the first to see it, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The two of them looked grim and stood frozen in place.
Mo Qing arrived late, followed by a group of guards.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! There was a fire in the west of the city just now. I led a group of guards to put out the fire. When I heard that something happened in the mansion, I hurried back."
Mo Qing knelt on the ground and apologized, feeling a huge pressure in his heart.
Why does everything always come to me?
"There's a fire in the west of the city? Have you found out who the murderer is?"
Sheng Mingyu's tone was stern, and he was indeed fully prepared.
"It was a farmer's family who forgot to put out the sparks while cooking at night. The fire wasn't very big, so it was basically out by the time we got there. They're all fine now."
Mo Qing answered honestly.
"When you came back from this road just now with your men, did you find anything wrong? Was there anyone on the road?" Sheng Mingyu continued to ask.
Mo Qing felt even more puzzled. "Because of the incident at the small temple this morning, my subordinates sent someone to order a curfew tonight. There were no pedestrians on the road, and the fire was discovered by the night watchman."
Sheng Mingyu suddenly realized that Mo Qing seemed to have asked for his opinion at that time.
"How could you not even see a shadow of a person? Something happened at home just now, and the person ran away along this road. If you were coming back from here, you might have seen him."
Sheng Mingyu's tone was irritable. It felt really bad that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light.
Mo Qing was silent for a long time, thinking with all his might.
"I think we did meet... but it was just now at the dock. Boss Yu's men were unloading the ship."
He immediately raised his head, not knowing if this was what Sheng Mingyu was asking about.
"The dock? Didn't they say no one would show up tonight due to curfew? Why are his men still unloading the ship?"
"Boss Yu came to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this afternoon. I heard that their cargo ship is scheduled to depart at night. If the fish are not unloaded, they will die on the boat." Gu Yunni realized something was wrong and thought about it.
"What happened at home is not too serious. You and your brothers continue to guard the mansion. If you find anyone sneaking around, arrest them immediately."
Sheng Mingyu said helplessly, and left with Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master.
After a whole night of hard work, I still gained nothing.
"I also went to the dock when I first arrived in Jiangnan. Although some cargo ships will arrive at night, there is no need to be so anxious. Boss Yu is reasonable in doing business and basically won't let people work at night. There must be a problem today." The National Master spoke, and the two of them stopped immediately and looked over.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The Imperial Master nodded. What he said was true. Fortunately, he had a sharp mind, otherwise he would have forgotten it long ago.
"Of course! When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I wasn't busy and had nothing to do. I spent the whole day wandering around and asking about people's lives. I only heard this a few times before, and it just suddenly occurred to me, so I just said it casually."
"That means he's up to something today. Tomorrow I'll ask the governor if Boss Yu is also raising some underhanded thief. Otherwise, why would he invest so much money in this matter?"
Sheng Mingyu found hope again and was no longer depressed.
The next morning, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni came to the governor.
The governor did not dare to hide anything at this moment, and was thinking about making amends for his crime, so he nodded and recounted the life story of Boss Yu.
"Yes, those leading bosses all raised little ghosts in their backgrounds. I heard that Boss Yu hasn't kept one for a year. I heard that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. He only has a statue of Guan Erye on his boat. But one year, there were frequent accidents at the dock. Shiploads of cargo were lost one after another, and even the fish were dying. He had no choice but to go to a small temple and invite a little ghost, recommended by Boss Wang."
The governor fell into reminiscence, thinking back to those turbulent days a year ago. Even though he was the governor, he did not dare to offend this person easily.
"He had only kept the little ghost for less than three days when all the strange phenomena at the dock disappeared. He then kept it for another five months, on and off, but still despised it, so he sent it back. However, he donated a large sum of money to the small temple, and most of the things in the temple were built by him."
The governor frowned, recalling the events carefully, and was in disbelief.
"Is His Royal Highness suspicious of Boss Yu? He and that person are not on the same page at all. He's been known to scold that person for no reason. How could they possibly work together?"
Gu Yunni was inspired to say, "There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends."
Sheng Mingyu didn't say a word from beginning to end. After listening to the story, he left with Gu Yunni.
The governor touched his head in the back and felt that the prince's personality was becoming more and more strange.
As soon as they left the house, Gu Yunni started asking, "Do you think this could be related to Boss Yu? Or is someone framing him? Those bosses are all-powerful in Jiangnan. It wouldn't be difficult for them to make some moves last night."
"Both are possible, but I'm more convinced that Boss Yu has connections with that bastard. Otherwise, why would he spend so much manpower and resources rebuilding the small temple?"
Sheng Mingyu looked at Gu Yunni gently and analyzed calmly.
"They must have reached some kind of secret cooperation, or Boss Yu has leverage over that man. Only when we meet Boss Yu in person will we know what's going on. Let's go to the dock."
Sheng Mingyu was in a hurry to act. After figuring out the reason, he took Gu Yunni directly to the dock.
The guards followed behind, and as soon as they arrived at the dock, they saw the imperial teacher already standing on the boat.
"Why are you here so early? It can't be earlier than we guessed, right?"
The Imperial Master, however, looked confused. "Guess what? I just felt something was amiss with him unloading the goods here yesterday, so I wanted to come over and check it out. What do you know?"
