They couldn't help but hold their foreheads with their hands. As expected, they couldn't have too much hope in the national teacher.
"No, I just went to the governor's office. I heard a lot about Boss Yu and wanted to come and meet him."
"That's perfect! I want to see Boss Yu too, so I'll go with you guys."
Gu Yunni shook her head and left with the imperial teacher.
Just as he was about to board the boat, he was stopped by someone.
"Sorry, our ship is unloading. If you want to go aboard, please come back later."
Sheng Mingyu asked tentatively, "Why are you unloading again? Didn't you just unload last night? Your boss Yu still has quite a lot of stuff."
"How do you know we unloaded cargo last night?" The dock worker looked at Sheng Mingyu curiously.
"Last night we unloaded fish, and this time we unloaded valuable calligraphy and paintings. The two items did not arrive in the same batch, so they naturally have to be separated." The worker answered honestly.
Sheng Mingyu also pretended to be interested. "Oh? Then can I come on board to see your goods? I also want to collect some valuable calligraphy and paintings. Isn't this perfect?"
"If you want any goods, you have to go to the Treasure Pavilion. Everything Boss Yu has acquired will be displayed there, and the highest bidder will get it. We don't have the right to sell things privately at the docks."
The worker shook his head and was about to drive them away.
"Alright, don't delay our work. Everyone in Jiangnan knows our boss Yu's rules. Please don't make things difficult for us, our distinguished guests."
"Yes! Let's go quickly. If you delay our unloading time, I'm afraid we'll get scolded again."
Everyone worked together to push them down.
The national teacher standing at the back almost fell down, but Boss Yu appeared in time to avoid a farce.
"What are you doing?! Who gave you the guts to disrespect His Highness the Crown Prince and even dare to push him? Are you tired of living?!"
His voice was so loud that it scared everyone. When they heard Sheng Mingyu's identity, they became even more frightened and quickly knelt down to apologize.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. It's all because I didn't recognize you that I was so rude to you! Please don't take it to heart!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me..."
They almost cried. They didn't know what Sheng Mingyu was thinking. He didn't even reveal his identity when he went to the dock.
"Boss Yu, you misunderstood. I was so anxious that I forgot my identity and just wanted to go on board to see the valuable calligraphy and paintings. It has nothing to do with them. You don't need to vent your anger on them."
Sheng Mingyu explained with a smile, but Gu Yunni knew that he was probably cursing them to death in his heart.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Why didn't you identify yourself when you came to the dock? The people working here are very hard on their hands. What would you do if they hurt you?"
Boss Yu frowned and spoke in a bad tone.
"Luckily, I showed up in time today. Otherwise, if you were injured at the dock and the incident came before His Majesty, I'm afraid my brothers would have died too."
He spoke with disgust, clearly saying that he was wrong, as if he had other thoughts.
"It's just a small matter, why is Boss Yu making such a big deal out of it? Does this prince have to solemnly declare his identity wherever he goes? That would be strange."
It was the first time that Sheng Mingyu had met such a rude person. He didn't give him any face and retorted.
"Besides, wasn't this prince injured? These are all minor matters. Boss Yu doesn't need to take everything to heart."
He rolled his eyes and repeated what he had just said, leaving Boss Yu speechless.
Just based on Sheng Mingyu's identity, he couldn't refute it easily.
"Then I wonder what the Crown Prince has come to the dock for today? He can't really just be looking at rare calligraphy and paintings. Speaking of rare calligraphy and paintings, where in the world can compare to the Imperial Palace?"
Boss Yu stopped dwelling on trivial matters and got down to business.
Anyway, everyone has their own little thoughts, and there is no need to hide them.
"Just strolling around, and by the way, I want to ask Boss Yu if he unloaded the cargo last night. My men were on their way to the west of the city to put out a fire, and they saw the docks brightly lit. It was clearly curfew last night, so why did Boss Yu ignore my words?"
Sheng Mingyu did not hide it and started from last night.
Boss Yu's expression remained unchanged as he nodded in agreement.
"Yes! Jiangnan never had a curfew in the past, just to facilitate the docks. I was suddenly notified last night, and I went to visit His Royal Highness the first time I heard about it, but you didn't have time to see me."
"This prince doesn't want to see you because he is busy with something, but I don't agree that you can bring your men without curfew at night." Sheng Mingyu was aggressive and never gave in. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his aura was intimidating.
"Your Highness did not say that, but my matter is too urgent, and I cannot continue to ask for an audience. I can only break the rules with my brothers. I was just about to apologize to you today, and I met you at the dock. I beg for your forgiveness."
Boss Yu knew that he was not in the right, so he bowed to Sheng Mingyu politely.
Anyway, it's hard to tell whether this matter is right or wrong, so Sheng Mingyu wouldn't bother him over such a small matter.
"So Boss Yu also knows he made a mistake. From now on, you must lead the brothers to a curfew. I don't care how urgent your matter is. At most, I will not allow the ship to dock for the night. You know that because you led the brothers to work last night, many accidents happened."
Sheng Mingyu looked at him with a cold expression, not backing down at all.
Boss Yu frowned, his tone darkening. "Your Highness, I don't understand what you're saying. I was just taking the brothers to the docks last night. If there was any accident, you shouldn't put it on me. Your Highness must have misunderstood."
If it weren't for Sheng Mingyu's status as the prince, he would have probably instigated a fight long ago.
"Last night, someone in my mansion was playing tricks. I saw that person running towards Boss Yu's dock, but because you were busy, I didn't want to disturb you. Also, there was a fire in the west of the city, and we should have gone to the river to get water, but your boats were all parked here, so the people had to get water at home, which caused trouble for many families."
This was all the information Mo Qing sent over today, and Sheng Mingyu immediately put it to use.
Boss Yu was so angry that his face turned blue. Wasn't this just throwing dirty water on him for no reason? It was unreasonable!
"Haha! Your Highness is truly a silver-tongued man. If you're going by what you say, then if anyone loses something, they'll have to blame me. Then I'd better not live in Jiangnan, or I'll end up in jail sooner or later!"
He said it sarcastically, unable to contain the anger in his heart any longer.
The two of them were at loggerheads, scaring the people around them. Boss Yu was really too brave!
Gu Yunni's lips curled up into a wicked smile. "Boss Yu is right. If you really don't want to be here, you'd better leave quickly. Otherwise, you'll only cause more trouble in the future. Besides, the docks are a place of trouble, so it seems reasonable to hand them over to the court."
Gu Yunni was even more frightening. She seemed to want to steal other people's wealth as soon as she spoke, which frightened Sheng Mingyu and Guo Shi so much that they both looked at her.
