Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were standing by and were speechless for a moment.
The two of them sitting here will never let the people suffer injustice.
But they were very curious about how the governor had the nerve to say such a thing?
"So this is how the Governor judges cases? Anyone who has done good things will definitely not do bad things. Who did you learn these skills from? This is the first time I have seen a governor judge a case like this."
The governor was not guilty this time and told him all about his experiences over the years.
"No! Your Highness, Master Wang is truly a kind-hearted man. Many people dislike the fact that he is a merchant, and every year they send a few people to sue him. I've experienced this several times, and I'm used to it. Don't take it seriously."
In fact, he was also very annoyed. When he first came to Jiangnan, he also wanted to do some good things for the people.
But we are always entangled in these messy things. Who has the time to work for the people?
"But with so many people accusing him, do you really believe he's innocent? Flies never bite eggs that are not cracked. The Governor should investigate thoroughly, otherwise some people might be wrongly accused."
Gu Yunni's tone was gentle, not as serious as Sheng Mingyu's, but she tried to comfort him.
"What's more, this kind of problem has happened so many times, the governor should make a decision. If it's really a false accusation, then he should be locked up."
Gu Yunni spoke calmly, but the governor broke out in a cold sweat.
His Royal Highness is a man who keeps his emotions to himself, while his Consort is a smiling tiger. These two are truly a perfect match...
"Alright! Then, Governor, please hurry up and investigate the case. Don't get nervous just because we're around. We're just listening and we won't get involved."
The governor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued the trial.
The gavel kept banging, but no useful words came out.
"Ahem..." Sheng Mingyu's face became uglier and uglier, and he could only use sound to remind the governor.
The governor finally got to the point.
"Tell me! Why are you suing Master Wang? What evidence do you have? You can't just sue him based on a few random words!"
The governor stared at the people kneeling below with an unfriendly look.
If he hadn't suddenly come to complain, I wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble.
He wanted to see what he could say.
"I'm a waiter in Master Wang's shop, in charge of the silk warehouse. Today, when I went to the warehouse, I found blood on the silk. I just went there recently, and in a hurry, I had no choice but to go to the government office to file a complaint."
When the waiter mentioned this, his face turned pale and he trembled. It was obvious that he was really scared.
The governor also frowned, and even Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Why do you say it's human blood? What if it's animal blood? Besides, the waiter in charge of the warehouse didn't just ask you to come and complain. Where are the others?"
The governor was really serious this time, and his questions were well-reasoned.
Even if you file a complaint, you must provide evidence and not make up stories.
"This...how could it be animal blood? I manage a clean warehouse, so there's no way an animal could have died in there! Besides, the Wang family has always had strict rules, so no one would just throw an animal in there casually."
Sure enough, as soon as the governor asked the question, he avoided the gaze and could not explain it clearly.
Sheng Mingyu sighed deeply, feeling very disappointed.
"If you really want to sue me, I won't stop you, but you must have evidence. If you just say something like that, I can throw you in jail. But today, the Crown Princess and His Highness are watching, so you should go back first."
The governor looked very proud.
The people below wanted to say something but stopped themselves and had to leave.
He really had no evidence.
In the next few days, many people came to the government office to beat the drum to report their crimes, and most of them were related to the Wang family.
Not only the governor was interested in the lawsuit, but even Sheng Mingyu became interested.
"Why don't you investigate it carefully? This prince knows that this matter is not my business, but if you ignore it and let the people suffer, it will not be good."
"Yes! How many people has this happened to? Even if his family was fine before, there might be problems now. I advise the Governor not to be too arbitrary."
Even if Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were worried, they couldn't meddle in other people's affairs. They could only offer suggestions. They couldn't always bully others by taking advantage of their power.
The person in front of them is also one of His Majesty's trusted confidants, so the two of them cannot just act too aggressively.
The governor nodded and went to do his work with great difficulty.
Sheng Mingyu happened to have some free time, so he took Gu Yunni shopping.
Since he was no longer needed at the dam, he had to find something to do for himself.
As we walked, we arrived at the door of Wang's shop.
"Hey, sir, are you looking for clothes? We at the Wang family sell ready-made clothes and also have the finest silk. What do you like? If there's nothing you like outside, we can go to the warehouse and have a look."
"Let's take a look at the silk and buy some good silk to take back. I heard that Jiangnan silk is the most famous, and your Wang family is the largest silk shop in Jiangnan."
Sheng Mingyu nodded and took Gu Yunni to look around the store.
"Yes! This young master has a good eye. Our Wang family is indeed the largest silk shop in Jiangnan. As long as it is the silk you want, we have it here. If we don't have it, I'm afraid no one else will have it either."
The shopkeeper smiled brightly. Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were dressed so brightly and beautifully, they must be rich people.
"Okay, then let's take a look at what treasures you have at home. I only appreciate rare items. I don't like ordinary silk."
"Well, please wait upstairs for a moment. I'll have someone get it."
The shopkeeper was in high spirits and took the guests to the private room upstairs. After a while, a waiter came up to serve tea and water and prepared many snacks.
I was just clumsy and accidentally spilled it on Gu Yunni.
"Sir, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I'll get you some new tea right away. Please don't tell the shopkeeper, or he'll beat me."
The waiter was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't care about etiquette and wanted to wipe Gu Yunni's face.
Sheng Mingyu hurriedly stopped him, and Gu Yunni also smiled awkwardly.
"No, it's not a big deal. I can handle it myself."
"Thank you very much."
The waiter reacted and quickly left the room.
Men and women should not touch each other. If I touch this lady today, I will be finished.
A long time passed and Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni became anxious.
We had several refills of tea, but the shopkeeper still hadn't returned.
"What's going on? Is this how you treat customers at the Wang family shop? Didn't I hear that you have the best service? If you don't want to do this business, we can go to other shops."
Gu Yunni was a little impatient and spoke rudely. She was really unlucky today.
Not only did I not buy anything good, but I also got my clothes dirty.
