He said calmly, "Very well, your good times are about to end."

In the Duke's Mansion.

Jin went straight to the Princess Chu's courtyard. As soon as she stepped through the threshold, she asked anxiously, "Princess, has the embroidered satin started selling? As long as we can make a profit, no matter the price, let's sell it quickly. Even if the profit is a little less, it's fine."

Princess Chu glanced at her sideways and said, "Why are you so impatient? This kind of thing needs to be sold slowly. It would be best if the price doubled."

Jin knew that the Princess of Chu loved money, but she also wanted to make more money.

However, the current situation is very different from the past, making her feel panic like a building collapsing.

She tried to persuade the Princess of Chu, "Sister, please listen to my advice. We should recover as much as we can. The most urgent matter now is to capture Mr. Han's men as soon as possible and convict them so that we can return the one million silver we borrowed."

"Don't worry. Even the forces in the black market wouldn't dare take the imperial court's orders lightly. Not to mention that I've already revealed my identity. How could those people not take it seriously?"

Princess Chu replied.

Seeing that Jin was still worried, Princess Chu signaled to her subordinates, "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture and urge them to respond today. This case is not complicated, and a quick resolution will benefit all of us."

After the attendant took the order and left, Jin felt a little relieved.

After all, the one million taels were borrowed in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, which meant that not only her husband's family's land was mortgaged, but her natal family was also implicated.

More importantly, she had secretly taken the house deed out from her father's study - there was no room for any mistakes.

Otherwise, it will become a problem whether you go back to your parents' home or your husband's home.

Just as she was secretly praying for everything to go smoothly, an attendant came running over to announce, "Madam, Princess, someone is coming from Jingzhao Prefecture."

Princess Chu opened her eyes slightly and smiled: "See, the results will be out soon."

But then the attendant added, "Someone has reported that there are problems with the embroidered satin you are selling. Jingzhao Prefecture hopes that the Madam and the Princess will go and explain the situation."

Upon hearing this, Jin became restless, as if an ant nest were on fire.

Princess Chu, on the other hand, remained quite calm and sneered, "In my opinion, this is the work of someone jealous of our control of the market. If Lord Sun truly wishes to seek justice, then we can accompany him."

Even though she felt heavy-hearted, Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the Princess of Chu to Jingzhao Prefecture to deal with the matter.

After arriving, they learned that the people who accused them were several wealthy businessmen or managers of large families.

Some of them said that their family members were covered with red spots after wearing the silk, while others said that they had breathing problems and almost lost their lives after wearing the clothes.

All in all, no deaths occurred.

In view of this, the two women who were good at calculating their interests quickly concluded that the other party was obviously deliberately slandering them.

Therefore, a strong rebuttal was immediately made, which almost caused a conflict on the spot.

Lord Sun slammed the gavel and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I will investigate this matter thoroughly until the truth is revealed. Until then, all embroidered satin must be sealed and sales suspended. It will not be released until the truth is revealed."

The Princess of Chu's expression suddenly changed, and she argued anxiously, "Absolutely not! There is absolutely nothing wrong with these embroidered satins. They are completely framing us and sabotaging our business. Can't Lord Sun see through this obvious trick?"

"How the princess determined the right and wrong is not the key point. Judgment of a case requires evidence, not mere speculation. According to the law, Your Majesty and Madam Wei, as persons implicated in the case, should be detained pending interrogation. I have shown leniency by temporarily confining the supplies and have not taken any other punitive measures. If there are further words or actions that obstruct official duties, please do not blame me for being ruthless and handling them according to the rules."

Although Mr. Sun is not tall, his words are powerful.

Princess Chu was furious and wanted to continue arguing, but she was grabbed by Jin, who whispered, "Your Majesty, please do not act rashly. You don't understand this gentleman's ruthless methods. He never gives anyone any leniency when it comes to things in the capital. A while ago, I tried to use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke of the State, but it didn't get this iron-fisted official to show mercy. He was still sentenced to imprisonment."

Recalling those dark years.

The only things that accompany me every day are the damp, moldy smell and inedible food...

This made Jin suddenly feel frightened.

From that moment on, she made up her mind never to set foot in prison again in her life.

Helpless, the Princess of Chu could only suppress her anger and ask, "Since this is the case, Lord Sun, please ascertain the truth as soon as possible. Has there been any conclusion regarding the suspected fraud committed by the young man from the Han family? With your talent, there must have been a conclusion."

Sun Li nodded slowly.

Upon hearing this, Princess Chu was immediately delighted. As long as she could get back the huge sum of money, the other losses would not be worth mentioning.

At this moment, the two sisters stared at Han Chenghe's direction with full of expectation.

However, the next second, Sun Li read out the investigation results in court, saying, "After careful investigation and verification, it can be confirmed that Young Master Han does not know the owner of the black market. The other party was simply entrusted to contact Young Master Han to discuss the price of the goods. There is no false information in the entire process. In addition, several witnesses, including other vendors, also confirmed this."

"According to the young maid who served the two women at the time, during the business negotiations, they were forced to expedite the transaction due to concerns about potential complications. Therefore, the entire matter was reached entirely based on the will of both parties. Therefore, the charges against Han Seung-hyuk are dropped and the suspect is released immediately."

After hearing this series of information, Princess Chu was shocked and could hardly believe what she heard.

"How is this possible?"

Jin, who was equally confused, questioned loudly, "May I ask, Your Excellency, are you favoring Han Chenghe? How could so many coincidences come together in the world? Clearly, there are still many unexplained facts..."

Snapped!

A loud bang echoed, and Lord Sun slammed his hand on the table again, shouting, "Anyone who dares to insult the dignity of an imperial official will be immediately dragged down and severely punished with forty lashes of the cane."

The officers then forcibly dragged Jin away.

At this moment, Jin finally realized the seriousness of the situation and begged for mercy: "Please, please spare my life. I just spoke nonsense. Please forgive my mistake."

But Lord Sun ignored it completely. He only heard the sound of whip hitting flesh mixed with screams in the distance, which continued for a long time.

Seeing her friend suffering, the idea of ​​using her status to argue for her friend disappeared in an instant. With an embarrassed look on her face, Princess Chu could only order the accompanying guards to bring her back and hurriedly left the scene.

She just wants fame.
