Chapter 193 Eyes Cried Blind

Princess Consort never expected that the Governor Gao really had a powerful backer.

However, that backer wasn't anyone particularly formidable, just a manager from the Second Prince's Mansion, who also bore the surname Gao and was cousin brothers with Governor Gao.

Murong Jiu realized this as well. Indeed, who would dare to act recklessly right under the Son of Heaven's nose without a backer?

Moreover, there had been cases that caused loss of life, and there surely had been commoners who went to Capital City to report these incidents.

Recalling that Xu Darong had been a man of the Second Prince, and Xu Darong was the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, in charge of such affairs,

It was likely that the matter had been suppressed before it could escalate.

No wonder Governor Gao was so brazen and reckless.

It seemed that half of the goods Governor Gao embezzled had ended up in the Second Prince's Mansion.
