Chapter 2135 The Young Mistress of the Yao Family Has Arrived
Shu Yu understood. Jiang Kuanyu and the deputy head镖师's family had all returned to the north. Normal people would think of taking care of those who are nearby, and assumed that the black market must be in that area as well.
Therefore, there's nothing wrong with searching in the north.
Meng Yunzheng continued, "Besides Jiang Kuanyu and the others, another reason is that they were misled. Qi Lie and the others went to great lengths to find some clues, which also pointed directly to the north."
Shu Yu asked in confusion, "Misleading? How can you be sure it's misleading?"
"After investigating for so long in the north without any results, the Emperor was already somewhat suspicious. Coupled with the letter you sent, it's basically certain that there's no black market in the north. Now, people have gone to the southwest to investigate; let's see if they can find anything."
If not, then that letter might also be misleading.
Clearly, even though the Second Prince has been arrested and imprisoned, the forces outside are still not to be underestimated. This is why the Emperor has not killed him, for fear that those people might become desperate and do something to harm the people.
However, this cannot continue indefinitely.
Seeing him frowning and staring silently at a certain point on the table, Shu Yu waved her hand in front of him. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Meng Yunzheng looked up and exhaled, "I have a feeling something's going to happen."
Why do you say that?
“The Second Prince has been imprisoned for a year.” Meng Yunzheng raised his eyes and said in a low voice, “In the past year, the prison has been heavily guarded. Everyone thought that someone would come to rescue him, but no accident has ever happened.”
Shu Yu's heart skipped a beat; this was indeed very abnormal.
Meng Yunzheng tapped the table lightly with his fingers twice. "The imperial examination is coming soon. I hope nothing goes wrong in the next few days." If something goes wrong during the imperial examination, it will be a major incident.
Meng Yunzheng was not the only one who thought this way; the emperor also ordered the entire city to be on high alert to ensure that the imperial examination could be held normally without any mishaps.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the capital was very tense during this period, and the place where the Second Prince was imprisoned was surrounded by layers of people.
This topic was too serious, and Shu Yu didn't know the specifics, so she didn't ask any further questions.
After Meng Yunzheng finished speaking, he didn't continue. Instead, he picked up the blueprints on the table and said, "After I came to the capital, I found a middleman to have someone keep an eye out for shops for sale. The location you marked is too good; I'm afraid there won't be any suitable shops there."
This is the capital city, full of wealthy people. Shops are never hard to sell, especially those in good locations.
Shu Yu shook her head. "It's okay. If I can't buy one, I'll just rent one."
"I'll have Xia Yan take you to find that person another day."
The two had barely mentioned Xia Yan when the latter ran over, saying, "Young master, young lady, the young mistress of the Yao family has arrived."
The young mistress of the Yao family?
Isn't that the Kang family?
Shu Yu immediately stood up and went out with Meng Yunzheng. As soon as they reached the courtyard, they saw that Madam Kang had already entered the gate.
Upon seeing Shu Yu, Madam Kang's face instantly lit up with a smile. "Shu Yu, is it really you? When did you come to the capital?"
"I just arrived last night. I was planning to visit Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao with my sister tomorrow."
"Your sister is here too?"
Shu Yu nodded and said as she walked towards the main room with Madam Kang, "She and her brother-in-law went out and haven't come back yet."
After Yingxi served tea, Shuyu sat down opposite Kang Shi and asked curiously, "Why did you come at this time, sister-in-law?"
It's already evening, and most people wouldn't come to their door at this time.
