Shun Bo said a few words to Yiming, and Yiming took Kang Yueran and others out.
On Zhengyang Street, Yiming took Kang Yueran into a teahouse. "Tea is popular in Dayong, so Shunbo opened this teahouse. However, there are too many teahouses in the capital, so business isn't very good."
The teahouse has two floors, and its layout is very similar to Jingyuan, with a hall on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.
Kang Yueran looked around and said, "Remove all the tables and chairs on the first floor. I'll draw a few antique shelves and have you have someone make them and put them on the first floor. In the middle of next month, I'll have someone deliver a batch of tea sets.
The tea on the second floor has all been changed to my tea! The first floor sells tea sets, and the second floor is for tea tasting. Oh, and the name has also changed to "Original Flavor Building."
Yiming nodded hurriedly, "I'll listen to you, Miss. Your tea is better than any other tea in the capital! Miss, the Chenglou next door is also ours."
Dayong has not yet invented the cooking method of "stir-frying". Kang Yueran wants to start a stir-fry business, but suffers from a lack of seasonings.
"When the soy sauce is ready by the end of the year, I'll ship you a batch and give you two recipes. We'll revise it then. For now, leave it this way."
Yiming listened to whatever Kang Yueran said, "Okay! Miss, we also have two study shops, four antique shops, four jade shops, two fur shops..."
"Stop! You can't let me manage all your business! Yiming, I don't want my business to be mixed too much with the prince's business."
Yiming didn't understand. "Sooner or later, won't the girl go to the palace and be with the prince? If I take care of it now, the prince won't say anything."
"Even if the prince and I are together, his business belongs to him and my business belongs to me! I can give him money, but I don't want to mix our businesses. You may not understand, but you have to remember!"
"Okay! What about the restaurant?"
Stir-frying is a trend, and Kang Yueran didn't intend to hide it. "The soy sauce was sold to you by the soy sauce workshop, and the recipe is a personal gift from me."
She was willing to give such an important thing as the recipe as a gift. It seemed that she was still thinking about the prince. Thinking of this, Yiming smiled again. "Miss Kang, I'll take you to the dental clinic."
Kang Yueran was happily watching over the shop, but Chai Shijing was furious in the Ministry of Justice's jail. "The person who was just brought in this morning ran away in less than two hours. Mingqing, how do you think about people?"
Mingqing had no words to express his grievances. The prince sent his confidants to take away the people and evidence in a very forceful manner, and no one could stop him.
He knelt on the ground and apologized, "It's my fault. I didn't rule strictly enough. I let two prisoners escape with all the letters and seals. I will do my best to find them."
"What are you looking for? Even a fool would know to kill the witness and destroy the evidence!"
Mingqing also knew that Chai Shirong would definitely destroy all the witnesses and evidence involved.
"Prince Ping, I wonder if the man who brought the witnesses and evidence back from Biyun Mountain could be invited here to question him. Perhaps he has other witnesses and evidence."
Chai Shijing taunted, "What? You want to kill someone to silence them too?"
"I dare not. Everything is because of this case."
Qin Cheng, the captain of the Imperial Guards, said, "Prince Ping, what Minister Ming said is correct. Who knows, that person might actually have other evidence. Your Highness, please bring it forward openly. It's better than having me spy on you in secret."
If he doesn't take the initiative to stand up, the prince's party will find out Kang Yueran.
Chai Shijing walked out of the prison quickly, staring at Mingqing closely, and said to Yili: "Yili, go and ask the young lady to come over. She didn't expect that the two witnesses she brought and all the letters and seals were lost."
Qin Cheng was stunned. "Is it a girl?"
Chai Shijing nodded, "She is Kang Yueran, one of the owners of Anzhou Heshun Trading Company!"
Emperor Jianning awarded Heshun Trading Company a plaque, so these people had heard of the name of Heshun Trading Company.
Kang Yueran was invited to the inner hall of the Ministry of Justice. Ming Qing sat in the center at the top, with Chai Shijing and Qin Cheng sitting on both sides.
Of the three, she only knew Chai Shijing. She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my Lord!"
Mingqing pointed at Kang Yueran and asked, "Why don't you kneel when you see the prince?"
"If I don't kneel before the prince, will I be punished?"
Chai Shijing said: "No need, come, please take a seat!"
Kang Yueran sat down and crossed his legs. "What do you want me to do, sir?"
"Tell me what happened again. Why did you go to Biyun Mountain? And how did you bring the witnesses and evidence to the capital?"
It was the prince who provoked her first, so she didn't need to hide it. "Miao Hai from Shengzhou knew I wanted to buy Coal Mountain, so he deliberately sent me the news and led me to Shengzhou.
When I visited the Miao family, I noticed something strange about the doorman's expression and suspected a conspiracy. Driven by curiosity, I went to Biyun Mountain that night.
I went into Miao Hai's farm, but unfortunately he was already asleep, so I couldn't eavesdrop on him. I went up the mountain alone, and on Biyun Mountain I encountered a pack of wolves...
So, I came to the capital with two witnesses and a bundle of letters and seals given to me by Luan Da."
Mingqing asked the question that concerned him the most, "Luan Da gave you four witnesses, but where are the other two? Why didn't you bring them to the capital?"
Kang Yueran blinked her eyes. "My carriage can't hold so many people. I've hidden the other two in Shengzhou. If you send someone there now, maybe they haven't died of thirst or starvation yet."
"Where is he hiding in Shengzhou?"
"They are hiding in the cave of A'er, the Wolf King of Biyun Mountain. There are nearly three hundred wild wolves guarding them. I believe they are safe."
Mingqing continued to ask, "Why would the Luan Assembly entrust you with such an important matter? Why did you agree to do it?"
"If you are no longer an official, you can go to the mountains and live with the wild wolf for a while. I believe you will understand that the wild wolf is a friend and a family member to Luan Da. When a family member is killed, it is inevitable that he will seek revenge."
Kang Yueran laughed sarcastically and added, "As for your second question, I'm very confused as to how you asked it.
Although I am a woman, I am also a citizen of Dayong. If I see someone raising private soldiers or casting private weapons, shouldn't I report it to the court?"
Mingqing's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "You, a little girl, are allowed to discuss matters of family and country?"
"Don't say women aren't heroes. Every night, the dragon spring chirps on the wall. What's wrong with women?"
Kang Yueran spoke with such righteousness that Qin Cheng admired her even more. "What a wonderful line! 'Don't say women aren't heroes, for every night the Dragon Spring echoes on the wall.' Miss Kang is no less than a real man!"
Kang Yueran smiled immediately after receiving the praise and bowed to Qin Cheng, "Thank you for the compliment!"
Ming Qing then realized that he had said the wrong thing and said to Qin Cheng: "Princess Yongtai is naturally not an ordinary person."
"Princess Yongqin?" Kang Yueran glanced at Chai Shijing, then looked at Qin Cheng.
Chai Shijing introduced: "This is Qin Cheng, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the commander of the Imperial Guards. Commander Qin is the eldest brother of Princess Yongtai."
Thinking of Chai Shijing's constant attempts to win over the Qin family, Qin Cheng's smile faded a little, "Minister Ming, please continue."
Mingqing continued to ask Kang Yueran, "Why do you want to buy the coal mountain? What is the use of coal?"
