The wolf king conveyed Kang Yueran's meaning, and all the wolves howled in unison. Kang Yueran almost cried. Wolves are vicious, but they never have evil hearts!
Qin Cheng looked at Kang Yueran in the wolf pack with mixed feelings. This open-minded woman, who hated evil, really looked like his sister, Qin Shu.
Perhaps Kang Yueran was indeed deliberately arranged by King Ping to be close to their Qin family, but he had to admit that after tonight, he really admired Kang Yueran.
The people who went to search at the foot of the mountain came back and found that except for the traces of weapons forging in the workshop, everything else had been burned.
Since everything is burned, there is no point in staying. Qin Cheng waved his hand and said, "Return to Beijing!"
Kang Yueran touched the wolf king's head and instructed it, "You and Baihu stay here to watch over the wolves. I'll come back to find you when I'm done. Let's send them back to Xiufeng Mountain and then go home."
The white tiger pushed the wolf king aside, hugged Kang Yueran's legs, and said coquettishly: "Master, we will be obedient."
Kang Yueran also touched Baihu's forehead and said, "Be good!"
Qin Cheng wanted to laugh. Although he couldn't hear Baihu's words, he could clearly see the arrogant expression on Baihu's face. This wolf and tiger were really about to become spirits!
When they went down the mountain, it was already dawn. The group did not stop and took all the people related to Miao Hai back to the capital.
This time, the witness was not imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison, but was sent to the Dali Temple prison.
The Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate are the three institutions that make up the three-court joint trial.
When a case was reported, the Ministry of Justice would gather evidence, the Dali Temple would judge and issue a verdict, and then the case would be returned to the Ministry of Justice for review. The entire process was overseen by the Censorate. If all three parties agreed, the case would be finalized; if there was any disagreement, the emperor would be asked to make a ruling.
Because there were so many people and the journey was slow, we didn't arrive in the capital until the next morning.
Qin Cheng still had something to do, and Kang Yueran was tired and sleepy. After returning to the inn, she took a comfortable bath and fell asleep on the bed.
When she woke up, Chai Shijing was sitting in the room reading a book to keep her company. "Are you awake? It's almost dark, do you want to get up?"
Kang Yueran sat up and said, "I slept so soundly that I didn't even hear you coming."
She got out of bed, put on her coat, and sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair. "I'm hungry. What's good to eat in the capital?"
"Yes, the fish at Chenglou is delicious. Would you like to try it?"
"Okay!" Kang Yueran was not very good at combing her hair, so she tied it up awkwardly.
Chai Shijing put down the book, walked over, picked up the comb and helped Kang Yueran tie her hair. "It seems I need to learn more hair-tying styles in the future."
"Your idea is good. I'll learn more about it later."
Looking at the two people in the mirror, Kang Yueran suddenly thought of a poem, which she recited casually, "A young woman in the boudoir knows no sorrow, putting on makeup on a spring day as she goes up to the emerald tower. Suddenly seeing the willows on the street, she regrets having asked her husband to seek a title."
Chai Shijing paused and said, "This poem is not good! It should be: I want to know you, and live a long and everlasting life. Even when the mountains are gone, the rivers run dry, the winter thunders roar, the summer snows, and the heaven and earth merge, then I dare to break up with you."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "I was just kidding. I'll sing another one."
Chai Shijing took Kang Yueran into his arms and said, "No need to change the song, Yueran, I will never let you down!"
Kang Yueran turned around and hugged Chai Shijing back, "I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down!"
She kissed Chai Shijing and said, "Help me tie my hair up quickly. Let's go eat fish!"
The two of them took a car to Chenglou. When the fish came up, Kang Yueran realized it was sashimi. "I don't like eating raw fish!"
"Then let them make something else. What do you want to eat?"
Kang Yueran didn't know what he wanted to eat, "Let them pick out some of their specialties and make a few."
"Okay!" Chai Shijing stood up, gave the shopkeeper a few words, and then sat down again. He asked, "Did the trip to Biyun Mountain go smoothly?"
"The two witnesses are still alive. I also gave Qin Cheng the six letters that Luan Da gave me before he died. But Miao Hai ran away. Before he ran away, he burned down his study and the traces of the mountain behind him!
I asked the wolves, and they said they wanted to return to Xiufeng Mountain in Yuezhou. I promised them that I would personally send them back once the affairs in the capital were settled."
Chai Shijing frowned slightly, "You want to go to Yuezhou? Not far from Yuezhou is Huaizhou, where Duke Lu's troops are stationed!"
"I'm not going to Huaizhou. I'll just release the wolves back to Xiufeng Mountain and come back. I'm bringing White Tiger and nearly three hundred wolves with me. Send someone to keep an eye on Duke Lu. As long as he doesn't mobilize his troops, I can return safely."
Kang Yueran smiled complacently, "When I return from Xiufeng Mountain, Qin Cheng will be at least 50% less wary of me."
"Qin Cheng is not Princess Yongtai. In the Zhenguo Mansion, his orders are no less than those of the Zhenguo Duke."
"But Qin Cheng is a soldier. Soldiers value their promises over life and death. On Biyun Mountain, I could see that he was still somewhat moved. I went to Xiufeng Mountain in person to fulfill my promise to Luan Da, so he must have been even more moved.
We don’t need to do anything, just let it happen naturally, and that will make him feel better about us.”
When it comes to grasping people's hearts, Kang Yueran must be an expert. The most rare thing is that she is never stingy in giving to others, nor does she lack the patience to wait for others to repay her.
She treated Qin Cheng the same way she treated Qingpingzhuang. She never said how good she was. She just found other people's itchy spots and relieved them.
What ordinary people care about most is food and shelter, but for the Qin family, which has been holding a large number of troops without any war for many years, Qin Cheng may not need the merit of following the dragon.
Chai Shijing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yueran, you always make me feel ashamed."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Then I'll be a little stupid from now on, okay?"
"You've been living a carefree life, so stop putting yourself in a difficult position."
"A Jing, my plans will always be small ones, and the lofty ambitions in your heart are the big ones."
