The Regent Princess has run away again

The middle-aged man apologized, walked over quickly and said, "It's me, what do you want from me, sir?"

There were three detectives with swords standing at the door. When they heard the middle-aged man say that he was the boss, they did not answer his questions.

"Come here, tie him up and take him to the government office!"

The two constables behind him took out hemp ropes and walked forward to tie the man up.

"Wait a minute."

The two detectives subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, with a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Xue Zhiyu ignored them and continued, "You guys came here to arrest someone, so you have a reason to do so. What did he do wrong?"

Seeing that it was just a woman, the head constable waved his hands impatiently, and then shouted at the two constables: "Hurry up and tie her up, what are you standing there for!"

The two detectives had no choice but to hold the middle-aged man on the left and right, handcuffing their hands behind their backs and saying, "Behave yourself!"

The middle-aged man was extremely anxious and kept saying that he was innocent and had not committed any crime.

"You are roaming the streets in front of innocent people. I never thought that a small constable in Penang would have such great power. I thought you had ignored the law and didn't take His Majesty seriously!"

When the three detectives heard her last words, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they wanted to go up and seal her mouth.

The leading constable was so angry at this person who suddenly meddled in other people's affairs that he wanted to take her away as well.

But as more and more people gathered around him, he had no choice but to suppress his inner anger and said through gritted teeth, "Someone reported this boss for selling unknown ingredients, so we hurried over to check it out and took the owner of this store back for questioning."

"But we haven't gotten anything out of the question yet. You look like you're escorting a prisoner. It doesn't look like you're simply asking questions."

The onlookers looked at the middle-aged man who was being escorted by the police.

Some people agreed with her words, while others thought that the detective must have found out something and that was why he did this.

"It's really unacceptable for the constable to do this. I don't think the boss looks like a dishonest businessman."

"You'll get used to it. You must have just arrived in Penang."

The old man with white hair and coarse clothes continued, "The police here are always like this. If they say they will arrest you, they will arrest you, so we usually avoid them."

The man at the side was a little indignant: "How can this be so unreasonable? Don't you care about them?"

"I heard that this captain is Li Sheren's nephew."

"Then this young lady is in big trouble."

Just as everyone gradually shifted the topic to her.

Seeing that the other party not only refused to give him a way out but was pressing him further, the captain of the police drew the knife from his waist.

"Hey, do you know who I am? Be careful or I'll make you pay for it. Get out of here now!"

Xue Zhiyu showed no fear at all, and a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Who you are has nothing to do with me. I just happen to be planning to meet your governor, so please lead the way."

The three detectives seemed to have heard a joke and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, who do you think you are? If just anyone wants to see our governor, then our governor will be very busy."

Xue Zhiyu showed no sign of being annoyed. Instead, she asked Xiaoqiu to take out the document and said, "I am the Princess Kangle, who was personally appointed by His Majesty. Please don't be rude."

When the captain of the police saw Wen Die, his mocking expression suddenly froze and his face became very interesting.

When the people around heard this, they were shocked. They never expected that the young lady in front of them was Princess Kangle.

The captain of the police had no choice but to ask the two detectives to untie the middle-aged man, and then he put on a smile on his face.

"It turns out to be Princess Kangle. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused you."

Xue Zhiyu asked Xiaoqiu to put away the disc, and suddenly she felt something in her heart: no wonder those powerful officials were so eager for power.

Look, as soon as his identity is revealed, he used to look down on others, but now he wants to worship himself.

"Now, what kind of unknown ingredients does this boss sell?"

The captain turned around and soon saw the man who was trying to squeeze out of the crowd. He took a few steps and pulled him out.

"My Lord, this is the person who said he ate something strange here."

After the captain finished speaking, he kicked the man on the calf and shouted angrily, "Why don't you tell the truth now!"

The man fell to his knees after being kicked by the captain.

In fact, the girl in front of Tingda turned out to be the princess. He knew that something was wrong and wanted to sneak away when there were many people around, but he didn't expect that he couldn't leave now.

"My Lord, I am not just talking nonsense. I have really tasted it and that is why I think it tastes weird!"

"That's because you've never seen it before, so you can't accept its taste. There are all kinds of things in the world, and this only shows that you are shallow."

The man's face turned red after hearing these words. He lowered his head and was unable to utter a word.

"Apologize to this boss, and don't speak nonsense in the future, lest you expose your ignorance again."

The man also knew that he was indeed in the wrong in this matter. After apologizing obediently, he rushed out of the crowd without looking back, as if there was some kind of monster behind him.

Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, the head constable rubbed his hands and said in a flattering tone: "Since this is a misunderstanding, we will go back and close the case first, and will not delay the princess."

Xue Zhiyu nodded indifferently, without even looking at the captain, and said to the middle-aged man: "I'm leaving first, and I'll come back to pick up the goods later."

The middle-aged man reacted, although he was still a little shocked, but after all he had seen the world, so he calmed down and agreed.

Xue Zhiyu didn't care about the eyes of the people around her and walked out of the crowd with Xiaoqiu.

I looked at some of the busier restaurants nearby and got a general idea of ​​what to expect.

The weather is hot now, so there will definitely not be many people coming to eat hotpot. After all, it’s not like in modern times where you can eat with air conditioning on. If you want to continue to do business, you must have your own special dishes.

In addition to special dishes, there must also be desserts after the meal and some cooling drinks.

It seems that she will have to start making the menu when she gets back.

Soon, it was noon.

The two were a little hungry, so Xue Zhiyu sat down in a nearby restaurant.

Because there was no menu, the waiter kept reading out the menu.

“What’s the specialty here?”

When this was mentioned, the waiter said proudly: "Sir, we are not bragging. I guarantee that if you try our special dishes, you will come back next time."

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but become interested when she heard the waiter say this.

"Then tell me."

"We have three special dishes here, namely cherry meat, chicken breast, and rouge goose breast."

"Then let's take these three."

"Okay!"

The waiter agreed and left.

While waiting for the food to be served, Xue Zhiyu and the other person sat by the window on the first floor.

But I kept thinking about what I needed to prepare later. In addition to the most basic tableware, I also had to hire people to do the work.

In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse opposite.

Wen Jingxuan leaned against the window, holding a jet-black jade fan quietly in his hand, his slender fingers stroking the handle of the fan from time to time.

He was just looking down casually, but who would have thought that he would spot a person.

The gray-blue eyes narrowed, as if locking onto prey, with a hint of excitement in them.

If he suddenly appeared in front of her, her expression would surely be very interesting.

Wen Rui came up from downstairs and saw Wen Jingxuan's look. He knew that he must have been targeting someone, and he couldn't help but walk over with a little curiosity.

Following his line of sight, she looked downstairs, frowned, and then said, "I thought she had already returned to the Western Regions."

Wen Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

The dishes were served quickly. Xiaoqiu looked at the delicious food in front of her, swallowed her saliva helplessly, and didn't know how to start eating.

Xue Zhiyu looked at the dishes on the table. They were indeed special dishes, with good color, aroma and taste.

I picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of cherry flesh into my mouth. My eyes lit up. It had a sour and sweet taste, rich but not greasy.

Jilibeng, as the name suggests, contains not only chicken but also large prawns. It is salty, sweet and mellow, and is also a good dish.

The waiter appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile, "Please allow me to introduce this rouge goose breast. This dish can nourish yin and qi, warm the stomach and stimulate the body's saliva. It is definitely unforgettable after eating it."

Xue Zhiyu took a closer look. The goose meat was the color of rouge and tasted like sweet honey, with hints of osmanthus leaves and rice wine.

"Yes, it is indeed a specialty."

The waiter smiled and left their table.

It was the first time that Xiaoqiu had eaten such delicious dishes. She stared at the dish without blinking, picked up a piece of rouge goose breast with chopsticks, and took small bites of it. Her round eyes were full of surprise.

Xue Zhiyu smiled and ordered two more bowls of rice.

......

This meal cost a total of five taels of silver, which was much cheaper than in the capital. Xue Zhiyu had a rough idea in her mind.

"Miss, do you need to go back to the inn and rest for a while?"

"No need, let's go shopping after we're full and then go back."

Xiaoqiu didn't say anything more and followed the young lady obediently.

Xue Zhiyu was walking in front and saw some candy figures being made. She suddenly felt a little greedy and turned around to ask Xiaoqiu if she wanted to try the candy figures.

Unexpectedly, she felt someone bumped her shoulder and she subconsciously frowned.

But the other party spoke first: "Miss, I'm really sorry, are you okay?"

The man's clear voice was as comfortable as a spring and pleasant to the ear.

Xue Zhiyu turned around and looked at the owner of the voice, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

This man is so handsome. Unlike her master Mu Xingchen, who had a cold beauty like a banished immortal, this man's appearance is extremely aggressive, especially his gray-blue eyes.

If she were to ask which man she had met who had a similar temperament to him, after much thought, the only one she would think of was Qin Yuming, the owner of the pharmacy.

"It doesn't matter."

"Miss, I think you look familiar, a bit like a good friend of mine."

After hearing this, Xue Zhiyu felt a little speechless. This kind of chatterboxing is indeed a popular term used in ancient and modern times.

But on the surface, he still maintained a polite and distant attitude: "Maybe you recognized the wrong person. There are many people who look alike in this world. You look so good. If I had seen you, I would definitely remember you."

The man seemed to suddenly realize something, smiled, said a few polite words and left.

When the man was not far away, Xiao Qiu walked up and said, "Miss, that man is very strange. Let's go quickly."

"Well, let's go."

Xue Zhiyu didn't take it seriously, and then continued: "Let's go, there are candy figures in front, Miss, I will treat you to some."

As soon as she heard that there was something delicious to eat, Xiaoqiu forgot about the strange man.

On the other side, the man suddenly turned around to look at the master and servant, and stood there for a while as if he was thinking about something.

Due to his outstanding appearance, many women blushed and looked at him from time to time, all with shy looks.

The man was Wen Jingxuan who was originally in the teahouse.

He returned to the teahouse. Wen Rui saw him coming back and couldn't help but asked, "How is it?"

"She didn't recognize me."
