The leading officer and soldier were obviously different from the other soldiers. They remained calm when faced with Su Qingcheng's questioning: "Princess, someone reported that your teahouse sells dog meat with sheep's heads. What you sell is a kind of tea, and what you drink for your guests is... An inferior product of the same kind of tea. We received an order from our superiors to search."

Su Qingcheng frowned. Just now, she and Xiaodie were secretly screening the waiters in the teahouse to see if Fu Xingzhou's spies had infiltrated the teahouse. Except for Ajin being replaced by Ali, there were no changes.

Two possibilities quickly came to mind in her mind. The first was that there was something wrong with Ah Jin and Ali, and they secretly changed the tea leaves in the teahouse. The second is that the person who reported it to the official had a problem and tampered with the tea.

"Really? May I ask who reported it?"

"Cai Zhiwu, a famous scholar in the capital," said the leading officer and soldier, "I still have the letter of complaint he submitted. Do you want to read it, Princess?"

Su Qingcheng nodded, and Xiaodie beside her stepped forward and took out the complaint letter.

The font is elegant and handsome, and there is Cai Zhiwu's unique red seal in the lower right corner.

Her brows furrowed even more tightly. The complaint letter in front of her didn't look fake, which meant that there was indeed something wrong with the two sisters, Ajin and Ali.

"Where is your search warrant? Show it to me, Princess." Su Qingcheng said coldly.

With just a letter of complaint, a group of people from Wuwuyangyang came to seal the store. Even if the other party was a celebrity in the capital, it was not in line with Nanye's rules.

It must have been Fu Xingzhou who had tampered with the yamen.

The leading officer and soldier was a little stunned. He also followed the orders from his superiors. His superiors asked him to come quickly. He brought the people here without thinking. He almost forgot that he had not asked his superiors for a search warrant.

"Well..." the leading officer stammered, "the search warrant hasn't been given to us yet, so we're just following orders."

Su Qingcheng said sternly: "Threatening to search my princess's teahouse without a search warrant? Do you still take me, the princess, in your eyes, and do you still take Nanye's laws and regulations in your eyes?"

The leading officer and soldier's eyes dodge. He knows that he is in the wrong and blames himself for coming without being prepared.

Seeing this, Su Qingcheng continued in a gentle tone: "I won't embarrass you. Anyway, all the guests in the tea house have been driven away by you. Now you can search at will to see if I have any inferior tea here, but you can't put this seal on me." .”

Seeing that Su Qingcheng had given them a step down, the leading officers and soldiers immediately got off the steps and said, "No problem, come and search."

The officers and soldiers below obeyed the order and divided into several waves to search the teahouse.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Report, no abnormalities were found here, and the storage conditions are not inappropriate."

"Report, there's nothing unusual here. They're all good tea."

The leading officer and soldier looked a little panicked. He did not expect to find anything. Thinking back to his attitude towards Princess Yunan just now, he was afraid that she would not let him go easily.

"The search is over. Did you find anything?" Su Qingcheng said calmly.

She knew that these officers and soldiers were also innocent, and that the problem was the people above them.

"Back to Princess, nothing was found." The leading officer bowed and said goodbye, "We have to go back to recover, so we'll leave first."

"Wait, I won't care about you this time. Next time if you break in without a search warrant and disturb the normal business of the tea house, I will go to the government to reason."

The leading officers and soldiers hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes, and ran away in a few seconds.

"Princess, what should we do now? Who dares to come to our teahouse after the officers and soldiers are making trouble?" Xiaodie asked worriedly.

Su Qingcheng was also worried about this problem. Although nothing happened today, in the eyes of the people who didn't know the truth, the reputation of Yipin Immortal Tea was ruined.

Moreover, given Cai Zhiwu's status among literati, I am afraid that the literati and elegant guests in the capital would avoid Yipin Immortal Tea.

"There is something wrong with the two sisters Ajin and Ali. Don't rush to find them out yet. Keep an eye on them to see what they want to do."

"Yes."

For several days, no one cared about the first-grade immortal tea.

But I continued to buy fresh tea every day, and gradually began to make ends meet.

News of the accident in the teahouse reached Ye Tantai's ears.

Recently, both of them have their own things to be busy with. One just went out and the other just came back. The two haven't seen each other for several days.

Ye Tantai stayed up all night and hurried back, just to meet Su Qingcheng before she went out.

Su Qingcheng had breakfast and was about to go to the teahouse. She looked up and saw Ye Tantai walking in from outside.

"I heard that something went wrong in the teahouse recently?" Ye Tantai asked.

Su Qingcheng's heart shrank, thinking that he was here to ask her for punishment.

"It's an internal problem," Su Qingcheng said slowly, "I can solve it."

She thought she would hear Ye Tantai accuse her of poor management, but the person in front of her just reached out and touched her head and handed her a stack of banknotes.

"You can actually seek my help appropriately. You can use these banknotes for emergencies first. If you don't have enough, you can ask me for help." Ye Tantai spoke softly and his voice was as warm as jade.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Qingcheng accepted it without hesitation. Although the tea house has not yet reached the stage of bankruptcy, if this continues, soon even the waiters' wages will not be paid.

She originally planned to go to Su's Gold Shop today and take out some silver notes to pay the clerk's salary. She might as well use Ye Tantai's money first, and then she could try to return it to him after this incident was over.

"Your Majesty's hour is coming soon." Fu Yi urged from outside the door: "We have to go back in a hurry."

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" Su Qingcheng also knew that Ye Tantai was not in the house these days, so she never had the chance to ask him.

"There's something going on over there in Liucheng," Ye Tantai said.

Su Qingcheng was surprised. It was neither close nor far from Beijing to Liucheng. It must be quite hard for him to run both ways every day.

"Then Prince, go quickly, don't delay." Su Qingcheng said warmly, "Please pay attention to your health, don't be too tired."

Ye Tantai narrowed his eyes slightly and flashed: "Does the princess care about me?"

Su Qingcheng's ears were a little red, and she realized that the concern she just blurted out was too natural, and she said without changing her expression: "Not getting enough rest will affect the effect of my acupuncture."

"Really?" Ye Tantai's voice was low and bewitching, and he walked slowly towards Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and just when the two were about to touch each other, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Ye Tantai also stopped and stood still.

He looked at Su Qingcheng's headdress and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, you are wearing the hairpin I gave you."

Then he turned and left.

Su Qingcheng stood there stunned for a long time before her heartbeat calmed down.

How could this person even look at a hairpin? It was baffling. She muttered inwardly.

Su Qingcheng touched the mutton-fat white jade hairpin on her head and remembered the scene when Ye Tantai gave the hairpin...

Hmm... He also gave me the hairpin inexplicably.
