Chapter 916: Chapter 916: No More Trial, Bring Back to the Capital City_1 Chapter 916: Chapter 916: No More Trial, Bring Back to the Capital City_1 In winter, her favorite hot drink was Milk Tea, a superb blend of sheep’s milk and fine black tea, mixed together with Taro Balls made from both taro and sweet potato—the taste was simply indescribable.
Yang Wenxiao nodded upon hearing this.
Gao Lian stepped forward and poured the Milk Tea from the teapot into cups, noticing that all the tableware was new—it seemed Qiao Xiaomai had really put her heart into it.
After pouring the Milk Tea, he firstly lifted his cup to take a sip, verifying that it was not poisoned, and then poured some for Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao to drink.
Yang Wenxiao, holding the warm cup of Milk Tea, first sniffed its aroma, and a familiar fragrance wafted to his nose. He slightly squinted his eyes before bringing the cup to his lips for a taste.
It was rich in flavor, neither too sweet nor too greasy, with an aftertaste that lingered on.
“It’s my first time tasting Miss Qiao’s culinary skills, and indeed, it’s not bad,” remarked Yang Hao with a smile on his face.
He was thirty-two this year, but well-maintained and looked only twenty-six or twenty-seven, with a gentle and refined demeanor.
His voice was mild as he spoke, and he always had a smile on his face, appearing very approachable.
“Indeed, she alone is a match for the entire Imperial Kitchen,” said Yang Wenxiao with a nod. “And as for making money, if she really put her mind to it, what she could earn in a year could match the annual taxation of our Daqi.”
“It is truly a regret that I did not bring her into the Imperial Kitchen at the beginning.”
At these words, Yang Hao smiled and said, “Even so, we still get to taste her skill, doesn’t she occasionally send some delicacies to the Palace?”
“That’s true,” Yang Wenxiao agreed with a nod.
Yang Hao put down his tea cup and started to taste the various small delicacies with chopsticks, giving his opinions as he sampled them.
After finishing his cup of Milk Tea, Yang Wenxiao also began to taste the food, and the grandfather and grandson were in complete harmony.
Yang Wang stood to one side, so bewildered that he almost wished he could scratch the walls.
What’s the meaning of this?
Confronted with the issue of gunpowder, Yang Wenxiao had come to Anping Village once again. But where was any sign of urgency?
Watching Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao diverge onto other topics, he could not hold back and finally spoke up, “Grandpa Emperor, aren’t we going to continue the interrogation of the Tong Family?”
“To interrogate, of course, we will. But your brother and I have rushed all the way here—we need to catch our breath, don’t we?” replied Yang Wenxiao.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wang pursed his lips and responded in a low voice with an “Alright.”
Forget it. Since the evidence has been captured, a little while longer won’t make a difference. He would wait!
After Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao had their fill of food and drink, palace maids came up to clear the table. Yang Wenxiao wiped his mouth with a napkin, then turned to Yang Wang, “Where is the person you captured?”
“I’ll bring him straight here.” In a rush, Yang Wang hurried out the door, and in no time dragged someone in.
This person was over fifty years old, covered in bloodstains and clearly had been severely tortured.
“Grandpa Emperor, I encountered him right after leaving the Capital City. In the middle of a snowy day, this man was acting suspiciously on the road. Curiosity got the better of me, so I stopped to interrogate him, which led to the discovery of something significant,” Yang Wang said while pulling a piece of paper from his chest.
“This is what the man confessed to; please take a look, Grandpa Emperor.”
Gao Lian reached out to take the paper and turned to hand it to Yang Wenxiao.
Yang Wenxiao held the paper casually, glanced over it, then placed it on the nearby table.
He commanded, “Summon someone.”
Instantly, four fully armed guards entered from outside.
“Take this man away and bring him back to the Capital City,” instructed Yang Wenxiao with an indifferent tone.
The four guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the person on the floor out of the room.
