After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 349 Strict
The family dinner was arranged at the Shanhai Restaurant. Firstly, it was a good idea to keep the money within the family, and secondly, her restaurant had large private rooms and exquisite food, not much worse than the old Beijing restaurant Fanlou.

"Mother, our restaurant has launched a new dish these days, crispy roast duck, you must try it."

"Anan, is this restaurant really run by you?" Father Su exclaimed in amazement, "This business is so good. The restaurant is full of guests and there are many people waiting outside."

Yu Linlang nodded repeatedly, "Business is indeed pretty good, and now it can be regarded as a famous restaurant in Beijing."

Su Jingyuan couldn't help rolling his eyes and thought to himself: What's so good about it? It's obvious that he is making a fortune every day.

Father Su boasted and laughed, "As expected of my Su Taiping's biological daughter, she is so good at doing business. Very good, a tiger father will have a dog daughter, hahahaha."

Madam Su rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, "How come a tiger father has no dog daughter? I have no credit at all?"

Father Su quickly changed his words, "Yes, it is Madam who has made the greatest contribution. My daughter is so well-educated, well-behaved and sensible, all thanks to Madam's care and cultivation."

As she was talking, Yu Linlang looked up and saw Liufen walking around outside the door. She said hello to her parents and brother, walked out and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Young Master Murong and Sect Master Situ are waiting for you next door."

Yu Linlang secretly complained in her heart, and as soon as she opened the door of the private room next door, she quickly apologized to her younger brother, "Ah Chi, I've been very busy these days, and it's not that I didn't mean to not attend the auction. It's just that I can't make it in time!"

Murong Chi rolled his eyes at her and said, "I knew you were unreliable."

We clearly agreed that day that we would definitely attend the auction!

But when we asked on the day, we found out that everyone had gone to Jinzhou Prefecture, so why would they still want to participate?

"Everything happens for a reason, everything happens for a reason." Yu Linlang smiled innocently, dragged a stool and sat next to them, looked at Murong Chi, then looked at Situ Kongkong, and asked, "What happened?"

"Two things. Let me talk about mine first, which is about the salt smugglers. I have to rush back to Jiangnan Road to check all our ships. I will leave today."

Yu Linlang held Huozhi's brother's hand and said with emotion, "Thank you for your hard work."

Murong Chi rolled his eyes at her.

This woman is really good at coaxing people, but she has absolutely no practical action.

"The auction three days ago brought in good profits." Murong Chi took out a bag of banknotes from his arms and stuffed them into her pocket. "I'm going to be away for a while, so take this."

Yu Linlang frowned and said stubbornly, "I have money!"

Murong Chi ignored her and pointed at Situ Kongkong who was standing beside him. "Talk about his business."

Seeing the two of them look serious, Yu Linlang also became more serious, "What happened?"

"Xiao Fang was arrested."

"Who?" Yu Linlang was stunned for a moment.

"It was the kid you met on the street that day. You bullied him and exchanged a bag of copper coins for pebbles."

Yu Linlang remembered and glanced at Situ Kongkong, "What happened?"

"He was caught by the Jingzhao Prefecture, sentenced to pickpocketing in the street, and sentenced to seven days of hard labor." Situ Kongkong stammered.

Yu Linlang glared at the latter, "Where do you think this place is? It's not a place where you can do whatever you want. This is the capital, where the judiciary is strict. If you are caught stealing, you have no choice but to accept the punishment." "Do you think everyone is like me, who would not be arrested if someone was stolen? Who did you steal?"

"A lady, later I learned that she was Madam Gong from the family of the Minister of Justice."

Yu Linlang was speechless. "He stole from the wife of the Minister of Justice? And he was caught red-handed."

Situ Kongkong explained weakly, "It's not all his fault. At that time, Madam Gong was bullying others in the street, and Xiao Fang took action because he couldn't bear it..."

Yu Linlang looked at him expressionlessly.

Situ Kongkong coughed lightly, "Yes, this child is a bit impulsive, but, you see, he is just a child. The law of our dynasty starts at the age of ten, and Xiao Fang is only eight years old this year."

"If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job." Yu Linlang complained, "Everyone's wife always has a few guards by her side. Didn't he consider his own safety before taking action?"

It's not like you can beat them, if you can't, then you're just showing off.

Situ Kongkong was full of melancholy, "It's just a child..."

"Child, child, how many times have I told you not to bring children into the Kong Kong Gate."

Situ Kongkong quickly argued, "I didn't bring him up. This kid's parents died, so he joined voluntarily. And I kept your words in mind and never let my kids pickpocket. But unfortunately... this kid has some talent and is naturally studious."

Yu Linlang rolled her eyes at him countless times.

"You will never come to my house after seven days of hard work. Tell me what's going on."

Murong Chi couldn't bear to hear him nagging for so long without getting to the point, so he interrupted, "Since he is young, Jingzhao Prefecture did give him a lenient sentence. Seven days of hard labor is nothing, but Xiao Fang's identity was investigated. When they learned that he was from the Kong Kong family, Madam Gong and Madam Liu went to the government office together, insisting that Xiao Fang was the culprit who stole from their family and asked the government office to deal with him severely."

"Strictly?" Yu Linlang was somewhat stunned. "The minimum age for sentencing under the Great Qi law is ten years old. How strict can the sentence be for an eight-year-old child?"

Situ Kongkong clenched his fists. "Mrs. Gong insisted that Xiao Fang stole from their house and even listed a list of his thefts."

He handed her a copy. "This is handwritten."

Yu Linlang spread out the list and took a look. It listed some pearls, jades and gems, most of which were things on the dressing table, all kinds of odds and ends.

"Is Kong Kong Men stealing so casually now? Even women's rooms?"

"Of course not!" Situ Kongkong's face turned red, and he argued, "If we in Kongkong Sect want to steal, we will only steal from the storehouses of wealthy families. Sneaking into the room to steal a few hairpins and jewelry, what's so good about stealing? It's not worth stealing."

"That's true." Yu Linlang put away the list and nodded. "After the family dinner is over, I will go back to the government office and ask for clarification. If this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Fang, I will definitely give him justice."

She stared at Situ Kongkong and said, "Keep a close eye on your disciples and don't let them cause any trouble in the city. If you go out of the city and mingle in the underworld, I won't bother to care what you do, but you can't do that in the city."

"Life is not easy for ordinary people, don't hinder them. If you dare to mess with me, I will beat you to death."

Situ Kongkong looked dejected.

Murong Chi quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, they have been very well behaved these past few days. I have been watching them and nothing has gone wrong. The other party was the one who started the trouble with Xiao Fang this time."

"Don't worry, I'll let them go with me to Jiangnan Road to do some work. Firstly, I'm short of manpower, and secondly, I can find them something serious to do."

Yu Linlang nodded and pointed at the listless Situ Kongkong, "Remember, don't yell at the child, or I'll beat you to death."
