Someone at the table joked: "If that flower-picking thief is so brave and dares to have thoughts about Lord Nie's people, then we might as well try to catch a turtle in a urn for him."

The person next to him nodded in agreement, "This is a good idea. The flower picker in Yuzhou has kidnapped nine women in the past six months, and the young girls are so scared that they dare not go out. The Yamen still has no clue. If they know about him, For the next target, if you set an ambush in advance, you may be able to capture him in one fell swoop.”

After hearing this, the others came up with ideas one after another, where to set up an ambush and how many people to use. You told me what to say. In the description, they surrounded the house that Yan Chao lent to Cui Qiyan like an iron barrel, threatening to prevent the flower picker from coming. Back.

The chattering voices reached Yunling's ears, and she finally understood all the doubts she had about coming to Yuzhou. No wonder people here would look at her with such complicated eyes, and the shopkeepers of clothing stores would remind her to stay away from home.

After thinking about it carefully, she found that she did not see young women on the street. Most of the people she met were men, and some older women.

Yunling's eyes gradually focused on the person in front of her with his back to her. The purpose of his trip was to assist Yuzhou officials in solving the flower-picking thief case. He had known about the situation here for a long time, but when he arrived, he took her shopping for a whole day, almost all the bustling streets in the city.

She lowered her head and looked at the clothes she was wearing and smiled mockingly. It turned out that he had another purpose in buying her such expensive clothes. She was really dizzy. When she put on these clothes and stood in front of the mirror, she felt a trace of joy in her heart.

She is just an ordinary girl who also likes beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry. But come here

For two years, she had been a maid in the Duke's Mansion, and she deliberately suppressed these little daughter's preferences.

This time when she came out, she couldn't help but relax after what she saw along the way. She changed into the maid's clothes, and the different look made her feel like herself.

Yunling's hands hanging on her sides clenched her lavender skirt tightly. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt, being taken advantage of and acting like a fool.

The people at the table were talking more and more enthusiastically, and no one noticed anything strange about her.

After hearing this, Yan Chao said: "This is indeed a feasible method. I will make arrangements for Mr. Nie when we get back and wait for the thief to fall into the trap."

During this period, Cui Qiyan was silent. At this moment, he put down the wine glass he was playing with, raised his eyes and said, "I don't think there's any need to bother. Since that man could steal nine people quietly without leaving any trace behind." There are clues that show that he is extremely skilled. If he really targeted my maid, he must have noticed that we have gone to such trouble, so how could he ask for trouble?"

Liu Zhengping nodded repeatedly, "Master Nie is right, but if we don't send someone, what will happen if your maid is really kidnapped by flower pickers?"

"That's such a pity..." Yan Xiangwen looked at Yun Ling and muttered softly.

Cui Qiyan smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "He can come and give it a try."

Yan Chao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. With Master Nie's magnanimity, we can definitely catch the thief and bring him to justice!"

"Yeah yeah……"

The rest of the people responded and raised their glasses to toast Cui Qiyan again.

The drinking lasted for nearly two hours. When the banquet broke up, everyone was drunk. Cui Qiyan drank the most.

, I couldn’t stand firmly when I got up. It was Ji Bai who quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands.

Yan Xiangwen came over and said, "Master Nie, are you having a good time tonight?"

"Jinxing..." Cui Qiyan tilted his body, his eyes blurred, "Of course it's fun, the wine in Mr. Yan's restaurant is all good wine..."

Yan Xiangwen said happily: "Master Nie likes it. I will bring wine to you someday, and the two of us will have a good drink."

"Drink!" Cui Qiyan waved his long arm.

Yan Xiangwen ducked subconsciously, the smile in his eyes getting deeper.

Yunling walked at the end, indifferent to the group of people in front.

The group of people walked downstairs and were greeted by a polite man in white, who was about [-] or [-] years old. "Thank you all for the honor, sir. I'll have someone prepare some sobering soup for you."

There were several waiters standing nearby, each holding two food boxes in their hands.

Someone swayed and said, "Boss Qu treats guests so thoughtfully, no wonder Ruyi Restaurant has become the number one restaurant in Yuzhou."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. All the adults are supporting me. Thanks to Brother Yan Xian."

Yan Xiangwen pulled Cui Qiyan closer and introduced, "Master Nie, this is Brother Qu who is my partner in Ruyi Building."

"I'm here, Qu Wei. I've met Master Nie." Qu Wei saluted, straightened up quickly and asked, "Master Nie looks very cool. Is this your first time coming to our Ruyi Building?"

Yan Xiangwen was the first to say: "Not only is Master Nie's first time here at Ruyi Tower, but this is also his first time back to Yuzhou. He is the director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and comes from a wealthy family in the capital. He is here to help us investigate the flower thief case."

Cui Qiyan waved his hand, "Boss Qu, don't listen to him, our family is not a wealthy family in the capital, and is not worth mentioning in the eyes of real nobles.

"

"Master Nie is too humble. The capital has gathered royal relatives and noble families, which are not something ordinary people like me can see. Now that Master Nie can come, it is a blessing for us people in Yuzhou. I boldly implore you to catch the real culprit as soon as possible. , and give justice to the abducted girls and their families." Qu Wei said and bowed to Cui Qiyan again.

Cui Qiyan's eyes flashed, his face still looked drunk, "It's easy to talk, easy to talk..."

"It's getting late. I'll see you off, sir." Qu Wei stepped back a few steps.

It was completely dark outside, so everyone left the restaurant without further delay.

Cui Qiyan was a guest, so he was put into the carriage, and Yan Chao and others left one after another.

In the carriage, Yunling was still sitting by the door, turning a blind eye to Cui Qiyan, who was leaning on the carriage.

After driving for a while, Cui Qiyan felt that this position was uncomfortable and sat up by himself.

Seeing that Yunling didn't respond at all, he said in a bad tone: "Master is drunk, is this how you serve him?"

Yunling turned her head and looked directly at him, "Your Majesty, you are not drunk."

Cui Qiyan chuckled, "How do you know?"

"Guess, the prince is just doing it for them to see."

"You are smart," Cui Qiyan glanced at the food box in her hand, "Even if I am not drunk, I have drunk a lot of wine. As my maid, shouldn't you bring me sobering up at this time? Soup?"

"This slave has no eyesight and has neglected the eldest son. Besides, you didn't bring this slave here just to serve you." Yunling was holding her breath in her heart, and her words were choked.

Cui Qiyan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and said: "Don't forget your identity and what I said to you on the road, be careful with your mouth.

Bring me the hangover soup. "

People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Hearing his warning, Yunling lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, Young Master, I know my mistake."
