The common people were discussing which family's daughter was so overwhelmed that she was openly willing to be ruined by the flower pickers.

"It must be a whore and a slut."

"I think it's a good thing. She sacrificed herself to save another family's daughter from being ruined."

"I think this is a trick by the government to lure the flower pickers into the bait."

Everyone thought it was possible, and then thought that if this arrest was really designed by the government, it would be too stupid. Which prisoner would be so stupid that he would take the initiative to send him to his door to be arrested by them.

"I don't think it's what the government did. Maybe there are women who are willing."

"That's right, the government won't be so stupid as to openly set up traps to lure thieves."

Everyone, you say what you say, and you have all kinds of guesses, and there are all kinds of opinions.

Just when everyone was arguing, the door opened suddenly, and a delicate and energetic maid came out from the inside.She saluted politely and asked everyone to disperse.

"My wife is still resting, waiting for the night to do business, please don't make noise at the door."

Everyone sighed when they heard this, and looked at the freshness of this little maid, and thought that she might be ruined by the flower picker, and they all felt distressed.

Everyone kindly reminded the little maid to be careful.Of course, some of them made sarcastic remarks, scolded and laughed slowly, and even made teasing remarks.

The little maid did not change her face, and said in a flat tone: "I am sorry to bother you, but my wife is beautiful and beautiful. Compared with her, I am just a stone in a latrine. Presumably, after the flower picker saw my wife, he would not want to look at it again." I take a second look."

When everyone heard what the little maid said, they were very curious about what the lady she was talking about looked like.

At this time, there was a graceful figure passing behind the little maidservant. Although that face only flashed by in the blink of an eye, it had exquisite features, glamorous and moving, with a scorpion head and crescent eyebrows... It caused the crowd at the door to exclaim, all the people in the world... Beautiful words are not enough to describe the beauty of this woman.

"gorgeous--"

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"

After hearing the exclamation, the people behind who didn't see it rushed forward to see.The little maid immediately closed the door and shouted to everyone to leave quickly, or report to the officials.

It was getting dark, and after a while of commotion outside, it finally dispersed.

Qin Yuan washed up, changed back into men's clothes, and sat in the room calmly eating sweet apricots.

"Brother Qin, can this trick of yours work?" Zhou Xiaolu was very skeptical.

Qin Yuan nodded very positively, and then continued eating sweet apricots.

Zhou Xiaolu looked at Qin Yuan hesitating to speak, thought for a while that he should wait quietly and at ease, and took out two pieces of snacks from his sleeve.Then she noticed that Qin Yuan was looking at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked Qin Yuan: "Brother Qin shouldn't have eaten this thing from me, do you still want me to let you?"

As Zhou Xiaolu said, he handed another piece of dim sum to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan shook his head: "I think you are very brave, and I admire you."

Zhou Xiaolu understood, and Qin Yuan boasted that she was calm in the face of all kinds of comments from the people just now, she lightly raised the corners of her mouth, and reminded Qin Yuan: "Brother Qin, don't forget, I am born with a certain fear Ability. But what they said is nothing, it is better than when I was in Zhou's house before."

"Last time, you told me that your Zhou family is a big family. Including your father, there are eight brothers and they all live together. It sounds like a very lively family with a thriving family. Why do you still suffer because of this?" ?”

"Since ancient times, where there are people, there will be selfishness, and where there are selfishness, there will be fights. Our Zhou family is the place where the fights are the most fierce."

Zhou Xiaolu lowered her eyes, her hand holding the dim sum trembled slightly, but when she spoke, her words were still flat and without waves.

"For the benefit of the moment, everyone wants face, wants to win, and wants to be the best, so they will calculate each other. For example, to get a good cloth, if the number of daughters in the family is not enough, they will compare who is the best. He is the most obedient and the most capable. In the end, just because of such a piece of cloth, several children could even cry, let alone other things. Compared with the pickiness and humiliation of those relatives, I think these Words from strangers I don't know will do me no harm."

"I didn't expect your family to be like this."

The resources in ancient times were scarce, and ordinary people got good things, so they really had to use them carefully.Qin Yuan also knew about Zhai Dou.

"But isn't it a bit too stupid for a big family to fight back and forth to grab something?"

Zhou Xiaolu looked back at Qin Yuan: "There is a very good saying, don't worry about scarcity but inequality. I think the reason why our family fights so hard is because of this 'unequalness'. My grandfather used to be a county Ling, saved up some family money, and he said that he would leave his things to the most promising, obedient and obedient children in the family. He couldn't control the number of sons, so he followed these children to fight with each other, and finally won. The one that belongs to him is the strongest, so he can naturally inherit his things."

Qin Yuan understood, "This matter is rooted in your grandfather's fault."

Zhou Xiaolu nodded.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the window, Qin Yuan went to check immediately, only to see Changsun Wuji, Dai Zhou and Shangzhou Inspector Ye Qian coming over the wall.

The three of them then went through the window and entered the house.

Changsun Wuji patted the dirt on his body, and stared at Qin Yuan angrily: "What are you tossing about? What do you mean by 'the beauty is inside, waiting to pick flowers'?"

"Didn't grandson limit me to solve the case within three days? I'm solving the case, waiting to catch the flower picker."

"You borrowed all my bodyguards just to ambush here?" Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Yuan helplessly, "You're so loudly proclaiming to everyone in Los Angeles that you think the flower pickers will come ?”

"Yes." Qin Yuan said.

Dai Zhou and Ye Qian looked around the room, and after they glanced over Zhou Xiaolu, they didn't see any other women in the room.

"I heard that there is a beautiful woman here?" Dai Zhou asked Qin Yuan where he was, and asked which family's daughter he used, "If you didn't stop the flower picker, you would put the girl in danger." , can you bear this responsibility?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Dai Zhou, and asked him what kind of beauty he was.

Dai Zhou then explained the situation at dusk, and told Changsun Wuji that many people were at the gate outside the house and witnessed a beautiful woman in this house.

Qin Yuan smiled and said to Dai Zhou: "Are you following me?"

"Who followed you? I was with Ye Shishi all the time just now. It was you who made things worse by beating gongs and drums, and someone reported it to Ye Jieshi." Dai Zhou explained.

Ye Qian nodded quickly beside him, "Qin Shaoqing, don't misunderstand Dai Shaoqing, it was the Yacha who heard the news and reported it to us."

Dai Zhou asked Qin Yuan if he really planned to catch the flower picker like this.

Qin Yuan nodded: "Is there any problem?"

"We are worried that Qin Shaoqing may not succeed in leading the snake out of the hole with such a big fanfare." Ye Gan said.

"Chronicle Ye's words are too polite, what is called 'possible', it is 'impossible' to succeed." Dai Zhou corrected.

Qin Yuan: "The suspect's feet are seven and a half inches."

Changsun Wuji, Dai Zhou, and Ye Qian looked at each other after hearing this, and asked Qin Yuan what he meant.

"It is speculated that his height should be between five feet and five and a half feet." Qin Yuan estimated.

Changsun Wuji asked him why he made this inference.

"The height can be estimated from the length of the feet with about [-]% to [-]% accuracy. Generally, the height of such a big foot is basically within this range." Qin Yuan explained.

"Regardless of whether Qin Shaoqing's statement is accurate or not, the height of most men is within the range you mentioned, such as everyone present. According to your theory, there are too many suspects."

"That's right, I'm really not sure who it is, that's why I lured the snake out of the hole. Now I have my own inferences and actions. Where is Dai Shaoqing? How is the investigation? Is there any effective way? I think Dai Shaoqing is I'm just watching the excitement, so there should be no good way. Since you have nothing to do, why don't you try my way, how do you know it won't work?"

Qin Yuan refuted Dai Zhou unhappily, and didn't give him any sympathy.

Dai Zhou was so angry that he cupped his hands and complained to Changsun Wuji: "Grandpa Changsun, he is clearly trying to make excuses."

Changsun Wuji squinted at Dai Zhou: "Then what can Dai Shaoqing do?"

"This..." Dai Zhou shook his head in embarrassment.

Changsun Wuji felt that what Qin Yuan did this time was indeed unreliable, but since what he did before was reliable, he did not immediately arbitrarily deny Qin Yuan.

Changsun Wuji asked Qin Yuan if he had any other explanations.

"You must have your reasons for being so public, right?"

"As expected of the eldest grandson, he understands his subordinates!" Qin Yuan said happily, "My maidservant and I spent an afternoon looking through all the relevant files, and concluded a very obvious characteristic of this flower picker."

"No wonder you said those files are confidential." Changsun Wuji asked Qin Yuan to quickly clarify everyone's doubts.

In the expectant eyes of the three, Qin Yuan yelled two words majesticly.

"Lustful!"

The three of them gave Qin Yuan a blank look at the same time.

They are flower picking thieves, they must be lustful, they know this without Qin Yuan telling them.

Qin Yuan told them that he found that when the government publicly offered a reward for arresting the flower picker, the number of committing crimes remained the same as before.

"What does this mean? He is extremely rampant and self-righteous, and he is not afraid of being chased by the government at all. So today I came to fish with a beauty and waited for him to take the bait." Qin Yuan explained.

When the three of them heard this, they barely felt that there was some truth.

Dai Zhou asked Qin Yuan: "Are you really sure that the flower picker will take the bait?"

"Yes, I'm very sure." Qin Yuan said confidently, "He is so powerful, how could he put the government in his eyes. I believe he is a coward, dare to come."

Dai Zhou couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, this statement is too ridiculous.However, he would like to see if Qin Yuan can attract the flower pickers in this way.If this is the case, scolding him has to admire Qin Yuan's good luck.People are stupid, but they can just catch up with the suspect who committed the crime.Really rare in a hundred years.

Changsun Wuji also felt in his heart that Qin Yuan's later explanation was not very convincing, but he saw that Qin Yuan was so confident and firm, so he didn't say much, and just watched first.

"Don't worry, go back to sleep. Ye Cishi's eye circles are darkened. I can just stay here by myself. There are guards ambushing all around, and there are many government officials ambushing around. As long as this flower picker comes, I promise to arrest him and bring him to justice." !" Qin Yuan patted his chest with high fighting spirit.

Dai Zhou: "Qin Shaoqing didn't answer my question from the beginning to the end. Dare I ask where you found the beauty before? Will it hurt her?"

Both Changsun Wuji and Ye Qian looked at Qin Yuan.

It is said that the appearance is alluring, and due to the nature of men, it is inevitable that they will yearn for beauties.

"There are people picking on faults, so I'm pretending, are you satisfied?" Qin Yuan complained helplessly, "I obviously don't want to say it, so I have to ask."

puff!

puff!

puff!

The three of them couldn't hold back their surprise, and laughed.It's a pity that they didn't see Qin Yuan's appearance in women's clothing.

"It's actually not pretty. But I understand the beauty of a flash in the pan, and I happen to have good facial features, so I flashed it mysteriously for a while, and it looks very beautiful to people, but I can't bear to look at it." Qin Yuan finished speaking and took a big bite of apricots. , I ate the whole apricot in one more bite, and spit out the core casually.

Seeing this scene, the three of them couldn't imagine how rude and ugly Qin Yuan was when he was dressed as a woman.

Dai Zhou suggested embarrassingly: "Let's leave, don't disturb Qin Shaoqing's ambush."

The three of them then climbed over the window and over the wall to leave. Changsun Wuji and Ye Qian turned around very quickly, but Dai Zhou, who was younger than Ye Qian, was panting when he climbed over the wall, and asked someone to help him to pass.

After Zhou Xiaolu closed the window again, she sat down, straightened her back and waited quietly.

Qin Yuan told her not to be so nervous and go to bed first.

"I don't dare to sleep. If the flower picker really came and those outside didn't stop me, wouldn't I be in danger?"

"If those people outside don't stop you, it's no use waking up, it's better to sleep quietly." Qin Yuan advised Zhou Xiaolu to sleep well.

Zhou Xiaolu glared at Qin Yuan angrily.

Qin Yuan realized that he might have said something wrong, so he quickly apologized, then he yawned, and fell asleep on the table.

Zhou Xiaolu stayed awake until dawn, and then she woke up Qin Yuan who was soundly asleep.

Qin Yuan was still a little dazed when he was woken up, he looked around in a daze, after seeing Zhou Xiaolu, he realized something and stretched himself.

"Brother Qin didn't move much this night, and no one else came." Zhou Xiaolu said disappointedly.

Qin Yuan opened his mouth wide and yawned again, then nodded.

"He just heard the news on the first night, so he has to go to a place to familiarize himself with the environment, and he will come tomorrow night."

Zhou Xiaolu felt that what Qin Yuan said made sense, so he nodded.

"I won't go out anymore, you spend some money and go out to buy something to eat, there will be guards secretly protecting you." Qin Yuan said.

Zhou Xiaolu agreed, took some money and left.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night again, and Zhou Xiaolu insisted on continuing to sit at the table and stay awake.Qin Yuan couldn't persuade her, so he simply ignored her and went to sleep on the bed in the back room by himself.

A good night's sleep, the inside and outside of the house are quiet, there is no news.

There is only one day left before the agreed time to solve the case.Changsun Wuji finally couldn't sit still, and asked Qin Yuan to come back to answer, and Dai Zhou and Ye Qian also came after hearing the news.

The three of them questioned whether Qin Yuan's method would work.

"Today is the last night of the deadline. I think you can't do it. How do you know that the flower picker is proud and conceited, and he will definitely go?" Changsun Wuji advised Qin Yuan to broaden his thinking and try another way of arresting him.

"He will definitely show up tonight. Don't worry, my judgment will not go wrong."

Qin Yuan asked Ye Qian to help dispatch all the manpower available to the Shangzhou government to ambush all places within a three-mile radius of the house.

"If people come, your people miss the opportunity to arrest, but it's not my responsibility."

Ye Qian asked Qin Yuan to rest assured that he would definitely send all the troops in Shangzhou Prefecture to ambush him.

……

In the middle of the night, darkness covered the entire Shangluo County, every house was closed, and there was no light anywhere, only the stars in the sky were shining

This night is quiet and refreshing, except for the monotonous crickets outside the window, which make people's eyelids sink.

Qin Yuan sat at the table with his chin resting on his hands. He was about to fall asleep a few times, but because his head was off the support, he suddenly nodded his head and woke himself up.

There was a sound of a watch from outside, indicating that midnight had passed, and it would be dawn in half an hour.

Zhou Xiaolu watched Qin Yuan suffer so hard, and advised Qin Yuan to go to sleep.

"If there is news, I will wake up Brother Qin. But to be honest, I think this time, the flower picker will definitely not come."

Qin Yuan insisted on not going to sleep, and asked Zhou Xiaolu to go to sleep, "You have stayed up for three consecutive nights, even if you can't catch up on sleep during the day, look at your eyes are dark, go to sleep."

Zhou Xiaolu was really sleepy, anyway, the flower picker would not come back, so she turned around and went to sleep in the back room.After being dazed for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xiaolu vaguely heard footsteps and voices.She hurriedly got up and walked out from the inner room, only to find that Qin Yuan had already mounted a horse outside the room, and was accompanied by four guards.

Qin Yuan saw Zhou Xiaolu, smiled and said to her: "Sorry for waking you up, you go back to Yongzhou Mansion and wait for me."

Qin Yuan immediately led the two of them on horseback.

Two other guards stayed behind and took Zhou Xiaolu back to Yongzhou Mansion.Zhou Xiaolu didn't understand what happened, so she asked the two guards, but neither of them spoke.Zhou Xiaolu followed the guards on horseback, and not far from the house, he saw a group of servants standing by the street.

The yamen servants rushed to tell the guards that they saw Qin Shaoqing riding away with a man just now, and they vaguely shouted as if ordering them to return to Yongzhou Mansion.They are still confused at the moment, not knowing what's going on.

The guards told the yamen servants that it is good to just follow the order and return to Yongzhou Mansion, and there is no need to ask more questions.

Then a group of people arrived at Yongzhou Mansion.When Changsun Wuji and Dai Zhou heard the movement, they both came out and asked everyone if they really caught the flower picker.Everyone shook their heads blankly to express that they didn't know what was going on, except for the two guards who brought Zhou Xiaolu back nodded.

"Qin Shaoqing's fortune teller, I have already got it." The guard said to Changsun Wuji respectfully.

Dai Zhou was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly, and then he felt that he was making too much fuss, so he quickly closed his mouth.

I really didn't expect that there really is such a stupid thief in this world, he is still sneaking in after everyone is clearly playing tricks!

Qin Yuan is really lucky!

Changsun Wuji was very happy after hearing the news, which shows that he did not value Qin Yuan in vain.He had just assumed the post of Minister of Dali Temple, and he led his subordinates to solve such a big case, and then reported it in front of the saint, how much face he has.

"Where is the flower picker now? Where's Qin Shaoqing, why don't you see anyone else?"

"Going to the west of the city." The guard reported back, "The flower picker was captured by his subordinates and others in the west of the city."

"West of the city? But I remember that the house you set up is in the east of the city." Dai Zhou asked puzzled.

The guard agreed and explained to Dai Zhou and Changsun Wuji: "This is Qin Shaoqing's idea. He used a trick to attack the west. He made a big publicity in the east of the city to lure the flower picker to relax his vigilance and commit crimes elsewhere. Coincidentally, the flower picker went to the west of the city. Fulfilled."

Why is this able to lure flower picking thieves to commit crimes?With such a publicity, maybe the flower picker will be a coward and will not come out again.

Dai Zhou was still puzzled, not quite understanding what was going on.

After a stick of incense, Dai Zhou saw Qin Yuan come back with Ye Qian escorted, and was shocked when he learned that Ye Qian, the governor of Shangzhou, was a flower picker!It was only later that he suddenly realized that Qin Yuan's trick was so wonderful!
