When Virgil and the others arrived at Lulei's mansion, Lord Maris had already detained the butler and General Lulei's subordinates stationed in the royal capital, and proudly slapped the letter in his hand, saying, "If it weren't for my decisiveness, I am afraid that these evidences would have been destroyed by them." ”

"Evidence?" said the captain of the garrison.

These letters, all written by Flora to General Lulei in private, are enough to see that the two of them have colluded in private. ”

The butler hurriedly pleaded: "My lord, this matter is very strange, Flora is the one who bears the guilt, it is impossible for my master to have anything to do with her! We have never read these letters beforehand, and we don't know why they appear in General Lu Lei's study, I am afraid that someone has framed them, and please ask His Royal Highness Auroran to learn about it!"

Maris pouted and spoke in the tone of a butler: "Oh, yes, we are so wronged, why don't you feel wronged when you provide weapons for the criminals? Don't be verbose, please follow me to see Your Highness!"

According to the clues found by Virgil, Maris rushed to attack first in order to grab the credit, and found that there were many ministers in the royal capital who claimed to be "neutral", and they all had secret dealings with Flora. The banker and the captain of the guard were very angry, which was originally the credit of Virgil, but it was all taken by Maris for himself. The difference between Virgil and Maris is that Virgil is happy to share the results with you, while Maris will never have this kind of Yaxing.

Basically all the adults are on Virgil's side and fight for him. In a good mood, Oloran also said a fair word for Virgil -

"I have recognized Wei Jiqing's loyalty from the beginning, if it weren't for him, these ministers who are involved in a wide range of secret collaborators do not know how long they will be free. Vicky, although we haven't caught Sister Flora yet, it will be a heavy blow to cut off her intelligence network and capital chain. ”

With a wave of his hand, Oloran handed the bank note with a large reward written on it to Virgil: "Good job, this reward belongs to you, please don't be polite." ”

Virgil was generous, dividing most of the bounty and inviting friends such as the captain of the guard and the banker who maintained him to celebrate his success at the top restaurant in the royal capital.

The countertops made by Huijin were covered with red silk tablecloths, firefly truffles and moonhorn steak, and other precious dishes were unsparingly filled, and the captain of the guard stared at the azure liquor in the bottles that rose like an ocean, and his eyes lit up, and Virgie understood and opened two bottles.

"Brother Virgil, you're so generous!"

"It's a privilege to work with all of you. Without your continued support, I'm afraid I'd still be a penniless outgabond to this day. ”

Everyone feasted and drank to themselves, and when it came to Maris, the captain couldn't help but fork his fork hard against the smooth, rounded half-pulled egg in the salad, and put it in his mouth and took a bite of revenge.

But when they thought that Maris was alone in the prince's mansion tonight, and pushed open the door of the conference room, there was no one inside, and he could not help but stand alone, and he did not know what he would look like when he was angry, and he regained his joy and sang loudly.

After the banquet, the captain of the garrison was a little drunk, and returned home with crooked steps, and was scolded by his youngest daughter with disgust, but he was in a good mood and just laughed. He has always regarded this little daughter as a treasure, and every day, no matter how busy she is, he will always personally pick her up and drop her off from school. The next morning, when the daughter saw that her father was not awake from a hangover, she did not disturb him, and ordered the housekeeper to prepare a carriage to take her to school. Unexpectedly, the daughter and the driver drove away, so they did not come back until the evening.

The captain looked at a note on the desk in the study, and his hair stood on end, and he was extremely frightened and regretful, and at least went straight to the hotel where Virgy lived.

"Flora...... She...... She's kidnapped my daughter!" The captain stammered, too, with his beard in a broom, "I said I was going to get Yuri back for my daughter!"

Virgil couldn't help frowning: "There is such a thing? ”

"I'm the captain of the guard, and it's useless to call the police. The captain replied with a pale face.

"That's right. Vicky also had beads of sweat on his forehead, and said nervously, "Then go to His Royal Highness the Prince to find a solution." ”

"No, the note said that you can't report it to His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise my daughter's life will be in danger. ”

Virgie frowned, "How can you be sure that Flora did it?"

The captain took out the letter: "This is the note left by Flora. ”

I saw that Virge's face became more and more solemn, and he glanced at ten lines, and instantly swept all the contents on the letter.

Mr. Captain,

I'm Flora.

Your daughter is here.

She'll be fine, I'll let her go home safe and sound.

But you may have to grant me a request to repay me for taking care of her.

I invite you to meet me at the "Time Tea" café at 2 p.m. on Friday.

At the same time, you have to bring someone with you.

Ulysses is my friend, I think you get the idea.

Other things will be discussed in detail.

If you dare to tell Auroran about this, you will definitely regret it.

Virgie got up and returned the letter to the captain of the garrison: "Flora is really crazy! In order to launch a counterattack, she actually did something that caused trouble to her family! Don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in me, and I promise that your daughter will not lose a single hair." ”

The captain of the garrison was grateful: "I'm so confused, I can't think of anything, everything depends on Brother Virgil!"

As soon as the two men walked out of the hotel, the banker's skinny uncle rushed over and threw himself at Vicky's feet.

"Please, please save my son!" said the banker, with a clear snot on his nose, and a completely ungodly appearance, "She kidnapped my son and asked me to exchange Yuri with her, and I must not tell Her Highness Auloran to know, otherwise her men will not show mercy." ”

The captain of the garrison looked dark: "Why can't you even ......?"

"Is this happening to you, man?" said the banker, who was slightly calmer than the captain, "so you're here for Virgie's help?"

"That's right. That's the only idea I can think of. ”

The banker said angrily, "Then let's go and get Yuri out and exchange him for hostages." ”

"But to release Yuri, and to ensure that His Royal Highness the prince does not know, how can this kind of thing be done?"

Virgie took out a bottle of glittering elixir from his bosom: "Shhh, don't be surprised by what I'm going to say next. We don't have to release Yuri, just find someone to take this elixir, and we can become exactly like Yuri. To exchange it for the children, such a fake is enough. ”

"There is still this hand!" the captain of the garrison was very excited, and quickly covered his mouth again, "Does this potion work?"

"Rest assured, it will definitely work. This potion was specially prepared by Flora to sell us. ”

Virgie clenched the medicine bottle angrily: "I'm just afraid she can't imagine that the potion she used to harm people will eventually be used to deceive herself one day." ”

The captain of the guard and the banker coerce and convince a thief to pretend to be Yuri to exchange hostages.

"Don't worry, the character you are going to play is the prisoner's partner, and she won't do anything to you. As long as you do this, I will write off the previous crimes with you. ”

"There is also a reward of 100,000 gold coins. ”

The little thief nodded, drank the potion, and sure enough, he became exactly like Yuri, and was blindfolded and his hands tied, and he was taken to the exchange place agreed with Flora.

The agreed place is an elegant and literary small café. Virgie stayed in the carriage with the little thief, and the captain of the guard and the banker walked into the gate together nervously, and a hundred terrible images appeared in his mind, but he did not understand why Flora, who had become a kidnapper, chose such a place as the place of trade.

The carved wooden doorbell jingles open, and the maid resting at the bar opens her sleepy eyes and fumbles for the menu at hand. On the white tablecloth is a ceramic vase with cracks in blue and white cracks, the lilies in the vase are fragrant in the warm afternoon sun, and the crystal dew drops on the petals sleep quietly.

Flora was sitting at the corner table, dressed in a lovely white lace dress, reading a gentle picture book for children. Seeing the two adults walking into the store uneasily, she waved them to sit down and drink what they liked, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered in the sunlight like a dreamy misty glow.

She didn't have kidnapped children or vicious accomplices around her, she just sat there alone.

The captain of the guard and the banker looked at each other nervously, not daring to make a mistake, so they could only sit in front of Flora.

Flora smiled like a flower, and did not ask where Yuri was, but said in an innocent and lively tone: "My hometown has changed much more than I imagined in the past ten years, only this small coffee shop is still exactly the same as when I left." ”

Flora said coquettishly: "Now, there used to be a very interesting little market near Lanyumen, there were all kinds of strange goods, and now I don't know where they have been moved. Can you tell me?"

The two uncles looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Flora's gourd, so they had to answer honestly.

For the next hour, Flora didn't mention anything about kidnapping, just chatted casually, which cake was delicious, which minister's daughter turned out to be very cute when she grew up, the new building of the Academy of Magic was very mismatched, and the newly erected Mysteries Eagle transportation line made it very convenient to travel. If someone watched and saw Flora's smile clear and sweet, and the two uncles talked politely, they would not think that this was a scene of a hostage transaction, but that it was just the most ordinary conversation between friends of all ages.
