After a while, there was a crackling movement outside.
Then, the restaurant door creaked shut and stopped.
Caiyan came back with an excited face.
After only a few days of guidance from the master, she felt that she was making rapid progress.
I just regret that there are too few people in the restaurant. Before all the ancient power in my body is used up, everyone is done.
Not long after, Yuchuan stared at the kitchen as a group of people filed into the kitchen to serve food.
Ning Yue looked at these dishes and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, the people in the kitchen were also knocked unconscious and tied up in the lobby.
Ning Yue greeted everyone: "Come on, it's hard to refuse the hospitality of Mr. Lu, so let's just eat. Don't be polite."
Cui Manning has been eating thick rice balls on the road, and I haven't seen these big fish and meat for a long time.
She unceremoniously tore off two chicken legs, tore off half of the chicken legs in one bite, swiped left and right, and ate until her mouth was full of oil.
Lu Zhaolin's eyes widened when he saw a lady suddenly eating so boldly.
Cui Manning scolded him: "What are you looking at? Do you want me to pour you another glass of wine?"
Lu Zhaolin quickly closed his eyes tightly and shook his head desperately.
The other people usually eat well, but they eat more reservedly.
Only You Ren, while eating, felt disgusted: "You dare to be a cook with this skill? The fish has no flavor at all, and this, this, it's all for nothing."
Ning Yue slowly gnawed on a duck foot while looking at the sky outside.
It's almost dark.
Cui Maning was full and finally became a little worried: "Ms. Ning, let's go. The Lu family will be here soon."
Lu Zhaolin nodded wildly: "Let me go, I promise not to hold you accountable, let you leave safely, and give you another two thousand taels of silver!"
Ning Yue smiled softly: "Oh? Mr. Lu has such a huge net worth, but his life is only worth two thousand taels?"
Lu Zhaolin quickly changed his words: "Twenty thousand taels! Twenty thousand taels! I have a banknote with me! I'll have the rest delivered right away!"
"Twenty thousand is very little."
Ning Yue pulled off Lu Zhaolin's purse and turned it over.
This man actually had 11,000 taels of silver notes in his wallet, as well as some scattered silver.
Who told him to bump into them just after paying the bill on the street?
Ning Yue accepted it unceremoniously.
Then she said to Caiyan: "Go find a few suitcases and pack all the untouched dishes back to eat. If there are any good things in the kitchen, bring them all."
Caiyan took the order and left.
Only then did Youchuan remember a few pastries in his arms, and he showed them to Ning Yue.
Ning Yue smelled it, then looked at Lu Zhaolin with an inexperienced look.
Then, smile.
Lu Zhaolin trembled.
This woman is so seductive without even realizing it, she is clearly a big bad wolf in rabbit skin.
Youchuan picked up two pieces and walked towards Lu Zhaolin.
When Lu Zhaolin saw it, he shook his head vigorously, his back almost touching the back of the chair, as if looking at a savage beast.
It's a pity that Youchuan is not Cui Manning. Two pieces of pastry were stuffed into his mouth in a few seconds, and a large glass of wine was poured into his mouth. Then his chin was tightly held, and he was not allowed to spit it out.
Lu Zhaolin was almost suffocated to death and had to swallow it.
I was secretly glad that the cake was only filled with aphrodisiac and could not kill anyone.
While packing, an angry voice came from outside: "Where is the thief! Open the door quickly!"
Lu Zhaolin was so excited that he burst into tears: "Brother Zhou, you are here!"
Cui Maning hurriedly looked at Ning Yue with complicated eyes.
She still couldn't believe that her grandfather's students would collude with such a person and bring disaster to one party.
Ning Yue raised her eyebrows, "Don't give up?"
Cui Manning was silent.
Ning Yue looked at Youchuan: "Tie her up!"
Cui Manning was in a mess and was about to struggle: "Why are you tying me up?"
Ning Yue chuckled: "Let you give up."
Standing outside was County Magistrate Zhou, who was worthy of being a close friend. Both of them had identical beards.
It's just that County Magistrate Zhou is more lively than Lu Zhaolin, and his belly is already five months pregnant.
Behind them were more than twenty official servants.
There were a dozen strong men standing next to him, all dressed in brown shorts. They were probably the guards of the Lu family.
She asked You Ren to cover Lu Zhaolin's mouth, and then she covered her face. Through the door and window, she pointed at Cui Manning, whose hands were tied, and said harshly to Magistrate Zhou: "Your Excellency, Magistrate, do you know this person?"
Magistrate Zhou did not dare to step forward.
Ning Yue sent her forward again. He squinted his eyes and observed for a long time before he said uncertainly: "Are you the granddaughter of the former prime minister?"
Cui Manning immediately shouted: "Exactly, Mr. Zhou, help me quickly, they kidnapped me on the road to exile."
Ning Yue interrupted her and said to Magistrate Zhou: "She and Prime Minister Cui are both in our hands. I heard that you were once a student of Prime Minister Cui. You only need to pay five thousand taels to redeem them. Your Excellency, I think this money How's the deal going?"
County Magistrate Zhou Jiejie laughed a few times: "Five thousand taels? Bah! Five taels! No! I won't even give you five copper coins! You killed them, and I still want to thank you."
Cui Manning's eyes widened in surprise: "Zhou Fuqiao, when you were rushing to take the exam, you couldn't pay the hotel bill, and you were beaten up in the street by the shopkeeper. It was my grandfather who saved you. He admired your knowledge and specially asked people to give you advice. How did you do it? So ungrateful!”
Magistrate Zhou rushed to the door and window, held the window lattice with his hands, and said through gritted teeth: "Ungrateful? He gave me a little kindness, but almost destroyed me! I want to be released as an official, and I want to ask him to do something good for me. He was a good place! He specifically pointed out the poorest place to me. I had studied so hard for so many years! Was it just to go to a place where no one shits and suffer?! I endured three years and finally prepared for it. He got a big gift and sent it to your family without hesitation, just asking for a better place for me. Instead, he exposed me, causing me to get a low grade in the evaluation! I almost shed my skin. If I hadn't also given Lu Guo My uncle gave me a gift, but my life will be cut off in his hands! I can’t wait to eat his flesh alive!”
Cui Manning looked at his angry look and took a step back in disbelief.
This man had visited Cui Mansion several times, and he responded to her requests and brought her snacks. She thought that Magistrate Zhou was grateful to her grandfather for his kindness.
But it turned out that he hated his grandfather and the Cui family.
County Magistrate Zhou was excited and glared at Ning Yue fiercely: "You can kill the Cui family as you please, let Brother Lu go, or I will set you all on fire."
Lu Zhaolin felt waves of heat running through his lower abdomen, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart.
He couldn't help but licked the palm of You Ren's hand that was covering his mouth.
You Ren jumped away in an instant, his eyes widened as big as a cow, like a decent woman who had just been cheated by a gangster, with a face full of shame and anger.
Caiyan saw his expression and couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at his palms, then at Lu Zhaolin, and then at everyone with aggrieved eyes.
I'm dirty...
Lu Zhaolin got rid of the shackles of You Ren, and as soon as his mouth was free, he forced his consciousness and shouted downstairs: "Brother Zhou, I'm in there too, don't set fire!"
Ning Yue said lazily: "He set the fire just because he knew you were inside. If you die, your entire Lu Mansion's property will be his."
Lu Zhaolin was shocked. His brain, which was about to be taken over by the drugs, temporarily regained consciousness. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was really the case.
