It was really because Ali's carriage was a bit narrow, and Master Wu Nian took up most of the space alone.

Su Li nodded in agreement. In order to pretend to be poor yesterday, she even hired the worst carriage.

Afraid that the flower thief would wake up halfway, she got into the carriage and sprinkled him with a handful of Ecstasy Powder before getting on Pei Mingyue's carriage.

"Huh? Where are your maids?" After the carriage started, Su Li realized that Pei Mingyue's two maids did not get on the carriage.

"I sent them back to my mother's place. I feel uncomfortable having people following me around all the time."

Su Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, then changed the subject: "Ayue, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

Su Li took out the wanted poster from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Mingyue: "Take a look."

"What?" Pei Mingyue was puzzled. She took the wanted poster and opened it. "Wanted poster for a flower thief? Ah Li, have you found the flower thief?"

Su Li nodded and said lightly: "Master Wu Nian is the flower thief."

When she goes into the city, she will hand the flower thief over to the Dali Temple. Normally, the Dali Temple is not responsible for simple theft cases. Pei Mingyue is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, and she must know this common sense. She will always ask about it later, so it is better to tell her now. Moreover, as far as she knows, Pei Chuan, the Minister of the Dali Temple, is also Pei Mingyue's uncle. With him around, Pei Mingyue will know about this sooner or later.

"What! Ah Li, are you kidding me? Nun Wu Nian is a woman. Even if she's a man dressed as a woman, her face is completely different from the flower thief on the wanted poster."

Nun Wu Nian has small, single eyelids and a very obvious square chin, while the person on the wanted poster has double eyelids, big eyes, a pointed chin, and a different face shape. They are two completely different faces.

"That's why the flower thief seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one has found him until now."

Pei Mingyue couldn't believe it: "You mean, he changed his appearance?"

Su Li nodded: "That's right." In the original novel, it was not until the flower thief was arrested that everyone knew that the flower thief was also a master of disguise.

"Is there really such a superb disguise technique in this world?" Pei Mingyue exclaimed in amazement.

She often accompanied her mother to Qingyou Temple and had face-to-face contact with Master Wunian several times, but she did not find any signs of her disguise.

Suddenly thinking of how she and her mother had come into close contact with a notorious flower thief several times, her scalp tingled unconsciously. It wasn't because she was afraid, but because she felt disgusted.

Pei Mingyue quickly reacted: "Just now in the dining room, you said he was a thief. Were you afraid that if the news of the flower thief in Qingyou Temple spread, it would affect the women who had been to Qingyou Temple?"

She was a girl from aristocratic family, and what she had heard the most since she was a child was that women should keep themselves clean and cherish their reputations. If this matter were to spread, who knows how many women's reputations would be damaged.

Su Li replied: "Yes."

Pei Mingyue looked at Su Li and praised her sincerely, "Ali, you are really smart and thoughtful."

If she caught a flower thief, she would probably confess directly when asked and would not think too much about it.

Su Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Third. I'm really unworthy of it."

Pei Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "A-Li, you are so humorous, hahahaha..."

When they arrived at the city gate, Pei Mingyue showed the token to the guard, and the guard let them pass directly. The two carriages quickly entered the city.

Pei Mingyue suggested handing the person over directly to her uncle, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Su Li was more than happy not to have to go through that villain, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

In fact, in the original novel, the flower thief was caught by the Dali Temple a month later.

That was right after Pei Ji passed the imperial examination and was transferred to the Dali Temple. He unraveled the case and found the hiding place of the flower thief in just five days.

After Zhu Wei, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, sent people to capture the flower thief, he erased Pei Ji's credit and took all the credit for himself. In the end, all the credit and the prince's 100,000 yuan reward were his.

This was the first and only loss Pei Ji suffered when he first entered the court as an official.

Pei Ji was already intelligent, and after learning his lesson, he quickly grew in stature. Within half a year, he had deposed Zhu Wei and ascended to the position of Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. His career continued to rise steadily...

So, anyway, it was Pei Ji's achievement. Instead of letting that villain Zhu Wei take the credit a month later, it would be better for her to catch the flower thief early and pocket the million-dollar reward first.

With Pei Mingyue as a backdoor agent, Su Li doesn't have to worry about anything.

When they arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, Pei Mingyue first asked the guards to find her uncle, the Dali Temple Minister. After a while, Pei Chuan directly sent people to bring Su Li, Pei Mingyue, and the flower thief who was still unconscious in the carriage into the Shaoqing's room.

The Shaoqing Room is where the Dali Temple Minister handles cases, but when the few people entered, only the Dali Temple Minister Pei Chuan and two subordinates were there.

"Uncle!" Pei Mingyue called out with a smile.

"Su Li greets His Excellency." Su Li bowed slightly and saluted. In the Great Jin State, the wives of those who had the title of scholar or above did not have to kneel before officials.

At this time, she discovered that being Pei Ji's wife did have its advantages. At least as she came from a modern society where everyone was equal, she didn't have to kneel before everyone she met.

After a brief explanation, the serious Pei Chuan frowned and glanced at Nun Wunian lying on the ground, then looked at Su Li: "You said she is the flower thief?"

Su Li said, "That's right, but this person has changed his appearance." As he said that, he tore off the disguise on the face of Master Wu Nian on the ground. Soon, the person on the ground revealed his true appearance.

Su Li directly tore open his lapel and took out the cotton cloth that the flower thief had padded on his chest, which stunned everyone present.

He is indeed a man!

He's a man with a changed appearance!
