When arriving at Jinbao Pavilion, Li Qi found Jin Dayuan.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a big belly, fat head and big ears. He is wearing exquisite silk clothes. He looks like he is living a good life.
When he saw Li Qi and Yan Yuejun, he was smiling, and the fat on his face made it difficult to open his eyes.
"Do you know what we are here for?" Li Qi looked at him and asked.
Jin Dayuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded with a smile: "I know..."
"Since we know, it's easy to handle." Li Qi glanced at Yan Yuejun and said, "Deputy Commander Yan, how about taking him back for trial?"
Yan Yuejun smiled and nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the bad guy standing behind him rushed forward.
When Jin Dayuan saw this, he suddenly knelt on the ground: "Sir! Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? Did you kill Zhang Yuanwai's wife?" Li Qi asked.
"No!" Jin Dayuan shook his head like a rattle and said, "Yesterday, Zhang Yuanwai invited me to have a drink at his house today. I was delayed because of something, so I went a little late. By the time I arrived at his house
, found that the door was open, and walked in..."
"Then you saw Zhang Yuanwai's wife, and your bestiality arose, and you wanted to plot something against her. If she didn't obey you, you would kill her, right?" Li Qi coldly shouted.
"It's unfair! Sir! When I passed by, Zhang Yuanwai's wife had died tragically. I was scared and ran back. I had nothing to do with this matter... Your Excellency is aware of it!"
Jin Dayuan kept kneeling on the ground and kowtow.
Li Qi was slightly startled and glanced at Yan Yuejun standing aside.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Yan Yuejun's eyes, and after a moment he said to Jin Dayuan: "Stretch out your hand."
Hearing this, Jin Dayuan stretched out his hands and saw Yan Yuejun touching his hands and squeezing them. Finally, he looked at Li Qi and said, "He is not the murderer."
"How do you know?" Li Qi was slightly stunned.
Yan Yuejun said: "I have seen the corpse. Zhang Yuanwai's wife was decapitated with one knife, and the knife cut off the joint perfectly... This shows that the murderer is a martial arts master and is good at using a knife."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Jin Dayuan who was standing aside and said: "This man has no calluses on his hands, and is too weak to cut off a human head..."
Li Qi couldn't help but admire Yan Yuejun. He was indeed a bad person and he paid attention to every detail.
Li Qi knew nothing about investigating crimes. Apart from some knowledge and cleverness, it was basically impossible for him to track down the murderer.
After coming out of Jinbao Pavilion, Li Qi asked Yan Yuejun to go to a restaurant for dinner, and Yan Yuejun did not refuse.
After a group of people arrived at a restaurant, Li Qi called the waiter over without saying a word: "I've served all your signature dishes and brought me the best wine."
As he said this, Li Qi took out a banknote and handed it over. When the waiter saw the banknote, he immediately said respectfully: "Sir, wait a moment, they will be here soon."
After the waiter went down, Li Qi said to Yan Yuejun: "Brother Yan, I wonder what you think of this case?"
Yan Yuejun picked up the tea cup and said as if it had nothing to do with him: "What can I say? I'm just here to assist you, Mr. Li. As for what to do, you can just tell me."
Although the official positions of Daxia Delinquents have no rank, even officials of third rank or above may not be able to command them.
They do not belong to the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of War.
When I was in Jincheng last time, the reason why Uncle Guo asked them to handle this matter was because he didn't want to alert the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment.
If the uncle of the state asks the officers and soldiers to arrest someone, then there will be procedures, and the procedures need to be reported to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment for filing.
So what bad people do on a daily basis are shady things, wiping the butts of the royal family and high officials.
Yan Yuejun didn't pay attention to officials in name only like Li Qi.
And the reason for giving face to Li Qi, to put it bluntly, is to give face to Prince Jiang.
No one else knows about the people Prince Jiang has placed in Kyoto, but the bad guys know them very well.
This is why Yan Yuejun and Wang Husheng were able to tell that he was Prince Jiang's man when he saw the official uniform Li Qi was wearing.
"Brother Yan is really good at joking..." Li Qi smiled and said, "Brother Yan actually has some misunderstandings about me, I can understand... What I admire the most is people like Brother Yan, and I also like to make friends like this.
…”
As he spoke, Li Qi gritted his teeth and took out all the banknotes on his body.
A thick stack, at least ten thousand taels.
The purpose of his coming to Kyoto is to save people and find out the death of Concubine Liu. Although these things have not been revealed so far, they will inevitably encounter some problems in the future.
He doesn't want to be watched all the time. The most important thing is that what he does in Jincheng is likely to expose his identity.
Li Qi didn't know why the government canceled his wanted order in the first place, but he knew that when he was in Jincheng, Yan Yuejun was the leader of the arrest operation.
If you don't build a good relationship with him, there might be some trouble in the future.
In order to avoid trouble, he spent a lot of money...
Yan Yuejun knew that Li Qi was very cunning, and also knew that he liked to use money to bribe people.
When he was in Jincheng before, the reason why he didn't refuse Li Qi's money was mainly because he felt that if he didn't take it, it would be free, and it wouldn't be much anyway.
But now that he saw Li Qi taking out so much money at once, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Although ten thousand taels is nothing in Kyoto, not everyone can afford such a large amount of money.
Let's take Jin Dayuan as an example. He owns a gold shop and looks very wealthy, but it is impossible for him to spend ten thousand taels.
Yan Yuejun did not take the money directly this time, but smiled and said: "Master Li is really generous."
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount, and Yan Yuejun doesn't know where Li Qi got so much money. He is afraid of getting into trouble if he accepts it rashly.
Seeing that he had no intention of accepting it, Li Qi smiled and said: "Brother Yan, you don't know something. I am actually a businessman. When I was in Jincheng, you also knew that I was a brothel owner...
Thanks to the prince’s respect, my little brother, I came to work under him.”
He paused and continued: "I know that Brother Yan is a tough guy and doesn't care about things like money, but this is the only thing I can bring out...Brother Yan, Qian
Don't be polite to me, I really want to make friends with Brother Yan."
While saying these words, Li Qi suddenly thought of two famous sayings from his time.
I'm not interested in money...
When I make friends, I never care whether they have money or not. Anyway, they are not as rich as me...
