Chapter 39 Tu Boshu's farewell

Tu Boshu gave Li Qi five hundred taels at once, and he immediately spun the fortune wheel ten times.

I won the prize nine times out of ten and failed to win only once.

The nine gifts were either tea sets or wine glasses. The packaging boxes were very delicate, but the contents inside were very common after being opened.

It's just like the tea cups and wine utensils in ordinary teahouses.

"Brother Tu, do you want to come a few more times?" Li Qi came up and asked.

Tu Boshu played with the fan in his hand and said: "Brother Li, this lucky wheel is really amazing, I admire you."

Li Qi was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows: "Do you see the secret behind this?"

Tu Boshu smiled and said nothing, looking "natural".

This lucky wheel seems to be rich in prizes, but if you study it carefully, you will find something fishy.

The big prizes are the same size as the non-winning areas, and they don't seem to be out of place at first glance, but when it comes to spinning, the probability of winning is very low.

The area for other prizes is very large, which gives people the impression that I can win even if I randomly turn around, but ignores that the probability of winning the big prize is very low.

These tea sets look like the same thing, but in fact they are not worth even a tael of silver.

Spending 88 taels and drawing once, it can be said that it is a sure profit without any loss.

"Brother Li, this trick is really clever. I wonder how you came up with it?" Tu Boshu asked.

Li Qi smiled and said: "This is called stimulating consumption."

"To stimulate consumption?" Tu Boshu nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment he smiled, "What a way to stimulate consumption. Brother Li is really a strange person."

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Li Qi cupped his hands and said with a smile.

The two returned to the private room, and Tu Boshu explained the purpose of his visit.

"I have offended a lot of things about Mr. Li before. I came here this time just to apologize to Brother Li." Tu Bo wrote.

Li Qi didn't take this matter to heart at all. Although he felt unhappy about being framed, after all, his ability was limited now and he was unfamiliar with the place. If he rashly retaliated, he might cause trouble.

Tu Boshu saw that Li Qi was not angry and continued, "Luo Zhiyuan has been thrown into prison."

Li Qi was a little confused and asked: "What's going on?"

Tu Boshu explained that it turned out that Luo Zhiyuan found the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang and asked him to make friends with Li Qi, and then sent someone to secretly poison him.

The shopkeeper of Jinxiufang didn't know that his wine glass was poisonous, and he died suddenly on the spot after drinking it. As for the team leader, Luo Zhiyuan had arranged it in advance.

In this way, both the person and the person obtained the stolen goods, and Li Qi was convicted of murder.

Luo Zhiyuan's plan was very clever, but he missed one thing.

That is, in the Daxia Dynasty, an era that relied on interpersonal relationships, all conspiracies were zero in terms of human relationships.

This is why when Tu Boshu went to find the prefect, he only needed a little nudge and the prefect released Li Qi directly.

After understanding the cause and effect, Li Qi sighed and said: "The world is really dangerous..."

"This time I came to see Brother Li for one more thing," Tu Bo wrote.

"What's the matter?"

"This audit has come to an end, and I have to leave Jincheng."

Li Qi was stunned: "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going back to Dadu."

Li Qi knew that Dadu was the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. Besides Dadu, the most prosperous city was the capital.

Hearing that Tu Boshu was leaving, Li Qi was a little reluctant to leave, but there was nothing he could do.

Although I have a good relationship with her, after all, we haven't reached the level of life-and-death friendship. If she wants to go home, is it possible that she has to stop her from leaving?

"But before I leave, I have something to say to Brother Li."

Tu Boshu lowered his voice and said: "On the way from Jiangyun Town to Jincheng, the person who came to assassinate Brother Li has been identified...as Liusha Pavilion."

"Liusha Pavilion?"

Tu Boshu nodded: "This is the most famous killer organization in the world..."

Killer organization?

Li Qi couldn't help but ponder.

"Brother Li, I'm afraid you have to be more careful in the future. As long as Liusha Pavilion accepts a task, it will never give up until it is completed." Tu Boshu reminded.

"Thank you, Brother Tu." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.

Tu Boshu waved his fan and said, "If one day, Brother Li comes to Dadu, he must come to me. I will definitely take care of Brother Li."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Qi sent Tu Boshu to the door of Cuihong Building.

When he returned to the inner courtyard, he did not go to his room, but went to find Lu Jinshuang.

This Liusha Pavilion is considered to be his biggest threat at present. He has to find a way to solve it. Otherwise, a killer will appear from time to time, and how can he let people live?

Among the Jianghu people Li Qi knew, the only one he was relatively familiar with was Lu Jinshuang. It would be easier to ask her about the situation of Liusha Pavilion.

Lu Jinshuang's wing is at the far west. After going around the courtyard, there is a rockery. From the rockery, you can reach where she lives.

When Li Qi came over, he happened to see a maid sitting at the door, looking blankly at the white snow in the yard.

I heard Xiao Man say before that Lu Jinshuang brought back a maid, could this be what happened?

"Excuse me……"

Just as Li Qi opened his mouth, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and before he could react, a dagger was already pressed against his throat.

"Slowly..." Li Qi looked at the maid in front of him in confusion. What's going on with him?

Ji Shanyu looked at the strange man in front of her with cold eyes: "Who are you?"

"I...I am..."

Li Qi was a little confused when asked, "This fucking Cuihong Building is obviously my property, but you live in it and you don't know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Li Qi asked unhappily.

Ji Shanyu had no intention of answering him, but instead pointed the dagger at his neck.

Li Qi was so frightened that he quickly said: "I am Li Qi! The owner of Cuihonglou!"

Hearing this answer, Ji Shanyu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she took the dagger back after a moment.

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is Lu Jinshuang?"

"She's not here."

"Where are you going?"

"have no idea."

"Are you her maid?" Li Qi asked again.

Ji Shanyu did not speak, but turned around and walked into the side room.

Looking at the closed door, Li Qi couldn't help but thought to himself: "This woman doesn't look like a maid at all. She draws a knife whenever she disagrees with her, and she's also cold..."

What the hell is Lu Jinshuang doing? Why does he bring everyone here?

Forget it, I have paid for the house anyway, and the woman will leave when spring comes, so I'll bear with it for the time being.

After walking back to the room, Li Qi sat on a chair, leaning on his chin, and started emo again.

Who could it be that ordered Liusha Pavilion to kill me?

Why do you want to kill me?
