Li Qi is not stupid, he certainly knows why Ji Shanyu committed suicide with her own hands.
Because only in this way can he tell the officials that Li Qi and Ji Shanyu have nothing to do with each other.
This was also Ji Shanyu's last struggle.
Of course Li Qi also knew that the Dongmen Tea Shop she told him about was obviously where the baby was.
When he was taken to an unknown location, no one came to question Li Qi. He was sitting in a room with officers and soldiers guarding the door.
Sitting like this, several hours passed, and he kept mentally building himself up.
You didn't kill her. You saw the situation at that time. She took your hand and committed suicide.
Li Qi, Li Qi, you can't leave any psychological shadow on yourself.
You are a time traveler, a man who wants to become the Pirate King...
When the door was pushed open, Yan Yuejun walked in, followed by two attendants, holding something in their hands.
"Isn't Li Qi the owner of Cuihong Mansion?" Yan Yuejun asked.
Li Qi came back to his senses, raised his head and glanced at the man in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a green robe and a gold-patterned belt around his waist. He was thin and had two deep bags under his eyes.
A mustache.
Li Qi nodded.
"You help the imperial court kill important criminals, and you will be rewarded based on your merits..."
As Yan Yuejun waved his hand, the two followers behind him stepped forward and handed over what they were holding.
Pulling open the silk above, I saw two large plates of silver.
"Three thousand taels of silver are rewarded to you by my uncle."
"Uncle Guo?" Li Qi was a little confused.
"Yes, you can leave after receiving the money."
…
When Li Qi returned to Cuihong Mansion, Liu's mother and her party happily greeted her.
"My boss, you are really amazing. You killed an imperial prisoner..."
"Now the whole Jincheng knows that you are a great hero."
…
Li Qi was a little confused. Did the news spread so quickly?
Surrounded by everyone, he came to the backyard.
I saw that the yard had been cleaned, and several carpenters were repairing the broken wooden door.
As soon as he saw this familiar scene, Li Qi's stomach churned: "Mother Liu, give me another room..."
"Okay, boss."
Mother Liu didn't seem to care at all that someone died in the yard last night, just as if nothing happened.
After arriving in the new room, Li Qi was tired and sleepy. He lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. Ji Shanyu's appearance was all in his mind.
That woman with ordinary appearance but extremely high martial arts died like this?
Things are really unpredictable, the big intestine wraps up the small intestine...
It seems that if I want to survive in this era in the future, I will have to face a lot.
Ji Shanyu died, what should I do with my poison?
Thinking about it, Li Qi felt that his eyelids were incredibly heavy and he tried to open them, but to no avail.
Eventually he gradually fell asleep.
…
In the back garden of the Prefect's Mansion, a man in brocade clothes stood in the stone pavilion, with his hands behind his back, quietly admiring the plum blossoms that were bent a bit by the snow.
There were two guards with swords standing beside him.
Yan Yuejun came to the pavilion from a short distance away, knelt down on one knee outside the pavilion and said, "I would like to inform my uncle, the person has been released."
"Has his identity been found out?"
"I found out clearly that this person is the owner of Cuihong House."
"A brothel owner actually killed Concubine Liu's personal bodyguard..." After the man said this, he stretched out his hand and gently flicked the snow on the plum blossom away, "Should I say that you bad people are incompetent? Or should I say that Ji Shanyu is very capable?
"
"Subordinates deserve to die..."
"Haha... It's not like you deserve to die, and I don't have the right to punish you. However, I advise you to find the child as soon as possible. It will be better for everyone. Otherwise, I won't be able to pay the job by then, so I will have no choice but to
It’s said that you bad people are doing things poorly.”
The man laughed as he spoke and turned around, only to see his handsome face, his complexion was as white as snow, and his pair of sword-shaped eyebrows were calm and intimidating.
"Go ahead. I hope you will bring back good news next time you come to see me."
"yes!"
…
When Li Qi woke up, it was already dark.
After not eating for a day, my stomach started to growl involuntarily.
Looking at the food on the table, he walked over and sat down: "Mama Liu is quite thoughtful..."
"I prepared it for you."
When Lu Jinshuang opened the door and walked in, she was holding a bowl of hot beef soup in her hand.
After placing the soup bowl on the table, she filled a bowl for Li Qi.
Has this woman changed her temper?
Why are you still serving me?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm going to prepare something to eat for you. I need your help for something." Lu Jinshuang said.
Li Qi thought to himself: I just said this woman has no good intentions.
"Where did you go last night?" Li Qi asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you know what happened last night?"
"Of course I know, everyone in the city knows." Lu Jinshuang said, "There is a notice posted outside that the owner of Cuihong Mansion will kill the imperial prisoners..."
Li Qi was startled: "Have you posted a notice?"
Lu Jinshuang nodded: "I didn't realize that you actually have such ability."
"Ji Shanyu died, don't you feel anything at all?"
"She is not related to me, so how should I feel?"
"She is the person you brought to Cuihonglou."
"So what?" Lu Jinshuang said calmly, "I'm just following orders, what does it have to do with me whether she lives or dies?"
"Aren't you killers particularly cold-blooded?" Li Qi said helplessly.
Lu Jinshuang didn't say anything, but took out a banknote.
"What are you doing?"
"I told you I need your help with something."
Li Qi glanced at the banknote with a face value of one thousand taels: "What's going on? I won't commit murder or arson..."
"Don't worry, I won't let you do such a thing."
"You still have some conscience." Li Qi took the banknote and said, "If anything happens, just tell me."
"You killed a prisoner of the imperial court. The prefect sent an invitation and asked you to come over tomorrow night to talk about it..." Lu Jinshuang took out a piece of paper and said, "When the time comes, you can go over and take me with you."
"What do you want to do?" Li Qi was surprised, "You don't want to use this to assassinate the prefect, do you?"
Lu Jinshuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone this time."
"Your martial arts skills are so good, why do you need me to take you in? You just flew in..."
Lu Jinshuang said: "Now the Taishou Mansion is heavily guarded and there are also bad people. It is too dangerous to sneak in."
Li Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this: "It's not impossible to take you in, but you have to tell me first, what do you want to do in there?"
"Meeting someone." Lu Jinshuang said.
"who?"
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Li Qi thought for a moment and was a little undecided.
