After agreeing to Lu Jinshuang, Li Qi went to the prefect's mansion the next day.
But he didn't go to find any prefect's wife, he didn't have the interest.
Now that the gold ring is in my hand, there is no need to go to the prefect's wife. All I have to do is pretend to get it back.
It's just that you have to pretend, you can't succeed as soon as you come over, otherwise Lu Jinshuang will definitely be suspicious.
For several days in a row, Li Qi ran towards the prefect's mansion every day.
At first he went there by himself in a carriage, but later the prefect sent a carriage to pick him up.
And every time he went there, he was not empty-handed. He basically prepared some fine jade stones, saying that he would take them to the prefect's palm.
The bad guys were also very confused about Li Qi suddenly running towards the Prefect's Mansion every day, but they had spies in the Prefect's Mansion and his every move was under their surveillance.
"Did you find out anything?" Yan Yuejun came to the cell door and asked.
"Deputy Commander Qi Yan, I think they really don't know anything. They have all been tortured."
"have no idea?"
Yan Yuejun was a little upset. Damn it, could it be that Ji Shanyu really didn't say anything to Li Qi?
Or, Li Qi already knew that he was investigating him, so...
Thinking about it, he said to his subordinates: "Let everyone go. You go to Cuihong Building and search it carefully for me."
"yes!"
After leaving the prison, Yan Yuejun hurried to the prefect's mansion and met Li Qi coming out of it.
He jumped off his horse and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Dong Li, are you here to visit the prefect again?"
"It turns out to be Deputy Commander Yan." Li Qi said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"I would like to invite Dong Li's family to have a drink. I wonder if Dong Li's family is free?" Yan Yuejun said with a smile.
Li Qi's heart trembled, what does this guy want to do?
Buy me a drink?
Could it be that he found something?
No! If he found out something, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as buying me a drink.
It seems that this guy didn't find anything, so he wanted to talk to me.
"Then why are you embarrassed? How about I buy Deputy Commander Yan a drink?" Li Qi said.
"That's okay, it will cost Dong Li's family money."
"If so, it would be an honor for me to invite Deputy Commander Yan for a drink."
Li Qi got on the carriage and Yan Yuejun rode the horse.
After a while, the two came to a nearby restaurant. After sitting down in the restaurant, Li Qi unceremoniously gave the waiter ten taels of silver: "Bring over your best wine and food."
"Okay, okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter took the money and stepped back.
Seeing that Li Qi was so generous, Yan Yuejun smiled and said: "The Li Dong family is really generous. A glass of wine only cost me half a month's salary."
"It depends on who you are drinking with. If I was drinking by myself, I would naturally be reluctant to spend so much money, but drinking with Deputy Commander Yan would be the same. Naturally, I can't be shabby."
Soon the waiter brought the wine, and Li Qi first poured a glass for Yan Yuejun, and then poured another glass for himself.
"I dedicate this glass of wine to Vice Admiral Yan." Li Qi drank it all in one gulp.
Yan Yuejun's eyes were thoughtful, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.
"Dong Li, I heard that Ji Shanyu had been hiding in the Cuihong Mansion for quite some time. Is it possible that you didn't realize that she was a prisoner of the imperial court?" Yan Yuejun asked tentatively.
"This is exactly what I want to tell Deputy Commander Yan. I really didn't know that she was a prisoner of the imperial court before. We have many girls in Cuihonglou. The handymen and cooks are all women.
.Except for a few old turtle slaves, I can’t remember who they are at all.”
Li Qi smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of Deputy Commander Yan's jokes. My boss's work is not easy at all. Before the city was closed and curfewed, Cuihonglou's business was not very good. Later... Of course I'm not saying that
If there is any complaint, it’s just that Cuihonglou is really not easy.”
"I originally thought that I could make some money by converting the Cuihong Building into an inn. But who knew that a court prisoner was hidden inside. That night, I was really scared to death. It was the first time I killed someone. At that time, I
I was just thinking that this person named Ji is actually a prisoner of the imperial court, and I can’t let her go no matter what I say..."
"When she rushed in front of me, she was hit by an arrow. Only then did I have the opportunity to serve the imperial court..."
Having said this, Li Qi smiled and took out two banknotes and handed them over: "Deputy Commander Yan, here are two thousand taels... One thousand taels for you to drink when you have nothing to do, and the other one thousand taels for your troubles."
Deputy Commander Yan gave a reward to the brothers that night. If you hadn’t appeared, my life might have been lost..."
Looking at the banknote handed over, Yan Yuejun was a little surprised.
This man is really brave. He dares to bribe me?
Yan Yuejun shifted his gaze from the bank notes to Li Qi, smiled slightly and said, "Do you know that bribing court officials is a serious crime?"
Li Qi pretended to be frightened: "Ah? How can this be considered a bribe?"
Damn it, is this guy still doing this to me?
"As the saying goes, bribery means asking someone to do something. I have no intention of asking Deputy Commander Yan to do something for me." Li Qiyi said sternly, "As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. I am a businessman and have never read
What kind of book is this? I still understand this truth. These silver coins were rewarded by my uncle when I killed a prisoner of the imperial court. I really deserve it."
"That night, if Deputy Commander Yan and the brothers hadn't forced the prisoner to a point of despair, how could I have had the chance to achieve this feat? Therefore, I shouldn't take the money alone..."
Li Qi smiled, placed the banknote in front of Yan Yuejun, and said sincerely: "This is not a bribe, but my way of repaying Deputy Commander Yan and all the brothers for their life-saving grace."
When he said this, Yan Yuejun was really tempted.
He himself came from a rough background, and had been in prison before. It was just by chance that he became a bad person, and he also had some market spirit.
The bad people in Daxia, including the bad handsome men, are all guilty.
To put it bluntly, all bad people were criminals before. It was only because of their own merits that they were organized by the court to serve the court.
One thousand taels is not a small amount of money, it is Yan Yuejun's salary for several years.
Even though he now suspects that Li Qi and Ji Shanyu have some ulterior secrets, but... who would feel sorry for Qian?
Moreover, this guy also said that he did not intend to ask me to do anything, and it cannot be said to be a bribe.
"Okay, since the Li Dong family is so polite, I can only accept it reluctantly."
Li Qi grinned: "Deputy Commander Yan can accept my little thought, which can be regarded as settling a worry for me. I will give Deputy Commander Yan another drink!"
The two raised their glasses, touched them lightly, and drank from each other.
