Chapter 52: Weifu Lu Ji
"Whether or not you commit a crime is not your decision, it's ours." Ying Zhengqi first gave him a warning.
He came from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and knew that he would not cooperate well with such a businessman of some status without some warning in advance.
Lu Dacheng's breathing gradually became rapid, and he began to panic in his heart, and he did not dare to say another word.
"Let me ask you, have you ever registered those who buy alcohol at Luji Tavern?" Ying Zhengqi asked with a straight face.
"My lord, the shop has a long line of customers every day. If everyone registers, I'm afraid it will be too busy." Lu Dacheng replied cautiously.
"Lie!" Ying Zheng shouted in unison.
Lu Dacheng and the guy were so frightened that they almost wet their pants and knelt down.
"Sir, how dare ordinary people lie in front of the Qingyi Department? If you don't believe me, you can search the store. Apart from the account books, there is no book to register your name." Lu Dacheng is a big businessman after all, and he can respond easily under such pressure.
If he were an ordinary merchant, he would probably be at a loss for words.
"It is said that there are three things that you don't sell in Luji: the fireworks land, the Jianghu gangs, and the taverns and inns. Is that true?" Ying Zhengqi continued to ask.
Nangong Ding and Xiao Wuji stood aside. They wanted to see how the Minister of Justice interrogated him.
"Yes, that's true, but..."
Ying Zhengqi didn't give him a chance to continue speaking and interrupted directly:
"In this case, if you don't register the name and identity of the guest, how can you possibly know whether the other party is among the three not-for-sale items?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ding nodded secretly.
Sure enough, Ying Zhengqi still has some thoughts and can start from the details.
Thinking that from now on he would be the Minister of Dali Temple and one of his own, Nangong Ding was secretly glad.
This person will be of great use in the future!
"Oh, three adults, let me tell you the truth. This 'three no-sales' is purely a gimmick created by our store. Its fundamental purpose is just to raise Lu Ji's worth." Lu Dacheng had a grimace and could only tell the truth.
.
As soon as these words came out, Ying Zhengqi was confused. He turned to look at Nangong Ding and said no more words to interrogate him.
"Tell me about it." Nangong Ding only said three words coldly.
Lu Dacheng clasped his hands in his fists and said with a sad face: "There is no such thing as 'three no-selling'. In some brothel restaurants, ordinary people can buy wine in our store, let alone those Jianghu gangs. When they go to the store, they can't buy it.
If they tell their identities, how do we know whether they are ordinary people or people in the world, so these 'three no-sales' are just a name and a business method devised by our store."
"Huh, no businessman, no traitor, I'm talking about you guys." Xiao Wuji spat on the ground.
Lu Dacheng didn't dare to say anything, so he could only continue to explain: "So since the 'three no-sales' are just a false name and have no reality, it is futile for the shop to register the names and identities of the customers."
Listening to his explanation, Nangong Ding frowned slightly, obviously having accepted Lu Dacheng's words.
However, if the guests are not registered, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack, and it will be as difficult as reaching the sky.
Helpless, Ying Zhengqi could only continue to ask: "As for those of you who come to buy wine, have you found any suspicious characters?"
Lu Dacheng and the waiter looked at each other, exhausting their brains and thinking hard, but still had no clue, so they could only ask:
"Sir, what exactly does it mean to be suspicious?"
This sentence stumped the three of them. They only knew that the other party was a heavy drinker and drank bamboo leaf green, but they knew nothing else.
Ying Zhengqi thought for a moment and said: "That man only buys green bamboo leaves. His appearance may be a little shabby, his body should be lean, and his nails are full of dirt and dirt. Also, his eyes may be a little bit dirty when he buys wine."
Twinkle, and often come to your Luji to buy bamboo leaf green, I should be a regular customer of your place."
Listening to his description, Nangong Ding couldn't help but think highly of Zheng Qi.
Just by digging tunnels and scattering green bamboo leaves, he can accurately depict the portrait of the other party. This skill would never have been possible without more than ten years of experience in solving cases.
In Ying Zhengqi's opinion, if he can dig a tunnel quickly, he will definitely not be fat because he is inflexible.
People with shabby behavior, twinkling eyes, and usually living in darkness all look like this.
"Think about it carefully, is there any?" Xiao Wuji roared and continued to put pressure on the two of them.
Lu Dacheng patted the clerk's shoulder hard, his voice full of urgency: "Tell me, is there any?"
He usually doesn't face customers directly, so he can only ask this guy.
He was sweating profusely, wetting the boy's clothes like rain. He thought quickly in his mind, trying to find such a person as Ying Zhengqi mentioned.
Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Lu Dacheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"You are telling me that you don't want to die." This time he slapped the man on the head hard.
The waiter looked bitter and replied: "Sir, it is true... there is indeed no such person. I have no impression of it."
"Bring back the Tsing Yi Division!"
Nangong Ding gave the order directly without any further entanglement.
Lu Dacheng and Lu Dacheng collapsed on the ground. Can they still come out intact after entering the Qingyi Division?
"Sir, please spare my life, sir, we really didn't know this person existed!" Lu Dacheng lay on the ground and wailed.
"It's none of this guy's business. I'm just a guy. He's just living in Luji. I've never seen anyone suspicious, sir." The guy kept kowtowing.
Xiao Wuji ignored him, stepped forward, grabbed someone with one hand, and dragged him towards the door.
"Wait, sir, I remembered, I remembered." The boy's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Hearing this, Nangong Ding immediately turned around, grabbed his collar, and said, "Tell me quickly, what do you think of?"
The clerk replied with a trembling voice: "Today at noon, a man came to buy bamboo leaf green. He bought twenty jars at the beginning. There was not enough stock in the store. Then the man left and said he would come back tomorrow. I wonder if this is suspicious?"
In fact, he originally just wanted to name a random person to prevent himself from being arrested in the Tsing Yi Division, but unexpectedly, he accidentally hit him and it was Li Feibai he was talking about.
"What does that person look like?" Nangong Ding asked again.
"The square face is somewhat tough, the appearance is ordinary, the figure is tall, but the eyes are so sharp that people dare not look directly at them, and there are two guards beside him." The clerk tried to recall.
"Yes, yes, that's him." At this time, Lu Dacheng seemed to have recalled something and said excitedly.
"No wonder he looks familiar to me, it turns out it's him."
"Don't be so pretentious, tell me what's going on?" Ying Zheng said in unison.
"About two months ago, that man also bought ten jars of bamboo leaf green in the shop. I personally received him at that time and spent a lot of money, so I have some impression that when he came yesterday, he dropped two thousand taels and asked for twenty
Altar." Lu Dacheng looked expectantly at Xiao Wuji, who was holding him.
Nangong Ding waved his hand to let the person go.
Although this person is not like what Ying Zhengqi described, it is better to have clues than no clues.
