Although there is such an unexpected person as Li Qiuzhi compared to the original plot, it leads to a deviation in time and small details.

But the overall development does not seem to make much difference.

Leaving the seaside, Werner did not return to the residential area, and began to walk further and further away, with some sneaky meanings.

"There's something wrong with this guy!"

Paimon said, crossing his waist.

"He came to such a remote place, is he going to connect with someone?" Ying said suspiciously while touching her chin while holding her arms.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying continued to calmly follow Welner in the stealth realm, he thought for a while and said:

"Anyway, we're just ordinary foreigners in Inazuma after all, and if we really find out something later, it seems that there is no way to do anything about him.

"Even if you catch him and hand him over to the shogunate army, what if they don't admit their mistakes when they are killed? We don't have proof. ”

"Well, it seems like oh, after all, you can't really kill him, unless you find a shogunate to come and let him see what this hateful merchant really did to arrest him!"

Paimon said with some distress.

"This is still goodbye, although most of the shogunate army is still righteous, but you see we were almost cheated for millions yesterday, in case the shogunate sergeant we are looking for happens to be more corrupt or the kind that is with him, maybe he will be beaten upside down."

Li Qiuzhi, who knew the plot, shook his head.

"If there were a prop like a photograph, you could have taken a picture of the evidence." Ying suddenly thought of this item from Fontaine.

It's just that this kind of thing is relatively rare, or rather less common outside of Fontaine.

"Yes, that Gurisu is from Fontaine, maybe he has a camera in his hand, we can ask and borrow it if we have one!"

Paimon said excitedly.

"No, it's not enough time, when we come back, he may have already run away, anyway, we don't necessarily have to arrest him, let's see what happens when the time comes, and then make a decision."

Li Qiuzhi shook his head and said.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Paimon had no choice but to spread his hands.

However, the color of his hair and eyes, as well as his name, suggest that Werner, a foreign merchant, appears to be from Mondstadt.

"As far as I know, if a native has done anything illegal after leaving the country, the law enforcement agencies in his home country are also qualified to arrest and try him, and we can take him back to Mondstadt and hand him over to the Knights."

Li Qiuzhi thought of a brilliant solution.

After all, he is an honorary knight and a member of the Knights, and if he sees Werner breaking the law and committing crimes, it is like the police seeing a thief, he can be arrested.

Of course, it would be a bit unprocedural to do so outside of Mondstadt, but just bring him back to Mondstadt, and you don't have to worry about such minor issues.

"Wow, you're so disgusting, you would have thought of such a solution!" Paimon's starry eyes widened, "But only if he really does something bad"

"Don't talk about it, that Werner ran behind a huge rock."

Ying patted Li Qiuzhi's arm and reminded.

Unaware of the swaggering following of a few people behind him, Werner cautiously watched for no one to follow him, and then walked over to the spot where Ashigaru and Keijiro had instructed.

He turned a corner at the huge stone and came to the shadow of the stone, where there were already two men dressed as shogunate soldiers.

"Werner, why are you so late!"

A shogunate sergeant said dissatisfied, holding his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ashigaru-sama, but I have to be cautious to prevent anyone from following me."

At this time, Welner had a completely different attitude towards others than when he was selling "crystallized bone marrow" just now, and he was very low-voiced.

"Wow, it's completely different."

Li Qiuzhi and the others followed Werner to the shadow of the stone, and Paimon said in surprise as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"These two shogunate sergeants seem to be the source of Welner's 'crystallized bone marrow' channel, but they don't even change their clothes, which is really bold."

Ying looked at the two shogunate sergeants and said.

"Okay, Ashigaru, don't worry about these little things, the top priority is to get today's Mora first, and then we will have to collect taxes."

Keijiro, another shogunate sergeant, said.

"Yes, Werner, bring Mora from today's income." Ashigaru realized that he still had a job, and then hurriedly urged Werner.

"Okay, okay."

Verna hurriedly handed the cloth bag tied around his waist to Ashigaru, which contained Mora with a denomination of 10,000.

Ashigaru took the cloth bag, which was estimated to be about a hundred as before, and he nodded slightly, and took a few out of it and threw it to Verna.

He smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Very good, this is your hard work today, we will hand over the next batch of 'crystallized bone marrow' to you in a few days, and then go to the old place to receive the goods."

"Yes, I understand, Ashigaru-sama." Verna put Mora away and said in a good voice.

"Let's go."

Keijiro said impatiently.

If he hadn't had a job, he would have liked to have divided the Mora right away.

"They are leaving, according to the information revealed between their words, the monopoly of 'crystallizing bone marrow' is very likely to be related to them, we can't let him go so simply!"

Paimon said angrily.

Li Qiuzhi nodded, Paimon was right, no matter how they were caught, it would be considered progress to let them stop monopolizing the "Crystallized Bone Marrow" commission.

Watching Ashigaru and Keijiro turn around and leave.

Li Qiuzhi did not hesitate to directly summon a translucent spiritual tentacle, and unexpectedly grabbed them all together with Werner!

"W-what! Who is it! ”

Keijiro and the others found that they were suddenly grabbed by something without the ability to resist, and immediately shouted in panic.

"Hmph, your bad things have been exposed, and I honestly explain why you want to monopolize the 'crystallized bone marrow'!"

Now that the prisoner has been caught, Li Qiuzhi has withdrawn from the stealth realm, revealing several figures, and Paimon immediately questioned Werner and them after he came out.

"Bastard, what are you, hurry up and let us go, you dare to attack the shogunate army, you have broken the law and will go to prison!"

Keijiro saw that it was not some dangerous monster that attacked them, but a few foreigners who looked relatively young.

I didn't feel scared anymore, so I relied on my identity as a shogunate, and the wicked people sued and threatened first.

He has such confidence, although he can't beat these foreigners, but his identity is the shogunate.

These foreigners with strange abilities, no matter how powerful they are, can they beat the shogunate army, if they don't want to be wanted, they can only let him go.

And apologize!

"That's right, what kind of monopoly crystallized bone marrow, we just gathered here to chat, I advise you not to meddle in things, you must know that behind us is the Lord of the Survey and the Minister, and there is also the General behind the Lord of the Mission, you dare to do it to us, do you want to try the power of the knife without thinking!"

Ashigaru glared at Li Qiu angrily.

"Ah, hey, what to do, they said that Raiden Shogun was going to attack us!"

Paimon looked at Ying a little frightened. Ying Fu looked at her wordlessly, holding her forehead.

Li Qiuzhi also admired these two people very much, and pulled the tiger skin to the Raiden General.

It's just two little minions, and if something happens, they don't even have the qualifications to report it to others.

"Haha, don't worry little Paimon, they're scaring you."

Li Qiuzhi smiled, then looked at the two shogunate sergeants and said:

"It's useless to be stubborn, you have done this kind of thing for so long and accumulated a lot of wealth, as long as you check it casually, you will know that there is a problem, you don't think that your colleagues and bosses are stupid.

"Or are you doing this at the behest of your lordship?"

"You!"

Looking at the more calm smile of the person in front of him.

Keijiro didn't know how to answer for a while, he was okay with the tiger skin, and it was okay to scare and scare outsiders.

If you really dare to smear the adult, you don't need to check anything, just slandering the adult's crime can put him in prison!

"Okay, what do you want, as long as you don't expose us, even if you cooperate with you in the future, how about half of it then?"

Keijiro's expression changed a few times in a complicated manner, and finally he finally confessed to the few people who could easily catch them.

"Hey, Keijiro, you're not kidding, why did you divide Mora!"

Ashigaru looked at Keijiro incredulously.

"It's all for" Keijiro wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Qiuzhi, who said:

"Well, I'm not interested in getting involved in your hurting others.

"Tell me where your 'crystallized bone marrow' came from, and why you know why the Kanding Priest changed the form of taxes from Mora to 'crystallized bone marrow'?"

"Hmph, in that case, you can hand us over to the shogunate, we have nothing to say."

Since they all knew that their affairs were going to be exposed, Keijiro and they naturally wouldn't cooperate.

"Okay."

Keijiro and they didn't cooperate, and Li Qiuzhi didn't care.

He is kind and righteous by nature, so naturally he will not do anything to extort confessions by torture, otherwise what is the difference between this and a villain.

The second question should be unclear to them, and it doesn't matter if they know the first question or not.

Li Qiuzhi remembered that it was these two shogunate soldiers who collected taxes and deliberately said that the tax rate was raised so that the merchants of the "International Chamber of Commerce" would give an extra part.

They kept the extra "crystallized bone marrow" for themselves, and then handed it over to Werner to sell it to the "International Chamber of Commerce" at a high price.

As for why you know, you still have to ask?

After all, when they are going to be handed over to the Kanding Commissioner, they must explain the reason clearly, so they can't say that they know what they know after watching the plot.

So Li Qiuzhi looked at Werner:

"You are their partner, it must be clear, you tell me what's going on, declare in advance that they are the masterminds, if you cooperate, you will make up for it, and the punishment will be reduced in the future."

"This"

Werner glanced at Keijiro and Ashigaru, but was glared at by the two, and he shrank his head in fear.

Forget it, everyone will go to jail, and they won't be able to bully themselves in the future, so it's better to release them early.

"Okay, okay, I say." Werner nodded violently, then spoke slowly, "Here's the thing."

Whew, seeing that Werner was willing to speak, Li Qiuzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that things were much smoother than he imagined.

What Welner said was indeed no different from what Li Qiuzhi knew.

The facts of Keijiro's crime were confirmed, and Werner was willing to testify against them as a witness, along with Mora, who had been used as ill-gotten gains.

The rest is simple.

Li Qiuzhi first asked Ying and Paimon to find Chairman Kurisu and ask him to bring some businessmen from the "International Chamber of Commerce" over.

In this way, we can follow the survey and carry it out together, so as to put pressure on the people who are surveying and administering.

Otherwise, what if you just hand people over to others and turn around and release them?

It's just that when Gyurisu came over to understand the situation, he had a different idea, because he had been doing business on the outlying islands for a long time, and he knew that even if he succeeded in sending these people to prison.

But there will be new tax collectors, who they may do the same, and perhaps the hostility of other equally corrupt officials who are in charge of the Kanding.

In this way, the "International Chamber of Commerce" will have a more difficult time on the outlying islands in the future.

Moreover, they are currently in short supply of "crystallized bone marrow", and they can't even pay the taxes this time, even if they catch the people behind the scenes, it is useless.

It's better to let Keijiro and them go, let them promise to collect taxes normally in the future, and then hand over the "crystallized bone marrow" that they had hidden privately to the "Chamber of Commerce of All Nations".

That way they can hold on for an extra year or two.

After hearing Jiu Lisu's thoughts, Li Qiuzhi also understood that he had not taken into account the situation of the "International Chamber of Commerce".

It is very cool to arrest Keijiro and them directly, but when the "crystallized bone marrow" that they secretly hid is confiscated, the "International Chamber of Commerce" is not far from becoming a thing of the past.

Well, since that's the case, it can't be helped.

I can only hand them over to Kurisu and let him deal with them as he likes.

It seems that the real solution to the problem is to start by investigating why the government wants to change the form of taxes from Mora to "crystallized marrow".

Forget it, I'm tired, I'm tired and don't want to care.

At this moment, Li Qiuzhi suddenly remembered that in the original book, there seemed to be many evil eyes that only Fatui had on the side of the Inazuma Resistance.

Some of the rebels resisted the temptation to use the Evil Eye, and then ran out of life and died.

The point is not this, Li Qiuzhi seems to remember that the Fatui made an evil eye factory in Inazuma, and the materials used to make the evil eye factory seem to have "crystallized bone marrow"!

- Hey, if you think about it this way, the Kanding Commission will not still collude with the Fatui!

It's a pity that he didn't pay attention to the party and didn't deliberately memorize the plot, and he remembered the use of "crystallizing bone marrow" or inadvertently remembered it.

So it's not certain whether they really colluded.

However, the more Li Qiuzhi thought about it, the more he felt that it was really possible, this survey must have an unclear relationship with the Fatui, no, he must find a way to explore it!

"Alas, the people who broke the law and committed crimes were found, but they had to let them go, it's really infuriating!"

As they left the beach and returned to the residential area, Paimon said with some unhappiness.

"What do we do next?"

Ying looked at Li Qiuzhi, wanting to hear his opinion.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the fair skin on Ying's face, and showed a slight smile:

"Since the root of the problem is on the side of the Kanji Commissioner, next, let's go visit the Commissioner, in order to save trouble, this time, let's be a bad guy for a while!"

"Bad guys?"

Ying and Pai looked at each other, a little unclear.

The later plot will not go according to the original book, and there is really no sense of expectation if it is not original, after all, everyone knows it.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a follow-up, ask for a recommendation, thank you for your support!
