There was no way they could get back two months' wages, so they had no choice but to find a contractor and ask for it from a businessman.
The businessman was stunned when he heard the news. His good friend actually ran away with the money?
When workers come to him asking for money, although he sympathizes with their plight, he is also a victim. He has already paid all the monthly wages he needs to pay.
There was no reason to give it again, and what I learned later was that when his friend went to the material dealers to buy the materials, he only gave a deposit and said he would pay the balance after the completion.
However, because the businessman had a very trusting relationship with his friend, after confirming that there were no problems with the bill before construction, he had already given the friend enough money to purchase the materials.
In other words, in addition to the wages of the workers, the foreman also took away the final payment for various building materials, with a total amount of more than million molas!
With such a huge figure, it is impossible for a businessman to be taken advantage of and pay again.
Naturally, the workers and material dealers were unwilling to do so, so they had no choice but to use the law to solve the problem, but the consulting fees they could afford were not much.
Taking into account the ability and cost-effectiveness, we invited the deputy of the Arataki faction, who had recently become famous in Inazuma Castle, namely Kuki Shinobu, to take action.
At this time, Kuki-nin has helped many ordinary people and solved many legal cases. He has a very good reputation and never bargains too much.
Therefore, it is naturally the first choice of workers.
The businessman also expected this. He spent a lot of money to hire a team of legal consultants who were also very famous in Daozuma. He thought that even if he couldn't win the lawsuit, it shouldn't be a problem to reduce the compensation.
After learning about this, Kuki Shinobu also felt the pressure. After all, his opponent was an entire team of veteran legal consultants.
Although she believed in her abilities, she was not conceited. The huge wages involved for the workers meant that she had to hire foreign aid to be on the safe side.
That is her senior sister Yan Fei.
Of course, the best way is to catch the contractor who ran away with the money, so that both parties can recover their losses.
But that person had already planned and ran away without a sound. He didn't know how long he would have to wait to find the others.
The workers knew this very well and had no other choice, so they went to the businessman, so they said this matter was more complicated.
Even with Li Qiuzhi's limited knowledge of law, he knew that such a case would definitely take a long time.
However, he can provide some help. He can ask Captain Qin, Ning Guang and Nasida to join forces with Dao Wife to arrest this person who ran away with the money.
Of course, it doesn't matter if that person goes to the three countries of Fontaine, Nata or Zhidong. Just ask Tian Ling to contact the law enforcement agencies of those three countries and jointly arrest him.
Thinking about such a small thing, the other party probably wouldn't refuse.
Maybe we can also take this opportunity to formulate an agreement such as an international joint wanted document.
That is, information on wanted criminals is shared with each other. Whichever country catches a foreign wanted criminal will notify the corresponding country to claim it and escort it back.
It feels like a good idea that is positive and beneficial to every country. Let Captain Qin and the others push it, maybe it can really happen!
Li Qiuzhi waited until the exchange between Jiuqi Ren and Yan Fei stopped temporarily, and mentioned that he could help contact Mond, Liyue, and Xumi to help arrest the wanted contractor who ran away with the money.
As for the international joint arrest of fugitives, I have not told them yet.
Because he had no say in this matter, Captain Qin, Ningguang, Nasida and the general had to discuss it before contacting other countries to discuss it.
In the end, all seven countries had no problems before it could be implemented.
No matter how good the proposal is, whether it is suitable or not must be considered based on the respective national conditions.
Li Qiuzhi can ask someone to find someone, but when it comes to legal matters, he is not a professional and naturally he does not dare to use his influence indiscriminately. He must do it in this way, otherwise he will only do bad things with good intentions.
"Hey, that's right. You have made great contributions to Mondstadt, Liyue and other countries. It's really easy to ask for such a small favor."
Yan Fei took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully.
"It would be best if we could really catch the person who ran away with the money, but no one knows which country he went to, and even if we catch him, we may not be able to recover those moras."
Kuki Shinobu was not so optimistic.
"But we can't just let him get away with it, right?" Li Qiuzhi said with a smile, leaning on the sofa.
"Yes, that's true." Jiuqi Ren and Yanfei nodded in agreement.
[Yan Fei develops a favorable impression of you and gains 300 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.5 (200/500)]
[Kuki Shinobu has developed a liking for you and gained 380 points of favorability. The current favorability level is Lv.4 (110/400)]
Li Qiuzhi looked at the favorable impression prompts that popped up on the character panel and knew that they had a favorable impression of him again for his active helping behavior.
The exclusive specialty "Girl Lover" is as powerful as ever, making it much easier for him to gain favor. Maybe this is his personal charm, the young adventurer thought happily.
"However, arresting the prisoner is not within the scope of this commission. We still have to focus on the labor dispute between the workers and the wealthy businessman."
Kuki thought for a while and said.
"That's right, the interests of workers must be prioritized."
Li Qiuzhi nodded in agreement. After all, Jiuqi Ren accepted the commission from the workers, and even if he was captured, there was a risk that Maura would not be recovered.
Naturally, these risks cannot be borne by workers.
After taking a short rest, Kuki Shinobu and Enhi then continued to discuss the relevant details of the case with Enhi.
It stopped after about half an hour. According to Kuki Shinobi, there were still about ten days before the trial of this labor dispute case was to begin.
Just let's understand the matter first. There is no need to be so anxious about other matters. She originally expected that Senior Sister Yanfei would be able to come to Daozuma City three days before the court session.
In other words, she believed that three days was enough time for them to prepare. Now that it was so many days ahead of schedule, there was nothing wrong with slowing down the pace.
"By the way, senior sister was only busy talking to you about the case, and she forgot that you just arrived at Daozhi, so she should take you to arrange a hotel first!"
After talking for a long time, Kuki's throat felt a little dry. Just when he picked up the cup and was about to take a sip, he suddenly thought of something and said.
"Hey, there's no need to worry about finding a hotel in a place as big as Daozuma City. Don't be so anxious, A-nin." Yan Fei waved her hand to show that she didn't care.
Hearing the two of them talking, Li Qiuzhi felt that he had found another opportunity to improve his favorability. He thought for a while and said to Yan Fei:
"Actually, if you don't want to bother me, I can take you back to Liyue Port when you're done. After all, sleeping in a hotel is not as comfortable as at home."
"Well, it seems so, but won't this be too much trouble for you?" Yan Fei showed emotion on her face, and then said slightly hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of a moment anyway, so it's not really a trouble."
Li Qiuzhi shook his head and said.
"Yeah, it's really best to go home. How about I pay you the cost of staying in the hotel as a reward!" Yan Fei said happily.
[Yanfei has a good impression of you and gains 320 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv. 6 (20/600)]
"Well, you don't have to be so polite. If you feel bad and don't want my help to be in vain, then just give me a rough stone. I'm quite interested in the rough stone."
The market price of a rough stone is molad, and staying in a hotel for ten days is about the same price. Li Qiuzhi didn't say much.
He said this mainly to see if Enhi and Kuki Shinobu had any rough stones left, and if so, they could express their willingness to acquire them.
Previously, he had taken the time to absorb the rough stones purchased from the Mondstadt Adventurers Association as a commission, as well as the rough stones given by Captain Qin as a reward, a total of more than stones.
Now the experience points on the panel have exceeded two million:
[Experience point: 2216889]
Later, I went to the Adventurers Association in Daozhu City to see how many rough stones had been purchased there. When I sent Yan Fei back to Liyue, I also stopped by the Adventurers Association in Liyue Port to have a look.
If only there were as many as there were in Mondstadt!

Chapter 528 Invitation from the Son of God (two in one)
"Rough stone? That kind of shiny stone?
“I remember when I was little, my dad gave me a bunch of these rocks to play with as toys. At the time, I thought they were pretty when they sparkled like stars.
"I'll look for it when I get back later. I'll give it to you anyway if it's of no use."
Yan Fei pressed her lower lip and thought for a moment.
"No, one rough stone costs more than molas. How can I take advantage of this? If you really don't need it, then I can buy it with you using molas."
Li Qiuzhi shook his head. Now that he was not short of money, he could easily buy dozens or hundreds of rough stones.
"Yeah, that makes sense. But there's no need for it, Maura. Just treat it as travel expenses. I'll come back to you to help with teleportation when I have to travel far away."
Yan Fei's father is an immortal and her mother is also a businessman. Naturally, there is no shortage of mola and so on. Moreover, she is also the top legal consultant in Liyue.
But since Li Qiuzhi said so, not charging anything would make it difficult for him. Maura doesn't need it, so just treat it as future travel expenses.
After trying the convenience of space teleportation, Yan Fei suddenly felt that riding carriages, sailing boats and other means of transportation were too troublesome.
"Oh? That's okay too."
Li Qiuzhi naturally agreed with Yan Fei's decision. After all, more contact could increase the probability of gaining favorability.
It was almost noon now. Jiuqi Ren said that he wanted to treat Li Qiuzhi and the others. As guests, they naturally did not refuse out of politeness.
When they were going out, they saw Arataki Yidou and his two younger brothers playing bug-fighting with several children who had brought Li Qiuzhi and the others over.
The bug is endemic to the Inazuma area. Generally, individuals are purple, but some special individuals are red, white, etc., which are relatively rare.
Their appearance is similar to that of the earth's unicorns, with huge unicorns, so children like to catch them and fight insects because they are really good to watch.
Kuki Shinobu invited them to eat together on the street.
As the sun moved westward, time slipped away quietly. Soon Li Qiuzhi and his party finished lunch, and Kuqi Ren was ready to take Enfei for a walk in Inazuma Castle.
Li Qiuzhi was going to go to the Adventurers Association to see how many rough stones had been purchased, and then take Xiaogong back to the fireworks shop.
The two of them walked down the street, letting the sun fall on them.
Xiao Gong hummed a tune and walked beside him happily, the huge red knot tied behind him swaying.
The snow-white legs under the clothes are shrouded in light shadow.
Li Qiuzhi took her hand and walked slowly to the Adventurers Association like a couple going shopping. It was still noon, and there were no adventurers in front of the association's counter to submit or accept commissions.
Catherine stood quietly behind the front desk of the Adventurers Association like a gentle lady as usual.
She looked at Li Qiuzhi and Xiao Gong walking over, smiled and greeted politely:
"Goodbye, you two."
"Hey, hello, Miss Catherine." Xiao Gong waved his hand and said hello.
Li Qiuzhi also smiled and said:
"Miss Catherine, I'm here to ask about the progress of my commission to acquire rough stones."
"Understood, please wait."
Catherine nodded, turned around and took out the commission record book. She rummaged briefly and found the page recording Li Qiuzhi's commission:
"Well, according to records, in the past month or so, thirty adventurers have accepted your commission and successfully completed it. A total of fifty-six rough stones have been submitted."
"Fifty-six."
Li Qiuzhi felt that it was relatively less than Mondstadt's side, but Dao's wife couldn't venture into the beast realm, which was understandable after thinking about it.
Fifty-six rough stones, each with the same price of , means a total of more than million molas. There is still million molas left in the association, and he does not need to give any more.
Catherine gave him the purchased rough stones, and Li Qiuzhi paid the association's service fee and topped up the reserved entrustment fee with another million, allowing the association to continue purchasing rough stones.
After finishing the entrustment, Li Qiuzhi took Xiao Gong and continued to walk to the fireworks store. When passing near the Yae Hall, he saw Yae Shenzi giving instructions to a young woman at the door.
"I've said before, when introducing light novels to others, you must highlight the novel's selling points."
It turned out that they were instructing employees. Li Qiuzhi and Xiao Gong approached curiously.
Yae Shenzi also noticed Li Qiuzhi and Li Qiuzhi, his beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and he waved to the Yae Tang clerk to go back to work. He looked at Li Qiuzhi and said with a chuckle:
"Haha, isn't this a famous traveler? Oh, it turns out that he has been busy dating girls recently. No wonder he doesn't have time to come and see me."
Hearing Yae Shenzi's teasing words, Xiao Gong blushed slightly and looked away. Since what she said was very accurate, Li Qiuzhi couldn't find an excuse and had to change the topic:
"Speaking of which, I have been to Yaedo Hall several times, but I have never bought a few light novels. Would you like Kamiko to recommend some books to me?"
"Oh, you changed the subject a little too abruptly."
A helpless look appeared on Yae Shenzi's fair face for a moment, but since Li Qiuzhi wanted to buy the light novel, she was naturally happy:
"In that case, let me introduce it to you personally. Buy a few more copies, otherwise I won't forgive you for wasting my time."
With that said, he led the two of them into the Eight-Card Hall.
