Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 138 Solving the case at the speed of light

"Why is it Xiao Changyun?"

"These are robbers. They don't seem to have anything to do with Xiao Changyun."

Huangfu Qingling asked slowly, "That doesn't make sense!"

"Your Majesty, Lin Yi is right."

Bao Bu Tong then said, "I have secretly investigated the surrounding area. There is no bandit lair nearby, not even a single person."

"Then why is it related to Xiao Changyun?"

Huangfu Qingling continued to ask.

"I forgot to mention one thing. The Minister of Justice has problems. On this basis, we can expand."

As Lin Yi spoke, he began to give Huangfu Qingling a complete analysis.

First of all, in the absence of any bandit gangs, then since there have been large-scale thefts and robberies recently and the Ministry of Justice has no clues, these things must be related to the Ministry of Justice.

Then the Minister of Justice is Xiao Changyun's man, so only Xiao Changyun has such great power to back up the Minister of Justice.

"Putting all this aside, the Minister of Justice, who was originally handling Xiao Changyun's corruption case, has already opened a case against these bandits at the request of Your Majesty..."

After explaining some speculations, Lin Yi's last sentence made Huangfu Qingling suddenly realize.

It was still Lin Yi’s original statement, as long as the robbery case was not solved, the investigation of Xiao Changyun’s case would be delayed indefinitely.

The court needs a prime minister who can coordinate everything. In the future, as long as other people in the six ministries put pressure on him, Huangfu Qingling will be forced to let Xiao Changyun come back to work.

"Then why do I let you be the Prime Minister?"

Huangfu Qingling pressed on, "Wouldn't Xiao Changyun's wishful thinking be in vain?"

"It's even more impossible for me to be the prime minister. I can't do it."

"Your Majesty, having been in the court for so long, you should know that many of the people in these six ministries are Xiao Changyun's men, right?"

After asking this question, Huangfu Qingling realized that Lin Yi couldn't come up.

Either they will be so disgusted by the officials under Xiao Changyun that they will be unable to do their work, or even worse, they may be found to make "comparisons" with them, and then more and more people will hope that Xiao Changyun will return to the court.

"I understand. Then you should investigate the Minister of Justice first. If you find any results, bring them directly to me."

After saying this, Huangfu Qingling even asked with more concern, "You should have arranged these things at the port now, right?"

"It's all done."

"At least for now, we can let them continue to do it on their own."

Lin Yi said this and watched Huangfu Qingling leave.

Then Bao Bu Tong discussed with Lin Yi in the room.

"We can't investigate directly like this, right?"

"After all, we can't directly touch the Minister of Justice."

Bao Bu Tong frowned slightly. After all, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. He couldn't catch the Minister of Justice!

"Just try him and prove my guess is correct."

"If there is a mistake, he won't know it was us who did it."

Lin Yi leaned close to Bao Bu Tong's ear and whispered some solutions.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard Bao Bu Di.

……

The entire capital was very quiet that night, and the so-called banditry and robbery incidents that had occurred before had somewhat subsided.

The Minister of Justice was walking towards the capital from the western suburbs.

He drank quite a bit of cider today, which was a small way to relax.

This is his daily habit.

The only difference was that the cider he drank today was a bit stronger.

He walked into the capital with a red face.

To reach the residence of the Minister of Justice, one needs to pass through the West Market.

Just as the Minister of Justice was about to cross the West Market, several people suddenly rushed out and covered his head with a sack.

Then he knocked the Minister of Justice unconscious with a few blows.

The leaders were Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong.

Bao Bu Tong carefully staged a similar incident based on what he learned about the people who were robbed and stolen from.

The Minister of Justice was tied up and taken to a room with his eyes blindfolded.

"Take out the money!"

"Take out all the silver you have!"

These "lines" were also heard by people who had previously learned about being robbed.

In fact, it is a relatively normal robbery word.

Before being beaten, the Minister of Justice was actually a little confused, but now he has woken up and realized that he has been tricked!

its not right?

I had clearly told those people to stop before...

"Where are you from?"

"What?"

Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong have confirmed what the Minister of Justice said.

This fishing trick is indeed a bit dirty, but it does work!

"What do you care where I'm from? Just hand over the money!"

Lin Yi lowered his voice and spoke.

"You're mistaken!"

"I'm the one who arranged you, let me go!"

"Otherwise, I'll really catch you later!"

Under the "fishing enforcement" of Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong, the Minister of Justice has been exposed.

"Look who we are."

Bao Bu Tong said this as he pulled the cloth away from the Minister of Justice.

The Minister of Justice was immediately shocked.

"Why are you guys?"

He also realized that something was wrong.

These two are Huangfu Qingling's people! I let it slip!

"We need to have a good chat."

"grown ups."

As Bao Bu Tong said this, he grabbed the bound Minister of Justice and headed towards the palace.

Inside the palace, Huangfu Qingling had been waiting in the study for news from Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bao and Lord Lin are here."

"Please!"

Following this shout, Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong came over with the Minister of Justice who was tied up.

"He has already admitted it."

Lin Yi said this as soon as he came in.

"Minister of Justice, I have always treated you well. How come you are hanging out with a corrupt official like Xiao Changyun?"

Some polite words still need to be said, after all, in name these ministers are officials under the empress Huangfu Qingling.

"What did I say?"

When he arrived in front of Huangfu Qingling, the Minister of Justice immediately started to play dumb.

As long as he insisted that he knew nothing, the questions that Lin Yi and Bao Butong had asked before were all speculations!

Nothing will happen to you!

"Lin Yi, didn't you say he confessed everything?"

Huangfu Qingling asked pretending to be confused.

"He arranged for those robbers and thieves in the four major markets."

"He already said it."

Lin Yi answered for him.

"I didn't say anything. I don't know anything."

The Minister of Justice continued to play dumb and rushed forward in a daze.

"In that case, then behead him."

"Then they pinned the crime on him, accusing him of stealing from an inside job."

Lin Yi suggested, "Mr. Bao happens to be the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He could be promoted to the Minister of Justice, right?"

"That makes sense!"

"Bao Bu Tong, you kill him tonight."

"Tomorrow I will announce to the world that the Minister of Justice has committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Huangfu Qingling understood Lin Yi's plan and began to cooperate with him.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Yes...I arranged all the people for you!"

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Under the threat of his life, the Minister of Justice confessed everything.

"Would you have said no earlier?"
