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

"Chen Yifu, hurry up!"

After Lin Yi's call, Chen Yifu immediately began to treat them one by one.

After giving the village chief a simple bandage, he ran towards the other injured people.

"Village Chief, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lin Yi frowned, very worried.

"It was probably in the evening, around three quarters past the hour of the twilight, when a group of soldiers arrived."

"They used the excuse of moving alcohol, and then secretly took other goods."

The village chief gave a brief description of the situation.

This group of officers and soldiers were masked when they were moving things, and Erniu was the first to notice something was wrong.

He called all the villagers to surround them, but the soldiers had weapons and the villagers' kitchen knives and pitchforks were no match for them.

The villagers, who suffered varying degrees of injuries, could only watch helplessly as they carried away all their belongings...

"You didn't clean up the scene?"

Lin Yi asked, there should be a lot of evidence left at the scene of the robbery and fighting.

"We were all injured and didn't even bother to clean up."

After the village chief finished speaking, Lin Yi asked him to have a good rest, and he took the candlestick to check the situation at the scene.

The goods in the warehouse that were originally intended to supply the stores in Liangzhou City have all been sold out.

There were various bloodstains and many footprints from the warehouse to the door.

Lin Yi looked carefully and found that the footprints were divided into two types: one was from someone wearing official boots, and the other was from villagers wearing cloth shoes...

Suddenly, he found a jade pendant in the weeds.

If this thing has no name or surname, it will be an invalid piece of evidence.

But then Lin Yi discovered that the back of the jade pendant was engraved with very neat characters, which were different from normal handwriting.

That’s exactly the two words “Liu Yu”!

"Liu Yu probably wouldn't dare to do such a big thing."

Lin Yi muttered to himself, already having a rough idea.

At this moment, countless torches appeared at the entrance of the village, and then a familiar voice issued the order: "Surround this place!"

This time the people who came back were soldiers, wearing armor and looking very majestic.

Then, Prince Qing walked over slowly.

"Lin Yi, I heard there were robbers."

Prince Qing was holding a torch and walked over when he saw Lin Yi.

It turned out that before Xiaomei found Lin Yi, she had already met Prince Qing.

Prince Qing went to summon the army, but arrived a step too late.

Behind him, Huangfu Qingling also walked out.

"Lin Yi, this is not a small matter. There are bandits near Liangzhou City, and even officers and soldiers have no choice but to take action."

Huangfu Qingling felt that Lin Yi might have a mental problem, so she comforted him a little.

Over the past month, she has experienced Lin Yi's stores in Liangzhou City.

We also saw that Lin Yi’s plan for a street of food, drink and entertainment was beginning to take shape.

"I will look into this matter."

Lin Yi said, "This is Niujia Village's business, and it's also my business."

"No, this is a military matter. I heard that the alcohol that was supposed to be delivered tomorrow was stolen."

Prince Qing frowned slightly and spoke slowly.

"It's still my business, and it's also the Emperor's business."

Huangfu Qingling explained that she didn't want Lin Yi to know that she was the emperor, for she was afraid that Lin Yi's mentality would change if he knew his identity.

After all, she also has shares, and now that the supply is damaged, she has to take strong action!

When they arrived, Huangfu Qingling had already ordered someone to contact the Ministry of Justice, and Bao Bu Tong, the most skilled in solving and investigating cases among the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Justice, was already on the way.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I already have some clues."

Lin Yi clasped his fists and saluted to express his gratitude. "If I need to capture and interrogate him later, I will ask for your help, Your Highnesses."

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me."

"But this batch of alcohol must be tracked down, otherwise it could be used as a weapon, which would be very dangerous!"

Prince Qing nodded immediately.

"I've already invited someone from the Ministry of Justice from the capital. It will be clearer when he investigates."

Huangfu Qingling frowned slightly after saying this, "Now the supply is gone, can you make a batch urgently?"

"It can't be made. The workshop has been destroyed."

Lin Yi looked somewhat helpless.

"What about this store?"

Huangfu Qingling immediately became anxious.

The daily turnover of these eight stores is almost four thousand taels. Excluding the costs of various raw materials and store clerks’ wages, the net profit is one thousand taels every day!

Once it stops, it will be a huge loss!

"Closing the store requires making changes."

Lin Yi said, "It's been shut down before, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Well, the remaining goods have almost been sold, so we have no choice but to close it."

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly. This was the only solution.

Afterwards, soldiers were stationed in Niujia Village to prevent the bandits from coming again, while Lin Yi was investigating the case step by step.

The next morning, all of Lin Yi's stores in Liangzhou City put up their signs.

"The store will be closed for renovations and will be open for the last three days."

Unexpectedly, this sign attracted more customers to come and experience the prosperity of this street!

There is a constant stream of traffic from morning to night!

Three days later, Lin Yi had almost finished his investigation in Niujia Village, and Bao Bu Tong, who was ordered by Huangfu Qingling to travel day and night, also rushed to Liangzhou.

"See Your Majesty."

At the Affiliated High School of Prince Qing, Bao Bu Tong, wearing plain clothes, came to visit Huangfu Qingling with a package.

"My brother will take you to see Lin Yi. Remember not to reveal any information about my presence here."

"Just treat me as a princess."

This Bao Bu Tong is actually a former friend of Huangfu Qingling. He is upright and treats the law meticulously. Therefore, he is also a candidate for the future Minister of Justice.

"Yes!"

After Bao Bu Tong nodded, he followed Prince Qing to Niujia Village.

"Lin Yi, this is from the Ministry of Justice in the capital, and it comes with a different package."

"He will come over to investigate the case together."

After Prince Qing introduced him, Lin Yi slowly walked over.

"Actually, I've almost finished my investigation."

Hearing this, Bao Bu Tong was a little bit unconvinced. How much could an ordinary businessman find out?

Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

After Prince Qing returned, Bao Bu Tong began to investigate the scene.

However, Lin Yi was always there to analyze the situation for him.

From Lin Yi's mouth, Bao Bu Tong heard almost the entire incident, and even the traces he had seen were exactly the same as his guesses!

"Finally, there are these two tracks. It's impossible to move so many things with bare hands. We don't usually transport goods in this direction, so these two tracks must have been made by robbers."

Lin Yi said, "I'm alone and weak, so I didn't think about going. Now that I have Mr. Bao, we can go together."

These are quite big, and the bags are different, which makes me speechless.

You've already done everything, why do you want me to come?

However, he was also somewhat shocked in his heart. This Lin Yi in front of him was not only a good businessman, but also a genius at solving cases!

After almost twenty years of experience in solving cases, I could only barely grasp a few clues and make guesses, but Lin Yi was able to deduce so many things so easily...

The only thing left is Liu Yu's line.

Bao Bu Tong brought two soldiers with him and searched along the wheel tracks.

Finally, the rut disappeared at the entrance of a cave.

"I heard there have never been any bandits around Liangzhou City."

"Who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"

As they approached the cave, Bao Bu Tong asked Lin Yi.
