As the rumor spread, the people of Liangzhou City knew about it.

The Lin Family Entertainment City standing in Liangzhou City has become a place for people to vent their emotions.

Before the security booths were built, there were more and more cases of looting and smashing in the entertainment city.

Even for no reason!

From bars to bathhouses, from shooting ranges to supermarkets.

There were even many people who took advantage of the situation to loot and steal things in supermarkets. Beverage stores were also "patronized" and could not operate normally.

Even when the officers and soldiers arrived, these "criminals" continued to shout words like "traitor Lin Yi" and were arrested.

Lin Yi, who was in the hotel, frowned when he heard the news.

He had no other choice but to close the casino.

If someone thought of setting a fire, even the Empress Huangfu Qingling would be in trouble...

"Xu Chuan, shut down the entire entertainment city now."

"Give our men some money and ask them to go to Niujia Village for shelter first."

Lin Yi frowned and spoke nervously.

"Lin Yi, don't you trust the government and our Ministry of Justice?"

Bao Bu Tong stood by and looked very serious.

"The law doesn't punish the masses, so when rumors spread, looting and smashing is the least of the problems."

"Are you going to lock up all the people in Liangzhou City?"

Bao Bu Tong was speechless after Lin Yi's rebuttal.

That’s right, the law does not punish everyone.

"If we don't close it now, and those people burn it down, will you be the one to take the blame?"

Although Lin Yi did not reveal the crime, Bao Bu Tong knew that it was the crime of regicide!

"I will ask the Ministry of Justice and the officers and soldiers to cooperate with you."

Bao Bu Tong nodded slightly, "Everyone evacuate."

"The remaining supplies should be enough, right?"

"I'm going to live here."

Lin Yi asked Xu Chuan.

"If there are several people living here, there shouldn't be any problem."

Xu Chuan answered after confirming.

Then the officers and soldiers began to drive away the people and the gates of Linjia Entertainment City were closed.

In an instant, the entire entertainment city became quiet.

This matter even alarmed Huangfu Qingling.

She was confused and a little angry, so she changed into clean clothes and took the elevator down to question him.

"Lin Yi, why did you close the entertainment city?"

There was confusion in her eyes. For some reason, the anger in her heart had subsided a lot when she saw Lin Yi.

"Xu Chuan, let everyone else go first, and then you go too."

Lin Yi asked Huangfu Qingling to wait for a while, and only told him what happened after everyone left.

"Rumors were spreading that I was going to rebel."

He spoke slowly, his seriousness adding a touch of calmness.

"How can this be?"

"I...will not believe it."

Huangfu Qingling was the one Lin Yi had conducted a comprehensive investigation on. If others could easily see that he was planning a rebellion, he should have had the evidence long ago!

"So it's a rumor."

Lin Yi nodded slightly. "The people of Liangzhou City have been deceived. If we can't find the source, I'm afraid this rumor will cause the people to secretly burn this place down."

"Lin Yi, our Ministry of Justice and officers and soldiers will patrol day and night, so you don't have to worry about the safety here."

Bao Bu Tong spoke immediately.

"Let's go find the source first."

Huangfu Qingling felt helpless.

Fortunately, Niujia Village was not affected by this incident, and the continuous supply of instant noodles, alcohol and other items to the army were not affected.

So the front line doesn't have to worry about supply.

After a night's rest, Lin Yi began to ask the people everywhere.

But he seemed to be on some blacklist. Whenever he approached to ask questions, the people would immediately disperse.

I went to several places and they were all the same.

Even when he went to a restaurant, people there avoided him as if he were a disaster.

"Boss Lin, you'd better leave!"

"You are not welcome here."

The waiter said with a worried look on his face, "You scared away all the customers!"

"What's going on? Why are there rumors?"

Lin Yi finally caught up with a waiter to ask, but the boss rudely interrupted him, "What are you asking? Get out of here! We don't welcome traitors here!"

Even if he gave them money, they wouldn't take it, so Lin Yi could only leave helplessly.

When he returned to the Lin Family Entertainment City, he saw that Zhao Po and Feng Xueqin, who had just come out, were in the same situation and were all despised by the people.

It wasn't the first time that Mrs. Zhao was chased away like a rat, so she was relatively calm.

As the last group of entertainment city employees followed Zhao Po and Feng Xueqin out, only Lin Yi and Xu Chuan were left, except for Huangfu Qingling and her officials.

Back in the hotel lobby, Lin Yi asked Xu Chuan to help conduct a secret investigation.

The result was the same. Xu Chuan seemed to be on some blacklist and could not get any information from him.

At the end of the day, there was no gain.

Lin Yi and Xu Chuan sat in the lobby, staring blankly at each other, thinking of a solution.

"Xu Chuan, you should also go to Niujia Village and discuss with the village chief and Xiaomei. All the men should do what they can there."

"I won't owe them wages."

After saying that, Lin Yi asked Xu Chuan to leave as well.

Think by yourself.

"Lin Yi, actually I also asked someone to do a secret investigation today."

Bao Bu Tong walked over as if he had received some good news.

Unlike Lin Yi, he is a government official, and his identity here is the Minister of Justice.

The people will not resist a vice minister of the Ministry of Justice and the officers and soldiers.

"What's the catch?"

Lin Yi looked at Bao Bu Tong.

"I heard that it first came from the west of Liangzhou City."

Bao Bu Tong said, "I don't know which company or who it is."

“In fact, I also gained something today.”

Bao Bu Tong was a little surprised by Lin Yi’s words.

He had heard that Lin Yi had been hitting a wall everywhere! How could this be fruitful?

"Those of my subordinates who work for me are not despised by the people, but people like Zhao Po and Feng Xueqin who are close to me are treated like rats on the street."

Lin Yi slowly explained, "I never publicly announced that I was their friend, but the people knew about it. This means the person who spread the rumor must be someone I know."

"Liu Yu?"

"No, he's still in jail."

"By the way, when I checked the cell today, I found that Zhao Lijie was missing!"

Speaking of prison matters, Bao Bu Tong immediately remembered this incident, "Could it be him?"

"No, it's impossible for him to appear among the people, let alone spread rumors."

"Don't forget that the previous interrogation has already made him have nowhere to stay outside Liangzhou City. Will the people believe him?"

Lin Yi waved his hand.

"Lin Yi, I know some disguises. How about you pretend to be my subordinate and ask him tomorrow?"

"Disguise?"

"Me too."

Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I'll go with you tomorrow."

After all, if Lin Yi went out openly, he wouldn't be able to ask anything.

Soon, Lin Yi took some clothes that looked like those worn by officials from a nearby clothing store, put some dust on his face, and put on a fake beard.

Putting on a hat, he instantly turned into an elderly man.

"With this skill, you can open a disguise shop!"

Seeing Lin Yi's outfit, Bao Bu Tong laughed out loud.

The next morning, Lin Yi went out dressed like this.

The effect of him following Bao Bu Tong was indeed good. Although his initial inquiries did not reveal any information about the rumors, he gained something else.
