Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.
Chapter 84: Granary Fire
Seeing Huangfu Qingling coming, Lin Yi immediately explained the situation to her.
"Where is Zhou Chaoxian now?"
Seeing the people suffering from such an unprovoked disaster, Huangfu Qingling could no longer contain his anger.
This kind of businessman who harms others must be punished adequately!
"They have been arrested. He and his accomplices are all in jail."
Bao Bu Tong answered immediately, which calmed Huangfu Qingling's anger a little.
Then she looked in the direction where the building collapsed and asked about the situation in the community.
"There's nothing going on in the neighborhood, they just need to clean up the trash."
Lin Yi said this as he accompanied Huangfu Qingling to inspect with a torch.
Apart from the fallen stones and broken wood, Lin Yi's community was almost unaffected.
This is also due to Lin Yi's use of cement as building material.
This extremely hard material successfully withstood the impact of the building's collapse.
Looking at these half-built communities, Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly.
"Let the refugees continue to build houses, and let the soldiers handle it over there."
Huangfu Qingling nodded and ordered Lin Yi.
With Lin Yi's company, she felt like she was following the arrangements of one of her trusted prime ministers.
He unconsciously gave Lin Yi an order.
"Of course. However, the officials in the Ministry of Works are already quite familiar with these construction sites."
"I think Bao Bu Tong and I should come together to interrogate Zhou Chaoxian later."
Lin Yi requested, "He made excuses for a lot of things last time, leaving us with no evidence to prove his guilt."
"No, I want to interrogate him myself."
Huangfu Qingling waved her hand slightly. Her personal interrogation also meant one thing: Zhou Chaoxian was doomed.
Her identity as the emperor was known only to a few officials, including Lin Yi, and it had never been leaked.
Therefore, as long as an ordinary person knows about this matter, he will either die if the matter is leaked, or he will be killed.
"Have the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel also prepare statistics..."
During the inspection, Huangfu Qingling directly used Lin Yi as the prime minister.
This can be considered a test and a temptation to see whether Lin Yi would resist this kind of "official position".
As a result, she was very satisfied and Lin Yi did not resist at all.
However, Lin Yi didn't react at all.
The next morning, the officers and soldiers were still there, but many of them had been selected to follow Huangfu Qingling into the cell.
Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong were by his side, like door gods.
"Lin Yi, are you proud this time?"
"My building collapsed?"
Zhou Chaoxian had been taken to the ruins for identification, and he could only admit that his building had collapsed.
"Why are you so proud?"
"How many people have you killed?"
Lin Yi said very seriously, "I don't want to compete with you at all."
"Humph, you're acting so noble now. Why didn't you buy it when I discussed it with you?"
Zhou Chaoxian was still being stubborn because he didn't know who was on the other side.
He only saw Bao Bu Tong following behind someone, most likely some noble princess or something.
"You quoted an unreasonable price, forcing me to look for other materials."
"Why would I buy yours when I have the materials?"
Lin Yi slowly retorted, leaving him speechless, "When you were building the building, I also reminded you not to make it too high, it would be dangerous, but you didn't listen at all."
At this moment, Zhou Chaoxian remembered what Lin Yi had said to him...
"I warned you, but you still insisted on doing it. This is a deliberate endangerment!"
Having said this, Lin Yi took a step back.
"The building collapsed. You should be rebuilding it. Why are you looking for me?"
Lin Yi knew that Zhou Chaoxian would make such an excuse.
"Mr. Zhou Chao, I have also heard some things about you recently."
"You are quite good at making excuses with your tongue."
Huangfu Qingling spoke coldly and sat down across from the table in the interrogation room.
After hearing these two sentences, Zhou Chaoxian instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
The word "Zhen" cannot be used by just anyone!
In addition, the rebellion of the King of Qi in the south can only be successful if the emperor is not around...
He could be sure that he was facing the emperor!
"So the emperor is a woman?"
Zhou Chaoxian suppressed his fear and smiled coldly, "No wonder the King of Qi wants to rebel."
"Your words are treason."
"Also, whether I am a man or a woman is a matter of life and death for anyone who tells me otherwise."
Huangfu Qingling's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.
"What about Lin Yi?"
"He's an outsider!"
"Shouldn't he be dead?"
Zhou Chaoxian just felt that he was doomed to die, and before he died, he must take someone with him!
"Lin Yi has been building houses and opening shops for me since the Entertainment City."
"He is not an outsider."
Huangfu Qingling's words put an end to Zhou Chaoxian's delusion of becoming a water ghost and dragging people into the water.
"Your Majesty, I know one thing, but I must stay alive!"
Zhou Chao spoke first, "This is about the safety of Liangzhou City. If you spare my life, I will tell you everything!"
"I will investigate the matter, you don't have to..."
As soon as Huangfu Qingling spoke, Lin Yi leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Your Majesty, he should know something, and you let him live, but you didn't tell him how to live."
Lin Yi reminded.
"You... too."
Huangfu Qingling was hesitating whether to kill him. After all, simply killing him would be too easy for him.
In that case, let him live a life worse than death.
After she agreed, Zhou Chaoxian told her what he knew, "According to my understanding, the King of Qi's war in the south is not going well, and he has sent many people north."
"We want to destroy Liangzhou City and some surrounding cities."
Hearing this, Lin Yi felt that it was unexpected but reasonable.
But Huangfu Qingling suddenly became serious.
"Master Bao! Something bad has happened!"
An officer suddenly rushed in and yelled, "The granary is on fire!"
"Master Bao, our security booth just found some people trying to poison people near some wells!"
Another officer also rushed over to report.
It seems that what Zhou Chaoxian said was right, and this group of people has already arrived in Liangzhou City!
"Bao Bu Tong, you should punish him according to the Dayong Law, as soon as possible."
Huangfu Qingling said, and immediately stood up, "Lin Yi, let me go and see what's going on."
After saying that, Huangfu Qingling took Lin Yi to the granary area south of Liangzhou City.
A large amount of grain is stored there, not only for the army, but also to ensure that the entire area around Liangzhou City will not suffer from famine in years of famine!
Before leaving, she gave Bao Bu Tong some hints, which were naturally the punishment of hooking his tongue and cutting off his hands, and then he would be thrown into a cell.
A moment later, Huangfu Qingling brought Lin Yi to the vicinity of the granary.
But I saw a raging fire rising and its momentum was getting stronger and stronger!
"Quickly put out the fire!"
"The fire is too big..."
"Hurry up, this place can't catch fire!"
Officers, soldiers and civilians were helping to put out the fire.
Even Chu Yaoyue showed up from Prince Qing's mansion and called in soldiers to help put out the fire.
But the fire in such a large area of the granary was impossible to put out all at once.
