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

Chapter 182 Alienation

Lin Yi hurried back to his room to check what was going on, but he discovered that there was already someone in his room!

"who are you?"

Lin Yi frowned and stared at the man.

This person is relatively young and very unfamiliar.

Judging from his clothes, he is definitely not an ordinary businessman.

Then Lin Yi saw the big seal he had placed casually on the table.

This is an official!

"Who are you?"

It was obvious that this person was recruited after Lin Yi left, otherwise most of the officials who knew about Xiao Changyun's incident would have heard of Lin Yi's name.

"This room is mine."

"Why are you standing?"

Lin Yi frowned. He had some other designs in his room, such as a football field.

After all, we can build a few more football fields near the capital to enhance people's entertainment life.

But... he looked around carefully and found that there was indeed nothing of his in there, even the things in his closet were missing.

"What's your room?"

“This is the Chamber of Commerce!”

"It's the Chamber of Commerce under the Ministry of Revenue!"

The man shouted, and two guards took him out!

At that moment, Lin Yi was a little at a loss. He sneaked in again and walked around.

There were even people in official uniforms!

This is no longer the Chamber of Commerce as before. How could it become like this in just two months?

Fortunately, I still had some money on me, otherwise, all the money would have been embezzled by the Ministry of Revenue!

Lin Yi searched in there for a long time but didn't see Chen Chong and Xu Chuan, so he had to leave.

He strolled around the capital again. The shops in the entire capital had not changed much, and most of the people were still the same.

Lin Yi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then thought for a moment.

Since the Chamber of Commerce is now completely taken over by the Ministry of Revenue, I have to look elsewhere.

Thinking of this, he went all the way east and came to the comprehensive post station.

I think I can always find Xu Chuan here?

Sure enough, Xu Chuan is still here.

When he entered the room and saw Xu Chuan, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Yi, where did you go for the New Year?"

"We've been looking for you everywhere!"

Xu Chuan walked up to Lin Yi with an anxious look on his face, then went upstairs to find a room to sit down first.

Later, Chen Chong also came after hearing the news.

"Lin Yi, the situation in the capital has changed!"

Chen Chong looked distressed.

"What's going on? Did the Chamber of Commerce take over and the Ministry of Revenue kick you out?"

Lin Yi asked.

"I just heard that it seems that Hao Zhong had a showdown with His Majesty."

"Then, for some unknown reason, His Majesty gradually began to employ Hao Zhong."

Chen Chong frowned and spoke slowly, "I only got to know some of the inside story after I bribed one or two of Xiao Changyun's former officials."

"What about the different bags?"

"How is he now?"

Lin Yi frowned and asked.

If Hao Zhong comes up, Bao Bu Tong will probably be suppressed.

"I don't know about that."

Chen Chong shook his head slightly.

"You try to find Bao Bu Tong. I want to find him."

Lin Yi felt that these two people were able to enter the palace with his help, but they had no way to contact the top leaders themselves.

Bao Bu Tong is different, he is the Minister of Justice!

"I'll go look for it first. You can rest here first."

Having said that, Chen Chong went to find someone first.

From Xu Chuan's narration, Lin Yi roughly understood how much had happened in the past two months, or almost the entire spring.

Originally, Lin Yi thought that with Duan Xu's help in investigating Hao Zhong, there should be no problem.

If he had known these things would happen earlier, he probably wouldn't have "hid" in the military camp for so long.

Xu Chuan didn't know what was happening in the palace and the court, but the Chamber of Commerce began to change a month ago.

The Ministry of Revenue slowly began to send assistant ministers and ministers to take over.

In the last ten days or so, the entire chamber of commerce has been replaced.

Xu Chuan and Chen Chong were the last to be kicked out.

According to the information we have now, although Xu Chuan and Chen Chong still control the entire production and sales of the capital's business, the right to speak is no longer in their hands.

Under the direct order issued by the Ministry of Revenue, many things were actually restricted.

Originally, Xu Chuan and Chen Chong could only find ways to spend money to subsidize some of the rules set by Lin Yi.

This makes the already "weak" raw materials business even more difficult.

If it weren't for Chen Chong and Xu Chuan's hard work, the "business empire" that Lin Yi had worked so hard to build would probably have collapsed.

With so many things already happening, the entire capital’s economy is about to collapse!

In the evening, Bao Bu Tong was called by Chen Chong.

"Lin Yi, you are finally back."

Bao Bu Tong slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yi.

"Bao Bu Tong, what happened?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly and asked in understanding.

"I'm afraid there will be big changes in the entire court."

"It should be said that Hao Zhong exerted his strength."

Bao Bu Tong lowered his head slightly as he spoke, "I'm sorry, Lin Yi, I didn't hold on."

"Just tell me what happened?"

Lin Yi asked.

It turned out that Hao Zhong took advantage of Lin Yi's absence and used a trick to turn the tables on him.

He went straight to Huangfu Qingling and confronted her, saying that he wanted to be the prime minister and that all his efforts were to find out what Huangfu Qingling was thinking.

In an instant, Huangfu Qingling slowly began to trust Hao Zhong.

Then Hao Zhong brought out the plans for the football field, as well as various other plans Lin Yi had previously had...

Through these, he gradually gained the trust of Huangfu Qingling, and even became the prime minister just two days ago!

"Ning Tian and I have been impeaching, but..."

Bao Bu Tong lowered his head and shook his head slightly, "Ning Tian was demoted to Donghai City to serve as the prefect. I have been with His Majesty through thick and thin, but at least I still hold the position of Minister of Justice."

"Your Majesty shouldn't be such a person, right?"

Lin Yi frowned, he absolutely did not believe that Huangfu Qingling would be so "brainless"!

"Hao Zhong has calculated this well. He probably wanted Your Majesty to think he was your replacement from the very beginning."

Bao Bu Tong replied, "After all, if you don't want to be the prime minister, His Majesty won't be able to give you orders."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, he finally understood Hao Zhong's "psychological strategy".

Indeed, he is an excellent person, but his excellence is in the wrong place.

"I understand. If he really wants to build Dayong well, I have no objection."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "I just need to take a break."

Speaking of the Duan family, he thought of someone, "Where is Duan Xu?"

"He was seriously injured and unconscious. I secretly rescued him, but he hasn't woken up yet."

Bao Bu Tong said, "It seems he was poisoned. Hao Zhong said he was the assassin who tried to kill him. I can only protect him under the pretext of asking the Ministry of Justice to interrogate him."

"he got hurt?"

Lin Yi frowned even more tightly. This Hao Zhong was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined!

……

At the same time, Hao Zhong was in Huangfu Qingling's study.

"Your Majesty, the Chamber of Commerce has received all of these."

"In fact, it was a very unwise choice for Your Majesty to let Lin Yi design weapons and deal with the military."
