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

Chapter 156: Saving people is important

These masked men quickly divided the work and cooperated with each other. After injuring several people behind Hao Zhong, they quickly tied up Hao Zhong with ropes.

"Help!"

"Hurry up and save me!"

Hao Zhong shouted in panic, and then his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, a sack was put on him, and he was carried away by these people!

Upon seeing this, Bao Bu Tong immediately sped up his bike and rushed towards the group of masked men, but... the group of masked men suddenly rushed into the woods nearby and disappeared.

Even though Bao Bu Tong got out of the car and kept chasing in that direction, he couldn't see any trace of him...

Lin Yi immediately called over the nearby officers and soldiers, and the officials who had followed Hao Zhong to greet them also slowly came to their senses.

"what happened?"

"Why was Minister Hao arrested?"

Lin Chuchen frowned and immediately found someone who looked relatively sober to ask.

"I...we don't know either..."

"We've never seen those masked men before..."

"Why did they arrest Minister Hao?"

Several officials looked confused.

Before Bao Bu Tong came back, Lin Yi was not sure, so he could only follow him to the newly built small hotel to rest.

Unlike the big hotel, at the end of this western line is a "small hotel".

Although it only has four floors, it is long and narrow and can accommodate many people.

Moreover, cement and square are used underneath to reduce weight, so the whole hotel is very stable.

Lin Yi ate a little in the lobby of the small hotel and waited for Bao Bu Tong to come back.

He thought that with Bao Bu Tong's skills, he should be able to catch up.

But a moment later, he saw Bao Bu Tong coming back covered in dust and empty-handed.

"Didn't catch him?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly. Even Bao Bu Tong couldn't catch up with him with his skills. Who was that person?

"No, I'm too late."

"They've already rushed into the woods."

Bao Bu Tong sat at the table, picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of pork, and slowly said, "They are very fast, and they have a plan in advance!"

He could only think that the other party had already prepared the route.

Otherwise, with my skills in finding enemies as a graduate of the Ministry of Justice, there is no way I could have caught up with him.

And it's broad daylight now. He has such confidence, and this is definitely not the first time he has done something like this!

"When I arrived, I had already arranged for people to search the area around the capital."

Bao Bu Tong said as he slowly sighed, "It's really my fault this time."

"It's not your problem. They already had a plan. There's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Yi comforted.

But at this time, Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong were no longer in the mood to discuss other things.

Whether it is inspecting the small hotel built next to the post station, or the affairs of some illegal vendors in the capital.

The two of them ate in silence. The lively atmosphere of the people eating and drinking around them made the atmosphere in the whole hall quite good, but the happiness and liveliness belonged to them. Only Lin Yi's table was silent.

"I'd better take a look at the construction of this post station and the tavern first."

"Let's take a bath later and then go back."

Lin Yi frowned and spoke slowly.

After all, this somewhat heavy mood now will definitely affect what happens next.

The capital city was under the rule of the emperor, yet in broad daylight, a minister was kidnapped by thieves.

How terrifying is this?

Afterwards, Lin Yi took Bao Bu Tong to look around and confirmed that there were no problems with the construction before going to the bathhouse provided at the post station.

After entering the big pool, Lin Yi calmed down.

Feeling at ease, he also had a lot of ideas about this case.

"Bao Bu Tong, how many people do you think can escape your pursuit with your skills?"

Lin Yi asked slowly.

"almost none."

Bao Bu Tong answered immediately. At this moment, Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong thought of the same thing at the same time.

"They didn't escape!"

The two of them said it almost at the same time!

"If the other party knew your skills, they would definitely not run away in silence."

"Then it must be dark under the light, you thought they were running away."

"After you chase me and find that you've lost me, you will definitely come back."

Lin Yi analyzed, "They won't leave until you come back!"

"Besides, they're taking Minister Hao with them, so they won't move very quickly!"

Bao Bu Tong added.

Unfortunately, he was too slow to react.

If I had thought of it at that time, I would have been able to find them!

When he saw Minister Hao being arrested, he felt the same as Lin Yi, that is, to catch these people!

In his haste, he made a huge mistake!

"Don't worry, we can always catch them if we spread them out."

"Again, their ability to act with Minister Hao won't be very strong."

Lin Yi said a few more words of comfort.

"You have a point."

"Let's discuss the issue of those vendors."

After Bao Bu Tong calmed down, he began to discuss the issue of illegal vendors with Lin Yi.

After all, this matter had been passed around between his subordinates in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue, and there was no good solution.

"My subordinates are legitimate businessmen and would never do such a thing."

Lin Yi slowly said, "I've done some undercover investigations before, and there aren't any such problems in the four major markets, surrounding bars, and some small supermarkets."

Since it was a secret visit, there was no possibility of any suspicion of pretense.

"The things I give are all good quality and cheap, and the cost is not high."

Lin Yi continued to explain, "If we only take out these goods to calculate the bill, except for the bar, everyone is losing money!"

This can be regarded as another form of "high salary to maintain integrity". Lin Yi uses the extra money earned from the service industry to subsidize these industries, so that the overall business can achieve balance.

“So those vendors must be people who want to follow suit but have no other options.”

Lin Yi said, "I think the Ministry of Revenue can ignore this matter, but the Ministry of Justice must."

"Can……"

Bao Bu Tong also understands this logic, but passing the buck is a fact.

"Let your Majesty come down."

"This matter can be considered as our Chamber of Commerce requesting the Ministry of Justice to intervene."

Lin Yi said, "Although I'm not an official, if I ask, it shouldn't be easy for the Ministry of Revenue to refuse, right?"

It’s not that he dislikes the Ministry of Revenue, but the Ministry of Justice is better at arresting people.

"Too."

There was some sign of a solution to this problem, and Bao Bu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

After they returned, Lin Yi began to think about how to get these vendors to join the "Chamber of Commerce" system.

If we can allow them to join this interest system and give them enough space to make money, we should be able to avoid those inferior products.

Bao Bu Tong mobilized all the officers and soldiers in the capital to search for Hao Zhong's whereabouts.

Finally, three days later, Hao Zhong was found.

He was in a cave, completely stunned.

That night, Hao Zhong was taken to the Ministry of Justice. Bao Bu Tong wanted to know what had happened.
