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

Chapter 132 Assassination

"Yes!"

That night, Bao Bu Tong brought people to the prison.

He led his men all the way to the bottom level, and in the deepest part of the almost dark prison, there was actually a little light.

As he walked in, Bao Bu Tong was shocked.

In the Sky Prison, the only cell open to the public with plenty of fish and meat is Lin Yi's!

The food of several prisoners in the death row nearby also improved due to Lin Yi's arrival.

"This... should I save him or not?"

Bao Bu Tong looked at the officers and soldiers on his left and right, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

How can this be called a prison cell? It's simply a single-person, all-in-one housing unit!

"I'm going to the toilet."

Lin Yi inside spoke, and then the jailer followed him outside.

"I haven't seen you for a few days."

Seeing that the bag was different, Lin Yi looked relieved.

"Have you been arrested?"

Bao Bu Tong stared at Lin Yi with wide eyes.

"Of course I was caught. Didn't you see the guards watching me?"

Lin Yi pointed behind him and said slowly, "Not only does he want to arrest me, Xiao Changyun also wants to send assassins to kill me!"

Hearing this, Bao Bu Tong suddenly panicked, "Where is the assassin?"

"Here, here, I'm an assassin!"

A man in night clothes walked out of Lin Yi's cell.

He came in armed and not even wearing a mask.

"Aren't you going to kill Lin Yi? Why are you with him?"

Bao Bu Tong asked immediately.

Afterwards, an extremely outrageous story was told by everyone in the toilet.

It is said that Xiao Changyun really wanted to kill Lin Yi privately.

So he sent someone to find the killer.

Coincidentally, the person sent was Chen Chong.

"That's why Chen Chong knew you were imprisoned here."

While using the toilet, Bao Bu Tong nodded slightly.

"That's right. Then, I'll find someone to enjoy it with."

Lin Yi continued to tell the story.

Chen Chong did find a killer, but he didn't find a killer to kill Lin Yi, but a killer who would kill Xiao Changyun for fun.

Every day he reported his "progress" to Xiao Changyun, such as reaching the vicinity of the prison, or testing the guards.

A prison is an extremely difficult place for ordinary assassins to attack, let alone a prison in the capital.

Not only did Xiao Changyun not have any doubts, he even praised the assassin for being cautious.

Then, the assassin ate, drank and had fun in Lin Yi's cell every day.

"Aren't you afraid that Xiao Changyun will send someone to poison you?"

Walking out of the toilet, Bao Bu Tong continued to ask.

"Uh... He needs to bribe the cook, which will cost at least three thousand taels."

Lin Yi slowly said, "The question is, is he willing to spend three thousand taels to bribe the cook just to kill me?"

All the jailers in the Sky Prison, including the warden, have been bribed by Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi did not commit any serious crime, so they felt better.

There were quite a few people imprisoned in this "Sky Prison" on trumped-up charges, so with Lin Yi's "money", they also improved the lives of the prisoners in these "Sky Prisons".

I can eat good food every day and drink fruit wine.

If it weren't for the inability to send in craftsmen, Lin Yi almost wanted to repair the cell.

"Xiao Changyun only gave me three hundred taels."

The assassin said, "Even if he could bribe the cook, he would never give me this little money."

After a few interactions, Bao Bu Tong finally understood that Lin Yi was treating the prison as a vacation destination.

Being controlled like this, he had everything he wanted, and he didn't even have to worry about the construction of Lianjingdu outside.

"If you're not here, what will happen to Lian Jingdu?"

Bao Bu Tong thought of this problem instantly.

"It's enough for Lian Jingdu to have them. If they can't even build a house after following me for so long, then it's all in vain."

Lin Yi said as he took a bite of the lamb leg, "You should try it too. This roasted whole lamb is said to be a specialty sent from the Yan Kingdom in the north!"

Faced with such a "big corrupt official", Bao Bu Tong could only "reluctantly" follow and enjoy it.

He then left two people to help watch over the situation in Lin Yi's cell, and went back at night to report to Huangfu Qingling.

Lin Yi's comfortable life in prison made Huangfu Qingling feel both amused and helpless.

"I can't spoil him like this. Bring up this matter tomorrow."

Having said this, Huangfu Qingling asked Bao Bu Tong to leave.

The next morning, in the Golden Palace.

"I recently wanted to look for Lin Yi. Why did he suddenly disappear?"

After the officials from the six ministries finished speaking, Huangfu Qingling raised the question, "Minister of Justice, someone is missing. It's under your jurisdiction. Please speak."

The Minister of Justice knew it very well. He glanced at Xiao Changyun before speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, the criminal Lin Yi has committed a serious crime and is currently imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

The Minister of Justice looked at Xiao Changyun as he spoke.

Xiao Changyun nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say but I'm not sure whether I should or shouldn't."

Bao Bu Tong immediately used Huangfu's cleaning function to speak, "I heard that Lin Yi was arrested by Prime Minister Xiao because he had committed a serious crime against the sea!"

"Prime Minister Xiao, how did you know that he had committed the serious crime of maritime prohibition?"

Huangfu Qingling naturally knew this, but in a "respectable" setting like a court meeting, she couldn't speak directly. The ministers in the court were all masters of playing dumb, and if she, Huangfu Qingling, wanted to "fight" with them, she naturally had to learn to play dumb.

"I was once invited by Lin Yi to see what he had built."

"However, I saw him building a port in Lianjingdu. This is clearly a violation of the maritime ban and an attempt to open up trade!"

Xiao Changyun was confident, but Huangfu Qingling didn't have the guts to challenge Dayong's ancestors! The maritime ban had been in place since the founding of the country. How could a young emperor shake it?

"Now that Dayong has so much to rebuild, is this maritime ban still necessary?"

Huangfu Qingling naturally had to put in a lot of effort to save Lin Yi.

Just thinking about using these rivers as ports and accelerating the development of commerce in various places made her excited.

This is not only beneficial to the capital, but also to the entire Dayong!

"Your Majesty, no!"

"The maritime ban is a century-long plan!"

"I second the proposal..."

As the ministers of the "Xiao Changyun faction" spoke, the entire court, except for the Ministry of War, was divided into two factions.

One faction, headed by Xiao Changyun, upholds the maritime ban, believing it to be a fundamental principle.

The other faction is the young elites promoted by Huangfu Qingling. Regardless of whether they have followed him to Liangzhou City or not, they all stand on Huangfu Qingling's side.

They are going to start discussing the maritime ban.

"Why not bring Lin Yi up for trial first?"

"If you are guilty, you will be beheaded immediately."

Xiao Changyun wanted to pull Lin Yi out first, and as long as he said one wrong word, he could "cut the Gordian knot" for him.

Not long after, Lin Yi knelt in the hall pretending to be listless.

"Lin Yi, do you admit your guilt?"

Xiao Changyun asked immediately.

"What crime? Please tell me again, Prime Minister Xiao!"

Lin Yi slowly raised his head.

Xiao Changyun loudly spoke out the crime committed by Lin Yi, which immediately intensified the conflict between the two factions.

"This is about the maritime ban, so let me consider it."

Huangfu Qingling wanted to prevent Xiao Changyun from directly killing Lin Yi by violating the maritime ban, so she began to delay.
