Chapter 119: Falling into a trap and hiding the truth
"Xu Chuan, there are some things I haven't told you, but now I still want you to continue to help deceive them."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Huang Chang, Yang Jian, you all return to your positions and do your job well."
As he said this, Bao Bu Tong walked in.
"Lin Yi, it's done, but you still need to carry out the details."
Bao Bu Tong stood on the side of Lin Yi and Huangfu Qingling. Even if the Minister of Justice followed Xiao Changyun more, he would not become a "follower".
"Okay, Xu Chuan, come and help me when I'm done here."
"This bar must not fail within two months."
"However much I lose, I will make up for it with the money I brought with me."
After hearing what Lin Yi said, Xu Chuan understood.
The bar was a bait from beginning to end. It didn't matter even if these seemingly "core" things like cider were in Xiao Changyun's control!
So all he had to do was run the bar well.
After making arrangements for Xu Chuan and the others, Lin Yi followed Bao Bu Tong to the outside of the capital.
The dismissed Minister of Works was almost ready in a forest.
In addition to recruiting a lot of people, a large number of tools were also made from different blacksmith shops.
"Lord Lin, everything is ready. Three thousand more people are on their way. The Ministry of Revenue has already taken notes on a part-time basis. They will all start the construction."
Bao Bu Tong helped to explain.
"Okay, let's start with the land across from the post station. We'll build a blacksmith shop, make alcohol, and make instant noodles."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he handed the design drawings to the Minister of Works.
They split up and began to lead people to level the land and cut wood.
Most of these woods were transported to the rear of the opposite post station for storage, while the wall here was built with cement as the foundation.
In order to avoid Xiao Changyun's suspicion, Lin Yi spent most of his time hiding in his own house to make subsequent plans.
A few days later, the stored wood was almost ready, and Lin Yi called Xu Chuan.
"Boss Lin, do I need to start working?"
Xu Chuan asked excitedly.
Because the bar has been sealed, Xu Chuan, Huang Chang, Yang Jian and others have been resting.
Lin Yi also gave them the opportunity for "paid leave", so no one wanted to leave.
"Well, I want you to run the post station, which is located east of the capital. Later, someone will expand the post station, so you need to prepare everything."
Lin Yi said this and handed some designs to Xu Chuan.
When he saw these designs, he was completely excited.
Although the entire entertainment city of Liangzhou City was not moved here, the more core businesses that could be used to complement the post station were all moved here.
On the one hand, a bar area is being prepared in the inn, and the rest is the expansion of the post station and the establishment of bathhouses and chess and card rooms in the back.
It is obvious that the business will be started based on the post station east of the capital.
"However, there is a supply problem..."
Although he was excited, Xu Chuan was not an unrealistic person. He immediately thought of the source of goods.
Liangzhou City has the Niujia Village workshops that can provide a continuous supply, but...
"I've already bought the post station. You run it first, and someone else will take care of the construction."
"As for massage, you can take some time to go to Liangzhou City to find a few girls for training. They must be adapted to the bathhouse."
After saying these words, Lin Yi began to take over the bar business.
This tactic of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang was actually concealed by Xiao Changyun.
For more than half a month, Xiao Changyun has been "learning" from Lin Yi's bar.
He even found Niujia Village in Liangzhou City and bought a large amount of alcohol.
Wait until a month later, when spring has not yet arrived.
The investigation by the Ministry of Justice finally produced results.
That night, Xiao Changyun and the Minister of Justice brought the prisoner to Lin Yi's house in person.
"Boss Lin, after more than a month of hard work, we finally caught the man!"
Xiao Changyun gave a very difficult smile and came to the hall of Lin Yi's mansion.
Then, the smile turned to confusion, "Why are your men gone?"
"To be honest with you, Prime Minister Xiao, this has been a while."
"I can't afford to pay those people, but I can't let them take the money for nothing, right?"
Lin Yi frowned, pretending to have suffered a great loss, "So I sent them all away temporarily."
"This...this is such a pity...If Boss Lin doesn't mind, I can arrange some manpower for you."
Xiao Changyun continued with a look of pain, "These are the criminals who smashed, looted and robbed people."
Afterwards, the Minister of Justice took over the topic and began his "performance".
"Boss Lin, after more than a month of investigation, we finally found this gang of hooligans."
Under the "narration" of the Minister of Justice, Lin Yi actually heard a rather long story.
This group of hooligans had been smashing, looting and robbing everywhere and had only recently settled down. When they learned that Lin Yi's new store had opened, they immediately wanted to blackmail him.
After the hard work of the Ministry of Justice, these gangsters were finally caught.
The people in front of Lin Yi are the gangster leaders.
"Since it can be solved perfectly, it is naturally the best."
Lin Yi also cooperated with the performance.
Who doesn't know that you used these people to take the blame?
"For the following matters, please judge the case carefully, Lord Shangshu."
As Lin Yi spoke, he borrowed some manpower from Xiao Changyun and then ran the bar.
Two days later, Lin Yi's bar reopened. Although a new group of people had been replaced, the reopening went smoothly.
Just as he thought, by this time, all the restaurants in the capital had mastered the technique of mixing alcohol.
There are all kinds of apple cider, peach wine, and plum wine.
The poker and dice table entertainment activities in his shop have also been imitated by other restaurants.
Therefore, the business of Lin Yi's bar is just average, at best, it is only as popular as an ordinary restaurant.
However, Lin Yi was still doing business seriously, and even Xiao Changyun couldn't tell that he had other plans.
I really think that Lin Yi should stop here.
Lin Yi personally ran the bar for a month, and the business was neither good nor bad, and sometimes he even lost money.
However, he has been waiting for news. As long as his workshop can be expanded and the post station can be renovated, then this bar will be dispensable.
Anyway, it has improved the lives of most people.
"Boss Lin, there's news."
Late that night, the bar was closing and a guard came in to report.
His voice was so soft that only Lin Yi could hear it.
"Come in and talk."
Lin Yi said this and took the guard upstairs to the bar.
"Is everything okay over there?"
He asked quietly, "You just nod and shake your head."
Seeing the guard nod, Lin Yi immediately smiled.
"Come on, follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Not long after, Lin Yi arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xiao Changyun was about to go to bed after drinking cider when he heard the housekeeper come to report that Lin Yi had arrived.
"Boss Lin, what brings you here so late at night?"
Xiao Changyun just felt that Lin Yi was about to be forced to retreat by him.
"Prime Minister Xiao, my bar is not doing well."
"I wonder if Prime Minister Xiao knows a businessman who can buy it?"
When Lin Yi said "a businessman I know", he actually hoped that Xiao Changyun could buy the bar.
