Beauty and the Bodyguard

“Your Majesty, I just thought of a candidate. I can send him to the ninth floor to check out Wuhou’s situation before making a decision.” Lin Yi said seriously.

” What?” The emperor was stunned before smiling.” I knew Minister Lin wouldn’t disappoint me.”

He didn’t mind making a deal with Lin Yi.

The strong all had their pride. Even if he sat in the position of the emperor, he could not order anyone around. There had to be an exchange of benefits.

If he wanted people to work for him, he had to give enough benefits.

He did not understand this principle when he first ascended the throne, but after being the puppet emperor for so many years, if he still did not understand it, he would have long been dead.

“I’m not familiar with the prison system, I’ll need the help of an insider.”

“I’ll instruct Vice Commander Wang to cooperate with me,” the emperor agreed immediately.

Wang Feng was the vice commander of the imperial guards. Logically speaking, he should not have much interaction with the imperial prison system.

However, very few people knew that he had climbed through the lowest levels of the imperial prison back then. By chance, he had caught Wu Wudi’s eye, which was why he had his current status.

Although he had escaped from the imperial prison system, he still had many connections within.

The level of these relationships was limited and they couldn’t do anything big on their own. However, if they were only responsible for cooperating, it was more than enough.

After exiting the palace, Wang Feng, who had received the order, immediately welcomed him with joy.

“Lord Lin, if you have any instructions, I will do my best to cooperate!”

He was completely convinced by Lin Yi now, not to mention that this operation was to save Wu Wudi.

Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder.” You should spend some time with your brothers in the prison. Treat them to a few drinks. We’ll need them to help us.”

Wang Feng agreed readily and patted his chest.” Don’t worry. I have to meet them every month. They’re all loyal brothers. If you need them to do anything, just call them.”

“This is a serious matter, I need you to check it carefully. You can’t screw it up.” Lin Yi stopped and looked at him seriously.

” Understood.” Wang Feng was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded heavily.” Understood. I’ll do it now.”

After sending Wang Feng away, Lin Yi returned to House Li.

Although Li Jianlong and the others had been caught in one fell swoop, the investigation of the Li family was still ongoing.

Lin Yi saw Cheng Shuang ‘er waiting at the door.

The white dress was like snow, like a bright scene in the cold winter, making passers-by look back and linger.

“Young Master.”

Cheng Shuang ‘er saw Lin Yi and greeted him excitedly.” Director Bu just told me some good news. The people’s acceptance of our rules has exploded in the past few days. It’s a hundred and sixty times higher than before!”

“Good news indeed. Good job.” Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.

Cheng Shuang ‘er stood in front of him, her eyes full of admiration.” It’s mainly because of Young Master’s brilliant methods. If Young Master didn’t snatch the bride, men and women, old and young, would be talking about it. Such explosive growth would have been unimaginable in the past.”

“It’s just a small trick for emergencies, it’s not something that can be used on a big scale. We’ll have to play it safe.” Lin Yi smiled.

“Yes, yes.”

Cheng Shuang ‘er nodded repeatedly.

Although he said that, when the news of Xiao Mang’s death spread, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

As the center of the conversation, he inevitably left a deep impression in the hearts of the people of the Inner Court.

At that time, the ones who would benefit in the end would still be the artificial rules under him.

Everything Lin Yi did was bound to the rules under his name by the public. To some extent, he was the spokesperson of his own rules.

This was a good thing, but one day, it would also become a bad thing.

After all, everything Lin Yi did didn’t necessarily conform to the wishes of the people.

Once a person was set up like Xiao Mang, if the house collapsed one day, it would directly affect the man-made rules under his name.

Lin Yi’s hands would be tied if he was worried about this.

Rather than becoming a public star, Lin Yi was more willing to be a hero. At least no matter what decision he made, he wouldn’t be tied down.

Therefore, it was only an emergency measure to direct the topic of conversation to him.

The real long-term plan was to seize the position of Grand Tutor, the key to controlling the publicity. Only in this way could he be invincible.

At this time, Li Zhu Long received the news and took the initiative to welcome him.

“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Manager Lin has done another earth-shattering thing. Now, the entire top circle is talking about you. They all praise you for being formidable and having a boundless future.”

Li Zhu Long’s face was filled with joy as he bowed deeply.

Cheng Shuang ‘er blinked at the side. Her level was not high, so she still did not know about the Grand Tutor Manor.

However, seeing that Li Zhu Long, as the dignified head of the Fengtian Prefecture’s Li family, actually put his attitude so low in front of her young master, it really made her feel honored.

One had to know that in her eyes, Li Zhulong was a big shot standing in the clouds.

But even such a big shot has to be respectful to my young master!

Cheng Shuang ‘er’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Yi’s side profile. She pursed her lips smugly.

“Patriarch Li, you flatter me. I’m just following orders.”

Lin Yi waved his hand nonchalantly.” But, Master Li, this is your chance.”

“My chance?”

” What?” Li Zhu Long was stunned when he heard this. Then, his eyes lit up.” Manager Lin, can you elaborate?”

He was a shrewd person among shrewd people. There were many things that did not need to be said clearly. With just a few words, he could immediately think of 70 – 80%.

“This is House Li,” Lin Yi laughed,”You’re just going to let me stand at the door and talk? Aren’t you going to treat me to some tea?”

“Look at my brain. I’m just happy for Manager Lin.”

Li Zhulong slapped his forehead and apologized profusely. He quickly invited Lin Yi to his study.

This was the most heavily guarded place in the Li family. Even the closest servants were not allowed to get close, especially since this place had been specially decorated. No matter how clever the outside world was, they could not eavesdrop on what was said in the study.

Cheng Shuang ‘er understood that Lin Yi and Li Zhulong were going to talk about something big, and she stopped.

“Young Master, Shuang ‘er will go back first.”

She knew that Lin Yi trusted her a lot, but it wasn’t long before she gained his trust.

In Lin Yi’s eyes, she wasn’t someone he could trust with his life.

That required time to settle down.

“Come in and listen to it, maybe you’ll be useful.” Lin Yi called out to her.

“Thank you, Young Master.” Cheng Shuang ‘er was delighted.
