Chapter 117 New Deputy Director
So and so, nothing to say all night.
The next morning, at the office on the top floor of the Security Bureau.
Qin Mo habitually sat in his old position next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, browsing all kinds of information bored.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he pointed to a message published by the Imperial Capital Morning Post this morning.
The above content is: His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire called five state officials and important officials from various departments at nine o'clock this morning to hold a court meeting in the restricted area of the imperial family.
"Um?"
Qin Mo frowned slightly, feeling suspicious.
He clearly remembered that Li Mou once told him that court councils are usually held only at the beginning of each month.
If it is at another time, it is usually an urgent matter, such as an accident at the border, or it was initiated by a person with a very high status.
And now...
Qin Mo glanced at the calendar, it was obviously not the beginning of the month.
"It seems that nothing important has happened at the border recently..."
He has to browse a lot of news about the border on his mobile phone every night. If there is a big event, it is absolutely impossible for him to miss it.
Even if the upper echelons have blocked the news of ordinary people, it is impossible for the Li family in Qingyang not to know about it, and Li Mou will definitely let him know.
Thus, these two possibilities are ruled out, and only the last one remains.
Someone with extremely high status and great power has initiated this court meeting on his own initiative.
"Is it one of the five thousand-year-old families? But what is it?"
Qin Mo was extremely puzzled.
Now is an extremely sensitive time point. The Gaoling Xia clan entered the imperial capital in a big way yesterday. They want to start building momentum for promotion to the top family, and today they convened a court meeting.
There must be some kind of connection between the two parties.
But Qin Mo is only a second-class Guanneihou, with only a false name but no real power, so he is not qualified to participate.
Of course, if it is a first-class champion, it is naturally a different kind of treatment.
Xia Zu can not only participate in the court deliberations, but can even get a very high seat, second only to the five princes.
But...
Although Qin Moren is not here, his ears can be there.
Thinking like this, he leaned back on the chair and quietly released his super hearing.
Nearby information rushed into Qin Mo's mind, and the super hearing coverage continued to expand, and soon entered the restricted area of the royal family.
Qin Mo discarded the complicated information from other directions, concentrated his listening and focused on the ancient hall where the discussion was held.
However, a weird scene appeared.
Qin Mo frowned gradually, his eyes flickered, and a look of astonishment flashed across.
He didn't eavesdrop on anything, not even a word.
This strange thing happened for the first time, and it had never been encountered before.
"Hey, that's weird."
Qin Mo muttered something in a low voice, and the super brain was running rapidly, quickly analyzing and calculating this abnormal event.
Soon, he had the answer in his heart.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with super hearing, there is no doubt about it.
Then there is only one explanation left. The ancient hall where the court discusses affairs has some unknown barrier that can hinder other people's exploration.
"It seems that the choice of discussing in this ancient antique hundreds of years ago is not only to show the majesty of the royal family..."
Qin Mo shook his head, regretfully withdrawing his hearing.
In fact, thinking about it carefully, the existence of this barrier is very reasonable.
To put it bluntly, the court deliberations are the center of the power of the Great Qin Empire, and most of the discussions there are crucial and top-secret matters.
If it is so easy to be detected by others without any defense, it will appear very abnormal.
It's just that now, not only is he gone, but even his ears are gone.
Qin Mo can only wait for Li Mou's side to finish, and then tell him again.
Thinking like this, the time soon came to the afternoon.
The clock hanging on the wall just passed two o'clock, and Qin Mo also just finished lunch and played billiards here, and returned to the office.
He took some goji berries and threw them into a thermos cup, then took a cup of boiling hot books, and walked to the window with it.
Through the window, Qin Mo glanced at the sun hanging in the sky, smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up, and whispered softly:
"Today's weather is not bad."
Several heavy footsteps sounded rhythmically outside the room, and gradually approached towards the door of the office.
Qin Mo held the thermos cup and turned his head to look. Although the pupils did not change, the perspective had been opened.
The thick wall turned into an illusion, and I saw three men and a woman walking towards here outside.
Among them, the woman is none other than Li Yuan.
As for the other three, they were unfamiliar faces that they had never seen before. Judging from their appearance, they were not very old, probably less than thirty years old.
Boom boom boom.
While Qin Mo was observing the three of them through the wall, several people had already reached the door of the office and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Qin Mo said calmly.
Hearing the words, there was only a squeak, the door was pushed open, and the leader was smiling.
"Presumably this is the young and promising Deputy Director Qin, I'll meet Guan Nei Hou."
The visitor said with a smile, he bent down slightly, and saluted gracefully as a sign of respect.
Seeing this, Qin Mo did not choose to accept his words.
He turned his head to look at Li Yuan behind the three of them, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Deputy Director, this is..."
"No, I'll introduce myself." The leader interrupted Li Yuan's speech forcefully without looking back.
His gaze was on Qin Mo from the moment he entered the door, and he never looked away for a moment.
"My surname is Xia, and I have a single name, Song. I was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire to serve as the deputy director of the Security Bureau. In the future, Deputy Director Qin and I will be colleagues."
Xia Song's face was full of smiles, and at the same time, he reached out and took the appointment document from another person, and opened it generously for Qin Mo to take a look.
It is clearly written in the document that the Security Bureau has added a new deputy director to the original position structure, which will be Xia Song.
However, Qin Mo didn't even look at the document.
His attention is not here.
"You just said that your surname is Xia?"
Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his brows, and was very surprised in his heart.
"Deputy Director Qin didn't hear about it, but I did say that my surname is Xia, Xia of the Gaoling Xia family."
Xia Song still smiled and answered slowly, but the smile with the corner of his mouth turned up, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is so weird and reveals weirdness.
Moreover, he didn't cover up at all, and clearly stated his identity and background.
He is a member of Gaoling Xia Clan!
Hearing Xia Song's answer, Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stood there in silence for a moment, then suddenly showed a faint smile, looked past the three of them, and said to Li Yuan:
"In this case, take Deputy Director Xia to find an office."
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded.
But before she could speak, Xia Song, the leader, took the lead again and spoke first:
"No, I will do it myself."
He still smiled, then nodded to Qin Mo, turned around and left.
Qin Mo watched his leaving back, his eyes narrowed more and more.
"Interesting."
In the morning when the court meeting was held, a member of the Gaoling Xia clan suddenly appeared in the afternoon, who somehow became the second deputy director of the Security Bureau.
This kind of thing is not usually interesting.
You know, the Security Bureau has always been the back garden of the Li family in Qingyang.
Xia Song's visit, is it obvious that he is disgusting Qin Mo and the Li family?
During the court meeting, what happened?
Qin Mo didn't know, and his eyes turned to Li Yuan again.
Li Yuan's expression was also ugly at this time. She closed the office door with her backhand, walked up to Qin Mo, and said slowly:
"Father called just now and asked you to go back to the manor with me tonight. He has prepared a family banquet."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Mo understood immediately.
He nodded without any hesitation and said:
"good."
The second update, I still feel better, but my body can’t bear it anymore, and my heart is aching. I will write more tomorrow, good night everyone.
