Chapter 147 Takes a sharp turn and counterattacks one after another
From the perspective of probability, it is very possible.
From the facts, it is 100% certain that Xia Zu is a traitor.
What can be seen in the eyes of the people is not the case.
The reason why public opinion is terrifying is because a large number of ordinary people don't know the truth at all.
In other words, before they had time to find out what the truth was like, they were already surrounded by overwhelming public opinion.
Moreover, people firmly believe what they see.
This is believing is believing, seeing is believing.
As for whether what you see is what the people behind the scenes who manipulate public opinion deliberately want you to see, then... it doesn't matter.
No one cares about this.
Qin Mo has been a human being for two generations, so he can see it very clearly.
He thought of this almost instantly, and it is predictable that there must be a two-stage reversal in the direction of public opinion today.
The royal family is not a group of fools, they will never let go of this excellent opportunity to fight back against the five families.
Not to mention, why did the news of the border spread to the imperial capital first?
If there is no shadow of the royal family behind this, Qin Mo would not believe it.
He squinted his eyes, without any expression fluctuations on his face, and he didn't seem to have any strange emotions because of this.
However, if someone who is familiar with him sees this scene, he will clearly know...
Now Qin Mo is very upset.
Operation Huang Quan has clearly reached the final step, and he will soon achieve his goal, but at this time an accident happened.
Who would feel comfortable switching to it?
The ongoing dialogue between the Five Great Masters and Li Mou and the others is like adding insult to injury, making his already bad mood even more embarrassing.
Thinking like this, Qin Mo took out his mobile phone from his pocket and logged in to the website addresses of major media.
I saw the current front page headlines, all of which are popular, all of which are related reports such as Qing Yishui's "Border Victory, Champion Hou Weiwu" and so on.
As he expected, the direction of public opinion has reversed, and the data such as discussion popularity, search times, and browsing records are still soaring upwards.
Public opinion is far from reaching its peak, and the most turbulent wave has never appeared.
"This is really interesting."
Qin Mo murmured in a low voice, and at the same time withdrew his hearing, got up and walked towards the outer hall.
The banquet has already started for more than five minutes, but everyone is still in a state of confusion, and no one is going to host.
Everyone is waiting for the five princes to show up, and only after they get their consent can the main event of tonight be officially debuted.
It's just that, I'm afraid they never thought of it, and the five families don't have time to take care of them now.
As for Qin Mo, he was too lazy to participate in this kind of banquet, and wished to leave early.
He didn't listen to Li Mou's arrangement at all. After entering the banquet hall, he walked directly towards Li Yuan and the others.
Li Yuan and Chu Tianjiao, who were acquainted with each other, were gathering together. When they saw Qin Mo approaching with a blank face, their respective hearts flickered a little.
Chu Tianjiao raised the iconic pair of thick eyebrows on his forehead, and asked firstly:
"What happened? What about my father?"
Hearing this, Qin Mo did not answer directly, but said to several people:
"Come here to host the banquet. If it's almost time, let's end it when it's time. As for the princes...you'll know when you look at your phone."
Qin Mo spread his hands, then turned around and walked towards Li Tiangang, who was crouching in a corner and talking with a mature woman.
Li Yuan and the others stared at him blankly, they were all a little dazed for a moment, and a dazed look flashed in their pupils.
What the hell?
Chu Tianjiao rubbed the back of his head, and subconsciously pulled out his phone. Before he could take a closer look at what it was, the push reports from various media broke into his sight.
At this moment, everyone was startled, with expressions of shock on their faces.
"The frontier... actually won?!"
Chu Tianjiao muttered to himself, his words were full of surprise.
For him, it was inevitable that Daqin would win the battle, but he never expected that it would come so fast and win so abruptly.
This is not good news for the Five Great Masters.
For a moment, Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but froze in place.
The children of the other aristocratic families gathered around him keenly noticed his strangeness, and at the same time saw the message on the screen of his mobile phone.
So, with Chu Tianjiao as the center, the news of Xia Zu's victory quickly spread to all around.
In just a few tens of seconds, the entire banquet hall fell into a turmoil. Almost everyone was looking down at the mobile phone in their hands, full of shock.
Seeing this, the faces of Li Yuan and the others were not very good, but now is not the time to talk about other things.
Qin Mo became the hands-off shopkeeper, so they had no choice but to host the banquet to maintain order on the scene.
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Qin Mo and Li Tiangang in the corner.
He was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs habitually, quietly watching the slightly turbulent hall, his expression was as usual, like a deep pool of water, without any waves.
The hustle and bustle in the hall lasted for about 20 minutes before Chu Tianjiao and the others managed to control the situation.
At this time, it was obviously impossible to continue the planned celebration banquet, so they had no choice but to announce the end in advance as Qin Mo said.
Ten minutes later after the banquet, the Dukes of Li Mou finally appeared from the back of the small hall.
The faces of the five people did not seem to have changed, but everyone's brows were slightly wrinkled, as if they were deeply worried, which was difficult to resolve.
Li Mou walked up to Qin Mo and sat down beside him, the worry on his brows became more and more intense.
"How?" Qin Mo asked.
Hearing this, Li Mou shook his head, and said slowly: "From the current situation, it is extremely unfavorable to the five great families, but we will not just wait like this, the Presbyterian Council has initially decided on a counterattack strategy .
We must first try to see if we can bring public opinion back to the original direction. "
"Are you sure?" Qin Mo asked again.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence, it's too abrupt, the five families are not prepared at all, and behind the public opinion is indeed the power of the royal family.
Now there is only one night left, and I don't know if it is enough. "
Li Mou replied, frowning tightly.
Looking at Qin Mo at the side, a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes. Li Mou's words undoubtedly confirmed his guess.
What happened today, there is indeed a royal family playing tricks behind it.
but…
Qin Mo suddenly lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Why is there only one night left?"
"Because Xia Zu will return to the imperial capital early tomorrow morning, and by that time, the voice of the people will reach a peak, and it will be too late to change public opinion." Li Mou replied.
Afterwards, he got up from the sofa, bowed his head and said to Qin Mo: "The specific deployment of the imperial capital needs to be arranged by me personally, and I will talk to you later."
"Well, then I'll go home first."
Qin Mo nodded and said, watching Li Mou's back gradually disappear before his eyes, then said:
"In that case, let's go too."
"It's fine, it's up to you."
Li Tiangang shrugged, then raised his head and downed half a glass of red wine in his hand, and followed Qin Mo to leave the banquet hall.
The two of them had just left the house when a hot breeze blew in their faces, carrying a strong summer night flavor, which made people feel bored.
The dark night in front of them was like a gigantic spider web, covering their heads involuntarily, high above them, with playful eyes and mocking thoughts.
Qin Mo stood there, frowning slightly, and paused for about two seconds before moving on.
His subtle action did not hide from Li Tiangang's eyes.
Don't look at him being silent now, as if he is okay.
But actually, he was very upset.
Li Tiangang knew the specific reason for his unhappiness.
Soon, the two got into the supercar, and Li Tiangang stepped on the accelerator as soon as he came up, soaring the speed to the limit.
Facing the hunting wind coming from the pavement, he controlled the steering wheel with one hand, then stretched out the other hand and patted Qin Mo's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice:
"Boy, keep your heart in your stomach, although I was caught off guard this time, it doesn't matter at all.
Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty for thousands of years, there have been countless top aristocratic families like the Gaoling Xia Clan, but what is the final result?
Hasn’t it turned into a piece of loess in history, gradually disappearing in people’s hearts without leaving any traces.
The Five Great Masters are the Five Great Masters after all, and not any Amoah dog can shake them, so you don't have to worry too much. "
"Huh? Am I worried?" Qin Mo asked back.
"You have already written the word "unhappy" on your face, so you are not worried? There is nothing to worry about. The Xia family has lost so many direct bloodlines, and there is no way to recover. No one can save them."
At this point, Li Mou couldn't help smiling, and by the way, flicked the flowing bangs on his forehead.
However, Qin Mo did not continue to reply.
He always felt that this time it was not that simple, Xiazu and the royal family obviously came prepared.
Faced with the pressure from the previous five major groups and the offensive of public opinion, they did not make any counterattack at all, and adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
In this way, they waited until the last darkness before dawn, when people's vigilance was the lowest and their vigilance was the weakest, before they made a bold move!
The other party is like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves hunting in the silent wilderness, with extremely sufficient patience, and...
Endless madness.
It's really hard to say who will win the game.
No matter how weak the royal family of this generation is, it is still the royal family, the supreme king who has ruled the Great Qin Dynasty for thousands of years.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Anyone who despises the royal family will pay a heavy price.
Qin Mo narrowed his eyes again, with such emotion in his heart.
"I hope it's true as you said."
he whispered softly.
At this moment, an abrupt cell phone rang, piercing through the whistling wind, and falling firmly into Qin Mo's ears, it was extremely clear.
He lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, turned on the screen and saw that it was a call from Li Ming.
At this moment, Qin Mo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he didn't think about it, he directly pressed the dial button, put the phone to his ear, and prepared to listen to it first.
After the call was connected, Li Ming's solemn voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.
"Marquis of Guannei, something happened to the Security Bureau, and the Xia family's children are being imprisoned on the first basement floor..."
Boom!
It was like a thunderbolt rising from the ground, piercing through Qin Mo's mind.
His expression changed suddenly, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he immediately turned his head to Li Tiangang who was in the driver's seat and said in a deep voice:
"Turn to the Security Bureau first!"
Qin Mo's voice was three points heavier than before, and Li Tiangang instantly noticed the solemnity in it.
Therefore, he didn't have the exit to ask, but just nodded slightly, and then slammed on the accelerator to perform a deft and difficult drift, heading towards the security bureau.
…
ten minutes later.
Security Bureau, first basement floor, prison room.
Qin Mo put his hands behind his back, stared at the two corpses in front of him with a calm face.
The person lying in front of his eyes was none other than the two witnesses he specially prepared for the Gaoling Xia Clan...
Xia Dongfang, and Xia Mei!
These two people died inexplicably. The candle of life was completely extinguished, and even the relics of the Holy Spirit were analyzed. They were so dead that they could not die anymore.
And the most important thing is, don't die sooner, never die later, but die at this time.
Without witnesses, the various crimes committed by the Gaolingxia family are like rootless duckweed, without any convincing force at all.
Whether to say it or not, this is really a bit too coincidental.
It's no wonder that Qin Mo's face is gloomy now, like a deep pool.
The deaths of Xia Mei and Xia Dongfang undoubtedly made the situation worse, making the already bad situation even worse.
Qin Mo took a deep breath, then turned to look at Li Ming, and asked slowly:
"In the past few days, has anyone else come into contact with them?"
"I can take the head as a guarantee, absolutely not."
Li Ming's tone was firm, and it was obvious that he also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Immediately afterwards, he continued to speak: "Since the two were imprisoned in the cell, no one has entered the cell except me, and I have been hiding in the dark, guarding day and night. Here, one step never goes out.
Besides the building of the Security Bureau, there are dozens of S-class awakened under the secret arrangement of the five major families. They didn't notice anything unusual or found any suspicious persons.
If it was really done by someone himself, it is absolutely impossible to be silent, and it will definitely be exposed. "
After hearing what he said, Qin Mo couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.
There is no need to question Li Ming's loyalty, he can withstand any test.
That is to say, no one has entered the cell to commit murder.
But if you look at it this way, how did Xia Mei and Xia Dongfang die?
Qin Mo doesn't know for the time being, he retracts his gaze and continues to look at the corpse in front of him, now he can only wait for Li Changqing's investigation results.
Waiting for another ten minutes.
Li Changqing got up slowly, raised his sleeves to wipe off the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, looking extremely tired.
"I checked the remaining mental bodies of the two just now, and found a very slight trace of mental fluctuations in a very deep, hidden corner." He said slowly.
Hearing this, Qin Mo frowned slightly, and asked, "What does this fluctuation mean?"
"This means that a spiritual awakened person whose rank is far higher than mine tampered with the two of them. He used this slight mental fluctuation to detonate the spiritual seeds that were originally rooted in the two of them.
Moreover, judging from this ray of mental fluctuations, the planting time was not too long, probably within the last three or four days. "Li Changqing explained.
Qin Mo's brows were frowned even more tightly, his super brain was running rapidly, and countless complicated thoughts flashed in his mind instantly.
In the past three or four days, the only thing Xia Mei and Xia Dongfang did was to go to the royal restricted area from the security bureau.
If the other party wants to make a move, it can only choose at this time.
Whether they are going or returning, they are escorted by Li Ming and S-level awakened people arranged by the five masters. How did the other party manage to do it in the air?
Qin Mo couldn't figure it out, he really knew too little about spiritual awakened people.
However, as the spiritual system with the rarest number and the most mysterious ability in the entire awakened system, it must have some unique special means.
Such means are elusive.
But Qin Mo has roughly guessed the identity of the mysterious spiritual awakener whose rank is far higher than that of Li Changqing.
You must know that whether it was the Tiandihui at the beginning or the Gaoling Xia Clan now, there has always been a spiritual awakener hiding behind him, and he has never shown his face.
Even if Xia Xuan was killed and most of the Gaoling Xia Clan's power was destroyed, he never showed up, and he hid extremely deeply.
To be honest, Li Shi of Qingyang almost forgot that there is such a person.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he would use such a method to forcefully declare his existence.
At this moment, Qin Mo's face finally became extremely ugly.
This episode will end tomorrow
