The days passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, when Wang Qiang was wandering on the street, he suddenly heard some civilians around him discussing the matter of Eri.

"Hey, have you heard? That Academy Championship champion Ari robbed the daughter of the Dongmen family two days ago, and when he sent the daughter back yesterday, tsk!" The man who spoke shook his head, indicating that the scene was really miserable.

Wang Qiang sneered, how could Ai Rui do such a thing? He still needs to grab a woman if he wants it? Just as he was about to step forward and grab the man who spread the rumors, he suddenly heard that there was someone next to him echoing him, so driven by curiosity, Wang Qiang continued to listen.

"Unlikely, isn't it possible for the Empire to care about such a thing?" asked a man suspiciously.

"Anyway, what's the matter??'s background!'s son-in-law!'s son of the Palancelle's family!'s baron's baron, he's a nobleman!' our lives are worthless in their eyes!'" replied the man who had just begun to speak.

"Grass! these nobles are really not things!" another man stood up and spat hatefully.

In the singing and harmony of these people, the emotions of the surrounding masses were all mobilized.

Listening to the words of these civilians, Wang Qiang had some judgments in his heart: "Is public opinion offensive? I didn't expect that there are such methods in other worlds!"

Wang Qiang's heart is very heavy, and such a conversation can basically be determined to be secretly promoted by someone. The dialogue is too formatted, but it can easily mobilize the anger of these uninformed masses. As for the truth of the incident? Who cares? Anyway, they have been oppressed by the nobles for a long time, and this rumor is just using Ari as a fuse! This is to roast Ari on the fire! Who is so vicious to come up with such a plan?

Wang Qiang had no doubts about the lethality of this rumor, after living on the earth for so many years, he clearly knew that these rumors were enough to destroy a person!

So Wang Qiang immediately turned around and went to the Palaznell family.

On the way, Wang Qiang realized that the situation was even worse than he thought! Eight out of ten people Wang Qiang met were talking about Eri, which made Wang Qiang realize the powerful strength of the mastermind behind the scenes! At the very least, it was indeed beyond Wang Qiang's imagination in terms of controlling public opinion. In such an era when news is closed and there is no effective way to transmit it on a large scale, it is really beyond Wang Qiang's expectations that this rumor can be transmitted so quickly.

"Big Brother Eri, oh no!" Wang Qiang ran to Eri's room out of breath.

"What's wrong, what's going on?" asked Ari with concern.

"There are rumors outside that you robbed the people's daughters, and the speed of transmission is very fast, it is estimated that it will not take much time for the entire imperial capital to know this rumor!"

"I see, wait for me here, I say how can it be so quiet in the court!" said Ari.

"No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, it will definitely affect your reputation a lot, what do you say you should do?" Wang Qiang asked a little anxiously.

"What do you think should be done?" Ari's face was still smiling, and he asked Wang Qiang with interest.

"Things are so tense, don't be kidding!" Wang Qiang said speechlessly.

"The other party has been preparing for so long, I don't think I can save the situation by making a hasty move, so there is no need to rush this moment. Ari calmly explained, "Instead of being out in a hurry, it's better to think about countermeasures now!"

Wang Qiang thought about it, what Ai Rui said was really fucking reasonable! In this kind of offensive in public opinion, the first move is very important, and the second hand has almost completely lost the initiative, and can only defend passively, it is indeed better to calm down and find countermeasures.

Wang Qiang thought for a long time before he spoke: "There are many solutions, but there are few that are easy to use, especially when you can't confirm who is behind the scenes. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"The best way is to find the person behind the rumors and bring him to justice! This can restore your lost prestige to the greatest extent, but you will still lose some trust, especially some fools, they will admit that you did it!"

"The second way, you also spread some news to the outside world, but it's all positive news about you, such as guarding the frontier, killing countless enemies, etc., and then add a sentence, how can someone like you do that kind of thing. However, you will lose more prestige this way, and the degree of completion will depend on who is more capable of you, or the person behind it. This method can also be used in conjunction with the first method, which will work better. ”

"As for the worst way, it is nothing more than to silence everyone! Whoever dares to say this will be arrested and put in prison! With the passage of time, the impact of this matter will be minimized, but it is just that I am afraid that these people will rebound, and when the time comes, the basket will be even bigger! Looking at the means of the people behind the scenes, they may even take the initiative to provoke disputes, so try not to use this method!"

Wang Qiang said the solution he came up with in one breath.

"Hmm... Ari nodded noncommittally, and then said, "Red Fox, find someone to go to the city to investigate, I want to know how fast this rumor spreads, and pay attention to investigate who is behind the small moves!"

"Yes!" the red fox suddenly appeared in place, and then disappeared in place abruptly.

"Who do you think did it?" asked Ari.

"Do you need to ask? I already have the answer in my heart, I'm afraid you have the object of suspicion in your heart, yes! Ari said with a smile.

"Is it really him?" Wang Qiang's heart was very complicated, he didn't expect that the polite and gentle Seventh Prince would really do such an insidious and cunning thing.

After a while, the red fox appeared in front of Ai Rui again: "The speed of transmission this time is very abnormal, it is estimated that in three days at most, everyone in the entire imperial capital will know about this rumor! And the rumor is not only the one that Young Master Wang Qiang said before, there are many more excessive! As for the promoter behind it, I can only find a few insignificant people, the other party's actions are very hidden, and there are too many people involved, it is very difficult to investigate." ”

"It seems that he has a big problem for me!" said with a smile, "Wang Qiang, the strategy you said before is really good, but there are even simpler and more effective methods!"

"How?"

"If you want to suppress a piece of news, you just need to find a more exciting news to suppress this rumor, and in a few days, this rumor will be diluted and forgotten!" "Ari's eyes narrowed, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he whispered to himself, "If I have a fish with you, I'm afraid your expression will be very exciting!"
