455 The Beginning of Civil Strife (Part II)

How can this be......

The marchers directly killed a hereditary count?

Before Yang Wei saw the live video brought by the lawyer, his head was full of question marks.

He is well aware, of course, that demonstrations are inevitably mixed with violent elements, and that in some areas there have been egregious incidents in which thousands of people have been injured and arrested.

But these clashes have largely taken place between militants in the procession and local security forces.

Those big aristocrats either brought in a large number of security guards to protect their homes, or simply had their own private soldiers to deter the marching masses by force; Even some of the weaker nobles would take the initiative to hide in some remote residences at the beginning of the parade.

This hereditary earl, who was killed by the marchers, belongs to the middle way and has no title?

The opposite is true.

Along with the video of the murder, it was sent to Yang Wei, as well as the details of the deceased.

Marlo Quigan, the hereditary earl of the empire, has a small fief, although the administrative star where the fief is located is not rich, but the conditions are not bad, and the accumulation of years has made Count Quegan have a strong family foundation.

Like many aristocratic families, Quegan did not like to live in his own narrow territory. - An example of Yang Wei being directly rewarded with a planet is very rare in today's empire, mainly because the Saka Star was in ruins at that time.

Earl Quagan has lived in Yahaxing for a long time, and owns many private properties in Yahaxing, and the group of companies under his name involves many resources such as media, culture, and mineral trade.

To put it simply, Quingen himself was a wealthy nobleman, and he had good popularity and high fame among the aristocracy.

The sudden accident of such a person is very likely to trigger a backlash from the aristocracy.

Yang Wei clicked on the video and calmly accelerated to finish it.

At the beginning of the video, Earl Quegan stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, chatting and laughing with several business partners.

Floor-to-ceiling windows open to a bustling streetscape of bustling crowds holding signs, souvenirs, and markers related to white ghosts, chanting slogans such as 'Heroes are not guilty'.

Count Quagan seemed to find this scene very interesting, and took a few pictures of the street scene below with his network terminal.

The source of this video is the surveillance video outside the street, and it does not capture the indoor panorama.

Then, as if he had suddenly seen something, Count Quaegan turned his head and shouted twice, and then smashed the cup in his hand into the far corner.

The two friends next to him, dazed and confused, stepped forward and asked what was wrong with Earl Quegan.

Count Quagan pushed away the two men in front of him, rushed to the rear as if fleeing for his life, and entered the safety elevator in a panic.

More than a dozen strong, fat guards armed with 'limited power' laser pistols loyally guarded Count Quegan's side, but they could only hear the Earl's heavy gasps and incessant roars.

The video feed is transformed into a surveillance perspective in the building, and the whole process is seamless.

Count Quagan rushed out into the street, as if trying to escape something by the dense crowd ahead; The guards followed the Earl's orders and forcibly separated the crowd, causing complaints from the surrounding people.

In this incident, the most bizarre scene appeared:

Count Quegan's legs suddenly went limp, and he was held up by the guards around him before he fell. Then, as if enraged, the Earl scolded the demonstrators around him.

"You pariahs!"

"Don't come here!"

"You can't die well! I'm a nobleman! I'm the Earl! Get away from me! ”

The crowd surrounded fiercely.

A hand-to-hand fight on the street is passionately staged

In the face of a large number of people, the guards did not dare to shoot even if they took out their laser pistols.

The chaos lasted less than half a minute, accompanied by a woman's scream, and Earl Kuigan, who had been slapped several times around him, lay motionless on the ground.

After being sent to the hospital for rescue, he died of ineffectiveness.

……

"There's a problem."

Yang Wei pushed his glasses that didn't exist.

Lil's voice came out of the hidden headphones:

"It's not just that there are problems, it should be said that there are too many problems, but there is an inexplicable convincingness."

"Judging by this situation, Earl Quegan may have been tampered with, and he suddenly lost control and acted in extreme panic, possibly taking psychotropic drugs."

Yang Wei analyzed seriously:

"I didn't look at every detail of the video, but I noticed when Count Quaegan was beaten up with his guards.

"The guards dutifully protected Count Quaegan behind him, and Count Quaegan took two or three blows that were not too serious, which should not have killed anyone.

"There are too many flaws, and this is obviously how someone designed to kill him."

"Yes boss," Ritsu smiled, "I found the records of that hospital, and the diagnosis records in them showed signs of being modified, and the initial diagnosis was toxin death and rapid brain atrophy, but the report sent to the local security team was changed to a nervous stress response caused by an intracranial shock, and in the end the neuronal necrosis ratio was too high to be successfully rescued." ”

"Shoddy homicide."

Yang Wei made a final statement.

"But boss, the impact of this murder case is very bad for the empire, especially at this juncture. ”

"You think the CIA did it? Or did some other force do it? ”

"Uh, I feel...... Looks like we're doing it......"

"What the hell?"

"It's a perfect timing, boss," Ritsu exclaimed, "you see, we first used your influence and the arrogance in the bones of the Sherman family to create two steps: a public opinion war and a parade, and then ...... Isn't it just right and natural to create a panic incident that pits the aristocracy and the commoners? ”

Yang Wei wondered, "You did it?" ”

"No, boss, I'm just emotional."

Ritsu returns to normalcy in one second:

"What interests me more is not the neurotoxin, but the speed of the event.

"Apparently, someone created a very inflammatory rumor that a hereditary count of the empire was beaten to death by a random punch by the marchers, unleashing panic on the aristocracy, and then spreading this rumor with great speed, and in the shortest possible time, spreading to all corners of the empire portals and social networks.

"This kind of efficiency is about the same as mine."

Yang Wei leaned back: "You mean, this may be done by reason?" ”

"It's very likely, boss," Ritsu said softly, "otherwise I can't explain why this incident can spread so fast, our resources have not been mobilized, and there is no movement on the CIA's side, if it is to use the method of elimination, it can only be reasoned, boss." ”

Yang Wei frowned and thought.

The door on the side was suddenly pulled open, and the shielding light film around Yang Wei dissipated at the same time.

Devonie's face was pale, her breathing was heavy, and she stared at Yang Wei with a pair of tired eyes: "Something happened again, Hanton." ”

"What's the matter?"

"An earl was beaten to death by the marcher!"

Yang Wei nodded calmly.

This eldest sister, the news is too late.

……

The vehicle of human social history occasionally has catastrophic consequences due to the loosening of a screw.

It's like this case of the murder of Earl Quegan.

When future generations study the impact of this murder case, they can't help but sigh and admire.

Just over ten minutes after Count Quegan's death, the scene of him being beaten by the marchers on the street appeared in all corners of the great unification network in the empire.

For a time, the aristocracy was excited.

In many places within the Imperial Star Circle, there were exclusive parades of the aristocracy.

Hundreds of nobles of the empire immediately mobilized a large number of private soldiers and asked the local governors to quell the local riots as soon as possible.

intensification of contradictions;

The conflict escalated.

The originally peaceful march suddenly seemed to have changed its flavor, and the head-on collision between the security forces and the marchers intensified.

On the Internet, some people pointed out that the real reason for Count Quegan's death has little to do with the civilian beating, and there are many anomalies about Count Quegan.

But this argument was immediately besieged by the aristocracy.

This is a defense for the mob! ’

These civilians are protecting the commoners, and their aim is to overthrow the Empire, to establish a so-called democracy, and to take away everything we have. ’

'Unite! The nobles of the empire unite! Our nobility was bought by our ancestors with blood and sweat! ’

Arguments like these quickly filled the entire network.

Before the Imperial authorities could respond, the fire was already on fire.

The nobles ordered their private soldiers to shoot at the people to demonstrate, the nobles' private soldiers acted as security forces to forcibly disperse the procession, and the nobles used small ships to release tear gas on the marchers......

New casualties have emerged.

If it is said that the previous public opinion war and the subsequent dispute between the White Ghost and the Sherman family belong to a slow simmer;

The scene that is happening now is absolutely fierce.

The conflict intensified.

The aristocracy and the plebeians quickly began to fight.

The streets of the Empire's prosperous cities became smoky, repression became more frequent, and popular revolts intensified.

At this time, the official rushed to the front-line battlefield in a timely manner.

However, they might as well not be played.

The Imperial Authorities, that is, the Imperial Government Affairs Department and the Yahasing Local Security Department, issued a joint proclamation, announcing that all the people who had participated in the siege of Count Kuigan would be arrested, and the people who appeared on the street at that time needed to actively cooperate with the work of the sheriff.

The official empire had a clear side and chose to support the aristocracy.

As soon as this news came out, the network in the empire nearly collapsed.

More and more people are flocking to the online world.

What started as a 'Support the Heroes of the Empire' parade has also become a 'Protect the Brave' parade.

Driven by an unknown force behind it, the voices of the people are highly unanimous - to protect those compatriots who beat up Earl Quegan, and to put the imperial nobles under full supervision.

The nobles did not believe in the official and muddy system at all, and after they clearly felt the existential crisis, they quickly began to huddle together to keep warm, and demanded that the empire deal with those 'assassins' strictly to maintain the dignity of the imperial nobles.

snapped, and soon, Yang Wei, the absolute protagonist in the past twenty-four hours, instantly became a supporting role in the world of public opinion.

The big thunder of the relationship between nobles and commoners within the empire, because of the death of Count Quegan, has a tendency to completely explode.
