Following.

The sky was bright.

Qin Mo got up on time, washed up and went straight to the Security Bureau.

He still followed the previous self-discipline biological clock, and entered the deputy director's exclusive office at nine o'clock, not one minute earlier, not one second late.

Subsequently, Qin Mo officially started his daily fishing time.

He packed up his desk, turned on his computer, and entered the homepage of the websites of major news outlets.

After a general browsing, the corners of Qin Mo's mouth slowly curled up into a surging smile.

Today's red headlines are very different from yesterday.

The news on the border was squeezed down by almost half, and the rest was all about the Gaoling Xia clan.

Of course, these reports are all negative, and the direction of public opinion is very unfavorable to Xia at present.

"It has to be five big families, and in just one day, public opinion can be pushed to such an extent."

Qin Mo sighed with emotion and slowly shook his head.

He doesn't know how much of the exchange of interests is involved, and he doesn't know how many of these media are behind the scenes, and these things have nothing to do with him.

Qin Mo only cared about his own purpose, whether he was steadily advancing.

The only thing he has to do at this stage is to completely overthrow the Gaoling Xia clan and knock Xia Zu into a place of no return.

You must know that although the Huangquan operation has reached the final stage, it is far from over.

But looking at the current situation, he still recognizes the efficiency of the five major companies.

Public opinion continues to ferment, and there have been many discussions among the people of various counties of the Great Qin Empire.

Judging from the number of clicks and readings of these red reports, as well as the number of searches of Gaoling Xia, it is enough to see this.

And that's just the beginning.

The data on all fronts is still showing an upward trend, faintly outpacing the attention to the border.

After all, there is a big figure in the Gaoling Xia clan with a high degree of publicity, whether it is the prince of Qin who was crowned the champion some time ago, or the Xia clan's initiative to build public opinion a few days ago, Xia Zu was pushed to the spotlight.

Not to mention, Xia Zu is still the commander of Great Qin in this border war, and the problems he has will naturally attract everyone's attention.

It's just that the Gaoling Xia clan probably didn't expect that everything they did would become the public opinion of the five major families at this time, and successfully made Xia Zu stand on the cusp in just one day.

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Mo's face became more and more intense.

Then, he quietly let go of his hearing, covering a radius of ten miles almost instantly.

All kinds of noisy sounds poured into Qin Mo's ears, and after the analysis, calculation, and processing of the super brain, the useless voices were quickly eliminated, leaving only the voices of people talking.

And in these massive conversations, eighty percent of them are talking about various black materials of the Gaoling Xia clan.

For example, how a core disciple of the Xia clan was corrupt and took bribes, or there was a disciple with a very high status and great power who outsourced a few women, and so on.

These things are not big, but they are indeed not small, and the main impact is Xia's reputation in the minds of the people, gradually weakening the favorability they have built up with great difficulty.

Public opinion needs to be like this, slowly moving forward step by step, and the main thing is a subtle and silent moisturizer.

This is clear from the reactions of the people.

Everyone's attitude was surprisingly consistent at the beginning, and their minds were full of incredulity, and they couldn't imagine that these things would be done by the people of the Gaoling Xia clan.

But when they saw the evidence published in the report, their hearts were shaken, and their attitudes gradually began to change......

"I used to think that Xia's was good, and I have always supported it, but who would have thought that it would be such a human-faced beast, phew! I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart. ”

"Aren't all those families the same? Where is there anything good in the Maison? I already knew that Xia would be like this, hehe! ”

……

It was a conversation between two waiters at a café seven miles away from the Security Service.

And conversations like this happen in many places.

Listening to these discussions, the smile that appeared on Qin Mo's face became more and more intense.

"This is the power of public opinion, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat, the old saying is honest and does not deceive me."

Qin Mo shook his head slowly and said.

……

……

Meanwhile.

On the other side, in the royal forbidden area, a court council initiated by the Chu clan in Zhenbei is being held.

The core leaders of the major important departments of the imperial capital all came to the ancient hall at this time, sitting quietly in the middle and back of the long table, their eyes looking at the first place in unison.

King Qin was still the same sickly look, his body was thin, his face was extremely pale, and there was a surging smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, his body still exudes a surging imperial aura, which is the respect rooted in the ancient bloodline.

On his left and right flanks sat the contemporary heads of the four thousand-year-old families.

Li Mou was absent from this council today because he was still recuperating from his injuries in Qingyang County, and his chair was empty.

But the five families have reached a high degree of agreement in the attitude towards the Gaoling Xia clan, and the Li clan is actually the same whether he is present or not, there is no difference.

Subsequently, after everyone saluted King Qin, the court council was officially started.

But for a moment, no one spoke, and the empty hall instantly fell into a deathly silence, almost audible as if a pin had dropped.

The four princes each exchanged a vague look, Chu Xiong nodded imperceptibly, and then he took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence on the long table.

Chu Xiong is the initiator of today's court council, and the topic should be thrown by him, so I just listened to him say slowly:

"Your Majesty, my duke recently discovered that the imperial capital is much more lively than before."

"Oh? What did Chu Guogong say? King Qin moved his gaze to him and asked with a smile.

Chu Xiong paused slightly, and then said bluntly: "In the past two days, there have been a lot of rumors and rumors in the imperial capital, all of which are negative news about the Gaoling Xia clan.

There is a lot of discussion among the people, and there is a tendency to intensify, the Xia family, as the top family of my Great Qin Empire, should be an example for the people, but I never thought that there would be such a comment.

If this continues for a long time, I am afraid it will damage my reputation as Great Qin. ”

"That, what does the Duke of Chu mean ......"

The smile on King Qin's face did not diminish in the slightest, as if the Gaoling Xia clan had nothing to do with him, he was like a bystander.

Hearing such a question, Chu Xiong frowned at the two thick eyebrows on his forehead and replied:

"This father thinks that I should send a few people to the Xia clan to investigate, so that I can give an explanation to the people of Daqin."

Hiss!

As soon as Chu Xiong's words landed, everyone sitting around the long table suddenly gasped in their hearts, and the hall fell into a strange silence again, and the atmosphere was very delicate.

Those who can sit here are all high-ranking officials from various important departments and have a very high status.

They may be a little low in the level of the Awakened and cannot be on the stage, but when it comes to this sense of smell of the situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is comparable to that of the Heavenly King.

5. What do you want to do, how can a discerning person not see it?

The Zhenbei Chu clan opened his mouth to check the Xia clan, which was almost a clear indication of his attitude.

The game between the top families seems to have started quietly.

It was a war without gunpowder, but the dead ...... I'm afraid it's indispensable.

Everyone was extremely frightened and did not dare to interject rashly and stand in line.

And after a short silence, King Qin smiled and tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, attracting everyone's attention.

His gaze slowly swept over each of his cheeks, and the depths of his eyes flickered slightly, as if there was a deep meaning contained in them.

Then, King Qin smiled and said, "What about the other princes? What do you think about this? ”

"This prince thinks that the Duke of Chu is reasonable." Fang Guogong was the first to reply.

"Well, it's time to look it up." This is the voice of Changping Liu.

"That's what my father thinks." Far Eastern Lin spoke slowly.

Listening to the statements of these three families, the smile on King Qin's face became more and more intense, and he did not extend down on this topic, but mentioned the border matter.

"Nowadays, the border war is still ongoing, the two sides are fighting in full swing, they are very anxious, the Qi people have always been brave and fierce, the offensive is more and more fierce, and the champion Hou Zhen is exhausted and is fighting for my Daqin.

And it was at this time that by coincidence, there was unfavorable news about the Gaoling Xia clan in the imperial capital......

Ladies and gentlemen, beware of the schemes of the people. ”

When King Qin said this, he was clearly using Qi people as a shield and rejected Chu Xiong's proposal.

However, just as his words landed, Chu Xiong immediately spoke:

"Your Majesty said so, then it is even more necessary to check the Xia family, and if you don't check it, it is not enough to prove the innocence of the Xia family."

"It's not appropriate for the Duke of the Kingdom to say this."

King Qin smiled and said, "Sending someone to the Xia clan to investigate, this move itself represents distrust, and it is easier to chill the heroes of Great Qin."

As the saying goes, those who are clean are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, so why bother to do more? What do you think? ”

For the third time, there was an eerie silence in the hall, and no one around the long table dared to speak at this time, and everyone's eyes were wandering, and they bowed their heads slightly.

Only the current Guogong of the Yan Nannan clan moved his lips and said slowly:

"Your Majesty."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other three answered as if they had discussed it.

The rest of the people at the long table were stunned, they didn't understand what the hell the five families were doing, they thought that what would be a dangerous confrontation next, but who knows......

That's the end of it?!

Should I say it or not, this wave of operations really didn't understand it at all.

But no one would stand up to explain their doubts, and everyone had to end the court council in this confusion and get up from the main hall to leave.

The people of the five families walked at the forefront, and several princes exchanged glances again, and there were surging smiles in the depths of their eyes.

They are quite satisfied with today's parliamentary results.

Although it is said that he was not able to investigate the Xia family, it has nothing to do with it at all.

If you don't investigate, you don't investigate, it doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, the royal family can't let go easily, and the purpose of the five families from the beginning was not on this.

They are mainly for pressure, and today's parliament is only the first round of pressure, and there will still be follow-ups.

Now that the royal family knows their attitude, the next thing to consider is the continued exchange of interests, while slowly waiting for public opinion to ferment.

Many things take a certain amount of time to complete.

This is the case with the Gaoling Xia clan, and the same is true for the five families, as for Qin Mo......

The same is true.

And just like that, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

The dim surging sunlight silently passed through the open floor-to-ceiling window and hit Qin Mo's cheek mercilessly.

A surging warm current emerged from his chest very abruptly, but Qin Mo had long been used to it.

He didn't react in the slightest, his eyes focused on what was in front of him, and he opened the Gene Awakening panel.

Vision: 206

Listening: 200

Intelligence: 201

Respiration: 200

Power: 206

Speed: 205

Recovery: 200

Defense: 204

Light energy points: 38 (freely assignable)

Today's accumulated light energy points hit a record high, and the corners of Qin Mo's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a bright smile.

He still follows the previous distribution plan and tries his best to maintain all-round balanced development.

In addition to the highest attribute, vision and strength are each increased by 4 points, the other six attributes are each allocated 5 points, and the huge warm current starts from his chest and quickly escapes to his body.

"Breath: 205, Skill: Super Breath Enhancement."

Larger warm currents flow into the lungs and their surrounding areas, and the scorching energy of the sun is injected into every cell.

Qin Mo's super lungs began to strengthen inch by inch, possessing even more terrifying energy, which could blow out extremely cold air with a lower temperature, as well as hurricanes with a larger exhalation range and greater power.

The amplitude of this enhancement is doubled on the basis of the original, which means that Qin Mo can now easily freeze to death a seventh-order S-class awakened person.

As for the destructive power of hurricanes, it is needless to say that they are no less than exhaling ice.

Thinking of this, Qin Mo's heart became more and more joyful, and while he got up from the chair, he exhaled a long breath of white air, and the temperature in the office suddenly dropped by four or five degrees.

Li Tiangang, who had been lying in the corner playing with his mobile phone, raised his head reluctantly, raised his eyebrows, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The change in the temperature around him had aroused his keen perception.

But Li Tiangang soon discovered that this sudden genetic fluctuation came from Qin Mo, and he suddenly became excited, and muttered in a low voice:

"I thought I could loosen my muscles, but it wasn't fun."

After saying that, Li Tiangang stood up lazily, walked to Qin Mo's side, frowned and asked, "What were you kid doing just now?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a small experiment."

Qin Mo shook his head with a smile, hiding the real reason.

Li Tiangang could see that he wasn't telling the truth, but it was normal for a peerless genius like Qin Mo to hide something.

Therefore, he did not continue to ask the bottom of the matter, but asked, "What are you having for dinner today?" ”

"I said, it's only five o'clock, and you're already going to eat???"

"Less nonsense, eat well early, get down to business early." Li Tiangang said impatiently.

"Huh? What's the matter? Qin Mo said blankly.

"Boy, you're pretending to be stupid here, aren't you? Don't worry, you don't need to pay for the big health care tonight, Lao Tzu is not short of these three melons and two dates. ”

Li Tiangang put on a look of being angry, rolled his eyes at Qin Mo, and turned straight to walk out.

"Ahem......"

Qin Mo coughed lightly, and the confusion between Shicai's eyebrows and eyes was blank, where could he still see half of this?

I saw him quickly clean up his desk, and then quickly followed.

The two of them took the elevator all the way down to the first floor of the Security Bureau, and after getting into Li Tiangang's sports car in the underground parking lot, they drove to Lingyun District with a puff of smoke.

In less than ten minutes, Qin Mo appeared at the barbecue stall he frequented.

The smoke from the charcoal roasted gently swept the cheeks of the two along the summer evening breeze, and broke into the nasal cavity unreasonably, showing them the truest appearance of the imperial capital.

This is the fireworks in the world.

Qin Mo likes this kind of life very much......

Subsequently, various varieties of meat skewers were quickly served to the table by the boss.

Qin Mo chatted with Li Tiangang while skewering.

But about half an hour later, a group of young people dressed in uniform suddenly appeared at the corner of the roadside in front of them, including men and women, a total of more than 30 people.

This group of more than thirty people walked forward along the side of the road, and did not stop until they walked fifty meters away from Qin Mo.

They then quickly scattered and handed out the leaflets they were carrying.

It's almost six o'clock now, and it's about to be the evening rush hour after work, and the flow of people is very large during the day.

As a result, the leaflets of the group dispersed quickly, and within a few minutes their hands were empty.

Looking at their behavior like this, Qin Mo suddenly became curious in his heart.

He looked closely, and saw that all of what was written on those leaflets was negative news about the Gaoling Xia clan published in the report, densely packed, illustrated and illustrated, obviously carefully designed.

And the uniform clothes on these people also made Qin Mo recognize their identities.

The gold badge on the cuff bears four small letters: Imperial Capital University.

This is a group of college students, and what they are going to do seems to be......

Qin Mo's curiosity became more and more intense, and he continued to look over.

I saw a woman with a good figure in a high ponytail, stepping on the pair of small black round-toed leather shoes on her feet, and walked in front of everyone.

She cleared her throat, held the leaflet in her hand high, and shouted to the crowd around her:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't continue to be deceived!"

The crisp and powerful voice fell straight to the ground, and the crowd around him quickly gathered.

It is human nature to eat melons and watch the excitement, and this thing is almost engraved in the bones, and it can't be changed at all.

When the people were almost there, the woman with the high ponytail looked around, and then gave a brief introduction to herself, saying that they were students of the journalism department of Imperial Capital University.

Immediately after, she began her sonorous and powerful performance.

"Presumably, everyone has paid attention to a lot of negative reports about the Gaoling Xia clan recently, and the content of these reports is really chilling and even more heart-wrenching.

At first, I didn't believe it, as a journalism student, I subconsciously thought that this was an unsubstantiated report, and it was a smear against Xia by the rest of the family.

Believe me, there is more than a 60% chance that the family will do such a dirty thing. ”

After the girl with a high ponytail said that, she paused slightly, giving the melon-eating crowd who did not know the truth enough time to react.

After seeing the vast majority of people nodding their heads, she continued to say righteously:

"However, I was wrong this time, I was blinded by the Xia clan, and I never thought that the Gaoling Xia clan would be worse than I imagined!

Not long ago, the Morning Bell train was attacked by the Qi State, and not only the Guogong of our Great Qin Empire was attacked, but more than a thousand innocent lives were completely lost.

I am very sad about such a thing, but I also want to find out the truth hidden in it.

The attack on the Morning Bell high-speed train has another hidden secret! ”

Word by word, to the point.

Her tone was infectious, as if it was really what she said it was.

And the crowd around who heard her words was like ants exploding a pot, and there was a lot of noise and discussion in an instant.

The incident of the Morning Bell can be said to be the fuse of this border war between Qin and Qi!

The people of the Great Qin Empire paid no less attention to this matter than other hot spots.

And now, the top student in front of her, who claims to be from the News Department of Imperial Capital University, first mentioned Gaoling Xia's clan and then mentioned the morning bell, what does she want to say?

Is there a ...... between the two? Somehow connected?

No one knows.

But this high-tailed female student threw out a topic, but she didn't give an answer.

She saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and directly turned to ask loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiuyuan County is the hinterland of my Great Qin, and it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the border between the two countries, how did the Qi people sneak into the hinterland quietly?

Could it be that the border defense line of my Great Qin Empire is useless?

Could it be that the champion Hou has been guarding the border for many years, and the Qi people dare not take a single step, is this all an illusion?

Who is it in my Great Qin Empire that has provided convenience to the Qi people? And who has two hearts for the Empire?

……

……”

This series of questions, like a series of cannons, did not give everyone time to react at all, and directly hit their heads.

This "passionate speech" that happened on the street has completely grasped people's psychology, and everything is under the control of the girl with a high ponytail.

Qin Mo's eyes flickered, a different color flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he secretly boasted in his heart.

"Good acting!"

Then, he instantly magnified his hearing range by a hundred times, and all the sounds within a radius of dozens of miles poured into his mind in unison, and the super brain quickly began to analyze and process it.

A few seconds later, the data calculation was completed, and at the same time, many streets in the imperial capital were filled with passionate speeches like the one in front of them.

As for the content of the statement, although there are differences, they are all very different.

The previous conjecture in Qin Mo's heart was confirmed at this moment.

He had thought something was wrong with the girl with a high ponytail at first, but now it seems ......

She really is a member of the Five Great Families.

The five families are continuing to guide public opinion, pushing Xia's to the forefront completely, and this speed is really fast.

How much influence the ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years has in this huge empire can be seen from this small detail.

Seeing that more and more people were gathered around the girl with a high ponytail, Qin Mo retracted his gaze, slowly shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"A professional household deserves to be a professional household."
