Time always flies, but it is slow.

In Qin Mo's eyes, he was just basking in the sun for two days.

However, for Xia Xuan, it is not so simple.

The investigation of the Security Bureau has lasted for two and a half days, and the entire Xia Manor has almost been turned upside down, and the security department has not spared every corner of the ancient castle, which can be said to be three feet away from digging into the ground.

Xia Xuan saw all this, he followed Xia Zu's orders, did not take any measures to resist, and let him do whatever he wanted.

Of course, he was not at all worried about what the Security Service would find, and all the evidence had indeed been destroyed long ago.

But Xia Xuan's current mood is not as good as he imagined, and he always has an ominous premonition.

This premonition seems to be in the dark, for no reason at all, and it is not clear, and it may be more appropriate to call it intuition.

As a ninth-order S-class awakener, Xia Xuan has always trusted his instincts.

Especially after making some secret observations of Qin Mo and Li Tiangang, that ominous intuition became stronger and stronger.

"For two and a half days, I didn't do anything, just lay on the lawn and bask in the sun......

Xia Xuan thought of this in his heart, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of doubts.

One thing to say, he couldn't understand Qin Mo's strange operation.

Moreover, the same is true for the Security Service, which seems to be searching for the sake of searching, without any purpose, as if they are completing the task mechanically.

It seems that Qin Mo and the others didn't expect to find any clues from the Xia Manor in the first place.

So, here's the problem.

In that case, why should the five families bother to work so hard?

Xia Xuan still couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out what the confidence of the five families was.

You must know that the Gaoling Xia clan has its back to the royal family, holding a rather thick thigh, and if you want to bring them down, even if it is the five families, it is not so simple, you must come up with ironclad evidence.

But what is the ironclad evidence?

Xia Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was meditating hard in his heart.

At times like these, he needs someone to guide him.

If it was usual, Xia Xuan would have dialed Xia Zu's private number, or met Xia Zu directly.

But now he didn't dare to make any abnormal moves, he could clearly sense that someone was staring at him.

This sense of watching is extremely weak, and it appears and disappears from time to time.

If it weren't for Xia Xuan's strength, he probably wouldn't have found out at all, and maybe he had already exposed some secret things.

Fortunately, he has never been inconspicuous, and he has hardly made a personal move in the imperial capital for decades, and he has never exposed his true strength.

Outsiders only know that he is a ninth-order S-class awakened person, but they don't know that he is not an ordinary ninth-order.

As early as eight years ago, Xia Xuan had already touched the threshold of the advanced Heavenly King and became an S-level peak awakener.

Now, eight years later, however, it is unknown how far he has traveled on that threshold.

Xia Xuan stood on the windowsill on the third floor of the castle, his already small eyes were a little smaller because they were narrowed, and he looked at Qin Mo and the others lying in the sun on the lawn in the distance from the corner of his eye, and all kinds of thoughts kept flashing in his heart.

As a third-order S-rank, Qin Mo would definitely not be able to possess such a powerful means of snooping.

Then, only the tall middle-aged man lying next to him remained.

"At least this person is like me, he has already touched the threshold of the Heavenly King, which is interesting......

Xia Xuan thought so in his heart, his eyes were obscure, and his expression was difficult to understand.

Then he withdrew his gaze and turned towards the interior of the castle.

But the looming sense of prying over him still hasn't disappeared......

On the lawn, Qin Mo pillowed his hands behind his head, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, and a surging smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.

All of Xia Xuan's actions, he saw them all clearly in his mind.

The holographic vision has covered the entire Xia manor, and a detailed three-dimensional model has been built in the super brain, which analyzes and processes massive amounts of information all the time.

The sense of watching that Xia Xuan felt really came from him, and Li Tiangang was too lazy to do these things.

However, Qin Mo's vision was actually restricted.

He couldn't see any part of the castle, nor could he hear any of it, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him.

This feeling was almost exactly the same as the feeling that Qin Mo had felt when he released his hearing to explore the entire imperial capital a few times before.

He couldn't detect the ancient halls of the royal forbidden area, nor could he explore the manor castles of the five great families, these ancient buildings seemed to have some kind of indescribable magic, and they were extraordinary.

And Qin Mo was very sure that it must be an ancient building with a history of hundreds of years that was in effect.

In the past two days, when he had nothing to do, he also entered the interior of the castle for a detailed investigation, and clearly found that this castle had a large number of traces of modern technology.

In other words, Xia's Castle is not an intact ancient building, but a dilapidated castle that has undergone later renovation to have its current appearance.

All the renovations, his perception is unimpeded, but the original building itself, but not.

This is why Xia Xuan felt that the prying eyes that shrouded him would appear and disappear from time to time.

He subconsciously thought that Li Tiangang was deliberately doing this to cover up his tracks, so he kept cautious and didn't dare to contact him at all.

As everyone knows, Xia Xuan thinks too much.

He was directly suppressed by Qin Mo's powerful watch!

If this is said, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

But that's just the way it is.

Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Mo's face became more and more intense, and the corners of his mouth rose even higher.

"In terms of time, the Li family should have done it."

Qin Mo thought so in his heart, and he was in an extremely good mood.

Then, he shifted his body to a more comfortable lying position, continuing to absorb the sun's energy.

It's half past two in the afternoon, and the sun is just right.

……

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Just when Qin Mo was smiling at the corner of his mouth, the dignitaries of the various departments in the imperial capital couldn't smile at all, and their hearts were full of bitterness.

And there is only one reason why they show such a posture.

That's ...... The Imperial Council has been convened again!

In just one week, this is the third time it has been held, and everyone is about to go numb.

But they have nothing to do but endure and the rest is to endure.

The royal family and the five families, which one can they afford to provoke?

So, in such a situation, black cars poured into the royal forbidden area from all sides of the imperial capital again, and came to the front of the ancient hall.

At the same time, more than twenty S-class awakened people scattered by the five major families in the imperial capital appeared around the security bureau, secretly hiding their figures.

On the next floor of the bureau, there was a bang, and the iron door of the cell was pushed open.

Li Yi had a cold face, quietly staring at Xia Dongfang, who was not human-looking and had an extremely depressed breath, and said:

"It's time, it's time to go."

When the words landed, he strode forward, lifted Xia Dongfang's shoulder, and dragged him out.

Xia Mei in the opposite cell was the same, but she was treated much better.

In this way, the two wore handcuffs made of secret mines, walked with Li Yi to the square outside the Security Bureau, and then were rudely stuffed into an armed off-road vehicle.

As soon as Xia Mei got into the car, she blinked her eyes and looked around, and a strange color flashed in the depths of her eyes.

But at this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the empty car.

"Sit down, don't look around."

This is Li Ming's voice, he is one of the guards of this transporter's certificate.

Xia Mei was startled by this sudden voice, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and sat down as she said.

"Waiting for the meeting to get to the place, say whatever you need to say, don't hide it, and you don't need to add oil and vinegar, just explain it truthfully, whether your life can live or not, it depends on you, I shouldn't need to say more." Li Ming continued.

Hearing this, Xia Mei's eyes kept flickering, and she nodded slowly.

"yes, I know."

"Let's go, then."

Li Ming's voice landed, and Li Yi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, immediately turned on the engine, and with a roar, the car slowly set off towards the royal forbidden area.

And at the moment when the off-road vehicle left the gate of the Security Bureau, the S-class awakened people arranged by the five families around also appeared at the same time, accompanying the guards on both sides.

There is only one thing they have to do, to ensure that the identity card reaches the royal restricted area safely, and there is no room for error.

And so on, a quarter of an hour later.

The Imperial Council held in the Imperial Restricted Area has officially begun.

Today's initiator is the current head of the Changping Liu family, Liu Guogong of Great Qin.

In the main hall, on the long table, there was a deathly silence.

The eyes of the four great princes all looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting upright, and there seemed to be a surging sense of oppression in them.

After a short silence, Liu Guogong pursed his lips lightly, and then slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty, the investigation team has been working day and night, and finally found out something, and we actually looked away at the Gaoling Xia clan."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

A rare sickly flush appeared on King Qin's pale face, and a strange color flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Guogong glanced at the person at the end of the long table, and the person suddenly understood, took out the prepared documents in advance, and handed them over with both hands.

The document was nothing else, but there was all kinds of incriminating evidence about the Gaoling Xia clan, including how they collaborated with the enemy and treason, and how they assassinated the imperial capital......

All in all, it is extremely well written, and it can be seen that it is very well prepared.

King Qin opened it and glanced at it casually, and then threw it on the table.

After reading it, he still had a surging smile on his face, and it seemed that his mentality had not been affected at all.

"If there are only these things, I'm afraid you can't draw conclusions so easily, what does Liu Guogong think?" King Qin turned his head to face him and asked softly.

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Fifth, since everyone has done this step, they must be absolutely sure, and there is no need to listen to the testimony of the witnesses who will be present, and it is already possible to predict what it will be.

Thinking of this, the silence in the hall became more and more silent.

However, there was still no change in the expression on King Qin's face, and there was still a surging smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's as if everything is under his control, and there is a cloud of light wind on his body.

Looking at Xia Mei at the entrance of the hall, King Qin did not speak immediately for a while.

He paused for about five seconds.

Five seconds later, I heard King Qin say slowly, "Although there are witnesses present, the specific situation still needs to be carefully investigated.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason, this is a serious crime, according to the laws of the Great Qin, to sit in a row the whole clan, it is a matter of thousands of lives, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, and my Great Qin Empire must not have a false mistake of wronging the heroes.

Moreover, the border war is tight, and the champion Hou is still fighting in command, doing his best to regain the lost territory for my Great Qin, if the Gaoling Xia clan really collaborates with the enemy and treason, what should the border commander do?

Changing the commander on the spot, this is a big taboo, presumably a few princes will not know about it, right?"

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable and well-founded, and the matter of the Gaoling Xia clan really needs to be investigated carefully."

Before King Qin's words landed, Liu Guogong, who had spoken before, immediately answered again, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words.

"However, precisely because the stakes are high, measures must be taken against the Xia clan, and they must not be allowed to act arbitrarily."

"Well, the Gaoling Xia clan should indeed be controlled first." Fang Guogong suddenly interjected.

Seeing this, Chu Xiong, who was sitting on the side, knocked on the table and said:

"In that case, then the Security Bureau will arrest you on the spot, and the battle on the border will be discussed later, and you must first settle the inside before you go outside, what does Your Majesty think?"

In just a few words, the arrest of Xia was decided so easily, and no one objected.

The same is true of King Qin, in the face of the joint pressure of the five major families, he needs to make certain concessions, as well as necessary compromises.

Subsequently, the court council officially ended.

King Qin took one last glance at Xia Mei who was standing at the door of the main hall, and then got up and left first.

After he had gone, the crowd left their seats in turn and walked out of the main hall.

Xia Mei and Xia Dongfang showed their faces when they came here, forcing the royal family to make concessions, and then they were taken back to the Security Bureau by Li Ming again to continue to be detained.

The next time they play their role will be in the trial court specially set up for Xia Zu.

As for the fact that the two of them are still alive today, there is no need to worry about it.

Because, everyone in the Gaoling Xia clan except Xia Zu will gather in the cell this evening, and no one will be allowed to escape.

The dim sunlight slanted on the face of Chu Xiong, who had just walked out of the main hall, and ilpartially shone on the two thick eyebrows.

Chu Xiong stopped, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, flipped out a phone number that had just been entered not long ago, and then pressed the dial-through button, and the electronic synthesis sound of the machinery sounded.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Qin Mo's voice came from the other side.

Chu Xiong didn't say a word of nonsense, he said directly:

"It's time to do it."
