Martial Arts Song

Chapter 327 Revealed
"Extra! Extra! The Ryuying Sword Master is despicable and bullies the weak. Our country's master avenges his disciple!"

"Extra! Extra! Our national prestige and reason are here! Our country's masters can no longer tolerate this, there is no need to tolerate it any longer!"

Different hawking voices are shouted on the streets of different districts, but they all announce the same thing.

In the restaurants and hotels where the quarrel had originally taken place, people were stunned when they heard the hawking sounds.

"The content of this special edition seems to be a follow-up to the morning news?"

"It sounds like that, and judging from the title, it seems to be talking about the real reason why our country's masters killed that Ryusakura Sword Master in the street..."

"Since this is a sequel, there's no need to argue. Just buy it and read it, and you'll know the truth, right?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests who were originally arguing nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, a large number of diners waved to the newsagents outside on the street, bought several copies of the newspaper and passed them around in restaurants and hotels.

Because the special editions are basically short texts, people can read the contents quickly.

After reading the contents of the extra edition, those who thought that Ryujin deserved it stood up immediately! Pointing at those who were arguing with them, they scolded them like a grandson:
"Open your eyes and take a good look! This is what you call cruel! The truth is that the damn swordsman Ueizumi Shizue was resentful and started the fight first, chopping off one of the disciple's hands! That's why I went to the street to seek revenge on that damn swordsman! Who is cruel and who lost his martial ethics first?!"

"You actually sympathize with these despicable Ryuo people! Are you still Chinese?!"

Most of those who originally thought it was excessive just felt ashamed and had no face to refute when scolded.

Some people also followed suit and started to curse:
"These Ryuuko people are really too much! They set up the arena but they can't afford to lose! They even cut off someone's hand in revenge! These beasts are worse than pigs and dogs!"

"The Ryuujin people really don't deserve sympathy. They are so shameless!"

Some people also raised doubts:
"Is the content of this newspaper true or false? Is it made up by someone?"

"Yes, we need to look at this matter rationally and not act impulsively."

However, these doubts immediately aroused dissatisfaction among those who felt that the Ryuujin people deserved it.

"I have tolerated you guys for a long time! You guys were the first to say something cruel, right? I now seriously doubt whether you are from Central Country!"

"That's right! It's the same newspaper, but you guys changed your tune when the facts were reversed. Why do you always stand on the side of the Ryuujin? Could it be that you are a spy lurking here by the Ryuujin?!"

These words immediately frightened those people who were leading the discussion so much that they dared not say anything else. They quickly changed their tone and started to curse Liuying together.

The atmosphere in restaurants and hotels in various areas of "Huhai" changed with the appearance of this special edition at noon, and the tone became consistent.

……

A black car was driving slowly on the main roads of various districts in Dongcheng, passing through blocks with many restaurants and hotels.

The rear windows of the car were rolled down, and all kinds of noise from the streets on both sides suddenly came into the car.

After a long time, the driver reported again that the car was running out of gas again.

Among the man and woman sitting in the back seat of the car, the younger-looking young man said calmly, "Let's leave it at that for now."

After saying that, he manually rolled up the window on his side.

Next to him, a charming woman in cheongsam also rolled up the window on the other side after seeing this.

When the car window rolled down, the cheongsam woman turned her head to look at the young man and said with a straight face, "Now that it's OK, don't forget what you promised me."

After hearing this, the young man smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."

The man was Chen Qing, and the woman was the "Sister Lan" who met Lin Manli before, that is, Huang Lan.

After going to the base of the "Yun" organization in Gangqiao District and contacting Huang Lan again through Fei Dongtao, Chen Qing asked the other party for help again, mobilized his forces, and found several newspapers that printed the report about Juechen beheading Shangquan Jingji in the street this morning, and asked these newspapers to reissue an "extra" newspaper.

The content of this "extra" newspaper is also very simple. It is in the form of a follow-up to the morning news, telling the story of how Shizuji Kamiizumi first cut off the arm of "Jueying", and then provoked the revenge of his master.

The main point is to rationalize Juechen's killing of Shangquan Jingsi, with a clear cause and effect and a legitimate reason.

Similarly, this "extra edition" newspaper is filled with exaggerated text without any evidence.

This is how Chen Qing responded to the news this morning.

As a time traveler, the world in Chen Qing’s previous life could be described as an era of public opinion because of the existence of the Internet!
Whether it is individuals, capital, or the national level, they are very good at guiding public opinion, and many classic public opinion events have occurred!

Chen Qing simply made use of some of the techniques he had seen before.

The Ryuying party copied his previous tactics and wanted to stir up public opinion and define the matter. He only needed to prevent the incident publicized by the other party from fermenting, supplement the matter in time, and slightly guide it in another direction.

Being right or wrong in this matter are two different things.

Of course, this public opinion cannot actually affect the general direction of the decision between Yangguo and Liuying. It can only prevent Liuying from wanting to determine the matter as soon as possible and delay the other party's next plan.

This is also the only thing Chen Qing can do on a personal level.

"Stop right in front."

After listening to Chen Qing's words, Huang Lan spoke with a stern face to the driver in front.

The driver also obeyed and immediately slowed down the car and slowly stopped at the side of the road.

After the car came to a complete stop, Huang Lan turned to look at Chen Qing and said with a straight face, "No thanks."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled again, then opened the car door and got out.

The reason why he was in the same car with Huang Lan and had the car drive around blocks with many restaurants and hotels was to verify the effectiveness of the "extra" newspaper that was issued.

That's why he opened all the rear windows.

With his [God] value now raised to around 5, he could hear the voices and opinions in restaurants and hotels from the noisy sounds on both sides of the street.

After getting the effect he wanted, he naturally had nothing to be nostalgic about.

However, just as he opened the car door and got out, Huang Lan in the car suddenly spoke again and asked, "Are you an official?"

As a member of the upper circle of the "Huhai" group, Huang Lan's knowledge and experience are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

Although she did not see as far as Chen Qing on this matter due to the backward development of social progress, she vaguely realized something after learning the news in the newspaper in the morning.

Therefore, she could more or less understand the general purpose of the things that Chen Qing asked her to help with.

This made her wonder whether Chen Qing was an official.

In response to her question, Chen Qing just chuckled and asked back, "What do you think?"

Afterwards, he no longer paid attention to the other party, slammed the car door, and walked away, leaving Huang Lan sitting alone in the back seat of the car with a frown on her face.

……

In the afternoon, the public opinion effect of the news in the newspaper continued to ferment.

More and more people learned about the follow-up of the morning news, understood the truth of the matter, and began to curse Ryuying again.

International Settlement, Ryusakura Consulate.

In a Ryusakura-style villa.

The corridor-style wooden house, with rockery, flowing water, green plants and pools, gives the whole courtyard a sense of Zen. Wearing a suit and windbreaker, a cap and a pipe in his mouth, Tengchuan Hisao, led by a woman in a Ryusakura kimono, walked along the wooden floor in front of the corridor wooden house, all the way to the courtyard, and came to a pond.

There are red and golden carps in the pond. Keita Harada, wearing a men's Ryusakura kimono, is standing by the pond with a bowl of bait in his hand. He is throwing the bait into the pond to feed the carps.

"Mr. Harada, Mr. Fujikawa is here."

The Ryuying woman brought Tengchuan Hisao and spoke respectfully.

"Ah."

Harada Keita hummed softly and said, "You can go down."

"Yes."

The Ryuying woman responded and then stepped back.

After the Ryuukaku woman left, Harada Keita turned around, looked at Tengchuan Hisao, and said, "Are you here to say goodbye?"

"Ah."

Tengchuan Hisao nodded and said, "I am no longer needed here. I plan to return to Ryuo. However, before I leave, there is one thing I need to tell you. We followed the method used by Dongcheng last time and publicized Kamiizumi's death in the newspaper, but we were stopped by someone in the same way."

At this point, Tengchuan Hisao couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face, and said, "It should be the person who caused Naoto-kun's disappearance last time. This person is very good at using public opinion. He is a very powerful person."

"Were you stopped?"

After hearing what Tengchuan Hisao said, Harada Keita's expression did not change. He said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Even if it is stopped, it can't change what happens next. It's just the difference between faster and slower. Tengchuan, do you really not want to stay and witness the glory of my Great Ryuo Sakura Empire? This opportunity doesn't come often."

"No."

Tengchuan Hisao shook his head and said, "I had something else to do at Ryuo, and I came here because of your urgent call. Although I didn't help much in the end..."

"Okay, then I won't send you off."

Seeing that Tengchuan Hisao was determined to leave, Keita Harada nodded and said.

"No need to see me off. We've been friends for such a long time. There's no need to be so polite."

Hisao Tengkawa waved his hand, then turned and walked out.

Keita Harada looked at his back with a calm look in his eyes. After he saw Hisao Tengchuan leave, he turned around again and continued to catch bait to feed the carp in the pond in front of him.

……

In the evening, night falls.

The city of "Huhai" fell into the night again. The street lights were lit up, and the billboards and shop signs hanging on the buildings were flashing neon lights.

The streets were once again busy with traffic and people coming and going.

Jiabei District, Yongyuan Road.

A rickshaw slowly drove in and stopped in front of the garden of a bungalow.

After the driver stopped the car, he first glanced at the end of the street, where there was still a house guarded by many patrolmen. Then he turned around and said to the passenger in the car with a smile: "Sir, thank you for the thirty-dollar gift..."

Before he could finish his words, the passenger on the bus had already thrown thirty yuan on the seat and got off.

The driver was stunned when he saw this, but then he quickly put away the money and drove the cart away from the street.

While the driver was collecting the money, the passengers who had gotten off the car had already arrived in front of the iron gate and waved to the bodyguards inside to open the door.

This guest was naturally Chen Qing.

The bodyguards had also seen him and quickly opened the door for him.

Walking into the garden, Chen Qing's first glance was towards the corner of the garden, where Yue Suchun and others usually parked their cars.

When he saw that there was already a car parked there, Chen Qing looked at a bodyguard with a little surprise and asked, "Auntie Yue and the others are here already?"

He was busy responding to news matters in Dongcheng today, and then took a car to "inspect" the results. After all this time, it was almost dusk in the afternoon.

Afterwards, he went home to report that he was safe, changed his clothes, went to Lin Manli to explain everything, and then took a boat to Xicheng.

Although night had fallen at this time, it was actually just past six o'clock. It was just because autumn had arrived that the sky in Huhai got dark earlier than usual.

But in terms of time, he actually arrived earlier than usual.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yue Suchun had already arrived at this time!

Hasn't the Ryuying party launched an attack yet?
Just as these thoughts flashed through his mind, the bodyguard he asked replied respectfully: "Yes, Director Yue and the others have arrived."

After hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and walked straight towards the villa without saying anything.

Soon, he came to the door of the villa, unlocked it, pushed the door open and walked in.

As Chen Qing pushed the door open, the scene in the living room on the first floor of the villa appeared in his sight.

Yue Suchun was sitting in the first seat on the mahogany sofa in the middle of the living room, with Qi Yi and the female driver Zhang Rong standing on her left and right.

And Liu Yilin stood next to Qi Yi.

In addition, there were male and female bodyguards standing in various corners and edges of the living room.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, Yue Suchun, Qi Yi and others were looking in his direction.

When she saw him approaching, Yue Suchun said to the bodyguards around her, "You all go out. Ah Rong, you go guard outside the door."

Just like before, he called the bodyguard and Zhang Rong out.

After a while, only Chen Qing, Yue Suchun, Qi Yi and Liu Yilin were left in the living room of the villa.

Then, Yue Suchun looked at Chen Qing and asked, "Chen Qing, did you do the newspaper thing in Dongcheng?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing glanced at Qi Yi, and Qi Yi met his gaze without flinching.

Ugh.

I let out a sigh in my heart.

In fact, when he was doing this, he thought that he would be asked this question one day. After all, he left some "suspicious" impressions on Qi Yi. However, because the matter of Takasugi Naoto was not a big deal, Qi Yi did not bother with him.

But now, the matter of Shizuji Kamiizumi has become an international incident, so Qi Yi will naturally not hide it anymore.

But, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

I did it at noon, and was asked when I came here in the afternoon.

He did not hide his incompetence any more, and nodded and said, "No in the morning, but yes at noon."

He immediately recounted his speculations and analysis after seeing the news in the morning, as well as his subsequent actions and the rationale behind them.

After hearing what he said, Yue Suchun and Qi Yi frowned at first, but after he explained the principle behind this, they looked at him with surprise!
