Traveling through Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Chapter 459 Justice and Evidence

Xu Jiawei's words spread in all directions. Both the audience and the participating teams fell into deathly silence. They did not expect that on the last day of the competition, they would get such a big piece of news. If this were to get out, it would cause turmoil in the Xingluo Empire and even the entire continent.

Dai Hao's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he glared at Huo Yuhao fiercely. Seeing that Huo Yuhao had a sneer on his face and was watching the show leisurely, he became even more angry.

He knew that all this was caused by this rebellious person.

Suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, Dai Hao quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed for a long time, and a red mark appeared on his forehead.

"Your Majesty is wise. I, Dai Hao, have absolutely no such intentions. It's just that the Duke's Mansion and Shrek Academy had a grudge some time ago, so they slandered me."

An audience member from the Xingluo Empire suddenly understood what was happening. He regarded Dai Hao as his idol and naturally did not believe it. After hearing Dai Hao's explanation, he immediately felt that he had seen the truth.

"Yes, it must be Shrek Academy that slandered the Duke and took revenge on him. Your Majesty, please be wise!"

Someone nearby, a supporter of Shrek Academy, retorted, "If Shrek Academy wants to deal with him, they can just kill him. Is it necessary to do so?"

"They must be trying to bring disgrace upon the Duke! Shrek Academy has evil intentions!"

"Humph, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. A traitor may appear loyal, and this is exactly what happened to Dai Hao."

Xu Jiawei shook his head and looked at Dai Hao, his eyes full of disappointment and heartache, "You still don't want to admit it? Shrek Academy provided me with evidence that you wanted to rebel. I checked it one by one, and the evidence is conclusive!"

"My dear brother, you are my good friend and my relative. I absolutely do not want to wrongly accuse you!"

"Come here, show us the evidence we found and see if you have anything to say."

Some of these evidences were naturally provided by Huo Yuhao and were said to be from Dai Hao’s memory. Some were found by them, and some were done by his sister, the Duchess, in the name of the Dai family. In the end, the blame was naturally placed on the Dai family.

"First, the Dai family colluded with the Shanyang Earl's Mansion. The Shanyang Earl's Mansion increased taxes by 20% in Shanyang to provide for your Dai family so that your Dai family could raise private soldiers. And you let the Shanyang Earl's son serve as the deputy commander in your army. This is actual evidence."

In the audience, the audience member who said that Dai Hao was the one who was wrongly accused immediately stopped talking, because he was from Shanyang and he naturally knew about the tax increase. He did not expect that the tax was taken away by the Dai family. He always thought that the Earl of Shanyang was too greedy.

His impression of Dai Hao changed immediately, and he even hated Dai Hao more than those who didn't like Dai Hao in the first place.

People are like this, when it does not involve their own interests, no matter how bad the other party is, they will selectively ignore and support them to the end, but as long as the other party harms their interests, they will hate the other party even more.

Xu Jiawei's people continued to read, "The Dai family colluded with the Four-eyed Marquis"

There are many such incidents, all of which Xu Jiawei deliberately brought up in order to lower Dai Hao's prestige among the people.

Of course, these things are all facts, and he did not wrongly accuse the Dai family. The Dai family was able to develop from almost extinction three thousand years ago to where they are today, which is inseparable from the collusion of interests.

When their interests intertwined, those people naturally hoped that the Dai family would take the top position. If these people really relied on Dai Hao's personal charm and common ideals to gather together and want to push the Dai family to the top position, then he really didn't dare to deal with Dai Hao so easily. It was a pity that they rebelled because of their common interests, so they would inevitably split because of their interests.

"Point 44: Allowing clan members and servants to bully men and women, causing countless people to lose their homes and die. The list is as follows."

"Point 45: Cultivate cliques in the army, so that the White Tiger Corps only knows the White Tiger Duke but not His Majesty. The soldiers even only listen to the orders of the Dai family and do not recognize the will of His Majesty. The cliques are as follows."

"Point 46: Keeping the enemy alive for your own benefit, colluding with bandits in the Mingdou Mountains, letting them pretend to be the Sun-Moon Empire's army to attack them, in order to gain military merit, and even killing innocent people to claim credit!"

As soon as this was announced, the people present immediately started to make a commotion. You know, the reason why Dai Hao was so popular was because of his record of winning battles against the Sun Moon Empire. Could it be that those records were all fake? Or even that they were fake military achievements obtained by killing the people of their own country?
The audience then thought of what Ma Xiaotao had said before, that the legion commanders of the Sun-Moon Empire were at least Titled Douluo, while Dai Hao was just a Soul Douluo who was killed instantly by a Soul Saint. How did he defeat the legion of the Sun-Moon Empire?

Could it be that he has actually been killing innocent people to gain credit?
The dozens of pieces of evidence read out earlier are still vivid in people's minds. The key is that they are all concrete evidence, which has caused the people present to accumulate too much dissatisfaction with the Dai family and Dai Hao, and has also consumed too much trust. Now when they hear about the incident of killing innocent people and taking credit for it, it immediately arouses public indignation.

It turns out that all their previous achievements were deceiving them! They were fooling them!
Such traitors should be executed and their entire clan should be exterminated!
Seeing the changed public opinion and public sentiment, Xu Jiawei secretly felt satisfied. The intelligence Huo Yuhao provided was really sufficient. Many of them were not found by the Xu family. It was as if he had dug them out directly from Dai Hao's mind. There were some that they knew about but could not find evidence. However, Huo Yuhao directly told them who to find and where to find evidence. In this way, they were able to accurately list nearly fifty pieces of evidence.

As a result, the Dai family and Dai Hao were completely nailed to the pillar of shame.

The Dai family's crimes seem to be numerous, but in fact every noble has such problems, but ordinary people just don't know about it. Now that they are exposed, naturally people are outraged.

And taking advantage of this emotion, they exposed his crime of killing innocent people and taking credit for it. Even though he only did it once, in the eyes of the indignant people, all his merits were obtained by killing innocent people and taking credit for it.

This is it, the people’s hearts can be used!

Xu Jiawei's eyes were filled with regret and disappointment as he questioned Dai Hao in a harsh voice: "Dai, my dear! Dai Hao! What else do you want to say about these things that have solid evidence? I have more things that have no evidence in my hands. For the sake of your reputation, I will not say anything."

In fact, there is not much, but the people will make up their own minds. In the past, the people would spontaneously push the blame onto the Dai family. Now that the Dai family has won this time, the surplus value should still be utilized. They should take the blame and settle the accounts that should be settled.

Dai Hao looked at the angry people and this time his expression really changed drastically.

He could imagine that once these irrefutable facts spread, the Dai family and the momentum he had built up over decades, the prestige he had accumulated over decades, and the painstaking efforts he had put in over decades would collapse and be destroyed in an instant.

However, he was sure that everything they had done was very secretive, and some things were even known only to a few people within the family. But why was there evidence?

All of this must have been done by that rebel. He said that he could read other people's memories!
At this moment, Dai Hao felt extremely regretful. He regretted why he did not kill Huo Yun'er and why he did not kill Huo Yuhao. This led to the current situation and everything he had was ruined!
He hated Huo Yuhao in his heart. He hated that Huo Yuhao was his son, but why did he ruin his reputation and kill the Dai family? Didn't he just forget about them? Was this a big mistake?
Couldn't Huo Yuhao forgive himself and be his own good child? With his talent, he would definitely be able to succeed in the future!

But why was he so vicious as to destroy the person who gave birth to him!
What an inappropriate son of man!

Dai Hao was filled with immense resentment at this moment. If he didn't know about Huo Yuhao, it would have been fine, but he knew about it. He also knew that Huo Yuhao should have stood with him, called him father, and supported him in fulfilling his ambitions. But the fact was that Huo Yuhao was the main force behind his destruction. This sense of gap made him hate Huo Yuhao immensely.
