Chapter 603 Newspaper, Zhida
Lin Mo gently placed a newspaper on the table, sneered and shook his head.
There was a piece of news reported on it:
Commissioner Zhao resigned due to his subordinates' corruption and bribery, and later committed suicide out of fear of punishment in a remote Buddhist temple in the suburbs.
Lin Mo sneered in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that the death of Commissioner Zhao was definitely not that simple, and there must be some unspeakable conspiracy behind it.
But those people living at the bottom of society were easily deceived and believed it to be true.
They even praised Commissioner Zhao's "responsibility" and felt deeply saddened and regretful for his death.
In fact, if it weren’t for Lin Mo’s action to kill Commissioner Zhao.
Even if his subordinates' corruption and bribery were exposed, it would be just a small matter.
With Commissioner Zhao's power and connections in the officialdom, he could easily cover up this matter.
However, what really doomed Commissioner Zhao was the revelation that he was reselling weapons funded by Japan.
If Commissioner Zhao were still alive, perhaps he could have just lost some interests and turned this matter from a big thing to a small one.
But now he is dead, and in order to give an explanation to the Japanese, Emperor Hongxian did not hesitate to push all the blame onto Commissioner Zhao.
But this kind of thing must never be known to the public.
After all, Commissioner Zhao is a senior government official. Once this matter is fully exposed, the image of the new government will suffer severe damage.
Especially at this moment when the sentiment against restoration is rising like a surging tide, it is very likely to trigger a series of unpredictable serious consequences.
This is something Emperor Hongxian would never allow to happen!
Therefore, letting the newspapers announce that Commissioner Zhao committed suicide out of fear of punishment not only gave him a seemingly decent death, but also allowed the scandal to gradually die down quietly.
Another report stated that Director Wen Huiwen, who worked under Commissioner Zhao, slipped and fell from the roof of his building while "looking at the scenery", hit his head on the ground, and died on the spot.
For Lin Mo, this kind of death is not uncommon.
It has become the "old-fashioned" destination for many senior officials.
Perhaps they were coerced or bribed, or perhaps they had no choice but to choose this way to end their lives in order to protect their families.
Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who would have thought that after more than a hundred years, there would still be such a sloppy and unoriginal way to die in later generations.
Everyone knows that there is something fishy going on, and those behind the scenes also know that you know there is something fishy going on.
But they are fearless and not afraid of your suspicion at all.
Because even if the grassroots people have doubts, they do not have the ability to investigate.
They can only talk about this matter after dinner, but they can't change anything at all.
Lin Mo was not surprised by this.
He knew very well that the world was like this, full of complexity and darkness.
Many writers have expressed their opinions on the death of Commissioner Zhao.
There was an article among them that instantly caught Lin Mo's attention and left a deep impression on him.
Because of his mature and sharp writing style.
It stands out among the many articles that are trying to smooth things over and whitewash the situation.
Lin Mo took a quick glance and saw that the article was signed by "Zhi Da".
In an instant, the image of a young student involuntarily emerged in his mind—Zhou Yi.
I didn't expect this guy to really do what he said. The pen in his hand is much sharper than those scalpels.
Every word was like a sharp blade, piercing those people's hearts directly and revealing their true faces.
As far as Lin Mo knew, Zhou Yi had been fighting on the front line of the struggle.
He published many articles exposing current social ills in major newspapers and never betrayed his original intention.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that this kid did not go against his original intention.
China needs people like this to have hope and a future!
At this time, a week had passed since Lin Mo killed the South Asian sorcerer.
From his memory, Lin Mo learned about his origins and some secrets of the underworld.
For example, the Five Evils of Jianghu, the Cholera of the Tower Cult, the Black Witchcraft, the South Sea Evil Spell...
After the revolving lantern went out, the "Catalogue of Sinful Spirits" gave him two rewards.
The first one is the technique of tribute.
It contains a lot of witchcraft and sorcery.
Some of them were so evil that even Lin Mo shook his head after seeing them. The methods were so cruel that they were outrageous.
Those black magic techniques require the blood and lives of living people, and the methods are extremely cruel and outrageous.
The other reward is even more powerful, it is called Taiyin Bewitching Technique.
This technique originated from the ancient Taiyin Sect.
According to legend, the Taiyin Sect was once glorious, and all of its disciples possessed great magical powers.
They control ghosts as a means to gain fame in the martial arts world and terrify countless people.
When the Taiyin Bewitching Technique is practiced to the highest level, it is said that it can control a hundred thousand ghosts and spirits, and is considered one of the highest Yin Techniques in Taoism.
However, many years ago, something unexpected happened to the Taiyin Sect, and the entire sect was wiped out overnight, and the Taoist tradition was lost to the world.
Unexpectedly, the Taiyin Bewitching Technique, which is considered the sect's treasure, was learned by the people of Gongmen.
From Zhao Shuisheng's memory, Lin Mo learned that the reason why this guy valued Zhong Ling so much was that he thought she might be the Tianyin Xuannv recorded in ancient books.
The appearance of Tianyin Xuannv is said to possess special powers and is an excellent physique for practicing certain secret arts.
Lin Mo knew very well that he couldn't be by Zhong Ling's side all the time, and that Zhong Ling needed some ability to protect herself.
After all, he had only taught Zhong Ling the method of cultivation, but had not taught her the means of killing.
If she could achieve some success in this secret technique, it would be enough to protect her.
Therefore, Lin Mo not only devoted himself to practicing this secret technique, but also passed it on to Zhong Ling.
As for the news of the eldest son's death, it was ultimately not completely covered up.
After all, the eldest son is of noble status and has a great reputation in Kyoto. His absence for a long time would naturally arouse many suspicions from the outside world.
Based on the clues, Yang Yunchan launched a carpet search of Kyoto City.
For a time, the city of Kyoto was in a state of panic.
The people under Emperor Hongxian brought people to search house by house, leaving no corner untouched.
However, despite searching for six or seven days, nothing was found.
The sorcerer who was identified as the murderer of the eldest son seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace at all.
Many people believe that the other party may have fled China and returned to Southeast Asia.
Emperor Hongxian was already in poor health, and after experiencing this incident, he felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow and fell ill.
In the court, people's hearts are in turmoil and undercurrents of various forces are surging.
However, these things have nothing to do with Lin Mo now.
Although everything was caused by him, no one noticed him.
He seemed to be fine, enjoying his rare leisure time.
"Oh no, we're going to be late!"
Lin Mo suddenly woke up from his thoughts, and the agreement with Bai Jingshu emerged in his mind.
He hurriedly changed into casual clothes and walked out of the lounge as fast as the wind.
After leaving the Evil Dragon Prison, Lin Mo headed straight for the East City Overpass.
Yesterday, he made an appointment with Bai Jingshu to go shopping together.
Ever since the last time the two of them visited the temple fair in Tianjin, their relationship has quickly heated up.
This time, they made an appointment to go strolling on the East City Overpass, and it will surely be another wonderful time.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but quicken his pace.
