In the final analysis, they were just insignificant little characters who didn't need his intervention. Zhao Feng could easily suppress them and couldn't make any real waves at all.
As a matter of fact, there was no splash at all after a few days.
But now, it comes in handy.
Lin Yi smiled meaningfully and said: "To cooperate with them and spread the news, it is best to describe me as more evil so that people will share the same hatred and hatred. This will spread faster."
"ah?"
Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard this: "Wouldn't that give them an advantage? Wouldn't your reputation also become bad?"
Growing up, she had seen many people throwing dirty water on others, but this was the first time she had seen someone splashing dirty water on herself so actively.
Lin Yi explained unhurriedly: "Black and red are also red. As long as the spread increases, then there will be a reversal, and it will be more deeply rooted in people's hearts."
Zhao Feng pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized: "I understand! The bigger the incident becomes, the more people will know these rules. With the popularity, the basic rules will also be established."
"good."
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
At this stage, what he needs most is not word of mouth, but popularity.
In terms of spreading popularity, normal promotion will naturally not be able to deal with scandals. After all, the latter is what the general public likes to hear and see.
Zhao Feng's eyes shone, and he was eager to give it a try: "Leave it to me, I will arrange it myself."
Watching her leave in a hurry, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Soon, public opinion began to change.
For the first time, Lin Yi's name entered the eyes of the people at the bottom, but this time he appeared as a villain.
Facts have proved that negative news does have strong vitality.
Once the spirit of Bagua is set on fire, it will immediately spread from one person to another, showing an unstoppable trend.
Zhao Feng was so excited that she couldn't wait to run over to tell Lin Yi the good news: "You are amazing, it really works!"
However, the smile on Lin Yi's face was not much of a smile.
"The heat is still not right."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Feng's face was full of confusion: "A lot of people are discussing it now. I can hear it when I go out to a restaurant. I scold you so hard."
Lin Yi shook his head: "Someone is suppressing the heat behind the scenes."
If it unfolds normally, it should not just be limited to private discussions among the people at this moment, but the entire public opinion should have exploded.
After all, this is a real scandal, especially one related to Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Whether it is the identity of Lin Yi, the head of the Security Review Department, or the spread of his relationship with Zhao Feng, there are both top-level conspiracy theories and erotic gossip. It can be said that it perfectly suits the taste of the general public. This kind of hot spot cannot be explosive.
That's weird.
Although the current popularity has improved slightly, it is obviously still far from a real explosion.
Zhao Feng tilted his head and thought for a moment, still puzzled: "Who could it be?"
"Yes, who could it be?"
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, his eyes dark.
To be able to suppress heat on such a large scale, the opponent's energy must be extraordinary.
And deliberately suppressing the heat at this time must not be for Lin Yi's benefit. After all, a person who has truly reached such a level must be able to see his intention.
Lin Yi was almost convinced that the other party was deliberately targeting him.
The key question is, who is this person?
Tufu's Mansion.
As a Taifu, one of the three princes of the dynasty, Xiao Mang's influence in the dynasty was not as good as that of the top princes like the Seven Kings, but his popularity was even greater.
Every time the court came to an end, his mansion was filled with distinguished guests and hundreds of officials gathered.
Without him, Xiao Mang is recognized as a morally perfect person by the inner court. A moral monument in his family is well known to the world. Anyone who wants to make progress must come and take advantage of the blessing of the moral monument.
It was not until late at night that all the officials took their leave one after another.
Xiao Mang lay comfortably on the Arhat chair, enjoying the attentive service of four stunningly beautiful maids.
If this scene were to spread, people would be shocked.
After all, he is a morally perfect man, and the most important thing on his moral monument is to abstain from sexual intercourse with women.
Obviously, what is written on the moral monument is one thing, but what he, a perfect moral person, did is another matter.
The housekeeper stood aside and reported respectfully: "Master, Lin Yi's scandal has been suppressed."
Xiao Mang hummed, with a playful look on his face: "Using this kind of scandal to attract attention, this guy is quite smart, but it's a pity that he's not very good at being a good person."
The housekeeper echoed: "Judging from his various actions, this boy's abilities are indeed impressive, but he is arrogant."
"The four directors of the Security Review Department, except him, have all paid a visit."
"Even Bai Shizu, who has a background in Prince Qin's palace, showed humility to the head of the family, but Lin Yi was the only one who ignored him, which is really inappropriate."
In theory, at least from a procedural point of view, Sangong, like the King of Qin, has the power to intervene and have jurisdiction over the Security Review Department.
In other words, Xiao Mang, as one of the three princes, was Lin Yi's boss.
However, from the beginning of his tenure to today, Lin Yi did not even say a private greeting, let alone a visit.
Other big shots might have laughed it off, but Xiao Mang wouldn't.
He is a moral model respected by all people, and he is the master of etiquette and law. Lin Yi's behavior, in his opinion, is disrespectful, and he cannot see his superior!
"It's not surprising that people from other places don't know the rules if they don't know the rules. I'll give him some advice and teach him how to behave. That's what the question is about."
Xiao Mang waved to the other four maids waiting aside and changed into a more comfortable posture.
The housekeeper cooperated: "Being able to receive the teachings of the family leader is a blessing that Lin Yi has cultivated in his eight lifetimes. When the time comes, he will not be able to honor the family master properly. I'm afraid it won't be justified."
Xiao Mang glanced at him with a smile but not a smile: "Don't be too greedy. He has ten rules. Eight of them are enough. Leave two for him. After all, you have to take care of the face of Prince Zhao's palace."
"The master of the house is kind."
The housekeeper sincerely praised him, and then said: "I think he is not a stupid person. After this round of boring losses, he will naturally understand and know what to do."
Xiao Mang lightly tapped the back of the chair with his finger and changed the topic: "By the way, that girl named Dongfang Yan is pretty good. I heard she is very close to Lin Yi?"
The housekeeper immediately understood: "No matter how close the relationship is, for the sake of their own future, they still have to send it over. Since the head of the family is interested, they can't make their own decision."
"What are you talking about? I, the head of your family, am a moral model. How could I do something like robbing a common girl? What will happen if word spreads about it?"
Xiao Mang said in a faint tone: "What matters in this kind of thing is your willingness and my will, and forceful melons are not sweet."
