Almost half an hour later, Comrade Xiao Xu’s reply confirmed that this was indeed her hairpin.
According to Xu Qingwan, she has carefully kept this hairpin in a secret compartment and has never worn it since her wedding night. She only occasionally takes it out to look at it.
There were many other jewelry stored with the hairpin, but now only this gold hairpin was missing.
The highly commemorative hairpin was lost, and Comrade Xiao Xu was naturally very distressed. In the letter, he repeatedly asked Wei Changtian how he knew the hairpin was gone.
However, Wei Changtian no longer had time to think of reasons to explain this, so he ordered Li Zimu to smooth over the matter and took Zhang San out.
Since the hairpin is real, then my guess is very likely to be true.
And this means that the Sword of Damocles is hanging over his head again...
Wei Changtian hasn't had this sense of crisis for a long time since Xiao Feng's death.
Facing such an enemy with huge energy and whose identity is still unknown, he is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the open.
If he wants to reverse the situation and at least ensure that he will not be "stolen", then Wei Changtian must find the opponent's weakness as soon as possible.
Just like nuclear deterrence in previous lives, only when you can threaten what the other party really cares about, you will not be led around.
It's just that this is simple to say, but not easy to do.
But now his only breakthrough is the most special son of heaven, Huo Tianyang.
"Sir, where are we going?"
Bowing down and getting into the carriage with an expressionless face, Zhang San's voice soon came from the front.
Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at the scene outside the window, then closed the car curtain and said lightly:
"Linchuan Government Office."
...
...
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!!"
Linchuan government office, meeting hall.
When Wei Changtian arrived in a car, everyone in the room was discussing how to plan to keep this living Yama in Linchuan forever.
There was a lot of noise in the spacious hall. All the important people in Linchuan Mansion were present, but the four people from the Jiu Zhen Sect were not the only ones present.
Obviously, after learning that the four people had most likely defected to Wei Changtian, Su Qi would not let them participate in this meeting.
The absence of the four of them cast an additional layer of gloom over the meeting.
The Tengu army stationed outside the city, and the 200,000 "hostages" in their hands...
Yesterday was a completely unplanned assassination...
Wei Changtian changed the period of massacre from ten days to five days...
Four Jiuzhen Sect masters suspected of rebellion...
All of the above were like huge rocks weighing on everyone's mind, making this meeting extremely depressing and chaotic from the beginning.
Everyone has their own ideas and everyone has their own interests that they represent.
Although everyone is a member of Da Gan, they all understand that if Chunhan Teeth dies, they will all be unlucky if Wei Changtian does not die.
But no one is willing to sacrifice more in this chaos that is destined to turn into rivers of blood.
Even up to this time, some people still put forward ridiculous suggestions such as "negotiating peace with Wei Changtian at all costs", which is enough to show the extent of people's laxity.
In fact, we really can't blame Su Qi.
Yes, he was indeed given the order of Jing Guoqing to handle this crisis with full authority.
But after all, he himself is only a third-grade Fu Yin.
He cannot fully control the people sent by the "official" Daqian alone, let alone the private forces from various sects and sects who come to help.
On the surface, everyone seems to be taking him as the leader, but in fact, they all have their own agendas.
Therefore, nothing came out of the discussion all morning today. On the contrary, the quarrel among ourselves became more and more fierce, and it seemed that a wave of internal strife was needed first.
"You, you..."
Looking at the leaders of various forces who were either glaring or cowering; listening to words that seemed high-sounding on the surface but were actually selfish.
At a certain moment, Su Qi, who had endured it all morning, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He no longer cared about each other's face, got up with great anger and shouted:
"Shut up, everyone!!!"
"..."
...
The noise stopped suddenly, and with this roar, the meeting hall fell into dead silence for an instant.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Qi, whose face was flushed, with expressions ranging from surprise to disdain.
Su Qi, on the other hand, just stood upright, his face gradually turning from red to white, and finally he lowered his head as if out of strength, and said slowly in a tone that couldn't be more disappointing:
"Everyone, are you really willing to see me, Da Gan, become just another Da Hui?"
"..."
The breeze passed through the window, fluttering the embroidered robes all over the room.
They thought Su Qi would curse loudly in anger, but everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard such words.
Faced with such a question, the answer in everyone's mind is undoubtedly the same.
But the key is that each of them has to leave a way out for themselves and the forces behind them.
No one wants to destroy the country.
But if that day comes, I have to live...
The struggle in my heart turned into a slight sigh, lowered eyes, and helpless shaking of the head.
And Su Qi didn't understand what everyone was thinking.
He raised his head with a wry smile and scanned the room. His voice was not loud, but it came from the bottom of his heart.
"Everyone, even if you have never seen Wei Changtian's methods, you must have heard of them."
"In Da Hui, he killed Lu Yuansong and Lu Xiangshan's entire family in just two days."
"Yes, other than that, he really didn't kill too many people in Da Hui."
"But you should know that it was because no one dared to disobey him in the Great Rebellion at that time."
"Except for Lu Yuanjin, all the forces in Dahui remained silent and allowed him to do whatever he wanted in Dahui. This gave him a way out."
"But what about you?"
"From the moment you walked into this meeting hall today, do you think Wei Changtian will let you go?"
"..."
A pair of eyes suddenly widened. When Su Qi pointed out the difference between Daqian and Dahui's situation, everyone suddenly felt that they were being calculated.
And this is indeed the case.
The reason why Su Qi summoned everyone so openly today to discuss the plan to kill Wei Changtian was actually to cut off all escape routes.
"Everyone, there is nothing I can do."
Under the angry eyes, Su Qi shook his head: "If this were not the case, we would never be united and we would definitely lose in the end."
"And now, since we are all in the same boat, let's work together for once."
"If we win, we are all the heroes of Daqian, and we will be remembered in history forever."
"Even if we lose, we have a clear conscience and are worthy of His Majesty and millions of other people."
"I cannot guarantee that we will win."
"But I know that since ancient times, there has always been a principle of evil not prevailing over good."
"Everyone, please treat it as my official begging you this time..."
With incomparable determination and sincerity, under the extremely complicated eyes of everyone, Su Qi closed his eyes and whispered the last words.
"Don't let future generations know about my great achievements."
