In this tense situation, Shen Mo and others became more cautious in hiding their whereabouts.

One day, Shen Mo decided to go out and check out the situation outside. He disguised himself and blended into the crowd. The street seemed calm, but he could feel the tense atmosphere surging in the dark.

In a teahouse, Shen Mo heard people talking.

"I heard that the Zhao family has been making a lot of moves recently. I don't know what they are going to do."

"Alas, I hope that ordinary people like us will not be implicated."

Shen Mo was secretly worried and quickened his pace back to his hiding place.

At this time, Lord Li was secretly discussing the next plan with several like-minded officials.

"The power of the Zhao family should not be underestimated. We must ensure that every step is taken steadily." Lord Li said solemnly.

"Sir, we have collected a lot of evidence. Can we start taking action?" asked an official.

Lord Li pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer. The time is not yet ripe."

At the Zhao family's side, Zhao Yu was listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Master, we have found out that Lord Li has been in close contact with some officials recently, which may be harmful to us."

Zhao Yu snorted coldly: "Keep a close eye on their every move and report any signs of trouble immediately."

In order to further consolidate his power, Zhao Yu decided to win over some originally neutral officials. He hosted a banquet for them and promised them various benefits.

However, not all officials were willing to go along with the Zhao family. Some officials politely refused, while others agreed on the surface but secretly collected intelligence for Lord Li.

Shen Mo and others were anxiously waiting for news in their hiding place.

My brother couldn't help but say, "It's no use waiting like this. We have to take the initiative to do something."

Shen Mo said: "Don't act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy."

Lin Yuwei said: "But we can't keep hiding like this."

Shen Mo thought for a moment: "I will contact Lord Li again to see what the situation is."

Shen Mo went out in disguise again, carefully avoiding the Zhao family's eyes, and came to Lord Li's mansion.

After seeing Lord Li, Shen Mo asked anxiously: "Lord Li, what is the current situation?"

Lord Li said, "The Zhao family's defenses are getting tighter, but we are almost ready."

Shen Mo said: "Then when do we act?"

Lord Li lowered his voice and said, "In these few days, go back and inform your companions to be ready."

Shen Mo nodded in agreement and hurried back.

After returning to his hiding place, Shen Mo told everyone the news.

Everyone was excited and nervous and began to make final preparations for the upcoming operation.

At this moment, the Zhao family's spy discovered Shen Mo's whereabouts and immediately went back to report to Zhao Yu.

After Zhao Yu learned about it, he sneered and said, "Finally, they've revealed their true colors. Send some people to surround their hiding place."

All of a sudden, a large number of people from the Zhao family rushed towards the hiding place of Shen Mo and others.

Shen Mo and others noticed the movement outside.

Brother Wang said: "Oh no, we have been discovered."

Shen Mo made a prompt decision: "Everyone, grab your weapons and prepare to break out."

Everyone was ready.

The Zhao family members surrounded the house.

"Listen, people inside, you have no way to escape, just surrender!" A voice came from outside.

Shen Mo responded loudly: "Don't even think about it!"

The two sides reached a stalemate.

Just then, Lord Li arrived in time with his soldiers.

"Zhao family, your crimes have been exposed, why don't you surrender!" Lord Li shouted.

Zhao Yu's face changed drastically when he saw this: "Master Li, what do you mean?"

Lord Li said: "Your crimes are proven, and today is your end."

A fierce battle unfolded.

The Zhao family's guards fought desperately, but were gradually defeated under the powerful offensive of the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhao Yu attempted to escape.

Shen Mo was sharp-eyed and discovered his intention, so he led his men to chase after him.

After a chase, Zhao Yu was finally captured.

Lord Li said, "Take the Zhao family back to the government office and wait for their fate."

At this point, this thrilling struggle finally ended with the victory of Lord Li, Shen Mo and others.

However, the matter did not end there. The Zhao family's followers in the court were still there, unwilling to accept defeat, and began to plan a new conspiracy.

The situation in the capital is still turbulent. Can Shen Mo and Lord Li completely eliminate the remnants of the Zhao family and restore peace to the capital?
