Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

This caused General Thunder to involuntarily furrow his brow.

"Quickly investigate what has happened in the city that has caused such chaos?" General Thunder ordered the Ottomans beside him.

Not long after, the Okuzawa clan who had gone to investigate returned to the castle tower.

"Reporting to the General, the Tianling Envoy reports that there is a disturbance caused by rioters in the city."

Riots?

General Thunder was momentarily stunned.

There hasn't been anything like this in years. This is Inazuma Castle, how could there be any disturbance?

What caused the riots?

"The Heavenly Commander reported that the unrest was caused by dissatisfaction with rising rice prices in the city."

Is that all?

Based on the information provided by the Heavenly Commander, General Thunder made a swift decision.

"Order the Heavenly Commander to carry out the order, control rice prices, quell the unrest, and handle this matter properly."

"Yes."

However, shortly after the messengers left, an even louder commotion erupted in the city.

Moreover, it seems we're getting closer and closer to the castle tower.

"?"

General Thunder frowned deeply.

I just said I would handle this matter properly, so why has Tianling Fengxing made it even bigger?

How do they get things done?

"General! General... Something terrible has happened!"

The guards outside the castle tower rushed in in a panic and knelt down on the ground.

"Why are you panicking?"

"General, look at the sky!"

Heaven?

The Eye of Evil opened behind him, and the Thunder General was instantly teleported to the roof of the castle tower.

That's... an iron bird?

It doesn't seem like a new elemental creature or demon god, but rather like a creation of human craftsmen.

With his exceptional eyesight, General Raiden easily spotted the bombers flying over Inazuma Castle.

The speed is extremely fast, exceeding the speed of sound. If it is indeed a creation of human craftsmen, then it is undoubtedly outstanding and should be commended and encouraged.

However... she could sense the aura of the Earth Elemental Eye on each of the iron birds.

Should we execute the eye-hunting order?

General Thunder took out his weapon, gathered his energy, and was about to step forward when he saw the iron birds dropping large amounts of paper.

Someone came to deliver a message?

General Thunder hesitated for a moment, then postponed the execution of the Eye Hunt order, intending to see what was written on the papers first.

If they have rendered meritorious service, it would be acceptable to temporarily let them off the hook and give them some compensation before enforcing the Eye Hunt Order.

Reaching out, the Eye of Evil connected the two spaces, grabbing the paper that was falling from the air.

After just a couple of glances, General Thunder's hands involuntarily clenched tighter.

The above list outlines the various actions taken by the shogunate in recent years.

More precisely, it refers to the various sins committed by those who obeyed the divine mandate and those who were deemed worthy of execution.

Each one has solid evidence.

—This was collected by the Sea God Army from the factories of the Fools.

The doctor led the stragglers and other Fool soldiers away through the secret passage, presumably having escaped their interference range and left Inazuma via teleportation.

However, probably because they withdrew in such a hurry, they were unable to destroy or take away much of their data. They were mostly concerned with the highly confidential information of the Fools, but they did not take away the evidence of their collusion with the Shogunate forces and the evidence of crimes committed by Shogunate officials that they had collected.

Now, these materials have been copied in tons, combined with Umijima's descriptions and condemnations of the shogunate's actions in recent years, and scattered by planes over Inazuma Castle.

General Thunder silently read through the description on that page, then reached out and grabbed another one floating in the air.

The format is largely the same, except that the crimes and deeds listed have been completely changed.

They seize another card, and it's for a different crime.

"..."

General Thunder remained silent for a moment.

It's impossible to list all the crimes they committed.

Given the sheer size of the quantity, it took her quite some time to determine the appropriate course of action that should be taken in accordance with the law.

However, if these things were seen by the civilians who were in the midst of the unrest, would it trigger a new wave of unrest and have any impact?

Should we collect all these papers and handle this matter secretly?

As for the suspected rebels on Umijima Island... well, there's no major threat anyway. We must first pacify the internal situation before dealing with external threats. We should resolve the internal problems of the shogunate, appease the people of Inazuma Castle, and then send a magistrate to deal with the situation once we have a thorough understanding of it.

The general prioritized resolving internal affairs, then calculated the different impacts of various approaches. Looking up, he noticed that the unsettled civilians in Inazuma Castle seemed to be quite different from what the magistrate had described.

The restless civilians, in orderly ranks, crowded the streets of Inazuma Castle, gathering in front of the Magistrate's Office or other shogunate institutions, carrying white banners with black lettering and chanting uniform slogans.

The guards of the magistrate's office are doing their best to keep these groups from wandering around.

They dared not use force. The main force of the shogunate army was in Kujo Jinya. With so few men, they would be torn to pieces by the irrational people if they saw blood.

Damn it, when will Lord Fengxing finally send the main force?! We can't hold on much longer!

With the general's eyesight, he could clearly see the words on these banners.

"Destroy the tyranny of the shogunate! Inazuma belongs to the people!!!"

"Severely punish these nine acts of filial impiety and give me back my good life!!!"

Each team shouted slogans in unison, but the noise was caused by the large number of restless teams.

No, this is organized and has a program. How can this be called a disturbance? This is clearly an uprising!

General Thunder looked at the list of crimes on the paper in his hand, and then at the commotion on the road... no, the uprising.

There were also rebels who rose up on Haiji Island.

Just how many things did the Three Envoys keep from her?!

Chapter 215 All Smash

General Thunder appeared in a flash on the ground in front of the castle tower, then turned to head to the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's Office to demand an explanation.

The uprising procession was almost at the castle tower, yet these people were still trying to cover it up and deceive their superiors.

If it weren't for the rebels' actions, and if it weren't for this coincidence that allowed her to leave her room in the castle tower and see the scene in Inazuma Castle, she probably wouldn't know anything and would still be letting the magistrate handle the matter.

As long as the matter is suppressed before she finds out, those nine acts of filial piety will still be considered excellent divine command.

That's a brilliant plan!

However, General Thunder was stopped by his soldiers, who were serving under the command of the Heavenly Commander, just as he took a step.

"General, a rebel envoy requests an audience, claiming he has important matters to report."

General Raiden halted his steps toward the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's Office.

Turning around again, I weighed the priorities of the two matters according to the rules.

"Summon him to the castle tower. Also, order the commander to immediately and properly handle the unrest in the castle."

Well, since we can't get through this period right now, and it's a time when we need manpower, changing generals before a battle is a big no-no, so let's keep him for a while.

We'll settle the score later once this whole mess has calmed down.

"Yes."

General Raiden had to temporarily return to the castle tower to prepare for the meeting.

Before leaving, he glanced coldly and indifferently in the direction of the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's Office.

The butler of the Kujo family, who was secretly observing the situation, was suddenly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

That was practically... the look of someone staring at a dead person.

The steward of the Kujo family dared not delay any longer and immediately returned to the Magistrate's Office to report on Kujo Takayuki.

"How is it? General, is it alright...?"

Meanwhile, inside the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, Kujo Takayuki was already drenched in sweat.

He couldn't get in touch with Kujo Jinya at all.

No matter how many times he tried to contact them, there was no response, as if Kujo Jinya no longer existed in this world.

The Fools have also lost contact.

With no reinforcements arriving, he could only watch as the civilians gathered together.

He simply couldn't understand how that man from Haiji Island, who only controlled a few newspapers, could secretly incite and organize so many civilian demonstrations in Inazuma Castle, nor could he fathom his purpose in doing so.

Seeing an unknown iron bird fly by in the sky, which attracted the general to descend in person, he could no longer suppress the matter, as the general had already witnessed it with his own eyes.

The hope that troops would be dispatched quickly to suppress the unrest and create a situation where nothing happened was also dashed.

Now we can only wait and see how the General will handle this.

Fortunately, it was just a public disturbance; he only concealed it to avoid alarming the general.
