Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

They killed the eighth Executor of the Fatui, a woman, and severely damaged the sixth Executor, a stragglers. Meanwhile, the Fatui swiftly wiped out a company of their troops and stole the Heart of Thor.

Yae no Miko understood.

By uniting the forces of other nations in Teyvat, they declared war on the Abyss Order and the Fatui—or at least a portion of the Fatui forces—to fight against them in order to preserve and safeguard the existing civilization of Teyvat.

The Abyss Order is the common enemy of Teyvat's surface civilization, needless to say. The Fools... with their arrogant and domineering style and increasingly twisted behavior, have always had a bad reputation, and the governments of various countries have adopted a policy of both vigilance and cooperation.

In other countries, Inazuma's military might not be able to operate easily, but if it is an organization with close ties to the local area, or even closely connected with local departments, then it is a different story.

"Perfect timing. I suspect that some countries and some people don't trust us and are afraid that we might take this opportunity to spread some things to them. Let Ayato Kamisato, the former head of the society, handle this. By separating the two groups, we'll probably make better progress than we have so far."

"Oh, by the way, the special affairs handling department that will take over your duties will probably be incorporated into it later."

Seeing the sudden realization on Yae no Miko's face, Jiang Ming added another sentence.

This department is also expected to be responsible for finding hidden clues or secrets and technologies left behind by ancient civilizations, in order to find answers to questions he doesn't know.

Yae no Miko carefully counted each function and realized that, if calculated in this way, it was indeed not a small department.

This will be a super-organization covering multiple countries.

"What do you plan to call the new department?"

"Since the initial purpose was to protect human civilization, like a shield, why not call it S.H.I.E.L.D."

The name immediately popped into Jiang Ming's mind when it was mentioned.

Yae no Miko didn't see any problem with it; on the contrary, she thought it was very apt and had no objection to it.

"Speaking of which, I do have something to ask you and Ying. I was just about to look for you, so since you're here, could you please pass on a message?"

"what's up?"

"We've almost finished gathering all the clues. The public trial we promised is about to begin."

Yae no Miko paused for a moment, then realized that she was referring to Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke's group.

There was also a whole bunch of other random people.

"Well, it's time for them to get going."

Unlike the soft-hearted characters in the movie, Yae no Miko was not willing to spare their lives.

To her, the lives and deaths of these people were irrelevant.

"I will pass on the message for you."

"Not only these, but also..."

Jiang Ming gestured for Yae no Miko to bring his ear closer.

Soon after, Yae no Miko looked at Jiang Ming with a horrified expression.

"You really dare to dream?!"

"Otherwise what? Things have been a bit more peaceful in Inazuma Castle these days, and then rumors started spreading like wildfire that couldn't be suppressed. It's time to give an explanation, so let's take this opportunity."

"Let me make this clear first: I'm only responsible for relaying the message; whether or not they agree is not my responsibility."

"Row."

Chapter 231 Court Trial, Initiated!

Not long after the series of news about the Mondstadt disaster, Inazuma had another piece of news.

Two weeks later, a formal trial will be held at the castle tower plaza against a group of prisoners, led by Kujo Takayuki, former magistrate of the Inazuma shogunate, and Hiiragi Shinsuke, magistrate of the Kansei shogunate.

In an instant, people's attention returned to Inazuma.

The last time a country publicly tried members of its former government, or its rulers, was... probably when Mondstadt overthrew the old nobility.

It has a history of several hundred years.

Many people feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed such a rare sight, perhaps only seen once in a century or even a millennium, within the short span of their lives.

Although the hype isn't as intense as before, it has still spurred a significant number of people to take action.

They planned to come to the scene to witness this event firsthand.

When the Inazuma resistance army overthrew the shogunate, they were mostly unable to witness it in person due to the isolation edict and thunderstorms. They couldn't miss it this time.

These people are the first group of foreign tourists since Inazuma lifted the lockdown order; most of the previous visitors were journalists and others who came to work.

Unexpectedly, the reshaping of Inazuma's tourism industry began with the trial of reactionary forces.

People from Fontainebleau are the majority among them.

After all, Fontaine is a land of justice, and trials are an indispensable and serious form of entertainment in the daily lives of Fontaines.

In fact, Fontaine's "court" is located within the Aubigail Opera House.

Whenever someone mentions the trial to the people of Fontainebleau, they often gesture with their hands to tell that person: No one understands the trial better than the people of Fontainebleau!

Inazuma not only dealt with the old rulers in the form of a trial, but the crimes committed by the defendants were also unprecedented in the history of Fontaine and rarely seen in the known history of Teyvat.

They directly caused turmoil in a country, plunging tens of millions into poverty, displacing millions from their homes, and causing hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect deaths.

This is much bigger than any serial disappearance of teenage girls.

Such a great spectacle is not to be missed by many wealthy and leisurely people in Fontainebleau.

The Steambird newspaper in Fontaine even dispatched their star reporter Charlotte to strive for the most attention-grabbing coverage as soon as possible.

Seeing that the number of applicants was increasing, Jiang Ming and his group simply built several hotels near the castle tower square. They were all uniform mid- to high-rise buildings, so that it would be convenient if people couldn't make it to the site.

As time went by, the moment of judgment soon arrived.

This court is specifically used to try principal offenders such as Kujo Takayuki. Ordinary accomplices or related personnel who participated but did not meet the standard of committing a crime are not qualified to be tried in the castle tower square.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Ming, may I interview you?"

In the spectator seats, Charlotte, as a reporter, was seated in the front row, not far from Jiang Ming and the others. She seized the opportunity before the official start to make an interview request.

"Of course, but today is the day to interrogate these main culprits. There's a press conference tomorrow morning and another meeting in the afternoon, so the day after tomorrow morning would be better."

"Really? That would be great!"

Currently, many people want to interview Shin-Inazuma and several ICP members, but none of them have been granted permission yet, and they haven't even been able to meet with each other.

I never expected that just a casual question would not only get me an interview, but even an exclusive one. I'm so lucky!

"And what about Ms. Kokoro, Mr. Goro, and the others...?!"

"You'll have to ask them yourself."

Jiang Ming nudged the two men, signaling them to respond.

"I'm fine with that, but how about the afternoon of the day after tomorrow?"

"Me? Forget about it. I'm just a soldier. If you interview me, I don't know what to say."

Xin Hai agreed, but Wu Lang declined.

Charlotte didn't dare to ask any further questions.

It was already surprising enough to get their permission, that was enough! She was afraid that if she continued to press for more information, things would get unpleasant and the promised interview would be canceled.

but……

Charlotte glanced at Yae no Miko and Ray the Movie beside them.

Who are these two people? How come they can sit with Jiang Ming and the others?

Charlotte, a newcomer, had no idea that the man was the famous General Inazuma, nor could she see the sign on the table in front of her.

Before Charlotte could ask any further questions, Kujo Takayuki was brought to the dock in the temporary courtroom below, and then the judge's voice came from the direction of the trial bench, announcing the start of the trial.

Charlotte had no choice but to stop asking questions and focus entirely on her work.

In preparation for this moment of public appearance before the entire people of Tewat, the detention center provided these main criminals, who were almost certain to die, with more food than the ordinary prisoners, for fear that they would become thin from hunger and be accused of mistreating prisoners later.

Kujo Takayuki knew he was going to die, and at the same time, he prepared himself to face death.

When he learned that the people of Haiji Island did not practice the practice of punishing relatives, and that although his Kujo family would find it difficult to achieve anything in his official career, they would not be implicated too much, he felt relieved.

With the shogunate gone, from the moment the Kaiji Army began its advance, he no longer expected the Kujo family to be as powerful as it was during his reign. It would be good enough if they could live on without being purged.

It wasn't for nothing that he took on all the dirty work himself.

During his time in the detention center, he ate and drank well, was quite content, and even gained a few pounds.

"The defendant, Kujō Takakō, colluded with the foolish group to deliberately force Kaigishima to wage war against the shogunate..."

The judge was explaining the actions of Kujo Takayuki, and along with the explanation, evidence they had collected from the fools was being presented.

The document contains a detailed record of nine acts of filial piety and conversations with the foolish crowd.

“I did it, and this evidence is genuine. I really didn’t expect them to record it in such detail.”

In court, he readily admitted to each question.

"Colluding with the Fools, they equipped the Shogunate army with evil eyes that cause massive harm to the human body without their knowledge..."

“I admit that I did it, but I was also unaware of it.”

"However, the record mentions that although you were not clear about the specifics, you were aware that there was a huge risk involved and deliberately avoided mentioning the elite shogunate army led by Kujo Masahiro at the time."

"I admit that."

……

As the trial progressed, the deeds of Kujo Takayuki—deceiving superiors, fueling the flames, colluding with outsiders, and taking advantage of the situation—were gradually exposed and pieced together to form a complete and coherent record.

Every single one of these matters is supported by irrefutable evidence.

People discovered that his every step had a clear objective:

To seek benefits for the Kujo family.

Chapter 232: Nine Articles of Filial Piety, Ming Zhengdian Punishment

What about Inazuma? As long as my boss (the General) has no objections, that's fine.

I have done a good job in carrying out the General's eternal will, or at least the General thinks I have done a good job, and that is enough.
