Under normal circumstances, Shinsuke Hiiragi might patiently fabricate various reasons to satisfy his subordinates, but he wasn't in the mood to make up reasons right now.
"Yes……"
Upon hearing what Shinsuke Hiiragi said, the samurai dared not say anything more. He lowered his head and silently left through the door.
Soon, a wagon loaded with a large amount of food and military equipment left the island, escorted by a dozen samurai, and slowly made its way towards Haiji Island.
Nearly half an hour later, Shinsuke Hiiragi was still restless. He was drinking tea and eating delicious pastries, but he couldn't calm himself down.
Theoretically speaking, he has handled everything properly, and the island is under his control. Even if the general leaves the castle tower and cuts down the unknown entity, he cannot interfere with his affairs.
'Could it be that you haven't been sleeping well lately?'
Shinsuke Hiiragi casually made up an excuse to calm his inner panic.
“Boom boom boom—!!!”
Just then, a rapid knocking sounded at the door.
"Who?!" Shinsuke Hiiragi roared in fury. Who was so reckless? Hadn't he just given the order not to bother him unless it was absolutely necessary?!
"Master." A familiar voice came from outside the door. It was the samurai leader who had led the Fools to capture Su Hao. He had now returned to the Hiiragi family.
"Something happened?" Hearing that familiar voice, Shinsuke Hiiragi calmed down and said in a serious tone, "You and the Fatui failed to capture Su Hao? Lord Kuji made a move?"
In fact, Shinsuke Hiiragi was not unaware that Su Hao had a connection with Yae no Miko, but his years of experience told him that the High Priest would only interfere in Inazuma's domestic affairs when faced with a major event involving the Three Commissioners.
At other times, the other party stays at Narukami Shrine, dealing with matters related to the shrine maiden.
The reason why the Eightfold Divine Child made a move last time was probably because those fools, the Wild Abyss Clan, led people to the Shadow Mountain, which forced Lord Gongsi to intervene.
However, she did not interfere completely; she merely rescued the people, knocked the prisoner to the ground, and finally handed everyone over to the Heavenly Commander for handling.
Therefore, Shinsuke Hiiragi did not think the other party would make a move, but judging from the tone of his subordinates, the other party did make a move in the end.
The samurai outside the door slowly spoke up: "No... it was the general who made the move."
"!!!!!!"
Shinsuke Hiiragi dropped his teacup to the ground. His eyes widened, and he felt his breathing become labored.
Hearing this voice, the samurai outside the door paused for a moment before continuing, "Lord Shinsuke Hiiragi, your matter has been reported to the head of the Kamisato family. The Jujin Clan's executor—a straggler—was slashed by the Shogun, and his fate is unknown."
"The General already knows about your cooperation with the rebels and the Fools. He is aware of your attempts to frame nobles, tax evasion, and embezzlement."
Shinsuke Hiiragi was panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear. Although it was summer, he felt as if he were in the dead of winter.
"No! This isn't true!!!! I didn't!!! I'm innocent!!!!"
Shinsuke Hiiragi shouted loudly. He was scared, utterly scared. At that moment, he desperately wanted to go to the general and tell her that he hadn't done any of those things.
He was merely going with the flow; he didn't orchestrate any of the events.
The idea of a resistance was proposed by the Kujo family; they only provided food and weapons to Umijima.
Su Hao didn't intend to kill the other party; he was merely after the other party's brewing secret recipe and had no intention of framing him.
The accusations of tax evasion and embezzlement are utter nonsense! They are responsible for the nation's financial management! They manage the money! How could that be considered embezzlement?!
"boom!"
At that moment, the door was kicked open, and several people dressed differently from ordinary shogunate soldiers entered the room.
“Okuzawa…” Looking at the group of people who came in, Hiiragi Shinsuke’s face turned ashen. He knew that this was the general’s direct troops.
The appearance of this unit signifies the personal presence of the General's will.
"You're talking too much. Just get to the point." The leader of the Okuzawa clan looked at the Hiiragi samurai with some disgust.
"…………"
The Hiiragi samurai remained silent. After all, this was his former employer. Although he had completely betrayed the shogun earlier, he still felt somewhat guilty.
After finishing speaking about the samurai, Okuzawa looked at Hiiragi Shinsuke and said coldly, "Lord Hiiragi, the Shogun invites you to the Tenshukaku Pavilion to explain the whole story."
"I came here to prevent you from doing something wrong and adding to my own sins. I hope you can be more understanding."
Although Ottoman said he would be very tolerant, his meaning was very clear: if you dare to resist, don't blame them for using force.
Shinsuke Hiiragi slumped in his chair, his eyes vacant, seemingly unwilling to accept everything that had suddenly happened.
"Take him away." Even though Hiiragi Shinsuke was like this, the Okuzawa clan didn't show any politeness and simply dragged him away.
Half a day ago, the other party was the head of the Kansei-gyo, one of the three high-ranking magistrates.
But now, the general has personally given the order to arrest the other party, and anyone who dares to obstruct him will be killed without mercy!
Such a grand event naturally attracted the attention of the island's residents, strangers, and nobles.
When they saw the Kansei Magistrate, the Hiiragi family, and Lord Hiiragi being carried away by the Okuzawa clan like dead dogs, everyone on the island looked at each other in shock.
The weather on the remote island is about to change. Although it's not quite clear why Lord Hiiragi is being treated this way by the Okuzume Clan.
But in Inazuma, there is only one person who can give orders to the Okuzawa clan, and that is the Shogun.
The fact that the Ottomans did this must be because they received orders from the General.
"That's strange. Although the Kansei Magistrate is not a good person, why did Lord Hiiragi end up like this?"
"I don't know. Perhaps the increasingly greedy Kanjō Enforcement Bureau in recent years, with its increasingly outrageous tax collection, is being instigated by this guy surnamed Hiiragi."
"It's possible. It's said that recently some nobles in the city, as well as people who are affiliated with the Kujo and Kamisato families, have suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. They have only one thing in common: the Hiiragi family tried to recruit them, but they all refused."
"Yes, yes, I've heard it from friends too. They say the Hiiragi family isn't the same family it used to be. They're completely rotten to the core. They're said to have close ties with some organizations in other countries."
"Other countries? You mean..."
"I only heard about it, I don't know if it's true or not, but not long ago someone saw a very hot-looking stranger frequently coming and going from the Hiiragi family home. I don't know what she does, but she's said to have a very intimidating aura."
"That traitor! No wonder the general had Ottomans take him away; it turns out his misdeeds have been exposed."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, wondering what Lord Hiiragi had done to deserve such a fate.
It wasn't until some informed sources revealed some information that the public became extremely angry.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, several disguised soldiers looked at each other in disbelief after seeing Okuzawa's men take Hiiragi Shinsuke away. They hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
After watching for a while, the soldiers had no choice but to retreat temporarily and did not risk rescuing Shinsuke Hiiragi.
Everything must wait for the new executive officer to arrive before we can resume operations.
Chapter Sixty-Two: The Woman: "It doesn't matter, I'll take action."
Chapter 62
Inazuma is starting to get confused.
What the Obamas did this time was not particularly low-key; on the contrary, they seemed to be particularly high-profile.
From the outlying island to Inazuma Castle, everyone saw Shinsuke Hiiragi being escorted by the Okuzawa Clan. His face was ashen, as if he understood his impending fate. He did not raise his head in the face of the pointing and whispering of the crowd.
Meanwhile, a group of informed individuals revealed the details of the Fools and recent events on the island, including the previous incident of the Nobushi Clan kidnapping nobles and intercepting a caravan.
The mastermind behind this whole affair was none other than the head of the Hiiragi family, who was in charge of the Kansei (military administration).
This caused quite a stir among the people, both on the outlying islands and in Inazuma Castle, as most of the people in Inazuma were not living particularly well.
The fact that the number of outlaws has increased rather than decreased shows that more and more people are unable to afford food. If they had a choice, who would want to become an outlaw and be hunted down by the shogunate army?
After learning that everything they had suffered was not caused by General [Eternity], the people became extremely angry.
Most of the people rushed to the front of the castle tower, just like the duel in front of the emperor not long ago. However, this time the people were not watching the show, but hoped that the shogun would teach the Hiiragi family a profound lesson!
The Tenryo magistrate was in charge of maintaining order at the scene. These soldiers never expected that the Hiiragi family, the Kansei magistrate, would end up like this. What had they done to deserve such treatment from the Okuzawa clan?
On the other side, at the Kujo family residence, Kujo Takayuki's face was also extremely ugly. He cursed inwardly, "Damn the Fools! Hiiragi Shinsuke is also damned for using the Fools to deal with the Shakai Magistrate's men."
"Why did you have to target someone that Lord Kuji values? Now look what's happened, the Shogun has left the castle tower, and that Jumanji executive officer has disappeared. Let's see what you're going to do now."
Although Kujo Takayuki was cursing Hiiragi Shinsuke at the moment, he himself was like an ant on a hot pan. Once the truth came out, his fate would not be much better than the other's.
"Someone, summon Zhengren here!"
Kujo Takayuki spoke up, and he sent for his eldest son.
“Father.” Soon, Kujo Masahito entered. He was a tall and imposing shogunate officer. He looked at his father with some doubt and asked, “Do you need me to assist Sara in fighting the rebels?”
Kujo Masahito had already learned of Kujo Sara's defeat against the resistance forces, and he had not expected the resistance forces to possess such strength.
And... what's even more unexpected is that the Fools also appeared in this operation.
As the eldest son of the Kujo clan, Kujo Masahito was well aware that his father was colluding with the Fools. Although he knew it was wrong, he ultimately chose to remain silent.
Therefore, Kujo Masahito now wants to go to the front lines rather than stay at the Kujo residence and feel the awkward atmosphere.
"You stay home and take charge; I need to go out for a bit," Kujo Takayuki said calmly.
After leaving those words, he left with his men without saying another word, though Kujo Masahito wanted to say something.
But looking at his father's back, Kujo Masahito finally shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.
After leaving the Kujo family, Kujo Takayuki did not head towards the castle tower or the shrine, but instead hurried towards a certain place outside Inatsuma Castle.
Soon, Kujo Takayuki and several assassins arrived at a very secluded factory in the wilderness.
"Lord Kujo, what brings you here?"
At this moment, a woman appeared. She was wearing a mask that covered most of her face, and she seemed quite surprised by Kujo Takayuki's arrival.
"You've caused such a huge mess, almost dragging me down with you, and I can't even come?!" Kujo Takayuki glared at the fools.
Kujo Takayuki didn't think the other party would be completely unaware of what was happening on the outlying island.
This place is considered the headquarters of the Jujin Clan. When Kujo Takayuki was doing business with the Jujin Clan's executive officer, she mentioned that she needed a factory to manufacture some gadgets.
As for those gadgets, Kujo Takayuki knew what they were, so he acquiesced to the other party's actions, but in return, he had to obtain some of the gadgets.
The woman readily agreed, so Kujo Takayuki turned a blind eye to the fools. If this hadn't happened, he probably would still be in Inatsuma Castle, instead of at this factory.
"This is a misunderstanding, Lord Kujo." The female fools hadn't expected Kujo Takayuki to question them at this moment, and she quickly explained, "We didn't want things to escalate like this either, if it weren't for the Hiiragi family..."
"Alright! Where are your executives?!"
However, Kujo Takayuki had no intention of explaining anything. He directly demanded to see the executors of the Fools, as these insignificant figures were not qualified to speak with him.
