Original God, if I am beaten by them, I will become stronger

KO

Wan Ye couldn't help but praise: "Your skill as the bounty hunter is simply unrivaled!"

"Oh, you are blessed by the element of wind. You are so fast that even the general's sword can't catch up with you." Friend A looked at the fake who fell to the ground. "So, this guy is Lin Qiu, the evil winner?"

Lin Qiu raised his lips slightly and confessed: "I'm sorry, I have something to hide from you..."

Manyo and Friends A:?

"Actually, I am Lin Qiu."

Chapter 18 The Culprit: Yingsi Family

Taking this opportunity, Lin Qiu explained the whole story to Wan Ye and the others.

After realizing that they had misunderstood Lin Qiu as a villain, Manye and friend A felt a little sorry, but they still wanted to witness the end of this matter.

With the help of Manye and his friend A, Lin Qiu carried the impostor back to the Mulou Teahouse, found an empty room and tied him up inside, then took off the impostor's face mask.

"Except for the fact that we both use guns, this guy and I have nothing in common." Seeing the fake's true appearance, Lin Qiu couldn't help but complain, "Especially his face. At least find someone more handsome to impersonate me - why does he look a little familiar?"

The counterfeit had a face full of flesh, a rough and intimidating look, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with. He stood out among the many bandits hiding in the wild.

Just then, Linghua walked into the room.

"Ms. Linghua, I caught that guy. He's the one tied up." Lin Qiu introduced Manye and A-san. "These two are Mr. Fengyuan Manye and his friends. They helped a lot in the arrest process."

Next, Lin Qiu introduced Linghua to Wanye and friend A. After a few polite words, Linghua looked at the impostor who was tied in the corner and still unconscious.

"Hmm? I seem to have seen this face at the banquet of the three magistrates..." Kamisato Ayaka thought for a moment and confirmed, "This person is a branch of the Takagi family and a shogunate noble!"

Linghua's words drew the three people's attention back to the impostor. They were extremely surprised that an aristocrat of the Inazuma shogunate would pretend to be a ronin to do evil!

Lin Qiu was glad that when he caught the impostor, he did not summon the magic spear for use due to the lack of raw stones and he also felt it was unnecessary.

The restriction that the Son of God added to the seal on the weapon is that it will be lifted if it is stained with the blood of Inazuma nobles. If a gun is used to attack an imposter, it is equivalent to wasting the seal in vain.

If that happens, I'll have to go back to the shrine to bother Miss Fox again, which would be a bit embarrassing.

While feeling thankful, Lin Qiu was also somewhat confused.

"It's strange, am I so hated?" Lin Qiu said helplessly, "I actually let the noble warriors do evil things just to put the blame on me."

At the same time, the fake just woke up. Hearing Lin Qiu's complaints, he said angrily, "Asshole, I will definitely tear your tendons and skin you alive to avenge my blood!"

"Hey, be polite and don't curse in such an elegant teahouse." Lin Qiu spread his hands. "Besides, I don't remember ever provoking you. What's the grudge?"

Veins bulged on the counterfeit's rugged face, as if he was trying to break the ropes that restricted his movements, but the ropes were unexpectedly of good quality, and struggling was completely futile.

"Have you forgotten?! My brother's cervical vertebrae were broken by your kick, and he has been unable to move below the neck ever since!" The fake screamed hysterically, "It's all your fault. He was an excellent warrior, the pride of the Takashi family, but his bright future was ruined by you, bastard!"

Lin Qiu finally figured out that this impostor was actually the younger brother of the scum warrior who threatened him with the child. No wonder his face was so fat and looked familiar.

In this way, all previous doubts can be answered.

After the scum samurai's neck was broken by Lin Qiu, the recording talisman stone was sent to the Kamisato family as a handle. The Takashi family was worried that the scandal would be exposed and could not deal with the matter publicly.

Even if we send the dirty guys to get rid of Lin Qiu by secret revenge, it would be difficult to find the elusive Lin Qiu, and we wouldn't be able to defeat him even if we found him.

Therefore, the leader of the Takagi family decided to drop the matter in order to avoid the spread of scandal and the loss of face for the family, and the scumbag samurai with a broken neck suffered a loss in silence.

After all, the scum samurai is only a side branch of the family, and sacrificing him can preserve the family's reputation. The old guys in the Yingsi family know very well how to make the choice.

But the scum samurai's brother doesn't think so.

He was so angry that he disguised himself as Lin Qiu and burned, killed and looted all day long. He secretly tampered with the wanted procedures followed by Tianling and pushed unfavorable evidence against Lin Qiu himself in order to achieve his revenge.

This is also the reason why the wanted order is so strange. Although he is only a side branch, the impostor is still a noble of Tianling after all, so it is not difficult for him to do some small tricks.

Until this moment, the truth finally came to light.

"Your brother took a child as a hostage. It's already merciful to just kick this disgusting guy's neck and break it. Just let him lie in bed and drink liquid food for the rest of his life." Lin Qiu's expression became more serious. He pointed at the counterfeit's nose and said, "And you, framing me is fine, but in the process of framing me, you hurt and killed many innocent people. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Linghua was also indignant and added: "Compared to your conscious brother, the grassroots soldier who tore off your clothes is still unconscious, and the other people you persecuted are the most pitiful - are you still a shogunate noble like this?"

There are not many people in the entire Inazuma community who can make the gentle Princess Bai Lu so angry.

The counterfeit said unconvincingly: "Those peasants? Ha, they are just consumables. The lives of peasants are not as important as my revenge!"

Suddenly, Lin Qiu raised his leg and kicked the impostor in the chin. A bloody tooth flew out of the impostor's mouth and fell on the tatami in the tea room.

"I'm sorry, Ayaka-chan," Lin Qiu said, "I made your tea room floor dirty."

"It's okay, Mr. Lin." Linghua responded, "Please continue, just don't go too far."

It is also a very important step to temporarily spare the life of the impostor, expose his crime to the public and hold a public trial so that he can be insulted and scorned by the people of Inazuma.

Only in this way can we deal a critical blow to the Yingsi family and clear Lin Qiu's tarnished reputation.

Hearing the fake's words, Manye was also filled with indignation, and he looked at his friend next to him.

For some reason, the righteous friend A was unusually silent at this moment, with his fists clenched and his eyes determined.

It seems that after witnessing the ugliness of the shogunate nobles with his own eyes, he secretly made up his mind to do "something".

Back to Lin Qiu, although his kick was powerful enough, he showed mercy and only broke the man's teeth and knocked him unconscious, without causing any loss of life.

"What should we do with this guy next?" Lin Qiu asked Princess Bai Lu, "I'm not very good at following the formal procedures, so I'll rely on Miss Linghua from now on."

Linghua thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's contact the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo family first. It is still necessary to notify the superior department of the Takagi family. I believe that the Kujo family will be ruthless in this matter and push the Takagi family to bear all the blame, because they are also afraid of getting burned."

Now, it is the turn of the Yingsi family to become abandoned.

Linghua continued, "I'm not very good at the rest, so I'll leave it to you, my brother. I believe that the people who were hurt and Mr. Lin who was framed will all get a fair result. The Yingsi family will pay a heavy price for the traitor in the family, and the counterfeit will be punished most severely."

The follow-up arrangements were so well made that Lin Qiu completely relaxed. He gave a thumbs up and celebrated the good ending of this troublesome matter.

Kamisato Ayaka blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then imitated the gesture by raising her thumbs.

Chapter 19 Time of Reckoning

The incident of nobles pretending to be ronin and doing evil caused a great response in the shogunate.

The day after the impostor was arrested, with irrefutable evidence, the important figures of the Three Magistrates gathered for a meeting to discuss how to put an end to this troublesome matter.

At the same time, Hayashi and Ayaka were drinking tea in Kamisato's house, feeling relaxed and happy.

After all, they had completed the necessary records and confessions, and Linghua was not a politician and should not have appeared at the Three Commissioners' Meeting.

Lin Qiu also didn't want to attend the boring party of the gentlemen. In comparison, drinking tea and chatting with beautiful girls was the best way to kill time while waiting for good news.

Most importantly, he trusted Kamisato Ayato who was attending the meeting: his brother-in-law was very smart and would definitely be able to bring this mess to a proper end.

That night, Lin Qiu heard a rumor from Thomas - the meeting went very smoothly. It just so happened that the Kujo family and the Takagi family had been at odds recently, and Kujo Takayuki had always wanted to teach his disobedient younger brother a lesson, and this time he had caught him with something.

The Yingsi family was desperate and wanted to cut ties with the two stains in the family, but they were powerless and could only bear all the responsibilities and deal with the aftermath.

After investigation, it was found that the impostor abused his private rights to modify the wanted order, and many retainers and other relevant persons of the Takagi family were involved, and they will also suffer.

In short, the Yingsi family was severely damaged.

As for the biggest winner in this incident, it is Sha Bugyo. As the leader of the Kamisato family who provided evidence to reveal the truth, Kamisato Ayato has a lot of say in the meeting. He can manipulate Tenryo Bugyo to seek benefits for his family without much thinking.

Of course, Ayato did not forget the biggest contributor, Lin Qiu. During the meeting, he not only blamed all the trivial things Lin Qiu had done on the impostor, but also applied for compensation for the false accusation on him, and had Tianling Bugyo pay a large sum of compensation to Lin Qiu.

Because the meeting went smoothly, the shogunate nobles did not want things to continue to ferment, so on the second day of the meeting, the third day after the impostor was arrested, they started the liquidation directly.

The first step was to build a wooden platform on the street, escort the counterfeit culprit up, reveal his crime evidence, and prove the innocence of the victim Lin Qiu.

After hearing the truth, the citizens who had been shrouded in fear for a long time finally put their minds at ease and began to vent their emotions, throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at the counterfeits.

Then, the must-try Inazuma specialty, bowed and apologized - the head of the Takagi family, Takagi Susumu, even though he was already old, had to come to the stage and bow in public:

"I'm very sorry that such a beast has appeared in our family. From now on, I will supervise the family well..."

Afterwards, the little beast committed seppuku to apologize, and the old man drew his sword and chopped off his head, achieving the effect of physically cutting off the stain.

Of course, children cannot watch such scenes. Today, all the children in the city are locked up at home.

The street was crowded and bustling, but Lin Qiu was sitting in an izakaya with no other customers. Opposite him sat Kujo Sara with a serious look on his face.

"Miss Sha Luo has been busy since yesterday to deal with these matters. It's not easy." Lin Qiu pushed the wine glass towards her. "The sake here tastes very good, sweet and delicious, and can even relieve the spiciness. Have a glass to reward your tired body and mind."

The female Tengu with short black hair shook her head and said, "Although it's rest time now, I will be back to work soon, so please don't drink. Also, I must apologize to you for blaming the incident on the failure of the Tenryo Bugyo to supervise. As the Tenryo Bugyo General..."

"Don't be so serious, Miss Sha Luo, I don't think it's your fault that you were framed." Lin Qiu took back the wine glass and drank it all. "If you still feel guilty, just think of it this way: you helped to cover up the imperial meal, right? We are even now."

"Speaking of the imperial meal, don't do this again next time. It's about the general!" Sala's serious expression became even more serious. "If there is a next time, and it involves or even insults the general, I will definitely take fatal measures!"

Although Lin Qiu didn't think that Sha Luo could kill her, General Lei Dian was indeed her Achilles' heel. In order to maintain a good relationship with them, she should not poke her Achilles' heel.

Of course, for example, the job that Qiliangliang loves is also a sore spot. Next time, I will use the cat toy to harass her slowly when the cat is on vacation.

"Okay." Lin Qiu agreed.

The female tengu's expression changed from serious to relaxed.

After some consideration, Kujo Sara decided to have a drink to congratulate Lin Qiu.

She grabbed the ceramic cup in front of Lin Qiu - the only cup on the table - wiped the rim of the cup with the white cloth on her chest, picked up the wine jug and filled it.

"A toast to you. Congratulations on clearing up the rumors about you and restoring your innocence."

Having said this, Sara drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Qiu felt very relieved in his heart. All the rumors about his evil deeds were cleared up at the apology meeting held at the Yingsi family, and he became an excellent citizen again.

Not only that, Mora had a large sum of money called compensation in his hands. As for how much money he had, it was enough for him to buy a house and marry a wife in the wealthy Liyue Port.

Suddenly, a large number of customers poured into the izakaya.

It was probably an apology meeting outside, and the show temporarily entered the intermission. The spectators who were watching the show in the sun were thirsty, so they came in to buy some drinks to cool off.

Not many people have actually seen Lin Qiu's face, and no one noticed that the protagonist of the incident, Lin Qiu, was in the izakaya.

People were talking about this matter.

"It turns out that Ronin Lin Qiu was framed, and the culprit is a noble. How terrible!"

"I heard that the impostor was caught by Lin Qiu himself alone, just the night before yesterday."

"There's something wrong with your information. I heard that they worked together with Princess Egret to capture him."

"It is said that Lin Qiu and the Society Minister have a good relationship."

"You know what? I heard from my uncle who works in the shogunate that the head of the shrine is going to let the ronin Hayashige marry into the Kamisato family in order to reward his heroic performance!"

"Really? This kid is enjoying great fortune! Not only was he promoted to a noble, but he is also with Princess Bai Lu..."

Although the bad rumors disappeared, strange gossips continued to emerge, most of which were groundless and nonsensical legends made up by citizens for entertainment.

Who doesn’t like a dramatic story? In such a depressing wartime environment, the birth of rumors with entertaining nature was inevitable.

"It's getting more and more outrageous." Kujo Sara wiped the rim of the glass again and pushed the glass back to Lin Qiu.

"I don't care. As a ronin who often seeks death and stirs up trouble, I'm tired of hearing these rumors." Lin Qiu filled the glass with wine and drank it all in one gulp. "I just hope these rumors won't affect Miss Linghua."

He had no intention of watching the public trial until its end. He just wanted to say goodbye to Sara, return to Kamisato House, sleep happily, and live a carefree and peaceful life.

……

The Fatui's secret intelligence house.

Due to the fall of the Takagi family, the clerical staff in the intelligence room were running around like headless flies. They were busy sorting out various documents, updating the relationships between the various Inazuma families in the documents, and even had to re-formulate plans to win over the Inazuma nobles.

It’s like an accountant who has worked so hard to calculate the accounts, only to find out that two cents don’t match, making all previous efforts go to waste. It’s extremely painful.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, causing all the clerical staff to stop their work at the same time.

They trembled and said, "Disperse, sir, the scattered soldiers!"

A young man with purple hair and purple eyes wearing a bamboo hat slowly walked to the table full of documents. Everyone was afraid of this surly executive and everyone was silent.

The documents on the table were all about the counterfeit incident, which was sorted out by the Fatui's intelligence personnel stationed in Inazuma after working overtime all night.

Sanbing turned into a desktop cleaning master, waving his hand to push all the important documents off the table, leaving only the information about Lin Qiu. He picked up the paper and glanced at it casually.

"Ronin Lin Qiu, hum, interesting."

Chapter 20 Linghua's Socks (First Update)

Three days have passed since the counterfeit incident ended, and the waves it caused have gradually subsided.
