Tianling follows it.

"Your Excellency, I am just following your orders. I really don't know what the Fatui are..."

"I am innocent too... I really don't know anything about the Fatui..."

"Behave yourself, everyone. Don't think you can deceive the general. Take him away, take him away—"

......

After Mei Raiden left, Kujo Kamajima, who temporarily took over the duties of the head of the family, began to carry out a large-scale arrest operation against those who had contact with the Fatui through letters and denunciations.

Although doing so would have a huge impact on the stability of the Kujo family, and the Shogun left without giving such an order, Kujo Kamajui knew very well that the existence of the Kujo family now depended entirely on the Shogun's decision, so he had to let the Shogun see his great determination in dealing with the collusion between the Kujo family and the Fatui.

No matter who it is, as long as they have had abnormal contact with the Fatui, they will be taken away directly. It is better to arrest the wrong person than to let him go.

Only in this way can the Kujo family continue to exist.

Otherwise...sigh...

Looking at all this, Kujo Kamajima on the side did not think about it any further but sighed helplessly. He never thought that there would be such a day in the Kujo family.

But now that things have come to this, he can only try his best to satisfy the Shogun and save the Kujo family.

"Master, the doctor has arrived and is currently treating Master Kujo Sara."

Just then, a soldier came up to him and reported about Kujo Sara.

"Has she woken up?" Kujo Kamajiro was still very concerned about Kujo Sara.

"No." The soldier answered quickly.

"I understand. Tell me immediately if there is any new situation."

"Yes, Master—"

The soldier left again after receiving the order.

Hey...what happened here? The power just now is gone...

Wendy, who was hiding in a high place and watching the situation in Tianling Fengxing Mansion, also looked confused.

When he arrived here just now, the power had disappeared, but the situation in the Tianling Fengxing Mansion aroused his interest.

A large number of soldiers were going in and out, and soon they captured many people one after another. Some people were still shouting that they had nothing to do with the Fatui even after being captured.

Wendy was no stranger to the Fatui, but he really didn't expect that the Fatui's hand had reached out to Inazuma, who was still in a closed-off country. This surprised him very much.

Moreover, the inexplicable terrifying force just now also appeared here, so Wendy felt that it might be the Fatui's doing.

But then there are a few strange questions. Why did the Tenryo Bugyo suddenly arrest those who had contact with the Fatui? Who was the owner of that power just now? What did he do here?

Logically speaking, if the Fatui were causing trouble here, the Tianling Buging should have captured the Fatui, and there would have been a high probability of a fierce battle. However, not only was there no trace of the Fatui, there was not even a trace of the battle left.

So why did that power appear here? What is Tianling Fengxing doing?

Wendy really couldn't figure out what was going on here.

Originally, he wanted to ask the soldiers at the door, but not only did they not answer him, they almost arrested him.

"Barbatos——"

Just when Wendy was still wondering what happened here, Morax's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Morax? It seems that you were also attracted by that power, but it had disappeared when I arrived." Turning around, Wendy shrugged helplessly at Morax.

"What are they doing? What does it have to do with the Fatui?" Although Morax had sensed the disappearance of the power on the way, he did not expect that Barbatos, who arrived faster than him, did not know the current whereabouts of the power. However, he also noticed something unusual in the Tianling Fengxing Mansion at this time, and heard someone calling the Fatui, which made him feel that things were not simple.

"I don't know either. They didn't tell me and almost caught me." Shaking her head, Wendy told Morax what had just happened.

"Then let's go in and ask—"

"Okay... huh? You want to just barge in?"

Unexpectedly, Morax still wanted to go in after hearing what he said, so Wendy subconsciously thought that he wanted to rely on divine power to break in directly.

"Walk in, don't break in, follow me--"

After showing the amulet and pass in his hand to Wendy, Morax jumped down from a high place and walked towards the door of Tenryo Bugyo.

What is that...?

With such doubts in mind, Wendy also jumped down.

"Stop, no one outside is allowed to..."

"We are here on behalf of Narukami Taisha Shrine."

Before the soldier at the door could finish his words, Morax had already taken out the amulet and pass that Yae Shinto had just given him and showed them to him.

"This is... Sir... Please allow me to report this to Lord Fengxing."

"Um--"

After seeing the two things in Morax's hand, the soldier immediately became respectful. After receiving Morax's response, he hurried to the Tianling Fengxing Mansion.

"Sir, someone has arrived from Narukami Taisha Shrine and is now at the gate." The soldier quickly came to Kujo Kamajiro and reported to him what happened at the gate.

Narukami Taisha? Could it be related to the owner's affairs?

When he heard that someone was coming from Narugami Taisha, Kujo Kamajima's heartbeat accelerated. Now because of the Kujo family's affairs, he was already on edge, and any disturbance outside would make him extremely nervous.

But he couldn't think too much now, he had to go and meet the other person as soon as possible.

"I see--"

After saying that, Kujo Kamajima hurriedly walked towards the door.

-------------------------------------

Survey and implementation.

"General... General... I didn't know you were coming here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope..."

"How are the sales of crystallized bone marrow? You made a lot of money, right?"

In response to Shinsuke Hiiragi's flattery, Mei Raiden simply sneered and quickly asked back.

After asking Shinsuke Hiiragi about the lady's location, Mei Raiden will immediately go to Kagemukai Mountain to chat with the Son of God and then go to find the lady for a sparring match. She knows that Morax and Venti are now with the Tenryo Bugyo.

238~But I look like this——

"Crystal... Crystallized bone marrow?" When he heard General Raiden say this, Hiiragi Shinsuke's heart almost jumped out, but he still pretended to be calm, "General, you misunderstood. The reason why I asked the merchants to exchange taxes for crystallized bone marrow is all for the sword forging of Tenryo Fukyo, not to sell it."

After saying that, Hiiragi Shinsuke smiled at Raiden Mei, without a trace of panic on his face.

But this was only on the surface, in fact, he was already panicking inside. But he knew very well that before the general was really sure of what he had done, he could not reveal any flaws.

zizi——

Boom——

"Oh? Really?" With a slight smile, Mei Raiden stretched out her hand and condensed several lightning bolts in her palm, then quickly held them and suddenly changed the subject amid a thunderclap, "Tell me the lady's location. Don't think I don't know what shameful things you and the Fatui have done."

"I...I...don't know what you are talking about, will..."

zizi——

boom--

Before Shinsuke Hiiragi could finish his words, he was thrown backwards uncontrollably with a flash of lightning and hit the wall hard.

"what sound?"

"There...there are assassins?"

"Follow me, and protect Lord Bugyo—"

......

As the sound of collision was heard, the guards in the Kanjo Bugyo Palace were immediately attracted over.

But when they arrived at the place where the sound came from, they were all shocked by the scene before them.

Lord Fengxing was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. The general, who had arrived here at some point, was looking at him with a cold face.

What on earth...happened?

Seeing all this, the guards who rushed over looked at each other in bewilderment, having no idea what was going on, and they didn't dare to step forward to ask the general.

Originally they thought it was an assassin or something else happened, but what they didn't expect was that this was actually related to the General and the Lord.

For a moment, although the Kanjo Bugyo Mansion was crowded with people, it was eerily quiet. No one dared to speak, and even their breathing was cautious.

"Hiiragi Shinsuke, you deceived your superiors and subordinates, levied heavy taxes, and used the isolation order to enrich yourself. You colluded with the fools and made a fortune from the war. What else do you have to say?"

Seeing that all the soldiers were attracted, Mei Raiden listed the crimes committed by Shinsuke Hiiragi in front of them.

Lord Fuxing...actually colluded with the Fatui? ?

The soldiers all knew what the general said before. Whether it was collecting heavy taxes or using the isolation order to enrich themselves, it was an open secret, and many people even participated in it. But as for the collusion between the general and the fools, many people didn't even know about it, let alone think about it. It was really too shocking for them.

"What happened...Will...General?"

At this time, Hiiragi Chisato, who heard the sound, was also shocked by the scene inside after squeezing out of the crowd with difficulty.

The father lying on the ground, the general standing beside him with his weapon...

What on earth...happened?

Staring at all this in a daze, Chisato Hiiragi really wanted to know what was going on.

Did my father do something wrong? But why...

"Chisato Hiiragi, it looks like you really want to know what your father did, right?"

Turning around, Mei Raiden glanced at Chisato Hiiragi, who now had a look of confusion and shock on her face.

"Yes... General, I want to know... what did my father... do?"

Not expecting the general to ask him this question suddenly, Hiiragi Chisato was stunned for a moment and then immediately nodded.

"Take a look for yourself--" Just like last time, Mei Raiden used the system to throw all the letters between Shinsuke Hiiragi and the Fatui and the transaction list of crystallized bone marrow to Chisato Hiiragi.

This is...

Looking at the pieces of paper that suddenly fell from the sky, Chisato Hiiragi caught them with her hands and began to read the contents on them.

Fatui? Evil Eye Factory? Crystallized Marrow...

how so?

After reading the above content, Chisato Hiiragi was completely stunned. She never thought that her father would collude with the Fatui.

"Father, why do you..."

"General, please consider that even though I have no merits... I have worked hard... don't... kill me..."

At this time, Shinsuke Hiiragi, who was lying on the ground, finally recovered a little, but he ignored his daughter. Instead, he struggled to get up from the ground and knelt down in front of Mei Raiden.

He knew that it was useless for him to deny it now, and he might even be chopped to death by the general. So he decided to beg for mercy, so that the general would remember his hard work and not choose to kill him.

No matter what, he doesn't want to die now, he wants to continue living.

"Tell me the lady's location, quick—"

Looking at Hiiragi Shinsuke who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy with an indifferent expression, Raiden Mei continued with her previous questions.

"Yes, yes, I'll tell you right away, right away..."

Although the General never said he would spare his life, Hiiragi Shinsuke knew that he had to satisfy the General in order to have a chance of survival.

after awhile.

"Imprison Hiiragi Shinsuke and await processing!"

"Yes, General—"

After receiving the order from the "General", the soldiers took Shinsuke Hiiragi and left for the prison.

"Hiiragi Chisato, you will be the head of the Hiiragi family for now. You must investigate the other fools who are colluding with the Fatui."

"Ah? General...sir?"

When Chisato Hiiragi was still a little distracted by the changes in the Hiiragi family, she was surprised to hear that the general wanted her to temporarily become the head of the Hiiragi family. But before she could say anything, the "general" had already left.
