"what's the result?"

Upon hearing that there was a door, Yae Shinto perked up and asked Jiang Ming with great interest.

"Most of the shrine magistrates have no serious problems, so we don't plan to investigate further. The few remaining have been controlled. We have retained 19 former shogunate shrine magistrates who have passed the review and have outstanding abilities, including the Kamisato siblings."

In other words, excluding the Kamisato siblings, there are only 17 people?

Such a big community magistrate, one of the three major magistrates of Inazuma, but only 17 people can stay?

Yae Shenzi subconsciously asked: "Isn't it a bit too little?"

"It's a lot. We want people with clean backgrounds and outstanding abilities. The review of Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo is almost done. If nothing unexpected happens, the total number will not reach this number."

In the entire shogunate, there may be less than 36 people who meet the requirements.

Yae Shinto had a complicated look on his face, but he didn't say much.

According to their standards, most of the shogunate bureaucrats were eliminated because of their clean background, and they also had outstanding abilities.

I've heard that they have high demands, and today I finally saw it for myself.

"What are you going to do with the two Kamisato brothers and sisters?"

"They..."

Jiang Ming recalled the characteristics of each of them.

"As for Kamisato Ayaka, the White Egret Princess who is loved by the Inazuma people and a lady from a noble family, she should focus on this direction in the future, such as participating in performances, hosting events, etc."

Yae Shinko nodded, expressing her approval.

It's really a good idea and fits very well.

But soon, his expression became strange again.

“Does this count as debuting as an idol?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ming's expression also became a little strange.

He also recalled the case where Kamisato Ayaka rejected Alice's invitation to become an idol six times.

"It probably... can't be considered as such." Jiang Ming said hesitantly. "It's still different."

"Anyway, Miss Linghua is multi-talented. Even if she doesn't want to do this, she will be able to do another job."

He wasn't too worried about Kamisato Ayaka.

Yae Shinko knew this, so she didn't dwell on it any more and continued to ask, "What about Ayato?"

"As for him, we are planning to set up a new organization, which is positioned as a special department of multiple countries. I plan to let him be the director. It just so happens that he has the final branch under him, so we can assign him to it, saving the trouble of finding someone."

"A special department jointly established by multiple countries? What is it used for?" Yae Shinko cast a curious look at Jiang Ming.

"Ensure the strategic security of Teyvat and provide immediate logistical support for our operations when necessary."

"……what?"

Yae Shinko's eyes were full of confusion.

I know every one of your characters, why do they become unfamiliar when you put them together?

Has it risen to the level of strategic security of Teyvat so quickly?

"The report of the Fatui attacking the Narukami Shrine has come out. They used the power of the Abyss to distort our elemental power. Yae Miyaji, you don't want the disaster from five hundred years ago to reappear, do you?"

Jiang Ming said this in a tone that was very consistent with where he was, and Yae Shinko shuddered at the mere thought of it.

"Of course not."

Five hundred years ago, she was still a child, an ordinary fox, and couldn't even transform into a human form. All she remembered was that Zhen responded to the call and went to Kanriya, and when Ying rushed over, Zhen was already dying.

After that, Ying became more and more autistic after returning.

"And just now, I received news that the wind dragon that attacked Mondstadt was launched under the control of the Abyss Cult. I don't know what these forces that are hostile to the Teyvat civilization are doing. They should be attacked by all countries in a united way, but they are now active."

"Secondly, there are the Fatui who are acting more and more recklessly. In particular, the doctor's research is openly anti-human. We didn't have the ability to deal with it in the past, but now, we can no longer let it go."

Anyway, they have already formed a feud with the Fatui.

They killed the Fatui's eighth executive officer and severely damaged the sixth executive officer's scattered soldiers, while the Fatui wiped out an entire company of their troops in a lightning speed and stole the Heart of Thundergod.

Yae Shinko understood.

Unite the forces of other countries in Teyvat, declare war on the Cult of the Abyss and the Fatui - at least part of the Fatui - and fight against them in order to maintain the survival and security of Teyvat's existing civilization.

Needless to say, the Cult of the Abyss is the public enemy of the surface civilization of Teyvat. The Fatui... have an arrogant and domineering style, increasingly distorted behavior, and have always had a bad reputation. Officials from various countries also have an attitude of both vigilance and cooperation.

In other countries, it is difficult for Inazuma's army to operate, but if it is an organization that has close ties with the local area and may even be inseparable from the local departments, it is a different matter.

"It just so happens that some people in some countries don't trust us and are afraid that we will take the opportunity to spread something to them. So let Kamisato Ayato, the former magistrate of the company, do it. If we can distinguish them, I think we will make better progress than we are doing now."

"Oh, by the way, the Special Affairs Department that will take over your duties will probably be incorporated into the team later."

Jiang Ming looked at the expression of sudden enlightenment on the face of Yae Shen Zi and added another sentence.

This department is expected to be responsible for finding some hidden clues, or finding some secrets and technologies left over from ancient civilizations, so as to find answers to questions that he does not know.

Yae Shinto counted the functions one by one carefully and found that if calculated in this way, this was not a small department.

This will be a super agency covering multiple countries.

"What are you going to call the new department?"

"Since the original intention is to protect human civilization, like a shield, why not just call it S.H.I.E.L.D."

When it was mentioned, the name immediately popped into Jiang Ming's mind.

Yae Shinko didn't think there was any problem with it. On the contrary, she thought it was very vivid and had no objection to it.

"Come to think of it, I have something else to do here. I was just about to look for you and Ying. Since you are here, I would like to trouble you to pass on a message."

"what's up?"

"We have almost gathered all the clues. It's time for the public trial we promised."

Yae Kamiko was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was referring to Kujo Takayuki, Hiiragi Shinsuke and the others.

There were also a bunch of other miscellaneous people.

"Well, it's time for them to get on the road."

Yae Shinko is not as soft-hearted as Lei Dianying, and still wants to spare their lives.

To her, it doesn't matter whether these people live or die.

"I'll help you convey it."

"Not only that, there's more."

Jiang Ming signaled Yae Shinko to put his ear closer.

Soon, Yae Shinto looked at Jiang Ming in horror.

"You really dare to think so?!"

"What else? Inazuma City has been relatively peaceful these days, but then rumors started to spread and couldn't be suppressed. It's time to give an explanation. Let's take this opportunity."

"Let me make it clear first. I am only responsible for conveying the message. Whether or not you agree to it is not my responsibility."

"Row."

Chapter 231 The court trial starts!

Not long after a series of news about the Mond dragon disaster, news about Inazuma came out again.

Two weeks later, a lawsuit will be formally filed and a public trial will be held in the castle tower square against a group of criminals led by the Inazumahara shogunate's Tenryo Bugyo Kujo Takayuki and Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi Shinsuke.

For a moment, people's attention returned to Inazuma again.

The last time a member of a country's former government was publicly tried, the last time a country's ruler was publicly tried, was probably when Mondstadt overthrew the old aristocracy.

It has a history of hundreds of years.

Many people feel that they are very lucky to be able to witness this scene that is only seen once in a hundred or even a thousand years in the short few decades of their lives.

Although the popularity is not as high as before, it has inspired quite a number of people to take action.

They plan to come to the scene to witness the scene with their own eyes.

Most of them were unable to witness the overthrow of the shogunate by Inazuma's resistance army due to the isolation order and thunderstorms, but they couldn't miss it this time.

These people are also the first batch of foreign tourists since Inazuma lifted the lockdown order. Most of those who came before were reporters and others who came for work.

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

The majority of people here are from Fontainebleau.

After all, Fontaine is a country of justice, and trial is an indispensable serious entertainment activity in the daily life of the people of Fontaine.

Even the "court" of Fontaine is located in the Obicle Opera House.

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

This time, Inazuma not only dealt with the old ruler in the form of a trial, but the crimes committed by the defendant were unprecedented in the history of Fontaine and were also rare in the known history of Teyvat.

They directly led to the turmoil of a country, plunged tens of millions of people into poverty, displaced millions of people from their homes, and caused hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect deaths.

This is much bigger than the serial disappearance of young girls case.

Such great fun is not to be missed for many wealthy and free people in Fontaine.

The Fontaine Steam Bird Newspaper even sent out their ace reporter Charlotte directly, striving to make the most eye-catching report at the first time.

Seeing that the number of people applying to come was increasing, Jiang Ming and others simply built several hotels near the castle tower square. They were all uniform medium and high-rise buildings, which would be convenient for those who could not squeeze in when the time came.

As time passed, soon, the moment of judgment came.

This is a court specifically used to try main criminals 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, sat in the front row, not far from Jiang Ming and others. She seized the opportunity before the meeting officially started to request an interview.

"Of course, but today is the day to examine these main criminals. There will be a press conference tomorrow morning and a meeting in the afternoon. So the morning after tomorrow will be better."

"Really? That would be great!"

There are a lot of people from Shin Inazuma and ICP who want to interview them now, but no one has been granted permission yet, and we haven’t even been able to meet in person.

I didn’t expect that I was not only allowed to be interviewed, but it was even an exclusive interview after just asking casually. My luck is so good!

"Then there are Ms. Xinhai, Mr. Wulang, and the others, can they also...?!"

"You need to ask them yourself."

Jiang Ming touched the two of them, signaling them to respond.

"I can do that. As for the time, why not do it the afternoon after tomorrow?"

"As for me, forget it. I'm just a fighter. If you interview me, I don't know what to say."

Xinhai agreed, but Wulang declined.

Charlotte didn't dare to ask any further questions about this.

It was surprising to get their permission. That was enough! She was afraid that if she continued to ask questions, it would cause unpleasantness and the interview would be cancelled.

but……

Charlotte glanced at Yae Shinko and Lei Diandian who were standing beside the others.

What are the identities of these two people, and how could they sit together with Jiang Ming and others?

Charlotte, who had just arrived, had no idea that he was the famous general of Inazuma, nor could she see the nameplate on the table in front of her.

Before Charlotte could ask further questions, in the temporary court below, Kujo Takayuki was brought to the defendant's seat, and then the voice of the presiding judge opening the court was heard from the direction of the bench.

Charlotte could only stop asking questions and concentrate on her work.

In order to prepare for this moment of appearance in front of the entire people of Teyvat, the detention center provided these main criminals who were almost certain to die with richer food than that for ordinary prisoners, for fear that they would become hungry and thin and then be accused of abusing prisoners in the future.

Kujo Takayuki knew that he would die, and he was also prepared to face death.

After learning that the people of Kaigi Island were not interested in implicating others, he felt relieved when he learned that although his Kujo family would find it difficult to make achievements in his career, they would not be implicated too much.

The shogunate was gone, and from the moment the Kaigi army rose up, he no longer expected the Kujo family to remain the same as it was when he was in power. It would be great if he could stay alive without being liquidated.
