Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

He even thought that Inazuma opened the country's borders in order to embezzle the assets of overseas merchants like them, but there was more than one ship from their Feiyun Chamber of Commerce in the entire port, so why were the others fine?

Is it because the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce’s ship is loaded with food?

If the Inazuma officials cannot give an explanation, then this incident will escalate into a serious diplomatic issue. When I return to Liyue, I will definitely report to the Seven Stars and ask for a reasonable explanation.

But the biggest problem now is that the merchant ship has been seized, and he has such a large group of people waiting to go home. It is a difficult problem how to take them away from Inazuma without being discovered.

"It's normal that you can't figure it out, because the reasons are all in this account book." Lu Sheng threw the pirate account book on the table and explained: "This is what Manye and I found in the pirate cabin. The reason why the Kanjo Bugyo is so abnormal is in it. You will understand everything at a glance."

Everyone gathered around at once.

Kamisato Ayaka opened the account book, read a few pages, and her brows furrowed more and more.

"What a wicked Kanjo Bugyo! He actually colluded with the Yabushi and Kairangui to rob the people! And he even shared the spoils with them!"

These words shocked the whole audience.

Thomas couldn't believe it. In his heart, he actually approved of the Kanpaku. If what Ayaka said was true, then the authority that the shogunate had accumulated with great difficulty would completely collapse.

"Miss! Don't talk about this kind of thing casually!"

"The evidence is right here in this account book! It's clearly recorded! If you don't believe me, you can read it for yourself!"

Thomas immediately took the account book and flipped through it page by page, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

"It's actually true! But why would they do this?"

After thinking for a while, Goro expressed his opinion: "I have some idea about this, because I was a member of the resistance army and lived on Umi Island for a long time. Due to the problems left over from the past, the residents there and the residents of Narukami Island have never been able to regard each other as compatriots. This phenomenon is also scattered on various islands of Inazuma. The people there have been separated from Narukami Island for too long and have become alienated from the local islanders."

"However, since taking office, the Kanpaku has been trying to unite the people of the entire Inazuma Islands. He has used various methods, but the results have not been very good."

"I guess that perhaps the purpose of the collusion between the shogunate and the bandits is to use force to force the residents scattered on the outer islands to migrate to Mingjin Island and achieve the goal of unification."

Xiao Gong slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Unifying Inazuma is a good thing! But how can such an extreme method be used? I have seen with my own eyes those villages looted by pirates! The scenes I saw can only be described as purgatory on earth! Now you tell me that these things are secretly condoned or even supported by the shogunate? No! I can't accept it!"

Kamisato Ayaka, the backbone of the Alliance, took all the events into consideration, reflected on herself, and came up with a rational analysis.

"Don't be impatient. Apart from her strong desire for power, the Chancellor has always done a good job in other aspects. I don't believe that this order was issued by her. It must be a secret conspiracy by several ministers to complete the task."

"Who cares who gave the order?"

Xiaolong and Shuisheng suddenly jumped up, looking as aggressive as if they wanted to kill someone.

"I originally thought that my brother was destined to die tragically at the hands of pirates, but I never thought... this was actually a man-made disaster! My brother's death was caused by you, the Inazuma people!"

“Master Xingqiu! We are not going back to Liyue! I will stay in Inazuma! No matter who is behind this, whether it’s the Three Magistrates or the Kanpaku, I will seek justice for Xiaohu!”

Xingqiu's brain seemed to be about to explode, and he hurriedly advised: "Calm down, both of you! Things are still unclear, and impulsiveness won't solve anything!"

While Xingqiu was busy stopping the two people who were getting angry, Kamisato Ayaka looked at Lu Sheng who had been standing silently beside them.

"Do you... have any ideas?"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, "Political matters are not something that can be figured out by personal thoughts. Instead of discussing who is right and who is wrong here, it is better to spread this scandal directly and see how this powerful kanpaku handles it."

Linghua agreed with this statement very much because it coincided with what she was thinking.

Only by spreading this matter can we shake the sun-like status of the Kanpaku in the hearts of the Inazuma people.

No matter who is behind this incident, Suzuka Gozen has to deal with it.

The Kanjo Bugyo was in the center of the storm and was bound to be implicated.

Kidomaru must make sacrifices.

If Suzuka Gozen pretends to be dead in order to protect her, her credibility in the eyes of the Inazuma people will continue to decline as public opinion spreads.

This is a win-win plan for the Alliance.

Anyway, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

As the former shrine's retainer, Princess Shirasagi, although Ayaka's family has fallen into decline, her previous connections are still there, and some people actually oppose the Kanpaku, but they dare not speak out because of violent oppression.

We can take this opportunity to unite these forces and strengthen our own strength.

"This is indeed the best solution. I will send someone to do it right away. Let's just wait and see how the Chancellor handles this matter."

Overnight, sudden rumors began to spread on Narukami Island.

Shocked! The shogunate actually allowed the wild sea demons to rob the people of their own country! Split the profits 50-50? Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? The truth is...

Needless to say, the title of this rumor was originated by Lu.

"I was wondering why there were so many pirate robberies... This is not surprising..."

"Yes, my Inazuma Navy is invincible. How could we not be able to wipe out a small group of pirates?"

"What do you know? This is called nurturing the enemy to protect oneself. If all the pirates are wiped out, who will pay for the military expenses next year?"

"This is too much! If you and I don't speak up today, the pirates' knives will fall on our own heads tomorrow!"

"What a bunch of idiots! You believe such things? It's obvious that it's a rumor spread by foreign forces! It must be the work of the Fatui! Every one of you who believes it is a traitor!"

.......

Inazuma Castle, Kanpaku Palace.

The secret imperial meeting was opened urgently, and all three Inazuma magistrates were present.

Only the Chancellor did not show up.

Everyone was used to it. Since the Chancellor took office, she had never appeared at such a meeting.

But she was not absent.

A huge screen ran across the center of the room, separating the regent from the officials.

The graceful and imaginative figure in the center of the screen is Suzuka Gozen.

Ordinary people are not qualified to see the Kanpaku's face unless she summons them personally. Otherwise, even if they catch a glimpse of his shadow, it would be an ultimate honor that they can brag about.

Kidomaru remained silent, kneeling in front of the screen for several hours.

The meeting didn't officially begin until the late Yae Goddess stepped into the room.

Crow Tengu was the first to attack, pointing at Kidomaru who was kneeling on the ground and cursing: "Kidomaru! What on earth are you doing?! Do you know how the rumors outside are spreading now? You are simply a disgrace to the shogunate! You are only bringing shame to the Kanpaku-sama!"

Faced with direct abuse, Kidomaru did not refute, but simply lowered his body even lower, as if this could express his apology to the Kanpaku even more.

Otakemaru, who was tall and had an extraordinary majestic aura, leaned against the wall like a giant bear, with his arms folded across his chest, standing aside and looking at them coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Oh my, you really make me worry. I finally get a chance to rest, but something so big happens. Kidomaru, I really don't know what to say to you. You're just as bad as a monster. Even if you're a human, you still do things that are not human."

Yae Kamiko's frivolous tone showed her disdain for Kidomaru, and she showed no restraint at all, not even a hint of acting.

At this time, Kidomaru, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"Lord Kanpaku, the traitor has already jumped out! Tengu is one! And there is also Yaejinko!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent.

Tengu and Yae Shinko's faces darkened instantly.

Tengu asked angrily, "Kidomaru! What do you mean by this? Are you going to put the blame on us for the trouble you caused?"

Yae Shinko was so angry that the hair on her head stood up. "How many times have I told you! Call me Tamamonomae in private! It's annoying enough that I have to play that stinky fox!"

Kidomaru suddenly jumped up from the ground and glared at Tengu and Kamiko.

"Haha! You all know what I mean! I was wrong, but are you really innocent? Let me ask you! Who told me this method of using pirates? And who gave me the evil eye?"

Now Tengu also got furious.

"You wild dog! You're biting people here and there, aren't you? Yes! I came up with the idea! But I only asked you to use pirates to intimidate those people, not to kill people! And I certainly didn't ask you to rob merchant ships! You can't blame me for these things, can you? Everything I did was to relieve the worries of the Kanpaku! When we were suppressing the bandits, hundreds of soldiers under my command died! I don't understand why you have to keep biting me?"

Shen Zi snorted coldly: "I gave you the evil eye, so what? It's just for testing. If you don't use pirates to test it, do you want to use ordinary people?"

Kidomaru then knelt down in front of the Kanpaku and cried, "Kanpaku-sama, did you hear everything? The two of them don't take us, the Kanjo Bugyo, seriously at all. In their eyes, I am just a tool that can be used!"

"I am absolutely loyal to you! What I said today was all from the bottom of my heart! But the two of them! Each of them has their own ulterior motives and their minds are not pure!"

"How can Inazuma become a better person if she is with a worm like this?"

This was already a very serious accusation, and even Otakemaru, who had remained silent, couldn't help but frown.

Not to mention the other two people who were pointed at and scolded.

"Kidomaru! Don't go too far! My patience is limited! Take back what you said immediately and apologize to us! Otherwise..."

"Oh! Apologize? Then it should be you two who should apologize to me!"

Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, the regent behind the screen suddenly burst into applause.

“Excellent, truly a wonderful debate.”

The voice paused for a moment before continuing, "You are all loyal ministers, there are no treacherous ministers, and you all have your own difficulties. I understand."

"Now that things have come to this, what I need is a solution, not to dwell on who is responsible."

Tengu had already prepared a plan before he came, and he immediately answered: "I think the first thing we need to do is to find out the source of the rumors in the city and curb their spread at the source, so I have sent Kujo Sara to track them down, and by evening we should be able to effectively control the spread."

Shenzi then suggested: "Everyone in Inazuma City believes in Mingjin Taisha. I can hold a festival and use magic to brainwash the people so that they will forget about this matter."

Otakemaru agreed, "That's a good idea. Our club will fully cooperate in holding the festival."

After a round of searching, it turned out that only Kidomaru had not prepared a solution.

He froze there, at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, the Kanpaku did not blame him. Instead, he showed considerable tolerance towards him and allowed him to continue to perform his duties as the Kanjo Bugyo.

This was an ending that Kidomaru never dared to imagine in his dreams.

"Thank you, Lord Kanpaku! I will never betray your trust again!"

"Okay, you go back first, and I'll take care of this matter. After so long, there must be a lot of merchant ships piled up at the dock. Let the goods flow quickly and don't let the people go hungry."

Kidomaru was so grateful for Suzuka Gozen's words that he immediately said goodbye to the Kanpaku and went back to continue serving as his magistrate.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

The kneeling figure of Suzuka Gozen stood up and said to the rest of the people calmly, "What are you all doing standing here? Why don't you throw away your dirty gloves and replace them with new ones?"

"What does Kanpaku mean?"

"If you understand, there's no need to ask again. I've already chosen a new mission. Remember to be quick and efficient and don't leave any hidden dangers."

"understand!"

The three people below agreed in unison.

Outlying island, Fengxing Mansion.

Kidomaru returned home laughing and put on the human skin that Ah Huang had repaired.

"Who could have thought that after I had caused such a big disaster, the Kanpaku would still let me continue to be my magistrate? Haha, Ah Huang, you are still smart. Today at the Imperial Meeting, I held on to Tengu and that bitch fox. You didn't see how funny it was. Both of their noses were crooked with anger! Hahahaha!"

However, Ah Huang did not look relieved, but instead had a worried look on his face.

"Master, I think there is something wrong here!"

"Oh? What's the problem?" asked Kidomaru.

"Even if the Kanpaku intends to let the master go, he shouldn't let the master come back as a magistrate. Master, think about it carefully. Now this matter has spread, and the whole Inazuma population is paying attention to it. If the master neither suspends his post to accept investigation nor gives a reasonable explanation, but continues to serve as a magistrate, how can the Kanpaku appease the people's resentment?"

Kidomaru finally came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.

"You mean... the Kanpaku plans to sacrifice me? Why? This isn't my fault alone! Besides, I fought for Inazuma! I shed blood for Inazuma! How could she do this to me?"

Ah Huang shook his head and reminded: "Master, don't you understand yet? It was not Tenryo-no-Mikoto's idea to have secret dealings with pirates! It was... Kanpaku!"

"So it was never those two guys who used me as a tool... I'm still loyal to her! What should I do now? I have nowhere else to go!"

The dog-headed military advisor's eyes rolled and he came up with another plan.

"Why don't we just turn our fake play into reality and go out to sea and become bandits! Anyway, the major pirate leaders are all familiar with us. With the master's ability, there will be no problem for him to become the Pirate King!"

Kidomaru thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Alas, now that things have come to this, this is the only way! I was forced to do this!"

"Let's go! Ah Huang! Go to the sea!"

"What do you mean when you say there's something wrong with Yae-miyaji?"

Inside the secret base, Ayaka takes Lu Sheng to a private place and reveals to him a secret that only very few people know.
