Then, by gathering evidence against the mastermind, they quickly resolved the predicament faced by the "International Chamber of Commerce".
There were some mishaps along the way, namely underestimating the other party's shamelessness. Fortunately, Thomas revealed his identity, which calmed things down.
The Inatsume people all sighed, saying that the Kansei Magistrate was a real scoundrel, and that it was the White Heron Princess of the Shaburi Magistrate who deserved it.
Lin Qiu's book greatly enhanced the reputation of the publishing house, and the number of supporters increased.
The head of the clan, Hiiragi Shinsuke, cursed the two idiots under his breath.
Even if you want to sabotage foreigners and skim some profit, you should at least do it behind their backs!
You've left the lights on, and you're letting people see! Disgusting, I spit on you, absolutely disgusting! Disgusting!
But before he could even curse, the traveler in the story had already found him.

"Sailing? That's too boring, I'm not interested. But if you're talking about fishing at sea, I'm interested."
"What! How can you say I can't catch fish? That's slander! I can catch even an Osel!"
Chapter 165 Island Turmoil
It turns out that Thomas invited the travelers to the "Wooden Leak Tea House," but did not give them permission to leave the island.
Left with no other option, the traveler had to seek permission from this surveying official.
This censor was clearly not as stupid as his subordinates.
Although he also disliked travelers and didn't want to give them the right to leave the island, he was at least 'lights off'.
Not only did they not explicitly state it, they also praised the traveler, saying that as long as the traveler fulfilled the requirements, they would give her a pass, as if it were a reasonable request.
However, he clearly didn't intend for the traveler to complete his requests quickly. After the traveler finished these tasks, there might be further requests, so he was just dragging things out.
Fortunately, things take a turn for the better. Although Shinsuke Hiiragi doesn't want the travelers to leave the island, her daughter seems to be flirting with them.
Afterwards, he even sent someone to give the traveler an envelope, inviting her to meet him that night.
[Hira Chisato said shyly, "Ah, you've finally arrived... I... my name is Hiiragi Chisato, nice to meet you."]
[Ying: "It's me, please guide me."]
[Hira Chisato quickly waved her hand: "No need...no need to be so polite. I have long admired your deeds, and I'm so glad I finally have this opportunity."]
Paimon: "Hmm? Why does the atmosphere feel a little strange?"
[Hira Chihaya blushed and said cautiously, "The main reason for this secret meeting was... if I missed the opportunity, would I ever be able to tell you again..."]
Not only Paimon found it strange, but the readers also found it somewhat odd.
I'm a botanist, and this must be a lily, right?
Shinjiro's heart skipped a beat. Could it be? Does the young lady like girls?
However, Ms. Hiiragi did not want to date or confess her feelings to the traveler; she sought out the traveler to entrust him with some matters.
Like her father, she also requested that the traveler deliver a letter, but she only asked that he deliver one letter.
Shinjiro breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the young lady doesn't like girls.
The traveler's heart skipped a beat. "Oh no, this Shimohira-san can't have a 'secret rendezvous' with me anymore. How am I going to leave the island?"
Indeed, upon seeing this, Shinsuke Hiiragi decisively ordered his men to lock Miss Hiiragi up.
One more thing worth mentioning is that Hiiragi Senri revealed that an arrogant woman had chatted with her father.
The two of them were discussing how to confine travelers to the island, and her father appeared very respectful during the conversation.
Rosalyn wasn't angry this time because she had actually done it and wasn't being blamed.
However, Inatsume was very angry because Hiiragi Shinsuke, as one of the three magistrates, was being so respectful to anyone other than the shogun, which was simply outrageous.
The Inatsumi people could tolerate the magistrate temporarily confining travelers to the remote island, but they could not accept that this guy was so respectful to anyone other than the shogun.
I can't read this book for even a second longer! This is disrespectful to the General!
“The investigation is to be carried out…” Kujo Sara was very dissatisfied.
As the Third Commissioner, you only need to be respectful to the General. How could there be a second person in this world who needs your utmost respect?
She was unaware that her own family head's "Heavenly Decree" was no better.
Before even reading the rest of the content, the Inatsume people on the outlying island were already making a fuss, and even the Inatsume people outside the island were discussing it.
Although some of the general's decisions were indeed not very good, Narukami's status in their hearts has never declined.
As one of the three commissioners, wielding a significant portion of Inazuma's power, how dare you be so respectful to anyone other than the Shogun!?
Okay, then the more respectful you are to her and the more obedient you are to her, the less likely we are to let you have your way! Travelers must leave the island!
Otherwise, we'll have to—start an uprising!
The travelers on the ship were still worrying about how to leave the island. They couldn't exactly cause a scene to get out, could they? They'd be wanted by the police, wouldn't they?
Although Yingmei in the story is always wanted by the police, in reality, thanks to Lin Qiu's prophecy, she cleared up the misunderstanding in advance, and her journey was quite smooth, and she was never wanted by the police.
So, after considering how to leave without causing a ruckus, the traveler finally realized that the Thomas route was the only option he could take advantage of.
Leaving the island is Thomas's test for her! Can she skip class like this?
She was unaware that Inazuma had already started making a scene, and that Inazuma's departure from the island was already a done deal, so there was no need to send a letter.
While some Inatsumi people put down their books and started making a fuss, others continued reading, such as Shinnojo.
Because he discovered that he himself appeared in the book.
He served as one of Hiiragi Senri's bodyguards when Hiiragi Senri left the island.
[Chisato Hiiragi: "Wait a minute, is this shipment... destined for Umijima?"]
[Shin-no-jo: "Young lady! What brings you here? You're right, this shipment was specifically instructed by the Commissioner of Surveying and Mapping to be delivered to Haige Island intact."]
Haegeji Island! Another big scoop!
Currently, Umijima and Inazuma are enemies, and Inazuma's three magistrates even have dealings with Umijima.
Kujo Sara was overjoyed; her duty as the Tenryo magistrate was finally here.
I was dissatisfied with the Kancho Envoy before, but the Kancho Envoy was just being respectful to others. Although I was dissatisfied, it didn't break the law.
But this time it's different; this already raises suspicions of treason, and arrest can be carried out.
Given the influence of prophetic books today, they could easily be used as evidence for arrests.
Moreover, even without using the prophecy as evidence, it doesn't matter. Every contact leaves a trace. Delivering goods from the outlying island to Haizhi Island would definitely leave evidence; it's just that no one has investigated in this direction before.
After all, who would have thought that someone who controlled almost a third of the country's power would collude with the enemy?
Even if it's not material aid, you can't do business with them. Who are you?
"It's over, it's all over." Shinsuke Hiiragi covered his head, seemingly suffering from a splitting headache.
Forget about his position as a magistrate, he'd be locked up in jail for life once the story is exposed. He never expected Lin Qiu to write the story of Inazuma so quickly.
Isn't Inazuma a country that's closed off from the world? Why are you writing about Inazuma when you have nothing better to do?
Although it was his daughter who revealed this information, Shinsuke Hiiragi was not angry with her, because these were decisions he made himself.
He knew that this kind of thing would happen the moment he chose a side to reap the benefits, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Well, at least we locked up Chisato. She probably didn't see what was inside..." Shinsuke Hiiragi sighed.
"Guards, burn this book! The Hiiragi family cannot allow this book to appear!" Hiiragi Shinsuke ordered.
At least his daughter can't see it, otherwise she might think it's her fault.
The Hiiragi family members are still quite obedient, after all, Shinsuke Hiiragi is still the head of the Hiiragi family.
However, his position as head of the family won't last long. Once the Heavenly Envoy comes to arrest him, other families will try to overthrow him.
However, on the Tenryo Magistrate's side, Kujo Sara was looking at the head of the Kujo family in disbelief.
She proposed arresting and investigating the magistrate, but this was rejected by the Tenryo Magistrate, who was also the head of the Kujo family.
Is this still the head of the Kujo family? Are you afraid of the Kansei Magistrate, or the person behind him?

Chapter 166 Three Wishes
Haigijima did not react much to the matter of the Kansei-gyō (military commissioner).
They themselves didn't have enough respect for the Raiden General, and could only lament that the Shogunate army was indeed unreliable.
Xin Hai was somewhat puzzled. Had the Kan Ding Feng Xing (a high-ranking official in charge of military affairs) ever delivered goods to them? It should be the She Feng Xing (another high-ranking official in charge of military affairs) who had dealings with them.
Lin Qiucai has only just begun writing the story of Inazuma, and Inazuma is already in a state of chaos.
I don't know if it's because Lin Qiu's book is so powerful, or because Inazuma has been harboring resentment for a long time, or because the matter of the Kansei-bōshō has angered both heaven and man.
Anyway, apart from Inatsume, people from other countries didn't really feel anything; they continued reading the story and witnessed the bittersweet unrequited love of a pure-hearted boy.
Before departure:
[Shin-no-jo: "Alright, Miss, it's a great honor to accompany you... I will protect you with my life."]
When encountering monsters:
"Priority protection for Miss! Miss Qianli, please stay by my side."
After finding out who the letter Hiiragi Senri sent was for.
"No, Miss must have ulterior motives, right? And who is this Kamaji you mentioned...?"
[Hira Chisato: "To be frank... she's the one I love."]
Shinjiro was stunned, and after a long while, he finally put down the book in his hand. "I should have known..."
"Kujou Kamaji, I hope you won't let the young lady down..." Shinnojo lamented.
The story was seen by everyone in Teyvat, but his secret crush never became an open one.
Because only his beloved did not see this story, and perhaps this matter will remain hidden in his heart forever, becoming an 'open secret'.
"That's really bold..." Ayaka Kamisato covered her mouth.
As the eldest daughter of the same three magistrate families, Ayaka Kamisato wondered if she would have the courage.
This short story resonated with some people who had similar experiences, but most people were more interested in what came next.
The traveler in the story arrives at the Wooden Leak Tea House, the place Thomas brought her to.
Upon entering the wooden tea room, Thomas was nowhere to be seen, but a dog was sitting on the counter.
Paimon: "Didn't that guy Thomas keep his promise?"
【???:“Who says no one keeps their promises? I should be saddened that you've forgotten me.”】
Paimon: "W-What's going on? Did the dog talk?!"
【? ? ?: "Hahaha...nothing to be surprised about, this is probably the first time you've seen me like this, right?"】
"Hmm... Haven't you seen anything similar in Liyue?"
The people of Liyue were astonished. Could this Toma also be a celestial being? The description of his appearance didn't seem to suggest it, and he didn't even look like a Liyue person.
Right, it seems like Inazuma's yokai can be like this too... Eh? No... Is that right? No, no, his appearance doesn't seem to be that of an Inazuma person.
Thomas quickly revealed the truth: he had been hiding behind the scenes, playing a double act.
People were disappointed, thinking there was some hidden meaning in you, but it turned out you were just being silly.
