For example, the neighboring Umijima Island, Inazuma accepted them. But you can also see that among these people, there are many people who hate Inazuma. "
"That's right. Even if I knew Gao Tian's secret, it would be useless. But I still want to know!"
"Then it depends on whether you can get Raiden to speak. Or, get that traveler Ying to speak."
"Don't worry, these interesting things should be savored slowly."
"Speaking of which, Lei Dianying is already a mother, but it's a pity that she doesn't know it yet."
"Shouldn't it? I've never heard of General Raiden having close contact with other men."
"Her first prototype doll has already given birth to the concept of 'mother'. Isn't it interesting?"
Yae Shinko's eyes sparkled, and then he said, "This is really interesting. Let me think about how to play it next."
"Hehehe, hahaha!" In this secret place, the man and the fox laughed happily together again.
After arranging everything, Lin Zixuan left the Mingjin Taisha Shrine and frowned.
There is no effective information about what happened 500 years ago from the underground veins, as if they were deleted or contaminated. We can only infer some of the secrets from the words of others.
Is she the incarnation of the World Tree, the Great Compassion Tree King? I have been able to sneak into the World Tree many times to search for secrets and information without being contaminated. Perhaps it is also her credit? But why can't I hear her words?
Why did the Emperor say that the fruit that the ancestor got was the fruit of the Tree of Life instead of the fruit of the World Tree? Are the two the same? Or are they different?
There are too many secrets in the continent of Teyvat. With little Paimon guiding Ying to look into these old stories and dirty accounts, we should be able to figure things out one by one.
Let me see where Paimon is? Uh, why is she still on the island? Didn't they already get in touch with Chisato Hiiragi and leave the island? Could it be that the fire made them rush back to help put out the fire and save people?
Outlying islands.
"Ying, we have been busy for three days and three nights. The fire is basically out. It's time to rest." Paimeng was very sad when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Wait a little longer, some places may come back to life, I'll inspect them again." Ying, with dark circles under his eyes, began to inspect these charcoal ruins.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't told President Kurisu, this wouldn't have happened."
"I can't blame you. You were just following that person's suggestion. Now that it has happened, make up for it!"
"I find it strange that no one died in such a big fire, but all the supplies were burned."
"Some people said they saw a snake-like creature that night, which quickly dragged people away. And those who fainted had no idea what happened. When they woke up, they found themselves lying in the square. There was also a person who was allergic to pollen and said that he fainted after sneezing a dozen times. I guess he did it."
The Kanjo Bugyo Banto came from the front with a group of people.
"Thank you for your hard work, heroes. Leave the patrol to us! You should go and rest."
"I'll take a break after my last round."
"Thank you so much. If you hadn't used rock formations to isolate the fire, I don't know how many houses would have been destroyed. It's a pity that the Eye Hunting Order is in effect here on the outlying islands. Those who once had the Eye of God and were powerful can only help with small tasks like carrying water because they no longer have the Eye of God."
"In other words, if those people still possessed the Eye of God, the fire wouldn't be so big?" Paimon asked.
"Of course. There are two people with Water-attributed Divine Eyes close to the combined level in the outlying islands and surrounding areas. There are six other people with Water-attributed Divine Eyes, and some with Rock-attributed ones. If their Divine Eyes were still there, the fire would definitely not be this fierce."
"Yeah, I thought people looked at us weirdly that night."
“Hahaha, those who don’t know are probably thanking you for stepping forward at the risk of having your Eye of God confiscated.
We have all heard of your deeds. There is a traveler in the Adventurer's Guild who can use elemental power without the Eye of God.
With such a big incident, I don't know how long I can keep this position, so I'll do my best before I leave. Okay, I won't bother you anymore, go back and have a rest!" The leader led the team away.
"There are quite a few good people among the Kanjo Bugyo!" Paimon sighed as he watched them leave.
"That's because he suddenly realized his responsibilities when he was about to lose." A male voice came from the side.
"You big bad guy! It's all your fault!" Paimeng rushed up and started beating Lin Zixuan.
"But he has made enough money, so he just wants to save some face by putting on a show."
"What do you mean?"
"Because nearly 3000 million Moraes go into his pocket every year! Don't be fooled by appearances."
"3000 million Mora?"
"The remote island is the largest trading port in Inazuma, so it must be very lucrative. For soldiers who are used to bullying on the remote islands, how could they not take advantage of the Kanjo Bugyo's support?"
"That's actually the case. I thought he was a very nice guy."
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked, and corruption will often form a large group.
If one person is greedy, then others will be jealous and then they will be bullied by a group of people. But if the greedy person leads a group of people to be greedy and gradually corrupts the will of others, then a huge chain of interests will be formed.
Not to mention that if the person in charge is greedy, then the people below will follow suit.
This incident was not caused by you or me. They just reaped the consequences of their own actions. Don’t take all the blame on yourself.”
"Uh...if we hadn't told President Kurisu, would this have never happened?"
"It will definitely happen. It just won't happen this time. It may happen in ten years, or a hundred years.
But you have to understand that one is like boiling a frog in warm water. If it erupts after being suppressed for hundreds of years, there may be bloodshed and tens of thousands of deaths. Or is it better to erupt now under such controllable circumstances, so that a place can be stable for a hundred years? "
"I always feel like you have no good intentions at all."
"Of course, because this kind of textbook-like thing would be better if it happened in other countries than in Liyue. Let some people in Liyue learn from it. Liyue dealt with that group of termites back then, and a new group of termites is ready to move again."
"Huh, I knew it would be like this."
"You should praise me for my hard work and dedication to Inazuma's well-being..."
"They only know how to flatter themselves. What are the people in Inazuma going to do? All the supplies are gone."
"Liyue's ocean freighter is on its way. As an ally, it wouldn't be a problem for them to support Inazuma, right?"
"Emm... this is still not right! It was you who made Inazuma look like this, and now you are the one selling out Inazuma. What does it feel like? Acknowledging a thief as your father?"
"Paimon, when you see a big firework, do you feel like lighting it?"
"Yes, yes! Are you trying to say that the Inazuma issue was originally a big firework, and you came over and lit it? That's just quibbling." Paimon looked at Lin Zixuan with contempt.
"Inazuma has many problems! You have to sort them out one by one and dig out Inazuma's real secret."
Inazuma City.
The merchants who set the fire were escorted to the square in front of the statue. The square was surrounded by Inazuma people in three layers.
Kujo Sara was reading out the case from above.
"President Kurisu, do you have any objection to instigating members of the Chamber of Commerce to set fire to the warehouse on the outlying island?"
"No objection."
"Then, according to the Inazuma Law, President Kurisu is sentenced to death."
"Wait? Why is it just the death penalty?"
"Anything else to say?"
"I bought the warehouse, and the goods inside are mine. Why should I be sentenced to death for burning my own things?"
"You are also charged with a series of crimes including disrupting the market and intimidating officials. Do you need me to list them one by one?"
"You, the Inazuma gang, are too much of a bully. We merchants don't even make enough money to pay taxes. How can we merchants survive?"
We are done for you and you force us to open a shop. Even if we open a shop, you still forcibly plunder our warehouse. After we pay taxes, you come to the shop every few days to collect protection fees. Such Inazuma should be destroyed as soon as possible!" President Kurisu shouted frantically.
"Nonsense, our taxes in Inazuma are not high. I know it's not easy for you to come here from afar to do business. The tax rate in Inazuma is lower than that in Liyue."
"You, the Tenryo Magistrate, don't manage taxes. Which merchant company on the outlying islands doesn't know that the taxes Inazuma has to pay are astronomical."
"In that case, why don't you report back to the Kanjo Bugyo?"
"The Kanjo Bugyo's people collected it, and asked us to give feedback to the Kanjo Bugyo? We can't even enter the door of the Kanjo Bugyo!"
"We will investigate this matter after reporting it to General Lei Dian. Next..."
"You are condoning the chief evildoer. You three magistrates are a piece of shit. Wuuuuuuu---" A rag was stuffed into President Kurisu's mouth, making him unable to speak.
There was a sound of applause from above.
“It’s an eye-opener. It’s really an eye-opener.”
The detained people looked at the figure on the statue with expectant eyes, especially the more than 30 merchants from Liyue, whose eyes were filled with tears.
Chapter 196 God's Eye and Medicinal Bath
Just as he popped his head out to say hello, a purple light shot from the castle tower towards the top of the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue.
Lin Zixuan sighed, waved his right hand, and flicked the naginata back. After so many years, this woman still cuts me as soon as we meet.
The Thunder General in the castle tower took the rebounded naginata and jumped to the top of the castle tower. He raised his hand and raised the naginata. The power of thunder and lightning gathered in the sky, and a purple beam of light penetrated the sky and the earth.
"No thoughts, no desires, just one cut."
“The pre-swing is too long!”
Lin Zixuan appeared in front of her instantly, held her face, grabbed her and flew away from Inazuma City.
People saw lightning and thunder in the sky behind the Inazuma Castle Tower, and then it returned to calm. Then, a figure reappeared in front of people.
"Your God is a little too enthusiastic." Lin Zixuan straightened his clothes and hairstyle.
"Where is General Lei Dian? Where is she?" Kujo Sara asked hurriedly.
"Just let her calm down for a while, she will be back soon."
"You defeated General Raiden?"
"Does winning or losing matter? In Inazuma, any housewife who can cook can out-cook General Raiden. You should have some faith in your own god. In terms of martial arts, few people in Teyvat can beat her. It's normal to do some warm-up exercises after not seeing each other for so long."
"What are you doing here in Inazuma? Entering the country illegally, interfering with the trial, and disrespecting General Raiden."
"Such a big thing happened to Inazuma, and it also involved people from Liyue, so I naturally came to see what was going on. These more than 30 business owners in Liyue are all legal citizens of Liyue. Inazuma has no right to punish people from Liyue."
"They set fire to the warehouse on the outlying island, leaving the people of Inazuma without food and supplies. They deserve to be punished!"
"So many people have come all the way across the ocean to do business in Inazuma. And they haven't even offered any outrageous prices to sell their products.
The goods were all bought with their own Mora, and they are all their property. Merchants value profit, so would any merchant go against Mora? Don't you think about why they would rather burn their property than sell it? "
"We, the Tianling Fengxing, will investigate this matter later."
"If you can really check, I hope you can check it thoroughly. I remember that last year, the various goods transported by ocean-going freighters paid nearly 600 billion in taxes to Inazuma alone. I wonder how much tax the Inazuma treasury received last year?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded.
"I remember now that because of the isolation order, the Kanjo Bugyo said that they couldn't collect any taxes. Last year, the offshore islands only brought less than 400 billion into the national treasury."
"No way? If what Master Xuan said is true, it would be too scary, right? Wouldn't half of it be embezzled?"
"It must be true! Last year, there was only one ocean-going freighter that was transporting goods in Inazuma. They must know what goods were transported in and out, how much the goods were worth, and how much tax was paid."
"What Master Xuan said should be the taxes that should be paid under normal circumstances. If what these businessmen said is true? After paying customs duties, there are still various taxes such as business taxes, and they can't even make a living, then how much tax has been embezzled?"
The words of the surrounding crowd reached Kujo Sara's ears, and he immediately felt that something was wrong. This morning, a soldier from the Okujishu (General Raiden's direct troops) came to Tenryo Bugyo and delivered General Raiden's order, asking me to deal with these foreign merchants who disturbed Inazuma as soon as possible.
"Come here, go and invite the Okujishu from this morning." Kujo Sara called two Tenryo Bugyo. The two Tenryo Bugyo soldiers hurried into the castle tower.
"Are you looking for the person who delivered the message? That's fine too. I also need to take a look at the account book of the Inazuma Xuanyuan Trading Company branch this year." Lin Zixuan took the account book handed over by the servant of Xuanyuan Trading Company, moved out a chair, and started to read it with his legs crossed.
More and more people gathered around. When the heads of the Shefu and Tianlingfu families heard about Lin Zixuan's appearance, they also rushed to the Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue.
The two officers of the Tenryo Bugyo ran out of the castle tower in fear. When they saw the two Bugyo coming, they were stunned and walked towards Kujo Sara to report the situation privately.
"What? Dead?" Kujo Sara blurted out without stopping, attracting the attention of the two officials and Lin Zixuan.
"Is the dog desperate? But it's also normal. It's a huge corruption profit chain, and what we see now is just the tip of the iceberg." Lin Zixuan closed the account book and handed it to the servant of Xuanyuan Trading Company standing beside him.
"An Okuji clan member actually died in the castle tower. This is truly going to make history!" Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, the three magistrates were more or less corrupt, and they had large families and many people, and they had to support a shogun. Therefore, in politics, it was tacitly agreed that corruption could not be used as evidence to capture political enemies, as doing so would only bring disaster upon oneself.
At this moment, a purple meteor streaked across the castle tower and fell in front of Lin Zixuan. The smoke and dust dissipated, and General Lei Dian appeared in front of everyone.
Lei Yingying glanced at Lin Zixuan, and then looked at the many people here. He hadn't seen this person for many years, and his strength had grown too fast. If a fight broke out, the entire Inazuma City might be destroyed, so he suppressed his anger.
"You still have some intelligence. Let's talk after everything is dealt with." Lin Zixuan looked at Lei Diandian who had broken through the seal and returned.
I couldn't help but sigh, as expected of a god who had experienced countless battles, he directly used his great power to break the seal I set. This dual-god state even solved the shortcomings of restraining the warriors in hypnosis and illusion. It's a pity...
"What happened?" Lei Dianying asked, but no one dared to answer. "Kujo Sara, you tell me."
Kujo Sara narrated what had happened.
