"If there is something ready-made, of course we should use it."
"..."
"Those elders, do you want Kaiji Daimikoto to be killed by General Lei Dian once again?" Xin Hai sighed, feeling quite helpless.
"how is this possible?"
"Without the consent of the Great God of the Sea, they are impatient to start a war. They will definitely lead to the emergence of General Raiden, and the events of the past will happen again. These people... are plotting to murder the Great God of the Sea."
"To murder one's own god? Isn't that right?"
"As the remnants of the White Night Kingdom, Haiji Island actually has a much longer history. Especially for these ethnic groups that have been passed down for thousands of years, they actually don't worship gods at all.
In their eyes, gods are just valuable tools. Once their interests are affected, they will kill them without hesitation. I have copied many things from the library in Yuanxia Palace, but unfortunately the texts in some books are too ancient to be understood. "
"So what do we do now? Do we go and expose them?"
"I'm afraid it's useless. No one will believe me even if I tell them. It's easier to dodge an attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. We don't have enough resources to mobilize. I want to arrange a ceremony to welcome the Great God of Kaigi as soon as possible. Please help inform the people of Kaigi."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Um...can you let go of my hand for a moment?"
Xinhai let go of Wulang's tail. He didn't know how much effect this speech would have. He was just a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time.
Fortunately, the Traveler appeared and stopped the Eye Hunting Order. Otherwise, if they continued, they would have fallen into the trap of the elders. How can the elders, who hold great power in the almost empty Coral Palace, break the deadlock?
Inazuma City.
Lei Dianying looked at the information provided by Ying and Kamisato Ayato, his chest heaving rapidly, and he was obviously very angry.
Unbearable taxes and the plundering of private property caused merchants to prefer burning their warehouses to not letting the Kanjo Bugyo seize their property. In addition, more than 5000 people died in the war and tens of thousands of people on Bayun Island died at the hands of evil spirits, but none of this was reported to the authorities.
Although Lin Zixuan mentioned it before, he was more willing to trust his own beliefs than outsiders. His trust made them do things that deceived the emperor.
The heads of the Kujo and Hiiragi families knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. Kamisato Ayato stood aside and watched the show. Ying and Paimon stood beside Ayato as witnesses.
"You guys are really my good followers!"
"General, the Fatui forced us to do this." The head of the Kujo family responded immediately.
"That's right, we were all forced." The head of the Hiiragi family was not to be outdone.
"So, do the people on this list belong to Inazuma or the Kingdom of Zhidong?" General Lei Dian took out a list and a document proving the nationality of the Kingdom of Zhidong.
"General, this is a plan of the Winter Kingdom's Faint Men. We have no idea about it."
"What about this? The money you saved from the Northland Bank in the Kingdom of Winter is almost close to 2 trillion Mora."
"General, I have no knowledge of this money. It must be a false account made by the Fatui. There are only some report records, and there is no evidence such as fingerprints."
"Well, does the Kanjo Bugyo know about the unreasonable taxes on the outlying islands?"
"Your Excellency the General, we have verified that it was done by a Bantou in the Kande Bugyo. And it caused some dissatisfaction among the scoundrels."
"Where is Tianling Fengxing? Why weren't more than 5000 people reported dead?"
"Reporting to the general, we only had over 1500 casualties, while the untouchables of Kaigi Island had over 3500 deaths. We have a great advantage, so we plan to wait until we have a complete victory before reporting."
"Very good, very good indeed." Lei Dianzi clapped his hands softly, which made the two people kneeling on the ground feel a little relieved.
"I thought, you usually deceive me like this, right?" In an instant, the castle tower was filled with murderous aura, pressing the two men to the ground.
"What we said is true, General Lei Dian, please take a closer look!" The head of the Jiujo family said with difficulty.
Lei Dianying suppressed his murderous aura and sat back in the main seat.
"Then I'll give you another chance. Tell me clearly about these things and I can give you a way to live."
The Kujo family and the head of the Hiiragi family looked at each other and made a decision.
"What we said is true, I hope the general will understand."
"very good!"
Lei Movie snapped his fingers, and Aojiezhong brought in a mahogany-framed screen, as well as a special chair with a helmet-like object on top.
"What is this?" The two became nervous.
"Although I don't like that person, he also enlightened me after he appeared in the form of Mikami Chiyo. Since I can't do it myself, it's not a bad thing to ask for help from others.
This is Liyue’s magic weapon, and its name is: Lie-Snatching Instrument.
It is said that it was originally a magic weapon that could only be used in major vicious incidents in Liyue with the consent of several relevant departments of the General Affairs Department. I think it should tell me the real answer. "
"General, we have served you for many years. Even if we have no merit, we have worked hard. Using this kind of thing will only hurt the hearts of us subjects. You must believe in your people!" The two men began to cry and complain.
"Of course I believe that you believe in me. I gave you the power and the supreme position because I want you to manage the land of Inazuma with me.
Many things are not worth mentioning to Eternity, so even if you see or hear them, you will not pursue them further.
Now, how much affection do you still have for Inazuma? What exactly is Inazuma in your eyes?
The supreme position looked down upon the common people;
Withholding subsidies for soldiers killed in battle;
Fearing that I would discover it, they forbade a grand funeral in Inazuma Castle;
A member of your family killed someone after drinking, and you protected the criminal;
Fabricating false cases and sending people to jail;
Do you think I have never heard of things like this?
I trust you and think you will help me manage Inazuma.
To this day, you are still deceiving me.
Have you ever repented?"
"You are not General Lei Dian, you definitely are not. General Lei Dian is not so eloquent!"
"It must be Lin Zixuan who transformed. Our General Lei Dian was hidden by him. General Lei Dian will not use Liyue's things. Someone come! Someone come to rescue him."
The two families were shouting and yelling, but unfortunately the surrounding Okuji people did not move. This is the castle tower, and the army of the Tenryo Bugyo and the Kanjo Bugyo cannot enter at all.
The Aojie people are General Lei Dian's personal soldiers and will not listen to them at all. Even if someone is bribed and General Lei Dian is still in power, if they stand out and seek death, the end will definitely not be good.
"Have you had enough of the trouble?" Lei Dianying glared.
Seeing that things were not going well, Kanjo Bugyo came up with another plan. "I have worked diligently for many years and will never suffer such an injustice. Today, I would rather die than accept a lie detector test under hypnosis." After saying this, he directly crashed into the pillar of the attic and fell to the ground with a bloody head.
"Dying to prove his integrity?" Lei Dianying signaled, and two Aojie people came forward to check. "General, he just fainted, he's fine."
Seeing General Raiden was a bit unbearable, Kamisato Ayato on the side added insult to injury: "General, I heard that Liyue's lie-detecting instrument is effective whether you are unconscious or not. You can still investigate the case within an hour even if you are dead. Anyway, he has fainted, so we can just see what he did."
"You are such a heartless person, we shouldn't have let you live!" The head of the Jiujo family yelled at him. Two Oji rushed over and held down the head of the Jiujo family who was about to draw his sword.
Lei Dianying pondered for a while, then made up his mind.
"Send it up."
Two Okuji carried the Hiiragi family head to the special chair, tied him up, and put on a helmet. Subtitles and voice prompts gradually appeared on the mahogany frame screen.
'Connecting to soul memory...'
'Connection successful...'
"Please tell me what you want to know."
A line of red words appeared at the bottom of the screen: "Please do not ask questions that are not related to the case. Respecting privacy is everyone's responsibility."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never tried such a situation before.
Lei Dianying looked at Ying and Paimon.
"You are more familiar with that person, why don't you try it first?"
"Ying, the big bad guy's magic weapon, let's try it together?" Paimeng, who had been silent for a long time, was finally able to breathe.
"But, we don't seem to have much in common with the Kanjo Bugyo, right?"
"Have you forgotten? The head of the Hiiragi family has forbidden us to leave the island."
"Yes."
The two walked over to the mahogany framed screen.
"We want to know why Master Hiiragi wants to stop the traveler Ying from leaving the island."
'Retrieving.'
'The retrieval was successful, and playback started.'
From the first perspective, a high-handed executive lady walked into the house. The owner of the perspective asked the servants to serve the best tea. They talked about the purchase of crystallized bone marrow, the interest rate of the Northland Bank, and many benefits and conditions.
Finally, the executive officer asked the magistrate to stop the travelers from leaving the island. If they could stop them, she could raise the interest rate of the magistrate's Northland Bank account by 1%. If they couldn't stop them, they could keep it as it was.
The scene disappeared, and everyone was speechless. This scene revealed too many things. It could even prove the deal between Kanjo Bugyo and the Fatui.
"It turns out that it was the executive lady who asked the head of the Hiiragi family to stop us from leaving the island. No wonder he refused to let us leave even though we clearly met his demands." Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily, and Ying also sighed. This video revealed too many things.
When the head of the Kujo family saw this situation, he was shocked and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"General, please don't use the lie detector. I have confessed all my crimes, please don't use it. I was wrong, I deceived the emperor. I plead guilty!"
Kamisato Ayato on the side added insult to injury again. "It seems that the head of the Kujo family is hiding many secrets that must not be known to the general of Raiden. I am afraid that it is something more serious than deceiving the emperor. Am I right, head of the Kujo family?"
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. Aren't you afraid of sitting on it yourself?"
"I am loyal to General Lei Dian. Even if I sit on it, no video of me betraying General Lei Dian will be seen. If General Lei Dian wants me to sit on it now, I will not refuse."
"You!!! Damn you little bastard!"
"Quiet!" Lei Yingyan spoke again. "Traveler Ying, is there anything else you want to know?"
"Ying, come to think of it. We haven't got the evidence of the supply of materials to Kaigi Island during the war, right?"
"Indeed, let's ask again." The two asked again.
From the first person's perspective, the environment seems to be a high-end restaurant. Opposite him sits a masked Fatui.
"Here is the bearer passbook of Northland Bank for 500 billion Mora."
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"The executive officer has ordered you to use this money to prepare some supplies for the resistance forces on Haiji Island every month. We will have brothers there to help us."
"How dare you ask me to support the rebels to kill the shogunate army?"
"No, no, no, can't you just not record the supplies you sent? If anything goes wrong, you can just say that the ship carrying supplies to Kujo Jinya was hijacked by the rebels."
“Don’t keep any records? That’s not going to make it easy to get caught. But I still don’t agree.”
"Here is an anonymous passbook with 2000 billion Mora. This is your reward. The time limit is June of next year. As long as you don't record it, no one can catch you. All you need to do is provide 1 million worth of supplies every month, including food, weapons, and equipment. The rest of these Mora are yours."
The person in the first perspective looked at it, picked up the passbook, looked at it again, and thought for a while.
"Okay! From today on, tell your executive officers. We haven't met."
"Thank you very much."
The video ends.
The entire castle tower was as cold as if it had fallen into winter. Once such a thing was exposed, it would not be easy to cover it up.
"Ying, did we do something wrong?"
"Maybe...yes!"
Chapter 213 A Banker's Method
"Very good. For more than 2000 billion Mora, I will let the people of Inazuma live in the pain brought by the war. This is really a good deed of mine."
Lei Dianying walked down from above and came to the mahogany-framed screen.
"I want to know if there has been any corruption in the past few years?"
'Retrieving.'
'The search was successful, a total of 2161 records. Please select the video record you want to view.'
"Extract the records related to the Inazuma Treasury." Lei Dianying frowned.
'The search was successful, a total of 244 records. Please select the video record you want to view.'
"Hmph. You really have the nerve to sit in this position." Lei Dianying did not choose to watch the video, but waved his hands back to the upper position, with his back to people, wondering what he was thinking.
