"You mean that Liyue TV has already mentioned this kind of fraud case? And Inazuma is locked up in the country, and the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo look down on these things, so they didn't know about these things at all, and ended up getting cheated?"
"Hiss..." A group of people took a breath of cold air.
......
The next day.
There was news that the Kanjo Bugyo and Tenryo Bugyo had started selling their property, and they visited the other families, hoping that they would come to their rescue.
But everyone knew that the two families were finished. They were not polite at all and just asked for a huge sum of money, lowering the price to an extremely low level.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two executives began to seek help from foreign trading companies, but the prices offered by the owners of these trading companies were only slightly higher than the lowest price.
Finally, the two officials came to the Inazuma branch of Xuanyuan Trading Company and asked to see Lin Zixuan.
"Master Hiiragi and Master Kujo are here to visit together. Is there something important?" Lin Zixuan put down the book in his hand and looked at the two masters who were about to be fanned to death by his wings.
The two family heads immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"We beg Master Xuan to buy our property at a reasonable price!"
"Give me a reasonable reason to buy it."
The two family heads looked at each other, and Tianling Fengxing signaled Kanding Fengxing with his eyes.
"Please, Master Xuan, save the lives of hundreds of people in our clan, big and small. Master Xuan is kind-hearted and he certainly doesn't want to see hundreds of people die." said Kanjo Bugyo.
"Died an untimely death? There are tens of thousands of villagers on Yayun Island, and more than 5,000 lives lost in Mingzhui Beach. Didn't they die an untimely death? Do you think that as an Inazuma, your family's life will be more noble?
When I came to Inazuma several years ago, I told you not to be blinded by money and power. As Inazuma's Kanjo Bugyo, you betrayed your duty, General Raiden, and Inazuma.
If your people enjoy the power and money you bring, then they are ready to bear the responsibility of these crimes together.
Do you feel innocent? If those soldiers and villagers were still alive, I believe if they knew the cause of their death, they would want to suck your blood and eat your flesh. "
The two lowered their heads even lower.
"Please help me, Master Xuan!"*2
"Humph. I can buy all your assets at a reasonable price.
However, there are two contracts.
Article 1 of the contract: Tell your tribe members all the wrongs you have done.
Article 2 of the contract: As you all know, Haiji Island will soon resume its Eastern Expedition. All of you, including yourself, will go to the front lines to fight. I don't mean sitting in the camp to earn merit. And you will all fight as soldiers with swords and spears. I will take care of those who survive. "
"No! Wouldn't that be a cannon fodder camp?" Kanjo Bugyo shouted as if he was suddenly awakened.
"What? You guys pushed Inazuma's people onto the battlefield as cannon fodder and that was fine? But now it's your turn, you're making excuses. Are you so afraid of death?" Lin Zixuan glanced at the Kanjo Bugyo and made him lower his head again.
"I am willing to sign the contract. I am willing to make up for my mistakes." The head of the Kujo family knocked his head heavily to the ground.
"Master Kujo...what are you doing?" Kanjo Bugyo looked at Master Kujo.
"If we can't pay back the debt, the general will implement the collective responsibility system and exterminate the clan. Now we have a chance to save some people's lives, which is a blessing. If I can sacrifice my guilty body for Inazuma, I am willing to do so!"
The Kanjo Bugyo also remembered that the time given by General Raiden was not much, and if he could not pay it back, he would definitely receive the most severe divine punishment. He bowed his head with lifeless eyes and muttered, "I agree too."
"Then, you should confirm the transfer of assets with the secretaries of Xuanyuan Trading Company. Baixiao, estimate the 'current' value of those properties."
"Ok."
Bai Xiao, who was sent on a business trip by Ningguang, looked at someone who had sent him away again, speechless. As soon as Beidou went back and told Ningguang about the Kabukicho incident, Inazuma was sent to monitor him. Has he fallen out of favor?
Although living here is exotic, it feels like returning to Liyue ten years ago. Life is too hard. Except for a few bicycles passing by occasionally, I haven't seen many things from Liyue. It's not convenient for travel and daily life. Let Baiwen and Baishi come next time.
A week later.
The staff and accountant of the Kanjo Bugyo's house were handed over to the temporary responsibilities of the Society Bugyo, leaving the Kamisato brothers and their staff busy with the painful days of sorting out the accounts. Of course, it also included the traveler Ying who was captured and made into a laborer, and Paimon who was dizzy from looking at the account book spinning in circles.
Countless properties of Tenryo Bugyo and Kandeong Bugyo changed hands one after another, making countless business houses very angry. The delicious fresh meat that they should have rushed to share was snatched away by others.
But the news that followed was shocking. According to the family tree of Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo, all the living people, young men and women, had gone to the Tado Sand battlefield, while the old and young had stayed in the small house near the castle tower.
The news of the contract from Xuanyuan Trading Company made countless people feel regretful. Such an ending was only slightly better than genocide.
The two great magistrates who had enjoyed great glory have now become a thing of the past. The elections for the new magistrates of Kanjo and Tenryo are already being prepared.
Haige Island.
In the Coral Palace, Xin Hai once again lay on the table. No one listened to his speech this time. Countless people were shouting "Eastern Expedition", and the trend of war was unstoppable.
This time, Xin Hai's power was completely stripped away by the elders. 15 generals and a total of 5 rebels were ready to go.
Although Goro was a general, he was almost left alone. His men were scattered and assigned to other generals' teams.
Seeing such a large battle, the spies of the shogunate army at the site of Leixuan Village in the southwest of Bayun Island urgently evacuated the area. After the disappearance of the evil spirit, the strategic significance of this place has been greatly reduced.
A huge storm is coming, a continuation of the war 2000 years ago.
Changci on Qinglai Island looked at the two people in front of him who were trembling all over because of the electric shock, and couldn't help but complain: "I've already told you that fighting is prohibited here! Why don't you learn your lesson?"
Village chief Washizu sighed as he watched more and more people come here. He had to find a way to let them cultivate the land themselves.
Chapter 215: The War Restarts
The new year has already begun.
The "Eastern Expedition" of Haigi Island also slowly began.
There are 15 strongholds of various sizes scattered across the Bayun Island. Many of them occupy commanding heights, are equipped with catapults, and have built thick stone walls to resist the Shenju Bengdao cannon.
If the Kamui Collapse Cannon wanted to attack, it had to get closer and raise the firing angle. Getting closer meant that it would be attacked by the catapults occupying the commanding heights, which caused headaches for the countless staff members in the Kujo Jinya.
The internal turmoil in Inazuma Castle gave Umijima an opportunity to take advantage of. By the time Inazuma had integrated the shogunate army, Yagyujima had already been completely occupied.
The huge body of Orobas (snake body) still roamed in the sea above Bayin Island, making it impossible for the shogunate army to ignore its existence and could only watch Bayin Island being occupied.
After the war situation was reported, what came was not General Lei Dian, but a bunch of crying adult men and women, causing a commotion in the military camp.
The accompanying soldiers told them what happened in Inazuma Castle, and everyone was furious. We were fighting to the death here, but you lost all your capital in the rear. You actively promoted the Eye Hunting Order, colluded with the Fatui and Umijima, and let the soldiers die in a civil war without any honor.
Several enthusiastic young soldiers rushed up and punched and kicked them, but were pulled out by other soldiers. The army has its own military discipline, and these young soldiers were eventually punished.
Many people in the Kujo family were like Kujo Sara, who were guilty but not stripped of their official positions. Now they were commanding their family members to go to the front line instead of letting them sit in the tent and watch the show. This feeling of letting their own people die was very uncomfortable.
In addition, the reputation of the Kujo family has declined drastically, and all the family members who hold official positions have to go to the front line. Even if one wants to send other members of the Kujo family to a slightly safer front, I'm afraid no one will agree.
The people of the Kujo family were okay, most of them were pretty tough. On the other hand, the people of the Kanjo Bugyo family...were crying like pear blossoms in the rain, which was really disgusting.
Affluent life corrupts their hearts. Holding the power of the wife makes them arrogant and domineering. However, once they face death, their true colors will be revealed.
They were no longer willing to devote themselves to Inazuma, who was nothing more than a leek field to them. If the Inazuma isolation order had not been lifted, they would probably have gone on a trip to the other six countries.
a week later.
The first battle started. Neither side made any substantial progress. The main reason was that the morale of the shogunate army was low and its combat strength was greatly reduced.
During this period, a ridiculous incident occurred. Three members of the Hiiragi family instigated some of their family members to surrender to the enemy on Kaigi Island. However, these people who surrendered to the enemy were killed by the generals of Kaigi Island, and they were turned into the enemy's merits and built into a "landscape".
This incident caused many members of the Hiiragi family and some of the Kujo family who were still hoping for the best to fall silent again. They began to resent Inazuma, Lin Zixuan, Umijima and the Fatui. Why should we work for these lowly people?
Many members of these two families could not accept this huge gap. From being high above and giving orders, they fell to the level of cannon fodder. In addition, many soldiers looked at them like enemies, and finally chose to hang themselves.
In just one week, the number of people in these two families had been halved. Living was more difficult than dying. The dead were rolled up in a tattered mat and placed on the firewood. The rich children who were supposed to be buried in a grand ceremony became small clay pots placed in the corner and no one cared about them.
Haige Island.
Xin Hai looked at the three times more guards outside the Coral Palace and felt sad. He was under house arrest and his orders could not be passed on. Or rather, even if they were passed on, they would not cause any trouble. Now he was just a mascot named Xianren Shen Wunv.
The 2000-year-long monopoly and control of the Haiji Island by these elders has already eliminated the possibility of the current human god and priestess faction turning over.
After carefully counting the manpower he could mobilize, he found that there were only 500 people, and he had to make a discount after deducting the number of spies and the like.
There was almost no material resources that could be mobilized. I was afraid that the elders would know how much food I bought in the morning by noon.
No wonder her mother was so gentle, yet often looked sad. When she was chosen to become the present-day human god priestess, she acted contrary to her usual behavior and tried to stop it.
Young, easier to control? All it takes is some rhetoric to make me run around for the Eye Hunting Order, while they are making a fortune from the war.
"Goro, what do you think we should do to make the people of Haigi Island live a good life?"
"I don't know. If there is no barrier between the two sides, it should be OK, right?"
"Umi-no-Omi-no-Kami said something similar. She wanted Umi-jima to integrate with Inazuma. But we have always chosen to oppose it. No, it should be said that it is these elders who are making Umi-jima oppose Inazuma.
"The secrets that Kaigi Omiya mentioned, and the manipulator behind the scenes, what exactly does he want to turn Kaigi Island into?"
Xinhai thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Suddenly he thought of something and started writing.
Then, he sealed the letter, put it in a small box, and gave the box to Goro.
"Goro, be sure to deliver this letter to the Yaeguchi of Narugami Taisha."
"Huh?" The hair on Goro's tail exploded.
"what happened?"
"Can someone else go?" Wu Lang asked tentatively.
"I'm worried about someone else. Didn't you meet her a few years ago? She's a nice person, isn't she?"
"Yes...it's pretty good." Goro remembered Yae Shinko's behavior.
"Go to Inazuma's place and disguise yourself if necessary. Speaking of which, Ms. Hina from Yaedou looks a lot like you, Goro. I wonder if you two are siblings."
"Xi...Xi...definitely not!" Goro was sweating profusely.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Goro."
"Yes..." Goro left the Coral Palace with the letter, frowning. The cool breeze and falling leaves told Goro's feelings.
Rebel camp.
On a large ship on the seashore, the elders of Haigi Island gathered here.
"The war has already started for a week, why hasn't the Great God of Kaigi made any move yet?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The evil god on the other side hasn't even come out yet."
"This time, it can be said that God has blessed our Umi Island. The two magistrates in Inazuma Castle were fooled by the Fatui and lost their positions. It's a pity that we have been mutually beneficial for so long."
"This is the disadvantage of having someone above you. Our Kaigi Island is much better. The title of the present-day Goddess is just a useless one."
"That's right! There's no one above us, so we can get as much as we want. If anything really happens, we can just let her bear the responsibility."
"Without the support of the Kanjo Bugyo this time, each of us will have to make some supplies."
"How much do you want? We can't afford more!"
"Not much, just enough for three months. Next month, we will start attacking Ta'ersha. This way, I think the evil god on the other side will become restless."
"There is a Shenju Collapse Island Cannon in Ta'ersha. Will many people die?"
"It doesn't matter. Just let those secret line leaders give some money to their subordinates and let them arrange their men to trick those brainless people into charging. I think 5 per person is enough."
"That's a good idea. You can only get the money if you can come back alive. If you can't come back, then you don't have to pay."
"The Great God of Kaigi certainly doesn't want too many people on Kaigi Island to die. Then this matter will be easily accomplished."
"Hey hey hey..."
The sound of clinking glasses and laughter could be heard on the boat, celebrating the success of their plan.
Narukami Taisha Shrine.
The four of them looked at the picture on the screen and frowned.
"No wonder, every time I want to enact something beneficial to Haigi Island, I will encounter great resistance. Sometimes a policy that is beneficial to Haigi Island that is enforced will eventually fail. It turns out that these people are causing trouble." Lei Dianzhen looked at the group of people who were celebrating with an expression of disgust on his face.
"These people have been like this from the beginning. In the past, there were seven holy sons. They selected seven holy sons and granted them some unimportant powers. Once their rule and status were threatened, the seven holy sons would be thrown directly into the Great Sun Carriage for sacrifice." Orobasi had already abandoned them, his eyes were very indifferent.
"A family that has been passed down for thousands of years is not an easy one to deal with. There are all kinds of people in the family, and there are many in-laws. Just like the in-laws in my family who are good at exorcism. If I don't solve the amber solution incident well, then over time, if I let it go again and again, countless people will rebel against me." Lin Zixuan took a sip of tea.
"So what are you going to do now?" Yae Shinto was also very disgusted with these lawless people.
“The lesions have already appeared, and the means of excision are very important. If they are not completely removed, they will grow again.
I need the help of Lei Dian, but she is still missing something in her heart. So, it is better to delay the war for a while. "Lin Zixuan looked at Lei Dianzhen, and Lei Dianzhen understood instantly that the backhand he left behind had not been triggered, so he still could not be considered resurrected.
"Well, do those people have enough supplies?"
"Enough. Many people have started to get along harmoniously. They are all jumping around very energetically."
"Then I feel relieved. You are much stronger than the Great Compassion Tree King. It's a pity for those people before. Alas!"
