"I only do things that are beneficial to Liyue. As for the rest, I'll do it based on my mood. There are so many things going on in the world, how can I manage them all? It's already difficult to protect a small corner of the world, there's no need to cause more trouble for myself."
"Your corner of the country can be either Liyue or the entire Teyvat. Isn't it?" Raiden Zhen said with a smile.
"Who knows? I'm not that free."
Chapter 216 The Lost Land
Ying and Paimon received a delivery mission from the Adventurer's Association: deliver the fully loaded tricycle to a house near the castle tower.
They came to the door and looked at it, which was covered with rotten egg residue, dents caused by stones, and abusive words smeared with various paints.
The two sighed together. During the day, at least there were guards from the Tenryo Bugyo patrolling. At night, people swearing, throwing rocks and rotten eggs would appear around here. This place has become a place for many people in Inazuma City to vent their anger.
Paimon knocked on the door and called out loudly.
Soon, the door opened a crack, and the people inside looked in and saw the familiar Ying and Paimon, and cheered. Several children happily opened the door.
"It's Sister Ying!"
"Sister Ying is going to perform magic again!"
"I'll take the stuff out and move it into the kitchen and warehouse, and I'll play with you guys later."
"Well, we'll help too."
"Slow down, don't take too much, and don't fall."
Ying took out the tricycle from the Chen Ge pot and moved the ingredients and some common supplies in. After getting the confirmation signature from a white-haired old man, she played with the children for a while.
Seeing the door painted with various curse words slowly close, Ying and Paimon also put away their smiles. The old and young of the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family were all here enduring the anger of the entire Inazuma Castle.
"The big bad guys are so abominable. They didn't do anything bad at all. But now they can't even sleep well." Little Paimon said angrily with his hands on his hips.
"Let's go."
"Eh? Ying, you have something to say too?" Paimeng quickly followed.
"That's all I can do. Just like the Mond Lawrence family, they have inflated ambitions, unchecked power, colluded with the Fatui, and deceived General Thunder. They will have to bear the consequences themselves."
"I still think they are innocent."
"Paimeng, are they really innocent? This behavior has been ingrained into their bones. The previous head of the family was probably like this too. After those children are exposed to this kind of environment, what will happen to them when they become the head of the family? Looking back, I have seen too many such things."
"They will all become like Master Hiiragi..."
"Although there may be some special cases like Yuso Lawrence in Mond, but such cases are too rare."
"It's painful to think that they will have to live under people's insults in the future," Paimon said sadly.
"Didn't the Eula we met become a knight of the Knights of Favonius amid people's insults? The mistakes made by the family must be borne by themselves. If they can regain the oath of their ancestors, they may be recognized by the people."
"Well, let's help them more often in the future!"
On the way back to hand in the task, the two saw Thomas talking to a middle-aged man, so they walked over.
"Hey, it's you? We were just talking about you." Thomas greeted him and the man also saluted.
"Who is this?"
"Let me introduce you. This is Yingsi Jin, the head of the Yingsi family. He is currently taking over the duties of Tianling Bingxing."
"Temporary? Doesn't that mean you will become the new Tianling Bugeng?" Paimeng asked in surprise.
"Whether it can be done or not still needs the approval of the general. The Kujo family has suffered a big setback this time. Although all the family wealth has been lost, if the whole family is mobilized to suppress the rebellion and succeeds, it should reduce a lot of crimes.
Our ancestors also had a similar situation to the Kujo family. So they lost the position of Tenryo Bugyo hundreds of years ago. Now it is the turn of the Kujo family. It can be said that the situation has changed. "Takashi Susumu couldn't help but sighed.
"Eh? The Takashi family was the previous generation's Tenryo Bugyo?"
"Each magistrate has families of varying sizes under him. Once a magistrate makes a serious mistake, his magistrate will decline. The large families under his control will secretly compete for the position of magistrate, but the final decision is made by the general."
"Is it the same with the Kanjo Bugyo?"
"Similarly, the big families on the outlying islands are almost fighting for the title of 'Acting Kande Bugyo'. Everyone knows that taking this title is equivalent to a lot of money. But the current situation is very strange."
"Is there anything strange?" A question mark appeared above Paimon's head.
"Weren't you all helping out at the community council meeting a few days ago?" Thomas said.
"Isn't it just helping to reorganize and settle accounts?"
"Things that should have been done by these families are now in the hands of the community magistrate. This could be a big deal if things go wrong." Ying Sijin felt very uneasy.
"Yes, normally these kinds of things should be left to them to handle, but now they are asking the company magistrate to handle the accounts directly."
"Perhaps the General thinks they are all the same? As a person who manages the country's finances, he did not stop the Fatui. I'm afraid it has something to do with these families."
"These are actually small matters. The head of the Kamisato family recently discovered that the Kanjo Bugyo also caused Inazuma to lose hundreds of trillions of Mora." Thomas looked helpless.
"Hundreds of trillions??? Wasn't it only tens of trillions before?"
"Before, the country of Zhidong had only taken away tens of trillions of dollars, but this person who came later was truly terrifying. He directly caused the Kanjo Bugyo to die without a burial place."
? ? ? ? ? ?
"You know this man, and you're very familiar with him. You probably never thought about how much the Kanjo Bugyo has embezzled by taking advantage of the power he has held for so many years.
Inazuma has many islands and lands, which they legalized and took into their own pockets. And in order to repay their debts..."
"!!!!!!"
"So the bad guys took all these islands and lands away?"
"Yes. Recently, when the head of the Kamisato family was checking these contracts, he discovered a huge problem. The contract with the Hiiragi family was not signed by Xuanyuan Trading Company, but... Liyue General Affairs Department.
The Hiiragi family was in such a hurry to sell their assets that they probably didn't even bother to look at what stamp was on them.
This means...these islands and lands already belong to Liyue’s territory.
It is equivalent to...Inazuma first lost tens of trillions of Mora, and then lost territory of immeasurable value.
Although the money was returned, the land of Inazuma... was lost forever." Thomas' words made several people break out in cold sweats.
"!!!!!!"
"What a terrible method. He must have been eyeing Inazuma's territory from the very beginning. I've heard that he tore a piece of land from the Kingdom of Winter. I didn't expect that he took more than one piece of land from us." Ying Sijin suddenly felt a huge pressure. This position of Tianling Fengxing would inevitably involve dealing with Liyue.
"It's too late now. Inazuma's territory was taken away by legal means. Inazuma can't blame Liyue at all. If she wants to take it back, she may have to pay a hundred or a thousand times the price and still not succeed. Half of the outlying islands are already in Liyue's hands. What to do with them next is a big problem."
"The Hiiragi family has no chance of recovery. In comparison, the Kujo family is in a much better situation."
"The general can only solve this problem." Thomas shook his head and did not hold much hope for this.
"Ying, the big bad guy is really bad, we should have less contact with him in the future, otherwise we will be sold out by him and still help him count money. Ying?" Paimeng was thinking as he looked at Ying.
"Ah? I think it's a mixed bag."
"How can it be a mixture of good and bad? It's obviously doing bad things!"
"Liyue bought so many islands and lands, it's impossible for them to just leave them there, right? Airports and ports will definitely be built, and by then the offshore islands will surely be dozens of times more lively than before the lockdown."
"But Inazuma's land is gone."
"The excitement will also bring more transactions, and the people of Inazuma can earn a lot of money from it."
"But Inazuma's land is gone."
"This lesson will serve as a warning to those who follow the Inazuma doctrine. There will probably be many laws to suppress them in the future."
"But Inazuma's land is gone."
"Paimon!"
Ying put her hands on her hips and stared at little Paimon, who looked sideways to the other side.
Ying, who has been traveling all the time, has not taken root in a certain place, which has led to her indifferent concept of the country. In addition, Lin Zixuan's accumulated reputation has made her not think this is a bad thing.
"Come to think of it, didn't Ayato report such a big thing to General Raiden?" Paimon looked at Thomas.
"Of course not! But... recently the general announced that he would stay at home to recuperate and would not meet with anyone... In other words, there is no one to make decisions for us on such important matters.
We all understand that the general needs to calm down and sort out his feelings. But another big trouble has also come. "
"Is there any big trouble again? Let us help solve it!"
"At almost the same time, the thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma became disrupted."
"Isn't the thunderstorm in the outer sea a reflection of General Raiden's will to isolate the country?"
"That's right. For a long time, the offshore thunderstorm has been protecting Inazuma from the harm of the offshore sea. But recently, it seems to be approaching Inazuma Island."
"This...it seems like we can't solve this. I don't want to be struck by lightning."
"What if we could invite her out to relax?" Ying said.
"Oh, right. Whether it's the matter of the two great magistrates or the thunderstorm, it's because the general suddenly decided to rest, right?"
"It sounds like you have come up with a solution. Can I ask you for a favor? Everyone is worried about the General. If we can meet her, all the rumors that Inazuma is spreading will be proven false."
"The only person who could possibly have seen General Lei Dian in seclusion is her, right?"
"Looks like we need to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine first."
"Well, let's go!"
On the other side, Goro escaped the pursuit of the shogunate army and finally arrived at Narukami Island. He encouraged himself, looked at the clothes in the package, and gritted his teeth.
Everything is for Lord Xinhai of Coral Palace.
Chapter 217 The Secret Discovered
Ying and Paimon were teleported to Narukami Taisha Shrine again.
But before they could stand firmly, another figure teleported out and knocked Ying to the ground.
The visitor looked at the two people in front of him and immediately covered half of his face with his left hand. He bowed 90 degrees, whispered "sorry", and ran into the Narugami Taisha Shrine.
Ying stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, still a little confused.
"How infuriating! Why did you just run away after apologizing?" Paimon put his hands on his hips and complained.
"It's okay. She apologized anyway."
"Even if you apologize, you can't run away! What if you break a bone?"
"Paimon, maybe he has something urgent to do."
"Okay, let's go find the Eightfold Son of God first." Paimon stopped complaining when he saw that Ying didn't want to pursue the matter.
When the two came near the sacred cherry tree, they heard the joyful laughter of Yae Shinto.
The person in front of her was the one who had just knocked Ying down. He had long khaki hair with a hint of white, and was wearing a blue-green Inazuma woman's outfit. His tail was swaying, and he looked very familiar.
"Puchi, hahahahahahahaha...you actually...actually..." Yaezakami's laughter never stopped, leaving several "well" characters on the forehead of the person opposite.
"Have you laughed enough? If Umijima wasn't still at war with Inazuma, I wouldn't want to come here dressed like this."
"The document of passage I got you earlier is still useful, right?"
"What the hell! Can't I just change my identity? As soon as they saw the name on the pass, a bunch of people came out and frantically asked me for autographs. I had a hard time escaping here."
"Pfft..." Yae Shinko covered her mouth and laughed again.
Ying and Paimon also came forward.
"Son of God, are we disturbing you?"
"No, no, I'm just taking a break now. I didn't expect you guys to come."
"also?"
"Didn't you come here together?" Yae Shinko looked at a certain 'lady' who had her back turned.
"No, this lady just knocked Ying down, apologized and ran away."
"oh......"
Yae Shinko suddenly thought of something, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he became playful.
"Well then! Now I will introduce you to them."
Someone shuddered.
"This is the most popular head of Yaedo's "Monthly Magazine". The most popular 'Miss Hina'."
