My senior sister is not a human being!

Because they all want to maintain a certain friendly relationship with the Demon King behind the monsters, the punishment for the crimes committed by monsters is not so strict.

The struggle between the cabinet and the imperial family, coupled with the intensification of violent crimes by monsters, has led to the internal conflicts not only failing to be controlled, but instead tending to escalate.

As for the city of Kaijin, which is completely controlled by the cabinet, there are more than one million monsters living here today. Because there is no need to continue to fight against the imperial family here, although there are many monsters in this metropolis, the public security is good.

Especially now, with the whole city under martial law and the imperial court and the cabinet making it clear that they are conducting a strict investigation, the whole city has been calm for a while.

The rooftop of the [Anti-Demon Inquisition] office building in Kaijin City.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhao Mingjing had not arrived yet, Su Yuxi came here holding the cat, who was now Shaoshao's sister, and looked at the night view of the city.

"The imperial family and the cabinet really wanted to win back the hearts of the people through their achievements, but unfortunately the policies gradually changed when they reached the local level. The people below pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, and they also used this to attack each other, which not only prevented the policies from being implemented, but also deepened the public's resentment."

Su Yuxi, who was talking to himself, naturally knew that the imperial family and the cabinet had made a lot of efforts to change the status quo, but the results did not even meet expectations.

Because they are both wary of each other's temporary weakening of power due to overly intensive reforms, in which case the other side will take advantage of the situation and occupy more high positions, resulting in that even if they complete the reforms, they will be completely annihilated by the other side.

Thinking of this, Su Yuxi couldn't help but chuckle. The situation in the Xuanqing Empire was more complicated than any other human country, because the imperial family represented magicians, while the majority of the cabinet was composed of ordinary people.

The imperial family believes that in the age of magic, magicians should hold power, while the cabinet feels that magicians are not omnipotent.

Both parties are naturally aware of the principle of performing their respective duties, but neither is willing to strike that balance.

Because they don't trust each other: ordinary people in the cabinet think that once magicians take power completely, they will no longer care about the needs of ordinary people, while the imperial family thinks that ordinary people should just be weak and obedient and be protected in the era of magic.

Today, the conflict has deepened because of the fear that the failure of one side will lead to a comprehensive purge and suppression by the other side.

Su Yuxi knew very well what the key reason why the two sides could not break the balance was: insufficient strength.

Although all members of the imperial family are magicians now, their strength is not as strong as the royal families of Amaterasu and the Holy Light. How can Emperor Xuan'an, who is not even a sage, have the authority of the emperor?

Therefore, there is no way to suppress the cabinet and local governments as in the past.

Although the cabinet has the support of some magical families, this support is very limited: the magician feels that he is the "chosen one" and does not want to listen to the orders of ordinary people after all.

The country that handles these conflicts best is the United States of God’s Choice, but the key to handling them well is also strength.

Just like when the Xuanqing Empire was founded, Taizu's powerful magical strength and iron-blooded means of strategizing firmly suppressed the ambitious people from all sides and kept the state institutions running actively.

Su Yuxi lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the convoy entering the courtyard. Knowing that Zhao Mingjing had arrived, she snorted coldly.

With the development of the Xuanqing Empire to this point, standing on the side of the imperial family or the cabinet will not change anything, because there are too many ambitious people within each side.

Therefore, demolition and reconstruction is the most direct and brutal way.

As for what will happen to the country in the future...that is not something I need to consider.

The dragon slayer will not become an evil dragon, it is the dragon slayer's followers who become evil dragons.

Su Yuxi’s idea was very simple. No matter whether it was human or monster, the selfish desires could not be eradicated—just like himself.

I am not pursuing any lofty dreams. Everything I do is just to gain the confidence to become a big brother. After all, my sisters-in-law not only have strength but also territory. How can I fall behind?

"Sister Raorao, you are so cute~" Su Yuxi's mentality changed very quickly. He lowered his head and buried his face in the warm fur, arching his back and forth.

"Meow~" Shao Shao patted Su Yuxi's head lightly with his small claws, looking like a big sister.

Although she was naive and felt that the way Yuxi knew her identity was too embarrassing, this matter was not that important... What was important was that she could also be called "sister".

"Humph, brother still hasn't told me your identities." Su Yuxi took a deep breath: "Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Shao Shao quickly patted Su Yuxi's face to comfort her. Su Yuxi giggled, turned around and said, "I don't know what brother and Sister Yu Shuang are doing now... They must be doing it!"

"Sister Yu Shuang always finds opportunities. It makes me so angry!" Su Yuxi said as she unzipped her down jacket: "Sister Raorao, you will stay in my clothes for a while."

Raorao shook her head and said that she would just follow secretly - she was Yuxi's 'sister', how could an elder sister be taken care of by a younger sister?

"Come on, come on, it's warm now~"

Raorao still refused.

Seeing Sister Raorao's inexplicably tough attitude, Su Yuxi had to give up. She looked at the big cat that disappeared when she walked up the stairs, straightened her clothes, and took a step forward.

meeting room.

As Crown Prince Zhao Mingjing walked in, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Although the senior officials of Haijin City present all belonged to the cabinet faction, the imperial family was always the ruler of the empire, and the prince naturally had power and status second only to His Majesty the Emperor.

"His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness."

The participants stood up and showed respect to the prince. Zhao Mingjing pressed his hands and spoke very quickly: "Everyone is here to solve the case, so there is no need to waste time on these empty formalities... Where is the team leader?"

Haijin City Chief Executive Zhong Hanfeng and the head of the [Anti-Demon Tribunal] looked at each other calmly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very humble.

"Excuse me, I went out to get some fresh air."

Su Yuxi pushed the door open and walked in, nodded politely towards Zhao Mingjing, and then sat down in the main seat without any hesitation.

Zhao Mingjing smiled and sat down on the other side of the long table facing Su Yuxi. He picked up the detailed information about the Haijin Massacre on the table and began to read it.

Beside him, Qinghe Marquis Liu Shu did not hesitate to speak to Zhao Mingjing in a low voice.

As the people around him sat down, Su Yuxi scanned the people present and felt like he was playing a game of Werewolf.

Cabinet officials are not necessarily cabinet officials. For example, Zhong Hanfeng is actually a royalist. What about others?

Su Yuxi glanced at Zhao Mingjing. As the Crown Prince of the Empire, Zhao Mingjing was excellent in both his magic skills and his ability to handle government affairs. Although he was a crown prince under the suspicious Emperor Xuan'an, he was not feared by anyone. On the contrary, Emperor Xuan'an attached great importance to this son and spared no effort in cultivating him.

Trust to an unreasonable degree.

However, based on the intelligence he collected, Su Yuxi was able to judge that Emperor Xuan'an did not trust Zhao Mingjing, but was asking Zhao Mingjing to share some of the pressure from the cabinet.

The more outstanding Zhao Mingjing was, the more the cabinet targeted him, because the cabinet did not want a prince who was more talented than Emperor Xuan'an to ascend to the throne.

As for another reason why Su Yuxi made such a judgment, although Zhao Mingjing was highly valued, he did not have a true princeling team around him.

The capable people on his mother's side seemed to be in high positions, but in fact their power was limited.

Under such circumstances, with the talents shown by Zhao Mingjing, he should have been able to notice these things, but he still spared no effort to help Emperor Xuan'an share the pressure.

Gaining reputation?

But his reputation was vulnerable in the face of the Guards.

Or has he already been secretly colluding with the cabinet?

Su Yuxi sorted out the information in his mind and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If only he had known earlier that he could control the 'sky', then he would have more information to refer to.

"Team leader, where do you think we should start the investigation?" Zhao Mingjing looked at Su Yuxi and asked.

Su Yuxi said modestly: "I am not good at handling cases. As a team leader, I only play the role of supervising the case handling process. It is better to leave it to professionals...but the detailed process must be reported to me."

Zhao Mingjing smiled slightly, knowing full well what the cabinet's plan was to push Su Yuxi forward first, but unfortunately they had miscalculated.

Su Yuxi is a member of the royalist party after all. Even if he "solves the case", he cannot become a member of the cabinet. The cabinet wants to alienate the relationship in this way... It can only be said that they are wishful thinking.

I believe that Su Yuxi already had some information about this case on hand, and she must have judged that this case is closely related to the imperial family. However, at this time, she expressed that she would not participate in the process of solving the case, which was already an attitude.

As for the cabinet making a fuss about her words, it is even more impossible because she said she would supervise the entire process.

But this cheap cousin of his was indeed very shrewd. She could get rid of him in one sentence without offending the cabinet too much.

Zhao Mingjing certainly didn't believe that Su Yuxi didn't stand on the side of the royalists, but the Haijin Massacre was indeed tricky and his reputation would be ruined if he was not careful.

As the princess of Chang'an, a country that has been defending the northern border against monsters, it would be a loss if her reputation was ruined because of a case.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mingjing looked at the two leaders of the Anti-Demon Trial Organization and the Sitian Bureau.

As the leaders of the Haijin City Magic Violence Agency, Chief Judge Wang Hanyu and Director Chen Jishu are both magicians at the level of Grand Mage. Putting aside their strength, as members of the Cabinet Party, they must be eager to find out the truth and ruin the reputation of the imperial family.

"What do you two think?" Zhao Mingjing asked.

"Find the sand source and the truth will be revealed." Wang Hanyu's answer was concise and to the point.

"This descendant of the Demon King was almost taken out of the country by Director Chen's men." Zhao Mingjing's face suddenly darkened and he slammed the table hard: "Such a big problem has occurred within the Sitian Bureau. Who invited you to participate in this meeting?!"

Chen Jishu narrowed his eyes, then stood up and said calmly: "Deputy Team Leader Zhao, I came here just to explain to you that the traitors in the Si Tian Bureau have absolutely nothing to do with me, and the Si Tian Bureau will not continue to participate in this case, but..."

He looked at Zhao Mingjing and spoke slowly: "Sha Yuan is the direct descendant of the Demon King Dai Ming, and he has a close personal relationship with Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty has any oral instructions for you to convey?"

Zhao Mingjing looked at Chen Jishu expressionlessly. After Chen Jishu glanced at Zhong Hanfeng and Wang Hanyu, he walked out of the meeting room with a calm expression.

boom!

Looking at the closed door, Su Yuxi leaned back in his chair and quietly turned his head to look out the window. It didn't matter what the truth was about the Si Tian Bureau members escorting Sunahara to the airport. What mattered was that the Si Tian Bureau was now eliminated.

With insufficient manpower, it is even more difficult to find the murderers.

'boring……'

Su Yuxi sighed softly in her heart. She should have gone to bed with her brother by now.

I finally got to see my brother, but once again I didn't get the right to sleep with him...

Sister Yu Shuang is definitely being very close to her brother right now. Will it last until tomorrow morning?

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to install surveillance in the newly bought house, and I didn't control the other main systems of "Sky", so I couldn't hack into the electronic equipment quietly.

"Ah... I'm so envious."

Su Yuxi thought uncomfortably, and couldn't help but imagine the live broadcast she had secretly watched before...

Quickly pinching her thigh to regain her focus, Su Yuxi took out her cell phone and watched some surveillance footage of the Sitian Bureau personnel escorting Sunahara to the airport.

Across from him, Zhao Mingjing regained his smile: "Father did give me an oral order to pass on..."

"You don't need to stand." Zhao Mingjing pressed his hands quickly, then looked at Zhong Hanfeng and said, "Father said that any means can be used against the suspected monsters in Haijin City. I hope the cabinet will do its best."

After a pause, his smile became brighter: "Father has issued an edict. At dawn, everyone will know the heavy responsibility on your shoulders."

Listening to Zhao Mingjing's voice, Zhong Hanfeng lowered his eyes slightly. This is putting the cabinet that manages Haijin City on the fire... Who would be willing to offend so many monsters?

Unfortunately, he is from Chang'an State and is not afraid of offending monsters.

……

Chapter 517 Yu Shuang, bellyband, and tulle!

Zhong Hanfeng walked out of the meeting room without saying a word, followed by Wang Hanyu, the chief judge of the [Anti-Demon Tribunal] and others with grim expressions.

Of course, he was dissatisfied with the edict issued by the emperor, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, Emperor Xuan'an was the supreme ruler of the empire, and the cabinet was his subjects.

Although the cabinet has the power to refute, it is obviously difficult to refute this matter as it will cause public resentment.

"Your Majesty has taken the good reputation, and the hard work is left to us..." Wang Hanyu whispered to Zhong Hanfeng: "Mayor Zhong, do you really want to fight to the death?"

Zhong Hanfeng lowered his eyelids slightly: "Everyone will be watching our reaction tomorrow, how dare we not fight hard?"

"Since all the staff of the Sitian Bureau cannot participate in the operation, how can I, the people under my command, handle it?" Wang Hanyu's expression was gloomy: "There are so many monsters in the city, and many of them have eaten people. How can we investigate?"

Zhong Hanfeng said calmly: "All the magicians from the Magicians' Association and the Magic Demon Hunters' Association will be dispatched. I will contact the garrison area to impose martial law."

Wang Hanyu was stunned for a moment, and spoke carefully, "Really, really want to do this? If we offend those monsters to death, the cabinet will blame us, right? Or should we contact the Prime Minister first?"

Zhong Hanfeng paused, turned his head and looked at Wang Hanyu expressionlessly: "I will take all the responsibility."

Wang Hanyu heaved a sigh of relief: "I will go and formulate a specific action plan right away."

Zhong Hanfeng looked at the others and said, "You guys should go too. You'll have to work hard these few days and meet any requirements of the task force."

Zhong Hanfeng walked out of the building of the [Anti-Demon Tribunal] again, got into the car and let out a sigh of relief.

Deal with the monsters and win the hearts of the people; don't deal with the monsters and make friends with the Demon King - both the imperial family and the cabinet can clearly see this, but the imperial family prefers the latter, while the cabinet is hesitant and can't make up its mind which one to choose.

To be precise, the cabinet wants it all, but its strength cannot support its ambitions.

The same was true for the imperial family, except that Emperor Xuan'an chose to cooperate with the monsters and tried to rule the country by tyranny afterwards.

Zhong Hanfeng turned his head and looked out the window, so he chose to follow Princess Chang'an.

The Northern Chang'an Kingdom has money and soldiers, but more importantly... the seven demon kings of the [Seven Corners Alliance] have never been able to go south!

Only Chang'an has the ability and willingness to change the status quo.

While thinking about it, Zhong Hanfeng dialed a number and began to report the content of the meeting to the Cabinet Chief Minister Xie Jianyang.

In the conference room.

Su Yuxi leaned back in her chair, looking up at the information about the Haijin massacre in her hands at the end of her outstretched arms.
