I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

"That's just because Master doesn't like to eat meat."

"Iyeas, you've only been in the imperial capital for a short time, and you've gained so much weight."

Tatsumi and Iyeas were fighting over the same piece of meat. Tatsumi, who got the meat, started teasing Iyeas.

After being transferred to the position of squad leader of the guard team, they can eat food provided by the guard team for free every day.

Every time he eats, Iyeas eats until he can't eat anymore. As a result, even though he does a lot of training every day, Iyeas still looks a lot fatter.

"You two are fighting at the dinner table."

"Can't you just have a good meal?"

Looking at the two people fighting over food on the table, Shayou rolled her eyes at them.

The two have been fighting each other ever since they were in the village.

However, Yoriichi Tsugakuni on the side found the fight between the two very interesting.

Looking at the two of them, he thought of his brother.

It would be great if he could be like this with his brother.

"Since I have regained my youth, should my family members also regain their youth?"

While eating the rice ball in his hand, an idea suddenly popped into Tsugumi Yuichiro's mind.

Although this idea was ridiculous, he was still looking forward to it.

If that were the case, his life might have changed.

"By the way, when I was out on patrol today, I saw a lot of refugees walking into the city."

"It's as if a famine broke out in the Southern generation."

While eating, Sai Liu suddenly remembered something.

For Seru now, work has often become a part of her life.

Therefore, even when she was eating, she would involuntarily think of some work matters.

"Come to think of it, I don't know what's happening with our hometown."

"Due to drought in recent years, many parts of the empire have experienced no harvest for several consecutive years."

After hearing Seriou say that there were refugees in the imperial capital, Shayou became a little worried.

They have been away from their hometown for several months.

"When we get our salaries, we'll send the money back."

"I hope there won't be another severe drought there this year."

Sau mentioned something about her hometown, causing Tatsumi and Iyeas to stop fighting.

The two of them became serious.

If the villagers in their hometown had not pooled money to let them out, the three of them would never have been able to come to the imperial capital.

'Famine?'

The news about Serius made Ji Guoyuan think a lot.

During his lifetime, he had encountered many famines, and each famine was often followed by an outbreak of epidemics and wars.

Therefore, he became somewhat worried about the future of the empire.

. . . . . .

On the street, carriages were moving quickly.

From the complicated decorations on these carriages, it can be seen that the people riding in them are either rich or noble.

Carriages coming from all directions finally gathered in front of a luxurious and heavily guarded mansion.

Many people quickly got off the carriage.

These people did not nod to each other and quickly entered the mansion.

After entering the mansion, these people began to wait quietly in the waiting room.

As time went on, the number of these people reached dozens.

From the clothes of these people, it can be seen that some of them are businessmen, some are officials, and there are also many nobles, but no one dares to make a loud noise.

It seems like he is waiting for some important person.

"I've met my lord."

"Please make the decision for us, sir."

Everyone in the waiting room was waiting anxiously when the servant brought the tea for the fifth time.

Ernest walked in with a dignified look on his face.

Seeing Ernest appear, everyone who was waiting in the hall saluted him one after another, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look directly into Ernest's eyes.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Ernest sat down in a chair in the waiting room.

His indifferent gaze swept over everyone in the hall, his tone full of majesty.

If Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was here, he would definitely be very surprised, because Ernest at this moment was completely different from the one he had seen before.

"Many of our people were captured by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's security team."

"He's just a small guard captain, yet he doesn't even give you the slightest bit of respect."

An officer stepped forward and told Ernest the reason for their visit.

His son molested a civilian girl in the imperial capital, who later jumped into the river and died.

Originally, when Ou Ka was here, this case had never been concluded and was still under investigation.

However, as soon as Tsugikoku Yoshiichi took over the security team, he quickly closed the case under investigation.

His son was quickly arrested by the security team.

When he was arrested, he also hinted that he was promoted by Minister Ernest.

But unexpectedly, it had no effect at all.

Chapter 57: A Different Ernest, Plans for the Future

"Oh?"

“So it’s because of this incident.”

Hearing the official's words, Ernest's eyes narrowed slightly.

He tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, still looking at the people in the hall without much expression.

"If he hasn't violated the laws of the empire, then you may leave."

"I advise everyone to take care of your own affairs and not involve me."

After pondering for a while, Minister Ernest slowly spoke, although compared with his previous expression, there was a smile on his face.

But the pressure it brought to everyone was much greater than before.

After hearing what Ernest said, everyone present could hardly believe their ears.

They didn't expect that Ernest would choose to give in on this matter.

This has never happened before.

And they could also hear a threat in Ernest's words.

This made everyone realize that Yoriichi Tsugikuni was more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.

Soon after Ernest made his attitude clear, he left the waiting room.

"Why did you leave Tsugikoku Yoshiichi alone, sir?"

Suzuka followed Ernest to a deserted place and asked curiously.

"Compared to those good-for-nothings, people like Tsugikoku Yoriichi are the real weapons."

Ernest fumbled with the ring in his hand. He had been struggling in the officialdom all his life.

It is naturally clear that something like face is not worth mentioning at all when you can get the protection of an extremely powerful master.

As long as Tsugikuni Yoriichi doesn't openly oppose him, he will not easily have any unpleasant experiences with this young man.

"But even the best weapon needs to be used with restraint."

Walking slowly towards his study, Ernest began to think.

As a high-ranking official in the empire, he has been playing with power and people's hearts all his life, so he is naturally very experienced in controlling his subordinates.

In his opinion, Ji Guoyuanyi is a rough diamond that needs further polishing.

. . . . . .

late at night.

After a small gathering with everyone.

Tsugumi Yuichiro returned to his residence.

Because it was still early, Jiguo Yuanyi started reading a book at the desk.

"A stranger is approaching... A stranger is approaching."

Ah Dai's green pupils suddenly lit up, and a mechanical prompt sound rang out in the room.

Jiguo Yuanyi patted A'dai's head gently. He had already noticed the person coming outside the window.

"This is your Teigu. Your perception ability is quite strong."

A moth flew in from outside the window, and after a slight flash, Chelsea appeared in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Looking at Ah Dai staring at her with a wooden sword in his hand, the mechanical man in front of her seemed a little funny.

But for some reason, she felt that there was a shadow of Yoriichi Tsugikuni on the mechanical man.

And it feels very threatening.

"How did you come?"

Seeing Chelsea appear, Yuichiro Tsugikoshi looked at her with some confusion.

He had made it very clear last time that he did not want to have anything to do with the revolutionary army.

"I was passing by and came to take a look."

Chelsea sat down on the bed next to Ji Guoyuan.

Her main task recently is to contact Yuichiro Tsugumi. Of course, it is not really as she said, she just passed by.

Jiguo Yuanyi shook his head and gently patted a mechanical hand that was resting on the hilt of the wooden sword.

Ah Dai was obviously hostile towards Chelsea, a stranger.

In fact, after imitating him for a while, the current Ah Dai's strength is probably comparable to Tatsumi's.

Yoriichi Tsugakuni also roughly understood the special features of this imperial weapon.

That is to imitate the user of the imperial weapon and grow.

As for how far he can grow, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi is not sure.

"You've been searching for something."

"Perhaps our night raid can help you."

Seeing that Yoshiichi Tsugakuin no longer paid attention to her, Chelsea was not angry. Based on some information given by Labock, she had contact with Yoshiichi Tsugakuin several more times.

Chelsea noticed that Yoriichi Tsugikuni seemed to be looking for somewhere.
