Chapter 113
Raiden Ei still had a deep memory of Hiiragi Shinsuke’s ancestors; that was indeed a hero. Hiiragi Shinsuke’s behavior indeed tarnished this family.
Facing Hiiragi Shinsuke’s accusation, Kujou Takayuki did not refute it at all, just silently lowered his head. He did not think he had done anything wrong.
As long as the Raiden Shogun is still there, as long as the Musou no Hitotachi is still there, Inazuma will not perish. Even if the people below die, what does it have to do with him, Kujou Takayuki?
It is just that he could not say such words to Raiden Ei.
The Raiden Shogun is the Raiden Shogun of the subjects of Inazuma, not the Raiden Shogun of Kujou Takayuki alone.
Thinking of this, Kujou Takayuki also sighed silently. He said to Raiden Ei: "Shogun, I am willing to hand over all the evidence of interest exchanges and evidence of cooperation with the Fatui. I hope the Shogun can give the Kujou Clan a way to live."
"My two sons, they did not participate in these matters."
"Do they know what you did?"
"Do not lie, you cannot deceive me!" Raiden Ei said coldly.
Kujou Takayuki was silent. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The eldest son, Kujou Masahito, knows a little bit. The second son, Kujou Kamaji, does not know about these things. He even opposed the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree to me before, but he was scolded by me."
Raiden Ei silently closed her eyes: "Kujou Masahito must die, and other relevant personnel of the Kujou Clan must also die."
"As for Kujou Kamaji, from now on, he is stripped of the Kujou surname and cannot continue to live in Inazuma as a noble. All the family property of the Kujou Clan needs to be confiscated to compensate for the losses of the commoners of Inazuma."
"At the same time, Kujou Kamaji and his descendants need to make up for your crimes and live as sinners from now on."
Kujou Takayuki trembled all over upon hearing this. He never thought that the Shogun would actually do this.
At first, he also had some regrets. If the Vision holders were still there, would there be someone who could deal with those monsters on Narukami Island?
But considering that those people could obtain Visions, and neither he nor his two sons had obtained Visions, he became jealous.
As the highest-ranking nobles in Inazuma, they did not obtain Visions, so why could those people obtain them?
Especially after the two siblings of the Kamisato Clan both obtained Visions, Kujou Takayuki’s jealousy became even more severe.
He hated everyone who obtained a Vision!
And he wanted to destroy them.
Moreover, the Fatui gave too much, and their cooperation was too pleasant.
He believed that as long as it continued like this, the Kujou Clan’s status in Inazuma would become more and more unbreakable. He just did not expect that the ley lines would suddenly become chaotic, monsters would increase, and food would also have problems.
If there were no such things, the Raiden Shogun would not have discovered the problem, right?
Kujou Takayuki did not regret or complain about anything at this time.
It is just a matter of winner and loser. At this moment, he can only say that destiny is not on his side, but the Kujou Clan may become a laughingstock for ten thousand years because of his behavior.
He also has no qualifications to face his ancestors.
"Shogun, there is a special secret compartment in my study that has what you need." Although Kujou Takayuki still did not think he was wrong, he did not know if it was because of Raiden Ei’s leniency or because he really had loyalty to Raiden Ei, but at this moment, he actually confessed directly.
Raiden Ei gave a light hum and turned her gaze to Hiiragi Shinsuke at the side. The meaning was very clear: Kujou Takayuki has already expressed himself like this, so are you going to express yourself too?
Seeing this, Hiiragi Shinsuke hurriedly said: "Shogun, my daughter Hiiragi Chisato knows nothing about these things. I ask the Shogun to give her a way to live."
"Even if it is letting her go to other nations."
Seeing that the Raiden Shogun did not speak, Hiiragi Shinsuke continued: "Regarding this Sakoku Decree, almost all the families of the Kanjou Commission have participated in it."
"If the Shogun wants to take action against the Kanjou Commission, I am afraid all the families will have to be moved."
Compared to Kujou Takayuki, Hiiragi Shinsuke was truly afraid at this time.
He understood some of the twists and turns of the nobles. If his daughter lost his protection and became a sinner, her life would not be very good, and she might even become someone’s plaything, or even worse, a public plaything. This was something Hiiragi Shinsuke could not accept.
"I understand!" Raiden Ei did not care about letting Hiiragi Chisato go.
She did not know nothing about this Hiiragi Chisato.
At least Yae Miko had mentioned Hiiragi Chisato before. This woman is not bad. Although she cannot do like Kamisato Ayaka, taking out all the family property to buy grain, Hiiragi Chisato is still secretly helping some commoners, which can be considered to have a conscience.
It is just that she did not have the courage to challenge her father.
Facing such a person, Raiden Ei did not mind letting the other party go. Compared to the black sheep that can be known more, and can better carry out a major bloodbath of Inazuma later, Raiden Ei can allow herself to let go of some irrelevant "good people."
Of course, for guys like Kujou Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, no matter how much contribution they have made, Raiden Ei cannot let them go.
Raiden Ei was even struggling with how to deal with them. Killing them with one blade is a bit too easy for them; they must be made to die in pain.
Raiden Ei felt that she should still go and ask Yae Miko later, and let her think about how to torture people.
Raiden Ei, who obtained evidence from Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujou Takayuki, could not calm down in her heart.
Sure enough, Inazuma is truly rotten. Kamisato Ayato had taken out some evidence before, but compared to the evidence of Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujou Takayuki, it was simply nothing.
Not only the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission, but there were also many problems within the Yashiro Commission, and some families also had good connections with Kujou Takayuki and the others, wanting to snatch the position of the head of the Yashiro Commission from the Kamisato Clan.
The most critical thing is that among the Okuzumeshu, who are her personal guards, many have also been infiltrated.
At this moment, Raiden Ei felt that no one could be trusted.
Logically speaking, those who can become Okuzumeshu are her confidants, and they should all be the people who believe in her the most.
Moreover, they were all carefully selected!
But even the Okuzumeshu were infiltrated. No wonder she could not receive any intelligence from the outside. If the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had not suddenly pulled her out of the Plane of Euthymia, would Inazuma have perished by the time she reacted?
…………………………………………
After Mu Yang saw the ornamental fish Sangonomiya Kokomi, he returned to the Grand Narukami Shrine. There was no way; he had nowhere to go for the time being, and he did not want to live outside, so he could only find this crafty fox.
"I need you to prepare a place for me to stay today." Mu Yang directly stated his intention.
Yae Miko did not refuse: "Do you want to try the hot spring of our Grand Narukami Shrine?"
"Makoto and Ei used to love soaking in that hot spring the most. It is a pity that for these five hundred years, apart from me, no one has soaked in it together."
"What? You want to soak in the hot spring with me! Dream on!" Mu Yang’s words made Yae Miko, the whole fox, stunned.
In the past, it was always her teasing others like this; when was it her turn to be teased like this?
Just thinking of the other party’s identity, Yae Miko expressed that she could not afford to offend, could not afford to offend!
"I went to see Sangonomiya Kokomi before, and she was already preparing her will!" Seeing Yae Miko like this, Mu Yang also chuckled and said words that made Yae Miko happy.
"Hahaha, is that shrine maiden so cute? It seems Ei scared her!" Yae Miko also showed a happy expression upon hearing this, and even her fox tail was exposed, swaying back and forth.
Obviously, Yae Miko was very satisfied with this matter.
Sangonomiya Kokomi can also be considered a high-level figure of Watatsumi Island, and the other party has also caused quite a bit of trouble in Inazuma.
Although some things were actually under Yae Miko’s tacit approval, she chose to turn a blind eye.
But now that there is a chance to bully Sangonomiya Kokomi, Yae Miko does not mind, and is even happy to see it happen.
"After all, she is the Raiden Shogun."
"Watatsumi Island without a god has no way to resist!"
"Anyone would be afraid, but she is very interesting. Perhaps in the future, she can also become your right-hand man." Mu Yang spread his hands, and then under Yae Miko’s arrangement, he came to the hot spring to bathe.
Not to mention, this was Mu Yang’s first time soaking in an authentic hot spring in his life.
Before transmigrating, he had indeed soaked in some so-called hot springs, but those were artificial hot springs, which could not be compared to this authentic hot spring at all.
Just as Mu Yang had just entered the hot spring, Yae Miko welcomed another guest.
It cannot be said to be a guest, after all, the entire Inazuma belongs to others.
"Eh? Ei, why are you here?" Yae Miko looked at Raiden Ei with some suspicion, and her heart was also filled with anxiety.
Mu Yang clearly did not want to expose his identity and still wanted to tease Raiden Ei. As Raiden Ei’s good girlfriend, she naturally had to cooperate with Mu Yang to bully Raiden Ei.
Good friends are not used for teasing.
Ei wouldn’t have sensed Mu Yang’s aura and come over, right?
"Miko, I have many things that need your help!" Raiden Ei did not notice Yae Miko’s abnormality and said to Yae Miko with a sincere tone.
"Tell me about it!" Seeing Raiden Ei like this, Yae Miko also became serious.
"Many people will die in Inazuma later, but most of the nobles have had accidents."
"We may not have enough talent to govern the country." Raiden Ei mentioned those nobles and also showed a gnashing expression.
Obviously, Raiden Ei also hated those guys to the bone.
"This is indeed a huge problem." Upon hearing this, Yae Miko also fell into deep thought: "The two siblings of the Kamisato Clan can be used."
"Sangonomiya Kokomi can be the head of the Kanjou Commission, but Sangonomiya Kokomi must be constantly beaten, otherwise, she is very likely to do some things."
"As the price for treating Watatsumi Island well, Sangonomiya Kokomi needs to do things for you."
"Although Kujou Sara is a person of the Kujou Clan, she is loyal to you and can still be the general of Inazuma. As for the position of the head of the Tenryou Commission, it can be left vacant for now, and we will talk about it when someone is qualified in the future."
"Hmm, there is indeed no one qualified to be the head of the Tenryou Commission in Inazuma now." Raiden Ei nodded deeply.
Yae Miko pondered again. There was no way; it was really that there was no one in Inazuma now!
Originally, Yae Miko also wanted to recommend Kuki Shinobu, after all, Kuki Shinobu’s ability is indeed quite good.
