Chapter 197

Kujou Takayuki did not regret or complain about anything at this moment.

It was just a matter of the winner being the king and the loser being the bandit. At this moment, he could only say that fate was not on his side. It was just that the Kujou Clan might become an existence that would stink for ten thousand years because of his actions.

He also had no qualifications to face his ancestors.

"Your Excellency, there is a special secret compartment in my study with the things you need." Although Kujou Takayuki still did not think he was wrong, perhaps because of Raiden Ei's leniency or because he truly had loyalty to her, he actually confessed at this moment.

Raiden Ei snorted lightly and turned her gaze to Hiiragi Shinsuke. The meaning was clear: Kujou Takayuki had already expressed himself like this, so shouldn't you also express yourself?

Seeing this, Hiiragi Shinsuke hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, my daughter Hiiragi Chisato knows nothing about these matters. I ask that you give her a way to survive."

"Even if it means letting her go to other countries."

Seeing that the Raiden Shogun did not speak, Hiiragi Shinsuke continued: "Regarding the Sakoku Decree this time, almost all the families of the Kanjou Commission participated."

"If you want 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 moment.

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 a plaything for some people, or 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 was not completely ignorant about this Hiiragi Chisato.

At least Yae Miko had mentioned her before. This woman was not bad. Although she could not do what Kamisato Ayaka did—taking out all her family property to buy grain—Hiiragi Chisato was secretly helping some commoners, which could be considered having a conscience.

It was just that she lacked the courage to challenge her father.

Facing such a person, Raiden Ei did not mind letting her go. Compared to the black sheep who could be known for more, and who could be better used for a major bloodletting of Inazuma later, Raiden Ei could allow herself to let go of some irrelevant "good people."

Of course, for fellows like Kujou Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, no matter how much they contributed, Raiden Ei could not let them go.

Raiden Ei was even struggling with how to deal with them. Killing them with one strike was too cheap for them; they must die in pain.

Raiden Ei felt that she should ask Yae Miko later to think about how to torture people.

Raiden Ei, who had obtained evidence from Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujou Takayuki, could not calm her heart no matter what.

Sure enough, Inazuma was truly rotten. Kamisato Ayato had previously produced some evidence, but compared to the evidence of Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujou Takayuki, it was nothing.

Not only the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission, but there were also many problems within the Yashiro Commission. There were also some families that 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 was that many people among the Okuzumeshu, who were her personal guards, had also been infiltrated.

At this moment, Raiden Ei felt that no one was trustworthy.

Logically speaking, those who could become Okuzumeshu were her confidants, and they should all be the people who believed in her the most.

Moreover, they were all carefully selected!

But even the Okuzumeshu had been 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 meeting Sangonomiya Kokomi, this ornamental fish, Mu Yang returned to the Grand Narukami Shrine. There was no other way; he had nowhere to go for the time being and 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 stated his purpose directly.

Yae Miko did not refuse: "Do you want to try the hot spring at our Grand Narukami Shrine?"

"Makoto and Ei loved soaking in that hot spring the most back then. Unfortunately, for these five hundred years, no one has soaked with me except for myself."

"What? You want to soak in the hot spring with me! You're dreaming!" Mu Yang's words left Yae Miko, the whole fox, stunned.

It was always her teasing others before; when was it her turn to be teased like this?

Just thinking of the other party's identity, Yae Miko indicated that she could not afford to provoke him, could not afford to provoke him!

"I went to see Sangonomiya Kokomi before, and she was already preparing her will!" Seeing Yae Miko like this, Mu Yang chuckled and said words that made Yae Miko happy.

"Hahaha, is that shrine maiden so cute? It seems Ei scared her!" Yae Miko revealed a happy expression upon hearing this, and even her fox tail was exposed, swaying back and forth.

Clearly, Yae Miko was very satisfied with this matter.

Sangonomiya Kokomi could be considered high command on Watatsumi Island, and the other party had 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 was a chance to bully Sangonomiya Kokomi, Yae Miko did not mind, and was even happy to see it happen.

"After all, she is the Raiden Shogun."

"Watatsumi Island without a god has no way to resist at all!"

"Anyone would be afraid. However, she is quite interesting; perhaps she can become your right-hand man in the future." Mu Yang shrugged, and then, under Yae Miko's arrangement, came to the hot spring to soak.

Don't say it, this was Mu Yang's first time soaking in an authentic hot spring in his life.

Before crossing over, 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 entered the hot spring, Yae Miko welcomed another guest.

It could not be called a guest, after all, all of Inazuma belonged to her.

"Eh? Ei, why are you here?" Yae Miko looked at Raiden Ei with some suspicion, and her heart was also a bit uneasy.

Mu Yang clearly did not want to expose his identity and wanted to tease Raiden Ei. As Raiden Ei's good friend, she naturally had to cooperate with Mu Yang to bully Raiden Ei.

Good friends are not for teasing.

Ei wouldn't have sensed Mu Yang's aura and come over, would she?

"Miko, I have many things that need your help!" Raiden Ei did not notice Yae Miko's abnormality and said to her 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 are in trouble."

"We may not have enough talent to govern the country." Raiden Ei mentioned those nobles and also revealed a gnashing expression.

Clearly, Raiden Ei also hated those fellows to the bone.

"This is indeed a huge problem." Upon hearing this, Yae Miko also fell into deep thought: "The Kamisato siblings can both be used."

"Sangonomiya Kokomi can serve as the head of the Kanjou Commission, but she must be constantly beaten down; otherwise, she is very likely to do something."

"As the price for treating Watatsumi Island well, Sangonomiya Kokomi needs to do things for you."

"Although Kujou Sara is a member of the Kujou Clan, she is loyal to you and can still serve as a 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."

"Mm, there is indeed no one qualified to be the head of the Tenryou Commission in Inazuma now." Raiden Ei nodded deeply.

Yae Miko thought again; there was no way, it was really that there was no one in Inazuma now!

Originally, Yae Miko wanted to recommend Kuki Shinobu; after all, Kuki Shinobu's ability was indeed quite good.
