The Homeless Man of Teyvat

During the lockdown period, in principle, if you want to truly set foot on Narukami's territory, you must first pass the outlying island checkpoint. The outlying islands are under the jurisdiction of the surveyors. Anyone entering or leaving the outlying islands must hold various certificates before they can enter or leave the place. These certificates often require complicated procedures and some special relationships to obtain.

Of course, if you don't have any connections and don't want to go through the cumbersome and impossible-to-success procedures, you can also choose to spend a large amount of money or rare property to temporarily make friends with connections. We are happy to see this happen and are willing to make friends with generous travelers.

If you have neither connections nor money, you will not be able to get the voucher smoothly, and you will have to stop briefly on the outlying island to take a brief look at the red maples and green tiles and the depressed fishing village with other outsiders stranded here.

In addition to handling the entry and exit certificates, the appraiser is also in charge of the taxation of Inazuma. Although he is timid about the local rich and big family industries, he attacks foreign merchants and small traders and never shows mercy. Although the life of foreign traders is becoming more and more difficult, at least the life of the Hiiragi family is becoming more and more prosperous.

But not long ago, for some reason, the taxation policy was suddenly changed from a frenzied killing of chickens to retrieve the eggs, to a sustainable fishing of the lake like boiling frogs in lukewarm water.

Although they are not good things, the latter fortunately gives the businessmen a chance to breathe. If they work hard, maybe the frog will jump out of the pot.

For a time, many foreign businessmen were talking about it, guessing what the plan was up to.

Some say that seeing the misery and poverty of the merchants, they want to raise leeks before cutting them; some say that the other two clans, seeing that the merchants could not decide to eat alone, jointly exerted pressure, and now the three clans of Inazuma are negotiating on how to completely devour their property; some say It is said that his own god finally noticed his people and put pressure on Narukami.

There are many guesses, but no one thought that it would be the appointment and implementation, the Hiiragi family's reformation and good intentions... Under the management of the Hiiragi family, the assessment and implementation has long been a group of guys who only care about money and have filthy black water flowing in their hearts. , how could he have any kind intentions?

Instead of believing this, it is better to believe that the thunder that resounded through Narukami Island two days ago was General Raiden realizing that the Kujo family in Tianling was rebellious, so a thunder split the Kujo family into ruins.

"Is this what is said outside?"

"Yes, my lord."

The waiter bowed his head, not daring to look at Shinsuke Hiiragi in the first place, but could easily hear his hidden anger in his voice.

And a trace of fear that cannot be ignored.

When the castle tower collapsed and the shogun disappeared, the head of the family had no fear. But now, after the shogun returns and a bolt of thunder turns the Kujo family into ruins, the head of the family is afraid like this. Could it be that...

The waiter was shocked and quickly collected his thoughts without revealing anything.

It's just that all kinds of speculations inevitably popped up in his mind, and he subconsciously looked for his own way out.

"What about the Society? They are in charge of people's livelihood. Didn't they deal with the rumors?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke felt irritated: "Have the people sent to Kamisato's house returned? What's the news?"

"This..." The waiter hesitated.

"explain!"

Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes were slightly cold.

"Yes Yes!"

The waiter trembled and said quickly: "Sir Kamisato said that half of the Kamisato clan has been banned from going out by the palace minister, so... so... let the Hiiragi family seek their own blessings."

"Half of the people? There are only two brothers and sisters in his Kamisato family! He told me about half of the people?!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Shinsuke Hiiragi was so angry that he threw the teacup and his face turned ugly.

Just because his sister was banned, this bastard Ayato Kamisato actually abandoned their agreement!

No, the agreement this bastard made with him was also perfunctory!

Shinsuke Hiiragi reacted and smashed another glass in anger. Then he calmed down a little and noticed some violations.

The ban...why was it issued by the Palace Secretary?

Even if the Eightfold Son of God is a descendant of the gods, he does not have the right to directly interfere with the Third Order, unless...

Hiiragi Shinsuke was stunned, cold sweat dripping down his back.

Unless God agrees!

So this is the punishment imposed on the Kamisato family by the shogun, but why is it so easy?

The Kujo family mansion was in ruins, Kujo Takayuki died, and his son Kujo Kamaharu was seriously injured. The Kujo family vassals dispersed in a hurry. Even the surname "Kujo" gradually became a sinner family in the eyes of the people who betrayed the gods.

Why did his Kamisato family face such an easy trial? !

Shinsuke Hiiragi's heart was twisted with jealousy, and he only hated himself for not being able to hug Yae Kamiko's thigh as tightly as the Kamisato family did. His expression changed, sometimes fearing that the Hiiragi family would meet the end of the Kujo family, and sometimes imagining that the Hiiragi family would be let off lightly, or that a heavy punishment wouldn't hurt - being punished heavily meant that God was willing to give the Hiiragi family a chance to change.

The Kujo family didn't even have the chance to be severely punished!

Shinsuke Hiiragi took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down the panic and fear in his heart. He looked down at the waiter who was half-kneeling with his head lowered, and waved his hand: "Go down."

"Yes, my lord."

The waiter, whose clothes were stained with tea stains, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to salute before leaving.

"etc."

Hiiragi Shinsuke stopped him, frowning: "What is Qianri doing?"

…

The eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family, Chisato Hiiragi, is the only daughter of Shinsuke Hiiragi and the only heir to the next head of the Hiiragi family.

In the eyes of ordinary people, for such a noble young lady, even if she is not proficient in all aspects of literature, Taoism and military strategy, her words and deeds should be so noble that no one can fault her.

But such a noble lady was carrying a package and was planning to sneak away quietly through the back door of Hiiragi Mansion.

"Thousands of miles."

There was a voice coming from behind.

Qianli Hiiragi stiffened slightly, turned around, and tried hard but clumsily to hide the package behind him. He looked at the stern-faced Shinsuke Hiiragi behind him and smiled: "Father, why are you here?"

"What are you going to do?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi obviously did not accept this trick. He waved his hand, and the samurai who obeyed the orders of the Hiiragi family took a step forward. After saluting Senri Hiiragi, he motioned Senri Hiiragi to hand over the package behind him.

"..."

Chisato Hiiragi pursed her lips and did not force herself to refuse. After handing the package to the samurai, she looked at Shinsuke Hiiragi: "Father, I just want to go out for a walk... You can't always keep me at home."

"Going out for a walk? Do you plan to go to Tianling to worship?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi took the package, weighed it, and glared at Chisato Hiiragi: "Come with me!"

Chisato Hiiragi sighed, glanced at the door that was close at hand, and then glanced at the expressionless samurai beside him. He gave up his plan to run away from home and followed Shinsuke Hiiragi.

The two of them walked forward and stopped at the pavilion in the courtyard. Shinsuke Hiiragi put the package on the stone table and looked at his daughter who didn't know what was going on: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Know."

Qianli Hiiragi nodded.

"Know? You know...you know something!"

When Hiiragi Shinsuke saw Hiiragi Chisato's appearance, his anger suddenly surged up. He suppressed the curse and pointed at the package: "What is Inazuma's current situation and what will the Hiiragi family face next? Do you know this? In your heart Is it just that kid from the Kujo family?”

Of Inazuma's three executions, only the Kansei executions have yet to face the judgment of the gods. No one can predict how the shogun will punish them. But at this juncture, his daughter Chisato Hiiragi, the eldest daughter and sole heir of the Hiiragi family, was going to the Kujo family to visit the seriously injured criminal Kujo Kamaji!

Once this matter is known to someone who is interested, it will definitely give the Hiiragi family a disrespectful label of being dissatisfied with the judgment of God!

Then the Hiiragi family really has no way to survive!

Shinsuke Hiiragi looked at his daughter who was silent with her head lowered and biting her lip without saying a word. He hated the fact that iron is not made of steel and sighed tiredly: "Qianli, what is so good about that boy from the Kujo family that he deserves to be treated like this by you?" pay?"

"He loves me very much, respects me, and cares about me. With him, I can feel the future that truly belongs to me, instead of the life that I can see at a glance now."

Chisato Hiiragi took a deep breath and looked up into his father's eyes, with sadness and doubt in his eyes: "Father, why do you have to stop Kamaji and me?"

"Respect? Care? Stop?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi seemed to want to laugh, but couldn't. He closed his eyes and opened them quickly: "You should have been exchanging letters with Kujo Kamaji. Did he tell you in the letter what Takahiro Kujo and I did to stop you? ?"

"some."

"……speak out."

"Kamaji said that I am the only daughter of the Hiiragi family and will definitely inherit the position of head of the family in the future. But he is only the second son of the Kujo family and has no inheritance rights, so you stopped us."

After Chisato Hiiragi finished retelling, there was moisture in his eyes: "Father, is identity really so important?"

Just because her and Kamaji's identities are not equal, does the love between them have no meaning?

Shinsuke Hiiragi looked at her, as if he had aged much in an instant, and closed his eyes again: "...I was wrong."

"Father?"

Qianli Hiiragi looked astonished. It was the first time he saw his father like this. He looked as if he was filled with grief and despair.

"It is my fault."

Shinsuke Hiiragi repeated it and opened his eyes: "The mistake is that I have protected you too well these years, so that you turned into this kind of trash who only has the love of children in his heart!"

"..."

Qianli Hiiragi froze on the spot, at a loss.

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Send the young lady back to her room. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"

Hiiragi Shinsuke flicked his sleeves and stopped looking at Hiiragi Senri, and was about to leave.

"……Father?"

Qianli Hiiragi came back to his senses, anxious, confused and angry: "Father! Why, father! What did I do wrong!?"

"What's wrong? Okay! I'll tell you!"

Shinsuke Hiiragi stopped and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion. He immediately looked towards the direction of the commotion and yelled angrily: "What's going on?! What are you doing?!"

"Bang!!"

What responded to him were the family warriors who flew upside down into the courtyard, and Kujo Sora, who was wearing armor and had dark golden eyes, leading many shogunate troops in with an indifferent expression.

"The adopted daughter of the Kujo family?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Kujo Sora and the shogunate army behind him, and said coldly: "What do you want to do? Could it be that because the Kujo family is destroyed, you want to go crazy and bring everyone with you to destroy it!"

He looked at the shogunate soldiers holding weapons and scolded: "You are crazy too! How dare you break into the Hiiragi family with the sinners of the Kujo family, the family most loyal to the shogun! Aren't you afraid of the shogun's divine punishment!" "

However, the shogunate army did not react at all. They still stood behind Kujo Sora, exuding an astonishing bloody evil aura. They were obviously brave veterans who had seen blood on the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles.

Kujo Sara glanced at him, ignoring his questions and scolding, and then looked at Chisato Hiiragi who was frightened by this incident behind him.

Kujo Sara nodded and raised his palm: "According to the oracle of the general, arrest the rebellious Hiiragi family. Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!!"

The shogunate army responded in unison, and then stepped forward in silence, staring at the Hiiragi warriors with excitement and bloodthirstiness, as if they were looking forward to their courage to resist.

"Kujo-sama!" A samurai took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Is this really the will of the general?"

Kujo Sara raised his hand, holding a purple divine eye in his hand, and said solemnly: "Murakami is watching his people."

The samurai looked at each other, and noticed that the shogunate army began to accelerate its pace. They no longer hesitated, quickly put down their weapons, raised their hands, and shouted urgently: "We will follow the will of the general!"

Although they had sworn to be loyal to the Hiiragi family, all this was based on a premise: the Hiiragi family would not betray the general or Inazuma.

Now that the Hiiragi family was defined as a rebellious family by the general, there was no need for them to work for the Hiiragi family anymore.

The shogunate soldiers were obviously very regretful. Some of them were a little slow to collect the weapons of the samurai, deliberately giving them the opportunity to seize the sword and kill them; some quickly took down the Hiiragi father and daughter and tied them tightly with ropes that had been prepared long ago.

The samurai looked straight ahead and cooperated very well, wishing they could tie themselves up with the ropes of the shogunate army.

Chisato Hiiragi's face was pale, like a frightened little animal, and she just managed not to faint, but she didn't know what to do, and what she could do.

Shinsuke Hiiragi tried to struggle but to no avail. He gritted his teeth and looked at Kujo Sara: "The Hiiragi family was wronged! I want to see the general! The Hiiragi family did not rebel! The Hiiragi family did not betray!"

"The general will not see you."

Kujo Sara glanced at him, his dark golden eyes calm, and turned away: "Take him away."

"Yes!"

The shogunate soldiers responded in unison.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Sara! Kujo-sama!"

Shinsuke Hiiragi struggled hard, but was punched in the abdomen by an impatient soldier. He immediately hunched over, with bloodshot eyes and coughing in pain.

"Father!"

Hiiragi Chisato looked flustered and wanted to run to Hiiragi Shinsuke, but was stopped by the expressionless shogunate soldier.

Kujo Sara stopped and glanced at the shogunate soldier who took action, causing his face to change. He quickly knelt on one knee, with cold sweat coming out.

"When you go back, accept the punishment yourself."

"Yes, Lord Kujo!"

Kujo Sara retracted his gaze and looked at Hiiragi Shinsuke: "What do you want to say?"

"Ahem...Kujo...Lord Kujo..."

Hiiragi Shinsuke coughed, not caring about his embarrassment, and pleaded with his eyes: "Chisato, Chisato doesn't know anything, at least she is innocent. Please, Lord Kujo, please save her for the sake of our past relationship... Lord Kujo, please..."

"Father..."

Hiiragi Qianli burst into tears and struggled hard: "Let me go! Let me go!"

"..."

Kujo Sara looked at the father and daughter, silent for a few seconds, and slowly shook his head: "Whether guilty or innocent, the general will decide."

She paused and turned around: "However, if Chisato Hiiragi is really innocent, I will make a suggestion to the general."

"Thank you, Lord Kujo! Thank you, Lord Kujo!"

Hiiragi Shinsuke bowed his head to the ground in the direction of Kujo Sara, paying a great tribute.
