And it happens frequently.
In this way, based on the previous rumors, the people of Narukami Island had to suspect that it was the people of Umigi Island who did it.
This also made it impossible for Kaigi Island to clear itself of all grievances, and then under the pressure from Narukami Island, most of the Kaigi Island residents who did not rebel were forced to join the rebellion.
Therefore, in Coral Palace's opinion, the person behind all this had a very sinister plan.
Although she is the leader of Kaigi Island and has the final say.
But if faced with the pressure of Ming Shen Island, or even that god, it is inevitable that everyone will choose not to listen to themselves in order to survive.
By that time, Kaigi Island will be completely confronted with Narukami Island, and the situation will be irreversible.
Coral Palace forced himself to calm down, his brain spinning rapidly as he thought about strategies to deal with the situation.
"Concurrently in charge, give orders to everyone not to leave 893 Haiji Island during this period of time."
"And strictly monitor the seaport, and don't let anyone in at will!"
Coral Palace Xinhai quickly gave an order to his retainers.
Now she had to first ensure that there was no chaos on Kaigi Island.
After all, in the first step of the other party's plan, she had already noticed that the mastermind had infiltrated Kaigi Island.
So she thought of starting from this aspect first, catching these people, and perhaps she could get some information from them.
As the retainers left, Coral Palace Xinhai's face was filled with worry.
She knew very well that if the two islands really went to war, their chances of winning would be very low.
After all, the god of Mingjin Island will not sit idly by.
When she strikes, who can stop her? !
Sad! This is really worrying!
Coral Palace Xinhai is now so worried about this matter that she has no appetite even for her favorite snacks placed beside her.
However, just when she was at a loss, another piece of bad news came.
"It's bad, Master Coral Palace."
"Just now when I was giving orders to each household to count the number of people in their family, I received news that almost all the young and middle-aged people in the family went to Mingshen Island to do business with a few merchants, and they haven't returned yet!"
When Coral Palace Xinhai heard the news, he suddenly felt a headache.
But at this time, there were still islanders there, and things became completely troublesome.
Chapter 296: Difficulties of Kande Bugyo
After listening to everyone's stories, Kujo Sara shifted his gaze from the steward Mita to Kaedehara Manye and his group.
Especially for the two islanders from Kaigi Island behind her, she couldn't help but frown.
Now that such a big thing has happened on Narukami Island, and now she just happens to meet someone from Kaigi Island, she can't help but have the illusion that the other party is the mastermind behind all this.
Although Kujo Sara's intuition told her that this matter was most likely unrelated to the people from Kaigi Island, this group of people appeared here by coincidence.
As the adopted daughter of Tenryo Bugyo, who is in charge of the entire public security issue, she naturally has to perform her duties conscientiously and not let go of any mistakes or omissions.
"I already know the matter!"
"Manager Mita, as an open country, Inazuma naturally welcomes merchants from all countries to do business here."
"As the manager in charge of this area, you treat them differently. This is wrong!"
"I will report your case to the higher-ups, and they will punish you when the time comes."
Kujo Sara said in a slightly unfriendly tone to the Kanjo Bugyo's manager Mita.
Her words were meant to remind the other party that his approach was wrong and would easily cause dissatisfaction among merchants from other countries.
At the same time, it is also a warning to the other party not to do any more tricks.
"As for you..."
"Kaedehara Manye, everyone has seen what you did. According to Inazuma's rules, you will be arrested and detained for a period of time. Do you know this?"
Kujo Sara then looked towards Kaedehara Manyo and explained his illegal behavior.
"Why? This little brother was just fighting for justice for us! Why do you want to punish him?"
When Kaedehara Manye heard the shogunate general announce his punishment, before he could react, someone else refuted him.
Another group of people got off the ship at the port.
The group of people who stood up for Kaedehara Manye were also from Kaigi Island.
Everyone turned their eyes to the group and made way.
The five men from Kaigi Island walked up to Kaedehara Manye and patted him gently on the shoulders.
"Little brother, you and this guy don't have to worry. Since you are standing up for our Haiji Island, we will not let you be punished."
Seeing this, Kujo Sara couldn't help but frown.
The judgment she had just made on Fengyuan Manye had actually given him a way out to some extent.
After all, the mistake was on Manager Mita's side from the very beginning, and the punishment for Kaedehara Manye was only because of his action.
Although this action can be said to be negligible, as a law enforcer, she naturally has to impose corresponding punishment on the violators.
In her opinion, the punishment of imprisoning Kaedehara Manye for a period of time was much lighter than the punishment that Manager Mita reported to his superiors.
And now these people from Haiji Island suddenly came out to obstruct us. Isn't this just causing trouble for us? !
Doing this, she even felt at that moment that Kaigijima was the perpetrator of the attack.
"What! What! Do you want to obstruct law enforcement?"
"Are you people from Kaigi Island planning to interfere in the affairs of Inazuma Castle?"
"Damn it! Were you the ones who were attacking everywhere on the island before?!"
"Master Kujo! Are we going to take these people down directly?"
The expressions of this group of people who had just appeared on Kaigi Island changed slightly after hearing the calls of the surrounding soldiers and some local people.
However, they still insisted on protecting Kaedehara Manye and his friends.
"Humph! We just can't stand the way you do things! Why do you have to arrest good people, but the bad guy over there is not hurt at all!"
"That's right! These two brothers are just standing up for us, they didn't really do anything! Why should we arrest him? It's that guy over there who is corrupt and makes things difficult for us everywhere."
"That's right. If he continues to do this, it will be the people from our Kaigi Island this time, and next time it will be the foreign merchants from that country!"
The people of Kaigi Island were not afraid of the shogunate's soldiers at all, but instead began to defend themselves with strong arguments.
The last sentence in particular made the merchants from other countries present at the venue fall into silence and think.
In a sense, what the other party said was right. They should indeed worry that the next time it would be the turn of the merchants from that country to be targeted by the Kanto Bugyo.
"You...you are slandering me!"
When Manager Mita noticed the expressions of outsiders from other countries around him, he immediately realized that something was wrong and responded anxiously.
"We are slandering you? Isn't it true that you are making things difficult for us? Isn't it true that you are charging us more?"
"Everyone around you has seen it. Do you still want to deny it?"
The merchant from Kaigi Island asked loudly, causing Manager Mita's face to turn red.
"Big brother, you don't have to be like this. I was at fault first."
Kaedehara Manye whispered to the merchant from Kaigi Island beside him, admitting his mistake.
He realized that if things were not resolved soon, they would develop in a direction that was out of control, so he had to step forward quickly.
"Little brother, how could you be wrong? Those guys are obviously at fault!"
However, this man from Kaigi Island did not seem to understand what Kaedehara Manye meant. After saying something lightly to Kaedehara Manye, he continued to incite.
"Come and take a look! Give us your judgment!"
"We are from Haiji Island and came to the island to do business, but this guy asked us for 500,000 Mora for the mooring fee!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar among the people around.
"Hiss! Five hundred thousand Mora? This is robbery!"
"This is much faster than robbing money! It's outrageous!"
"Good guy, really good guy!"
"..."
The people around were talking about it, which made Kujo Sara subconsciously say that something was wrong.
Of course, in addition to the voices of amazement and doubt, many local people of Narukami Island also expressed their support.
After all, with the previous rumors about Kaigi Island and today's attack by invaders, most people have already believed the rumors.
So they naturally supported the matter of going to Mita to investigate the incident that was aimed at the merchants from Kaigi Island, and they also fought back against other questioning voices around them.
This also caused the entire port to be divided into two parties, one side was the merchants who supported Haiji Island, and the other side supported Santian Guanshi. (Hao Hao Zhao)
And a war of words broke out here.
The entire port instantly turned into a quarrelsome vegetable market, becoming extremely noisy and disorderly.
Upon seeing this, Kujo Sara immediately ordered the surrounding soldiers to stabilize the situation to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation.
"Quiet! Everybody be quiet!"
Kujo Sara shouted loudly, but there were too many and too noisy quarrels at the scene.
It was impossible for her to get anyone to stop.
Seeing this, Kujo Sara raised his hand, ready to use his own strength.
The divine eye on Nine-Tiaosha's waist was seen flashing purple light, and the purple electric arc in her hand gradually emerged, entwining around her hand like a small snake, making crackling sounds.
When the elemental power of thunder and lightning was almost gathered and she was about to take action, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of a copper bell in her ears.
"Ding zero zero!"
The ringing sound seemed to come from all directions, ethereal and penetrating, instantly causing everyone present to stop cursing and quiet down.
Chapter 297 Foolish Executives
"Would you please listen to what I have to say?"
After the ringtone, a charming sound from nature was heard.
Everyone turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a gorgeous and charming woman walking slowly towards me, accompanied by a group of witches.
The woman had long, smooth pink hair tied up at the ends, and on her bright long hair was a pair of furry fox ears that matched her hair color.
The pink fox ears are adorned with purple gemstone earrings that symbolize her status as a messenger of God, and the earring on the right ear is inlaid with the Eye of God with thunder attributes.
Her slender figure was draped in a red and white shrine maiden costume.
Her skin was as white as snow, her long and beautiful legs were lightly exposed, and her feet were wearing wooden clogs, which made her particularly eye-catching.
The woman had a warm smile on her oval face. Facing so many people here, she was not at all timid.
She came to Kujo Sara and nodded slightly to him with a smile.
When Kujo Sara saw the woman coming, he was a little surprised, but he still greeted her respectfully.
"Mr. Yashiro."
The shrine maiden in front of him was named Yaegamiko, and she was the head shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha Shrine.
At the same time, the other party has a close relationship with the god of Mingjin Island, Thunder God, and is a follower of the god, with an extremely high status.
Although the Mingjin Taisha Shrine rarely interferes in government affairs and has no real power, it only carries out matters such as exorcism and prayers.
But because of Yae Miko, even the three 713 magistrates had to give some face to Narukami Taisha.
So there is no doubt that the appearance of the great shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha Shrine quickly shocked the crowd.
