A calm smile appeared on the creamy face of the Eightfold Son of God. After signaling to Kujo Sara with her eyes, she looked around with her beautiful eyes.
"Everyone, today's incident happened too suddenly. We cannot jump to conclusions before the matter is fully investigated."
"So we can't just wrongly accuse the residents of Umijima who are also Inashima people."
Yaegamiko made her attitude clear and appeased the merchants on Kaigi Island and other foreign merchants.
"Regarding Manager Mita's affairs, there is no doubt that they are wrong."
"I will report his punishment to the general, and she will decide."
As soon as Yae Shinko said this, the face of Mita Manager beside him froze.
Reporting my affairs to Lord Thunder God?! Wouldn't that cost him his life?
After all, that person is extremely powerful and won't be so easy to talk to.
Because he was very clear about the distinction between public and private affairs, even though his actions seemed to be for the benefit of Narukami Island, they actually damaged the image of Narukami Island.
So he shouldn't even think about getting any reward or anything like that.
The way Yaesugi handled this matter satisfied the merchants on Kaigi Island and other merchants from other places.
There is no doubt that it is fairest to be judged by God.
"As for what happened to Fengyuan Manye and his friends, they will be punished according to our local laws."
"Kujo-sama, I'm counting on you."
Yae Kamiko then talked about the punishment for Kaedehara Manye and the other man who had fought on the outlying island.
The responsibility for the punishment was given to Kujo Sara.
When Kujo Sara heard this, he understood what was meant and stood up to announce the punishment for Kaedehara Manye.
"Since you intended to harm the officials in charge of the Three Privy Council, you should be imprisoned for one year to reflect on your actions."
"But because you are exposing injustice and helping the weak, your punishment can be reduced."
"Soldier! Bring them down."
Kujo Sara gave an order and asked the soldiers to take Kaedehara Manye away.
Seeing this, Fengyuan Manye could only accept the punishment obediently.
"Sorry for involving you!"
He apologized to his friends around him.
The friend on the side smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. If something like this happens, even if you, Fengyuan Manye, don't take action, I will!"
Hearing his friend's words, Fengyuan Manye's face was filled with emotion.
With Kaedehara Manye being taken away and Manager Mita being temporarily suspended, the farce at the port came to a temporary end.
Although Kujo Sara originally planned to keep these merchants from Kaigi Island to investigate, he finally released them at the suggestion of Yae Shinko.
Kujo Sara asked the soldiers to take Kaedehara Manye and the other person back and settle them down, while he himself went with Yae Kamiko.
As the two walked down the street, Kujo Sara had many doubts in his mind.
"Master Jiujo seems to have a lot of things to ask me?"
Yae Kamiko sent away the other priestesses and walked casually on the street with Kujo Sara only, with a faint smile on her face, and spoke slowly.
"Yes, Lord Yae, why did you stop me from leaving the merchants of Umiji Island to interrogate them?"
"Even though there is no evidence that the attack was carried out by people from Kaigi Island, we should not let go of any suspicious places."
Kujo Sara nodded seriously and questioned Yae Shinto.
Even when facing such a noble being as the Eightfold Son of God, she was not the least bit timid. Instead, she asked the other party with solid reasons and arguments.
"Ah! General Kujo is still the same as always!"
Yae Shinto sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
"It's such a stupid piece of wood! Not like..."
Having said this, Yae Shinto paused, stopped talking, and did not continue.
"what?"
Kujo Sara frowned and couldn't help but ask Yae Shinto.
"nothing!"
"Forget what I said, General Kujo."
Yae Shinko shook her head and immediately changed the subject.
"Do you think this was done by someone from Haige Island?"
Although Kujo Sara was very concerned about what Yae Shinto said just now, she still started to think about it when faced with the counter-question.
"I can't say for sure, but at least there is no evidence that it was from Kaigi Island."
Kujo Sara expressed the result of his thinking.
"But even so, we shouldn't..."
Kujo Sara wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Yae Shinto.
"Okay, you don't need to say more. In my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the people of Haigi Island."
"Someone is trying to interfere and disrupt the relationship between the two sides."
The corners of Yae Shinko's mouth rose slightly, as if he had seen through the deeper meaning of the incident.
"And if you were to detain those merchants from Haiqi Island here, you would be falling into someone else's trap."
After hearing what Yae Shinto said, Kujo Sara felt that it was a bit alarmist.
"is that so?"
There was a hint of hesitation on her face, and she looked at the Eightfold Son of God with disbelief.
When Yae Shinko saw the other person's eyes, he sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I'll take you to see the general!"
"I think I need to report to her what happened today."
"Then there will be an answer."
Yae Kamiko then took Kujo Sara to the castle tower.
Kujo Sara nodded and went directly to see the general, which was undoubtedly the right thing to do.
After all, the situation is now serious and must be handled by General Lei Dian.
On the way to the castle tower, the two of them met the envoys from the Kingdom of Winter, the Fatui.
This group of Fatui who came to visit Inazuma and intend to establish trade relations with Inazuma were led by a man named Varna.
And this Varna is one of the eleven executive officers of the Fatui, ranking eighth.
Chapter 298 The Eightfold Son of God interfered with the plan
"Nice to meet you two."
"Admiral Kujo and Yae-guji."
Varna bowed slightly and greeted Yae Shinto and Kujo Sara in front of him very politely.
"It turns out to be Mr. Varna Executive. Hello, nice to meet you."
Yae Shinko smiled slightly and greeted him politely.
Kujo Sara beside her nodded with a calm and serious expression, as a response to the other party.
The other party seemed to have long been accustomed to the demeanor of the shogun and did not care at all.
"What happened? I saw a lot of people coming in and out of the clinic today, and many soldiers were injured!"
Varna then asked the two of them in a concerned tone, as if he was showing great concern for what happened to Inazuma.
Hearing the slightly hoarse voice of the man in front of them, Yae Kamiko and Kujo Sara both felt a little uncomfortable.
The other person's voice sounded like a spittoon stuck in the throat, making it very uncomfortable to listen to.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Executive. Something did happen today, but everything is under control. Don't worry!"
Although the other party's voice sounded a bit uncomfortable, Yae Shinto remained calm and composed on the surface, and responded to the other party's questions openly.
"Is that so? That's really great!"
"Okay, we still have some things to do here, so we'll be leaving first! Have a nice day, both of you."
Varner showed a faint smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said goodbye to Yae Shinko and the other two.
"Okay, Mr. Varner, take care."
Yae Shinko nodded, and he and Kujo Sara watched the eighth executive officer of the Fatui leave.
When the other party completely disappeared, Yae Shinko looked towards the fork in the road that the other party had just taken.
"General Kujo, I remember this road leads to your Kujo family."
The Eightfold Son of God seemed to be thinking about something, and stretched out his slender white jade finger to point at the fork in the road.
Seeing this, Kujo Sara nodded slightly.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel that our Fatui executive officer seems to have a good relationship with your Tianling Fengxing!"
Yae Shinto murmured something inadvertently, and no one knew what he was thinking, and continued to take Kujo Sara to take another fork in the road leading to the castle tower.
At the same time, on the other side, Varna and his group said goodbye to Yae Shinko and Kujo Sara. When they were halfway there, a hint of violence flashed across their eyes.
"Damn you, Yae Shinko, you actually ruined my plan!"
Varner clenched his fists, like a lion waiting to get angry.
But soon, he calmed down and his eyes regained calmness.
"Well! Even so, it still can't stop our plan."
"There will be a war between Kaigi Island and Narukami Island sooner or later!"
"Things are a little more troublesome now!"
After Varner muttered something, he whispered something to the entourage around him.
After listening to this, the follower turned around and went into the alley, disappearing into the darkness.
In the tea room of the castle tower, Lei Dianying leaned against Lin Yue for several hours. Lin Yue could feel that her body became a little stiff from maintaining this posture.
Originally Lin Yue thought that Lei Dianying was going to continue like this until the evening, but at this time, she finally reacted.
Lei Dianying came back to his senses and noticed that when he was leaning against Lin Yue at this time, he suddenly jumped away from him like a frightened kitten.
"I...I'm sorry, Lin Yuejun, I..."
There was a hint of nervousness on Lei Dianying's normally cold face, as if he wanted to explain something.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried to explain, she couldn't find a suitable excuse.
Lin Yue looked at Lei Dianying's reaction in front of her, smiled and shook her head.
"It's okay. I understand."
He didn't expect any excuses to come out of the mouth of this stubborn girl in Teyvat who only knew martial arts and was lacking in all other aspects.
So I just interrupted her and said I didn't mind.
"Okay, now that we have understood most of the situation, you should also know what is happening to Inazuma now."
"So how do you plan to deal with that group of fools?"
Lin Yue turned the topic back to what Inazuma was facing now, putting aside the life-and-death crisis in Teyvat for the time being.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that if he thought of Lei Movie again, he would enter the island emo state again.
When Lei Dianying was asked this by Lin Yue, he fell into deep thought.
