Death: This Death is not serious

A few days later.

In the extremely luxurious ancient Japanese-style buildings, the towering black-roofed pavilions seemed to sink into the sky.

The residence of the Tsunayashiro family.

Tall and ancient buildings gathered together, with unpainted pillars, beams and wall panels, and antique style.

This is the residence of the nobles, the great ruler of Soul Society, one of the four nobles -

The residence of the Tsunayashiro family.

Old men in luxurious robes sat on high seats, and the tall walls were engraved with patterns of ancient trees and mountains, demonstrating supreme power.

"Sinners, tell us what happened."

In the center of the meeting hall, two tortured men knelt.

They were missing hands and legs, their faces were covered with blood, and they were barely breathing.

One of the men spat out the broken teeth in his mouth and said weakly:

"Lord Chaofeng... is dead..."

The old men looked at each other grimly, closed their eyes and shook their heads.

It doesn't matter whether Tsunayashiro Chaofeng is dead or not. What matters is that she is a member of the Tsunayashiro family and represents the face of the Tsunayashiro family.

"How did she die?"

"Someone saw that it was Hollow who attacked Lord Chaofeng."

The man shuddered suddenly, forced his weak body, and swallowed the blood in his mouth and said.

"You are her guards, but you have to know how your master died through outsiders. What's the point of keeping you? Go and be loyal to her!"

"Thank you, sirs! Thank you, sirs!"

The two guards knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them, and their heads were broken and bleeding.

For them at this time, living is the real pain.

Seeing the two being dragged out of the meeting room by the family guards, a family elder frowned and asked at the blood on the ground:

"What should we do next?"

"Let the Central 46th Office issue an order, this matter must be investigated thoroughly!"

Another family elder slammed the table and roared.

So the news spread quickly.

The Tsunayashiro family fell into a tense atmosphere. The death warriors in night clothes shuttled through the family land like ghosts, and the members of each branch outside were urgently recalled.

The servants looked towards the central attic in panic, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

The ruler of Soul Society, the noble bloodline of the five nobles, died.

This is the first time in the Soul Society that the five nobles have died abnormally since the battle of the Quincy's invasion of Soul Society a thousand years ago.

…………

Late that night.

Yamamoto was awakened by his deputy in his sleep. Although he was annoyed by being disturbed in his sweet dream, he still suppressed his displeasure and rushed to the 46th meeting room of Mao overnight.

Soon, he passed the barracks of each division, passed by the "bamboo forest" formed by the white tower, passed through several gates, and came to a huge stone wall.

The outer wall of the stone wall is white, and there are red and black regular octagonal patterns on the stone door.

"Captain Yamamoto."

Two 7th Squad Death Gods in charge of guarding stood outside the door and bowed to Yamamoto.

Yamamoto nodded to them.

The two Death Gods opened the door and saw the familiar wooden bridge. Under the bridge was a clear pool of water, and in the middle of the pool was a house built with murderous stone.

Yamamoto pushed open the door and entered the central underground meeting room.

The internal structure of the meeting room is also a regular octagon. The ground is dark, like a bottomless abyss, giving people a sense of having no foothold.

Rows and layers of long tables surround the entire room. There are screens with numbers on the tables. Behind the screens are benches, and forty-six nobles and elders sit on the benches.

Sitting at the highest point are six judges, and below them are forty elders who are called sages.

These forty-six people are the pinnacle of power in the entire Soul Society. They are the highest judicial body in Soul Society... the Central Forty-sixth Chamber.

"Captain of the Gotei 13, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, greets all the sages and judges."

Yamamoto walked forward steadily, and a square of white light lit up where he stepped, and said calmly.

The six judges and forty sages sitting in the upper seats did not have any dissatisfaction, and even raised their mouths to smile to ease the atmosphere, even though Yamamoto could not see their faces at all.

There are no fools who can sit here.

Their vision is higher than that of ordinary people, which makes them more aware of reality.

This old man is not someone they can manipulate at will.

Even if the other party is willing to obey now, it does not mean that he will always obey.

If one day, the other party is tired and exhausted, and is unwilling to play children's games with them, everyone present will not be able to stop the blade that can burn the world.

The judge sitting on the far left, Shifengyuan Shinse, waved his hand and smiled softly:

"Our sharp sword, the captain of the Gotei 13, Mr. Yamamoto Shigekuni, congratulations on your new apprentice.. "

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said in a deep voice:

"No need to say such polite words, Judge."

"I know very well why you asked me to come here this time."

"But before that, I have a question for you gentlemen..."

He paused, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his knife-like eyes swept across the people who were high above.

"Why did you bypass the Gotei 13, the Secret Mobile and the Kidōshu, and let the family guards surround the Shiba family?"

"The Shiba family was once one of the five great nobles. Even if they left the Soul Society, this would not change!"

The green-haired judge sitting in the middle asked back unhappily:

"According to the regulations, any behavior that harms nobles should be severely punished."

"Tsunayashiro Asaho died in the soul burial practice in the present world, and we have not yet held you responsible for the dereliction of duty of the Gotei 13."

"Or do you think that the lives of nobles are not as important as a mere pariah in Rukongai? "

As soon as these words came out, the other sages and judges all became nervous.

Even with the screen blocking the way, one could still hear his arrogance and anger from his words.

Facing the highest power of the Soul Society, Yamamoto was calm and said in a calm tone:

"The lives of nobles are important, but this is not a reason to violate the law."

"No matter what the fault is, we, the Gotei 13, should be responsible for investigating. Intervening privately is itself an act that violates the law."

"What's more, there is no evidence that Aozaki Mazuki has any fault in this incident!"

Shifengyuan Masato echoed:

"I think what the captain-general said makes sense."

"Remember that twenty years ago, a member of the Tsunayashiro family who was a graduate of the Genji School committed a serious crime that should have been sentenced to death."

"But the judges and sages, considering his teacher-student relationship with the captain-general, changed his sentence to house arrest for three hundred years. "

"Since you can forgive that student, why should you be so harsh to the new disciple of the captain-general?"

Listening to the aggressive questioning of Yamamoto Shigekuni and Shifengyuan Masato, the sages and judges of the Tsunayashiro family opened their mouths, but were speechless and felt very depressed.

Originally, they just wanted to save a talented clan member and declare the authority of the Tsunayashiro family to everyone, but they didn't expect that this incident would block their mouths now.

It was all those family elders who made them lose face in front of everyone today for a member of the branch family.
