Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 218: Turbulence on the Island

The next morning, on the outlying island, the ruins of the Hiiragi family's house.

Kujo Sara led the Tenryo Bugyo people to occupy the outlying island, blocked the entire outlying island, and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, as if they were going to take over the outlying island.

Although all members of the Hiiragi family were massacred, the subordinate families of the Hiiragi family who served as Kanjo Bugyo still existed.

Mr. Matsuura from the subordinate family stood at the door of the Hiiragi family's house, facing Kujo Sara.

Mr. Matsuura had a gloomy face and questioned her in a serious tone.

"Lord Kujo Sara, what do you people from the Tenryo Bugyo mean by this? This is an outlying island! It's our Kanding Bugyo's territory! How can you Tenryo Bugyo bring people here so casually? And with such a big fanfare! What does it mean?!"

Kujo Sara looked at the burned-down Hiiragi family residence and could hardly contain his anger.

Hearing Matsuura chattering at the side, the Tengu behind him became even more angry and spread its wings directly.

This action frightened Matsuura so much that he took a half step back, but he still asked unwillingly: "What do you mean? Don't think that just because you are a general of the Tenryo Bugyo, you can interfere in our Kande Bugyo affairs! Even Kujo Takayuki didn't dare to get involved. How dare you, a mere adopted daughter of the Kujo family..."

Before he could finish, Kujo Sara reached out and grabbed Matsuura's collar, his eyes widened, and said, "The Far Country Supervisor was burned, and you said it was your job, and that it was done by the people of Kaijima. Because the island is your territory, we can't verify it. Considering the tense war ahead and for the sake of Hiiragi Shinsuke, I will tolerate it and not investigate further!"

Speaking of this, Kujo Sara was so angry that his hair stood on end.

"Now, the Hiiragi family's house has been burned down by lunatics, and the Hiiragi family is almost wiped out. This matter is no longer something you, the Kande Bugyo, can handle. I am taking over the crime scene on behalf of the Tenryo Bugyo 'Bugyo-sho'. It is reasonable and logical. What else do you want to say!"

Matsuura was very panicked and decided to muddy the waters and bite back at Kujo Sara.

"Maybe it was done by the people of Kaiji Island. It's all your fault that the Kujo family didn't fight hard enough, which caused us to suffer such losses. You, the Kujo family, are ashamed of the general and the people!"

When Kujo Sara heard this, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited. She suddenly picked up Matsuura, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes, and shouted fiercely.

"When and where have we, the Kujo family, wronged the Shogun? If there is anyone who owes anything, it is you, the Kanjo Bugyo, who owe the Shogun! You have imposed heavy taxes on merchants on remote islands, defrauded the shogunate, just to satisfy your own selfish desires and bring shame to the entire Inazuma! You are the ones who have failed the Shogun!"

Seeing that Kujo Sara had taken the bait, Matsuura deliberately continued to provoke her.

"What evidence do you have to prove this? Let's go to the general together to judge right and wrong and see who is right. You actually believed the one-sided words of foreigners. What are you thinking?"

Kujo Sara was so angry that his face turned red and he raised his fist, ready to hit Matsuura hard.

At this critical moment, Shikanoin Heizo suddenly came out of the Hiiragi family yard and shouted in a hurry: "Lord Sara, please stay calm. If you hurt Matsuura, things will become more chaotic, and then it will be what the Kanjo Bugyo wants."

After hearing what Shikanoin Heizo said, Kujo Sara immediately calmed down and slowly let go of his hand.

The corner of Shikanoin Heizo's mouth curled up into a smile, and he looked at Matsuura with a hint of provocation, and said in a frivolous tone: "Lord Matsuura, you must know that it is reasonable for us to seal off the murder scene~"

"After all, the Kanjo Bugyo is only in charge of Inazuma's finances, and we, the Tenryo Bugyo, are in charge of public security~"

When Matsuura heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, but he still suppressed his anger and retorted calmly: "But this is an outlying island! This is not a place where you Tenryo Bugyo can run wild as you please!"

However, Shikanoin Heizo was not moved at all, but instead kept holding on to the word "murder case".

He said in a threatening tone: "But, Lord Matsuura, this is a murder case! According to the rules, this kind of thing should be handled by our magistrate. You are trying to stop us like this. Do you want to interfere in the affairs of our Tenryo Magistrate?"

Matsuura was unable to refute for a moment, and could only shake his hands in anger, gritting his teeth and saying: "Humph, I will report this matter to the general on behalf of the Kanjo Bugyo! When the time comes, let's see how you explain it!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Kujo Sara looked at Matsuura's departing back, a trace of anger and disdain on his face, and cursed in a low voice.

"A bunch of damned worms! Aren't you just afraid that what you did on the outlying island would be known by the general? If it weren't for the tense war with Kaijima and the internal strife, I would have led the shogunate army to raid all your homes!"

At this time, Shikanoin Heizo walked up to Kujo Sara and said comfortingly, "Lord Sara, please calm down. I have good news to tell you. I have found some clues."

When Kujo Sara heard there was a clue, he immediately perked up and asked anxiously, "What clue? Tell me quickly!"

Heizo Kanoin stroked his chin, lost in recollection, and then slowly said: "According to a surviving Kanjo Bugyo samurai, the person who committed this heinous crime was the protagonist of the light novel "The Gunlance Murderer from Fontaine" 'Huoyun'. It was he who came to the outlying island and killed people."

When Kujo Sara heard the word "light novel", he couldn't help but frowned, showing hesitation, and said softly: "Light novels are just fictional stories created by the author. Using a novel to solve a case seems a bit too hasty, right?"

Shikanoin Heizo shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. I read the author's monthly magazine in Yaedo half a month ago. The author of that light novel said that he based the novel on what happened in Mondstadt and Liyue."

When Kujo Sara heard this, he had some guesses in his mind and asked, "What does 'Luyein Tongshin' mean?"

Shikanoin Heizo smiled meaningfully and said, "Lord Sara, do you think it could be that person named 'Shao Yun' who has come to Inazuma?"

After hearing his inference, Kujo Sara immediately thought of the man in the hat she met on the outlying island a few days ago. She frowned and asked, "Lunoin Doshin, do you think that guy that night a few days ago was him?"

Recalling what happened that night, Shikanoin Heizo shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. We can't be sure if it was him or not. Everything requires evidence. We don't even have a portrait of 'Shao Yun'."

"What if we arrest him without authorization and find out that we have arrested the wrong person? Then what is the difference between us and those Kanjo Bugyo who rob and abuse people and punish them?"

Kujo Sara suddenly had an idea and came up with a brilliant plan. She said, "I got it. I can write a letter to the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt and the Liyue Seven Stars in Liyue to see if I can get a portrait of Shao Yun. Logically speaking, someone who committed such a serious crime should be wanted, so there must be a portrait or something."

Shikanoin Heizo pondered for a while, thought this was a good idea, and nodded in agreement, "At the moment, this is the only way."

Inazuma has been in seclusion for a long time, which has led to some poor information exchange. The two of them really treat Shao Yun as a fugitive!

I wonder what Captain Qin and Ningguang would feel after receiving the letter asking for Shao Yun's portrait with the purpose of capturing him.

At this moment, a group of merchants from the outlying island hurried over, but were stopped by the Tianling Fengxing personnel.

One of the Tenryo Bugyo warriors shouted at the merchants.

"What do you want to do? Destroying a crime scene is a capital crime!"

A businessman replied excitedly: "The Kanjo Bugyo burned down the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce while President Kurisu was away. No matter how tolerant we are, we can't bear this!"

Another businessman echoed: "We need justice, this matter must not be let go so easily!"

As for whether these businessmen are really causing trouble because they cannot swallow this humiliation.

It was heard that the Hiiragi family was wiped out, and the Tenryo Bugyo's men came and seized the opportunity to beat the fallen dog, but it became unknown.

Kujo Sara looked at the angry foreign merchants in front of him with a gloomy face and said sternly: "Be quiet!"

The merchants were intimidated by Kujo Sara's momentum and fell silent for a moment.

Kujo Sara glanced at the crowd and continued, "We, the Tianling Bugyo, will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. Now, please return to your residence immediately. This is a murder scene. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

When these words came out, the businessmen present couldn't help but gasp.

Everyone knew the strength of Kujo Sara, the shogunate's general, and no one dared to resist.

Everyone looked at each other, turned around and left, and the scene gradually returned to calm.

Seeing everyone leaving, Kujo Sara turned to look at Shikanoin Heizo and said helplessly, "Shikanoin Tongxin, please go check on the situation at the International Chamber of Commerce. I also need to write a letter to see if I can get the portrait of 'Shao Yun'."

Shikanoin Heizo nodded slightly to show that he understood.

There were murders and wars. At this time, someone was needed to handle the affairs of the International Chamber of Commerce and give an explanation to these foreigners.

Out of his duty as a subordinate, he responded without hesitation: "Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he turned and left, heading towards the direction of the International Chamber of Commerce.

……

On the other side, Kamisato Ayaka and Toma came to the picturesque Inazuma Castle together.

The streets of Hanamizaka in Inazuma Castle were bustling with people coming and going, but there was a serious expression on Kamisato Ayaka's face.

She took out an exquisite fan from her waist. This fan was not only a close-fitting item to her, but also a symbol of her status.

She handed the fan to Thomas, with a tone of unquestionable firmness: "Thoma, I need you to take this fan and visit Kujo Kamajima on my behalf. Ask him for three passes to all Inazuma, which are crucial to our plan."

"No matter what conditions Kujo Kamajima puts forward, I can agree to them as long as he can provide these passes."

Thomas took the fan, bowed respectfully, and responded, "Yes, miss, I will do your bidding."

Then he turned around and quickly went to find Kujo Kamajima.

After Thomas left, Kamisato Ayaka stood there alone. She took a deep breath to make herself look more energetic.

She gently smoothed her bangs and carefully adjusted the hem of her skirt, making sure her posture was impeccable.

The next place she is going to is the Mulou Teahouse, where she needs to face the terrifying evil star who just wiped out the Hiiragi family! Tell her request.

For this reason, she felt that she had to be extremely prepared. Otherwise, there would be no recovery!
