The gray bricks and stones bear the dim morning light. The sound of rolling wheels breaks the tranquility of the early morning earlier than the crowing of roosters. The vendors in gray clothes push the stalls, and the thick quilt covering them is brand new and white.

"Take two rolls and a soy milk."

"Okay~ Cheng Hui Shimala."

Slowly drinking the salty and fragrant soy milk, the juice mixed with real noodle juice, the softened dough could be turned into wisps of residue with a light sip of the tongue. Kamisato Bugyo walked slowly along the wide street and enjoyed today's breakfast before entering the shogunate.

"There's been a lot of food lately." Kamisato Bugyo said softly, "I don't even have time to enjoy breakfast at home. But Brother Kujo seems to be in high spirits lately. I heard that you really plan to accept the captives from the radicals on Kaijima?"

Slowly arriving in front of the castle tower and standing still, Kamisato Bugyo looked at his nose, and smiled, "This is not an easy job. With so many people, I wonder if the Tenryo Bugyo can come up with the food and travel expenses."

"Maybe next time you go out, put some peppermint oil on your temples. Your mind will be clearer. What makes you think that Inazuma can't even provide food for the captives?"

Kujo Takayuki snorted coldly and shook his wide sleeves, revealing documents among them. He refuted the remark bluntly, but his heart sank secretly and his mind was uncertain.

The expenses incurred for normal escort would naturally be a problem. Tianling Fengxing would not be unable to afford even such a small expense. However, the number of people escorting this time was far more than what was apparent.

Although those who went there secretly were going to find the mine account book, we cannot deny them food just because what they were going to do was shameful and not very decent! They also need to eat.

What's more, in order to allow those people to stay there with a legitimate reason, the captured prisoners also need to stay there for a while. Excuses are easy to find, but if they stay for one day, their food expenses will increase by one day.

As a result, the funds allocated openly are naturally not enough, and the funds allocated secretly are even less enough.

Kujo Takayuki didn't know how much the prisoners actually spent every day, but didn't he know the people under his command and the nobles he depended on? It would be fine if they entered the account book openly, but those who didn't enter the account book secretly would definitely be scraped again and again.

If you can get rid of 30% of the 100% oil and water, it would be good enough.

You can't waste money like this! If this continues, the Mora in the official vault of the Tenryo Bugyo will sooner or later run out of money, and maybe the Kujo family will have to start thinking... Kujo Takayuki smiled faintly:

"I can't compare to Brother Kamisato. I heard that Brother Kamisato is also in charge of the recent affairs of Narukami Taisha Shrine. The two priests are walking with ease, and they are not afraid that the place where they serve the gods will be polluted by the trivialities of the world."

"Yes, the two priests walked briskly."

Kamisato Bugyo was very suspicious that the things that were sent to him should not be handled by him. Apart from some worldly things, everything else in Narukami Taisha was some sealed and filthy things.

The community's executive officers are not in charge of this matter, nor do they have the talent in this area, so they cannot clearly see how to repair the seal, exorcise evil spirits and remove filth, making it clear that even if they have seen it, they cannot deal with it.

Even if we send someone over there, we will only find that the shrine maidens from Narukami Taisha Shrine are already there to deal with it.

It was obvious that the witches were blaming each other and were unwilling to take care of these paper matters, so he became the one who wrote the report.

Fortunately, such unimportant matters can be left to Ayato.

"But they have caused quite a lot of trouble. Brother Hiiragi and Brother Kamisato should have heard of the desert people from Yabin Island, right? They have caused quite a lot of trouble for our shogunate's trusted troops."

The door of the castle tower was slowly opened. Kujo Takayuki shook his sleeves lightly and took the lead. "Such an armed force that does not have contact with the shogunate is really suspicious. I doubt their real purpose."

"I heard that the environment in the Xumi Desert is harsh, and they are even excluded by the rainforest people. Desert specialties cannot be sold at high prices. They can only grow up in blood since childhood. They are a group of wild beasts that cannot be tamed!"

"General! The desert people are not trustworthy. Like the people of Haizhi Island, they believe in the deceased demon god and often slander the Great Kind Tree King, forgetting the kindness the rain forest once showed them."

Kujo Takayuki said righteously: "I heard that this group of desert people has never appeared in Liyue's official travel documents. I suspect that they all came here illegally and forged the name of the Palace of the Divine Servant to carry out activities in an attempt to seize the opportunity to occupy Bayun Island."

Kujo Sara was too stubborn and too obedient to the regulations of the shogunate, which seemed to make him incompatible with these desert people. After trying for a long time and finding that it was impossible to make them live in harmony, Kujo Takayuki could only choose the path of suppression.

There can be no risks in the search for the ledger!

Now is not the time for the Kujo family to change the magistrate, nor is it a good time to change the head of the family. He is still in his prime, and this is the time to work hard and lead the Tenryo magistrate to prosperity.

Kujo Takayuki loudly requested: "I request that the desert people be examined and their weapons be temporarily disarmed. The name of the shrine's chief priest should not be insulted."

"No problem. Their presence on Qinglai Island has shown their determination to join Inazuma. The desert people are not barbarians who cannot be tamed."

Kujo Takayuki's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

From what the general said, it seems that these desert people did not come here recently, but how could the supplies and passage of so many people be hidden from Tianling Fengshi?

As a person who relied on the shogunate and worked diligently to lead the Kujo family to rise step by step, Kujo Takayuki could be sure that there was no unusual movement in the shogunate's treasury, and there were no other similar ones!

Shinsuke Hiiragi suddenly felt that his sleeves looked very nice.

"Yingsai was dissatisfied with the fact that the official communication documents were reviewed for too long, so he reached a private agreement with his good friend Tianquanxing. At the same time, the Desert People were also a hidden force to prevent the Fatui from causing chaos. When they arrived, they used a long-abandoned waterway."

The corner of Kujo Takayuki's eye twitched.

What does it mean to reach a private agreement?

From my experience, this is abuse of power for personal gain, right? As the leader of the Seven Stars of this generation, why didn't the other Seven Stars stop you from doing this? Or have you already been able to cover up everything?

And what the hell is it to prevent the fools from causing chaos?

The power on the surface is enough!

"By the way, how did you know that the desert people did not have a pass when they passed through Liyue?" General Lei Dian's eyes were cold. "This matter is a secret and should not be leaked."

Kujo Takayuki's hands and feet trembled and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"Your Highness, I was informed by a desert man."

"Kujo Bugyo, since you learned about this from the desert people, then it is your fault now. They told you this obviously because they trust you. Why are you questioning it in this classroom?"

There are always people who are happy to beat a fallen dog, not to mention Kamisato Bugyo who was ostracized when he was down and out. He stepped forward and loudly rebuked: "Although the desert people grew up in a barbarian land, this friendship is really touching. Why should Kujo Bugyo live up to this friendship?"

"Although I am deeply moved by the trust of the desert people, I dare not judge the truth of this matter privately. If it is true, I will only bear the reputation of an unjust person. Moreover, if it is false, Inazuma can completely avoid a disaster."

"But I heard that Brother Jiujo had previously ordered the Tenryo Bugyo team to get along with them in a friendly manner."

"Before we determine whether they are friendly, we should not alert them." Suddenly realizing this reason was great, Kujo Takayuki stood up again and said respectfully: "For the prosperity of Inazuma, I am willing to sacrifice my life. My reputation is not worth mentioning."

"..."

General Lei Dian flipped through the documents on the table and was a little surprised: "The desert people don't seem to have come to Inazuma City to visit recently, and Yingzhai didn't leave any documents showing that he had met with them."

"..."

Kujo Takayuki broke out in a cold sweat again.

So after those desert people arrive, they will come to see you, General?

No, why didn’t I know that outsiders were visiting the general?

The shrine magistrate should not be able to conceal this matter so well, and the Narugami Taisha Shrine is also unable to do anything. The Tenryo Magistrate has been operating in Inazuma Castle for a long time, unless...

Kujo Takayuki suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet.
