Chapter 452: Conflict in the Grand Society(1/2)

Qian Laili opened the door curtain in front of the car and jumped out, followed closely by Bai Qiyun.

What comes into view is the wonderful scenery of Qinglai Island and the slightly prosperous city not far away.

But what concerned Bai Qiyun more than these was the front of the carriage.

There was no one driving the carriage, which was originally a normal carriage. There was only one horse standing alone.

There is no doubt that this carriage was driven by this horse alone, which means that this horse, like the black cat, is a monster related to Asara Shrine.

No wonder this car is custom-made, even the driver is unique.

"Mr. Bai, I have something to do and go to the big shrine. I'll ask you to do it yourself."

Qian Laili nodded to the young man in front of him. Just as he was about to leave, he was attracted by the noise coming from the side.

"Hey, you are slandering people!"

"The evidence is solid, how can it be slander."

On the street corner of the bustling city, several people had a quarrel.

Judging from the appearance, one of them should be a local resident, and the other is a warrior worshiped by Tianling.

Kozo, a samurai worshiped by Tian Ling, had a conflict with Yuji, a local resident. The quarrel was so intense that the residents gradually gathered around, blocking the road and affecting traffic.

"What are you doing together?"

Seeing this, Qian Laili, who was usually kind to others, immediately straightened his face and walked forward.

The slightly stern words attracted everyone's attention. When they saw that it was the lord of the shrine, everyone retreated, leaving a passage.

"Lord Palace Secretary!"

Seeing Asari's arrival, Kosan's eyes, which were still a bit weak before, immediately brightened up and he quickly rushed towards the miko.

But before listening to his explanation, Qian Laili waved his hands to the people watching, waving his long sleeves in the air.

"Let's all disperse. It will affect the smooth flow of roads in the province."

As the supreme leader of Qing Lai Island, Qian Lai's words still carry a lot of weight.

Suddenly people dispersed and the originally crowded road became empty.

However, there are still some bad guys looking straight at this place from a distance, trying to figure out what is going on.

"Lord Palace Secretary, I was wronged."

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Takasan immediately came together and told Asari his grievances.

It turned out that Tianling Fengxing had lost something, and this thing happened to be found in his home.

But Xiaosan has been busy with farm work for the past two days and has no time to go home, let alone steal things and put them back home, so he feels that he has been wronged by the people who follow Tianling.

But the physical evidence is here, so how can he be allowed to quibble on his own.

Xiong Er, who was entrusted by Tian Ling, insisted on handing him over to the enforcing office for strict handling. No matter what he said, it was useless.

"That's it. Your Excellency, the leader of Tianling, can you please give me some face and move to the big shrine to speak."

After all, her status is not low, and Tian Ling Shi is an eye-catching presence on Qinglai Island. If the two of them stand in the street and confront each other like this, it will easily make outsiders think wrong.

Hearing this, Yuuji hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

Originally, he was a patrol officer of the Tianling Clan nearby, and he knew that the residents of Qinglai Island did not like to see their Tianling Clan, and it would be even more detrimental to them if the situation escalated.

But before that, his eyes were attracted by another figure.

"This...Mr. Bai? Why are you here?"

Seeing Bai Qiyun follow Qian Laili step by step, Yuuji exclaimed in surprise.

As the only person who was brought along by Kujo Sanra on this trip, Bai Qiyun was remembered by all the local samurai when he checked into the training center on the first day.

You must know that although Qinglai Island does not want to see them, they will always rotate back to Narukami Island for duty.

Kujo Sora is the general of the shogunate army and the eldest daughter of the Tenlords.

In a country where almost all resources are controlled by high-level nobles, Inazuma's existence is almost a ceiling that ordinary people can never touch.

If he offended this eldest lady, just one word could send him to the battlefield and kill him at the hands of the rebels.

Of course, the opposite is also true. If you can get her favor, your life will definitely become smoother in the future.

So when Bai Qiyun appeared next to Kujo Sanra, Yuuji classified him in his heart as one of the people who should never be provoked.

"Um...you know me?"

Yuuji's sudden voice made Bai Qiyun very embarrassed.

Qian Laili on the side kept staring at him, as if he was saying 'you liar'.

But it was obvious that Yuuji didn't notice anything was wrong with Asari, or even if he did, he didn't care.

This is because the conflict between the Tianling sect and the Asara Shrine has not lasted for a day or two, and it is normal for each other to make each other uncomfortable.

"Of course, Mr. Bai is a popular person around Kujo-sama. This is the first time that Kujo-sama has asked his subordinates to take good care of someone so seriously."

Although Yuuji's words sounded like he was praising Bai Qiyun, Bai Qiyun felt that it was getting colder and colder behind him.

The gaze of a certain miko almost pierced his back.

Brother, please, stop talking.

"Ah... let's get down to business quickly."

In order to prevent Yuuji from further deepening the misunderstanding, Bai Qiyun quickly led him into the main shrine, following Qian Aili.

The so-called Grand Shrine is a very tall large building, somewhat similar to the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind in Mondstadt.

But compared to the Knights Building, the Grand Shrine covers a significantly larger area, and the crowds coming and going are denser.

The first floor here is used to receive local residents to handle matters, such as paying taxes, issuing certificates, etc.

When the surrounding staff saw Qian Laili coming in, they immediately came over and welcomed them into a quiet room on the second floor.

Taking advantage of the conversation, Bai Qiyun followed several others and sneaked into the room.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him, he has no good way to explore Qinglai Island in a short time, so he might as well take this opportunity to see if he can get any information.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The four people sitting in the huge room did not seem crowded. Asari and Bai Qiyun sat together, while Xiaosan and Yuuji sat opposite each other, looking quite at ease.

It's a bit incompatible with water and fire.

"Now let's talk about Tianling's execution process and see if there is any misunderstanding."

When everyone was seated, Qian Laili slowly opened his mouth and asked about the details of the whole incident.

It turned out that Tianling Fengxing lost a treasure salvaged from the sea last night. The chief of the execution station notified all the warriors under his command and ordered them to conduct strict inspections from house to house starting the next day.

Although this decision was not submitted to the Asara Shrine for approval, Kousou's home is in the suburbs and there are no personnel to guard it. In addition, he has been busy with farm work in the past two days and has not received any notification from the Asara Shrine. He just finished his farm work.

When I went home, I happened to meet Yuuji, who was a disciple of Tianling. Yuuji took advantage of the situation and asked to go to his house to search.

Originally, he was not going to agree, because the residents of Qinglai Island had always been at odds with Tianling.

But he was really tired, and he agreed without doing anything wrong.

Who would have thought that after Yuuji followed him home, he would find the lost treasure from the closet and threaten to take him back to the prison.

How could Xiaosan listen to him now? He quickly half-draged and half-dragged the other party to the vicinity of the big shrine to demand justice.

What kind of place is the monastery? A normal person would have to peel off his skin when entering. What's more, he was framed and feared that he wouldn't be able to get out if he didn't go in.

Hearing this, Qian Laili had almost figured out the whole process of the matter. She lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.

Bai Qiyun watched from the side, not daring to say a word.

He had finally seen this matter clearly, but it was not the specific details of the incident, but another conflict between the residents of Qinglai Island and Tianling's beliefs.

It was obvious that Tianling did not follow the rules this time, and it seemed to be premeditated.

You must know that the treasures caught from the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea are all placed in the shrine, how could they be lost quietly?

If the security capabilities pursued by Tian Ling were only like this, I am afraid that they would have been pushed to Narukami Island by the resistance forces of Kaiji Island. How could the current situation be maintained.

In other words, this theft was most likely directed and staged by Tian Ling.

From this point of view, this incident is not just a theft, but Tianling Shengxing's attempt to regain control of Qinglai Island.

If Bai Qiyun guessed correctly, the batch of lost treasures was by no means limited to this one, but had been scattered throughout the homes of residents on the island by thoughtful people.

If Xiao San's case is confirmed, Tian Ling Feng Xing can use this as an excuse to search for the lost treasure from house to house.

And when that time comes, even Asara Shrine will not be able to refuse Tian Ling's request.

In this process, more incidents may arise, allowing Tian Ling to further strengthen his control over Qinglai Island.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun glanced at the people in front of him.

As a suspect, Kozo looked nervous and looked like he was getting rid of this false accusation. Yuuji who was standing next to him had an unconcerned face.

Obviously, the inside story of this incident was not told to him. He just accidentally discovered the lost object following the orders of his superiors.

Qian Laili's face was very serious. It was obvious that she had understood the logic behind this, so she became so serious.
