But this assassin was clearly different from ordinary people.
Because before coming, he had already learned some information about Bai Luo from Kujo Takayuki.
As an experienced master, he knew very well that such simple exploration could not really reveal the true situation inside the house.
so
After quietly retreating to a sufficient distance, he imitated the maid's steps and walked to the door at a leisurely pace.
"Who's outside?"
When they were almost halfway there, Bai Luo's slightly alert voice was heard in the room.
Hearing this voice, the mysterious man in nightgown showed a slightly disdainful expression on his face.
Because the distance he had just retreated from was his own warning zone.
But he was already halfway there before the people in the room noticed his approach. It seemed that Lord Xiaoxing still overestimated this so-called envoy.
"Your Excellency, do you need hot water? After the action, my body is all sticky with sweat. It will be very uncomfortable if I don't wash it."
Pinching his throat, he imitated the maid's voice very accurately.
Before coming here, he specifically asked the maid about the entire process of their contact.
It couldn't be easier to do this.
With these preparations, this might be the easiest task he has ever performed in such a long time.
"No need. I told you I don't want any strangers approaching here."
Bai Luo's slightly impatient voice came from inside the house.
"Yes, ambassador."
After confirming that Bai Luo was still in the room and had no intention of leaving, the mysterious man quietly left.
But about thirty minutes later, he appeared quietly nearby again and repeated his previous actions to approach the room.
Only this time, the candles in the room had been blown out, and in the dark room there were only some low gasps and some sounds that could not be described.
And this was indeed what he wanted to hear.
After confirming, he quietly restored the observation hole to its original state and left the place quietly.
But what he didn't realize was that after he left, another invisible figure passed through the thick wall, quietly followed behind him, and left here as well.
After walking out of Bai Luo's "warning range", he walked without any worries and rushed towards Kujo Takayuki's study.
The latter seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking very anxious.
That’s right, this concerns his life safety, how could he not be anxious
"Goemon, what's going on?"
After hearing the knock on the door, he opened it immediately and let the mysterious man in.
"Things are just as you expected, Master."
Okawara Goemon took off the veil covering his face, bowed, and spoke.
And he was the swordsman who had taken the lead in surrounding Bai Luo in the martial arts arena before.
"That's good, that's good..."
After hearing what Ohkawara Goemon said, Kujo Takayuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the other party has accepted my "good intentions", it means that there is still room for things to turn around.
In addition, since he has pushed almost all the problems onto his offspring, the possibility of Bai Luo causing trouble for him in the future will be very small.
If he humbles himself at that time, perhaps the other party will help him "regain" the rights of the head of the family, and maybe reach cooperation with him again.
As for the nine-striped sara
"I'm sorry, Sha Luo, you are just an adopted son, and an adopted son should play his due role."
If Kujo Takayuki still felt a little sorry for Kamajiro and Masahito, he did not seem to have any regrets towards Kujo Sara.
Instead, there is a sense of entitlement.
"Master, isn't this an overreaction? How about I kill him in the dark? This way, we can save a lot of trouble."
Compared to the cautious Kujo Takayuki, Okawara Goemon looks much more confident.
The simple test just now made him feel that this so-called envoy was just a show-off. If he took action, he would definitely be able to kill him.
It’s not that he is blindly confident.
In a sense, he is already the strongest swordsman in Inazuma who does not have the Eye of God, and was even once called the number one swordsman in Inazuma.
With his ultimate swordsmanship, even many people with God's Eyes were killed by his sword.
Unfortunately, a guy named Battousai appeared in Inazuma later, and from then on, he had to take second place.
Chapter 904: Town Magistrate's Office Detention Center
"No, he is not as simple as you think. When he is in the mansion, you must not provoke him without my order! Do you understand?"
After Ohgawara Goemon gave his advice, Kujo Takayuki was so scared that he almost lost his soul.
How to say it
He regarded General Lei Dian's thoughtless sword strike as a belief, but after knowing that the move was useless against Bai Luo, he was already frightened.
This incident has become an indelible demon in his heart.
Unless one day Bai Luo is really killed by General Lei Dian's Wuxiang Sword, Bai Luo will always be his nightmare.
"I understand!"
After receiving a response from Ohkawara Goemon, Kujo Takayuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat down at his seat and once again looked through the file that he had already looked through countless times tonight.
What is recorded above is basically the process of Tianling's extermination of the Fatui.
Originally, he made these records in order to seek credit from the Lord Ogosho on behalf of his descendant, Kujo Masahito.
Now, he took out this hidden file just to find out the details in it that might be related to him, and then find a way to completely extricate himself.
As for what method to use
As a veteran in officialdom, he has plenty of methods.
But he didn't know that behind him, a pair of ruthless eyes took in all the contents.
No wonder no one came to greet him after he entered Inazuma City for so long, and even some of the original strongholds disappeared.
It turned out that the old man Kujo Takayuki was causing trouble behind the scenes.
According to the rules of the Fatui, the old man Kujo Takayuki should be on the list of debt handlers and become part of the "debt".
However... ... seeing this old man wiping the cold sweat from his forehead while flipping through the documents, he gave up this plan.
It’s not that he felt sorry for the old guy.
Because he knew one thing very well.
If he got rid of this guy Kujo Takayuki, he would not be sure what kind of person the new magistrate would be who would replace this old man.
If it were other small families, it would be fine. These small families are more or less in collusion with the Fatui. He only needs to use some small tricks, and the new Lord of the Court will still be a puppet of the Fatui.
I’m afraid his three children will take his place.
Not to mention Kujo Sara, given her loyalty to General Raiden, it would be much more difficult to persuade her to rebel than to trick Goro into wearing women's clothes.
Even Kujo Kamajui and Kujo Masahito were much better characters than their father Kujo Takayuki.
I have to say, this old guy really wanted to pave the way for his children, and basically did not reveal the collusion with the Fatui to the two of them.
So now, not only can Kujo Takayuki not die, but he has to live well.
At least until Bai Luo completes Inazuma's mission, Kujo Takayuki can continue to sit in the position of Lord Bugyo.
Of course, the premise is that he doesn't do anything tricky.
But compared to these, Bai Luo was more concerned about another thing.
Something that Kujo Takayuki had not yet noticed, but Bai Luo had already realized.
And this incident is enough to plunge the former into eternal damnation.
With a slight smile on his lips, he stood behind Kujo Takayuki and quietly left the place.
Not to mention our Lord Bugyo, even Okawara Goemon, who had been waiting by his side, was not aware of this matter.
The town magistrate's prison can be said to be the most feared place in the entire Inazuma, where all kinds of prisoners are held.
There are many people who can get out of here, but there are really few who can get out of here safely.
And among them must be a person, or a person who can not be considered a person—the red demon Aradaki Ichito.
"Is this the ghost tribe that was rumored?"
Looking at Ichito Arata who was sleeping soundly in the cell, the new prison guard Maeda seemed to be ready to make some moves.
When Kujo Sara was in Inazuma Castle, the town magistrate's prison was not that scary. At least the people here would not abuse lynching.
But ever since the general went to the front, things have gradually started to go wrong here.
At the beginning, they only received orders from Kujo Takayuki to lynch those who were framed and let them die in prison "due to illness".
Later, without any restraint, they became more and more daring.
These prison guards began to find various ways to collect bribes from the families of some prisoners. If the relatives were unwilling to give, the people who were locked up would receive a certain punishment to a certain extent.
I am grateful to the prison guards for letting me out alive.
Even if you give them benefits, at most they will not beat you, or beat you less, there will be no preferential treatment at all.
"Hey, Maeda, what do you want to do?"
Seeing this newcomer walking towards the ghosts in the prison with a whip, several prison guards on the scene were so scared that they almost dropped the wine glasses in their hands.
"It's rare to meet a ghost tribe, I want to try what it feels like."
Pulling the whip in his hand, a hint of excitement appeared in Maeda's eyes.
Although he had only been in the town magistrate's prison for a short time, he had already learned the tricks of his predecessors and was even more ruthless than them.
"You can't hit him! You can't hit him!"
Several veterans rushed forward at the same time and stopped the prison guard named Maeda.
The one who seemed to be in a higher position directly snatched the whip from his hand and slapped him.
"Why... why?"
Covering his face and looking at his boss, Maeda looked a little aggrieved.
Didn't they do this before
Is there something strange about this ghost clan
"If you want to cause trouble, don't take us with you!"
He took a look at the ghost detained in the prison and found that the other party was still sleeping soundly and was not aware of the situation here. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
This ghost sent here by Lord Kujo Sara cannot be beaten!
It’s not that he has any special relationship with the general, otherwise he wouldn’t have been sent in.
It was purely because of the deputy behind him—Shinobu Kuki.
At the beginning, these older generation prison guards bullied the other party for being a brainless ghost. Like Maeda, they had a curious mentality and used many tortures on the other party.
It has to be said that the ghost clan is more resilient than ordinary people.
After almost all the punishments were used in one round, this ghost still looked very energetic and even felt that these so-called punishments were just a game.
He also happily introduced to them a game called Bug Fighting.
If that's all, it's nothing.
One day later, a mysterious man named Kuki Shinobu walked into the Tenryo Bugyosho with a thick stack of documents.
