Chapter 2138: Every time more dogs are slaughtered due to righteousness
Although Yamaguchi's approach is cruel and has no bottom line, causing innocent people to fall into the abyss, it is the only way now.
The murder case must be solved, and it must be solved quickly. It is not a big deal to implicate a few innocent people. If it were not for the tight surveillance from above, it would be normal to find a few scapegoats.
In this world, ordinary people with no power are just there to complete KPIs.
Since the big shot can't move, we can only use Aoba, a young cousin with no background, to make a fuss and try to stir up Akariyu's nerves.
Although Akariyu has entered the circle of the ruling class, he is from a civilian background and lacks political literacy.
Moreover, young people can't do anything when they are impulsive. Yamaguchi hopes that her impulsiveness can help him break the deadlock.
No matter it is Hosokawa, Sanada, Uesugi, or the cadets and other holy sword groups, no one like Yamaguchi Ichi can easily touch them, not even if she has Mikazuki Munechika in her hand.
Then, we can only aggrieve the most innocent and despicable Qingye.

Duowen Mountain Castle is a castle town.
In the early years, saints traveled here and there and heard that the mountain city was poorly built and the popularity here was average.
However, in the past two years, as the status of the saint became higher and higher, and he rarely went out while sitting in Duowenshan Castle, the castle town of Duowenshan Castle gradually became prosperous.
Originally, Mount Tamon was the only way to enter the Kyoto Basin from the Nara Basin. With the saint's brilliance shining on it, it became more and more prosperous, and many townspeople settled here to make a living.
On this day, Matsukami Sarei suddenly received an invitation from Akari Yu, which made her feel nervous.
Although the students were following the Saint, due to their status, they could only be stationed at the school grounds outside the city. As the instructor, Akari naturally lived in the camp of the students.
However, Matsukami Sarei is a core member of the Saint's Secretariat, and lives in the castle residence waiting for her vocation.
The two of them lived not far away, but their identities were completely different, and they could not see each other on a daily basis.
Especially after the incident in Feitian Xindi, the two parties maintained a tacit understanding and reduced their interactions to prevent the divine guards from spying on them.
But today, Akariyu seemed to have forgotten her scruples and took the initiative to invite Matsukami Sarei to meet her.
When Matsukami Sarei arrived at the agreed wine shop, she saw Matsumoto Kao. Matsumoto Kao also saw her and immediately stood up and saluted.
"Matsugami-san."
Matsukami Sarong frowned.
"Why are you here?"
After graduating from the second batch of trainees, they began to wait for assignments and entered various positions within the Sibo establishment.
As the chief of the second Holy Sword Group, Matsumoto Xiang was naturally favored by Naomasa Ii and planned to let her work in the Tongxin Secretariat.
There is a complex historical relationship between the Sibo Center and the local area.
The Secretariat of Tongxin not only wants to unite the local divine families, but is also wary and disgusted with the behavior of these divine mothers to control local power and devour the territory.
But in the view of the saint, the mother of the divine descendants used the rules of the game to annex and digest more external leaders and accumulate strength, which would be conducive to the stability of Spo's divine power in the future.
After all, land is the foundation of political power.
If the Sibo regime wants long-term peace and stability, the Divine Group must directly control more than half of the 20 million stone territories in the world, and the more, the better.
Therefore, even though the Tongxin Secretariat had been complaining about the local gods' robbery, the saint just let it go and did not deal with it severely.
For this reason, Ii Naomasa prefers to use the elites of the military academy with innocent family backgrounds, and excludes the children of rich and noble families.
These civilian elites rely on the fair grading mechanism of the students and often become members of the Holy Sword Group upon graduation. In particular, Ji Samurai, who ranks first, is the elite among the elites.
Having tasted the sweetness of Matsukami Sae, Ii Naomasa simply named Matsumoto Kaoru, the second-generation chief executive, and asked her to be on standby to keep it for himself.
That's why Matsumoto Xiang stayed in Duowenshan City, waiting for work arrangements.
Sarei Matsukami, Yu Akari, and Kaoru Matsumoto were all involved in the murder that night, but at this moment, Akari Yu even ignored her taboos and asked them out together.
Just when Matsukami Sarei frowned, Akari Yuya arrived.
As soon as she arrived, she filled three glasses of wine on the table, bowed to the two of them, and drank the wine.
"Hime Matsukami, Hime Matsumoto, I am very grateful for the help you have given me. I invited you here today just to explain one thing.
I have made up my mind to surrender to the Divine Guard, but I promise you that I will resist everything and will never reveal a word about you.
There should be some relief in this matter, so let me end it."
Matsumoto Xiang was shocked and was about to say something, but was grabbed by Matsukami Sae.
Matsukami picked up the wine glass on the table and said slowly.
"I heard that Aoba has been invited by Yamaguchi to question him in detail."
There was a trace of exhaustion on Akariyu's face, the bags under her eyes were heavy, and her once clear eyes had lost their sparkle.
"Interrogation? I think it's torture to extract a confession.
Yamaguchi couldn't find any flaws with us, and she didn't dare to force a confession from us. In order to give an explanation to her superiors, she...
This beast is shouting slogans about killing evil, but he is doing things more terrifying than evil spirits.
Aoba is just an ordinary little man, she can't resist Miburou's tricks.
I can't sleep all night these days. In my dreams, I always see Qingye encountering things that are more terrifying than death.
I can't stand it anymore, I will end this matter, give Qingye a relief, and also give myself a relief, and use my death to end this matter.
I'm very sorry for not living up to everyone's expectations. I can only stop here. The future of the students is entrusted to you two.
Please!"
Matsumotoka's eyes turned red. She broke away from the always awe-stricken Matsukami Sarei, picked up the only remaining glass of wine on the table, poured it on Akariyu's face, and cursed.
"Akari Yu! Please wake up! Do you think this matter will be over if you confess your guilt!"
You should know very well what kind of people the Rensheng Wolves are, you will kill us all!
It took a lot of effort for you to achieve your status today, but you have to give up everything for a male cousin. Are you crazy?
You are just for that male cousin, are you worthy of us? Are you worthy of my efforts!"
Matsumoto Xiang's eyes were filled with tears. Looking at Akari Yu in front of her, she still clearly remembered the scene when the two met for the first time.
In this place... the senior sister said she can't hear it, she can't hear it... speak louder...
He is obviously a gentle person who comes to tuck me into bed at night, but he pretends to be so fierce.
Although he obviously loves his schoolmates so much and considers everyone wholeheartedly, he always pretends to be cold and unkind.
Matsumoto Ka's family was ruined, and she relied on her passion to pass the Shiba Selection. When she met Akari Yu, she fell in love with her cold appearance and gentle heart.
Matsumoto Xiang didn't know what was wrong with her, but as long as she could see Akari Yu, she would be happy.
That night, Akariyu and Aoba quarreled, and Akariyu left in despair. The silent Matsumoto Xiang kept watching and thinking about it.
Therefore, she was able to arrive in time.
There is never help without reason in this world, only love without knowing its origin.
Seeing Akari Yu willing to give up everything and die for Aoba, Matsumotoka instantly lost her mind. She couldn't restrain the anger and jealousy in her heart, and dared to get angry in front of the two senior sisters.
At this moment, Akari didn't understand the love that Matsumoto was hiding in her heart. She just looked at Matsumoto and apologized sincerely.
"I'm very sorry. I know what I did was stupid, but...but...I really can't see Aoba suffer."
Compared to Matsumoto Kaoru, Matsukami Sarei was indeed calm enough. She just drank the wine silently, savoring the bitterness, and spoke slowly.
"Akari Yu, do you know what you are doing? If we are caught by the wild dogs of Miburou, we will be completely ruined. The students will also fall because of you, and the sisters will never be able to stand out again."
Akariyu smiled numbly, looked at the two of them and said.
"I know, so I swear, I will shut up and wait for that day.
It's not that I don't understand the truth, it's just... I just don't want Aoba to continue to be tortured.
Please believe me, I will never betray my partners, I will die, use my body to give Yamaguchi a result, give an explanation to the saint, and let this matter end here."
Matsukami Sae held down the delivered Matsumoto incense and asked coldly.
"Is it worth doing this?"
Akari looked out the window and sighed.
"Matsugami Hime, you know that my background is not good and my family is very poor. The only thing I am good at in my life is studying hard and working hard to make progress.
Until that day, I met Qingye, and it was he who made me understand that there are actually other colors in this world, and there are other things worth cherishing."
Matsumotoxiang sneered.
"He is just a male cousin. You should know very well that he is only nice to you just to climb out of the cesspit of Feitian Xindi!"
Akari let out a breath.
"I know, of course I know.
He wants to leave there, it's not his choice, it's just his origin.
So why am I not? My background leaves me with no other choice but to work hard and make progress.
I don't blame him, but I want to thank him. He made me feel and understand that I can be loved and I also long to be loved.
Matsukami-hime, Matsumoto-hime, we are not from high backgrounds, so we cannot be as utilitarian and ruthless as those from famous families.
I can't do it, and neither can we.
If you were smart enough, you wouldn't have shown up to save me that day, and you wouldn't have fallen into the predicament that I am in today.
I'm very grateful to you. I should listen to your advice, but I can't do it. I can't do it and watch Aoba suffer to death.
This matter has nothing to do with him from beginning to end. He is innocent. I am a woman and there is no reason for me to let the man I love suffer and die on my behalf."
Matsukami Sarei looked at Akari Yu's sincere face, was silent for a while, and finally sighed.
"Every dog is slaughtered for being righteous, and a scholar is for being unfaithful. The sages of the heaven will not deceive me."
If Akariyu was a descendant of a famous family like Hosokawa Fujitaka who received an aristocratic education from an early age, she would never make such a stupid mistake.
Political animals trained by the most elite families will not make such low-level mistakes.
But Matsukami Sae can understand Akariyu, because everyone is the same kind of people, and most of the elites who have climbed up from the bottom cannot become qualified political animals because they are too human.
Social education for the bottom class has always been governed by moral constraints, because benefits cannot be given and fairness cannot be achieved. Only by using the most simple human emotions can we trap the bottom class who have nothing.
That's all, but also to ridicule the bottom class for being ignorant, cruel, and socially inferior.
Maybe the bottom is really rude, shameless, and despicable, but compared to the ruling class above, the bottom is at least humane.
Even scum is a kind of human being. Compared with many ruling classes who have no taste at all and play with the rules to the point of losing their humanity, the bottom is still a person of flesh and blood.
Akariyu decided to surrender and relieve Aoba from the terrible torture she was suffering. Matsukami Sarei understood intellectually that she was stupid and had fallen into someone else's trap, but she could understand it emotionally.
But the problems in this world can never be solved by emotional understanding.
Reality is not fiction, the struggle is cruel and ruthless.
Matsukami Sarei said.
"I'm sorry, Akari-hime, I can't bet the fate of the cadets on your whim.
Even if you don't speak, don't bite, or even commit suicide directly, you can't stop this political storm. Dead people can't speak, but they are more likely to be slandered.
You should understand very well how dirty politics is, and others will never let the students go just because you die. Instead, they will pour more dirty water on the students, and everyone will push down the wall."
There was despair in Akariyu's eyes.
"So, I can't even die?"
Matsukami Sarei said calmly.
"You can't do it if you're dead, but maybe you can give it a try if you're alive."
Akariyu and Matsumotoka were stunned at the same time, Matsumotoka had already spoken first.
"Senior sister Jundu, please make it clear to me, Matsue-senpai, that I am willing to do anything as long as I can save Akari-senpai."
Looking at Matsumotoka's anxious expression, Matsukami Sarei seemed to notice something in her heart, but it was no longer important at this critical moment, so there was no need to delve deeper.
As long as Matsumoto Xiang and the two of them are of the same mind, there will still be a chance to fight for a chance to survive.
Matsukami Sarei said solemnly.
"There is one thing that I have always found strange.
Although Nagano Yashimai and Harada Sotoki were high-level martial artists, in the Sage's view, they were just two minor figures. Why did their deaths attract so much attention from the Sage?
It has been two months. I have been observing and thinking about it for two months, and I found that the saint really cares about this matter.
Akariji, do you think the saint is staring at you?"
Akariyu smiled bitterly.
"Who am I? I am not worthy of a saint's care."
Matsukami Sarong nodded and smiled helplessly.
"So do you think Nagano Yamori and Harada Muneki are worthy? Their deaths are not worthy of the saint's waste of so much energy and attention!
I have a bold guess, and I originally wanted to prepare it as a last resort.
If Yamaguchi Kazuki really finds out something, we can use it to try it, and maybe we can save our future and that of the trainees.
But now, since Akarihime has made up her mind, let's give it a try.
