Chapter 215: Past Events (Society Pursuit)
After the head of the Kanjo Bugyo family left, there were only two people left in the entire meeting room.
Unlike the other two magistrates, Chen Yue and She magistrates looked at each other without saying anything. After a while, they both laughed at the same time.
"Ahahaha... Well done, head of the community. The plan went smoothly. As expected, your Kamisato family has always been good at doing things. It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary."
Chen Yue clapped his hands in satisfaction, with an undisguised smile on his face.
The head of the Kamisato family bowed slightly and said humbly: "Lord Chen, you are very kind. This is just my duty. I feel very honored to be able to serve you." He always had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of nervousness that was difficult to conceal.
Chen Yue looked at the head of the Kamisato family, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. This person held a pivotal position in Inazuma. Not only was he highly capable, but he was also cautious and good at handling all kinds of complicated relationships. Such a talent was exactly what he needed.
"My previous promise to you is still valid. From now on, all political affairs of Inazuma will be handled by you, the Society Magistrate. I hope you can become the third in command of Inazuma and help me and the gods solve problems."
"And seeing that you are so efficient, I will give you an extra right. For the next thousand years, the Kamisato family will always be in the leading position of the community, and this will not change no matter what happens."
When the head of the Kamisato family heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and the smile on his face became even brighter. His family was about to usher in unprecedented glory and opportunities. He quickly bowed and saluted to express his gratitude to Chen Yue.
"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your trust. The Kamisato family will do its best to contribute to the prosperity and stability of Inazuma." The voice of the head of the Kamisato family was full of firmness and determination.
After hearing this, Chen Yue showed a hint of satisfaction on his face and nodded slightly in response. He felt a little relieved to receive a satisfactory reply, but at the same time he also understood the great responsibility.
"I've entrusted most of the matters to you, so please do it well. If anything goes wrong, I'll kill you!"
After saying this, Chen Yue slowly walked towards the head of the Kamisato family and stood in front of him. He gently patted the other's shoulder and joked in a relaxed tone: "Of course, I'm just joking with you, don't be too nervous. However, since you have accepted this commission, you must take it seriously."
"Sir, you are joking. There is no such thing as 'truth'. Hasn't Inazuma always been the only god, the Shogun?" The head of the Kamisato family responded with a confident look, which was mixed with a little doubt.
"You kid, there's no need to be so restrained now since there's no one else here. Shin and Kage are both Inazuma's gods, but Shin hasn't shown up in a long time. Do your best and don't let me down."
"I believe that you are capable of this task. I hope you can live up to everyone's expectations and bring a better future to Inazuma."
A mysterious smile appeared on Chen Yue's face, as if hinting at something.
"The power of the three magistrates is now probably balanced. They are responsible for military, commercial and political affairs respectively, so conflicts are not likely to occur. This balance can probably be maintained for some time."
"I can probably guess about future conflicts. They should be about interests, but they are no longer about power. I'll have to trouble your Kamisato family to resolve them when the time comes."
Although Chen Yue was smiling when he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this smile was definitely not serious.
"Sir, what you said is not very nice. What do you mean it is not about power? Even if it is about his power, what does it matter?"
"Isn't power, big or small, all for the purpose of serving the people? I'm just doing my job, so why would I be in trouble?"
The head of the Kamisato family spoke back, responding with the same smile.
"Hey, your understanding is good. It's rare to find people who can treat this as their job. But sometimes, if you say something that is not conducive to unity, don't say it, so as not to cause any trouble."
Chen Yue spoke up to remind the head of the Kamisato family. He didn't want his newly found right-hand men to be chopped off by others.
"That's, but older, sir, my sister is, see, an apprentice shrine maiden, shrine maiden, ah, shrine maiden." The head of the Kamisato family suddenly became stuttering, as if he found it difficult to speak.
Chen Yue looked at him with a puzzled look and said with a smile:
"Apprentice? A miko!"
Smiling helplessly, Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh that every head of the Kamisato family has a bit of a sister complex.
"Mikoto? My lord, you have a surprise for me today!" The head of the Kamisato family said with some surprise. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
A few days ago, his sister told him that she wanted to go to the shrine for a visit. Yesterday, he planned to let his sister go there to be an apprentice shrine maiden, but today she became a shrine maiden.
"You are still young, so it is understandable that she needs to learn more. It just so happens that there are a few people I know over there. With your sister's beauty, I believe she should be able to attract the attention of the palace official."
Chen Yue explained with a smile, and there seemed to be some deeper meaning hidden in his words.
The head of the Shenli family heard the meaning of Chen Yue's words, and a glimmer of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He knew that Chen Yue was secretly paving the way for his sister, giving her the opportunity to achieve greater development.
"Thank you very much, sir. Your great kindness will always be remembered in our Kamisato family." The head of the Kamisato family bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Chen Yue.
"Oh, I told you not to be so polite. Be normal. This is not a formal occasion."
Chen Yue waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do so. As the big family of Inazuma, as long as the Kamisato family was sincere to him, he would also return the sincerity.
"Okay, I'll leave these matters to you. I still have some things to do, so I won't keep you any longer." Chen Yue said, turning and walking towards his study.
"Then I'll take my leave first." The head of the Kamisato family bowed to Chen Yue, then turned and left the room.
Chen Yue looked at his departing back, thinking deeply. He knew that the head of the Kamisato family was a smart man and would definitely understand his intentions.
At the Kamizato family, the head of the Kamizato family was excitedly telling his sister the good news.
Compared with the Kamisato family, the atmosphere in the other two families was not so relaxed.
The Tenryo Bugyo returned and immediately began to prepare for related matters, and also completed the handover with the Town Bugyo. The Kanjo Bugyo immediately held a meeting to discuss diplomatic matters.
