Chapter 2140 Shifting the Center of the Storm

Before Matsumoto Kaoru could answer, Akari Yui, already horrified, interrupted.

"Matsugami-ji! No! How can I let you bear all this alone? Everything you did was for me!"

Matsumoto Kaori gritted her teeth.

"I accidentally killed Harada Munetoki. I will take responsibility for this myself. I cannot let Senior Song take it for me."

Matsukami Sae shook her head and said coldly.

"If we want to pass, and if the cadets want a future, I must kill these two people with my own hands.

Fortunately, Master Ching Hai did not see us killing people, but only saw us standing with the corpses afterwards. We can judge for ourselves the appropriateness of this and make the most powerful explanation. "

Glancing at the two people who didn't believe her, Matsukami Sae sighed and said frankly.

"I have stepped on the holy bed and I am the woman of a saint. Only if I kill someone, the saint may show mercy and give me a small punishment or a severe warning.

After all, His Majesty Ida has always disliked me, and the Saint knows it well."

Matsukami Sae felt bitter. She had always kept a low profile, but because of the favor of the saint, Date Masamune was unhappy with her, which led to Nagano Yomori using the saint's favor to target her everywhere.

But at this moment, this has become a talisman for Matsukami Sae to escape blame.

Harada Munetoki, who served under Date Masamune, and Nagano Yoshimori, who always made things difficult for him. . They really had a way to die.

Matsukami Sae couldn't bear it anymore and killed these two people. It can only be regarded as an internal dispute of the Divine Group. Outsiders should not say anything, and the saint does not have the face to punish them severely.

The Mother of the Gods does not like the newcomers of the Saint Grass. The newcomers of the Saint Grass mean that new families of the Gods may appear and divide the power of the various families of the Gods.

As a latecomer, Date Masamune enjoyed this benefit, so he was even more wary of others following his old path.

Therefore, Date Masamune secretly created obstacles to allow Nagano Yoshimori to suppress Matsukami Sae unscrupulously.

Without Date Masamune's support, would Nagano Yoshimori dare to embarrass a female warrior who had slept with a saint? Impossible!

In fact, Harada Sotoki was quite innocent. She kept her distance from Matsugami Sae, but was accidentally dragged into it. Even after her death, she was still slandered.

Matsukami Sae is now bent on relating this matter to the love rival entanglement of the descendant of God. The saint cannot control his belt and caused such a dirty thing, so he would not be embarrassed to punish Matsukami Sae severely.

How can he have the nerve to continue to hold on to the murder case when he can't control his own woman? In the end, he just lets it go and lets it go.

What Matsukami Sae was betting on was that the saint did not really care about the murder and would choose to deal with it perfunctorily, and then he would seize the political peace handle of the pro-Ichijo faction under Shiba and start a fight with them.

In this way, the core of the storm was far away, and the three cadets were able to pass safely.

Everyone's attention will be drawn to the saint's next cleansing method. Who would care about the death of two high-ranking martial artists?

Akari and Matsumoto Kaoru were convinced by Matsuue Sae's detailed explanation, but Matsumoto Kaoru still didn't quite understand and asked.

"I understand the logic, but why did Senior Song ask me to go find Qing Hai of the Sanada family? What's the point of doing this?"

Matsukami Sae smiled slightly, and Ming Liyou, feeling relieved, had regained some of her former arrogance and started to speak to her junior.

“Use your brain.

We promised Qinghai that night not to tell anyone. If we go back on our word now, we will offend the Sanada family.

But Princess Matsukami even admitted to the murder, and in the name of being a loyal saint, she also sold out Seikai's identity as Miyoshi Masayasu, so the Sanada family couldn't say much.

I asked you to inform them in advance. Firstly, we can establish a good relationship and let the Sanada family prepare so that they will not resent us in the future.

Secondly, I think the evidence in Matsukami-hime's hands is not strong enough. If she wants to reveal some explosive information, she needs to rely on the support of the Sanada family."

Matsukami Sae smiled at Akari and said.

“Arikie is right.

After all, I am not from the intelligence system. Even if I have collected information carefully over the past two months, I don't actually have much solid evidence.

The Akai family in Tamba Province is quite powerful, and the Isono family in Omi Province is also a famous local family. They cannot be shaken without solid evidence.

However, when Akarihime exposed their affair with the Ichijo family, she created an irreconcilable feud with them.

If you don't kill the tiger, you will suffer from it. If you want to do it, you have to prove that they are collaborating with the enemy and make sure they will never be able to turn over.

The leader of the Kanto Security Group, Sarutobi Sasuke, is from Sanada. The leader of the Security Group, Kirikage Saizo, and Lord Sanada and Sarutobi Sasuke are also good friends.

Lord Sanada has a fiery temper and is always protective of his people. Master Qinghai is an indispensable economic talent for the Sanada family. Lord Sanada will never sit idly by and watch Master Qinghai die.

Since I guess that the saint wants this matter to become a big deal, then he is not afraid of causing a big uproar. Let the Sanada family reveal the news, and the degree of shock will definitely be much greater than ours.

In order to protect Masayasu Miyoshi, one of the Miyoshi Three, His Majesty Sanada must at least throw out enough explosive information to divert the saint's attention and help Master Qinghai escape.

Anyway, no matter what the final result is, we have already escaped from the whirlpool, so let's just stand on the shore and carefully watch the performance of the real big shots.

We cannot and cannot afford to get involved in this matter."

Mingliyou and Matsumoto Xiang nodded silently.

After this incident, they deeply felt the darkness of politics and their own weakness.

Although the student soldiers have great potential, their current strength is still too small. Outsiders are friendly to the three of them on a daily basis because of their potential.

But when something really bad happens, all this false friendliness is of no use and cannot help at all.

After passing this stage, the three of them will definitely be more low-key, waiting for the successful graduation of each batch of cadets and female students, and take up jobs within the Shiba system.

This world belongs to the upper class nobles and the young cadets. What the three of them need most now is patience and expectation.

Inari Taisha Shrine, the seat of the divine guards.

Outside the yard, Ming Liyou looked at the branches of flowers on the wall in front of her without saying a word.

The autumn is really deep. Although I can't tell what kind of tree it is, the branches and leaves have already turned yellow under the chilly autumn air.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Yamaguchi Ichi hurried over, bowed with a cold fake smile on his face.

"I'm really sorry, but I couldn't put down the things I was doing and kept you waiting for a long time, Mingli."

Ming Li looked at Yamaguchi Ichi indifferently, who was smiling but not smiling, and knew that she was deliberately late just to mess with her mentality.

But after Matsukami Sae's plan, Akari already had a plan in mind. She was no longer as desperate and irritable as before, but very calm.

Ming Liyou did not return the greeting. After Yamaguchi did this, the two sides had already torn their relations apart. There was no need for false greetings, so he asked straight to the point.

"Where is Aoba?"
