Hello, I am a witch, not an evil god

All he has in his heart right now is fear and worry.

Since the general left suddenly for a while a while ago, when he came back, his whole state has changed, he has become moody, he can lose his temper over any trivial matter, and the governance of the whole country has become chaotic.

Fortunately, there is no nonsense in major decision-making, and officials will persuade them in time if they want to make nonsense. Otherwise, the national policy may point to messy things, which will speed up the rule of the shogunate.

The people below haven't made enough money, and don't want Inari to fall into civil strife.

and……

"General, the time of the tide is approaching, please think twice."

"Well, I got it, let's go down first, investigate the source of the disappearance of those people's funds, and find Her Majesty the Queen."

"As ordered!"

"..."

After his subordinates left, the general turned to face the wall and took off his mask. The fox's face was full of exhaustion.

Last time, because my fellow clansmen acted without authorization, I went to stop it alone, but was struck by lightning for 10 minutes in the end, and was saved only by being waved by the ancient god of the Great Hunting Island to stop the thunder.

This dealt a huge blow to his mentality of No.1 under the gods.

Forget about Agares, the Haisha leader of the same clan...

The general couldn't help sighing.

"Why bother."

It was reported in the military newspaper that Tianli Shrine solved Dahuning Island. Of course, he didn’t believe it, because he could feel the strong aura of gods on the island, which was very familiar. He was sure that it was the aura of Dayumu .

Apparently, it was the Great Yumu God who personally took action to solve the troubles on Big Hunting Island.

As for the priestess from the Tianli Shrine, it should have just happened to pass by, because there was no one there when he was on the island, and the priestess returned to Linxin City from the direction of Big Hunting Island long after the storm subsided.

But he didn't say anything, and acquiesced to this set of rhetoric of Tianli Shrine to solve the trouble.

At present, this shrine is not worthy of his attention, which will waste a lot of his energy - simply put, he has no spare energy to pay attention to these "details".

Of course, according to the outside world, it is natural that the shogunate led civil organizations to successfully solve the trouble.

After the Great Yumu God appeared in person, the general knew that he would never go back.

The Great Yumu God may have been very disappointed with him, because this matter cannot be resolved, and he is not a qualified ruler at all.

Recalling that he actually let the main force stand still, and secretly tried to suppress the Haisha leader of the same clan by himself, he felt very funny and ridiculous.

He didn't know why he made such a move, was it to make up for the trauma of that fellow clansman?Or is it to vent the depression caused by the difficulty of maintaining the regime for so many years?

His temperament has changed drastically, and he is more likely to get angry. He knows it very well.

But to be clear, he couldn't change at all—after trying to suppress his anger a few times, he became more irritable and irrational, and almost made more serious mistakes.

The emperor is missing, the gods of Dahuning Island wake up, the god of Yumu personally takes action, and the tide is approaching...

All kinds of major problems rushed to the face, overwhelming the general who was struggling to maintain the shogunate.

At this time, a shrine is insignificant at all, and if you want to reward something, just let your subordinates do it yourself, and reward as much as you like.

He casually brought up the documents on the side, which showed the tax situation for the past year.

The income and expenditure above can be described in two words——

deficit.

That is, living beyond our means.

He is very clear about the reasons for the financial insufficiency.

Those Chinese control all kinds of important economic lifelines in Inari, not to mention taking advantage of loopholes in the law to avoid taxes, and they also cleverly set up a pretext to raise prices and plunder the property of ordinary people.

such as--

Purchase farmers' land and then sublease it to farmers to form land mergers.

In this way, due to some problems in the law, the gentry who own the land do not need to pay so much land tax, but the farmers who lease their land have to pay the tax on the original land every year, which leads to more and more land taxation. Some people can't afford to pay taxes, so they just put it badly and don't pay, and would rather go to prison than pay.

——No money to pay.

The common people have no money to pay, the wealthy gentry evade taxes, and the officials below are seriously corrupt.

This is just a description, the real problem is much more serious than it appears on the surface.

The general wanted to amend the law to prevent tax evasion and other problems of the Chinese and financial groups, but he encountered great obstacles internally. Things that violated and misinterpreted orders often happened. The implementation of the law was full of difficulties and he was powerless.

Those Chinese consortia control the lifeline of the entire Inari. Energy, electricity, foreign trade, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, rice, etc. are all firmly controlled by them, and they cannot move easily. If they move, they will inevitably encounter countless obstacles, and even trigger various more serious problem.

If it weren't for the shogunate's core system of generals and superhumans, it would have been wiped out long ago.

The general did not have the skill and determination to cut through the mess quickly, and in the end he could only rely on personal force and the system maintained by his predecessors to maintain the rule of the shogunate.

All kinds of struggle and hesitation flickered in his eyes, and it took him a long time to relax.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after the tidal wind passes."

He put on his mask again and regained his majesty, "Come here, inform the minister, and go to court."

----------

On the TV, the news broadcast the recent events.

As mentioned above, there have been several bizarre deaths recently in the outer coastal areas of the Binhai District. According to expert appraisal, it is judged that those things are carrying some kind of deadly substance in the deep sea.Here, TV stations and experts appeal to coastal residents not to touch unfamiliar things at will, so as not to be poisoned and die.

"Is this the work of that wild shikigami?"

Shenli Linyue pointed to the paper figurine on TV that had been coded later.

The paper figurine was different from the two paper figurines that Shenli Linyue solved. After being folded into a human form, there were pictures of beautiful beauties drawn on them.

Not to mention those fishermen by the sea, even if Shenli Linyue encountered it, she couldn't help but pick it up and ponder it carefully.

Don't get me wrong, Shenli Linyue just wants to appreciate whether the painting is good-looking, whether the details are in place...you just listen carefully.

And Kujo Sanae took a look and directly rejected Shenli Linyue's words: "Of course not, this is a shikigami out of the control of Onmyoji."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help complaining again: "This onmyoji really knows how to play, and even draws pictures on his own shikigami, painting them as beautiful women. I suspect that this shikigami also has related abilities, such as seducing the target or something." .”

Shenli Linyue fell into deep thought, "Then, if this onmyoji carefully draws this shikigami, makes it grow into his favorite appearance, and then uses it on others, is he considered a leader?"

"?" Kutiao Sanae turned to look at Shenli Linyue with a very confused expression, obviously unable to keep up with Shenli Linyue's train of thought.

The place where they are now is Kujo Sanae's home, that is, there is only TV here, and there is no idea when to buy the TV set of Tenri Shrine.

Don't ask, the next one is better.

"The onmyoji's shikigami is out of control, it should mean that the 'tide' is coming, right?"

"If history is right, it is."

"It's really troublesome. I haven't sent the money to settle Big Hunting Island, but something happened again."

Shenli Linyue sighed.

This time, before anyone came to ask her for help and send money, it was very annoying to be targeted once she went shopping.

But even if she asked for help, Shenli Linyue probably didn't want to move.

Maybe you can go out and fight little monsters or something.

According to the information provided by Kujo Sanae, the main threat of this 50-year tide is the deep-sea monsters pushed ashore by the tide.

Among those mysterious beasts, there may be giant beasts comparable to gods hidden, which is the main threat.

But there are other threats, too. Mysterious and unexplainable events that move with the tides in Inari territory are also major threats.

Unexplainable mysterious events include ghosts hitting walls, traveling through time and space, snowing on the ground, and suddenly being cut in half while driving, etc.

These are all included in the Tide Archives book, but it is for reference only, and it is of no real help, because events cannot be predicted at all, let alone prevention and response.

Sometimes, a terrifying deep-sea behemoth will be sent to the city suddenly. The humans and the behemoth are stunned, and neither side can figure out what's going on.

Looking at all kinds of strange and unexplainable phenomena that appeared 50 years ago, a way to make money slowly appeared in Shenli Linyue's mind——

Since there will be so many things happening, then... will there be many bosses in the Secret Council asking for help?

As a transcendent, isn't it the most convenient way to earn rewards for solving these problems?

This is much more stable and safer than solving big events!

The girl's eyes are bright.

It is shameless to make a fortune for the country, but it is not only the country that encounters disasters, but also countless "entrepreneurs"!

Weird doesn't think that if you have money, you won't come into your house.

Chapter 213 Miss Miko is Robbing

"Because someone just died, this beach has been sealed up now, but we have a special profession, so we are not forbidden to go in, but we still have to be careful when going in."

"I see, I understand."

"...?"

Through a mess of analyzes and data that Linyue Shenli could not understand at all, Kujo Sanae roughly calculated the birthplaces of the two shikigami.

This location is located on an unknown small beach in the coastal area.

There is only a small village around here, and the people in it have been fishing for generations.

"The name of the deceased here is Abu, the one we saw on TV two days ago who was killed by the paper figurine with the nude girl." Kujo Sanae said.

"The birthplace of those two wild shikigami is in this place?" Shenli Linyue looked suspicious, "I suspect that you just want to see what the legendary Setu shikigami looks like."

Kujo Sanae couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "I don't have such a strange idea."

After a pause, she added: "Of course, I'm really curious about what that shikigami looks like and what its function is, but I don't want to see Setu or anything... I just want to study Let's see how the shikigami changes, yes, that's it!"

"Pfft..."

Shenli Linyue couldn't help laughing.

Although she understood that Kujo Sanae might really be as she said on the surface, she was just curious about the situation of the shikigami, and wanted to study how the shikigami escaped the control of the onmyoji under the influence of the tide to attack passers-by.

But the way she speaks...it's so cute, the way she speaks arrogant words even though she's not arrogant, it's hard not to make people want to bully her.

But Kutiao Sanae is not Daohuagong Shiratori, and she didn't give Shenli Linyue a chance to bully her. After she finished speaking, she immediately reacted, "No, now is not the time to talk about this, I want that Setu... Bah Bah bah, you can go to the police station for that shikigami. Now our goal is to find the birthplace of those two shikigami!"

In the last sentence, the girl raised her voice to express her emphasis. She took out the two shikigami folded into the backpack, stuffed them into a cup-shaped unknown machine, and pressed them hard.

Then, she pointed the mouth of the cup at the surroundings for a while, then looked towards the direction of the sea.

"It should be on the small island in front. I have to rent a boat from the nearby villagers... Forget it, just buy it, so as not to mess it up when the time comes, it's justifiable."

If you mess it up after renting, you may be opened up by the Lions, but you won't be able to buy it.

of course……

The purchase price may be higher than the lease of the bad lion.

But it can save a lot of trouble.

The two discussed briefly, and then came to the village near the beach together.

The beach where the villagers often went to the sea was blocked, because they were afraid of the "punishment of the sea" and various rumors. At this time, most of the villagers did not go to the sea, and they all huddled in their homes.

The pier is full of all kinds of boats.

There are various styles, the only thing in common is that they are worn out, only the oars look newer-in fact, they have been covered with oars.

Seeing the boats parked on the pier, Kujo Sanae said in surprise: "Is the fishing equipment in this village so backward? We use oars on the sea...and wooden boats. A wave should capsize."

Shenli Linyue took a look, "It's normal, it means that this village is very poor and there are bullies at the same time."

"Bully?" Kujo Sanae was taken aback, "How did you know that?"

Shenli Linyue turned towards a few iron boats docked on the berth, "No, look at these boats, others are so broken, they are so new, and they are still new-style fishing boats with powerful motors on them. , The difference is so big, I don’t believe it’s not a bully.”

"It should be normal to have a few rich people in one place, right?" Kutiao Sanae said.

"It's quite normal, the premise is that those rich people can't make such a big difference on their own, and although fishing can't be rich and rich, it's also impossible to mix such a poor, such a broken boat, I can only guess They've got a vampire on their back."

Shenli Linyue looked at the brand-new fishing boats, gearing up, "I've taken a fancy to these boats, and it depends on whether the owner of the boat is as pernicious as I think. If that's the case...hehehehehe..."

"..." Kutiao Sanae.
