Under the guidance of Tokugawa Hidemitsu, Chiba Michiko came to a bamboo-wood structure loft full of Fuso style in the Fuso Embassy.
When she walked in, Yoshiko Aimiya, who was sitting on the tatami, immediately stood up: "Miss Chiba is here!"
"I just got some domestic fruits here, let's try them together!"
Fusang's agricultural products have always been treasures sold all over the world.
It is also the main export product of Fuso.
What Yoshiko Aimiya brought out was a luxury item among Fuso’s export products—honeydew melons from Osaka.
This is very precious.
One can be sold for thousands of dollars in the Northern Zhou market!
Michiko Chiba tried to eat a piece, and her eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"
She looked at Li Gong Yizi: "Your Highness, do you still have this kind of fruit here?"
"I want to take two to give to an adult!"
Yoshiko Aimiya replied with a smile: "Of course!"
She turned to her adoptive mother Akira beside her and said, "Please prepare two of the best Osaka melons for me!"
"Hi!" The middle-aged woman wearing traditional Fusang clothes immediately obeyed the order.
Chiba Michiko immediately became happy: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"You're welcome!" Yoshiko Reimiya smiled even more happily.
"That's right!" Michiko Chiba asked while eating honeydew melon: "I heard that His Highness has something to ask me for?"
Yoshiko Reimiya nodded: "Yes... there are some things that Fuso and I have to ask of Miss Chiba!"
After saying that, she solemnly faced Michiko Chiba, put her hands on both sides, and bowed deeply, which was the standard Fuso etiquette.
"I also ask Miss Chiba to agree!"
The Fuso embassy officials kneeling on both sides also bowed deeply: "I beg you, Miss Chiba, to agree!"
Michiko Chiba was a little panicked when she saw this posture. She quickly helped Aiko Reimiya up: "Your Highness...you...I..."
She stammered: "What on earth is going on?"
Yoshiko Aimiya looked at the girl in front of him, took a deep breath, and said: "Miss Chiba, do you know that Fuso is now at the critical point of life and death!"
"Ah!" Michiko Chiba was at a loss.
Isn’t Fuso good?
Why have we reached the critical point of life and death?
Besides, if the sky falls, Daxia will still be there to hold it up.
What's happening here?
Yoshiko Aimiya looked at an official on the left and said: "Nijo-kun, please tell Miss Chiba about the difficulties our country is facing now!"
"Hi!" The official walked out on his knees, knelt down in the middle of the loft, and then stood in front of a marked white line, placed his hands on both sides, and bowed deeply: "Miss Chiba, I'm the person in charge of extraordinary work at the Fuso Police Department.
Good luck with the business!"
"I'm lucky enough to meet you today. It's such an honor!"
Chiba Michiko looked at him stupidly: "Hello Nijo-kun!"
This is a high official.
She was thinking in her heart.
…………………………
Lingpingan rarely turned on the TV in the room.
Almost all news channels on TV are discussing the emerging phenomenon of 'nightmare legends'.
It is different from the excitement on the Internet.
Most of the commentators on TV are strict and conservative.
Just like the current retired director named Zhang.
"Where is the virtual reality technology?"
"I estimate that it may be an improvement in virtual projection technology, or at most pseudo-virtual reality!"
"As for what superpowers?" He laughed: "I have worked in the Federal Empire Defense Military Science and Technology Committee for decades, and I have never heard of it!"
"Everyone must believe in science!" Director Zhang said meaningfully.
Lingpingan listened and was also convinced.
Today on the Internet, many people will do anything to gain attention.
In the past few years, some unscrupulous film producers have been hyping up the "Ghost Record", using ghosts as a cover to trick people into entering the cinema.
Lingpingan bought the ticket excitedly, but ended up entering the cinema and almost fell asleep.
That's it?
Brother, you might as well watch an old ghost movie!
Since then, Lingpingan has become wary of all kinds of mythical things on the Internet.
Who knows, is the person on the other end of the cable describing ghosts, demons, and gods trying to get the money in your pocket, or is he trying to use the heat to do something ulterior?
While listening to the comments, a piece of news suddenly came on the TV.
"Temporary news report: From this station: The Federal Imperial Economic Crime Investigation Bureau announced today that it has uncovered a major insider trading case!"
"The Wang family, which controls Jiyang Development Group, was found guilty of more than ten felonies including falsifying data, manipulating stock prices, and tax evasion for many years!"
"Currently, the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau has arrested and summoned hundreds of key figures suspected of this case!"
On the TV screen, a familiar picture to Lingpingan appeared.
It was exactly the scene he saw downstairs.
Several young people were escorted by the police into the police car.
"It turns out they are the yamen of Jiyang Development Group!" Lingpingan was relieved.
"I never thought that such a big group would do such a thing!" He shook his head.
Jiyang Development Group is one of the top 500 listed companies in the Federal Empire.
It is said that its assets are spread all over the country, and it has even participated extensively in the industrial layout of the world.
In Jiangcheng City, there is a landmark building: Jiyang Building, which is the property of this group.
Unexpectedly, such a giant would actually engage in insider trading and even evade taxes in private.
Lingpingan stood up and walked over to open the door.
Is it that little girl from Silla, her name seems to be Yin Mingxiu?
"Miss Yin..." Lingpingan looked at her: "Please come in!"
Yin Mingxiu seemed a little nervous. Her little hands were holding on to her skirt, a bit like a friend who had done something wrong when she was a child and was afraid of being discovered by her parents.
"What happened?" Lingpingan couldn't help but ask.
……………………
"Miss Chiba, you should know about Hagoromo Kitsune, right?" Nijo Toyasu asked.
Michiko Chiba nodded.
Hagoromo Fox, of course she knows.
She is a victim of the Hagoromo Fox Rebellion.
She heard from her adoptive parents that they found her in the ruins of Osaka.
A baby girl wrapped in white swaddling clothes.
The Chiba couple could not have children, so they adopted her and raised her as a daughter. Finally, they brought her to this land as a refugee and were resettled in Jiangcheng City.
"Then do you know..." Nijo Toyasu asked: "Why did the Hagoromo Fox start the Hyakki Night Parade in the Hanshin area?"
“What was the purpose of what He did?”
Michiko Chiba asked stupidly: "What is his purpose?"
Nijo Toyasu said: "He wants to awaken the real king of demons!"
He took a deep breath and said with some fear: "The great god of Fengguo!"
"Your Highness Taige!"
Even if it is an enemy, and it is an enemy that may overthrow Fuso.
Nijo Takayasu could not help but use honorifics.
"Your Highness Taikaku?!" Chiba Michiko didn't understand: "Toyokuni Daimyojin? Who is that?"
