The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 265: Kujo Sara's Surprise Inspection

Looking at the familiar face under the hood, the two guards looked at each other and swallowed deeply. Oh my god, why did General Kujo Sara come in person? Damn, is this a secret visit? Fortunately, if they had accepted the bag of Mora just now, they would have been directly punished by military law.

Thinking of this, the two guards looked at Ruo Jin with a bit of resentment in their eyes. What was going on? My buddy put you in his pocket, and you kicked me into the ditch, how could you be so deceiving.

"Don't report my presence here. Just continue to stand guard here."

In order to see the truest side of the prison rather than those false appearances, Kujo Sara asked the two guards not to make any noise. Upon hearing Kujo Sara's order, the two guards answered without thinking.

"Yes, General Kujo!"

Looking at the two loyal warriors in front of him, Kujo Sara said nothing more and took Ruojin and others into the prison. The prison of Tenryo Bugyo was extremely complicated when it was built to prevent anyone from escaping. Without an acquaintance to lead the way, Kujo Sara was worried that Ruojin and others would get lost in the prison.

After watching Kujo Sara and his companions enter the prison, the two samurai who were in charge of guarding the prison gate breathed a sigh of relief. The name Kujo Sara brought an extraordinary amount of pressure to the shogunate soldiers. When facing Kujo Sara, even though they were the elites among the shogunate soldiers, they still felt very nervous.

"Brother, why do you think General Kujo suddenly came to the prison? The battle with the resistance army is going on at the front line right now. It doesn't make sense for General Kujo to suddenly return to Inazuma Castle."

"You ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, we won't be the ones who suffer in the end. We just need to do our job well and stand guard. Why think so much?"

The words of this guard caused the other guard to nod frequently. No matter what General Kujo came for, they just had to complete their job well, and the rest was not something they should worry about.

Inside the prison, the staff who had been working there for some time saw a man in black and several unfamiliar faces swaggering in from the entrance. They were a little confused, but they soon returned to normal.

After sighing that the two guards also started to collect Mora, the staff members started to work again. After all, they were not the ones who let the people in, and if anything happened, it would be the fault of the guards at the door. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, these staff members didn't want to bother with Ruojin and his companions at all. This kind of non-concerned attitude made it so that no one stepped forward to stop Ruojin and his companions as they walked along the way.

As the group went deeper, Kujo Sara's face became darker and darker under his hood. Along the way, they met dozens of staff members, if not hundreds, but these people seemed to be blind and no one came forward to question them.

With this kind of work attitude, Kujo Sara felt that even if someone escaped from prison, the staff inside the prison would not find out. It was a pity that she had formulated so many plans for the prison to resist external difficulties. Now the difficulties from outside can't get in, and the inside has started to rot, right?

The more Kujo Sara thought about it, the angrier she became. In her opinion, these people were simply betraying the general's trust. The prison was such an important place, and now the staff inside had become like this. Coupled with the rumors she had heard before, the chill in Kujo Sara's heart was about to overflow.

"Sara, the prison is so big, why don't we find someone to ask where Master Zhengsheng is being held."

After following Kujo Sara for a long time, Xiao Gong, who had not seen Master Zhengsheng yet, pulled Kujo Sara's clothes and whispered a reminder to Kujo Sara. Hearing this, Kujo Sara shook her head. It would be better for them not to have too much contact with the staff in the prison. Otherwise, if their identities were exposed, it would be difficult to achieve the effect of surprise inspection. Moreover, she had just roughly looked at the surrounding cells. Since Master Zhengsheng was not found in these cells, Kujo Sara could only think of that one place.

"Come with me. All the unconvicted prisoners will be detained in the interrogation room. You should have some healing medicines with you. We may need them later."

Thinking of some rumors he had heard before, Kujo Sara's face looked a little ugly. Kujo Sara had heard about torture in prison more than once, but before he saw it with his own eyes, Kujo Sara still had some doubts about it.

"Master Zhengsheng was injured? But he didn't have any injuries when he was captured."

Kujo Sara's words made Xiao Gong tilt his head in confusion. Could it be that Master Zhengsheng had a conflict with the criminals in the prison? That shouldn't be the case. How could Master Zhengsheng, such a good person, have a conflict with others?

"No, it was a lynching."

Unlike the simple-minded Xiao Gong, when Kujo Sara talked about the healing medicine, Ying had already guessed why Master Masamori was injured. When she heard the word "private punishment", Xiao Gong was stunned. This girl who was not well-versed in the world and did not know much about the dark side of Inazuma had never thought that someone would resort to private punishment.

"Isn't lynching illegal? Why do some people still use it?"

"Because of the benefits. I saw a piece of information from Linghua before. If you catch a craftsman who helped others to forge the Eye of God, you can be promoted two levels and get a large amount of Mora."

"Under such a great temptation, let alone lynching, it is not impossible for comrades to kill each other outside."

Ying glanced at Xiao Gong and said frankly, she really didn't want this simple-minded Xiao Gong to be exposed to the dark side of the world. But instead of letting her see what Master Zhengsheng looked like, it would be better to tell her about it first so that she could be mentally prepared.

After hearing Ying's explanation, Xiao Gong looked at Kujo Sara who was hiding under a black robe with inquiring eyes. This young girl who was not very worldly-wise could not believe what Ying said. In her opinion, something like Mora was enough to be spent, so why do such a thing.

"Part of the reason for my surprise inspection this time is to verify this matter. Miss Xiao Gong, if you find it unacceptable, you can leave here, and I will send the person you want to rescue away."

Kujo Sara's words were like a sledgehammer hitting Xiao Gong's heart. After a brief hesitation, Xiao Gong bit her lip and chose to continue following Kujo Sara. Just as Kujo Sara had thought before, she would rather confirm it with her own eyes than listen to other people's descriptions.
