Original God, but the real world

Chapter 26-Good People and Confessions Under Torture

Jiang Qing encountered a small trouble.

To be more precise, it is an opportunity, and opportunities always come with troubles.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, Mr. Jiang Qing."

Early in the morning, Qin personally waited at the door and knocked on Jiang Qing's room.

Jiang Qing was flattered.

This didn't look like a good thing at first glance - the boss of Mond personally came to visit an ordinary businessman like him. Jiang Qing found it hard to think that this was a good thing.

"No, if the acting leader is willing to entrust me with something, it would be my honor."

That’s what I thought, but Jiang Qing didn’t say it that way.

"This means that the Knights have begun to trust me." Jiang Qing smiled sincerely, "This is a good thing."

He didn't talk about cooperation either. After all, given his status, it seemed a bit ridiculous to talk about cooperation with the Knights Templar, a behemoth that ruled Mondstadt.

Jiang Qing came here to rely on Mond's protection and seek further development.

Dependence and cooperation are two different things, and he has always been able to keep a correct attitude in this regard.

Qin's eyes moved slightly, "The Knights have also discussed your appointment."

Even though there was a huge gap in status between Jiang Qing and Qin, her words were not harsh.

But Jiang Qing just listened.

The Knights discussed him? There was no need for that.

"Have you heard about the Fatui?" Qin's face was filled with sadness.

"The Fatui..." Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "Well, if Captain Qin doesn't mind, how about you come in and discuss it?"

Anyway, it's not a good idea to talk about these things while blocking the door.

"Thank you for bothering me." Qin agreed without hesitation.

This is her territory, and if Jiang Qing dares to invite her, she will not refuse.

"The Fatui are a violent organization in the winter, and the Lady once purchased the right to use the Goethe Hotel for an unknown period of time." Jean gave a brief description, "They have been stationed in Mondstadt for a long time."

This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Qing was able to convince Qin at that time.

There are eleven executive officer positions in the Fatui, and the lady is the eighth executive officer.

A person like this sits in the Goethe Hotel every day doing nothing. Anyone who comes here will be wary and cautious.

An executive officer came here just to sit in the hotel and enjoy the scenery?
"I've also heard of the reputation of the Fatui." Jiang Qing remained calm, "They are directly affiliated with the [Winter Palace] and are only responsible to the Ice Queen."

The biggest difference between the Fatui and the Knights of Favonius is not in their members, but in their boss.

The Fatui are directly under the Queen's Winter Palace, which means they are the sword in the hands of the Ice Queen.

The Queen used the national strength of a country to support this violent organization. In addition, She personally endowed the other party with the authority of gods, allowing the executive officers to obtain power second only to the level of demon gods.

The Knights did not have this opportunity.

Without a god behind them, it is impossible for them to put the interests of the Knights Templar above those of Mondstadt.

The most critical issue is the issue of high-end combat power.

There is no difference between having gods or not in Mondstadt. Barbatos has disappeared for many years, and to put it bluntly, he is almost dead.

Since the day the Demon War ended, Barbatos has only appeared twice in two thousand years.

There is basically no record of Him taking action personally.

How could such a god bestow divine favor on the Knights of Favonius?
Under the premise that the gods will not start a war, the lady might be able to drag half of Mondra into the battlefield by herself.

Her power is completely at the supernormal level and is not at all human level.

Many records flashed through his mind, but Jiang Qing's expression remained calm: "I have also heard of the reputation of the Fatui in Inazuma."

"It is said that they have a deal with the Three Magistrates... Unfortunately, with my status, I am unable to see the details of the deal."

Even if he could, Jiang Qing would not do such a thing.

Qin didn't care much.

No matter what, the Inazuma internal affairs that occurred during the isolation order were too far away for Mondstadt and not worth wasting time on.

"I understand what the Acting Captain means. How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside our bed?" Jiang Qing could certainly understand. "The Fatui's executive officers will not stay in Mondstadt for no reason. They are too dangerous."

In terms of actual destructive power, Rosaline might be at the missile level.

No one could tolerate having such a huge Buddha sleeping next to them.

"I don't think the lady will take action inside Mondstadt." Qin took a deep breath, "But there is one thing I think Mr. Jiang Qing is right about."

Her eyes flickered: "I can't rely on others for Mond's safety."

The Grand Master enjoys the highest power in Mondstadt and therefore must bear the greatest responsibility.

Qin's idea is not complicated, but it is precious.

The unity of power and obligation should be the minimum requirement, but Jiang Qing just crawled out of Inazuma not long ago. For a while, he even wondered if there was something wrong with his cognition - how could someone in Inazuma be able to change the law for Mora? Don’t these damn thieves know how to restrain themselves?
Later, Jiang Qing also understood what this group of people were thinking.

Inazuma's master is General Raiden, a god.

He formed the shogunate and selected the three major families with outstanding military achievements at the beginning of the shogunate to become the three main families of the shogunate. Their family heads were called the Three Buggyo, and the Three Buggyosho were established with the three major families as the core.

When the Three Bugyo Offices were first established, their power was fought for.

But later General Lei Dian turned to pursue eternity, and his choice of eternity was stability and immutability.

That is to say, there is basically no hope for the power struggle in the later period, because the shogun hopes that the three major families of today will remain the three magistrates in the future, the descendants of the samurai will still be samurai, and the farmers will only be responsible for farming.

Everyone should only do what they are supposed to do in their given role.

This is... unchanging.

The three major families of this period had their power innate, not acquired.

So from this point on, rights and obligations are no longer the same.

They enjoy power without having to bear any obligations, because they obtain power as easily and simply as breathing for ordinary people, without going through any tests.

Looking back at Mond's history, the Lawrence family was also like this.

But the difference is that Lawrence started his activities while the God of Wind was asleep, so Vanessa was able to overthrow them.

But Inazuma can’t do that.

General Raiden is the shogunate's greatest confidence.

Objectively speaking, this is actually the case with the current piano.

Gunhild has gone through two changes but has always stood in the right position.

When Mondstadt was first founded, Gunhild's ancestor placed a crown on the newborn wind god.

When Vanessa held high the flag of freedom, Gunhild chose her and knocked Lawrence down.

Gunhild's position is too high.

In the city of freedom, they can also pass on power.

But with the same inheritance of power, Qin put responsibility above power.

Those bastards Inazuma only know how to enjoy themselves.

Jiang Qing's eyes were bright.

Sooner or later, he would send all three officials down.

In Ying's story line, she is not interested in Inazuma's private affairs, and all she wants is to get an answer from the gods.

The three practices were to raise them high and then put them down gently, at almost no cost.

I have never seen anyone only execute the main culprit in such a big incident, nor have I seen the Mond people just kill the head of Lawrence's family and then let Lawrence go.

If Eula knew this, she would probably be so angry that she would cry.

But if this opportunity is in his hands... every single one of them will be taken, and no one can escape!
[Mr. Jiang seems to be thinking about something else? ]

Qin blinked and didn't urge Jiang Qing.

She planned to give Jiang Qing some power as a gift for his remarks when they first met.

Of course, this power is also a consideration.

If he performs better, he can be given more trust.

If not, that's it.

"Sorry." Jiang Qing came back to his senses and used the spirit of craftsmanship first, "I suddenly thought of something about Inazuma. I'm sorry."

Although it was unclear why Jiang Qing thought of Inazuma while chatting, Qin still forgave this insignificant offense.

"That's fine." Qin nodded. "I don't know what happened to you in Inazuma, so I naturally have no right to be dissatisfied with it."

"Then let's get back to the topic." Jiang Qing also took the opportunity to reveal it.

"Your concerns are normal." He said seriously, "With Madam's status, if she shows up, her purpose won't be simple."

This is not discrimination or prejudice, this is just the nature of the fools.

"What's more, she has booked the Goethe Hotel and looks like she plans to stay there permanently."

Qin nodded slightly.

That's the attitude.

"But in addition to being the Fatui's executive officer, the Lady is also the ambassador sent by Winter to Mondstadt. Without actual evidence, we must respect Winter and cannot easily turn against the Lady."

Jiang Qing consciously became us.

He continued, "Military power is the backbone of diplomacy. Objectively speaking, Mondstadt cannot defeat Solstice, and the current expedition of the Grand Master has greatly weakened Mondstadt's military strength."

"If you can't beat them, you can only reason with them."

"With the Wind Dragon outside and the Fatui inside, Mondstadt's safety is in jeopardy."

The family does not speak two languages.

If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. There's no point in being stubborn.

Qin didn't hesitate and admitted it straightforwardly.

"The situation in Mondstadt is indeed not optimistic." Qin was a little helpless. "Lisa has gone with Ying to deal with the matter at the Temple of the Four Winds. If everything goes well, perhaps the problems of the leyline disorder and the monster riot can be solved."

But it's just a bonus.

It’s like compared to Ying, Jiang Qing and Youla are just extras.

The key to the problem is the mad Tevarin. The riots of these monsters in the wild can only cause trouble, and if Tevarin goes crazy, he can raze Mondstadt to the ground.

Kaia also discovered something new, and it was said that the Cult of the Abyss had also gotten involved.

Qin didn't say these words to Jiang Qing.

This is not a lack of trust, but a desire not to add burden to Jiang Qing.

The key to solving the problem has changed. The Wind Dragon and the Abyss Cult can only be solved with violence.

In this kind of issue, Jiang Qing's role is very small.

Qin also didn't want Jiang Qing to worry about such things.

The reason is very simple.

The enemy is here, and if you can defeat it, the problem is solved.

Not being able to defeat... Not being able to defeat is always a problem.

The most direct problem, the most difficult difficulty.

Jiang Qing is also very sensible, he doesn't even ask questions.

"Then we have to deal with the Fatui."

How should I describe this test...it was completely expected.

Mond has these two problems. One is that Jiang Qing has no way to deal with it. If Qin was a normal person, she could only ask about the Fatui.

Jiang Qing had expected this: "Dealing with the Fatui is a bit troublesome."

"The Lady is the diplomatic ambassador sent by Winter to Mondstadt, and her Fatui are the diplomatic mission accompanying the ambassador."

Even dogs wouldn't believe this, but even if they don't believe it, at least there is no problem on the surface.

Mondstadt also has diplomatic ambassadors in Winter Solstice, and no one has ever found any reason to target them.

In matters like this, we still need to be reasonable.

"Because it is a formal and legal diplomatic mission, Mond cannot refuse them entry." Qin did not comment, "In fact, we are all sure that they have bad intentions."

So the problem becomes much simpler.

The other party has a legal identity and illegal purpose, and because of the support of Solstice, Mond cannot simply take action.

"Can we..." Jiang Qing paused, "Well, can we just put the blame on the other party?"

Nor can he claim to be a role model of morality in this regard.

In fact, Jiang Qing’s first idea was to torture him into confessing and directly accuse the Fatui.

There is nothing difficult about this job.

In Mondstadt's territory, the Fatui can never be excused for anything they have done.

Jiang Qing lowered his voice and said, "The Kanjo Bugyo did almost the same thing."

"The samurai under them treated foreign merchants in a simple and rough way. They said, 'I suspect you have a problem' and then took you to jail, and then you really have a problem."

The key is not whether you have a problem or not, but whether I think you have a problem.

Jiang Qing's expression was serious: "When suspicion arises, the crime is already established."

He didn't know if it was correct to say this to Qin. After all, his understanding of Qin was only from the game.

But you always have to give it a try.

If I don't take the initiative, I can only wait for Ying to steal the Sky Harp and try to counterattack passively.

"The only trouble with doing this is that we have to consider Zhidong's reaction," Jiang Qing explained the pros and cons. "Inazuma dared to do this because they have locked down the country."

The shogunate dared to be corrupt, not only because of the power granted by heaven, but also because of the isolation order.

The country is locked down, so we will suppress you if you want.

If you have the guts, why don't you cross the sea and bear the thunderstorm to kill me under the watchful eyes of General Thunder? !
The Seven Gods would not take action for such a thing, so even if the Shogunate were to fight six alone, they would still be very brave.

Anyway, they won't cooperate with others in the future. They are the masters of their own territory. Who else do they need to give face to?

"Mond can do the same. Fatui cannot replace Solstice. Solstice still needs Mond."

"Although Farga is on an expedition, the elite knights have not been lost."

Jiang Qing's voice was calm, "More importantly, we know that [Madam] has ill intentions, so there's really no need to give her a chance."

A good person can't always wait until someone puts a knife to their neck before considering taking action, right?
