"The Commissioner of the Imperial Household has always been loyal to the Shogun, managing the business and finances for Inazuma, and has never betrayed the country!"

The Kamisato siblings also knelt on the ground.

"The magistrate has always performed the duties of a priest and has never had any thoughts of treason. I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"

As the head of the family, Ayato Kamisato did not wail, but spoke very seriously.

"So, you all believe you haven't committed treason?"

"No, Your Majesty!"

"Please investigate, Your Majesty."

"Since you all believe you are innocent, then let me explain one by one."

Li Yue slowly walked up to the head of the Hiiragi family.

"Shinsuke Hiiragi, the head of the Hiiragi family, is in charge of the Kansei Magistrate. For many years, he has been responsible for Inazuma's diplomacy, finances, and commerce. However, for his own selfish desires, he colluded with the Shifugu Fojin Clan to cheat the Raiden Prize and tricked the Raiden General into issuing a national isolation decree, severing commercial ties with other countries. Subsequently, in his official capacity as Kansei Magistrate, he monopolized commerce, exploited merchants, and caused them to live a hard life."

"Because of your ideas, even the entire Inazuma people, who rely on foreign trade for their livelihood, have had to live a hard life!"

"this!?"

The head of the Hiiragi family stared wide-eyed in shock. Why? Why did this matter come to light?

Li Yue bypassed the head of the Hiiragi family and came to the head of the Kujo family.

"Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family, led the Tenryo Administration, but for his own benefit, he agreed to a deal with the Shifu Fojinshu. Using eternity as an excuse, he tricked Raiden Shogun into issuing the Seclusion Edict, and then used the Seclusion Edict to seek profit. You and the Fojinshu conducted experiments on the Evil Eye, and the Seclusion Edict that you issued led to the emergence of the rebel army, which resulted in the needless deaths of the shogunate's soldiers on the battlefield."

"Not only that, you also ordered the Tenryo Observatory to cover up the truth. The villagers on Hachiyū Island who were infected with the disease needed treatment, but you sank all the villagers to the bottom of the sea and killed them. The Mikage furnace at Kannazuka exploded due to instability, but you covered up the truth and did not solve the problem, causing the crisis there to become more and more serious, and there was a risk of explosion at any time."

"You have killed far too many people!"

The head of the Kujo family was also stunned. Just like the previous head of the Hiiragi family, he never expected that the new Raijin would know these things!

Li Yue walked past him toward the Shenli siblings.

"Kamisato Ayato, head of the Kamisato family, is the head of the Shaka magistrate and commands the Shuububan under his command. He was originally supposed to serve the Raiden General, but after discovering the problems of the Tenryo magistrate and the Kansei magistrate, he did not want to solve them internally, but instead wanted to use external forces to his advantage."

Don't say the documents couldn't be submitted. Does the head of the Shefeng clan among the three major magistrates not have a way to meet General Leidian? You should know that the three major magistrates are completely equal in rank, only differing in the size of their power, there is no such thing as superior and subordinate.

Is this all the strategist Ayato Kamisato is capable of? Is he as wise as the strategist of Umijima Island?

Li Yue squatted down and looked at the Shenli siblings.

"I've succeeded in persuading General Thunder, so what do you all think now?"

"By the way, are you happy with the communication with the rebels?"

The Kamisato siblings fell silent.

Li Yue stood up, walked back to her original position, and spread her arms to the head of the Three Favored Ones.

"The three chief ministers are all extremely loyal subjects! Loyal subjects that are laughable!"

"Where is the evidence, Your Majesty?!"

The head of the Kujo family couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

"Your Majesty, you accuse us of treason, but do you have any evidence?"

"Even if it were you, you would need evidence to convict us..."

"Shadow, please make him shut up."

boom--

Purple lightning descended from the sky and struck the head of the Kujo family directly, instantly turning him into a charred mess.

"Shadow, I just wanted him to shut up, I wasn't going to kill him."

Li Yue looked helpless and said to Ying.

"what?"

Ying paused for a moment.

"Isn't this a ruling?"

It was Lei Yingdian who killed the head of the Kujo family. Last night, after hearing Zhen's words, she wanted to go out and kill all these people. She unconditionally believed Zhen's words. What evidence? Zhen's words were the evidence! Just now, Li Yue spoke, and she directly silenced the head of the Kujo family forever.

But this time it had a very good effect.

"They actually killed him outright!"

The three magistrates present panicked instantly. The Raiden General killed the head of the Kujo family without asking for evidence, which meant he had no intention of giving them a chance!

"General, spare my life! I'll tell you everything!"

Fearing that the slapstick movie would directly affect their subordinates, the group immediately began to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Before the three officials could even speak, their subordinates betrayed them.

"No need to rush, just do them one at a time."

Li Yue smiled as he looked at the subordinates of the Three Commissioners and made them tell him what they knew. Soon, all the scandals within the Kan Ding Commissioner and the Tian Ling Commissioner were exposed.

To Li Yue's surprise, none of the magistrate's men spoke up. The final members were absolutely loyal to the Kamisato family; they were even willing to die for them. Therefore, they had no intention of speaking in the face of Raijin's death penalty.

"How to do it?"

Lei Yingdian walked up to Li Yue and asked her about the plan to deal with the three scapegoats.

“Kill all the masterminds, because too many Inatsuma people have died because of them. They have no value in living. Confiscate their family property, and demote the remaining family members who did not participate to commoners. They are no longer qualified to lead the Three Commissioners.”

Li Yue was straightforward and blunt. In the game, the punishment for the Heavenly Commander and the Kan Ding Commander was extremely lenient, only requiring the two family heads to be imprisoned. Moreover, the two commanders were still in the hands of their families, except that one was a daughter and the other a son, who had basically inherited the family business. It was simply outrageous, and Li Yue naturally could not allow such a thing to happen.

"Wait, are we going to kill the magistrate too?"

Yae no Miko rushed over anxiously, wanting to protect the Kamisato siblings.

"The crimes committed by the magistrate constitute treason. To the Raiden Shogun, they are traitors. They have the ability to collude with the rebels, but instead of helping the shogunate to deal with the rebels as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of the soldiers, they call it a rebellion against the Shogun's Eye-Killing Order. This is undoubtedly treason."

"But the rebels are also Inatsuma people, so this should be considered internal, not treason."

Yae no Miko still wanted to argue.

Li Yue tilted her head.

"Is that so? Do the people of Umijima really consider themselves Inatsuma people?"

At this moment, Yae no Miko fell silent.

170. The United Kingdom of Liyue and the Inazuma Islands is established!

Is Umijima considered part of Inatsuma?

This is an interesting question, because Thor considers them Inatsumi people, but Umijima doesn't consider themselves Inatsumi people.

Li Yue is not a demon god, so he doesn't have any concept of demon gods loving people. He only arranges a stable environment from a macro perspective, and then lets them create their own environment.

The same applies to Liyue, where the Seven Stars still govern. However, to prevent the Seven Stars from going berserk, Li Yue placed a Damocles' sword, like the Seven Immortals, on their heads and even appointed Zhong Li as the Grand Commander.

Then, Li Yue can just give up and quit.

Please, how could I possibly govern a country? Like Barbatos, I'll stay behind the scenes, slack off, and only step in to cover for you when it matters. Do you really expect me to farm, tech up, develop industry, and lead humanity into space in Teyvat?

The same applies to Inatsuma. Umijima is an unstable factor for Inatsuma because the people of Umijima do not consider themselves Inatsuma people at all, and they still yearn for the great serpent that led them to the surface in their dreams.

However, thanks to Yae's strong protection, the Kamisato siblings were not sentenced to death like the other two magistrates, but the days when the Kamisato family ruled as magistrates were naturally gone forever.

They were stripped of their status as rulers of the shrine and demoted from the renowned Kamisato family of Inazuma to commoners.

Princess Egret, the freedom you longed for, I have given you!

The judgment issued by Li Yue was extremely cruel to the Three Commissioners. The once high and mighty Three Commissioners family collapsed instantly, and their fates were all more tragic than the last.

However, for the common people of Inazuma, the collapse of these three commissioners excited them all.

Especially the crimes of the Tenryō-bō and Kanshō-bō, after they were read out, the Inazuma-no-man wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear them to pieces and eat them!

Therefore, the three chief ministers were taken away in one fell swoop, and those sentenced to death were executed on the spot without any delay. What about execution after the autumn harvest? I will carry it out immediately!

The platform in front of the Thousand-Handed Hundred-Eyed Statue was originally used to carry out the Eye Hunting Order ceremony, but now it can be used for beheadings and public display without any problem.

As Inazuma watched these people being executed, everyone clapped and cheered. Amid Inazuma's cheers, Yae no Miko couldn't help but walk up to Li Yue and ask him a question.

"Although these people deserved their fate, how will the Inazuma shogunate function after they all die?"

As Yae no Miko said, with the downfall of the three commissioners, the operation of Inazuma's official institutions became a problem.

The Three Commissioners are a large organization, not just the three major families. There are many smaller families under the three major families. This is a unique family-based rule in Inazuma. In Liyue and the Seven Stars, at least the position is changed. In Inazuma, the Three Commissioners are different. Here, it is a direct succession system. The son of a councilor is still a councilor!

These families were all wiped out by Li Yue in one fell swoop, which made it impossible for the Three Commissioners to operate.

This is why Yae no Miko wanted to protect people.

"In your opinion, Inazuma can't function without them?"

“That’s right. The Three Commissioners are very complex and large. Without them, Inazuma’s operations would be in great trouble.”

"How much trouble could it cause? Would it lead to the destruction of a country?"

"Um... not really, but it could be very chaotic."

"So how did Inazuma manage when the country was first established?"

Li Yue's question stunned Yae no Miko.

Little did she know, she was only a few hundred years old, and she wasn't even born when Inazuma was founded!

“At that time, the three major families of the Three Commissioners were the first to follow my sister and me, and that’s how they became the Three Commissioners we know today.”

The shadow provided the answer.

"Yes, that's how the original three magistrates were born. Now that these three families have been abolished, Inazuma can at most just return to its original state. Without these three families, can't new three families emerge?"

Yae no Miko was speechless.

To think they could let these people go just to avoid temporary chaos is a pipe dream. Li Yue has no intention of giving them any chance! The purge must be thorough. If you won't do the Three Eunuchs' job, plenty of others will!

Oh no, I should say that Inazuma doesn't lack these three major families! Even if you three families are gone, there are still other three major families!

"Moreover, I have already decided who will succeed the three major families in managing the Three Commissioners."

"Ok?"

Yae looked at Li Yue with a completely bewildered expression.
