"..."

"Really? It's Kaguya."

Seeing his eldest son's expression of not wanting to speak, Shigong Yan'an slowly understood.

The only person who could make that old madman Sanqianyuandi take such ruthless action was his granddaughter Sanqianyuan Nagi.

Given her age, Sanzenin Nagi can only have contact with Kaguya, so the answer is obvious.

As for Huang Guang's attack on the Sanqianyuan family, Shigong Yan'an scoffed at it.

He didn't even dare to attack the granddaughter of the Three Thousand Court Emperor, let alone his eldest son.

"Huang Guang, it seems you lost to Kaguya."

"..."

Sigong Huangguang lowered his head helplessly as he looked at his seriously ill father.

He is the strongest candidate for the heir to the Shinomiya family. He can control all situations, even Kaguya's freedom.

But this time Kaguya taught him a lesson: after jumping out of the chessboard, a bigger predator could easily stomp him to death.

All the means used in the past were useless at this moment.

When the Shinomiya family was in chaos, the Shijo family also began to boil over.

"What happened this time?"

No one knows the reason behind it.

Sigong Huangguang also investigated, but his investigation resulted in no answer.

The name of the Three Thousand Court Emperor did not appear publicly.

It all seemed as if a major problem had occurred within the Fourth Palace, which was then sanctioned by the entire political and business circles.

"I don't know. We don't know the specific situation yet. All we know now is that some external forces are combining forces in the political and business circles to crush the Shinomiya family."

“It’s still unclear who did it.”

Most of the members of the Shijo family are here.

What they care about at the moment is who attacked the Shinomiya family and whether they should take action.

"Father, should we take action as well?"

Shijo Tei, the heir of the Shijo family, possesses a powerful mind and corresponding mature means.

Shijo Tei, who had begun to gradually accept the family's work, also took over the plan of "attacking Shinomiya".

"No."

Four-point five is directly rejected.

"The suppression the Shinomiya family is facing from the political and business sectors right now is very sudden and there is absolutely no warning at all. Even the Shinomiya family seems to be on the defensive right now."

"But look at you now, are the others making any moves?"

"Have the Hayasakas made a move? They're more eager to do it than we are."

"It's not that no one wants to move now, but no one dares to move."

The entire water surface is calm now, but the bottom is already turbulent.

The problems of the Shinomiya family broke out all of a sudden without any warning signs, which shows how powerful the person behind the attack is.

Now everyone knows that Shinomiya is in a very critical moment, but that is only on the surface.

Whether the Fourth Palace is truly in crisis in the end does not depend on any one person, but on the person who messed up the Fourth Palace.

No one would attack Shinomiya because they were not aware of the situation.

Everyone is waiting for the final result.

"Emperor, you are a smart person. You need to know what patience is."

"...Yes, father."

After listening to his father's teachings, Shijo Emperor finally suppressed his thoughts.

Not only did the Shijo family hold a small gathering, but even the Suzuki family, which was almost as large as the Shinomiya family, held a small gathering.

"Hubby, who do you think was responsible for the attack in Shigong?"

"only one person."

Suzuki Shiro's glasses flashed, and he could only think of one person.

"Three Thousand Court Emperors."

"!?"

When she heard this name, Suzuki Tomoko was stunned for a moment.

"Sanqianyuan...hasn't that old man already retired?"

"Retreat behind the scenes? The Three Thousand Court Emperor's retreat behind the scenes just means he won't jump out directly from behind. But if there is a reason, that's another matter."

"Any reason?"

Suzuki Tomoko looked at Shirou in confusion.

"That old man still has a reason to attack Shigong? Does Shigong dare to provoke Sanqianyuan?"

"That won't happen."

Shinomiya provoked Sanzenin? The Shinomiya family would not do such a thing.

Shiro Suzuki then took out a photo, which showed a long black car parked at the door of Shinomiya's house.

"Pengzi, guess who's sitting inside?"

"...Could it be someone from the Sanqianyuan family?"

"The granddaughter of Emperor Sanzenin, Sanzenin Nagi, and the eldest daughter of the Saginomiya family, the mysterious shrine maiden Saginomiya Isumi."

Chapter 22 Hidden Interests

"I know the granddaughter of the Sanqianyuan Emperor, but the other Luzhigong...is her family very mysterious?"

"Yeah, very mysterious."

Shiro Suzuki is very sure of this, and he himself has obtained corresponding evidence.

"The Saginomiya family is a clan of shrine maidens. In the past, the main occupation of the family was the work of a shrine maiden, which, to put it bluntly, was the work of exorcising demons."

"Shi Lang, are you sure your mind is normal?"

"This is just my guess based on a lot of evidence. Don't treat me like an idiot and blindly believe in the existence of such things."

Tomoko's reaction was normal. In fact, he himself felt confused when he deduced this result.

But the more I investigated in that direction, the more mysterious the Heron Palace seemed to me.

"According to my investigation, the Self-Defense Forces often come to Saginomiya for various matters."

"The Self-Defense Forces...will they contact Saginomiya if they have any problems?"

Tomoko Suzuki really didn't understand what was going on.

She tried hard to recall the situation of Luzhi Palace. The Luzhi Palace she knew was a family that ran some food, wine, beverages and tea.

The business of the Saginomiya family alone should not attract the attention of the Self-Defense Forces.

"Not just the Self-Defense Forces, but also the two at the top, the famous priests, the Onmyoji, and the public security of the island nation."

"In addition, some political leaders often visit the Lu Palace and ask for Lu Palace's help in solving some problems."

"If it's not the business run by Lu Zhigong itself that helps those people, then it's Lu Zhigong's hidden identity that those people are concerned about."

“…This sounds weird.”

Listening to Shiro's explanation, Suzuki Tomoko also felt something strange.

The scale of Saginomiya's industries in the island country is not small, but it is not enough to help many politicians.

"But, is that the reason for that?"

"Shi Lang, are you being a little arbitrary this time?"

"Do not."

Shiro Suzuki shook his head slightly. He was never arbitrary in looking at things.

"In fact, there is a lot of evidence proving that Lu Zhigong is extraordinary."

"Those political leaders attach great importance to him. Even those famous priests have to treat Lu Zhigong with respect."

"And according to my research, the industries controlled by Saginomiya account for 50% of the entire island nation."

"No one will compete with Lu Zhigong for that 50%, as if that part was deliberately reserved for Lu Zhigong."

As a businessman, he has a very detached sense in terms of business, otherwise he would not have been able to elevate the Suzuki family to its current level in the more than ten years since he took over the responsibility of being the helmsman of the Suzuki family.

Therefore, he was even more certain that the property of Saginomiya was granted by the island nation.
