Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 119

As mentioned earlier, she never expected to meet Kyosuke Kousaka in this way.

"...Miss, are you really going to meet this official?"

"How terrifying, he killed someone."

"Yes, yes! That was terrifying!"

The maids chattered amongst themselves.

Fujishikibu shook his head slightly, and everyone else slowly shut their mouths.

"You shouldn't say that. He just saved you. Also, don't let this get out."

"……Yes."

The maids looked at each other, but immediately nodded.

Although the young lady is easy to talk to, it doesn't mean she's really easy to talk to...

Day 122 of crossing

I ate vegetarian food yesterday.

After rubbing his temples, Kyosuke Kousaka felt much calmer, both physically and mentally.

He seemed to regard wine and women as nothing more than fleeting clouds.

At Chenshi (7-9 AM), he went to the office of the Inspectorate of Illegal Activities.

He acted as a whistleblower while posing as an ordinary nobleman.

They said they had discovered several thief corpses and ordered a group of people to quickly dispose of them.

"grown ups……"

"Knowing I'm an adult, why don't you do as I say?"

Kyosuke Kosaka gave a friendly smile to one of the students who came over with a forced smile.

A number of fire chiefs and clients were gathered around, all of them smiling apologetically.

News of Kanpaku's death has spread.

The group immediately understood the wind direction.

"Nobody wants to do the dirty work."

"You're short of money, aren't you?"

Kousaka Kyosuke still smiled.

By the way.

The inspector also had to deal with matters concerning corpses in Kyoto.

In general, non-human personnel are hired to clean up.

Previously, due to the issue of fees, it was almost always done by having people do the work as volunteers.

Since taking power, Kyosuke Kosaka has generally offered very reasonable market prices.

Now, it seems to have gone back to the way it was before.

In that case, probably no one would be willing to do it.

"No, someone's here! I'll call for help right away..." Fu Sheng said hurriedly.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "Following the old rules, it shouldn't be difficult to spit out what you've swallowed."

Fu Sheng looked troubled.

Kyosuke Kosaka seemed to sense something.

"Was it done by a new, inexperienced person?"

"..."

Seeing that no one else spoke, Kyosuke Kousaka immediately understood.

I'm speechless.

It was absolutely that idiot Fujiwara Yasuke who completely destroyed the order he had worked so hard to create!

I reckon even the city area has been significantly affected!

For a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke felt an urge to grab Fujiwara Yasuke and torture him.

But after thinking about it, I realized there was no need to make myself look so sloppy.

I simply stopped thinking about it.

Arguing too much about the dead, like his brother, will only cause serious internal strife.

We should keep looking forward!

“I’ll take some more money from the public funds and then make up for it later,” Kousaka Kyosuke said decisively.

Public funds, also known as public money.

Every official office needs to spend money when doing things, so it is usually used.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka never expected that the surroundings would become deathly silent.

Upon seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka was completely stunned.

The eerie silence lasted for quite some time.

Suddenly, a deliberately boastful voice rang out...

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his eyes and gazed intently at the source of the footsteps.

He was a man wearing an official robe and with a stubble beard.

"...Kyosuke! Are you some kind of persistent ghost?! Why are you everywhere?"

Fujiwara Yasuke, who had just arrived, couldn't help but curse loudly.

After being ruined by Kyosuke Kosaka the day before yesterday, he also took a hard fall and ended up in the filthy public canal.

How could he possibly be in a good mood now that he's encountered Kyosuke Kousaka?

"Where did you spend the public funds?" Kyosuke Kosaka didn't respond, he just asked.

Fujiwara Yasusuke said coldly:

"None of your business! Do you think you're still the Inspector of Illegal Activities? You're just a nobody!"

Even though the Regent was dead, his son Kanetaka was still a prominent figure among the court nobles.

He was a vassal of Kaneyuki.

How dare someone without even an official position question this!

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke sighed, not wanting to say anything more.

Thinking about it, it makes sense; asking is pointless.

What kind of good mind can someone have if they can't even see the normal situation clearly?

"If you have nothing else to say, then get lost!"

"Several thieves broke into several residences along the six main streets of Ukyo last night. Do you have anything to say about that?"

"Is this something you can concern yourself with?"

“Yeah, yeah, I can’t care about that,” Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Finished talking and left.

This guy has no idea that even his powerful backer is in dire straits.

What Kousaka Kyosuke didn't expect was...

They were still waiting for Fujiwara Yasuke to step down before launching a major purge, but the time came so quickly.

Upon returning home, Kyosuke Kosaka learned that Michitsuna Fujiwara was already waiting for him.

"Kyosuke, do you know? Kyoto has been plagued by miasma lately."

"I didn't notice. Your security work is really good."

"Now is not the time for idle chatter. The Daoist Master has already reinstated you to your original position, so you must ensure the safety of these important people!"

"I understand."

"You also have the merit of exterminating evil spirits. The Daoist Master intends to make you a special leader."

"Don't think so... Isn't this usually a position held by nobles from high-ranking families?"

"The Taoist priest dislikes people who don't do anything practical the most."

"Then I'll gladly accept it," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

The Taoist priest began to exert his power.
