Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 387

"I'm going to get scolded again." Su Chang knew the future almost without even thinking.

"Yes, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled at the sudden appearance of Su Yi.

Today's simple clothes clearly show that she hasn't put on much makeup; her hair is simply tied up.

Even so, her unparalleled beauty could not be concealed even without makeup.

The mature and charming allure emanating from her eyebrows and eyes is exceptionally captivating.

Every gesture and movement exudes elegance and grace.

The men behind Kousaka Kyosuke were all keeping their eyes down and their minds at ease.

As trusted confidants, they were all well aware that the two ladies of the Qin family were skilled in martial arts.

The way the light appeared, flashing like a ghost, was enough to make one's heart skip a beat and leave them stunned.

Ayanokouji, with his eyes lowered, struggled to control his horrified emotions.

I finally witnessed Su Yi's methods.

It was rare for him to feel flustered.

"Although I know I can't even withstand a single move, that elusive and unpredictable movement technique is even more frightening."

Ayanokouji thought to himself, not even glancing at Su Yi twice.

To be honest, he didn't know whether plain clothes were beautiful or not.

It's really scary.

In Ayanokoji's view...

The subtle presence of plain clothes is quite terrifying.

If you see it, just look down.

To be precise, it's best not to look at women other than your sister.

I'll skip over Ayanokoji's thoughts.

The rest of the people were in much the same boat.

It's very bad for your career if your boss's woman notices you even once.

No one can ignore it.

At this moment, Su Yi's only emotion was happiness that her husband had returned safely.

At the same time, he was also angry with his younger sister.

Considering that her younger sister might cause trouble and attract attention, she had no choice but to come along.

This has put a lot of people in an awkward position.

Su Yi felt ashamed because she could clearly see the unnatural expressions on the faces of the others.

Kyosuke Kosaka noticed the strangeness around him, but didn't pay much attention to it.

He knew very well that Su Chang was about to be scolded.

However, he was more concerned about the attitude of his other subordinates.

Aside from the fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law with whom he had close kinship ties, the others were indeed very well-behaved.

This secretly pleased him with the attitude of these people.

Although he wasn't so chauvinistic as to not even allow others to look at his wife.

But the fact that these people know to avoid such things at least shows that none of them are fools.

As for wanting to look straight ahead and express one's composure and naturalness?

If someone like that really appears, Kousaka Kyosuke will have to question whether that person is even usable.

all in all.

The group that had hastily arrived at Kyoto Port had thus completed their mission.

This time, they received 200,000 coins, as well as the right to establish a port and obtain fishing rights.

The others, who had been invited to the government office, began to distribute the spoils.

Distributing 20,000 coins among his subordinates, a few hundred coins to each person, though not much, is still a token of his appreciation.

In particular, the officials in the Water Department received more.

After all, these people's efforts to accumulate merits are not of any immediate use.

It's not that the officials in the capital were less capable than those from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of illegal activities in the capital, in that they could immediately turn their achievements into tangible benefits.

For example, the ordinary members of the Qin family who came this time.

Kyosuke Kosaka intends to directly assume positions such as fire chief, supervisor, and case manager.

Where are the people from the Water Department's office?

There's probably nothing that can be changed at the moment.

Ultimately, Kyosuke Kosaka never officially confirmed whether the port could be built.

Therefore, their reward will only be a few hundred coins for the time being.

Then compare the promotions and salary increases received by people with the same status...

If it were Kousaka Kyosuke himself, he wouldn't feel good about it.

"Alright, if anyone asks in the future, just say that you killed the Mirage Tower together with the Da Zi Mansion."

Finally, Kyosuke Kosaka emphasized one more thing.

He and the official in charge at the Da Zi Prefecture had agreed on their story.

Ultimately, many of the imported goods ordered by high-ranking officials were simply unavailable, and it was unacceptable to leave them without an explanation.

Give us a result first, then find someone to take the blame.

Perfect solution!

"As expected... Moving such a massive mirage to Da Zi Fu was just to provide an explanation."

Maruo appeared calm, but seemed to have a sudden realization.

Shogo was also surprised by how "smooth" Kousaka Kyosuke was in his actions.

"The fact that one person can eliminate a monster really highlights the incompetence of the others."

"Even though Kyosuke-sama is a famous Onmyoji in Kyoto, he still attracts hostility."

Shogo himself is well aware of how inexplicable a person's anger can be when they take it out on someone else.

Kyosuke Kosaka's actions do indeed help to avoid unnecessary complications.

I feel very satisfied.

No, I should say I admire you.

His position was relatively low, so the word "satisfied" sounded rather condescending.

Haoren, an office worker, is finally completely relieved.

"It is truly remarkable that Kyosuke-sama, who is only a few years older than Hachi, could think of this."

"I'm very proud that Komachi has such good taste..."

Basically, Kyosuke Kosaka won over his three fathers-in-law to a very high degree.

For several middle-aged people.

They have high, yet not excessive, requirements for their daughter's spouse.

Almost unanimously, they require that the person be of good character and have certain abilities in dealing with people.

Ultimately, in this era...

Often, doing something wrong or saying something wrong can lead to death.

People of high status, like Kyosuke Kousaka.

When encountering nobles or high-ranking officials, one must also be mindful of their words and actions.

Previously, Shogo, Maruo, and Hiroto had expressed concerns that Kousaka Kyosuke might be too young and impetuous.

Now, through frequent contact and observation at work, I can finally put my mind at ease.

Noon time.

Kyosuke Kosaka has already returned to Kyoto with the rest of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Even Shizuko and Chitanda, who usually lingered at the Mizubuji Manor, returned early together.

Upon arriving at his sleeping quarters, Kyosuke Kosaka readily began discussing the anticlimactic operation with the others.

It can be summarized in just a few simple sentences.

They are not as interesting as other imported goods from Da Zi Fu.
