Yorii Tsugikuni Must Do Something Chapter 40

Chapter 59: Honest's Attention, Sayo's Emulation

"Then, our next step is to find one of the infiltrators among them."

Sayo picked up Adai from the ground. Although Adai looked quite clumsy, when Sayo held it, it was just like an ordinary puppy.

Watching Kurome leave, Sayo looked at the crowded refugees and began to ponder.

Jingle jingle!

A carriage came around the corner from a distance, followed by a unit of imperial soldiers in armor.

"Are you Captain Yorii Tsugikuni?"

"I am the disaster relief official for this mission. Lord Honest attached great importance to the report you submitted, and he even took the lead in donating one of his mansions at today's council meeting."

A middle-aged official with a large belly stepped out of the carriage. He looked kindly at Yorii Tsugikuni and explained his purpose.

"Then the subsequent disaster relief will be entrusted to you."

Although Yorii Tsugikuni didn't know why Honest was personally involved in this matter this time, he believed it was ultimately a good thing for the refugees to have a disaster relief official arrive.

"You're welcome, Captain Yorii Tsugikuni. To be so highly regarded by Lord Honest at such a young age, your future is bound to be bright. Disaster relief is my duty, and there's no hardship involved."

The disaster relief official had no airs about him. He looked at Yorii Tsugikuni before him and spoke flattering pleasantries.

He didn't dare to make things difficult for this person who showed no regard for even the ministers under Honest in the Imperial Capital.

After all, Honest had already instructed them not to provoke Yorii Tsugikuni lightly.

If necessary, they should act on their own discretion.

Speaking of which, he actually didn't want to come for this disaster relief.

Normally, there would be a lot of "oil and water" to be gained during disaster relief.

However, with Yorii Tsugikuni present, the disaster relief had turned into a tough job.

After all, life and freedom were more important than that small amount of "oil and water."

"Then let's do something too."

The empire's disaster relief department had arrived, and Yorii Tsugikuni's previous worries had eased considerably.

He looked at the people beside him and prepared to lead them to search the slum.

One was to track suspicious individuals, and the other was to separate the sick or deceased.

Soon, Yorii Tsugikuni began to act with his men.

Hundreds of members of the security force entered the slum to carry out their tasks.

Yorii Tsugikuni also obtained some rabbit fur from Adai's rabbit ornaments.

He gently placed it in his hand.

To him, even such light fur could become something like a steel needle in his hands.

With a casual wave, Yorii Tsugikuni practiced and shot a piece of rabbit fur into Ieyasu's collar.

"Take these with you."

"You might need them in the future."

After the successful attempt, Yorii Tsugikuni gave some rabbit fur to Sayo, Tatsumi, and Sayo each.

At least with these, finding the few people would become much easier.

"Master, I want some too."

Ieyasu didn't notice that Yorii Tsugikuni had already slipped a piece of rabbit fur into his clothes.

He asked Yorii Tsugikuni for another one.

Of course, this was just a small interlude. Then, they divided the members of the security force into four teams.

They began a day of busy work.

They were so busy that it wasn't until evening that this large-scale screening finally concluded.

Yorii Tsugikuni also hid half of the dozens of rabbit furs he had obtained from Adai on those who had shown malice towards them during the investigation.

"I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain this time."

"We even found someone from another race here."

Sayo pulled a ragged person wearing a worn hat and covered in mud in front of Yorii Tsugikuni.

During the screening, Kobi paid special attention to this spy from another race.

Therefore, even though he had hidden himself well, he was still discovered.

"Send him to prison."

Yorii Tsugikuni glanced at the spy Sayo had caught. Due to the long-standing war between the empire and the other races.

It was perfectly normal for them to appear in the Imperial Capital.

"Bang!"

Sayo casually landed a blow, and the spy from the foreign tribe was immediately knocked unconscious.

"I have an idea."

Taking the spy to a secluded spot, Sayo hid the rabbit fur Yorii Tsugikuni had just given her on the spy.

To ensure it wouldn't fall off, she checked it several times.

"Since we've already marked some people who might be from the Revolutionary Army today."

"We can try this with this guy from the foreign tribe too, to track their stronghold."

After finishing, Sayo explained her plan to everyone.

Although she usually preferred to just fight, she had recently been inspired by Yorii Tsugikuni's method of tracking hidden Revolutionary Army members.

Sayo naturally came up with this method to investigate the spy from the foreign tribe.

"Are we just going to let him go?"

The moment Ieyasu said this, he regretted it.

Sayo and Tatsumi looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Of course, they meant no harm.

"The two guards on duty got drunk and let a spy escape."

Sayo explained her idea. Her time in the Imperial Guard had changed her significantly.

The little girl who had been so clueless back then had now become a capable Imperial Guard member.

Because she often read books with Yorii Tsugikuni, this method was inspired by a book she had read.

"Mhm."

Sayo and Yorii Tsugikuni nodded.

Yorii Tsugikuni noticed that, without realizing it, the people who used to just patrol the streets diligently.

had now slowly begun to employ strategies.

Their team was gradually maturing.

In order to track more Revolutionary Army members and people from foreign tribes, after some discussion, Yorii Tsugikuni finally decided to investigate the slums again in a few days.

This way, they could achieve greater results.

"Let's go help distribute some food now."

At noon, the disaster relief official arrived at the entrance of the slums with his people and set up a porridge stall.

Looking at the already crowded area in the distance.

Yorii Tsugikuni and the others began to maintain order.

The food distributed by the disaster relief official was extremely simple, just a bowl of plain congee.

However, in Yorii Tsugikuni's opinion, this was still better than having nothing at all, as they had before.

"Slow down!"

"Get back, don't crowd!"

At this moment, Ieyasu's loud voice proved useful.

He shouted at the crowding refugees, assisting Yorii Tsugikuni in maintaining order.

Chapter 60: Busy Imperial Guard, United Goal

Because there were too many people.

The first distribution of congee was very difficult, and it wasn't until late at night that it finally ended.

"So tired."

"My whole body feels like it's falling apart."

The disaster relief official and the soldiers protecting him had already left.

Yorii Tsugikuni and Ieyasu, along with the others, were eating rice balls after finishing their work.

Ieyasu was squatting on the steps. His usually boisterous voice was now hoarse.

"Want some?"

Yorii Tsugikuni slowly chewed on the rice ball in his hand.

Feeling like someone was peeking at him, he turned around and discovered a pair of eyes looking at him from behind a broken wall in the distance.

Walking to the wall, he discovered it was a little girl.

"Thank you, big brother."

Hearing Yorii Tsugikuni's words, the little girl accepted the rice ball he offered.

tucked into her own clothes.

"Eat it here."

Seeing the little girl's actions, Yorii Tsugikuni stopped her.

If anyone discovered the little girl hiding the rice ball, she probably wouldn't have a chance to eat it at all.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she finished the rice ball according to Yorii Tsugikuni's words.

"Let's go back."

"If anyone dares to bully you, little one, remember to tell me."

Sayo followed from a distance, her voice deliberately raised.

Yorii Tsugikuni could feel the pairs of green eyes watching from the darkness. After Sayo finished speaking, they quickly retracted their gaze.

A woman approached from a distance. After thanking them both, she took the little girl away.

No one lingered.

There were still many matters in the Imperial Capital that needed to be handled by the guard.

With the disaster relief officials taking over here, they could free up their hands to do more.

However, after some thought, Yorii Tsugikuni left Tatsumi to lead a team to be stationed here permanently.

They would assist the disaster relief officials and maintain order for these refugees.

After all, if these refugees were allowed into the Imperial Capital, it was unknown how much chaos would ensue.

Time quickly passed to the next day.
