Chapter 401 Get in the car
Upon hearing these words, Ryunosuke's first reaction was an inexplicable sense of relief.
But then he pressed down on both of Xiao Gong's shoulders with a serious look and asked, "Xiao Gong, what's going on? What did you do?"
"Let me tell you."
At this moment, Arataki Ichito walked in just in time and answered Ryunosuke's questions.
Afterwards, Aratake Ichito and Yoshimiya gave a colorful performance.
They first switched the positions of the victim and the perpetrator, then lied about the other party's injuries and concealed Xiaogong's true intention of leaving.
Then they slandered and spread rumors about the behavior of Masano and his son, turning Xiao Gong's original crime of premeditated murder into excessive self-defense.
So through their sophistry, the story was translated into two completely different versions.
Masano's provocation failed and he was punched instead. He shouted at Aratake Ichito to wait for his revenge.
As a law-abiding citizen, Aratake Ichito did not take any other action and let the other party leave.
Xiao Gong was so angry that he rushed to the other party's house to argue with him.
However, she was bitten back by the other party, who falsely accused her of obstructing official duties and even became lustful and made sexual advances towards Xiao Gong.
Xiao Gong, who had lost the Eye of God, was no match for Zheng Ye. During the violent struggle, he accidentally killed the opponent.
It happened that his father Yougu also came back at this time. When he saw his son's death, he went crazy and strangled Xiaogong's neck, wanting to kill her to avenge his son's life.
Aratake Ichito came all the way here because he was worried about Xiaogong's safety, and happened to see Yougu trying to strangle Xiaogong to death.
He immediately kicked the other person and sent him flying.
The desperate Yougu refused to give up. He poured a bucket of oil on himself, took out a match and set himself on fire, hoping to die together with the two of them.
After Arotaki Ichito kicked the opponent away again, he took Xiao Gong away from this troubled place.
Yugu was burned to death along with his son's body, and the house was also set on fire.
"Anyway...that's it. I'm very sorry that I couldn't find Xiao Gong earlier." Arata Ichito shook his head and sighed.
Ryunosuke's eyes were bloodshot, and the surging anger seemed to explode from his chest.
He punched the wall hard and roared.
"A bunch of beasts!!"
Out of trust in the two men, and seeing his daughter's disheveled clothes and a large bloodstain on her forehead, Ryunosuke believed the story told by Aradaki Ichito without a doubt.
At this moment, all he could think about was how to protect Xiao Palace.
Xiao Gong's eyes were red with pain, and he choked up and said, "Dad...what should I do? I killed someone...the fire can't be hidden, and the shogunate army will find us soon."
Ryunosuke was in a state of confusion, but he still comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Gong, everything will be fine. There will definitely be a way."
Arata Ichito said calmly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Long, the current situation is not favorable for us."
"First, there is no evidence to show that the deceased had any aggressive behavior towards Xiao Palace, because the other party is already dead, and the body has been burned beyond recognition, and may even have turned into ashes, so our statements will be viewed with reservations."
"Second, the final result is that the possibility of judging that Xiao Gong had excessive self-defense is extremely low, also because there is no evidence."
"Third, even if the best outcome is that Xiao Gong's sentence could be as high as life imprisonment or as low as ten years, can you accept it?"
"Then what can we do?"
Ryunosuke stamped his feet in annoyance, feeling angry and anxious.
Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Arata Ichito, as if he had grasped the last straw, took three or two steps forward, and shook the other's hand tightly.
"Yidou, tell me the truth, you must have a way, right? You will definitely help Xiaogong, right? I beg you..."
Arata Ichito held Ryunosuke's arms affectionately and shook his head, "Uncle Long, what are you doing? I have something to do with this. How can I not help? Listen to me first."
"Okay, okay, Yidou, go ahead and talk. Uncle is listening."
Ryunosuke rubbed his anxious hands and forced himself to calm down.
Arata Ichito said, "If you want a solution, I actually have one."
"What is it?!" Ryunosuke asked hurriedly.
Arata Ichito made his proposal, "It has already been done, and we can't change it, but we can choose to run away."
"Ichito... do you mean to let Aoi leave Hanamizaka on her own?" Ryuuga no Gong looked suspicious.
"No no no."
Arata Ichito first pointed at himself, then pointed at Kamisato Ayaka who was eavesdropping outside the door, and finally pointed at Ryunosuke.
"Uncle, you got the wrong concept. It's not her, it's us."
"We?" Ryunosuke was surprised.
Arata Ichito nodded, "Yes, it's a long story. In short, those people headed by me all had their own reasons for not being able to stay in Inazuma Castle any longer."
"Some people haven't handed in their God's Eye, and the Nine Saras are targeting them. Some are still children and can only follow us. Others may have committed crimes like us, but don't want to drag down their families, so they are on the same path."
“Even though I don’t know whether the future is good or not, it’s better than staying in a dark brain for decades.”
Xiao Gong just said softly, "Dad, everything is up to you."
Ryunosuke sighed, then stopped hesitating, "Ichito, when are we leaving?"
Arata Ichito slowly uttered two words, "Now."
.........
Ryunosuke took Xiao Gong with him to pack his bags.
For Ryunosuke, he could make new fireworks if they were gone, and he could rebuild his house if it was gone, but if anything happened to his daughter, he would be worse off than dead.
The reason why Xiao Gong agreed to let Ara Taki Ito act was also because he was reluctant to leave his father.
She just changed her personality, but she is not crazy or stupid.
After what happened today, she realized that if she continued to stay, she would definitely cause trouble for her father.
Putting aside other things, just looking at the current situation, tomorrow the Shogunate army will visit his Naganohara fireworks shop.
The reason is that the image of himself asking where Pucun was as he walked along was too profound, and many people knew about it.
It seems like just like what Yidou said, there is really no choice but to run away.
Aratake Ichito was squatting on the side of the street, holding a firework stick in his hand, and bright golden sparks were bursting and running before his eyes like a meteor shower.
"Boss, are you leaving today?"
Kamisato Ayaka came out and asked while scratching her head.
"Yeah." Aratake Ichito nodded slightly, "I had originally planned to do it in these few days, but I just happened to run into Masano, so I'll use him as a fuse and advance the progress."
"Alas, when I think about not being able to see my brother for a long time in the future, I feel... really no emotion."
Kamisato Ayaka sighed, "As expected, I really don't have any feelings for the people in the past. So, joining the Arotaki faction is actually the best destination for me? I can't believe it."
"Then you can go back." The sparks in Aratake Ichito's eyes disappeared, and he threw away the extinguished firework stick, stood up and walked past Kamisato Ayaka, and said lazily,
"Do you really think I'm stupid? Who would believe such a nonsense reason as "the world is so big and I want to travel around?"
"You came to me because you noticed the changes in yourself and were worried about being a burden to others."
"Of course, my words have nothing to do with your vengeful, selfish, emotional, conceited, or thick-skinned nature. They are simply a little bit of affirmation of your behavior."
Kamisato Ayaka turned her head with a frown on her face, "Boss, are you praising me or scolding me? Your words are too sharp."
"Haha, let's go. Let me take you to the island first before we talk."
Arata Ichito summoned a motorcycle, sat on it, and waved to everyone.
"What are you still standing there for? Get in the car."
