Chapter 75 Pushing Hands (Ch 75)

“These guys are actually doing these things right under the nose of Seireitei.” Kyoraku Shunsui frowned.
Runlin’an District is right next to the Soul Society, but the Gotei 13 did not discover this, which is quite embarrassing.
At this time, there was a noise outside the corridor.
A white-haired Grim Reaper came in from outside the door, followed by several other Grim Reapers.
July recognized the white-haired Grim Reaper. He was the captain-general’s deputy – the first squad’s deputy captain, Chojiro Suzuki.
“Deputy Captain Suzuki, you’re here so quickly!” Kyoraku Shunsui raised his eyebrows.
It was obvious that Chojiro Suzuki was sent by the captain-general.
“Captain Kyoraku, it seems that you have gained a lot, but your unauthorized actions have made the captain-general very dissatisfied.” said Chojiro Suzuki.
“If you’re dissatisfied, then you’re dissatisfied. But I’m the captain now. It’s impossible for that old man Shan to put me in solitary confinement again.” Kyoraku Shunsui said indifferently.
Suzu Chojiro didn’t say much, but just helped Kyoraku Shunsui take the evidence away.
With this evidence, we can continue the investigation and find out who is behind it.
…
A few days later, July went to the 8th Squad to learn about the progress of the investigation, but learned from the squad members that their captain had not returned in the past few days.
After some inquiries, he learned the inside information: after Kyoraku Shunsui made his outrageous remarks that day, he was put in solitary confinement by the captain-general when he returned.
The captain-general suddenly wanted to test his disciples’ training, and Kyoraku Shunsui could only recall the training time with the captain-general.
The evidence found that day has been submitted to the Central Office 46. The Central Office 46 attached great importance to the matter and assigned it to the Sixth and Tenth Divisions for a joint investigation.
However, July soon received shocking news.
That “Otsukabo” turned out to be a forging workshop run by the Zaraki family!
The entire Zaruki family was arrested!
Even Kana Zaraki, who was attending class, was taken away on the spot!
Rokuguruma Kensei, Hirako Mako and Kotsubaki Ren’emon didn’t even bother to attend the class and simply skipped it to report to the teacher.
After calming down his disciples, July went to the prison with Bayunzhai to meet Zanjo Kana.
Seeing that the Grim Reaper of the prison team knew Bayunzhai, he let them in directly.
Zaraki Kana was not hurt, but she was a little tired after being tortured. When she saw July, she regained her spirits: “Teacher!”
“Coriander, I brought you some pastries.” July handed over the food box.
“Teacher, is the Zaraki family going to be finished? I heard from the Grim Reaper of the Prison Team that we are guilty of treason!” Zaraki Kana opened the lunch box in frustration, feeling that this would be her last meal.
“Don’t worry, I will find a way to get you out.” July comforted.
“Kana, is Otsukabo the forge of the Zaraki family?”
“That’s right, teacher. Do you remember that the batch of wooden swords provided by the Spiritual Arts Academy at the beginning of the school year had problems. Later, I brought a batch of wooden swords here from Otsukabo, as a promotion for the new store.” said Kana Zaraki.
“Is Otsukabo a newly opened store?” July frowned.
“It was newly opened, about a month or two before I started school. I had a conversation with Mr. Otsuka when I got the wooden sword. He was in charge of this store from its construction to its opening.” Kana Zaraki recalled.
“So do you know Mr. Otsuka?”
“I don’t know much about it, but I guess it’s the kind of retainer who manages the business?”
Kana Zashiro didn’t know much about what was going on at home, and she couldn’t tell clearly whether her clansmen had committed treason or not, so she was imprisoned without knowing why.
Kana Zaraki didn’t know much, so July calmed her down and left the prison.
He originally wanted to ask Xiangcai’s parents, but her parents were under a higher level of control, and even Bayunzhai’s face was of no use.
“It seems that the Xiadalu family’s actions were not a spur-of-the-moment decision. We just happened to be there.”
July believes that this action against the Zaraki family was probably planned for a long time.
“This matter is very strange. If only the Kasumi Road family was involved, it would be impossible to take down the Zaraki family so quickly.” Bayunzhai frowned.
The Zaraki family had been developing rapidly over the past hundred years, and the power they were able to leverage was not low, but now they were thrown into jail within a few days.
Fortunately, July still has a trump card.
During this period of time, he used Shadow to monitor the Xia Dalu family and discovered that the Xia Dalu family had records of those successfully forged Tapir Knives.
It just so happened that he also knew where the Xiadalu family stored the clan files.
If we can find the clan files, we can prove that those swords were made by the Xiadalu family.
…
A few days later, Kyoraku Shunsui was finally free.
“Really? You’re so old, but your hands are still so strong. My shoulder still hurts!” Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his shoulders.
After he left the First Squadron, he couldn’t wait to find a place to drink.
I have been “practicing” with the old man in the mountains these days and I can’t even drink alcohol.
He’s almost suffocating.
“Captain Kyoraku, I finally got you.”
The sudden sound startled Kyoraku Shunsui. He looked around but saw no one.
After careful perception, I found that the shadow in the corner was a little unusual.
Kyoraku Shunsui already had his hand on the hilt of the knife.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s me.”
The shadow in the corner gradually faded away, revealing the figure of Shikatari Nanazuki.
“Shikatori-kun? Is this the ability of your Zanpakutō?” Kyoraku Shunsui looked at the fading shadow and asked curiously, “This ability is very hidden. I didn’t notice it before…”
“My shadow can help me hide my spiritual pressure.” Nanatsuki explained briefly and continued, “Does Captain Kyoraku know what happened to the Zaraki family recently?”
“I’m not completely ignorant during these days in the First Division, but I do know something about the Zaraki family… I didn’t expect that the swordsmith we found belonged to the Zaraki family.” Kyoraku Shunsui sighed. He remembered that one of July’s disciples was a child of the Zaraki family.
He heard that the Sixth Division and the Tenth Division later found a lot of evidence of treason in the Zaraki family’s mansion, and that many evil swords called “Taiko Swords” had been forged, and that many guards and retainers of the Zaraki family were equipped with Tapir Swords.
Coupled with some written evidence, it is enough to prove that the Zaraki family is recruiting soldiers and intends to rebel.
“The Zaraki family was wrongly accused. After my investigation over the past few days, I found that those swords were actually made by the Kasumigaoji family.” July said.
“Hey, hey, you can’t just say this. Do you have any evidence?” Kyoraku Shunsui actually also felt that something was odd, mainly because the speed at which this matter was being pushed forward was somewhat unusual.
All the cases involving aristocrats that he had dealt with before were delayed as much as possible.
A case like this involving so many people would probably be faced with many obstacles in its investigation.
The investigation will not go smoothly until the person who takes the blame appears.
The case of the Zaraki family was very strange. Relevant evidence was found within a few days, and the entire family was locked up and was about to be sent to the “execution ground”.
Obviously there is a powerful force driving this matter.
“Of course there is evidence, but we have to get it ourselves.”
July went to see Kyoraku Shunsui because he was attracted by his identity.
Just because he produced a family file, it didn’t mean he could say it was the Xiadalu family file and that it could be used as evidence.
The files can be forged.
He needed to find someone of importance to serve as a witness to obtain evidence, and as the captain-general’s disciple and the current captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui naturally had enough importance.
