Chapter 132 The Downfall of the Fujiwara Clan

Just as Kojiro was about to be strangled to death by the black mist, a man and a woman he saw walked towards him with expressionless faces.

After Kojiro breathed his last, the black mist did not loosen its grip but waited for the two to approach.

The young man, or rather the boy, expressionlessly reached out and grabbed the corpse by the neck.

The black mist then loosened.

Another woman, dressed in glamorous attire, lifted her collar, revealing a glimpse of her cleavage.

Then the two of them seemed to be frozen in a painting, completely still.

Several servants rushed onto the path and, upon seeing the scene, screamed in terror.

These two people seemed to come alive.

The boy's expression became vivid, a mixture of anger and fear of being discovered.

The woman, on the other hand, looked terrified.

The screams attracted many people, including Ishida Shijun, who had come to find his master.

When Shizumi Ishida saw his master's body, he was immediately stunned.

He remembered the old man's instructions, his voice chilling and as cold as the wind.

"You don't need to do anything tonight. Just go find someone after your master leaves for a while."

Shizumi Ishida shivered.

The entire Fujiwara residence was in an uproar.

This matter could not be hidden at all, and many guests knew that Rengoku Kojiro was killed because he stumbled upon Fujiwara no Kojiro and his stepmother.

This is a huge scandal!

The Fujiwara clan head, sitting at home, was struck by a scandal: WTF?!

Thanks to human beings' gossipy nature, such sex scandals spread quite quickly.

"Let me tell you, the Fujiwara family has been..."

The Fujiwara family's reputation was greatly damaged.

Having been cuckolded, the head of the Fujiwara family lashed out with a whip, severely beating his unfilial son, his once most beloved youngest son.

Even as the man lay dying and the whip was soaked with blood, the head of the Fujiwara family was still not satisfied. His anger was not appeased, and he wanted to continue beating him with red eyes, but his servants desperately stopped him.

Attendant: Killing your own son isn't a good reputation, Master!

Damaged reputation is just the first step; this incident is like a pebble thrown into water, creating ripples.

"Master, the elders are waiting in the study."

The head of the Fujiwara family threw down the whip in frustration, changed his clothes, and realized that he had also been covered in blood during the execution.

After the exhausted Fujiwara clan head sent the elders away, he waited for the rumors to slowly disappear. Little did he know that this was just the beginning.

Following that, the Fujiwara family seemed to be cursed, with various scandals frequently occurring.

Father-in-law and daughter-in-law, stepson and kitten, siblings in orthopedics...

It has allowed both commoners and nobles to enjoy the fruits of the melon.

In modern terms, it's like being stuck on the front page of news for months on end.

The despairing head of the Fujiwara family thought: How could he have never known that his own family members were all like this!

Many members of the Fujiwara clan went to the shrine to pray to the gods and ward off bad luck.

The head of the Fujiwara family also wanted to go, but the emperor summoned him because of the recent commotion at the Fujiwara residence.

Of course, the official purpose was to invite the head of the Fujiwara family to the palace to play Go.

Emperor: Everyone has their share of fun in private, but don't flaunt it like this in public; it damages the image of the nobility.

The Fujiwara family has a history of over a thousand years and is almost the representative of the country's nobility. For any commoner, no matter how remote, the first surname that comes to mind when thinking of nobility is Fujiwara.

As the two players were engrossed in their game of chess, the Emperor's hand, which had been steadily holding a black piece, suddenly began to tremble without warning.

His body began to spasm uncontrollably, as if he were being violently impacted by an invisible force.

Upon seeing this, the attendant serving chess was immediately horrified and shouted in terror, "Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"

The sound resounded throughout the palace, startling everyone present into a daze.

The head of the Fujiwara family was utterly dumbfounded, completely unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

I know that the Emperor is nearly forty years old, and he has always given the impression of being young, strong, and energetic. I have never heard of him suffering from any serious illness. But this sudden illness is really hard to believe.

In an instant, an ominous premonition surged in the heart of the Fujiwara family head.

Is he involved in some palace conspiracy?

However, something even more unexpected happened next.

The Emperor's condition deteriorated rapidly. Before the imperial physicians could even arrive, he was already foaming at the mouth and swaying precariously like a candle in the wind.

That body, which should have been incredibly majestic, was now trembling like an eighty-year-old man on his deathbed.

Just then, the Emperor used his last bit of strength to raise his hand with difficulty.

His fingers trembled slightly as he slowly pointed in a certain direction.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and their expressions changed drastically. They all instinctively backed away.

The Fujiwara clan head, who was unfortunately pointed out by the Emperor, felt a chill in his heart.

The Emperor, coughing up blood, exclaimed, "It's you!"

Fujiwara clan head: ? ? What the hell?!

The head of the Fujiwara family, who was framed with his life, looked like he had been ripped out, inwardly screaming that this had nothing to do with him at all!

He was just unlucky.

"Master Fujiwara, please wait."

The Emperor's behavior toward the head of the Fujiwara clan before his death was truly strange.

Everyone knows there's something fishy going on here, but so what?

The Fujiwara family has occupied the upper echelons for too long and possesses too many resources, which has long aroused the envy of many.

Now that the Fujiwara family has been suppressed for committing a taboo by assassinating the emperor, and such a large piece of fat meat is waiting to be divided, who would be so blind as to ask to let the Fujiwara go?

Few offer help when someone is in dire need, but many offer help when someone is already successful.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; isn't that the case?
