Chapter 60: Trampled Justice

Chapter 60: Trampled Justice
Earlier.

Just before Natsuki and Kyoraku Shunsui arrived near Guanting Street.

On Guanting Street, in front of Central Room 46.

A young man wearing simple clothes, with a cloth wrapped around his head, a dark complexion, and dull eyes, who could be seen at a glance as a blind man, was being stopped by several guards with a six-foot steel rod.

Facing these people's interception, the blind young man shouted with his life at stake, "Please let me see the Central 46th Room! Please!"

However, faced with the young man's request.

However, these guards remained indifferent, and there was even mockery and ridicule in their eyes.

This was not only because they were all relatives of the nobles, but also because they could tell at a glance that the blind man in front of them was a commoner.

In the Outer Court of Seireitei, because many Shinigami were born commoners, the people there have a close relationship with the Shinigami, so it is rare for nobles to look down on commoners. However, this is not the case in the Inner Court. This is where nobles live, and the nobles who live here are naturally arrogant. They look down on commoners and think that they are pariahs. They even look down on some Shinigami of lower status.

Only the Shinigami who have obtained the position of chief officer are worthy of their respect. If the other party is the captain of the Gotei 13, even if he is of commoner origin, they dare not show any contempt for him. On the contrary, they will respect him very much.

But obviously, the blind man in front of them was not the god of death, but just an ordinary civilian. Although they didn't know why he appeared here, it did not affect their contempt for him at all.

As for the other party's request to meet those big shots in Central Room 46?
joke!

Can you meet the big shot in Central Room 46 whenever you want?
Faced with the requests of the blind youths, they remained indifferent, faithfully performed their duties and kept them out.

Some are even considering whether to expel the other party.

Finally, it seemed that the blind man's incessant chattering finally annoyed the guards.

So, the six-foot stick was swung.

But it was blocked.

What the guard saw was a Zanpakutō being slowly sheathed.

The guard looked at the person blocking him, and his pupils contracted slightly.

He recognized the other person's identity.

The other party's identity is extremely prominent even among many nobles, simply because he has an extremely unusual surname.

"You, you are..."

"Please don't do something that will cause a commotion. After all, it is still the mourning period for Ge Kuang!"

The man warned the guard.

When the blind young man heard the name Ge Kuang, his heart was suddenly shaken. This name brought his thoughts back to his childhood.

Ge Kuang, this is the name of his best friend.

She had grown up with him in Rukongai, and she never looked down on him because he was blind. It could be said that she was his only friend. Later, Ka Kuang became a god of death and married into a noble family.

Even so, Ge Kuang did not alienate his friend.

She would often return to Rukongai and tell him about life in Seireitei.

However, he never expected that when he heard news about Ge Kuang again, it was the news of his death.

Logically speaking, as a person from Rukongai, the blind man is not qualified to know these things, let alone come to Soul Society. The reason for this is that after becoming a god of death, Utahara left his own suicide note. After all, in the process of fighting with hollows, no one knows whether they will die or not. Rather than being a suicide note left by himself, it is more like a proposal made by the academy when he was in the Maou Spiritual Academy.

In her suicide note, Kakuang mentioned that she hoped to be buried at the foot of a hill in Rukongai. As for the location, her best friend Tosen Kaname in Rukongai asked her to find out. So, the blind man called "Tosen Kaname" was specially brought to the Seireitei because of Kakuang's noble status and was able to participate in Kakuang's funeral. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the Seireitei and knowing the cause of Kakuang's death, he was sincerely angry.

Ge Kuang did not die in the battle with Xu.

Instead, she was killed by her husband.

Her husband had some conflicts with his colleagues, so he killed them. When Ge Kuang knew about this, she seemed to be dissatisfied with her husband's behavior and scolded him a few words. However, she did not expect that the angry husband would kill her as well.

If only that was it.

What Tosen couldn't accept was that as the husband of a murderer, he didn't even receive too much punishment. He was just scolded a few times and the matter was over.

It seems to be intended to show the power of the great nobles.

It also seemed that they thought he was a blind man, a commoner, and could not make any waves.

So when he was invited to the noble house that Ge Kuang had married into and attend Ge Kuang's funeral, he heard some members of the noble house talking about this matter. These people didn't seem to think that the murderer had done anything wrong.

For this reason, Tosen decided to seek justice, so he came to Guanting Street and wanted to meet with the Central 46th Room.

Perhaps it was because the man mentioned the name Ge Kuang.

So, when the man took the initiative to mention that he was Ge Kuang's colleague as a god of death and invited him to come over for a chat, the blind Dongxian was convinced. He walked over and chatted a lot with the man.

I thought I had found a confidant.

As a result, when the man revealed his name, Dongxian was extremely terrified.

Just because the man's name is——"Tsunayashiro Tokinada!"

Tsunayashiro is the noble that his friend Utamasa married into, the top noble in Soul Society, one of the five great nobles, which is why he was brought into the Seireitei as a commoner because Utamasa's suicide note mentioned him.

The five great nobles possess unparalleled privileges.

And Tsunayashiro Tokinada is none other than Utahara's husband.

In other words, he had previously talked a lot with the murderer about Ge Kuang.

After knowing this, Dongxian was extremely angry. He subconsciously wanted to attack the person in front of him to avenge Ge Kuang.

But he is not the God of Death, and Tosen Kaname does not know any of the four abilities of Zan, Quan, Zougui. How could he be a match for Tsunayashiro Tokinada?

Tsunayashiro Tokinada easily knocked him down.

Then, he said to the guards guarding the door of Central Room 46: "Are you just going to watch like this?"

"You lowly commoners attacked a noble like me!"

So, several guards holding six-foot sticks stepped forward without hesitation and started beating Dongxian.

He was just a commoner who had the chance to enter the Soul Society and actually dared to attack a noble here, and the top noble at that. There shouldn't be any problem even if he was beaten to death.

The sound of sticks hitting and screaming mixed together.

Until a serious male voice came out, "What are you doing?"
