Aoyama Xiu Xin supported Qingshui Yi's rise to power and killed Uesugi Nobunaga, news of which reached Fujimoto Takayoshi's ears the very same day through Xiao Lin Guide and Honjo Yuho.
Both of them were still unwilling to fall into Aoyama Xiu Xin's hands, especially when compared to his disregard for human life, even Fujimoto Takayoshi seemed compassionate.
So they hoped Fujimoto Takayoshi would intervene.
Fujimoto Takayoshi was somewhat startled by this, as in his memory, Aoyama Xiu Xin was a capable yet unassuming man, mild and refreshing like a spring breeze.
He had not expected such recklessness.
But he soon came to terms with it, thinking that this was more like it—finally showing some of Lord Jing's arrogance and assertiveness. Otherwise, he'd almost forgotten Aoyama Xiu Xin's age and background.
He didn't involve himself in the affairs of the Violent Gangs, setting an example for the other police officers not to intervene directly.
