"Thank you for your hard work, Masakiyoshi. I have appointed you as the leader of the interrogation committee, and you are allowed to wait for three days of rest before performing your duties." Kira Manshomaru was very satisfied with Hattori Masakiyo's efficiency. He was able to get Murasame Maru quietly. In terms of ability, even a hundred horse warriors are not as good as him. "I have something important to report." Hattori Masakiyoshi raised his head and glanced at the young man waiting outside the door. Kira Manshomaru immediately pushed the young man away, "If you have anything to do, just tell me." "My minister he caused a big disaster in Kanto. , Lord Furukawa is dead. " "What? Lord Koga is dead?" Kira Mansomaru jumped up and shouted, "You mean Ashikaga Haruji was killed? What did you do? Tell me clearly! " "No! I have no such treacherous thoughts." Hattori Masaki was also anxious, and he knelt down with his head on the ground and kept talking. Explanation: "I followed the instructions of the master of the building and attacked Furukawa Imperial Palace at night. First, he set fire to the south side of Kurun, and then caused a riot in the west side of Kurun. I took the opportunity to drive Lord Furukawa out of the castle tower. I took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the castle tower. Obtaining the evacuation of Murasame Maru went smoothly without any mistakes. It was not until the next day that I learned that Mr. Furukawa accidentally fell into a well and drowned. " "" Kira Manshomaru's expression was difficult at this time. To describe it, I wanted to laugh but couldn't, I wanted to cry but couldn't cry, I fell down on the tatami and stared at Hattori Masakiyoshi, "You are saying that the death of Mr. Furukawa had nothing to do with you, it was because he didn't have the eyesight to walk. "Drown yourself in the well?" "It's absolutely true! I swear to God and Buddha! Every word I said is true!" Hattori Masakiyoshi said again: "The chaos at the Furukawa Imperial Palace was reported the next day. Regarding the news of Mr. Furukawa's death, Takasuke Kada, the elder of Mr. Furukawa's family, announced that someone killed Mr. Furukawa that night. ""Don't gasp when you speak in the future, please finish it in one breath, okay?" Kira Manshomaru tensed up. He immediately relaxed and said, "How could such an accident happen? That unlucky Mr. Furukawa drowned like this? Isn't this too coincidental?" "I don't know, because it was a moonless night, and I was just vaguely aware of it. Hearing the cry, he retreated without going to investigate because the mission was urgent. It was probably at that time that Mr. Furukawa lost his footing and fell into the well! "Although I don't understand what "gasping" means, I still understand the second half of the sentence. of. "The Koga family believed that Kogata's death was the fault of the Hojo family. The elder Takasuke Adena led the Furukawa retainers to arrest the late Hojo Sakyouden's daughter Yoshunin and her son Umechiyo Omaru and hang them to death. Then Takasuke Adena committed suicide. He elected Ashikaga Fuji as the new Lord Furukawa, and on that day, he issued a Kanto crusade order with the heads of Yoshiharuin and Umechiyo Omaru, calling on the Kanto samurai to crusade against Hojo Ujiyasu. " "What is really going on here? Don't you have a problem? Why did Ashikaga Haruji's death bypass the Hojo family? The Furukawa family killed the Hojo family's daughter and grandson. Where is this? " Kira Manshomaru felt that he was confused again. Anxious to ask the whole story: "Go on, what happened next?" "Yes! The reaction of the Hojo family was a bit strange. They issued a mobilization order the day after the death of Yoshunin mother and son, but they seemed to be still arguing about some issue and never came out. The people of Kanto also seemed to be frightened. Anyway, there was no movement before my return. On the night of the seventh day after Lord Furukawa Kokata passed away, a huge earthquake occurred. Numerous houses collapsed and numerous civilians were killed and injured. Some people said that this was the grievance of His Highness Ashikaga Haruji. The spirit is causing trouble, and then there are rumors about the great earthquake in the seventh year of the Meiji Period." Hattori Masakiyoshi said while carefully observing Kira Manshomaru's movements. "Keep talking! What rumors are there?" "A demon is born, and the earth is shaking!" "NaNani? There are such rumors? Why have I never heard of them?" Kira Mansomaru asked himself that he had read a lot of books, but He had never heard of such a thing, and he didn¡¯t know much about folk rumors. Kansuke Yamamoto had never paid much attention to things other than military strategy, art of war, and political strategy. Ohuchi Nobusada was a Kyoto man. As a fanatical follower of culture, neither teacher took folklore seriously, so naturally he, an expert disciple, knew nothing about it. "Because in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, there was a legend that Nue appeared in the Eastern Kingdom. According to legend, Nue once ate all the people in a village. It seems that the evil spirit of His Highness Koga Furukawa put the monsters into Kanto." Hattori Masakichi found out this legend after searching his guts. To explain the ins and outs clearly, Nue is a very famous monster in ancient Japan. In "The Tale of the Heike", it is a big monster that makes even the emperor uneasy. For this reason, there is also a legend that the three Minamoto Yorimasa Nue retreated. Since it was Nue who appeared in the Eastern Kingdom, the nature of the matter has completely changed. More than sixty years have passed since the Ming Dynasty earthquake. At this time, the ancient rumors of "demons are born and the earth shakes" suddenly spread among the people of the Eastern Kingdom. Obviously someone is making trouble secretly, thisRumor has it that it is incompatible with Mr. Furukawa's crusade order, and the target is directly at the Hojo family. "Odawara Castle, known as the strongest castle in the Eastern Kingdom, also suffered huge losses in this major earthquake. Most of the houses in Odawara Castle were damaged, and even many residences of the Hojo family collapsed. This was also widely rumored to be the grievances of the Furukawa family. The spirit is asking for his life. "His! So cruel? This is the life of Hojo Ujiyasu!" Kira Manshomaru took a breath. The spirit of resentment is very famous. There were many famous spirits in the Heian era. , for example, the predecessor of Sugawara Michizane, the god of learning, was the famous resentful spirit that ravaged the Heian Dynasty for more than a hundred years. Another famous grudge, Taira Shomon, is also very famous. He is called the first ancestor of the Japanese samurai, and he also laid the foundation for the samurai family to rebel against the imperial court. It is said that the imperial court at that time hated this traitor who openly rebelled and claimed to be the "Emperor", so After Taira Shomon's head was sent to Kyoto, the imperial court issued the order to "show the head" for the first time. "Exposing the head" had become a routine intimidation method after the annihilation of rebels during the Warring States Period, but it had never happened in the Heian Era. Exposing the head of the deceased to the public was considered a desecration of the deceased, but in this case For those with treacherous intentions like Ping Jiangmen, the imperial court could use this method to scare the treacherous people by killing chickens and frightening monkeys. Therefore, when the imperial court announced that the head of the traitor Taira Shomon would be hung in front of the prison gate in Shichijo Kawara, everyone in the court was disgusted with it. However, as Taira Shomon's head began to rot, it became popular among the people. Many rumors spread, such as hearing Taira Shomon's wild laughter and roars in the middle of the night. A man named Toroku Sakon came over and turned the head of Shomon to the east, and then sang a song: "The fatal wound on Shomon's forehead was given by Touta Touta." Tahara Touta was Fujiwara Hidego's original name. Therefore, Ping Jiangmen's head suddenly roared: "I want to merge with my body, and I will fight you when I go back!" Then this rotten head shouted "My body!" and flew up. The sky flew to Kanto, because this incident caused a storm in Kyoto. Everyone was worried that this resentful spirit would resurrect and set off another huge wave of turmoil. Later, no new news came from Kanto, so the court There is settling down. With these two large resentful spirits as foreshadowing, the power of Koga Furukawa's resentful spirits will not be much smaller. The first seven days after his death, the Great Kanto Earthquake will be triggered, and then "The Demon Reborn" will drive the Hojo family to death. ! Whoever would stand on Hojo Ujiyasu's side must have something wrong with their brains. Needless to say, there will definitely be trouble in Kanto again. However, there is another question that interests Kira Manshomaru: "You did nothing with the Hattori ninjas and just watched the turmoil in Kanto?" "My subordinates and the ninjas also contributed to the spread of rumors. From Rishi to Ueno, all the ninjas under my command are trying their best to spread rumors" Hattori Masakiyoshi told the rumors he had made up one by one, such as Hojo Ujiyasu wanting to kill Ashikaga Haruji, and he himself was the Kanto Duke, and other unreliable rumors. There are many. Of course, there are also some high-level rumors. For example, Hojo Ujiyasu wants to follow the example of the former Hojo family and kill all the Minamoto samurai families in Kanto. He supports Umechiyo Omaru as the Kanto Duke. He himself wants to learn from the former Hojo family and take charge of his own power to unify the ten countries of Kanto. So, this is actually not a rumor. The Hojo family married their daughter to the Ashikaga Haru clan, and after the Kawagoe Night War, they forced the Ashikaga Haru clan to abolish the Ashikaga Fuji clan who was born to the late Mrs. Amanada. There was a plan to completely control the Furukawa clan. Moreover, ever since Hojo Ujitsuna changed the Miao character for Ise to Hojo, they have been working hard in Kyoto in the hope of getting a better name from the shogunate to rule Kanto. When Hojo Ujiyasu was victorious in the Kawagoe Night Battle, he was asked to fight He came up with the idea of ??being the governor of Kanto. In the past few years, he had given gifts to the officials in Kyoto, and he had always wanted to seek the position of governor of Kanto. However, the shogunate was not stupid and never agreed to the Hojo family's attempt. The plan to seize the Kanto governorship was widely spread in Kanto. Hojo Ujiyasu didn't think it was a bad idea at first. He always thought it was a good opportunity to intimidate the Kanto samurai family. Who would have thought that the death of Kanto Lord would happen again? , coupled with the coincidence of the Great Kanto Earthquake, combined with these half-true and half-false rumors, it hit the nail on the head. The two shit basins of "national traitors" and "demon" on the heads of the Hojo family will soon be taken. No more falling.
