Chapter 812: Trial
"Nani?Requisition order?Tanaka family headquarters destroyed again?Cabinet Office and Tanaka family at war?"
This news one by one, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, made Ito Hiroyasu's whole person dizzy.
With a little confusion in his head and a somewhat confused look, Ito Hirokan muttered to himself:
"What's going on, what's going on? Why is there a fight? Why is it that the Tanaka family is fighting with the Cabinet Office? What the hell is going on?"
"The head of the Ito family, the head of the Ito family?"
This news was really too big for Ito Hiroyasu, who was originally in the plan of him and Lu You, to raid the Muto family, and let the people of the Cabinet Office, after being successfully surrounded by the Muto family, should have provoked a conflict between them.
But now, it was actually the Tanaka family who preemptively started a war with the Cabinet Office.
So, the question is, who are the mysterious people who raided the Tanaka family headquarters, are they Lu You, and if so, why did Lu You do this?
With a little confusion in his head, Ito Hiroyasu called him several times in a row, and then came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to the squad leader Oda standing in front of him:
"Oh, I'm sorry, Captain Oda, I accidentally got distracted just now. ”
"Hehe, it's fine. ”
Just when Ito Hiroyasu came back to his senses, the doubts in the eyes of the squad leader Oda also disappeared in a flash. Slowly handing over the requisition order in his hand, he looked at Ito Hiroyasu in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "Then, Ito family master, go on." ”
"Baga, these Cabinet Office red deer. ”
Stretched out his hand to take the requisition order, watched the squad leader Oda turn away, and then lowered his head, looking at the content of the requisition order, Ito Hiroyasu's face couldn't help but get darker and darker.
"Head of the house!"
Just when his face turned black and he cursed angrily, as the squad leader Oda turned to leave, the old butler of the Ito family, as if he knew that the head of the family, Ito Bokang, had something to ask him, walked in slowly, stood in front of him, bent down his eyes, and said respectfully.
"Well, old butler. ”
With the experience of the last time, I know how humble I am, this old butler in the Ito family, although he has deep qualifications and unfathomable cultivation, he always remembers his identity as a butler and never crosses the line, and he will never sit down.
So Ito Hirokan was not reluctant, just looked at him, and said with some curiosity: "What's going on? ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Hearing Ito Bokang's words, the old butler still lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and began to explain lightly.
"What? The Cabinet Office and the Muto family have clashed, and the Tanaka family headquarters has been attacked by mysterious people, and a fierce battle has broken out between the two sides?"
The old butler's speed of speech was not too fast, and from last night to today, there were too many incidents, so it took a lot of effort to explain it all.
And after listening to the description of the old butler, Ito Bokang couldn't help it, and said with some surprise.
"Yes, master!"
Ito Bokang's expression was very shocked, but the old butler's expression was still very calm, and he responded lightly.
"Yaga, what the hell is going on?"
After listening to the old butler's description, Ito Hirokan basically knew what was going on, but in order to prevent Lu You and them from being discovered, he still pretended not to know and said with a frown.
"So, old butler, what do you think of this requisition order?"
Directly threw the requisition order from the Cabinet Office in his hand to the old butler standing in front of him, Ito Boyasu's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Baga, two hundred family powerhouses, why didn't Kondo Yokokawa come to grab it directly?"
"Our Ito family, since it was raided a month ago, suffered heavy losses, and now there are only how many strong families left, and they are actually going to recruit our Ito family in one go, two hundred strong family members, isn't this a salary from the bottom of the kettle?"
"Those red deer in the Cabinet Office are really getting more and more excessive, and this is to take this opportunity to exterminate our family?"
"The head of the family, please calm his anger, I'm afraid this is just a means of the Cabinet Office. ”
It is worthy of being an old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years, as soon as the old housekeeper opened his mouth, he directly guessed the intention of the Cabinet Office, and said lightly: "Within one day, the Cabinet Office has successively clashed with the two major families of Muto and Tanaka. ”
"It stands to reason that at this time, the Cabinet Office should woo our Ito family and let us help contain the Muto family. Not only should we not weaken the Ito family, but we must strengthen it. ”
"But now, instead of strengthening us, the Cabinet Office has done the opposite, ignoring our Ito family, which has been greatly damaged, and wants to transfer our Ito family, two hundred strong people, in one go, there must be only one reason for this. ”
"What is the reason?"
Hearing the old housekeeper talk about this, Ito Bokang couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Please teach the old housekeeper." ”
"Hehe, I don't dare to teach it, it's just a little foolish opinion of the old slave. ”
Hearing Ito Bokang's words, the old butler smiled slightly, and still said unhurriedly: "The old slave thinks that the reason why the Cabinet Office's actions are so abnormal is probably because they are already suspicious of our Ito family. ”
"What?"
Ito Bokang was really frightened this time, and almost jumped up directly from the sofa, Ito Bokang easily stabilized his emotions, looked at the old housekeeper in front of him, and hurriedly said:
"What do you mean, old butler?
"Hehe, it's practical, I don't need to explain it. ”
Seeing Ito Bokang's reaction, the old housekeeper didn't even raise his eyelids, but said lightly:
"The head of the family is extremely smart, and the people in the Cabinet Office are not stupid. For more than two months, we have been secretly stirring up the situation, and we have done it very secretly, and we have not been found by the Cabinet Office and the other two major families. ”
"But they are not stupid, although they can't find out the specific situation, but as long as they push back, the imperial martial arts world is in chaos, and which one has benefited the most, they can easily guess who is behind the scenes. ”
"Well, old butler, you're right, I was negligent. ”
Hearing the old butler's words, Ito Bokang slapped his head suddenly, suddenly realized, and then hurriedly said: "So, please advise the old butler, since it has been discovered, how should we deal with it?"
"Hehe, the head of the family has already made up his mind for a long time, since this is the case, why bother asking the old slave again. ”
Ito Bokang's question, but the old butler did not answer him, but raised his head to look at him, and said with burning eyes.
"Huh?"
was made a little uncomfortable by the abnormal performance of the old housekeeper. All along, the old butler has been a gentle and humble appearance with low eyebrows and bowed head, and Ito Hiroyasu has long been accustomed to his cloudy eyes, like an ordinary old man.
Now that he suddenly saw the light in the old butler's eyes, Ito suddenly remembered that on that day more than two months ago, he had just broken an arm and staggered back to the family, and the old butler looked at him.
Knowing in his heart that this old butler was probably testing him again this time, Ito Bokang gritted his teeth violently and said viciously: "Old butler, immediately requisition the order, pass it on, and select qualified strong people from all over the family to cooperate with the Cabinet Office." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
This order of Ito Hiroyasu is really profound. Originally, there were two hundred strong people in the family, and there was no need to go through such a lot of trouble at all, since the last time the family headquarters was raided, the strong people who were now stationed near the new headquarters were far more than this number, if they really wanted to follow the order, they could be directly drawn from among them.
However, Ito Bokang ordered the old housekeeper to select from the family, which is meaningful.
What he meant by doing this was nothing more than wanting to stall for time, refusing to carry out the orders of the Cabinet Office, and not wanting to directly tear his face with the Cabinet Office.
Selection and selection, a set of procedures to go down, as little as three to five days, as much as three or five months, all possible.
By the time the two hundred strong men are really selected after complicated procedures such as audition and re-election, I am afraid that this melee in the martial arts world of the Japanese Kingdom will have long since died down, and the situation will become clear again.
Ito Bokang's method is nothing more than a procrastination trick.
Seemingly very satisfied with his answer, the corners of the old butler's mouth showed a faint smile, and he bent down and said respectfully: "Hi, family master." ”
"The old slave understands that there are only two hundred strong family members, and the number is huge, and it is not possible to gather them in a while. ”
"It's okay, old butler, you do your best, the Cabinet Office, I will naturally explain. ”
Now that he has made up his mind, if he does not bird the order of the Cabinet Office, Ito Hiroyasu naturally will not really take it seriously. Seeing the smile on the corner of the old housekeeper's mouth, he knew that this time, he had passed the old housekeeper's test again.
The mood is very beautiful, and Ito Hiroyasu's tone is also more respectful, and he said with a smile.
"Yes, master, the old slave understands. ”
And Ito Bokang was in a beautiful mood, and the old butler in front of him was also very pleased. As if from Ito Hirokan's actions, seeing the old master Ito Hirofumi, the decisive killing and scolding Fang Xuan's demeanor, the old butler was secretly glad in his heart, the decision he made a few months ago to protect the young master and not the young master was really very wise and wise.
Lao Huai was relieved, and the old housekeeper's attitude towards the head of the family, Ito Bokang, was also more respectful, and replied respectfully.
