The efficiency of the ninja's actions is naturally not comparable to that of the officials of the Kawa Country, especially the Ghost Lantern Clan's recent fierce battles, although the attrition is serious, but the average strength of the ninjas in the clan and the awareness of the battlefield have also been greatly improved.

As the ninjas of the Ghost Lantern Clan were sent to the city in large numbers to maintain order, a large number of thugs who took advantage of the panic in the city were immediately bloodily suppressed, and all of them were cut off and hung on the streets of the city for deterrence.

Sure enough, this move of the Ghost Lantern Clan immediately stabilized the situation in the city. Many civilians and big families have begun to shut up when they see such brutal methods, in order to prevent disasters from coming to the door.

After the situation in the city was initially brought under control, the Ghost Lantern clan immediately began to seal down all the grain stores in the city and forcibly requisition all the grain as war reserves. As for those grain merchants, those who are interested, the ghost lantern clan will also give some silver money as a sign of redemption. Those who are not interested in it were all cut off on the spot, and the whole family was killed.

The world is still an aberrated agricultural society in essence, and the position of food in the society is naturally extremely important. And those who can do the grain business, no matter what they look like, must have a deep background.

But even so, the Ghost Lantern clan did not care about the meaning of those grain merchants in the background, and whenever they caught the slightest inappropriateness, there was only one word: kill!

And such an unscrupulous act naturally caused dissatisfaction in the hearts of all parties.

……

First of all, there are the many great clans in the city.

"Your Highness, Lord Cangjun asks to see you. ”

In the main hall, the attendants reported this to the daimyo of Kawanokuni.

The daimyo of Kawanokuni showed a helpless look on his face, and although he didn't want to see the other party in his heart, he finally said: "Then let him in, presumably he won't leave if he doesn't see me." ”

The waiter should be, and then he went out to summon the comer.

A moment later, a man of medium stature dressed in the official uniform of the country of Kawanoku came in from outside the hall.

After the man entered the hall, he came to the daimyo, first saluted the daimyo, and then knelt down on one knee, held his head high, and said to the daimyo of the country of Sichuan: "Your Highness, Weichen came to see His Highness this time, but he wanted to report the ghost lamp clan to His Highness, and the ghost lamp clan really has a disobedient heart to His Highness. ”

The daimyo of Kawanokuni made a look of surprise on his face, hurriedly stepped forward, personally helped the person in front of him, and asked aloud, "Why do you say this?"

The man stood up, stood in front of the Daimyo of the Kawanokuni, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, now the Ghost Lantern clan is in charge of the defense of the city, although it has suppressed the chaos in the city for a while, but at the same time, it has also slaughtered in the city, so that the people in the city dare not speak out. They only know that His Highness authorized them to take charge of the city's defense, but they don't know that the Ghost Lantern clan is actually deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and deliberately ignoring His Highness's love for the people. ”

The daimyo of Kawanokuni originally thought that this person had come to see him because his family had suffered losses in the Ghost Lantern Clan's Qingcheng operation, but now when he heard this, his face couldn't help but become serious, and he said to the other party solemnly, "Go on." ”

Na Cangjun nodded, and continued to the daimyo of the country of Sichuan: "Your Highness, this is only a long-term disadvantage, and it will not be visible for a while. But now, there is still a huge drawback related to the safety of His Highness, and His Highness has not yet noticed it. ”

Without waiting for the daimyo to answer, Cangjun continued: "Although our country is large, its national strength is weak, and it has been despised by other countries for a long time, and it has never cultivated its own ninja village. Therefore, after the Ghost Lantern clan came here to express their desire to establish a ninja village in our country, although some people in the country were unhappy, people of insight all praised His Highness's wisdom in his decision, and praised the drummers for our country to have its own ninja village. However, please think about it, is the Ghost Lantern Clan really worthy of His Highness's trust?"

In fact, the most enthusiastic about the Oni Lantern clan's establishment of a ninja village in Kawanokuni was the Daimyo of Kawanokuni himself. On the contrary, the nobles below are all unhappy that the Ghost Lantern clan will inevitably occupy a large amount of financial expenses after coming here.

The two of them were still waiting to talk, but at this time, the waiter spread the word outside, saying that the patriarch of the Ghost Lantern clan had come to see the daimyo and asked the daimyo to receive him.

Now the ghost lamp Hideki can be said to control all the military forces in the city, in the past, the daimyo of the country of Sichuan may not feel anything, but after the words of the official named Cangjun, at this time, he began to feel that this was very inappropriate, and even a trace of jealousy of the ghost lamp clan was born in his heart.

However, since the ghost lamp Yingshu asked to see him, the daimyo didn't want him to wait outside, so he said to Na Cangjun first: "You avoid waiting for a while, and then continue to listen to you after the main hall receives the ghost lamp Yingshu." ”

After speaking, he asked the waiter to summon the ghost lamp Yingshu to come in, and Cangjun should also retreat.

In less than a moment, Eiki Ghost Lantern was led by the attendant to this place.

Ever since the Oni Lantern clan took over the defense of Kukawa Castle, Hideki Oni Lantern has always been dressed in a ninja battle suit, and it is not surprising that he came to see the Daimyo at this moment.

Hideki Ghost Lantern came to the daimyo, first saluted the daimyo respectfully, and then took out a scroll from his bosom, held it in both hands and presented it to the daimyo, and said: "Your Highness, this is a new batch of lists, and the people on the list are all treacherous people who ignore His Highness's edicts, or secretly send people out of the city, or buy and sell grain privately. ”

At this time, those who can still afford to send people out of the city or sell food privately must be the big clans in Kugawa City. Even, it must not be an ordinary family, they are all the top families in the country of Sichuan that have been inherited for thousands of years.

Therefore, when the daimyo looked through the scrolls and looked at the names marked with "Verdict Recommendation: Kill" on the scrolls, his heart also trembled. Even if these families no longer break the law and discipline, they themselves are the cornerstone of the Daimyo's maintenance of rule over the country of Kawanoku, and if the Oni Lantern clan kills them all, even if they survive the crisis of the rain ninja going south, there will probably be a big mess in the country.

Looking at the ghost lamp Hideki standing in front of him with a face full of respect, the daimyo pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "These people disregard the law of the country, and they should be punished heavily, but in the eyes of the main hall, is the punishment proposed by the nobles too much...... After a while. ”

Most of the gang forces and businessmen in the city that the Ghost Lantern clan had killed before, although these people were the peripheral strength of each big family, they were not the core interests after all. Therefore, although they were extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Ghost Lantern Clan, they did not attack the Ghost Lantern Clan.

But what they didn't expect was that they didn't do anything to the Ghost Lantern Clan, but the Ghost Lantern Clan thought about dealing with them first.
