Chapter 11: The Frustrated Samurai

Ino Saburo Heisuke was once a low-ranking samurai of the Kamiki family. Although Yu Lu is a little meager, the life of the family is also passable. But since the Kamiki family was wiped out by the Matsugami family, everything has changed. In the past, Heisuke Ino was deprived of his proudest samurai status, and the life of the Ino family suddenly fell to the bottom. They have lost not only the meager fortune they depend on for their livelihood, but also the dignity of being a samurai family. You must know that the social status of the samurai is very high.

In order to survive, Ino Saburo Heisuke had to go to the rice merchant Kawada Nobukazu, whom he had always looked down on, to carry rice to support his family. Nobuyuki Kawada was a wealthy businessman. However, his social status was low, and Kawada Nobukazu was once humiliated by a samurai. Therefore, he hated the samurai very much. The reason he recruited Heisuke Ino was just to humiliate the former samurai.

"Yo, isn't this our Heisuke-sama? Why are you carrying rice today? Aren't you a samurai?" Kawada Shinkazu said knowingly when he saw Heisuke Ino carrying rice.

"That's right, Ino-sama. Aren't you a noble samurai? How can you carry rice? By the way, what about your katana? It can't be that I forgot to bring it! Look at you like this. I'm Taro more like a samurai than you! At least I have a knife!" Kawada Munekazu's little servant Mataro also laughed. As he spoke, he also raised the sword in his hand.

"You don't know about it, you don't know. Our Heisuke-sama is no longer a samurai. His katana had long been sold to traveling merchants, and I heard that he was so poor that his wife had come out to work as a washerwoman. Kawada Zong and Yin Yang said angrily.

Listening to their words, Heisuke Ino looked at Kawada Munekazu and his little servant like a breath of fire, and his hands clutched the rice bag he was carrying tightly. Munekazu Kawada was shocked when he saw Heisuke Ino.

"Why, you still can't beat me. Don't forget that you're no longer a samurai. I, Kawada, am not afraid of you. Kawada Shinkazu said with some inwardness.

Yes, I'm no longer a samurai. It's important to keep the job, the garden has worked hard enough, and I can't trouble her anymore. Heisuke Ino sighed inwardly, his clenched fists seemed to loosen a little. He didn't say a word, ready to bypass Kawada Shinji. Kawada Nobukazu was even more proud when he saw that Heisuke Ino didn't dare to resist, and he tied him down with a kick while Heisuke Ino was not paying attention. Rice was scattered all over the ground.

"Oh, what is wrong with Ino-sama. Why do you lie on your stomach like a dog? Your God, Uncle Kawada, I am happy, and these Yongle coins will be rewarded to you. As he spoke, Kawada sprinkled a few Yongle coins on Heisuke Ino's face.

Ino Hirao's face was bruised. As a samurai, he didn't want to and didn't want to pick up these Yongle coins, but when he thought of his hungry wife and children, he was still ready to pick up these Yongle coins. When Heisuke Ino reached out to pick up the money, one foot stepped on his hand and spun around.

"Alas, my feet slipped. Hahaha. The owner of that foot, Nobukazu Kawada, left with a smile. Heisuke Ino hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the Yongle coins and limped home. After all, life goes on.

"Heisuke-sama, what's wrong with your leg? How do you walk with a limp? Seeing her husband limping back, Ino Heisuke's wife Sonoko asked with some concern.

"It's fine, I just accidentally fell. Men are women's careless. Heisuke Ino said to the garden as if he didn't care.

"Yes, yes." Although I felt that something was wrong, in order to save my husband's face, the garden did not break the casserole and asked to the end.

"Oh, that's right. Ono-sama came to you today, and seeing that you were not in him, he asked you to go to him tomorrow. Yuan Zi said. Ono-sama, he must have something urgent to find me. I'll go see him now. These Yongle coins are my wages today, you can collect them. Heisuke Ino said and handed over the Yongle money to his wife.

"Hi. Come back early. The garden said. Heisuke Ino answered the call and rushed to Ono's house.

The Ono master that Heisuke Ino is going to visit is named Ono Shohei, and he turned out to be a high-ranking samurai of the Shenmu family, and Heisuke Ino took good care of him. Soon Heisuke Ino rushed to Ono's house.

"Heisuke, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to come back tomorrow? Ono Shohei said with some joy and surprise when he saw Heisuke Ino.

"Ono-sama invited me, how dare Heisuke postpone. As soon as I heard the news from the mouth, I rushed here. Heisuke Ino said with some sincerity.

"Haha, I knew that you, Saburo Ino Heisuke, were a reliable person. Come in, Mikawa and Kinoshita are there too. Shohei Ono said.

"Oh." Heisuke Ino was a little surprised. Then they entered Ono's house.

"Heisuke, this katana is yours." After entering the house, Ono Shohei took out a katana and handed it to Heisuke Ino.

"Ah, that's my saber. I've already sold him to the Traveling Merchant, though. Heisuke Ino said with some confusion.

"Ono-sama saw that the traveling merchant was selling this knife, and he recognized it as your knife and immediately bought it back. After all, we are about to do a big thing and need your help, how can you not have a knife? Seeing this, Mikawa said.

"Big deal, what's big deal?" Heisuke Ino said with some confusion.

"Let me tell you. Ino, tell me how you've been doing since you lost your status as a samurai? Ono asked.

"This is not hidden from Ono-sama. I might as well be dead now, and the businessmen who used to see me nodding and bowing now dare to bully me. Heisuke Ino said bitterly.

"Who's to say it isn't? Ever since I lost my samurai status, I don't have a fortune. My wife also went back to her parents' house a few days ago. Mikawa also complained.

"Then Heisuke, do you want revenge." Shohei Ono continued.

"Revenge, how to get revenge? Who to get revenge on? Heisuke Ino wondered.

"Heisuke, the reason why we lost our samurai status and lost our Yulu is that we are living so miserably. It's all caused by Matsugami Yoshimi. If he hadn't killed the lord. Do you think we're going to be so miserable? I've contacted several samurai of the Genshin Wood family. We are ready to assassinate him together to avenge the Lord's revenge. Shohei Ono explained.

"But Matsugami Yoshimitsu is brave and brave, and there is a lord of one side. There must be someone around to protect you. How could we assassinate it? Heisuke Ino asked.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. I've already contacted Miss Nana, the princess of the Kamiki family. She is now deeply favored by Yoshimitsu Matsugami. Only if we work together inside and outside, we will succeed. Pingsuke, do you want to join? Ono asked.

"Of course I ......." Heisuke Ino certainly wanted to join Ono in their action. But when he said the words, he remembered his wife, and Yuanzi swallowed again. He couldn't leave the garden unsupported. Heisuke Ino continued after making up his mind in his heart. "Of course I didn't attend. I've been, I'm not a samurai anymore. With that, he returned the katana.

"Coward, coward." Kinoshita scolded.

Heisuke Ino was unmoved, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stop. How could a samurai not have a sword? Whatever you decide, take this knife away. Ono gave him the katana and let him go. Heisuke Ino's lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything, took the knife, and limped away step by step.

Heisuke Ino's life is unsatisfactory and helpless, but where is the samurai who are frustrated by the collapse of the Kamiki family. So the resentment against Matsugami Yoshimitsu is accumulating like this, waiting for the day when it explodes.
