The news of Shinji Nitoki's fall to Ohno Heinobu was rushed to Matsugami Yoshimitsu by the Shinobi servants of Matsumoto Castle, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu immediately decided to reveal it in advance before everyone received the news. After all, it is impossible to hide the movement of Miki Castle so big, but by the time they learned about it, I was afraid that Ohno Heinobu had already had a way to deal with it, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu decided to expose it in advance and catch Ohno Heinobu off guard.

And this is also the first time that Matsugami Yoshimitsu has carried out a mission with the original Mochizuki Shinobu as the backbone and then selected several agile and dexterous people to carry out the mission, judging from the results, the ninja herd passed the news so quickly, Matsugami Yoshimitsu is still very satisfied, which also makes him secretly have a plan to expand the ninja herd.

Really!

At this time, the castle tower, including the Sogen-in Temple, was all as Matsugami Yoshimitsu had expected, and all of them were furious by this sudden news, although it was the norm for the samurai to go down to the top, but it was really rare for a lord like Ohno Heinobu to take the lord and retainer after the burial.

And Shinji Niki, who was originally in a-for-tat confrontation with Matsugami Yoshimitsu, was also speechless at this time, he understood that the reputation of the Nishiki family formed over hundreds of years was ruined in his own hands. People in the world have always only focused on the result and don't care about the reason, they will only be ashamed of the behavior of the Nishiki family to switch to his lord and don't care how much the Renmu family is persecuted.

"Hahahaha...... is Yoshimitsu just talking nonsense?"

Unlike Shinji Nitoki's panic, Ohno Heinobu defended to everyone as if he had suffered great humiliation at this time: "I wonder if there is evidence for Yoshimitsu-sama's words? Otherwise, can it also be said that Yoshimitsu-sama also colluded with a certain retainer here, or that Yoshimitsu-sama actually fell behind his back, the Shinzu family, the great enemy of his family. ”

"There is some truth in what Ono-sama said, and it would be ridiculous to assume that Lord Nishiki had fallen to the Ohno family just by relying on Yoshimitsu-sama's accusations!" ......

"Now that I think about it, the Renmu family is also a retainer of the family for several generations, and Lord Renmu has always been afraid that he will not do anything to betray the lord so soon!" ......

"Speaking of which, I've heard some things below, a few days ago, there were rumors that the Nishiki family had recently married the Ohno family, and Yoshimitsu had always been at odds with Ohno-sama, could it be that Nitoki-sama's move annoyed Yoshimitsu and summoned this disaster?" ......

After all, the Ono family has been in the Matsugami family for several generations, and its influence is not comparable even to Matsugami Yoshimitsu, and sure enough, as soon as Ono Heinobu finished speaking, some samurai who have always been good friends with the Ono family turned the limelight for him.

Seeing that there were so many retainers supporting him, Ohno Heinobu was also secretly proud, and the fact that Shinji Renki had surrendered was only known to some close people of the Ohno family, and he was not worried about what evidence Matsugami Yoshimitsu could come up with, and when the time came, this would definitely be a big damage to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's prestige among the retainers of the Matsugami family.

"Haha~~~, since Lord Ohno said so, then don't blame Yoshimitsu for not being emotional."

Matsugami Yoshimitsu seemed to have expected that Ohno Heinobu would not easily admit this in front of everyone, and at this time, seeing that he was still stubborn, he sneered and said: "Since Ono-sama thinks that what he said below is not true, then there is one thing I want to ask Ohno-sama and Nishiki-sama about below." I don't know why Ohno-sama's brother-in-law (brother-in-law) Kawai Kiyoshi led his troops to be stationed in Miki Castle, you must know that this Kawai-sama is not only the righteous brother of Ohno-sama or the old man of the Ono family's Pudai family! ”

The samurai have always attached great importance to their own territory, and even the head of the family himself cannot station troops in the territory of the retainer without a special reason, after all, the basis of the retainers' loyalty to the head of the family is the recognition and protection of the lord of the family.

If the head of the family is still like this, then it is not uncommon for the retainers who originally belonged to the same family to become enemies of life and death because of territorial issues, and even extend the disaster to the main family, so it is not uncommon for Shinji Renki to surrender to Ohno Heinobu It is impossible for the people of the Ohno family to garrison in their own territory, Miki Castle.

"How did these Matsugami Yoshimitsu know, could it be that there are spies from Matsumoto Castle in the family?"

Ohno Heinobu never thought that Matsugami Yoshimitsu would know so clearly what happened in Miki City, especially that he could know everything that happened in Miki City so early, so that he was so caught off guard, which couldn't help but make Ohno Heinobu, who was originally very calm, both a little surprised and a little suspicious.

However, although Ohno Heinobu is a military general, he has not had any experience in political disputes for so many years in the Ohno family, and at this time he knows that he can only die and refuse to admit it, otherwise I am afraid that it will hinder the reputation of the Ohno family.

"I can't imagine that Yoshimitsu-sama would know so clearly about the affairs of my Ohno family and the Nishiki family!" Regarding Matsugami Yoshimitsu's accusation, Ono Heinobu suddenly said with a mocking face, as if what Matsugami Yoshimitsu said was not true.

After that, Ohno Heinobu took the initiative to admit to the people in the castle tower: "That's right! Yoshimitsu-sama is right, it is true that Kawai Kiyoshi was asked to help the Nishiki family defend the city, but other than that, there is no status of the lord between Lord Nishiki and Zaixia.

Originally, some private matters between the Ohno family and the Nishiki family were unwilling to affect the funeral of the lord because of this, but Yoshimitsu-sama had doubts about Zai Xia and Nishiki-sama, so Zaixia no longer concealed them, lest Nishiki-sama suffer injustice.

In fact, not long after Yoshiyoko died in battle, the adopted son of the Nishiki family, Lord Nobutaha Nishiki, also passed away, and then in order to inherit the Nishiki family, Lord Nobuji Hitoki recruited his eldest son, Nobuyoshi Ohno, to inherit the family business of the Nishiki family.

As for the fact that the Ohno family stationed troops in Miki Castle, it was because the Katayama and Umedo families, which were adjacent to the main family, had recently been quite suspicious because of the death of the lord, so Nishiki Daishi borrowed troops from Zai to help defend Miki Castle. I don't want to let this thing that has not been fully confirmed affect the stability of my family, but since Yoshimitsu-sama mentioned it today, I will take the opportunity to make it clear to everyone so as not to be defenseless in the future. ”

Ohno's excuse is very sufficient, and it is reasonable to help the in-laws defend, but although the Matsukami family is small, the political skills of the retainers of the Matsukami family are no worse than those of those who are in a powerful feudal country.

Therefore, they don't believe in the excuse that Ohno Heinobu helped the Nishiki family defend, and the son who inherited the name of another family has nothing to do with his own family anymore, so how can he be so defenseless?

Unless this is because the marriage between the Ohno family and the Renmu family is not equal, this Ohno Nobusha was forcibly stuffed into the Nishiki family by the Ohno family as the heir, but how can anyone dare to question this in the face of the Ono family's Jiwei.
