In the castle tower of Songshang Castle, Chongyuan Yuan took the reprimand written by the long chain letter and unfolded it and praised: "Lord Long Chain is really worthy of being called the first wise man of the family!" This pleadings not only describe the kindness of the family to the retainers and the loyalty that the retainers should repay the family, but also the majesty of being a master and the punishment for disobedience.

At the end of the last pleading, it is even more clear that Matsumoto Castle's support for the family is to deter the retainers who disobey the family, which can be described as reasonable, benevolent, righteous, and majestic! All right! The content of the reprimand is so decided, and the next thing to issue the reprimand to Ohno Heinobu and the others will also be handed over to Lord Long Chain!"

After Chongyuan Yuan saw the reprimand written by the long chain letter, he was ready to hand it back to the long chain letter and ordered him to complete the matter of issuing the reprimand, and the long chain letter saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully took the reprimand from the hands of Chongyuan Academy.

Later, the long chain letter, who returned to its original position, put the rebuke on the seam of his chest before he said: "Lord Chongyuanyuan don't worry, this matter can be handed over to me by the long chain letter to complete!" I wonder if Lord Chongyuanyuan has anything else to show? If not, then I will retire first. ”

"For the time being, Mrs. Ben doesn't have anything else to do, in that case, then Lord Long Chain, please go first."

"Haha, retire next." After pondering for a while, Chongyuanin couldn't think of anything anymore, so he approved the long chain letter's request to retreat, and after the long chain letter was allowed to do so, he quickly left the castle tower of Matsugami Castle.

"Samaru!" Chongyuanyuan, who had closed his eyes and thought about it not long after Changlianxin left, suddenly spoke: "Continue to pay attention to the movements of the Changlian family, but if there is no major matter in the future, there is no need to report it to Mrs. Ben." ”

"Yes, Lord Chongyuanin." A response came from nowhere, claiming yes, and no other sound was heard in the castle tower.

"It seems that this long chain letter is currently loyal to Mrs. Ben and Wusanmaru, and the monitoring of the long chain family can also be relaxed a little, so as not to be dissatisfied after he finds out, but the necessary control of people's hearts is still indispensable. ......

However, what the long chain letter said today is also right, as long as the two parties of Ono Castle and Matsumoto Castle can get the support of one of them, then the Matsugami family will be as stable as Mount Tai. However, the lord of Ohno Castle, Ohno Hiranobu, has not yet come to Matsugami Castle to pay homage, and his mind is really unpredictable, and it seems that Mrs. Ben has to woo the respectful Matsugami Yoshimitsu at present......"

In the castle tower, everything was arranged, and Chongyuanin began to whisper while knocking on the folding fan in his hand to think about the current situation of the Matsugami family. In the end, when she thought of Matsumoto Castle Lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu, she slammed the folding fan in her hand, and it seemed that the current head of the Matsugami family seemed to have made some kind of decision.

On the other side, the roof of the long chain house.

After receiving orders from the castle tower of Matsugami Castle to leave, Nagashinobu was hurriedly preparing to return to his residence, and saw his eldest son, Nagasunhei, waiting at the gate.

This made Changlianxin suddenly feel shocked, you must know that the father and son of the Wa Kingdom do not pay attention to any personal welcome gifts. Isn't something going on again? Long Chain Letter couldn't help but start worrying.

"Heishichiro, what's going on? What's going on at home?" The worried Changlianxin hurriedly walked to the eldest son and asked.

Seeing his father's return, Changlianping was also relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Father, Yano Nobuyoshi of the Yano family visited you at home today, and now you are waiting in the side hall." ”

"What? Nobuyoshi Yano?"

Suddenly, the long chain letter frowned, although the Yano family is a small retainer with only two or three hundred stone high under the Matsugami family, but this Yano family is not just a vassal of the Matsugami family.

In the past, when the Matsugami family was in charge of the family, the first master and his younger brother His Royal Highness Yoshira competed for the position of the head of the Matsugami family. After the victory of Yoshinoko, Yoshihei Gong let him enter the Yano family, which was the heir of the extinct heir, in order to settle his second son, His Royal Highness Yoshira, which is the origin of the Goichione Yano family, a branch of the Matsugami family. However, in the past, this Yanokie was not liked by the pre-school practice because of the meager stone high, so he has never been cautious and not noticed.

"What is the purpose of the Yanoya visiting him at this time? Didn't you see that the young master of the main family was young and had some thoughts. ”

As soon as the long chain letter thought of some kind of possibility, he couldn't help frowning deeply, it is not a rare thing for the branch of the Warring States family to replace the main family, and now that the Matsugami family is the last heir, how can the young young master of Gosanmaru be the opponent of Yano Nobuyoshi.

"Father!" Seeing that Changlianxin had a solemn face, Changlian couldn't help but step forward and said, "Isn't it Yano Nobuyoshi's visit that made my father unhappy?" If that's the case, Heishiro will send him away if he wants to share it for his father. ”

"No, for the sake of my father, let's go and see Nobuyoshi Yano! After all, the Yano family is the father of the lord's royal family, and it's really not easy to slack off, and besides, the Yano family is not so insignificant at this time!"

Eventually, the long-chain shin decided to meet the yano nobuyoshi. Yanoma, who has always kept a low profile, must have a plan to visit him at this cusp, so he might as well meet him to see his heart.

At this time, in the main hall of the Nagachain family, the young master of the Yano family, Yano Nobuyoshi, was looking at the surrounding scenery with anxious and greedy eyes.

The delicate and beautiful screens, the white paper doors, the faint incense of the stove, and the soft and warm tatami on the ground in the main hall of the long chain house all made Yano Nobuyoshi feel intoxicated and greedy.

These things...... These things will one day be in his possession of all of them.

No! I, Yano Nobuyoshi, will definitely have something more noble and luxurious than these, and only in this way can I be worthy of the status of the head of the Matsukami family at the end of the year.

That's right! I, Nobuyoshi Yano, want to be the new head of the Matsukami family! The position of head of the family was originally taken away by Matsugami Yoshiyuki from his grandfather Yoshirako, and now it is time for them to return it.

When the greed and ambition in Nobuyoshi's heart swelled to the point that it was difficult to suppress, for no reason, an unquenchable anger ignited in his heart. Especially when he thought of the dilapidated thatched hut of the Yano family and the meager stone high Yano Nobuyoshi, the dissatisfaction in his heart became more and more high, how could the descendants of the same Matsugami family have such a vastly different difference. This kind of dissatisfaction is not new to now, as early as the moment when Yano Nobuyoshi Motofu was ambitious, he vowed to take back everything that the Matsugami clan had to take. Of course, before Matsugami Yoshiyuki died in battle, Yano Nobuyoshi could only suppress the ambition in his heart all the time, otherwise the samurai family was not a place that paid attention to warmth.

But now, Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son died in battle, and everything is starting to be different. Nobuyoshi Yano knew that his opportunity had come, and his chance to regain the position of head of the family that his grandfather Yoshihei had lost. ......
