Chapter 292: Town Rebellion (8)

Kawahara Keitai!

This is a complete nobody, even in a small place like Matsumoto Castle, Saigo Kanhisa knows nothing about this person. However, it seems that the merchants of Matsumoto Town paid such a huge price just to get his life for his life, which seems to be a very good deal.

However, when the merchants were willing to pay such a big price, Kawahara Keitai was no longer insignificant, which made Saigo Kanjiu feel a little tricky.

Because in this way, no matter whether Kawahara Keitai should die or not, the retainers will inevitably associate it with the donation of 500 stone rice, and once they have a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, this person's heart will be scattered. However, the 500 koku rice offered by Matsumoto Town was urgently needed at this time, and it might even change the direction of the situation, so Saigo Kanehisa decided to temporarily send Kanai Shintaro away and leave the problem to the lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu to decide.

"I will ask the lord for instructions on this matter, and I will give you an answer later." After sending Kanai Shintaro away, Saigo Kanhisa hurriedly went to return to the lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu......

Half an hour later, Matsumoto Castle, Goten.

"So, the merchants of Matsumoto Town spent so much money just to get the life of Kawahara Keitai? But it's just a small person!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu frowned deeply after listening to Saigo's report in the palace, and the reason given by the merchants was a bit unreasonable.

"Lord!" Saigo Kanhisa, who had been prepared for a long time, saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was a little puzzled and hurriedly explained: "According to my inquiry, a few days ago, the daughter of the owner of Inadaya, a powerful merchant in Honmachi, was insulted and killed, and this person is this Kawahara Keitai. I think that the merchants were worried about Kawahara Keitai's samurai status, so they did not directly redress their grievances to the lord, so the rise in the price of rice in Matsumoto Town makes sense, and Inadaya and the others may want to use this to coerce the lord to punish Kawahara Keiya!"

"Damn!" After listening to Saigo Kanhisa's explanation, Matsugami Yoshimitsu suddenly couldn't help but feel a sense of anger welling up in his heart, and slapped the tatami mat in front of him with hatred.

It turned out that Matsugami Yoshimitsu had issued admonitions to his retainers from the very beginning of the establishment of Matsumoto Castle, strictly prohibiting them from clashing with merchants in private, and later in order to make it easier to distinguish them, he even personally created a kind of group crest given to the merchants of Matsumoto Castle to identify themselves. All this is to make the newborn Matsumoto Town a self-help as soon as possible, but it is really unforgivable that someone dares to disobey his orders and cause such a big commotion under such strict orders!

After a long time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who had finally suppressed the anger in his heart, continued to make a decision to the waiting Saigo Kanhisa.

"In that case, let Kawahara Keitai go and pay for the death of the dead daughter of the rice field house! Just let those retainers who don't obey orders see the consequences of violating the laws of their own family!"

"Haha!" Saigo Kanjiu, who had expected this, asked: "Then do you want to execute Kawara Keitai Ming canonically to show the townspeople or secretly give him seppuku, and please make this section public?"

"What do you think about this?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu really didn't make a decision for a while, and these two things can be said to have their own pros and cons!

In these years, due to the constant wars, most samurai valued fame over life, after all, sometimes a good reputation is the job of several generations.

Therefore, if Kawahara Keitai is beheaded in public, then his samurai family will be completely lost, and it will be difficult for him to get ahead, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu will inevitably lose his reputation as a "benevolent lord", not to mention that the opposing side of this matter is just a miserable businessman.

However, if you just let Kawahara Keitai cut her stomach in private, this is a bit "light" for a samurai who forgets life and death, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve Matsugami Yoshimitsu's goal of killing chickens and police monkeys.

It was a difficult decision to make, which was the fundamental reason why Matsugami wanted to hear the opinion of Saigo Kanhisa, the representative of the samurai.

It is said that Saigo Guanjiu is now an old samurai who is nearly fifty years old, which is indeed rare among the wealthy samurai who lick the blood with the sword, so in recent years, he has become more and more kind to others. Not to mention that the ass decides the head, no matter how much Keitai Kawahara says, he is also a samurai, and it is not good to be too insulted.

Therefore, Xixiang Guanjiu, who had a plan in his heart, even returned to his own lord and said: "Lord, I think it is better to give him seppuku to protect the whole face." Although Kawahara Jingtai made a big mistake, after all, he was just a businesswoman, and if he was openly beheaded, it would be too harsh. Moreover, the family is about to start a war with Ono Heinobu and other traitors, and it may not be necessary that some undecided people will have other thoughts because of this. ”

"Okay, then give him seppuku. Guan Jiu, you have a prestige among the retainers, so you will handle this matter, but the reason for the death of Kawahara Keitai must be guarded by other retainers, and it will not be so easy to be forgiven next time!"

Matsugami Yoshimitsu doesn't have to think about presiding over justice and punishing Kawahara Keiyatsu canonically, so that the Kawahara family under his command will be finished, it is indeed too harsh, so as long as the purpose of warning everyone is achieved, it will be fine!

Good things have to be done, and after a moment of silence, Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked Saigo Kanhisa again: "Is there still a man in the Kawahara Keitai family who can inherit the family name?" The main hall did not want the name of the Kawahara family to be severed because of his sins alone. ”

Xixiang Guanjiu also had a little understanding of the matter of Kawahara Jingtai before, and at this time he just replied: "Lord, there is still a young son in Kawahara Jingtai's family, but at this time, it is difficult to support the family without strong maternal support. ”

"That's it!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu sighed and then instructed Saigo Kanhisa, "Since the main hall has decided to forgive Kawahara Keitai, then the main hall cannot sit idly by and watch the Kawahara family be cut off, and his young son, the main hall, will be entrusted to you to raise it." In the future, after this son is served, he will be the surname of the main hall, otherwise if the Kawahara family is cut off because of this family name, it will become the sin of the main hall. ”

"Haha. I will definitely train him to be a real man!" Saigo Kanjiu was very happy to accept this task, and when the young son of the Kawahara family grew up, he would be able to reliably help the Saigo family, not to mention that the lord had promised to let him join the small surname in the future.

So a storm slowly calmed down, but maybe this is just the beginning.

...................

On the other side, the house of the Kawahara family.

"The Kawahara family is grateful for the grace of the lord, and from now on, Kitaro will ask Saigo-sama to take care of it."

After calmly and painfully learning of his punishment from Saigo Kanjiu, Kawahara Keitai entrusted his young son to Saigo Kanhisa and calmly committed suicide, and the wrong person was Saigo Kanhisa who came to Xuandian to punish him.

Perhaps because he knew that his death was not honorable, this person did not have a single word of poetry left behind and calmly went to die.
