On the second day, one of Shinjin Mitsu's maids prepared washing things according to the custom to serve Shinjin Mitsu You's washing.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Haven't woken up yet? The Pavilion Master slept really long today!" The maid couldn't help but feel very strange after shouting several times outside the house in Shinjin Guangyu and getting no response. You must know when Mrs. Yuno left last night. I specially asked her to come to serve the hall master to wash up later, and in order not to affect the hall owner's rest, she was an hour later than in the past.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency." After the maid snorted a few more times in the new Jinguang house to no avail, she opened the door of the inner room of the new Jinguang residence and walked in by herself. This has happened a few times in the past, so it's not a transgression.

Unexpectedly, just as the maid walked next to Shinjin Guangyou and was about to wake him up to wash, she suddenly said, "Ah~~~." He screamed, and all the toiletries in his hands fell to the ground. It turned out that at this time, Shinjin Guang's eyes were angry, and he was lying motionless on the tatami with a blue head, and his appearance was very terrifying, like a demon.

After a long time, the maid trembled and reached out to test Shinjin Mitsu's breath. This is really a redundant thing, and there is no doubt that Shinjin Mitsu has been dead for a long time. The maid was timid and hurriedly shouted, "It's not good, it's not good." The owner of the museum has gone to the country of Buddhism. "Ran out of the residence of Shinjin Guang.

"What."

"Really?"

"Quickly inform Mrs. Yuno and His Highness Yusada." With the maid's continuous shouting, the originally calm Xinjin Pavilion suddenly became chaotic. The subordinates, the maids did not dare to be self-conscious, and they hurriedly reported the matter to Mrs. Yuno and Yusada Shintsu. ......

Shinjin Mitsu has a residence inside.

"Your Excellency!"

"Father!" After receiving the report, Mrs. Yuno and Shintsu Yuzhen hurried to Shintsu Mitsuari's residence. As soon as they entered the house, they let out two cries of sorrow in succession, and then threw themselves next to the corpse of Shinjin Guangyu and wept.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Yuno asked, hiding her sadness. "Who among you found out that the Pavilion Master had died?"

The maids were flustered again when they heard this, and after a long while, a maid came out tremblingly and said. "Hui, Madame Hui. It was the slave who first discovered that the owner of the pavilion had died. ”

Mrs. Yuno didn't look at the maid and said coldly. "If you kill her, let her go to the Buddha Kingdom to serve the Pavilion Master."

"Haha." Several of the servants in the house got the order and prepared to drag the maid out and kill her.

The maid waited until she was about to be dragged out before she came to her senses and hurriedly shouted. "Mrs. Yuno, the death of the hall owner has nothing to do with the slave. The owner of the hall looks like he's been poisoned, and he's been poisoned. ”

Mrs. Yuno wanted to execute the maid without asking anything, just to warn the subordinates and maids of the Shintsukan to refrain from speculating about the cause of Shintsu Mitsuyu's death. At this time, this maid dared to say that Shinjin Mitsu had died of poisoning, and Mrs. Yuno was immediately furious when she heard it. She shouted in a shrill voice. "Cover her mouth. Don't let her talk nonsense, lest it disturb the peace of the owner. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Yuno." After listening to Mrs. Yuno's order, several of the servants who dragged the maid hurriedly covered the maid's mouth and dragged her out of the house. Then, the maid only had time to say "Ah~~~." He was slashed to death with a scream.

Soon the subordinates came with the heads of the maids and Mrs. Youno to inspect them, and the subordinates and maids around them were terrified and trembling. All of this was seen by Madame Yuno, and she glanced at the maid's head with satisfaction and asked the servants to retreat.

Then Mrs. Yuno persuaded Shintsu Yusada, who was in pain. "Youzhen, now is not the time to be sad. At present, there are only you among the descendants of the Shinjin clan in the Shinjin Pavilion, and the Shinjin family still needs you to preside over the overall situation. ”

Shintsu Yuzhen knew that Mrs. Yuno was going to support herself to become the head of the Shintsu family, so he forcibly held back the joy in his heart and pretended to be sad and said. "For the sake of the family business of the Xinjin family, everything is decided by my mother."

"So good, very good." Mrs. Yuno said with a smile. ......

In the afternoon of the same day, all the retainers of the Shintsu family who lived in Joshita Town were summoned to the Shintsukan assessment room to participate in the assessment. At this time, the news of Shintsu Mitsuyu's death did not reach the ears of the retainers because it was suppressed by Mrs. Yuno. The first assessment held after the owner of the pavilion became seriously ill, and all the retainers, except for a few, thought that the owner of the pavilion had improved and waited patiently.

However, after waiting for a long time, the retainers did not wait for the hall master, and Shinzu Yusada slowly walked into the assessment room accompanied by Mrs. Yuno and sat in the first place.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here? This is the seat of the owner. ”

"Your Highness, you are so rude."

"Rude, don't come down quickly." As soon as Xinjin Youzhen sat in the first place, several upright retainers of the Xinjin family reprimanded. Although the rest of the retainers did not say much, they were also full of dissatisfaction, knowing that the hierarchy among the samurai was extremely strict.

"This, this ......" Shinjin Youzhen, who was originally a little apprehensive because he was sitting in the first place, listened to the reprimands of several retainers and became even more uneasy.

At this time, Mrs. Yuno spoke with a sad voice. "You don't know, the owner of the museum has passed away today. Mrs. Ben had no choice but to let Youzhen hold an assessment, after all, the Xinjin family still had to survive. ”

"Your Excellency, the Pavilion."

"What? The owner of the museum actually died. ”

"Damn." The retainers heard that Shinjin Mitsu had died, and immediately wailed.

At this time, Madame Yuno gave a sneaky glance to an inconspicuous retainer who was in the last position, and the retainer stood up and shouted loudly after receiving the instructions. "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. At present, the owner of the hall has died of illness, and His Royal Highness Guangguo is not in the Shinjin Pavilion, and he thinks that His Royal Highness Youzhen should inherit the position of the head of the family to glorify the Shinjin family. ”

The other samurai on Mrs. Yuno's side also said loudly when they saw this. "This statement is reasonable, His Royal Highness Youzhen should inherit the position of head of the family."

"Yes, after all, you can't leave your home without an owner for a day." ......

Seeing that the retainers' rhetoric was becoming more and more inclined to let Shintsu Yusada inherit the position of head of the family, Shinzu Mitsukoku's biggest supporter and his uncle Yoshino Heihachi couldn't sit still. I saw Yoshino Heihachi say loudly. "The owner of the pavilion has repeatedly liked His Royal Highness Guangguo to inherit the position of head of the family many times during his lifetime, and the old Lord Doi is not currently in the Xinjin Pavilion. It's really not appropriate to establish the position of head of the family now, so you should wait for the return of Mitsukuni-sama and Doi-sama before deciding on the choice of the head of the house. ”

This Yoshino-sama is extremely prestigious among the retainers, and Shintsu Mitsukuni is also very trusted by the retainers. At this time, seeing Yoshino Heihachi speak, some retainers spoke out in support. "That's right, let's wait for Lord Guangguo and them to come back."

"In other words, His Royal Highness Guangguo is much stronger than His Royal Highness Youzhen."

"Bastard, there is no more suitable choice for the master of the house than His Royal Highness Youzhen." Seeing this, the retainers who supported Shintsu began to refute it.

"His Royal Highness Guangguo ......"

"His Royal Highness Youzhen ......"

“........”

"........" Soon, the retainers of the Shinjin family quarreled in the evaluation room because of the different supporters. As for Shintsu Yuzhen, who was sitting in the first place, he was too frightened to speak at this time, and Mrs. Yuno, who was sitting behind him, seemed to have expected this.

I saw that she gave Tsuchiki Ryozo a look, and then Tsuchiki Ryozo secretly went out.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of Ashigaru suddenly rushed into the assessment room of the Shinjin Pavilion and surrounded all the retainers who were arguing, and the leader of this group was none other than Ryozo Tsuki, who had put on his armor at some point. The retainers of the Shinzu family were confused by this accident for a while, and the quarrel stopped, and they all looked at Ryozo Tsuki, wondering what he wanted to do?

I saw Ryozo Doki quickly walk up to Shinjin Yuzhen and kneel down and said. "In Shimotsuki Ryozo, meet the hall owner." The retainers now understand that Ryozo Civil Engineering is going to support Shinjin Yusada to become the head of the family by force.

The other retainers were afraid of the force of Tsuchiki Ryozo for a moment and did not dare to speak up, but Yoshino Heihachi's status was honorable and could not help but accuse. "Lord Tumu, what do you want to do with your troops to surround your retainers? Are you going to rebel? ”

Heihachi Yoshino thought that his words could stop or delay Ryozo Doki. However, what he and his retainers didn't expect was that Ryozo Doki actually walked straight up to Heihachi Yoshino and hacked him to death with a single sword.

Heihachi Yoshino died in pain with an expression of disbelief, but he didn't even let out a scream.

Ryozo Doki said after retracting the katana he had drawn and looking at the retainers. "Yoshino Heihachi's attempt to rebel has been beheaded under the Order, do you have any opinions on His Royal Highness Youzhen inheriting the position of head of the family?"

At this time, the retainers in the assessment room, where did they dare to have any opinions, and they all knelt down to Xinjin Youzhen and said. "I'm going to meet the Pavilion Master."

At this point, Mrs. Yuno and her gang finally helped Shintsu Yuzhen to the position of head of the family through force and coercion.

However, the turmoil at the Shinjin Pavilion has only just begun. That night, a samurai of the Shinzu clan rode to Matsugami Castle on a fast horse with a secret message from Mrs. Yuno. ......
