Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wonder of the Tie Show (Part II)
After the two talked a few words, they came to a general conclusion, but there was not even a skimming of the eight characters, and there was still a lot of complicated work to be done in the follow-up, which could not be settled at the wine table today. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun and the court tacitly stopped talking about business, but asked the brewery to present the best products in the store, and talked about pleasant topics such as good food and wine while tasting.
After about half an hour, full of wine and food, Hirata politely suggested that the other party be a guest in the city, but Akao Kiyotsuna refused on the grounds that his identity was embarrassing and it was not appropriate to appear in public. Instead, he invited Fan Xiu to the room he rented temporarily to meet the family.
"I also have a pair of minor children who have traveled with me. They really want to see the world-famous 'Tie Prisoner'! ”
Hearing this, Fan Xiu didn't feel it. Considering that things have to be pushed by the other party, out of the need to strengthen the relationship, there is no refusal.
So he readily agreed, and let Akao Kiyotsuna show the way, while he followed behind with a large group of guards, both openly and secretly.
The castle town of Kishiwada Castle is not large, and after walking hundreds of steps and turning two corners, you will arrive at your destination.
It's a house on the outskirts of the town, with a garden, and it looks spacious and quiet, so it should be expensive. However, Akao Kiyotsuna has been an old man in the Asai family for decades, and he still has this savings.
However......
How does it look like someone is using force near the house?
Akao Kiyotsuna first saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward, but after a while, he suddenly stopped his pace, and just smiled bitterly and looked at the helpless gaze that came over.
Pingshou Fan Xiu was puzzled and followed.
When I looked closely, I saw that the front and back of the house and courtyard were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, and two stout men were kicking the door, and every time they kicked, there was a loud noise. There are also people who are responsible for shouting loud intimidation outside, shouting things like "You are surrounded, disarm and not kill".
There was also a girl in white at the door, who was held by a sword and couldn't move. A man next to him turned his back to this side, as if directing the soldiers to act.
This man who looked like a commander was not wearing armor, only a black Wu suit, and the family crest of the Hirate family was embroidered on his back.
And his back is very familiar.
Fan Xiu suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, coughed, pretended to be angry, and shouted:
"Hattori Haruan! What's wrong with you, you actually arrested the family members of Lord Kiyotsuna Akao as criminals! ”
This voice attracted the attention of the soldiers.
Hattori Chunan was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the girl in white shouted loudly: "Father, you are finally back!" This person is really unreasonable, I said that he is an old friend of Lord Pingshou, and he still does not forgive! ”
In an instant, everyone knew that this girl turned out to be the daughter of Akao Kiyotsuna.
The sword that had been placed on her neck immediately drooped.
Hattori Chunan reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to apologize:
"The sinner has no eyes, but does not know ......"
Fan Xiu was still annoyed, and interrupted with his sleeves: "You don't have to say it! ”
Then he tightened his eyebrows, lowered his eyelids, made a sad expression, and turned sideways to explain to Akao Kiyotsuna: "Alas, it's because I'm not strict with discipline! You've just arrived in Izumi and don't know the latest "with a knife" indication. The city is strictly investigating unidentified people with weapons, but they don't want to be surprised...... This kid is really rotten wood and can't be carved, how can the demeanor of the children of the Chiwei family be a suspicious character? …… Alas, how do you say that this blindless retainer should be punished in order to express his apology? ”
The babbling words were ostensibly scolding Hattori Chunan, but in fact they were all excusing him. The last sentence is even more of a hint that Akawei should not care.
Akao Kiyotsuna could only continue to smile helplessly.
If you want to say angry, then there is naturally a little bit. But I don't dare to express it.
The identity of the elder of the Asai family is enough to crush ordinary people under normal circumstances, but it is still far from enough for the hot Izumi Guardian Daihei Supervisor. What's more, now it's just the former family elder who has retired, and the hope of recovering power still falls on Fan Xiu!
Therefore, he behaved very generously, not only did he not dare to resent, but he bowed deeply in fear, and returned the salute: "How dare you, how dare you!" This matter is all due to the fact that the old man is blind and does not know your new policy, so he will be overlooked. How dare you blame others? ”
"How can you be so lenient?" Still immersed in acting, he made a sad and angry look, saying, "It must be severely punished to show that the friendship between Oda and Asai cannot be broken." ”
What kind of person Akao Kiyotsuna is, he can naturally see through it at a glance. He scolded secretly in his heart, but he was in other people's territory, and he had to cooperate with the performance, so he bowed down again and said solemnly: "This Hattori-sama eats the king's fortune and is loyal to the king, as a matter of course, if he is punished, he can't serve the public." ”
"That-" Fan Xiu's face showed hesitation, and he said slowly, "Is it just so unaccountable......"
"Not only do you not dare to pursue it, but you should also be rewarded." Akao Kiyotsuna cut the railway.
Fan Xiu pretended to think, and after a while, he nodded reluctantly, then turned around again, and scolded Hattori Harayanu sharply: "Akawei is extraordinarily popular, if I don't care about you, I will let you make meritorious service." Within a month, you will step up recruitment to fill all the vacancies in the Metropolitan Police Department. Before the number of people is full, there will be no one-day off! ”
Having said that, everyone present, including the soldiers, saw the clue.
Asking Hattori Haruan to hurry up recruiting people is obviously to expand his power, and as for not taking turns off, this small punishment is really not enough to worry about.
It shows that Tieshou is very satisfied with his work attitude. The accident was clearly caused by a misunderstanding and cannot be blamed.
As for the little dissatisfaction in Akao Kiyotsuna's heart...... It's not a big deal, but Fanxiu's face is very much, can you care about it anymore?
So the two sides glanced at each other, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and such a little mustard was treated as if it had never happened.
Then Fan Xiu was going to comfort the victim just now, that is, the daughter of Akao Kiyotsuna.
But as soon as he took two steps in the direction of the girl, he found that the other party was frozen in place, his face was very excited, and he stared at him with a very special gaze.
This gaze ...... It's a bit like the flattery of the subordinates to the high-ranking officials, and it's like the admiration and admiration of the believers when they see the monks, mixed with a little ambiguity.
It wasn't until Akao Kiyotsuna stepped forward and called three times that the girl came back to her senses, blushed suddenly, buried her head in her chest, and followed the door with the corner of her father's clothes.
Fan Xiu was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, so he followed straight in.
Of course, Hattori Haruyasu and his "Metropolitan Police Department" had left, and the courtyard was quiet again.
Hirate Tsunehide and Akao Kiyotsuna pass through the hall, and in order to resolve the embarrassment, they pretend to praise the decoration in the house.
But after taking a seat, you still have to come to the ceremony.
In addition to the young girl, Akao also summoned several women and a child. Then he pointed to the women and said:
"These are the contemptible family members."
Fan Xiu nodded as a gift. He knew that the other party's main room had passed away and had not been renewed, and all the concubines present should be concubines, so there was no need to ask about the name of the girl.
Akao then focused on the two children.
"The family business has been handed over to the eldest son Qingdong to inherit, and these two will go out with me. Inuko Tiger Chiyo, who is eight years old and still ignorant; The little girl Ah Ju, who only turned twelve after the New Year, has been clamoring to tie her hair (coming-of-age ceremony), so I will let her go. ”
Fan Xiu waved his hand and gestured to the children.
"Meet the tie~prison~thing~big~person~" The boy called "Tiger Chiyo" is generous and generous, but his mouth is deliberately exaggerated, and he looks like a naughty character.
"......" and the girl named "Ah Ju" next to her was very ladylike - perhaps the lady overlooked her head, only to see that her face was flushed, her head was almost lowered to the floor, and her voice was even more thin like a gnat, and she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
Because of Fang Cai's "accident", Pingshou Fanxiu was still more impressed by this girl, but he didn't take it too seriously.
His mind is thinking about the major events of his family and country, where would he consider the abnormal behavior of an ignorant girl?
