Suzuki Hidemoto is a rough man, where do you know what methods of torture and investigation, it's just that you are gradually looking for someone to inquire about. However, the person he has to deal with is not a cunning thief, but just a crony relative who sees money, and he is just a nepotistic nobleman who sees money, and after a day or two of simple investigation, everything he should know is almost known.

At least on the surface.

Thankfully, it did not involve any relatives of the Hisho Punishment Department. However, there are many important ministers' names in the "plot", all of which can not be easily offended.

This scared Suzuki Hidemoto a lot, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and after thinking about it, he simply said that he couldn't stand the cold and the cold, and he was seriously ill, and he didn't see any guests, and he couldn't plan to do it.

Toranosuke Kato, who is beside him, has the air of a newborn calf, thinking that at this time, "a step forward may have a chance to be a big one, and a retreat to show weakness is more likely to be punished." On the surface, he pretended to be in a daze and was helpless, but in fact, he quietly prepared the written materials, found the opportunity to act suddenly, and handed them directly to Yoshimitsu Hirate to read.

Speaking of a tie Yoshimitsu, now is the stage of exerting himself and full of physical strength, and without hesitation he took the paper with more than a dozen pages written, and then he was angry and shocked, and made up his mind to rectify it.

Toranosuke Kato cheered, thinking that he could lean on the big tree from now on and fight side by side with the second generation of me, but he was calmly told not to make a noise and wait patiently.

I had to go back with anxiety and regret.

A few days later, in the Spring Festival, the guests of the Heite Yoshimitsu feast were invited, and dignitaries from the imperial court, the shogunate, and the temples and merchants from near and far gathered to celebrate the festival. Later, he strongly invited several important ministers to bring their relatives and friends to the depths of the mansion to exchange feelings.

On top of the private banquet, after three rounds of drinking, a certain small surname who was standing aside and waiting, suddenly cried and bowed down and said that there was a grievance to "uphold justice", and wanted the young master to help "save my uncle, an innocent person".

Yoshimitsu Hirate looked displeased and asked what was the matter.

In front of everyone's eyes, the little surname claimed to report Suzuki Hidemoto, the "Qin Mission" who investigated military affairs, saying that with his special status, he had nothing to do everywhere, arrested people indiscriminately, and extorted profits from them, bullying men and women, which was simply indignant, and now although he was seriously ill with retribution, he still did not repent.

The words were sincere, and tears flowed, and the family members of several important ministers immediately couldn't help whispering and secretly expressing sympathy.

However, Kawada Nagakin, Honda Masanobu, and Konishi Yukicho did not dare to speak easily.

Kawada Nagajin frowned and looked grim, Honda Masanobu bowed his head thoughtfully, and Konishi Yukinaga's face was eager to try.

After pondering for a moment, Yoshimitsu Hirate asked if there was such a thing. Act as if you don't know anything.

Kawada Naga inferred confidently: "The contemptible people are busy meeting with the imperial court, the shogunate, the daimyos, and monks in various places today, and they have no time to pay attention to the rest of the affairs. ”

President Konishi said solemnly: "I only know that there is such a person as Suzuki Hidemoto, who has done some official business from Kishiwada Castle, but I don't know what he has done. ”

Honda Masanobu thought for a while, and said slowly: "I seem to have seen this person arresting people around Kyoto recently, and I don't dare to ...... whether he is abusing his power."

Before he finished speaking, Yoshimitsu Hirate was furious for some reason, and ordered to take the case: "How dare anyone be so rude? No matter what kind of illness you have, you must immediately pull it out and confront it! ”

Someone was immediately sent to "invite".

Suzuki Hidemoto brought it, but there was no sickness in his body.

Seeing that Yoshimitsu Heite became more and more annoyed, and angrily reprimanded: "How dare you pretend to be sick and perfunctory? If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you will be beheaded immediately! ”

Suzuki Hidemoto was forcibly dragged all the way over, already trembling and sweating, and when he was frightened at this moment, he was even more tearful, fart and urine, and kowtowed and cried: "Subordinates should be damned, subordinates should be damned!" It was not deliberately pretending to be sick and delaying, but when I was investigating military affairs, I found a lot of amazing things, and I had to come up with this crooked idea to avoid trouble......"

Hearing this, Yiguang was even more angry, and scolded loudly, and his life was brought from the truth.

Suzuki Hidemoto cowered and panicked, and he didn't dare to speak.

Then he pressed the sword and pressed the handle with his hand, and the murderous spirit was high.

Suzuki Hidemoto was in a dilemma, and he was helpless, so he had to confess and say: "There is a person who engulfs the final payment of the merchant on the grounds of quality, and it is said that he is a junior disciple introduced by Master Toraza Soyi; Later, there is an unknown figure who claims to be the uncle of Kawada's eldest family, who swaggers and deceives and claims to have the means to the sky, but he only collects money and does not do anything; It is also involved in the land of Shancheng Country to force the villagers to pay back taxes, and it is rumored that the person behind him is ......"

Speaking of which, some of the people present began to look uncomfortable.

"How can this be true? This is obviously all nonsense, made out of nothing! Obviously, there is an enemy ninja who is spreading rumors and spewing blood! Hiratite Yoshimitsu turned pale, interrupted the shooting, and shouted: "There are people outside who slander and slander my family's important ministers so much? Be sure to find out well, find out the culprit, and punish it severely! ”

Kawada Changqin immediately bowed down and said: "The subordinates are careless in their words and deeds, so that the family is disgraced, so I beg to stay in hibernation and avoid it, and then deal with it after the truth is revealed." ”

Hirate Yoshimitsu was surprised: "How can you implicate the old minister because of rumors? ”

Hurriedly reached out to help.

It's just that Kawada Chang's relatives couldn't kneel and insisted on avoiding it, so Hirate Yoshimitsu had to agree.

Then Honda Masanobu also came out of the queue slowly, and said calmly: "What this Suzuki Hall said is probably not completely false. To tell the truth, his younger brother Hondo is serious, and since he retired due to injury, he has not had much official business, so he often mingles with merchants, monks, and countrymen, and his shots are much more generous than in the past...... Before, the contemptible person was just suspicious and didn't think much about it, but now it seems that maybe he used his identity to do something wrong! ”

This initiative was unexpected, and Hirate Yoshimitsu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you also have to ask yourself to avoid it!" Then he turned his gaze and bowed to President Konishi and said, "Then how about the task of investigating this matter and leaving it to you?" ”

President Konishi had already prepared in his heart, and when he heard this, his face suddenly flushed, and he suddenly came out and said, "My subordinates will definitely handle this matter properly!" We will never allow outsiders to frame and slander our important ministers at will! However...... If there really are one or two black sheep who act recklessly, what should they do, this is ......"

At the end of the sentence, he bowed his head deeply to hide his expression.

"If that's the case, of course, you should report to your father and ask him to decide." Yoshimitsu Hirate replied without hesitation, then pondered for a while, and then said, "Konishi-sama, don't have any worries. Look at how this is, there is a waiter by my side, called Jing Yihusong, who has not served Yuan for a long time, but he is very wise and brave, so let him investigate this matter thoroughly with you, and if there are any consequences, just say that I have instructed him. ”

"......" Governor Konishi stagnated when he heard this, didn't dare to think about it, and said decisively: "Everything is under the orders of the young master." ”

Yoshimitsu Herate subconsciously learned his father's posture, stroked his chin, which barely had a beard, nodded his head, and said, "In addition, Suzuki Hidemoto...... After all, the stakes are high, and I don't know if what I said is true or not, so let's rest in peace for a while. Are there any clever people around you who have experienced before and after who can come out to help Konishi-sama? ”

“…… Yes? Suzuki Hidemoto was so frightened that he hadn't recovered yet, and he didn't understand the meaning of the words for a while, and it took him a long time to understand, and he hurriedly said: "There is an Owari boy Kato Toranosuke and his subordinates!" As I said, this young man can be used as a witness! This man is much better than I am, and may be able to explain ......"

"That's it!" Yoshimitsu Hirate didn't let him talk nonsense, and waved his big hand: "Just let this Kato Toranosuke also participate!" ”
