Chapter 84 Joint Appeal (I)

The Nissin monk was not originally intended to get involved in disputes between the locals.

Once a shallow, possessed, and powerful organization, in just a few decades, it occupied the bustling commercial centers of Ishiyama and Nagashima, as well as large territories in Kaga, Noto, and Echichu.

But that kind of entrepreneurial passion is destined to not last for thousands of years.

Having acquired a large enough pie, the Sect inevitably gradually became corrupt and degenerate, from the vanguard of the rebellion against the old privileged class to a member of the new privileged class.

Outsiders may not feel this point, but the core members of the interior know it in their hearts.

Nowadays, monks are generally not as pragmatic and willing to do things as they used to be, but are satisfied with what they have achieved, and are attached to power and money. There are more and more households in various places who rely on nepotism to ascend to the top, and there is a tendency to break away from the masses and rise to the top, and their style of work is gradually moving closer to traditional sects such as Tiantai, Shingon, and Rinzai.

Hokuriku has always had to fight against big forces such as Asakura and Uesugi, and it still maintains a certain vitality under the stimulation of the soldiers.

The monks of the Nissin Dynasty actually came to Shikoku to "exercise on a temporary basis", as the land of the lower Lailian, and had the experience of being alone at the grassroots level.

Since the beginning of Zongfei's Huang Tengda, Miao Zhenggenhong's "second generation of monks" have been singing and dancing in Shishan Jinyi, jade food, singing and dancing, and it is also very moisturizing to go to Long Island or Beilu to find a fat difference. Those who are willing to preach and preach in this unfounded and remote place of Shikoku Island can be regarded as the most determined activists.

He also lived up to Master's trust.

In these years, how many members of the Yixiang sect have been able to maintain their traditional style, go deep into the poor peasants without avoiding filth, and take the trouble to explain the "Dharma" with a pleasant face?

I'm afraid it's less than a tenth.

The style of the Nissin monks is exactly the same as that of their ancestors twenty or thirty years ago, and the effect is naturally excellent, and within a few months of hard work it has established considerable prestige in the vicinity of Kamizakura Castle.

If this momentum is maintained, it will be enough in a year or two to open an imperial workshop on Shikoku Island and openly recruit believers.

At that time, you can rely on this merit and return to Stone Mountain in style.

Today is different from the past, and now the radical ideas can no longer please the bigwigs of the Shishan Imperial Workshop, as a front-line soldier, why do you need to wade into this troubled water and rashly offend the flag officers of the Miyoshi family?

According to this line of thinking, after listening to the grievances of the villagers, Nissin should just say a few words and deal with the mud, and should not be mixed into the conflict between the samurai and the peasants on the island of Shikoku.

However, he had just received a letter from his master, coming with a new mission:

"It is clear that the Venerable Master has reached a tacit understanding with his intended in-laws, the Master of the Criminal Division, that his missionary preaching in Shikoku will be supported by the Heite family, and that it is okay to offend Miyoshi Awamori (Choji) a little bit by more drastic means. It's up to you to grasp the proportions of what you do. ”

The subtext is to say - just make trouble, I'll cover you in the back!

This is undoubtedly the support that grassroots expatriates need the most.

Although Lai Lian is also a "second generation monk" who has been in a high position since birth, he has a firm heart and lofty aspirations, and is determined to follow the example of the sages to make contributions and expand the territory.

Otherwise, how could Nissin, a foreign monk from a humble family, be fortunate enough to be included in the door wall?

In the past, he was limited by the overall environment, so he had to be with the light and dust, and he and his colleagues were humble and wronged, and supported the general policy of "avoiding creating more enemies among the ministers and samurai".

This time, I had a behind-the-scenes deal with the Hisho Criminal Department, which is in charge of the Seto Inland Sea area of Nankai Province, and I was finally able to show my skills.

Since the master has a life, the disciple should obey it.

Facing the eyes of the villagers with a pair of miserable and expectant eyes, the monk Nissin did not hesitate, and very decisively opened his mouth to make a qualitative conclusion about today's events: "This Toyama Kinjiro claims to be ordered to collect temporary taxes, but he has no written statement in his hand, nor does he say the purpose of the money, I think it is quite suspicious, it is very likely that he fraudulently used the name of the main family to enrich his own pockets!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

The behavior of Kinjiro Toyama was indeed very irregular, and the villagers had already doubted it, but there was no one to take the lead, except for a few stunned young people, they didn't dare to talk about the samurai master.

Now that the noble Nissin master is the backbone, everyone's emotions are finally expressed unrestrained.

"I'll just say, how can you suddenly collect money, it's so urgent, and you have to get so much ......"

"How so! Is there still a heavenly principle? Is there still a royal law? ”

"This money can't just be over, we must find a way to get it back!"

The crowd was indignant, and they didn't mention it.

"It's too much!" The stout man Xiong Ji roared angrily, waved his hand and slapped down the pile of grain beside him, "Master Nissin, with your words, I will fight to the death, and I will also explain it!" ”

"You know!" The white-bearded old man Tibetan horse interrupted him, stepped forward and bowed down to the monk and said, "Master! We poor people, there is no way to protect our money bags and rice jars except to beg you for help! ”

"yes, yes......"

"Ask the master for help!"

"We're so pitiful."

It was obviously the old man who was more representative of the people's will than the reckless man, and under his leadership, many villagers fell to their knees, kowtowing and begging.

"It doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way!" Seeing this, the monk Nissin hurriedly pulled the people around him up, and responded sincerely: "The poor monk is just a wandering monk, what kind of ability do you have?" To fight against the reckless evil samurai, we poor people must unite! ”

"That's right!" The reckless man Xiong Ji hurriedly said, "The head of the Yuanshan family has long been old, the eldest son and four soldiers are far away in the city, and the younger son plus two useless doglegs, dozens of us young and strong are united and go together, and we are afraid that the three of them will not succeed?" ”

"That's what it means! You ......" Zangma was about to curse again, remembering the word "unity" that Master Ri said before he couldn't help it, and explained in a slightly lower tone: "You are tantamount to a rebellion, which will attract the army in the city!" How can we stop someone with thirty or fifty soldiers? Solidarity doesn't have to fight, appeal is the solution to the problem! ”

"Appeal? To put it lightly! Xiong Ji scoffed at this appeasement route: "Even if we go to Shengrui City together, will we be able to see the lord?" Even the guards guarding the door won't look at you squarely! ”

"Calm down! Calm down! Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the monk Nissin raised his voice and swept his eyes seriously, so that the two villagers did not dare to say more, and then added: "What you say makes sense, but you are also biased!" It is certainly not okay to attack the samurai rashly, and it will make people think that we are the unreasonable party. But we also need to show our determination to fight to the end, otherwise tepid appeals will be difficult to get attention! ”

"What do you mean......" Xiong Ji asked tentatively.

"I mean, everyone must first reach an agreement, sign an oath to advance and retreat together, and then elect a few strong representatives to the gate of Shengrui City, shouting the slogan of appeal! The commotion is so loud that the guards guarding the door will never dare to hide it privately, we will definitely be able to meet the lord! ”

"This ...... In case it is framed as a disturbance and suppressed...... "Tibetan horses are still afraid."

Monk Nissin smiled kindly when he heard this, then retracted his face, and said loudly and solemnly: "Everyone, you also know that the master of the poor monk is Master Lai Lian, the official of Shishanfang!" The lower master Lai Lian is the right and left hand of the Venerable Master. In addition, I came to Shikoku with Yukawaden, the warden of Kamisakura Castle, who was appointed by the Heite Punishment Department. With these two layers of relationship, we guarantee that nothing will happen to you! ”

"Wow!" Xiong Ji took the lead and raised his arms and shouted, "The master has said so, what else do we have to worry about?" ”

Then the young men all boiled over and responded.

"That's right, that's right!"

"Just do what the master says!"

Lao Zangma is still a little worried, but there is no reason to oppose it when he thinks about it, and he doesn't know what to say.

Then. In the cheers all over the ground, a crisp girl's voice suddenly sounded:

"Master Nissin, that's a good point!"

Following the sound came a young woman with ponytail hair and a short yellow robe, lively and bright, and heroic.

When the villagers saw this, they were all silent and did not dare to speak, and their expressions were a little panicked.

The monk Nissin didn't know this woman, he looked sideways, but he only felt that his heart was like a deer, his mouth was dry, as if he felt the spring breeze, everything recovered, the flowers bloomed, and the scenery of the willows was in general, and his eyes became extremely narrow for a while, and he could no longer accommodate the second person.

A shrewd and capable young man who can usually speak well suddenly became a goose.

After a while, Na Kumayoshi reacted and shouted, "Master Nissin! This girl is the granddaughter of Toyama Daigoro, the daughter of Toyama Ginjiro, her name is Toyama and Ye, what we just said was heard by her, but it's not good, hurry up and tie it up! ”

"No!" Nissin subconsciously stopped immediately, and when he saw that there was a difference in his expression, he hurriedly added and explained: "Even if Toyama Daigoro is evil, his granddaughter may not be an accomplice, and before he understands the situation, he can't be involved at will." ”

"Uh-huh, he is worthy of being a master from Shishan, but he is more reasonable than the countrymen!" The young woman called "Toyama Kazuha" grinned and jumped forward: "My grandfather, my father, and my uncle have indeed done bad things, even if it is a family member, I will not protect them!" I support your appeal, and I'll go with you! ”

The monk Nissin was very relieved when he heard this, and praised: "Miss Heye is really out of the mud and not stained, like a white lotus blooming alone." ”

"Yes...... The master is really literate, I have never heard such words! Yuan Shan and Ye were slightly reddish and a little embarrassed, but they still smiled generously, tilted their heads and asked, "Master, you are an outsider, but you are better at coaxing girls to be happy than the martial arts children here here!" ”

"Actually, the poor monk ......," the Nissin monk said superfluously, "the poor monk...... It is indeed a samurai family.,The ancestor is the Hattori clan of Owari Tsushima.,Before shaving and becoming a monk.,The common name is Heiji.。 In other words, we have never forbidden marriage......"

"Heiji-sama Hattori? The little woman thinks that this name is better than that of Master Nissin! ”

"Miss Heye can be called ...... the way you like"
