Regardless of authenticity and emotional tendencies, Ishikawa Goemon at least provided a lot of detailed information.

With this foundation in place, Hinode will be able to grasp the general direction. After a night of "overtime", repeated investigations, and multiple confirmations, my heart gradually became clear. I called a few lower-level retainers to ask about it, and finally figured out the general situation of the riot in the city.

The lord of Hinachijo Castle was a typical local tyrant who inherited from his father three small villages on the southwestern border of Iga Province, which were estimated to be converted into three or four hundred koku, and could mobilize thirty or fifty young and strong people. Like the other 30 or so people of Nabari County, he signed an oath in the previous generation and made Takino Sadakiyo, the lord of Kashiwabara Castle, the leader of the alliance.

Of course, like other Iga people, they have passed down several training methods of secret ninjutsu, and they have some experience in setting fire to warehouses and digging wells in Horiji.

The Iga country is poor and bad, and the local tyrants have always been rough and wild, violent and wanton, and it is a wolf's den that civilized people have heard of. The "Iga Guardian" appointed by the shogunate was actually completely incapable of exercising his functions.

For a long time, the people of this land have lived a traditional life, self-contained, isolated and self-sufficient. There are people with outstanding skills who can't stand loneliness, so they cut off their past, give up their ancestral business, and go to the famous family outside to find a job. There are also many people who started as intelligence officers and gradually became high-level samurai.

But the mountain village is different, and has ambitions that are easy for ordinary people. He couldn't stand the hardships in the mountains and forests, and he didn't have the ability to be reused by the daimyo, nor did he have the courage to use his life to get rich, but he was whimsical, planning to improve the ancestral technique of setting fire to the Horiji and turn to work as a miner. After some tossing, he found a small silver mine nearby - although it could not be officially mined for the time being due to conditions.

Mining is a high-end technology in this era, and it is limited to a small circle. The general daimyo generally lacked technocrats and could not handle the mines on their own, so they would choose to hand over the gold and silver mountains in their territories to professionals for contracting and collecting fixed taxes. The foremen of the miners' team, who have dug up more through hard work or improved technology, can put it into their own pockets.

Leaving behind the ancestral job and studying the mining industry instead, this matter will be placed in future generations, that is, "the heirs of violent organizations will change their minds and abandon the black industry to join the industry", which is worthy of a special column on national television.

However, in the Middle Ages, cutting people with a knife was a noble profession worthy of respect.

And people like Xiashan Xiangyuan seem to be very unsociable. In addition, he has an obscene temperament, stingy behavior, and is dull and cowardly, so he gradually has the reputation of "greedy for life and afraid of death, and mercenary", and his reputation is extremely poor.

Even, the lord of Kashiwahara Castle, Takino Sadakiyo, as the leader of the Mingzhang County Hao clan alliance and one of the bigwigs in Iga, openly ridiculed him. Originally, the two families had decided to marry the daughter of the Takino family in the previous generation, and they should marry the daughter of the Takino family. But the prospective father-in-law, Takino Sadakiyo, despised this prospective son-in-law very much and brazenly withdrew from the marriage.

This beam is really big.

Therefore, when the Oda family's soldiers pressed the border, the guy who went down to the mountain and went to the countryside took the initiative to surrender, became an "Iga traitor", and was willing to be a "leading party", leading Kawajiri Hidetaka and others to smash Huanglong and take Kashiwahara Castle.

Then the elderly Takino Sadakiyo was killed by Yamauchi Kazutomi with a knife.

It is also counted as the mountain and countryside wall indirectly avenging the revenge of the past.

But the weight of the male protagonist of this divorce stream, where can it be ended so easily?

After the destruction of Kashiwahara Castle, taking advantage of the fact that the Oda family would not have time to take care of it, he went down to the mountain and expressed his grievances on Takino Sadakiyo's family. The killing was opened, and the silver insult was not mentioned, and the body was chopped into small pieces and hung up.

tortured the living, and still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he took his subordinates to the shrine dedicated to the ancestors of the Takino family, and did fecal defecation on the tablet, and then set a fire to completely burn down the shrine.

These things have been done too much, which naturally caused public anger. There were hundreds of non-combatants in the city who had given up resistance, but they all rose up again.

The walls of Kashiwahara Castle were not tight, and in the midst of the chaos, some captives escaped and spread the evil deeds outside. Seeing this, the lower mountain countryside tried to kill the mouth, and led people to chase and kill, causing more unrelated people to be involved.

Hidetaka Kawajiri noticed the abnormality, but he didn't take into account Iga's special national conditions, and instead of soothing him, he forced him to cut off a few heads to make an example of the monkeys. Unexpectedly, the villagers in this savage region were most afraid of losing their heads, which happened to be aroused.

In this way, the massacre and rumors become a vicious circle that reinforces each other.

As a result, the people believed that the Oda family was going to kill all the Iga people and sacrifice them to the Demon King, and the crowd was furious and rebelled. After a fierce battle, the people of Iga left behind more than 3,000 corpses, and the surprise attack force of the Oda family also suffered eight or nine hundred casualties.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Ishikawa Goemon said that Shimoyama Ogaki is a "beast".

It seems that this guy is not only a retired male protagonist, but also a lord of Ma in the Warring States Period.

Killing the enemy's family can still be said to be caused by anger, and the public rape of the silver lady is already a sideline, but insulting the corpse and desecrating the shrine, these two acts, under the ethics of the Middle Ages, cannot be justified in any way.

On the other hand, the people of Iga Province, when they encountered this kind of thing, did not flee in all directions, but gathered to besiege the castle, and this folk custom can be said to be quite fierce.

Now that this is the case, what should be done?

After Hidetaka Kawajiri and others led a surprise attack team to break through the city, they neglected to take prisoners and allowed the guy to act recklessly in the countryside, which was theoretically responsible. However, for meritorious people, it is obvious that they cannot be so nitpicky.

The countryside wall in the mountains was raging and violent, and the civilians who were pulled out to behead themselves were not wronged at all. But he took the initiative to surrender and lead the way, and made a great contribution to the strategy of Mingzhang County, if he was not rewarded and punished, who would be willing to surrender to the Oda family in the future?

For this nerve-wracking question, Hiseki didn't continue to think about it. The so-called not in his position, not seeking his own government, this matter should be handed over to the lord Oda Nobutada.

So I simply packed up my instrument and walked into the Imperial Pavilion, ready to ask the second generation to see me.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he was about to speak to the attendants guarding the door, but he saw the attendants hurriedly bowing down and saluting, and said, "The young master has instructed that if the master of the peace hand comes to visit, there is no need to report it, and you can go straight inside." ”

Seeing this, Pingshou Fan Xiu immediately read "ashamed", changed his expression of admiration and fear, and walked in respectfully.

Of course, I didn't forget it, and with lightning speed, I stuffed a silver coin into the hands of the two janitors.

The prime minister's door is a seven-grade official, this is an unbreakable truth in ancient and modern China and abroad, and it is definitely not something that a mere waste wood traverser can contend with.

When he entered the room, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Oda Nobutada's complexion had improved greatly after a night's rest.

Leveling up with the Demon King's children, this task is both glorious and risky. If the second generation makes something wrong in front of him and falls ill, he won't have to eat at Oda's house in the future.

Walking forward, and just as he was about to salute, he heard Oda Nobutada speak impatiently-

"Lord Pingshou, I heard that the rebel did something that caused the riot?"

Fan Xiu was suddenly startled.

I just investigated something clearly, but I haven't said it yet, how can the other party already know?

At this time, there was no need to think too much, and Pingshou Fanxiu covered the surprise on his face by bending down to give a salute, slowly got up, adjusted his emotions, and replied calmly: "Young Master Qiqi, Your Majesty's judgment is exactly the same as yours." ”

Oda Nobutada nodded with a heavy face, and then explained, "This matter was investigated by Lord Liang Tian overnight. Since you are judging the same way, there should be no doubt about the facts. ”

Lord Liang Tian?

Hiromasa Ryota, who was standing beside Nobutada, glanced at Hiromasa Ryoda.

The doubts are solved.

Hiromasa Ryoda, who is also said to be a high-level member of the Oda family's ninja force, also cooperated with Tsunohide during the Battle of Barrel Sasama. Nobunaga placed him next to Nidaime, apparently in charge of intelligence gathering.

The Great Demon King is still very willing to give good things to his own son.

Pingshou Fanxiu looked up, and Liang Tian's eyes met, giving birth to a little sympathy, and nodded quietly.

And Oda Nobutada held his forehead with his hand, looking depressed, not noticing these small movements at all, and asked helplessly: "Uncle...... What should I do with this shameless person in the countryside? Regardless of reward or punishment, it seems very inappropriate......"

Fan Xiu could only smile bitterly.

I wanted to hand over this question to the main general, but I didn't expect the opponent to kick the ball over first.

However, people are "equal affairs" and "uncles", and they can no longer be put aside in public and private.
