Chapter 43: The Betrayer's Mind
"Whether it's wine, seafood, dancing girls, or wandering girls, report them as you like! Today I will definitely satisfy all of you! ”
Matsuura Sungoro threw out dozens of gold goods, threw them on the tatami mats nonchalantly, and then proudly enjoyed the flattery of many people in Izumi Province. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the moat, which is also a kaimachi, it is no longer a low-class dormitory, but an expensive high-end place. The exterior is secluded, well insulated, the interior is spacious, luxuriously decorated, and the waiters are attentive. Whether it's looking for flowers and willows, dancing and writing or touring the mountains and rivers, it is an excellent place.
The crowd was visibly overjoyed, and they all stood up and raised their hands above their heads, chanting the name "Matsuura-sama."
Only one person was a little slower to react, but everyone apparently didn't care.
Tall and strong, Dr. Yasuda Terada, who is extremely brave, did not participate in the carnival of his colleagues in time, not because he was distracted and did not hear what he just said, but because he remembered the scene when he was a child and traveled with his parents in Kai Town.
"Whether it's snacks, Nanban candy, toys, or clothes, just report them according to your wishes! I'm sure to delight the kids today! ”
That's what my father said at the time, right?
How long has it been?
Fifteen years? Or twenty years?
Anyway, I've been fighting hard with Sungoro Matsuura, and it's no good to look through the calendar or something.
"Hold on, hold on a little longer! In a year or two, we will be able to reclaim our land and life will be better! ”
I've heard my ears calloused, but until today, I haven't seen much sign of "getting better".
"To regain the land of the Izumi people, you don't need to pay taxes to anyone, and you don't have to go to war for others! Then we can go back to the old days! ”
That's what Sungoro Matsuura often says.
There seem to be many people who are moved by this sentence, but not Dr. Yasuda Terada.
The so-called "old days" refers to guarding a tattered village where birds don't, only going to a big town once, and eating Jinping candy and thinking it is the best thing in the world?
Maybe he's too young to remember what's really good about the "old days." What he saw was that Matsunaga Shu, Iwanari Tomotsu, Matsuyama Shigeharu, and many others who helped Miyoshi do things went from penniless to brocade clothes and food. And these heroes around them who refuse to give in have to feel distressed for a long time even to eat white rice.
Not to mention the one door and important ministers of the Miyoshi family, even if it is an incompetent person like Uncle Marsh, guarding the ancestral industry and kowtowing to Changqing Gong honestly, people will gradually be able to use the most fashionable clothes and furniture in Kamikai Town.
And what about the people on Sungoro Matsuura's side? On weekdays, I secretly saved every penny to recruit troops and buy horses, and went to find trouble with the three good families every three or five times, and when the army came, I threw away the house and fled to the ravine to be a wild man. Later, a peace agreement was finally reached, but within two days of stable life, the people who controlled changed again.
Ironically, there are quite a few people who think that this peace negotiation is a great victory and a great credit to Sungoro Matsuura. In fact, apart from the preservation of the independence of Matsuura himself, did the people below get anything?
Dr. Yasuda Terada didn't know why his father and brother chose to follow this "Guardian Daiyo Matsuura" who would only bring losses to the Terada family, but he had already decided to correct this mistake. It's just that he already has a lot of blood from the Miyoshi family in his hands, and he can't take it online anymore.
Now that the Oda family is finally here, if you don't seize the opportunity at this time, when will you wait?
So he's trying his best to think of a plan to get all the diehards under Matsuura together, so that they can be wiped out. But I am afraid that too many forces have been gathered and will bring trouble to the encirclement and suppression.
Dr. Terada had not yet received specific instructions from Oda's side, and only told him to "stand by". But he couldn't wait any longer and decided not to "standby" and create this opportunity himself. He knew very well that the guardian sent by the Oda family was an extremely powerful and dangerous person, and if he didn't make a move, maybe Matsuura would be cleaned up by Hirasho after a while. What is the value of Toucheng when the time comes?
Everyone had already started to drink with the woman in their arms, but Sungoro Matsuura just looked at it with a smile and didn't drink. Dr. Terada Yasuda also kept an eye on it, pretending to pour wine desperately like others, but in fact he vomited more than half of it under the cover of his sleeves.
"Ah, it's wine, food, beauty, it's all there!"
"Isn't it? If I could do this every day, I would like to live ten years less! ”
"Ten years less? I'd like to live only 10 years! ”
"Yes, yes...... We've worked so hard for so long, and we finally see this hope. ”
Hearing this, Matsuura Sungoro hurriedly added: "This is just the beginning, there will be an endless stream of gold money in the future, and not only money, territory, and power, we will all have to get it back one by one." ”
"I would like to follow Matsuura-sama!" A guy who was already slightly drunk suddenly raised his glass and shouted.
The rest of the people also said in unison, "I want to follow Matsuura-sama!" ”
Of course, the one who shouted the loudest and looked the most serious was Dr. Terada, who always knew how to rush and kill, and didn't know how to be flexible. He even ran up to him to respectfully offer a toast.
No one knew that his heart was full of contempt and anxiety.
He despised this low-level way of buying people's hearts, and he was anxious that this low-end method really had an effect.
There are always such brainless people, who only know how to follow the position of their fathers and ancestors, and serve the old lord, and they don't know the consideration of safety and security, and now they are full of gratitude when they get a little benefit......
Dr. Yasuda Terada is very angry, but he doesn't show it at all. As always, he concentrates on playing the image of "the warrior with the head of elm".
The feast begins in the evening and lasts well into the evening. The Chinese tyrants here are all very good at drinking, but after such a long time, they are gradually getting a little drunk. Some people began to float under their feet, and some began to talk about wine. Dr. Yasuda Terada also began to disguise himself according to his usual pattern.
The only exception was Sungoro Matsuura, who always walked around happily, enjoying the dishes, snacks and beauties, and constantly persuading others to drink, but he didn't eat much. It wasn't until the moon hung in the air that he inadvertently went out, and a moment later suddenly reappeared, and his expression changed.
"Everyone, please stop! Stop for a moment! Listen to me about something important! ”
After waiting for a while, he repeated it again, and then he withdrew all the waiters and dancers, and closed the doors and windows. When he saw that all the people had gathered, he said:
"Actually, I've got an important piece of information! According to insiders, our nemesis, Akutagawa Sunjuro, who had killed many of our brothers before, is now in contact with an Oda retainer named 'Kinoshita' in a temple near Kaimachi, and there are few guards around him, which is a great opportunity for us! Let's take this head tonight first, and let the family see how powerful we and the people of Quanguo are! ”
A moment of silence.
Then it exploded in an instant.
"Oh, yes, yes!"
"Matsuura-sama is really powerful, and he actually has an inside line there!"
"I'm impatient to wait, I want to kill someone and see blood!"
"Let's do it, let's do it!"
……
Sungoro Matsuura chuckled.
And Dr. Yasuda Terada felt that something was wrong right at the moment.
Gather the heads of the wealthy clans to carry out assassinations around the town.,I've done this before.,As long as you don't make a big mess.,The people won't care.。 Akutagawa Sunjuro is indeed an old rival.
But...... It's all drunk like this, and then go to assassinate?
It's not a normal way to do things!
And the name "Kinoshita" that was deliberately vaguely said was not noticed by others, but Dr. Terada Yasudai can clearly remember that the new Kaicho Governor was called by this name. This is no ordinary Oda retainer!
It can only be explained that Matsuura also vaguely knows that people's hearts are unstable, and this assassination is essentially a temptation! If anyone has doubts about the assassination, or if there is a move that does not fit the image of a "drunk reckless man", they will definitely be suspected!
So far, it should be said that it has not been exposed, but what next?
If the time is not right, you must not jump back.
But you can't really do it, then it will block the way to the Oda family!
Didn't you say that the good tie of the Izumi Guardian Generation, the "secondary" of the Miyoshi family? The situation in Kaimachi is so chaotic, how can you let the service come here? It's ...... It's ......
Such a simple truth, can't the wise general understand?
