Now that there are the testimonies of Tokawa Deposit Insurance and Miyoshi Yasunaga, and the endorsement of Nobuyasu Yasutaka from Atakate, Hirate Hazuhide quickly summoned Hosokawa Mayuki to confront him.

When they met, An Zhai Xinkang scolded with his head and face: "What is Your Excellency's intention in doing such a fly camp and dog thing?" Do you want me to be willing to be full of three good clans? ”

Hosokawa Mayuki was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "When did you say?" Why can't I understand the following? ”

Antaku Nobuyasu said angrily: "My brother Qingyasu unfortunately died in the sea because he was affected by the female ninja of the Takeda clan. I heard that the ninja disguised as the daughter of a merchant was recommended by you to go to Izumi from Awa Katsurui? ”

Hosokawa Shinyuki frowned and retorted: "After all, the contemptible people have been entrusted by the princess to exercise the right of guardianship in Awa, and have dealt with all the local merchants. I also sympathize with the plight of my brother Qingkangdian, but this is not a reason to accuse the contemptible people. ”

An Zhai Xinkang wanted to say something, but Shihe Depository suddenly sneered: "After all, that incident has been a long time, and it is difficult to find evidence. But last month you sent a secret letter in an attempt to win me over against the Tie Division, and this is conclusive evidence. ”

Hearing this, Hosokawa Shinyuki's face changed, his smile was no longer natural, and he forced a calm defense: "What secret letter? I still don't know anything about it, and today is the first time I've heard of it......"

Shihe Depository didn't wait for him to finish and immediately interrupted: "The first time I heard of it? That's weird! In the past month, dozens of people in Awa and Sanuki have received similar secret letters, and they have been discussing a lot for a long time, and you don't even know it, tsk......"

Hearing this, Hosokawa Shinyuki shook his head in a hurry, and his tongue was a little flustered: "How can there be dozens of people...... No, I mean never...... Of course, there are some signs that I have noticed a little bit......"

At this time, Miyoshi Yasucho touched his beard and said slowly: "Hehe, the tone of the sweeping hall (Hosokawa Mayuki) refuses to relax, but it's a pity...... Your subordinate accomplices are really negligent in doing things, and there are so many whereabouts that they have leaked that they can't hide at all. ”

Hosokawa Shinyuki wiped his forehead and retorted forcefully, "My Fukura clan and I are just friends made because of Eagle Hunting, and nothing else is involved. Even if they do something, I'm afraid it can't be attributed to the despicable! ”

Hearing this, Sanhao Kang Chang stroked his palms and smiled: "Strange and strange! I just talked about the accomplice, but I haven't said who the accomplice is, so you don't know the prophet, do you expect that what I'm talking about is the Fukura clan, a wealthy clan in the mountains and fields on the border of Awa and Tosa? ”

The voice landed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly tightened.

In a few words, Hosokawa Mayuki accidentally slipped out of his mouth.

It seems that this little fox's way is really shallow, and it is so easy to show its tail.

At this point, Hosokawa Shinyuki was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his body was shaky, but he still gritted his teeth and held on without saying a word, full of willingness to gamble and lose, and regarded death as home.

Seeing this, he was not polite, and immediately ordered his soldiers to tie him up, pull him into a small black room, and waterboard him.

Then let the attendants on the left and right make hot tea and serve the guests.

Of course, Anzhai Xinkang didn't have the heart to drink, just held the cup politely, and Shihe Depository also drank water without making a sound, only Miyoshi Kang barely kept smiling with a light weight.

The water temperature was slightly high, and after only a few sips, Pingshou Fanxiu felt slightly hot, frowned at displeasure in his heart, and was about to order the attendants to send cold water instead, but saw the soldiers report back: "Hosokawa has realized the depth of the sin and is willing to confess!" ”

Several guests couldn't help but look at each other expectantly.

And Pingshou Fan Xiu didn't hear it, but he still reprimanded the two waiters on the left and right first, ordered the water to come up, and then turned his face and said lightly: "Since that's the case, please come back again!" ”

Moments later, Hosokawa was escorted back by two of his own soldiers.

In this short period of time, there was no sign of being beaten and abused on Hosokawa Shinyuki's body except for the placket of his clothes that were slightly messy, and there was no external wound on his flesh, just a few drops of water on his face that had not been wiped clean.

But he was panting, his eyes were blank, his cheeks were tense, his chest was heaving violently, and he was coughing incessantly, as if he had been treated extremely harshly.

Pingshou Fan Xiu coughed lightly, raised his head and motioned to Shihe Depository and Miyoshi Yasunaga to continue to ask and confront him.

Hosokawa Mayuki heard this cough, subconsciously looked sideways, and saw Hiratum's face, and suddenly trembled all over, shrunk into a ball, and was as frightened as a mouse seeing a flower cat.

When asked again, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and shook off in fear.

It turned out that this guy claimed to have been instructed by a "behind-the-scenes boss" last year, so he had the idea of connecting in private.

The "boss behind the scenes" said that "if he defeats Takeda today, he will have the potential to be a great shock to the Lord, and it will be a great disaster for", claiming that he would contact many forces near the Seto Inland Sea to check and restrain them.

He also gave a sum of money as a fund for the event, and ordered to "develop the offline line" in Awa and Sanuki.

So Hosokawa Shinyuki used the excuse that "the Heite Criminal Department is about to rectify Shikoku", and found an agent who thought he was hidden, and sent a secret letter to the "fellow practitioners" who thought they would be dissatisfied with Hite, as a temptation.

I never thought that I would be reported before I tried it a few times.

In addition, Hosokawa Shinyuki may have broken the jar and said frankly: "That's right! I did deliberately do a lot of things that were not good for you! I just hate you Miyoshi clan so much! Back then, the rebellious man of the three good righteous sages killed my biological father, forcibly humiliated my mother, and forced me to recognize the thief as my father! I have a bearded eyebrow, I can bear this shame like this! ”

It's embarrassing to say this.

It was indeed Miyoshi Yoshiken, with the assistance of his brother Miyoshi Chokei, who killed Awa's guardian Hosokawa Chitakaka, married his widow Okamoto, and kept Hosokawa Shinyuki, who was fifteen years old at the time, as a puppet.

Perhaps because the Okamoto clan was tight enough and the kung fu was deep enough, Miyoshi Yoshiken did not kill or imprison Hosokawa Shinyuki, but gave him relatively good treatment.

What are the rights and wrongs, grievances and hatreds in this, which are really not something that outsiders can see......

Having said that, on the one hand, Hosokawa Shinnoshi is very talented, has low eyes, and always thinks about intrigues, but he doesn't have the ability of Matsunaga Shu and Ukita Naoke.

On the other hand, the true identity of the "boss behind the scenes" is also very subtle......

Some of you have already guessed the clue and tacitly feigned ignorance.

However, that guy from Hosokawa Mayuki probably felt that he was going to die, and before being escorted down, he suddenly struggled and shouted: "Actually, the lord who instructed me behind the scenes is the current princess!" It is Yoshiaki of Kyoto's Nijo Imperial Palace! Although he didn't show up himself, he asked his cronies and retainers to show the token! Hehe, I said that Lord of the Hirate Punishment Department, you have to be careful, haha, now it's the shogunate who wants to deal with you! Hmph, as for you people from the Miyoshi family, you will be involved and wait for ......"

Before he was gagged, he kept calling out in quick words, uttering a lot of shocking information.

The draw was silent, not at all surprised.

Nobuyasu Ataka was struck by lightning, and his face collapsed in disbelief.

Shihe Depository lowered his head to hide his expression, pinched the wine glass hard, and the green tendons in his hands were rising.

Miyoshi Yasunaga immediately plucked out his ears, half curious and half panicked: "What did Hosokawa say just now?" Why can't I hear a word? Could it be that I am old and deaf? Oops, how's that good? ”

Then An Zhai Xinkang and Shihe Depository suddenly realized, and said in unison that there was something wrong with their ears just now, and they couldn't hear what was being said.

It's just two young fresh meat, and this acting skill is far inferior to the old drama bones.

Pingshou Fanxiu smiled and nodded in understanding, pointed to the teapot and said, "It seems that the problem is in this water, I didn't expect this old tea to be so harmful to the ears when drunk!" As luck would have it, I didn't hear what Hosokawa said either. ”

Shinichi Hosokawa, who was tied up and gagged, looked at this group of hypocrites with incredible contempt on his face, trying to continue talking, but he could only make a "woo-woo" sound.

At this time, Pingshou Fanxiu slowly continued to drink a sip of tea that was "harmful to the ears", and suddenly took the case, and said seriously: "This matter must be strictly investigated!" How many people have received a secret letter from Shinyuki Hosokawa? How many of them are really moved? Even if you are not moved, concealing it and not reporting it should be punished! ”

Anzhai Xinkang and Shihe Cunbao are distracted, and they are only promises, and they have no intention of talking.

Only Miyoshi Kangchang stroked his beard, and responded with a serious face: "The old man must support the actions of the Lord of the Criminal Department." However, in this matter, our Miyoshi clan is also involved, and it is not appropriate to participate in the investigation. Might as well...... How about you allow us to go and assist Tosa's Nagamune Ibu family in advance and start preparing for the attack on Kyushu? ”

Between the questions and answers, it seems that the incident of Hosokawa Shinyuki blatantly climbing Ashikaga Yoshiaki just now has not happened.

In his heart, he couldn't help but glance at Miyoshi Kangcho.

However, what should be done is to continue to do, at most it is an adjustment in the direction and details.

At this point, Awa and Sanuki must work hard and hard, and never allow the former land snakes to continue to entrench, this determination is unshakable.

However, the remaining remnants of the Miyoshi clan can be considered again.

Ten Rivers Deposit Insurance has some overall vision, but the experience is too insufficient, and the means are too immature. Anzhai Xinkang is honest and useless, and it is only suitable to be hung as a mascot and decoration, filling the façade.

However, this has never been in the core power circle, and now Miyoshi Yasunaga, who is in his fifties, is actually a person worth studying.

You might as well hope for him and give him a suitable opportunity.

Maybe it will be a weakened version of the elder sect of my family, but it is not known.

As for Hosokawa Shinyuki, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the boss behind the scenes......

The stakes are too high to be discussed. It is precisely because the stakes are not small that the tie is not worried.
