Chapter Forty-Nine: There Are Successors

Just like every ordinary family's view of her son's adulthood and independence, the mother is very worried and reluctant - after all, she is just such a child, and although the father is concerned, he always thinks that "this day will come and should be faced calmly".

As for Yoshimitsu Hirate, although he still behaves calmly and calmly all day long, he is extremely precocious, but he is happy in his heart. Parents and relatives or anything, I didn't think about it at all.

For the first time in his life, the young eagle spreads its wings and soars, free and easy, how can it not cheer?

Taking advantage of the momentum of victory, as soon as he came to Kyoto, he obtained the official position of "from the five to the middle minister", and he came and went up to the ministers and monks, down to the merchants and the countrymen, all of them were courteous and flattering, which really satisfied the self-esteem of the young people.

Anyway, there is no actual business to deal with in front of you, so it is impossible to make any mistakes that make people criticize, all you have to do is to accumulate contacts and qualifications, in other words, "pretending to be ordered".

In addition, after Tokugawa Ieyasu imprisoned Nobuyasu and Tsukiyamaden, he escorted Oda Gotoku to Kyoto to "become a monk", which was equivalent to coming to the Herate clan's sphere of influence.

Originally, when he was a child, Yoshimitsu always felt that this eldest lady was rude and willful, pampered, and there was nothing to like, but because of friendship and family position, he had to be helped by the market.

But now, she has become a poor surviving person, has lost everything to be proud of, and is suspected of being the culprit of "assisting her father in instigating her husband's rebellion", the Tokugawa family has drawn a clear line, and the Oda family does not dare to offer protection.

Among them, the attitude of her brother Oda Nobutada was particularly disappointing.

So now Oda Gotoku can be said to live in fear and depression all day long, living like a year, and the future is uncertain. At this moment, Yoshimitsu Hirade, a childhood sweetheart, suddenly appeared and gave her full and powerful protection, which is tantamount to the only salvation and comfort.

On the other hand, the eldest lady has always looked down on her husband who was appointed by her parents, and has an ambiguous admiration and admiration for the wisdom and demeanor of Chiyomaru, a member of the Heite family...... She probably didn't fully realize this herself.

All in all, as the attendant servant secretly said, after meeting, he "fell into his arms and cried bitterly for half an hour", which was also uncontrollable and natural.

There are even occasional developments that the servants do not see, such as "you have to touch your head before you eat", "you can only fall asleep when you tell stories at night".

In addition to being a childhood sweetheart with deep feelings, Wude also inherited the characteristics of the Oda family's high appearance, and as he grew older, he was already a beautiful woman with a generous appearance, so Heite Yoshimitsu was really hard to refuse this obsessive attitude.

As we all know, pathetic male creatures are always led by the nose by instinctive nature.

No matter how high the status and how rich the wealth, it is no exception.

Occasionally, Yoshimitsu Hirate will be a little ashamed when he remembers his unmarried fiancΓ©e in his hometown, but when he thinks about it, everyone in the high-level samurai is hugged left and right, and his father also has more than a dozen wives and concubines? The battle of Ishikawa was so shocking and fierce, and he still had the heart to secretly accept the daughter of the Kyogoku family as a side room...... So the festival was forgotten.

In this way, if it is really the second generation of adults who are alone, they may have to indulge in the trap of gentleness. Fortunately, there are also three auxiliary existences of Kawada Nagakin, Honda Masanobu, and Konishi Yukinaga.

Of course, Yoshimitsu himself also has a little self-control, and he doesn't need to rush at all, and most of his time and energy is devoted to business. Except for Wude, who really couldn't refuse, other speculators who intended to sacrifice their daughters for glory were politely refused.

In addition to the retreat, the only practical matter at hand is to deal with the case of Takigawa Kazuki and Nakagawa Yoshitoshi reporting each other and saying that the other party is hiding the remnants of the chaotic party.

Due to the limited technical means and experience, as well as the lack of professionals, the main method of trial is to detain all the relevant persons involved in the case, question them one by one, and then compare them to find out the contradictions. Both sides are people with some status, so it is impossible to torture them, at most they are forced to ask questions.

The second is to collect documents and materials in the residences of those people, looking for clues.

Both are very boring and don't have much technical content.

However, most of the samurai of this era did not have anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and even the fear made many people who had never seen the world lose their courage, and they successively recruited a lot of useful information.

Yoshimitsu Hirate stared at it seriously for a day or two, and learned from a miscellaneous servant in Nakagawa Katoshi Castle that there was indeed an unidentified mysterious figure in recent days.

Then he followed the vine and touched the melon, traced back to the source, found the guard who was drunk and bragged to the miscellaneous servants, and from the guard, he led out an intermediate samurai who knew how to do 400 stones.

Another search and interrogation is terrible.

This samurai called "Toda Haemon", his appearance was still upright, his scheming was not deep, and he didn't talk to Honda Masanobu for a few words, so he fell into the trap and couldn't justify himself, and after carrying his face convulsively for a while, he confessed his "crime" in full.

It turned out that this person had been negligent and lazy when he was on duty in Komakiyama Castle in the past, which led to some firewood being burned, but fortunately Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was in charge of the fire at the time, helped to fill up the hole to cover up the past.

That was five days ago.

Now Kinoshita Hideyoshi has started again, and he doesn't know where to run.

When he learned of this festival, Kawada Naga went to accept the official position and entertain the "angels" without being present. Honda Masanobu and Konishi Yukicho both looked at each other with complicated expressions, but they didn't say a word and waited to see the reaction of the second generation.

At that time, Heite Yoshimitsu did not think about it, and decided: "Although this matter can be investigated for the fault of the Imperial Majesty's laxity, but Nakagawa Katoshiden took the initiative to go to Kyoto to be tried so frankly, because he was convinced that I was in the Heite family and could not disappoint him." In this way, this matter will not be made public for the time being, and you will secretly inform Nakagawa Jiajun Hall from Hondaden, and ask him to come to me tomorrow to ask for guilt, and say to the outside world that he voluntarily surrendered and cleaned up the portal, so that there is no fault but merit. ”

Honda Masanobu calmly bowed his head to receive the order, and Governor Konishi was a little surprised.

Almost at the same time, a similar thing happened to Takigawa Kazuki, who also confessed that a middle-level samurai named "Ida Daizaburo" collaborated with the enemy to protect the fugitives.

But this "Ida Daizaburo" was very strict-mouthed, and he would never admit that there was such a thing, and insisted on responding: "Although Shibata-sama has helped me a lot in the past, everyone understands the current situation, how could I do such a stupid thing to cause disaster to the family for personal favors?" Some of the words that come out of people's mouths are probably nonsense after getting drunk, and the other part is made up by people who have a grudge against me. ”

It is indeed difficult to convict when there is no physical evidence, only human witnesses, and the human witnesses are still quite lax.

Yoshimitsu Hirate didn't talk nonsense, and directly called Takigawa Kazuki over and said to him: "Although there is a lot of evidence that there are indeed doubts under the command of Takigawa Palace, after all, you are a long-time colleague of your father, and you don't ask about those trivial things." However, in order to prove your innocence, clear your name, and convince the people of the world, I hope that you will take on the task of tracking down Shibata, Kinoshita and others, and only after you have successfully brought them to justice will you restore your knowledge and deeds, is it okay? ”

This is unexpected, but it sounds very reasonable.

Takigawa Kazuyi, who was "able to advance and retreat" on the battlefield, was actually not a person who was good at political skills, and was immediately forced to step down by the resignation of the junior in front of him.

If you refuse to propose at this moment, it will be as if you have been convicted of being involved with Shibata and others.

It's hard to say.

After thinking about it before and after, he really couldn't find a reason, so Takigawa Yiyi had to swallow his anger and agree.

……

Afterwards, the three auxiliary ministers discussed the matter, and Honda Masanobu and Konishi Yukicho all praised "there is a successor", but Kawada Naga said with emotion: "When the Lord of the Criminal Department is so old, I am afraid that his mind is not as meticulous as the young master is today. ”

This can be said about his qualifications, and the other two can only go in and out of the left ear and the right ear when they hear it, and they dare not pick up the stubble at will.
