Chapter 36: The Tender Trap
Izumi country, Tamwa Port.
The Tie Sho Punishment Department gathered a large army to enter Yamato, and after a month, the good news finally came, which lifted the spirits of all sides up and down.
The nerves that have been tense for a long time can finally take a break.
So the tie Fan Xiu deliberately opened his favor, not only rewarding the three armies on the front line, but also ordering the rear to relax appropriately to boost morale.
Ina Tadaji, the chief commissioner of Kishiwada Castle who was planning money and grain, received an order from the lord and announced that all members of the logistics team could take turns in batches, and each person would have two days off.
From the New Year's year to May, the commissioners, scholars, subordinates, and employees were all overjoyed and grateful, and they took the "bonus" and "overtime pay" from some time ago, and went to the taverns, accommodations, and whale houses in the city to enjoy life.
In terms of quality, of course, Kaimachi is the most satisfying, but the itinerary is a little farther, and there are only two days off in total, so I don't want to spend too much time on the road. Since the surname of Hite, this Kishi Wada Castle can be described as vibrant, a thousand miles a day, even if it cannot be compared with Kaimachi, Ishiyama, Kyoto, but it can also be called the top level of the second line, the staff of the entertainment venue is naturally not lacking, from the appearance to the professional technology and service attitude is also quite desirable, the cost performance is very pleasant, enough to soothe the body and mind.
Only a few high-ranking samurai who can afford to raise a good horse are able to take a leisurely "Kaimachi road trip".
It is said that after the establishment of the "Metropolitan Police Department" in Haruyasu of Hattori, the security in the vicinity of Izumi has indeed been greatly improved, at least there is no trace of a large-scale criminal group that is clearly blocking the road and robbing it. On the one hand, the samurai lords were reluctant to be subject to the control of this department, and on the other hand, they had to admit that this department still had some effect.
Five years ago, if you didn't bring seven or eight elite guards, would you dare to ride a horse alone to Kaimachi?
As for those "super-superior samurai" who know how to do thousands of stones or more, it's another way to play.
No matter how high-level and bright the Goolan Washer is, the big shots will not go to the door - at least not publicly, that is for fear of losing their identity! I really fancy some Oiran geisha or something.,Send a little guy to it.,Please go home.。
The businessmen engaged in this "special industry" generally do not operate in a large size, and their connections are not connected, so they never dare to offend the high-ranking and powerful samurai masters. Otherwise, there will be people at both ends of the three days to search, today is to hunt down the three good remnants, tomorrow is to suspect Takeda spies, a group of heavily armed old men, fierce and evil standing at the door, how can you continue this business?
However, in the recent period, most of the big men with status are not at home, and they have gone out with the Tieshou Criminal Department, and there are not many left.
For example, among the "Awaji New Sento", the banner leader Anzhai Nobuyasu temporarily assumed the position of "powerful general", and took 860 heroes selected from the subordinates to join the expeditionary force as "Awaji Shi", and went to Yamato, and now he is still stationed near Shinguiyama Castle, and he will definitely not be able to return in the short term.
At this time, staying at home and being responsible for participating in the logistics work was Nobuyasu's younger brother, Anzhai Qingyasu, the second son of Anzhai Dongyasu, who ranked third among the three good four brothers. He commanded the remaining 275 registered soldiers of the "Awaji Shinsenzhong" and more than 40 medium-sized ships, and under the unified coordination of Ina Tadaji, he focused on sea transportation, which can be regarded as a return to his old profession.
On the day that Ina Tadaji announced the holiday, Ataka Kiyoyasu generously took out his personal pocket and gave an extra "festival fee" to several of his right-hand brothers, telling them to go to Kishiwada Castle Town to "rest well and not be afraid to spend money", but he returned to the brand-new "sea view house" next to Minato Town leisurely.
The retainers below know that this well-informed "second young master" is playing the mood of "Jinwu Zangjiao", and they disdain to go to messy "entertainment venues", and no one will have the eyesight to disturb people's interest.
And yet—
There is a "golden house" - not to mention whether it is gold or not, it is a good house, and "Jiao" is indeed hidden in the house, but the development process of things is slightly different from the situation imagined outside.
……
On the third day of the fifth month, at midnight, the sky is drizzling, the moon is dark and the stars are gone, the sea breeze is coming, and the water waves are not alarmed.
In the new house of the Azuku family, under the dim light, Ataku Kiyoyasu trembled with his left hand and pinched the palm-sized piece of paper, his heart was pounding, and his mind was terrified, but he glanced at the small pocket tightly held by his right hand, but he couldn't help but smile greedily.
On the one hand, there is the risk of political future, and on the other hand, there is considerable money, and ......
Measured by the two, I don't know which is more important.
After thinking about it for a long time, his eyebrows wrinkled into a mess, and Anzhai Qingkang couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
After hesitating, suddenly a slender jade arm like a pink sculpture slowly stretched out from behind him, gently wrapping around his neck.
The girl's voice, which was as crisp and pleasant as the tinkling of spring water, sounded from behind Kiyoyasu Atakaku:
"Lord Qingkang, my uncle...... Please, if you are embarrassed by this, don't promise him! It's good to get the gold, but if you get into trouble because of it, the concubine will be worried......"
This timid and delicate soft voice entered the ears, and Anzhai Qingkang's heart was hot, and he finally made up his mind. So he restrained all his hesitation and worry, changed his expression to a bamboo in his chest, half-turned his waist and smiled, reached out and stroked the tips of the beauty behind him, sniffed it happily through his nose, and then smiled heartily, and jokingly said: "What do you say?" What's the trouble for me about this little thing? I'm just thinking about the details. Aaya, you've been with me for so long before you make a request. Not to mention such a gesture, even if it is really something as difficult as the sky, I can't refuse it......"
Not all of what Ataka Kiyoyasu said was intentional, at least a small part of it was sincere.
The woman called "Aaya" came from the eastern country and came to the port of Awawa in Izumi Province for a year. Her family is a small merchant who walks around, and she has obtained a Miao character of "Kudo" by donating money and pulling connections, and she can barely be regarded as a samurai.
This girl is said to have died early, and her temperament was afraid of life, and she was originally out of the door, but she contracted a serious illness two years ago, and she was not cured in the countryside for a long time, so she was taken by her uncle and cousin to Kai Town for medical treatment.
The medical conditions in the first-tier cities are definitely much better than in the eastern countryside, so Aya's health is getting better day by day, and under the advice of her doctor, she often goes to the fields around Kai Town.
But this step, I happened to meet a robber who killed people and oversold goods, and I ran into the second young master of the An Zhai family who was swaggering and traveling. After a heroic rescue of beauty, his beautiful and unconventional temperament was immediately taken aback. Anzhai Qingkang treated her uncle with both soft and hard, and brought it back the next day as a concubine.
The Aya girl of the Kudo family, who is simple-minded, ignorant of the world, was arranged to live in ignorance, and has no intention of resisting, and has accepted her fate since then, serving her husband wholeheartedly, neither knowing the art of fighting for favor and love, nor how to ask for clothes and makeup, which is very different from other "bewitching sluts".
If there are any shortcomings, it is nothing more than that the "posture level" needs to be improved. But on the other hand, she regards her husband as the sky, obediently obeys orders, and will accept any scale of training without hesitation, which just satisfies the inferior nature of men who are good teachers.
Anzhai Qingkang has this treasure, and it has always been very favored.
"Hmm...... Adult, don't say such scary things......" Listening to the man's "broken bones" love words, Aya didn't have much joy on her face, but fell into Aya Qingkang's arms with a worried face, "The world is so chaotic, adults must take care, even if it's for Aya...... If something happens to you, I won't be able to live......"
"Haha, haha." Ataka Kiyoyasu proudly hugged the jade figure on his chest, pretending to hesitate: "It's difficult to say this, I'm a samurai, and I always have to go to the battlefield, that's a matter of swords without eyes......"
"Uh......h How can this be......" Aya's eyes were filled with tears.
"Unless you have the ability of the Lord of the Tie Punishment Department, strategizing, lupine scarf, talking and laughing to retreat from the enemy, you don't need to charge into battle by yourself. It's a pity that my wisdom is far from catching up with his old man......"
"No one has ever seen a tie in the penalty. You are the most powerful person in the body and soul of the concubine. Aya tilted her head and stared at her man with admiration: "That day, you rescued me from the hands of robbers as if you had fallen from the sky, and the concubine felt that the great god of Hachiman was nothing more than that......"
"This little girl is really good at talking...... "An Zhai Qingkang felt a heat somewhere on his body, smiled, and suddenly pretended to be a troubled expression and said: "Actually, even a noble person like the Lord of the Pingshou Criminal Department will inevitably have to go into battle in person sometimes, and he doesn't dare to say that there is no risk at all." Oda Danmasa back then, what kind of hero was that? It's not like you've been killed by a few ninjas......"
"That'...... You must be careful to be safe......" Aya burst into tears as she heard this.
"Well...... The only thing I can do now is to reward you with a son, and if something happens to me in the future, there will also be children who will accompany you to live......" An Taka Kiyoyasu's hand reached into the hem of the woman's clothes with bad intentions, "Without further ado, let's start acting!" ”
"Huh...... Is that so? Aya tilted her head stupidly, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Of course, that's a nice gesture from me!" As he spoke, Kiyoyasu had already pressed the woman to the floor.
"Hmm...... That one...... Concubinage...... The concubine thanked the adults for their mercy...... The concubine will definitely work hard...... Make an effort by all means...... The ...... of trying to conceive a baby"
Before he could say the rest of the words, his lips were already gagged.
Before completely losing his mind, Ataka Kiyoyasu took a few seconds to reminisce a little.
Aya's uncle, that "Yujiro Kudo", actually wanted to borrow the Awaji warship to transport some precious goods and escape the inventory of the port.
Anyway, the more than 40 ships are not fully loaded most of the time, so what's the problem with extra cargo?
There is no embezzlement of public funds, and there is no contraband, at most it is a petty crime of smuggling and tax evasion.
Thinking of this, Kiyoyasu Ataku finally convinced himself, so he stopped thinking about distractions and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the noble work of "making the next generation".
For a while, the voice is coquettish, and the house is full of spring, no problem.
