Chapter 85 Joint Appeal (II)
In order to avoid many dreams at night, the monk Nissin immediately took out his own pen and paper, quickly wrote the appeal pleadings, read them to the illiterate peasants, and then asked all the audience to press their handprints one by one.
The words on the pleadings have been carefully considered, not only expressing respect for the ruling power of the Miyoshi family, but also revealing the posture of preferring jade to be broken rather than complete. He only demanded that the evil samurai of the common people be punished and that the illegally accumulated property be returned, and that he would not shirk the normal taxation and forced labor in the future.
Then, from among the fifty or sixty healthy adults, ten men in the prime of life were selected to serve as the "representatives of the people's will." Toyama and Ye, who claimed to want to break with the "reactionary family", were additionally included.
Although it was the first time that the Nissin monk had done something similar, he was already familiar with the heroic deeds and successful experiences of his ancestors, and he did not look like a novice at all.
He is undoubtedly the plenipotentiary leader of this operation.
The village is not far from Katsurui Castle, the main town of the Miyoshi family, only 130 towns (about 14 kilometers), and can be reached in an hour and a half by young people with neat legs.
The women of the peasant households worked overnight to make a flag to identify themselves from discarded cloth. Ten representatives of the people's opinion brought some dry food and wrapped them around, and as soon as the ugly hour passed, they got up and hurried away, and rushed to the gate of Shengrui City at dawn.
Raise their own flags and shout together: "When the people of Yuanshan Village encounter injustice, I implore Lord Awamori (Miyoshi Choji) to uphold justice!" ”
When the guards standing guard saw this posture, they really didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly divided their men to the city to find the leader.
A moment later, a man who was neatly dressed and looked like at least an intermediate-level samurai appeared.
"These people are idle all day long, as if they have nothing to do......"
The warrior scolded and scolded, looked unkind, and walked over with a big belly, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly raised his eyes and saw a monk with a calm and calm temperament, so he changed his face stiffly.
"Hehe, it turned out to be a master...... The contemptible Ogasawara Motomasa, dare to ask what is the name of the master? Which sect and which school of eminent monks did you inherit? ”
The Nissin monk glanced at the other party expressionlessly, and replied without any waves:
"The poor monk Nisshin is a new disciple who has always been a minor in the sect, and he can't afford the title of 'master'. As for the teacher...... I practice at Ishiyama Honganji Temple all the year round, and the name of the precept is called 'Rin', I wonder if you have heard of it? ”
"Ichizong...... Ishiyama Honganji Temple...... "That Ogasawara Motomasa's religious knowledge seems to be very limited, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand, his eyes rolled, and he confessed: "The contemptible person is suddenly in a hurry, the master please wait for a while, I will come when I go!"...... ”
With that, the warrior ran back to the city.
After a cup of tea, it came out slowly.
This time, Ogasawara Motomasa became more solemn and cautious, and it seems that he already knows that "entering" is the legal name of Shimoma Yoriyo, and he also knows who Shinma Yoriren is.
"It's a distinguished guest from Ishiyama Honganji Temple! We are fortunate to have a good meeting, but we apologize for not being able to entertain you. I don't know what advice the master has when he comes to the gate of Shengrui City today? ”
The samurai asked respectfully.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Monk Nisshin folded his hands, closed his eyes and recited a Buddhist verse, and slowly replied: "This time I am here for the people of Yuanshan Village, Banno County!" There was a samurai named Toyama Daigoro in that village who did evil, and falsely passed on the order to squeeze the people's wealth, and the adherents did not know why they sat idly by and ignored it, and the people couldn't bear it anymore, so they had to appeal here! ”
"That's the case...... Ogasawara Motomasa breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and glanced at the representatives of the people's opinion, not paying much attention to it, "Since there is a master of the sect who has come forward, we will definitely pay attention to this matter, do it as soon as possible, and return the people to a clean house, please go back and wait for the news for the time being!" ”
As an intermediate-level samurai, he was only worried that someone had inadvertently offended Ishiyama Honganji, and as for the fact that lower-level samurai bullied mud legs, it had long been commonplace, and it was not a big problem.
"I'm sorry! The villagers of Yuanshan Village have been persecuted for a long time and can no longer bear it! The monk Nissin sternly rejected the other party's suggestion, "Please also ask Ogasawara Temple, you can do well, and tell Awamori-samaru (Miyoshi Choji) on your behalf!" ”
"Master...... You say that, but it makes me embarrassed. Although Ogasawara Motomasa was very friendly, he did not make any concessions in his words, "The lord he ...... He can't spare time to deal with this matter for the time being, so he can only ask you to go back first! ”
"In that case...... The poor monk is at the door and waits until Awamori-sama has time! "The Nissin monk is determined and uncompromising.
The ten peasants behind him, including Yuanshan and Ye, were a little frightened when they saw the neatly dressed mid-level samurai, but when they saw their leaders so calm and free, they were also infected by emotions, and felt that the nobles in the city were not as terrible as they imagined.
"Why bother...... Ogasawara Motomasa shook his head helplessly, "It's so cold, why do you have to be here against the wind and rain, Master?" It's a big fuss, and the lord will definitely have to scold me when he comes back, isn't this hurting others and not benefiting himself? ”
"When you come back?" Monk Nissin keenly caught the loophole in the other party's words, and hurriedly asked: "You mean, Lord Awamori, is he not in the city at this time?" ”
"Uh......" Ogasawara Motomasa was speechless for a while, and then shook his head in frustration, breaking the jar: "Forget it, it's okay to tell you, anyway, many people already know!" That's right, the lord has gone out for eagle hunting, and he has been there for two days, and no one knows when he will come back, and it will take three or five days if he doesn't do well, so Master Nissin, you are waiting for this, and it is also in vain! ”
"Okay......" A hint of triumph flashed in Monk Nissin's eyes, and he immediately changed to a helpless expression, "Since that's the case, it's really in vain, let's leave." ”
"Very good, very good!" Ogasawara Motomasa suddenly raised his eyebrows, "The master is really reasonable!" Thank you so much! ”
After saying this, Ogasawara Motomasa immediately ran back to the city, standing on the city wall and watching, hoping that the group of representatives of the public would evacuate as agreed.
At this time, the monk of Nissin turned around and bowed to the peasants, and sincerely apologized: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, it's all poor monks who didn't think it through, but I didn't expect Lord Awa Mamoru to be in the city at all, today we came to appeal not only without results but also exposed our intentions, alas, I'm really sorry!" ”
"You can't say that!" Xiong Ji of the rectum hurriedly waved his hand and denied it, "Master Nissin is kind enough to help, it's too late for us to be grateful!" It's a thousand mistakes, to put it bluntly, it's all the guy from Daigoro Toyama, and ...... In short, it's the fault of Daigoro Toyama! ”
"That's it!" The people next to him hurriedly helped.
In fact, in addition to Toyama Daigoro, the people are also beginning to be dissatisfied with Miyoshi Nagaji - it's hard to come here, the lord is actually in Eagle Hunting, and no one knows how long it will take to return?! It's so irresponsible!
"Well, it was my mistake after all." The Nissin monk was not relieved when he heard the words of the peasants, and continued to blame himself. After a long sigh, he reached out and took out a small bag of heavy objects from his arms, handed it to Xiong Ji with both hands, and said, "Here are ten taels of silver, which was given by the master when I left the stone mountain." You take the money back and let the people in the village share it equally, so that you can make up for the loss. As far as I know, there are several families who have been robbed of their surplus wealth at the bottom of the box, and with this money of mine, at least I can buy some food and not starve to death! ”
"This ...... This ......" Xiong Ji took it with both hands, only to feel that this small bag of silver weighed a thousand catties, and fell to the ground with a plop, kowtowed three times in a row, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I...... I really don't know how to say it! Thank you, Master, thank you, Master! ”
"No need." Monk Nissin shook his head, folded his hands, looked up slightly into the distance, and pondered: "Today's events can't be hidden, and you have to be like a way to save you from the persecution of that distant mountain Daigoro......"
"Leave this to me!" Yuanshan and Ye immediately stood up, stroking her chest, there were tears in her eyes, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Monk Nissin, "I will definitely not let my grandfather and uncle continue to do bad things!" ”
"That'...... Just ask Miss Ye! The monk of Nisshin bowed down and made a big salute, and then without waiting for the rest to react, he got up and patted the soil on the hem of his clothes, clenched his fists and said, "Although the matter was not done today, the poor monk will not give up." To tell you the truth, in the nearby villages such as Kuroya and Ueda, there have also been cases of evil samurai mutilating the people! Now all of you should go back to your hometown first, and the poor monk will go and launch more villagers to protest, no matter how much Lord Awamori is addicted to eagle hunting, you must bring him back to deal with business! If there really is no one who can give us justice, then ...... I can only get justice back by myself! ”
"Master!" Xiong Ji was enthusiastic when he heard this, and slapped his thigh suddenly, "I'll go with you!" I don't know anything, but at least I have the strength to do some rough work for you! ”
"Are you going along?" Monk Nissin asked rhetorically, "This is very dangerous!" Those evil warriors will jump over the wall as soon as they notice what we're doing! ”
"I'm not afraid of death!" Xiong Ji shook his head vigorously, "I recently met you, and I realized that instead of living a lifetime, it is better to sacrifice my life to do something big!" ”
"That's good!" Nissin patted the other party's shoulder with relief, "From now on, we will live and die together!" ”
"I'm going with you too!" When Yuanshan and Ye heard that there was a risk, they subconsciously grabbed the left arm of the Nissin monk with both hands, and stared at each other tightly, so that they could no longer see others in their eyes for a while.
"And Miss Ye, I can't help it!" When the monk Nissin heard this, his face immediately changed, and then he instantly thought of the best reason: "...... Don't forget, you have to go back to the village to shelter the innocent villagers! ”
These words were indeed very convincing, and Yuan Shan and Ye looked gloomy and reluctantly let go of their hands.
"Don't worry! And Miss Ye, we'll see you when it's done. ”
"Then you have to be careful when you go, Master Nissin...... Or rather, Hattori-sama Heiji......"
