Nozawa and Kuro are very entangled in their hearts at the moment.

Although he completed the task assigned to him by Tsugawa Soji and captured Kasai Kiyoyasu and Nakano Yoshikiyo and others, the most critical musket was lost! And it disappeared without a trace.

Nozawa and Kuro didn't understand, the musket was transported to Yuzawa Castle by himself with Shimada Kanbei and others, and they never saw any action from Shimada Kanbei and others on the way. And with such a big target as the Seven or Eight Grain Trolley, there is no possibility that it will be smuggled away from under the noses of the Tsugawa family by someone from the Mogami family!

But in that case, where are these muskets? How did it disappear?

"The musket is missing?" After hearing the news from Nozawa and Kuro, Tsugawa Soji didn't calm down for a while, "Since the person has been caught, why is the musket missing?" ”

"This is also an oversight on the part of the underneath! At that time, I saw these muskets being pushed into a commercial house by a cart by someone from the Mogami family. At that time, I asked the ninja to inform Lord Shimizu to lead the troops to surround Minezawa Castle! ”

Later, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi and Kasai Kiyoyasu were captured, and the other people who fled first were also caught, and the carts were transported back to Ueno Castle. However, when I arrived at Omori Castle, I found that there were no muskets on the cart at all! Speaking of this, Nozawa and Kuro lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Although Soji Tsugawa was a little unhappy, it was not easy to get angry at this time, "What is Nakano Yoshikiyo?" Where are the people? ”

"Nakano Yoshikiyo and others have been brought and are now being held in cells in the city." Nozawa and Kuro hurriedly replied.

"Then bring this person in, I'm curious what kind of character it is, who can actually transport the family's musket out of the family's territory without realizing it!" Soji Tsugawa said slowly.

...........

Walking on the streets of Ueno Castle, Yoshikiyo Nakano, who was tied with his hands tied, had mixed feelings in his heart.

I thought that this operation was foolproof and would never be detected by the Tsugawa family, but it turned out that he was caught by the Tsukawa family so quickly. Although the musket was successfully transported, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi himself was caught. The most important thing is that his identity has been exposed, as a retainer of the Tsugawa family's ally, the Mogami family, if his action had been quiet, he would have been safe, but now that he has been caught, the matter has been revealed, so it is conceivable whether the alliance between the Tsugawa family and the Mogami family can be maintained.

To be honest, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi was very worried.

The current Tsugawa family is not the Tsukawa family of two years ago. The Tsugawa family, which unified the North Okuba, can now be said to be in full swing, and it is not at all that it is still in the middle of the day. The most beautiful house in the cracked state can resist. If the Tsugawa family uses this as an excuse to target the Mogami family, then even if the Mogami family gets the musket, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep.

Thinking about it, Nakano Yoshikiyo came to the castle tower of Ueno Castle.

Looking at this gorgeous four-story castle tower, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi let out a long breath before slowly walking in.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Nakano Yoshikiyo saw Tsugawa Soji sitting on the main seat. Looking at that young face, it was difficult for Nakano Yoshikiyo to resemble such an achievement that such a young samurai had achieved such an achievement in just a few years.

"You're Nakano Yoshikiyo? Why are you silent? Looking at Nakano Yoshikiyo, who was speechless below, Tsugawa Soji asked in a deep voice.

Nakano Yoshikiyoshi slowly raised his head and said with no love, "There is nothing to say below, the matter has come to this point, everything is up to Lord Tsugawa!" ”

"Huh! It's a good sentence to let the family decide! A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Tsugawa Soji's face, "Nakano Yoshikiyo, the main family and the Mogami family belong to an alliance, and they should cooperate with each other and work together!" ”

"But I didn't expect you to plot your own family's musket and do such a shameless thing, it's really humiliating to the samurai!" Soji Tsugawa said resentfully.

After listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi said helplessly, "Lord Tsukawa, this matter is in the hands of the subordinates, and it has nothing to do with the family. If Tsugawa-sama wants to blame, he will take it all in his heart, and I just ask Tsugawa-sama not to cause a gap in his family because of this. ”

"Haha! It's ridiculous! Tsugawa Soji laughed angrily, "Although you are the head of the Nakano family, but in the final analysis, you are only a retainer of the Mogami family, and without the order of Mogami Yoshimori, you dare to do such a thing in your own family?" ”

"Do you think that this family is a three-year-old child, and you can be deceived at will?" Soharu Tsugawa stared straight into Nakano's eyes.

Nakano Yoshikiyo also froze. What he said just now was a "step" that Nakano Yoshikiyo specially found for the Tsugawa family.

After all, the matter has come out, and the Tsugawa family must be given an explanation, so Nakano Yoshikiyo hopes to resist all the guilt alone, so that the alliance between the Tsugawa family and the Mogami family can continue to be maintained.

It's a pity that Tsugawa Soji didn't appreciate it, and looking at this posture, it has a sense of pursuing it to the end. Thinking of this, Nakano Yoshikiyo suddenly felt a little regretful.

"So what does Tsugawa-sama think the family should do about this?" Yoshikiyo Nakano wanted to hear what Soji Tsugawa had to say.

Soji Tsugawa replied without thinking, "It's easy! You have stolen a total of 50 muskets and some ammunition from you! The Mogami family must return the full amount and apologize to the family for this matter! ”

After Soji Tsugawa finished speaking, Nakano Yoshikiyo was relieved, but he wanted to hand over this batch of muskets himself? How is this possible! Isn't it a waste of effort to hand over the musket that I managed to get with all my painstaking efforts? And the Mogami family has already offended the Tsugawa family, even if the musket is handed over, it will definitely not be able to save anything, so it is better to kill and not hand it over! At most, I will compensate the Tsugawa family for some losses.

Thinking of this, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi hurriedly said, "Lord Tsugawa, I can't hide it, this family stole your musket this time, and the original intention was to use it against the Tendo family and the Shiratori family. The family really needs these muskets, and I hope that Tsugawa-sama can complete the family. ”

"Of course, for this reason, the family is also willing to pay the corresponding amount of money to make up for the loss of Tsugawa-sama." Nakano Yoshikiyo continued.

"Huh!" Soji Tsugawa chuckled, then said with a smile, "You need to steal it?" It's a ridiculous joke! If you really need it, you should send an envoy to discuss with your family, and perhaps with the friendship between you and me, you can give or sell some to you! But you act like this, which makes my family very cold! "Gift? Just kidding, how much is the friendship of the top family worth? This is just a casual remark by Soji Tsugawa.

However, Nakano Yoshikiyo took it seriously, "Since Tsugawa-sama has this intention, why don't you buy the musket this time?" How about the price? "Nakano Yoshikiyo looks like he has a lot of money.

"Humph!" Soji Tsugawa snorted coldly, it seems that the top family is quite rich? If you don't cheat you, I'm sorry for 80,000 book friends! So, Soji Tsugawa continued, "Okay! A musket is 2,000 pieces, and if there are 50 guns, 100,000 pieces is good? ”

"Well, isn't it......... Wait a minute! Nakano Yoshikiyo's face suddenly changed, and he said with a look of disbelief, "How much did Tsugawa-sama say just now?" 100,000 times! How is this possible! ”
