Chapter 60: The Outbreak of a Hammer

In the castle town of Edo Castle, a huge crowd of people is pouring towards Edo Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

They carried their own knives, kitchen knives, bamboo poles and other weapons, causing a huge commotion in the castle town.

The people of Edo don't know what was going on. They were taken aback by the crowd of black oppressors, and hurriedly put away their stalls and went home to avoid them. But some of the shop stalls that did not receive the news in time or some people who simply wanted to see the excitement were trampled by the crowd.

"Why isn't there a Tongxin Society to maintain law and order?"

The panicked people asked each other. They didn't know that these people were members of the Harmony Society.

"Could it be a pinch?"

"It's possible that the old man has personally experienced a pinch of Honganji in the past."

"What's possible, this is a pinch! But what is it for? ā€

Some of the more knowledgeable old people guessed based on what they had seen in the past.

"Oooooooooooooo!!!!oo

More than 100 members of the Tongxin Society, leading their nearly 1,000 family members, rampage through the castle town with great vigour, and the roar they emitted was as powerful and deafening as in the war.

At first people were just panicking, and it didn't rise to an atmosphere of fear.

"Down with Hanzo!!! Defeat Hanzo!!! Defeat Hanzo!!! ā€

"The wicked Hanzo will be punished!!!

This "legion" of nearly 1,000 men shouted these slogans so loudly and rushed towards Edo Castle in a desperate manner.

As they went, families immediately put away their belongings and locked their doors tightly.

This momentum has already attracted the attention of many people in the castle town of Edo Castle. Although there was no Tongxin Society to maintain law and order, there were quite a few low-ranking samurai in the castle town at this time.

Attracted by the commotion coming from the other side, these lower-ranking samurai temporarily gathered in front of the route where the Tongxin Society was advancing.

Seeing the commotion ahead, of course, these samurai of the Tokugawa family could not ignore it.

"Hey!! You civilians!! Stop!! Put down your weapons!! ā€

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, many samurai rushed to the crowd and raised their katana swords in order to make them stop in fear.

But things are not as easy as they think.

With an angry thousand-man army, how can you stop when a samurai of the next rank says stop?

The people of the Harmony Society were not intimidated by the samurai who appeared in front of them to block them. I don't know who shouted loudly in the crowd:

"They're all here to stop us!! This must be the ghost of that despicable villain Hattori Hanzo!! ā€

The crowd of the Tongxin Association was instantly aroused by this sentence.

"They must be Hanzo's people!!"

"Leave them alone!! We move on!! I will not give up until I go to Edo Castle!! ā€

"Woo-ah-ah-ah!!"

The arrogance of the people has become even higher. The men who walked in front raised their weapons and continued to move forward.

"Wait!"

An older samurai stepped forward.

"What the hell are you doing this? What the hell is going on? ā€

He was more steady, so he stabilized the young samurai, and then patiently stepped forward to ask.

"We're going to Edo Castle to sue Lord Tokugawa!!"

"You ...... To sue? ā€

"Yes!! We want to accuse Hattori Hanzo of his despicable deeds!! ā€

Hearing the crowd say the name of the masa, some of the low-ranking samurai who were familiar with the name of the masado took a sip of "phew".

"You untouchables!! Hattori Hanzo-sama, how can you pariahs talk nonsense! Go back to your own civilian den! Our general, I don't have time to see you! ā€

They laughed and laughed at everyone who was in the same heart. The older samurai tried to stop the young samurai from talking, but was unsuccessful.

Some of the more irritable members of the Tongxin Society scolded angrily when they heard these young junior warriors laughing at them like this.

"What do you pampered warriors know?!! Hurry up and get out of the way of the uncle!! We move on!! ā€

With that, he pushed away the young samurai who were in front of him, and continued to march forward with a group of people.

The samurai who were pushed away by them were also angry that they had been humiliated by a group of subordinates.

"These civilians are too rude!"

"That's right! I don't even take our samurai seriously! ā€

"Then let them know that the samurai can't be disobeyed!!"

But even if they said so, the crowd of the Tongxin Society rushed towards them with great vigour, completely ignoring their meaning.

When the samurai saw that the situation was not good, they could not advance or retreat. Some of the young and vigorous warriors were angry at the rudeness of these inferior people, and wanted to show them some color.

Ignoring the opposition of the old samurai, the young samurai rushed straight to the front of the group, pulled out several of the people in front, and without hesitation, raised their katana and slashed at them!

Thus, the first bloody case of the first conflict took place here.

The young samurai triumphantly kicked the corpse away, slamming their bloody katanas across the crowd, hoping that they would be terrified and retreat from it.

But they soon discovered that something was wrong.

Instead of showing their usual fear, the people of the Harmony Society looked angry at them with eyes that were almost full of mad hatred.

"They're Hanzo people!!"

"The one who killed Gosuke is unforgivable!!"

"Ahh!!hhh

The people, carried away by the madness and hatred, no longer had any worries and raised their weapons one after another.

The one who walked in front bore the brunt of the attack, raising his short knife and slashing at the young samurai who had just killed someone! The people behind him, men and women, rushed forward as if the switch had been turned on, fighting the samurai who were stunned by the situation as if they were desperately fighting.

For a time, the castle town was filled with the smell of blood and the deafening sound of fighting.

Although he was a samurai, he was surrounded and killed by nearly a thousand crazy people, and he couldn't escape the fate of being slashed after all.

The first troubles of Edo Ichikatsu began, and this broke out.

"W-What the hell is going on here?!"

"Are these people crazy?!"

"Hurry, hurry up and report to the guards in the city!!"

The samurai were shocked. Because most of the samurai present were relatively young, they had never encountered such a situation before. So I feel overwhelmed.

Some of the samurai who had barely escaped from their wounds were already frightened and fled to Edo Castle in panic.

Seeing that the obstacles to his progress had been removed, the Kinkai continued to march towards Edo Castle with bloody weapons.
