The riots continued. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The iron-blooded panic caused by the bloody battle that had just taken place spread rapidly in the castle town of Edo Castle. The panicked crowd closed their doors and windows, hoping not to be involved in the riot.

Some ordinary people who had not yet had time to escape were drawn into the riots and died.

In the face of this cruel and bloody chaos, Ishimaru and Aye, who are wind demon ninjas, maintain the calm of the ninjas.

"What a miserable scene~ It's like hell on earth~"

"Keihachiro, we've seen a more miserable scene than this before......"

"I've forgotten everything for so long~ How long ago was that...... Well, it seems like it was fifteen years ago...... Ah Ye, you have a really good memory! ”

"Anyway, it's nothing compared to war!"

Ishimaru and Aye were chatting boringly while preparing for their next move.

Today, Ishimaruya is open as usual, but the two owners are no longer there.

"Ah Ye, I'll be in charge of that side in a while, after you get this side done, find a way to pick it up."

"yes, I see. Go ahead, it's almost time. ”

After Ishimaru explained a series of things to Aye somewhere in the castle town of Edo Castle, he immediately left the place and went to his post.

Ishimaru and Ah Ye had already prepared a series of things in the few places they were going to, just waiting for them to trigger them.

……

……

In the castle town of Edo Castle, there was a large granary used by the Tokugawa shogunate to store military rations, as well as other granaries used by ordinary merchants.

The granaries had always been managed by special men, and now they didn't know where they had gone, whether they were lying in the stinking ditches of the moat or buried under the dirt.

These granaries are distributed along the roads that the congregation passes. And this road, or street, has now become a bloody scene like hell.

Unable to overcome the already frantic crowd, the young samurai fled as best they could towards Edo Castle.

In the midst of this chaos, no one knows what is about to happen.

Just as the crowd continued on this street,

"Bang !!!!"

There was a loud explosion from the shogunate's granary, which was located on the right hand side in front of them!

Several people who were close to the granary were directly blown away by the explosion, and fell to the ground with blurred flesh and blood, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Immediately, the raging fire also burned violently in the granary. The flammable grain grains and other military rations in the granary immediately became the burial objects of the fire, adding a lot of fuel to the fire.

For a time, the fire in the granary was uncontrollable, and it burned violently and rapidly, swallowing up the roof tiles of the granary, and the entire granary became a place of fire.

Not only was the granary engulfed in flames, but the flames quickly spread from the granary to the ordinary shops and houses on the side. Ordinary houses made of wooden structures were immediately stained with flames, spreading the flames throughout the street.

Ordinary people whose houses had been burned for no apparent reason ran out of their burning homes in panic, throwing water on them in the hope of saving their homes.

Unfortunately, this was only a drop in the bucket, and the fire was not controlled, but continued to spread.

As a result, the castle town in the western part of Edo Castle has become a mess. The shouts of the crowd, the cries of the people, and the crackling of debris from the burning houses and granaries are the best expression of the chaos here.

The sea of fiery fire mixed with the bright red blood, and the smell of burning rosin from the wood mixed with the stench of the corpses, forming the present inexplicable and disgusting chaotic scene.

A crowd continued to move forward in this situation.

"This must have been specially detonated by Hattori Hanzo to stop us!!"

Many young and vigorous people in the congregation think so. So they didn't care so much, but chose to continue their march towards Edo Castle, where the shogun was.

It didn't take long for the explosion of the first granary to be followed by a sudden explosion in the second granary, which in turn caused more fires, more violent riots, and more panic.

At this time, after the escaped low-ranking samurai reported to the defenders in the castle, many retainers and samurai took the lead in quelling the riot before they could reach the shogun Hidetada.

Among them, a young samurai named Okubo Tadatsune also came with his retainers in person, hoping to quell the riots as soon as possible.

Okubo Tadashi was often one of the confidants and retainers of Shogun Hidetada, and the eldest son of Hidetada's most trusted and reliable family boss, Tadashi Kubo. He won the trust and love of his father, and was the most favored son of his loyal neighbors.

Zhong Chang, who is only in his twenties this year, is kind, gentle and down-to-earth, and he doesn't want to see the world strife. Therefore, when he had just become a father last year, he heard about the riots in the castle town just now, and immediately went out with several retainers.

"Young master, let's go back, it's really too chaotic here!"

One of the retainers of the loyal Chang said so.

"No, I'm going. It is the duty and honor of the Okubo clan to quell the riots in the city for the Shogun. Moreover, in the era of peace, such chaos is not tolerated, and I will stop them. ”

The young Tadatsune, who had never experienced any war, did not know the horror and ruthlessness of this, but was somewhat naïve to think that he could solve the source of the riot alone.

So Tadatsune rejected the retainer's offer and decided to go in person.

Several retainers tried hard to stop them, but they were still no match for the stubbornness of the loyal young man.

So, Tadashi went to the congregation of the Harmony Society, hoping to stop them from further action with words.

Of course, the congregation of the same heart would not have paid attention to his words at all. Instead, Tadatsune was treated by them as Hattori Hanzo's subordinate who stood in their way.

In the eyes of Tadashi in disbelief, Tongxin, who was already unable to distinguish things, would coldly swing his knife and slash at him. Tadatsune reacted immediately, drew his katana and fought to resist, but he was outnumbered, stabbed several times in the abdomen, fell to the ground, and was trampled on.

In this way, the young and excellent retainer Okubo Tadsune died under the sword of a crowd.

Several retainers who followed him were also killed, and several others saw the young lord die under the swords of a crowd, so they had to turn around and flee, hoping to report the matter to Tadatsune's father Okubo Tadashi as soon as possible, thinking that the young lord would avenge him.

The riots in the southwestern part of Edo Castle's castle town are getting louder and louder, and the riots are getting worse and worse. The sea of fire is still spreading. Not only the Tokugawa shogunate's military grain granaries, but also many ordinary granaries were destroyed and wrapped in raging fires, making it difficult to save.

It was evening, and the riots in Edo Castle continued.
