Chapter 181: Self-inflicted

Chapter 181 is self-inflicted

Hori Hidemasa felt at ease about the blackmail, even before the opening of the Sparrow House, he did this, in this era, this has become an unwritten rule, not only in the Oda family, but also in other powerful families, even if the retainers feel a little helpless, but they can only accept it. (Remember: Novel.com.)

Of course, the retainers could not give them any benefit in the face of blackmail, and the attendants would not be resentful of it, but they would not want to hear anything from their mouths in the future.

In their opinion, it is a very unseemly thing to ask for property from others, basically in line with the principle of your affection and my willingness, if you are willing to give, then I will accept it after pushing back.

However, today, Hori Hidemasa doesn't think so, he just wants to knock Kinoshita Toyoshiro hard now to relieve the hatred in his heart, anyway, he has made up his mind to completely break off diplomatic relations with him, and the other party has gone too far, if he doesn't let him bleed heavily, he won't have a long memory.

After a while, I saw Hori Hidemasa's eyes light up, and his face softened, only to hear him sigh and say: "Alas, Kinoshita-sama is not ignorant of the way, the servant next to the lord is not only the next one, even if he doesn't report this matter to the lord, who knows if Hasegawa Shuichi and Naomasa Ho will say, especially Naomasa Naomasa, who has just become the lord's servant for a short time, is in a hurry to perform, so if this matter is not dealt with in time, the lord will still know sooner or later, alas...... I don't know if this rumor can be quelled before the lord finds out. ”

Kinoshita Tojiro couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and he didn't answer, but hurriedly shouted outside the hall: "Someone"

As soon as the voice fell, the attendant outside the door was just about to enter, but was stopped by Kinoshita Koichiro, who was also serving outside the door, and he walked in quickly, Kinoshita Koichiro has been worried these days, since the eldest brother let himself, Asano Nagamasa and his subordinate Qimoto spread rumors, he already felt that something was wrong, Takayama is good to the family, if it is so framed, it is really a little too much, but since the eldest brother was promoted to the general, it began to become more and more arbitrary, and now it is difficult to listen to the advice of others, In addition, Kinoshita Koichiro didn't know what it was like in the castle tower that day, so after dissuading him to no avail, he finally handled the matter according to his eldest brother's words.

Otherwise, if he knew that there was only a large hall in the living room of the castle tower at that time, and the eldest brother and Takayama-sama, even if he was punished, he would definitely have prevented this from happening. (Baidu search update the fastest)

Just now, when he saw Hori Hidemasa coming with a cold face, he already felt that something was wrong, and when he waited outside the door just now, he also heard the conversation in the hall clearly, and then he couldn't help but worry about the future of his eldest brother, if the eldest brother sank, then where should he go?

As soon as Kinoshita Koichiro walked into the hall, he knelt down and saluted and said, "My subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." ”

"Well, go get thirty at once... Two hundred dollars to come. Kinoshita Toyoshiro gritted his teeth and said. He originally wanted Kinoshita Koichiro to take thirty kans, but when he thought that if it was distributed to them, each person would only have ten kans, and he wanted to gag their mouths, this money was obviously a little less, so he was ruthless and let him take two hundred kans, of which one hundred kan was for Hori Hidemasa, and the other one hundred kan was for Hasegawa Shuichi and Ho Naomasa, after all, this time he came to report the news, if he didn't give more, it would inevitably make him feel dissatisfied.

Kinoshita Koichiro saw that the matter had been revealed, although he was anxious, but he couldn't think of any way, it seemed that there was only one big blood, and he used money to settle it, but even if he stabilized the attendants around the main hall, this matter was not over, the rumors were still spreading in Owari, and if these dozens of people in the family wanted to quell the rumors, it would definitely not be an easy task, how should this be?

Even if you can hide the main hall for a while, it is absolutely impossible to hide it for a lifetime, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, the family will suffer from it, it seems that after Hori Hidemasa leaves, you have to discuss it with your eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Kinoshita Koichiro replied with a sad face, strode out of the hall, and went down to prepare. Fortunately, this time, in order to facilitate the spread of rumors, Kinoshita Toyoshiro brought all the money in the territory to Qingzhou City, otherwise, the more than 200 yuan of money would really not be able to be made up for a while. ,

In less than a cup of tea, Kinoshita Koichiro handed over the small wooden box in his hand to Kinoshita Toyoshiro, Kinoshita Toyoshiro put the small wooden box on the floor, gently opened the lid, and then pushed it in front of Hori Hidemasa, only to see that there were fifty gold judgments neatly placed inside, in his opinion, this is already a great gift.

However, Hori Hidemasa, who was sitting opposite him, was a little disdainful after seeing the money, and he was still scolding in his heart, this monkey is also picking on the door, right, just use the two hundred yuan money to fight himself and other three close attendants? Is your life so worthless?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the Gaoshan clan again, or Lord Gaoshan is generous enough, and he used to casually make a move to be dozens of hundreds of benefits, and this time he did a little favor, that is, he sent it with the silver card of the sparrow house, this is still treating outsiders, I really don't know how many rewards his retainers can get, and with such a lord, there is a future.

If the lord delegates himself in the future, if he can't be a direct minister, he must go to Takayama-sama to be a force, even if he still receives it at the Oda family, but just the rewards that Takayama usually finds are enough for his daily needs.

Because he had just finished receiving the silver card of the sparrow house given by the clan, when he saw the fifty pieces worth two hundred yuan of gold in front of him, he didn't have a trace of joy, but said lightly: "Let Kinoshita-sama break the bank, and after seeing Hasegawa Shuichi and Ho Naomasa in the next place, they will definitely suppress this matter for the time being." ”

After hearing this, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as he could stabilize a few of their close attendants first, then he would have time to remedy it, although the more he looked at these two hundred times, the more distressed he became, but who made himself too reckless before, he should use this money to buy a lesson.

After sending Hori Hidemasa out of the gate of the samurai mansion with a thousand thanks, Kinoshita Toyoshiro did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately called Kinoshita Koichiro and Asano Nagamasa to the hall of the samurai mansion to discuss the matter.

After the two of them came to sit down, they only heard Kinoshita Toyoshiro say eagerly: "Two, now the rumors spread in Owari have been completely exposed, and Hori Hidemasa came to remind me just now, but, fortunately, the lord has been busy with the New Year's recently, so I don't know what to do yet, let's think about it quickly, otherwise, it won't take a few days, and after the lord knows, my family may not be able to escape this difficulty." ”

Even Kinoshita Toyoshiro, who has always thought he is smart, has no way at the moment, although Asano Nagamasa was not present just now, but he has learned about it from Kinoshita Koichiro's mouth, he can't help but feel very headache, this time the rumors are spreading, because Kinoshita Koichiro is too upright, although the lord is to hand over this matter to the two of them to handle together, but Kinoshita Koichiro did not contribute much in this incident, so it can be said that the whole thing was basically completed by himself leading the banner. It is precisely because of this that no one knows the current situation better than him.

I saw Asai Nagamasa frowning, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Brother-in-law, now that the rumors in Owari have spread, even if we recall all the ashigaru under our command at this time and stop spreading, we can't block the mouths of others, and more than half of the rumors that are circulating now are false, which is indeed a bit difficult to do." ”

I only heard Kinoshita Tojiro say angrily: "Nonsense, if it was easy to solve, I would have done it a long time ago, and I still need to call you two to discuss, now I let you think of a way, and I didn't let you complain here, understand?" ”

"This ...... Please sister... The Lord is angry, please let me think about it. Kinoshita Toyoshiro was so furious that Asano Nagamasa didn't even dare to mention the word brother-in-law anymore, and quickly changed his name and said respectfully.

"Hurry up, there is not much time left for us now, if the rumors are not quelled as soon as possible, it will not be long before it reaches the ears of the lord, and by then, I am finished, and your good life will be over." After Kinoshita Tojiro said impatiently, he stood up and paced around the hall with his hands behind his back. He was now racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, but at this moment, his heart was already flustered, and what good idea could he come up with.

Just when Kinoshita Toyoshiro and Asano Nagamasa were at a loss, they only heard Kinoshita Koichiro say: "Big... The lord and his subordinates believe that if they want to quell the rumors, it will be difficult to do so in the short term, and the lord does not know that more than half of the rumors in Owari are not from the mouth of the main family......".

The more Kinoshita Tojiro listened, the more irritated he became, so before Kinoshita Koichiro finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "I know all this, I don't need you to say it, what I want now is a solution, don't mention this to me again." ”

Kinoshita Koichiro knew that the lord of the road was fair, so he no longer clarified the cause and effect, and directly said the method he thought in his heart, only to hear him continue: "It's the lord, the subordinates think that since the rumors can't be quelled in a short time, it's better to send his subordinate Ashigaru to spread a message in the towns to clarify the matter for Takayama-sama, and the subordinates heard that it was time for Takayama-sama to mention the matter to the main hall that day, only the lord and him, the main hall, and Hori Hidemasa, who had just left, were present, Others don't know the situation at the time, so as long as the lord sends someone to clarify the matter, the people of Owari can't tell the truth of these two pieces of news, so they should not be too lazy to continue to pay attention, it won't be long before the rumors will disperse. ”

As soon as Kinoshita Koichiro finished speaking, Asano Nagamasa immediately said: "My lord, everyone has preconceived ideas, once you decide something, and then you want to change it, it will be a little difficult, so, my subordinates think that it is easy to spread rumors, but it is difficult to clarify the rumors, even if it can, but the manpower and material resources required are at least three times that of the spread, and if you want to calm down this matter in the short term, the money required is much more, if the family spends too much on this matter, it will be detrimental to the future development." Please also think twice. ”。
