Xiu Rai paused, and in Shigesei's surprised eyes, he reached out and picked up the pile of documents written on high-grade washi paper, unfolded them one by one, and looked through them carefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I first started reading, Xiu Lai's mood was still very calm. But the more he looked down, the more the shock and abruptness in his heart became more and more obvious in his body language.

Because the movement of his hand turning the paper became faster and faster, and it was obvious that his hand was constantly shaking slightly. This scene was seen by Chongcheng and Xiuzong.

It took a long time for Hideyori to read these papers. For a long time, Xiuguang maintained the respectful posture of bending down and nodding his forehead at the beginning, and he never changed.

During this long time, the lights in the study flickered unnaturally from time to time, as if in response to the increasingly unsettled mood of the master, Hideyori.

"Xiuguang,"

After at least two quarters of an hour, Hideyori finally spoke,

"You ......"

He carefully put down the seemingly ordinary but particularly important documents in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Xiuguang with some words and words, his eyes full of shock and doubt.

"These instruments ...... You personally negotiated everything in it? ”

"Brother Hui. It's Xiuguang. ”

Hidemitsu replied in a kneeling position, and then straightened up with Hideyori's consent, facing the papers, the table, and his brother.

“…… Hidemitsu, where have you been in Kyushu? ”

The shock in Hideyori's eyes, who received an affirmative answer from his younger brother, still hasn't dissipated. He nodded silently, then glanced at all the paperwork and continued to ask.

"Brother Hui. Hidemitsu traveled to Chikuzen Province in Kyushu, Hakata Port, and Hirado Port in Nagasaki. In the end, I went to Osumi Province, but it wasn't the main thing, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

Hidemitsu unreservedly informed Hideyori of all the itinerary of his trip to Kyushu.

"Chikuzen Province?"

Hideyori immediately took out one of the letters in the paperwork and read it carefully again. In particular, he looked very carefully at the position of the signature and the monogram.

"This ...... Could it really be that Kuroda-sama's monogram? ”

Xiulai pointed to the monogram at the end of the letter, as if he was a little unconvinced.

Rao is Xiulai, and he can't suppress his surprise and surprise now.

"Brother Hui, this is indeed a letter from the former head of the Kuroda family, Lord Kuroda Rusui, and a monogram."

Xiuguang replied truthfully.

This letter, which is now in Xiulai's hand, is one of several letters written by Xiuguang at that time. This letter was used to establish trade relations with Kamiya and Shimaiya.

"Lord Rushui actually wrote me a few letters. However, because Lord Rushui had ordered it beforehand, the rest of the letters could only be used at certain times. ”

As he spoke, Hidemitsu took out the remaining letters from his clothes, pointed to one of them, and handed it to Hideyori's desk.

"This letter is especially important. So now, please keep it safe. ”

Hearing Xiuguang's words, Xiulai took the letters very cautiously, looked at them briefly, and then put them on the table.

"I see. That's how the paperwork signed with this Kamiya and Shimaiya came about. ”

Hideyori thought about it, and then dug out the trade documents signed with Kamiya and Shimaiya, and determined that it should have been signed because of Rusui's letter.

While Xiu Lai was looking at the paperwork, Xiuguang continued:

"Also, with the help of Akashi Shobu Shobu Zento, who was hiding in Kyushu, we were able to secure the support of Nagasaki Daikan Murayama and Goyasu, who was also a Catholic, and all the sources of military and trade information that he could obtain."

“…… Akashi-sama?! ”

Hideyori struggled to turn his mind, trying to recall the name that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Brother, sir. Akashi is a retainer of the Ukita Hide-sama. After the Battle of Sekigahara, he took refuge at the Kuroda family in Kyushu. ”

Xiuguang reminded at the right time at this time.

"It's him. I remember. ”

As soon as the name of the Xiu family was mentioned, Xiu Lai immediately remembered some memories of the past.

After all, the Hideya family was the most trusted adopted son of Taiko Hideyoshi at that time, so Hideyori was often able to see him when he was a child.

"Also, this is a smuggling contract secretly signed with Li Dan, a maritime merchant of the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, our Toyotomi family will be able to reap countless benefits from trade. ”

Xiuguang lined up these business documents side by side in front of Xiulai's eyes.

The first was a trade agreement with Kamiya and Shimaiya, followed by a document with Murayama and other countries, and finally a smuggling contract with the maritime merchant Li Dan.

These four documents are all the gains of Xiuguang in Kyushu in terms of economy. This is also quite a bonus.

Coupled with the previous letters, all the gains of Xiuguang's trip are probably like this.

It's incredible.

It's not ordinary.

It's simply ...... It's incredible.

That's how Hideyori was in the mood at this time.

He glanced at the papers, his forehead lifted involuntarily.

First of all, I suddenly found that my brother had disappeared and was not in the city for a long time.

The younger brother, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly returned and reappeared in front of his eyes.

Then the younger brother suddenly came to his study late at night and told himself that he had gone there...... Kyushu......

Now this younger brother suddenly ...... Took out such a whole bunch of ...... The paperwork that made him feel completely incredible, and said words that surprised him.

What's going on here?

Moreover, it can't be an easy thing to get such a thing, right?

Looking at the neatly arranged documents placed on his desk, Xiulai suddenly felt that his younger brother Xiuguang, who was sitting in front of him at this time, was a little unfamiliar.

Strangeness is inevitable.

After all, the current Xiuguang did not come to see his brother Xiulai as a brother, but as a retainer to report to Xiuyori, who was the monarch.

This is a dialogue between kings and ministers, not a brotherly conversation. Not an easy thing to do, at least in nature.

Hidemitsu himself thinks so.

Tonight, he came as a retainer to report to the Governor Hideyori about his actions during the Hideya Incident, the Edo Riots, and the trip to Kyushu.

"Xiuguang, what did you do?"

Xiulai finally stopped looking through the paperwork, raised his head, and asked very seriously.

"That's exactly what I want to report to my brother tonight. Presumably, the elder brother still has countless questions. Xiuguang will tell your brother all these things later. ”

Xiuguang put away the paperwork on the table and set it aside.

"So, first of all, let's explain why I want to go to Kyushu and why I was able to go to Kyushu."
