58, hot potato

The construction site, which was still full of people just now, had become silent at the moment, and the yellow-faced man saw that more than a dozen of his subordinates were tied up, and at least 3 soldiers were watching by everyone's side.

"Chief! It's a trap, run away...... Yes! One of his men shouted to him, but before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked to the ground by the soldiers around him.

"You can't go!" Keiji Maeda had already climbed up from the pit and was approaching him with Kerr. "What, want to try? Not only will you not be able to run on your own, but you will also have a bad reputation for discarding your men! Keiji Maeda obviously understands the psychology of this kind of person very well.

"Hey~!" The yellow-faced man let out a long sigh and threw the dagger on the ground helplessly. "Please don't be embarrassed for my men! They have nothing to do with it. ”

"Good!" Keiji Maeda replied cheerfully. "After the interrogation, if they really don't know, we won't do anything to them!" With that, he snorted at a few soldiers. Then the yellow-faced man was tied up strongly.

Soon after, the yellow-faced man was brought to my house. Just in case, I only had two people by my side, Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka, and at the same time ordered Shima Katsuto, Keer Caizo, and Kusunoki Hayato to be optimistic about the captives and block the news. Because I really don't know what kind of "gift" this prisoner will bring me!

"Looks like you've put a lot of effort into it!" I kicked the two double buckets on the side. "Now can you tell me who you are and who you are?" I asked calmly. The two countries are fighting each other, each with its own master. So I don't hate the enemy in front of me who is causing me a lot of "trouble".

The yellow-faced man just stared at me intently and didn't answer a word.

"Didn't you hear my father-in-law's question?" Keiji Maeda asked viciously. Seriously! He is really suitable for this "white-faced" role.

"I'm just weird!" The yellow-faced man finally spoke. "Why don't you ask who sent me here and what I'm here for? Or do you think my identity is more important than that? ”

"Do you need to ask what you're here for? You didn't do it all! Keiji Maeda pouted indifferently.

I continued with his subject: "It is clear who sent you! It's not Mino's Saito or Oda Nobukiyo, will there be anyone else? ”

"Looks like I'm asking a stupid question!" The yellow-faced man smiled self-deprecatingly. "Before I answer your question, there is something I want to be sure. May I? His eyes were fixed on me.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it. "I want to hear before I decide.

"This samurai ......," he said, pointing at Keiji Maeda with his jaw. He promised me that he would not hold my subordinates accountable! Can you reassure you about that? ”

"Even though this is a big talker, but not very useful......" I said in the affirmative.

"It's so shameless!" Keiji Maeda muttered. It seems that he is not very happy with my facts.

"But what he said, I want to assure you again! But......" I changed my tone. "As you may recall, what he promised was that your men knew it! That is to say, you have to prove that they were only commanded by you, and not sent by anyone else to do these things. You're just a hired neutral organization, not an enemy of the Oda family! If that's the case...... Even if I let them go, it won't be any harm to the Oda family! "I didn't lie to him, because I hadn't learned to kill indiscriminately. (That is, I haven't learned how to survive in this era!) )

"Really?" The yellow-faced man didn't quite believe me yet.

"Do you know who I am?" I asked him with a smile.

"Judging by your clothes and the abilities of your men...... "He couldn't stop looking at me and Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka with his eyes." You should be a samurai of no lower rank, and you are a general of the Oda family? ”

"You're wrong, and you couldn't be more wrong!" I heard Keiji Maeda's low laughter, and I really should have taught him how to respect his lord. "I'm just an ashigaru shogun in the Oda family!"

"What!" There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the yellow-faced man.

"I'm very embarrassed...... I said helplessly, "I'm not in charge of the whole project, I'm just the person in charge of this site!" ”

"Then you promised me ......" He wavered a little from trusting me.

"Do you know why I'm interrogating you?" I said without changing my face. "Actually, I'll just hand you over and you'll be fine, and it's a big deal! The reason why I didn't do that was to see if there was any room for reversal. I don't want to implicate too many people, do you understand? ”

"Good! I believe you. After staring at me for a moment, the yellow-faced man said slowly: "I've never seen a person like you, I'll bet on this!" I'm the number two person in the Mino Kuniko Suka Party, named Maeno Nagayasu......"

**************************************************

"Ah~!" I collapsed on the bed, and the dizziness that had been going on for a few days returned, and it became more and more violent. After the interrogation of Maeno Nagayasu, I let Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka leave together. I need to be alone so much!

"Beesuka Party! Wasuka Party!! Beesuka Party!! This time it's really a hornet's nest! "I'm not afraid to offend a hostile samurai. It's a life-or-death battle on the battlefield, and there are no personal grudges involved, and there is no need to worry about revenge afterwards. But the Bee Suka Party is different, they are the triad of the Japanese Middle Ages! Mafia! They don't bind themselves to the shackles of bushido, they will do whatever it takes! "A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood." is the code of conduct for them.

"Hand over Maeno Nagayasu? But ...... "I don't deny my timidity, just thinking about being hunted down by the underworld is terrifying." Sun Ce, the little overlord who crisscrossed the Jiangdong, died at the hands of Xiaoxiao, how old am I? The Beesuka Party is a big gang of 2,000 people, and it trampled a few of us to death! Besides, they are all people who hide in the shadows and live at the bottom of society with the most thorough revolution, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, they may not be able to do anything to them! After Oda Nobunaga dominated, the Saga people who fought against the Iga people and Kii were defeated three times in a row, and I ...... Not to mention!

"Secretly let people go?" The thought of Oda Nobunaga's hawk-like eyes made me feel a chill in my spine. In fact, there were so many people present at that time that it was simply impossible to keep it secret for a long time. I'm sure I'll be executed later, I just don't know if I'm going to be beheaded or Ling Chi now. If it were just me, I could have walked away! But what about Xianzhi? Do you want her to follow me all over the world to the end of the world? What about these retainers of mine? They all entrusted me with their hopes and ideals!

"Maybe it's not that bad!" I tried to comfort myself. "If it's Shibata Katsuya who is here now, I report to him that he will say, 'Cut off their heads!'; If it were Oda Nobunaga here, he would have roared after listening to my report, saying, 'All of them will be late, and the corpses will be exposed for ten days!' ’; Can...... Now it's Niwa Nagahide here, and he's afraid he'll say......"
