259 Devil's Path
The 26th generation governor of the Chiba family in Shimokoku, Chiba Qinyin, is a 15-year-old boy.
Compared with the early wisdom of Genrokuro Ota, Hatsune Sanada and others, Chiba Qinyin seems extremely mediocre.
Last year, under the strong advocacy of the old original Yinqing of the family's pen head, Chiba pro-Yinyuan served, and then, Yuan Yinqing also passed the original family's family governor to his son-in-law Yuan Yinzhen on the grounds of old age.
Today, as soon as Yuan Yinqing and Yinzhen father and son arrived at Moriyama Castle Honmaru, they were put on the neck with a knife, which made Yuan Yinqing angry, and he stood at the door directly and scolded:
"Who are you? Dare to break into the lord's city, and draw a knife at the old man, is it tired of being alive! ”
As he had been in power for a long time, he seemed extremely powerful, but unexpectedly, under his angry shouts, several samurai surrounding their father and son did not react, and even their posture with their swords did not change in the slightest.
The hand holding the knife was still steady, and with a single force, it could cut into his wrinkled neck, ending the life he had lived for sixty-nine years.
Crossing this empty hall, Yuan Yinqing could see that his lord Chiba Qinyin was talking to several people, one of them was Hai Kurou he was already familiar with, and the other was dressed as a princess, the one closest to Chiba Qinyin was a tall samurai.
I've long heard that Zuo Zuo Chengzheng is a fierce general on the battlefield, is it him?
Yuan Yinzhen, the son behind him and the governor of the original family, opened his mouth and yawned, his head hanging slightly, listless.
Yuan Yinqing was angry at his son's performance, but at this time he had no time to teach him any more, and he shouted to Chiba Qinyin on the other end:
"My lord! Don't be fooled by villains. ”
Hearing the old man's shout, Sazuo Chengzheng noticed that the young man seemed to shiver...... Qin Yin quickly glanced at Yuan Yinqing's father and son who were pressed on the knife edge by the Rose Knight, and a pair of bloodless thin lips moved, and said some incoherent words:
"Hara-sama...... Don't be too embarrassed...... Still is...... It's not good. ”
"My lord, no! Only by getting rid of the original father and son can we preserve the family name of our Chiba family! ”
Before Sasa Chengzheng could respond, Hai Jiulang, who was sitting behind Qinyin, was impatient to grab a sentence. Hai Jiurou is Chiba's uncle in terms of seniority, so it's not too much to talk about it. But he obviously didn't expect that Chiba was intimidated by Yuan Yinqing's prestige, and would beg for mercy for Yuan's father and son.
"Father and son...... After all, it is an old minister in our family......"
Although Chiba Qinyin is fragmented, the meaning cannot be more obvious.
"Haihai Jiulang, if you collude with foreign enemies, bewitch the lord, and frame Zhongliang, aren't you afraid of being punished by God!"
Yuan Yinqing had a halberd and began to angrily reprimand his uncle Hai Jiulang.
The so-called 'loyalty' is of course himself, and the "foreign enemy" is, of course, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, but Yuan Yinqing is not so bold, and the knife is still on his neck.
"Die, Umi Jiulang, I know that you have always coveted the status of the lord, so you will do whatever it takes to get rid of me. But your conspiracy will not succeed, my original clan swears to follow the lord to the death, even if my father and son die here today, they will never condone you to collude with outsiders, and will never tolerate adultery! ”
The more Yuan Yinqing scolded, the more impassioned he became, if it weren't for Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, he would have known that he was a first-class traitor, and he almost believed him.
Cheng Zheng nodded at Hai Jiulang, and Jiulang stood up, took the knife from the attendant's hand, and slowly paced in front of the Yuan father and son.
"Yuan Yinqing, Yuan Yinzhen, you are guilty!"
Yuan Yinzhen's eyes that had been slightly closed suddenly opened, and he stared at Haihai Jiurou deadly, there was no hatred and coercion in his eyes, but there was a pleading color, which made Haihai Jiurou somewhat puzzled.
Yuan Yinqing was hard-mouthed to the end:
"Shameless thief! How can you frame me! ”
Haihai Jiulang sneered, took out a stack of letters from his arms and threw them on Yuan Yinqing's body:
"Framed? You're underestimating the Eizo Suke, aren't you? Your father and son have colluded with the Hojo family for many years, wouldn't they have burned all the letters they exchanged in and out? It's stupid! ”
Haihai Jiulang's words made Yuan Yinqing's heart sink to the bottom.
Hai Jiurou was right, their father and son had indeed been in contact with the Hojo family for many years, and he didn't need to read the stack of letters that Hai Jiurou had just smashed on him.
That's all evidence of their father-son relationship with Hojo Clanyasu.
Umi Kurou really wasn't framing them.
Just last night, Usui Johonmaru was stolen...... A few thieves came, and although the thieves were quickly driven away, many of the letters exchanged between the original family and the Hojo family were stolen...... It turned out that it was stolen to Moriyama Castle. But Hara Yinqing thought that the defense of Usui Castle was quite tight, at least the ninjas of Moriyama Castle and Umi Kuro could not break through......
Who did what happened last night?
Could it be Sasa Narumasa?
"The evidence is conclusive! Your father and son deserve death! ”
Hai Kuro announced the verdict of Yuan Yinqing and Yuan Yinzhen's father and son.
Yuan Yinqing scolded non-stop, but was soon pulled down by the samurai and beheaded, a bloody head was placed in the tray, and the red blood and white hair were particularly eye-catching.
Haihai Jiulang looked at Yuan Yinzhen and found that Yinzhen was raising her head and chest at this time, and her expression was as calm as water.
The begging in Yinzhen's eyes disappeared without a trace at the moment when his father Yuan Yinqing was beheaded.
"Do you have a last word?"
"My son, Yuan Yinrong, is still in Usui City."
Yuan Yinzhen opened her mouth calmly.
"You can rest assured...... As long as he doesn't seppuku in the city, we won't kill him. ”
Yuan Yinzhen nodded, of course he knew that his son had a few catties and taels, although Yuan Yinrong had also been subdued, but he was by no means a strong warrior...... He's going to run away.
"Hmm."
Yuan Yinzhen walked calmly to the bottom of the stairs and waited to be killed.
In a few moments, his head was also placed in a tray and presented in front of Chiba Kinyin.
Haihai Jiulang looked at Yinzhen's calm face again, and then he suddenly realized why he had a begging look just now.
Yinzhen's father Yinqing is 69 years old, and the original Yinqing is half cut into the ground, and he doesn't know when he will die, the look in the original Yinzhen's eyes ...... It turned out to be begging himself to spare his father.
"Yuan Yinqing...... You've been greedy for power all your life, but you don't know that you've given birth to a good son......"
Hai Jiurou sighed, turned around, and found that Sasa Narimasa had already stood up and opened a letter in front of everyone:
"On the orders of the Kanto Governor...... The governor of the Chiba family lived in seclusion, and the sea Jiuro returned to his family and inherited the twenty-seventh generation of the Chiba family! ”
The words were amazing, and both Hai Jiulang and Chiba Qinyin were speechless in surprise.
The order of the Kanto governor Uesugi Kenmasa?
It's not scientific!
