Chapter 573: Otomo Intervenes
When he saw clearly that it was the maid who was in charge of serving Sagara Yoshizi who came to report, Uemura Yoriko's heart "chuckled" again, and he hurriedly asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Big ...... Adult, the ...... of the country The lord of the kingdom ...... he said, "The maid looked very frightened.
"Go on." Uemura Yoriko's majestic voice came again.
"Not long ago, Lord Fukasui Seken came to visit the Lord, and not long after Lord Fukasui Seken left, the sound of the Lord of the Kingdom's room came from the Lord's room, and when I heard the sound and rushed into the room, the Lord of the Kingdom was already dead of rage." The maid saw that Uemura Yoixing was likely to be mad again, so she hurriedly reported it.
"Damn Fukasui Seken! Damn Sagara Yoshizu! Hearing this, Uemura Raising immediately gritted his teeth and said.
With the death of Sagara Yoshizuki, Uemura Yoriko lost the righteousness of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", even if Sagara Haruhiro took the throne in a hurry at this time, in the case of foreign enemies, the retainers may not be willing to recognize Sagara Haruhiro's legal inheritance status, and there will even be retainers who take the opportunity to plot chaos.
"Damn Sagara Yoshizi, even if he dies, will he count my father and son?" Uemura Yorixing complained in his heart.
"How many people still know about the affairs of the Lord of the Kingdom?" After complaining, Uemura Yorixing immediately thought of how to keep Sagara Yoshiji's death a secret for the time being.
"In addition to me and a few other subordinates who are in charge of taking care of the Lord of the Kingdom, there are also doctors who have just confirmed that the Lord of the Kingdom has died." The maid reported.
"These people are still in the mansion?" Uemura Yorixing continued to ask.
When the maid heard this, she was shocked, could it be that the lord was going to kill them to cover up the death of the lord of the country? After all, this maid has been in Eagle Peak City for several years, and she has seen these methods of the lord several times. So she thought of this possibility in an instant. Come to think of it. The maid couldn't help but jump in horror. Even the words began to tremble again, "Big ...... My lord, the doctor ran out of the country after confirming that the lord of the country was dead. It seems that he is still running and shouting that the lord of the country is dead......"
"Huh?" Yoriko Uemura almost didn't get. It is estimated that the doctor has long understood what Uemura Yoriko is doing, and the death of the lord of the country, Sagara Yoshiji, at this time is definitely not a good thing for him, a doctor, so he took this method very cleverly to protect himself.
Uemura Yorixing was almost mad, and he didn't even have time to think about why Fukamizu Seken could directly avoid his blockade and meet Sagara Yoshito.
"Your Excellency. Brother Dongfang asked to see him. Just then, the samurai outside the door came in to report.
"At this time, there are still retainers who are willing to stay in this city? Sure enough, it's a loyal minister, pass! Uemura Yoiko was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said. Poor Sagara Haruhiro, although he is the heir to the Sagara family, was completely temporarily deprived of his rights by his father.
"Meet the young master!" Soon Brother Dongfang came to Sagara Haruhiro and the others, and when he saw the maids and gatekeepers kneeling on the ground in the council hall, Brother Dongfang couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes, and then quickly covered up the past, and then he hurriedly saluted Sagara Haruhiro.
"What does the Dongfang Lord who doesn't know what to do?" After the two sides saluted. Harukihiro Sagara immediately asked.
"Young Lord, Your Majesty heard in the city that the Lord of the Kingdom has just died of illness. That's why I came in a hurry. Brother Dongfang immediately expressed his intentions.
"Where did you get the news from Lord Dongfang?" Uemura Yoshixing on the side asked rhetorically.
"Oh? Lord Lai Xing, is this a rumor, at this time, the city has already spread the news of the death of the lord of the country. The original propagator of the death was the physician in charge of the Lord's illness. Brother Dongfang asked rhetorically.
At this time, even if Uemura Laixing was stupid, he found that something was wrong with Brother Dongfang. So he stared at Brother Dongfang and said, "There is no such thing!" The lord of the kingdom is just getting sicker. ”
"I see. It seems that the subordinates misheard the rumors. Brother Dongfang immediately saluted Sagara Haruhiro, "It's just that, Lord Shao, if Lord of the Kingdom can show up, then this is the best, this can make the subordinates and others feel at ease to face those thugs of the Sect, otherwise if the rumors of the death of the Lord of the Kingdom continue to spread in the city, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the morale of the army!" By the way, before the subordinates rushed to meet the young master, it seemed that they happened to see several samurai from other wealthy clans escorting the doctor of the lord of the country out of the city gate, could it be that the young master had other arrangements for the doctor? ”
"What?" Harukhiro Sagara lost his voice. Now even he knows the importance of covering up the news of Sagara Yoshito's death, although it has now spread in the city, but as long as the city is closed and people are not allowed to enter and exit casually, the news can still be controlled in the city, but now that the doctor has been taken out of the city, it will be troublesome. It seems that the news of Sagara Yoshiji's death cannot be concealed. Moreover, it can be seen from this incident that there are other retainers at the city gate, otherwise they must not leave the city gate at this time.
"Young master, please rest assured, the doctor's matter was deliberately arranged by his subordinates." At this time, Uemura Laixing on the side said suddenly. When he spoke, he also secretly gave Sagara Haruhi a look. Obviously, a gaffe from Sagara Haruhiro suddenly leaked too much information.
The latter immediately realized after seeing Uemura Yoixing's eyes, and hurriedly said: "I see! ”
"Since everything is arranged by the young master, then the subordinates don't have to worry, and the subordinates will retire." Brother Dongfang immediately pretended to be relieved, and immediately asked to retreat.
"Lord Lao Dongfang is worried!" Harukhiro Sagara immediately approved.
So, Brother Dongfang, who came in a hurry, hurried away again. Looking at the figure of Brother Dongfang gradually moving away, Uemura Raising clenched his fists. The Dongfang family is a wealthy family that is not weak in the Sagara family, and it is really not appropriate to do anything to this family at this time, otherwise it will definitely push this wealthy family into the arms of the Tsuyoshi Sect, Uemura Yoriko decided to settle accounts with the Dongfang brother slowly after completely dealing with the affairs of the Tsuyo Clan.
And what Uemura Yoixing didn't know was that after Brother Dongfang completely walked out of the hall, Brother Dongfang showed a meaningful smile on his face. At this moment, Brother Dongfang had already made up his mind, and he would leave Eagle Peak City immediately, and then return home to wait and see what happened.
At a time when the Sagara family was still deceiving me because of the invasion of Ichimune, the situation in Shimoyijo-gun, Higo Province, has undergone a new change.
It turned out that Otomo Yoshikan had relieved the pressure of his family's internal affairs with the newly discovered gold mine, and after finally stabilizing the instability in his family, he was now free to deal with the affairs of Higo Province.
Yoshikan Otomo is not a fool. He knew that if he allowed the wealthy families of Higo to fight for Miyahara's discovery of the silver mine, it would only greatly reduce the strength of these wealthy clans, which would not only be detrimental to the management of the Otomo family in Higo Province, but also give the Luo family, who had firmly occupied the northern part of Higo Province, an opportunity.
As a result, the Otomo family officially intervened in the dispute between the wealthy families of Yicheng County under Higo Province. (To be continued......)
