Chapter 700: Nabeshima's former minister

After bidding farewell to the young couple who were grateful to Dade, Zhengliang and the others came to the place where the village usually gathers to discuss matters at the invitation of the village head.

"Meet the Lord!" More than 20 scouts had been waiting here for a long time and saluted Zhengliang at the same time.

"Huh?" Masato was stunned for a moment, although Masaliang asked his subordinates to reveal the identities of their group to the head of this village, but it was just to inform these people that they were officials from the Internal Affairs Cabinet, and they did not reveal their true identities at all, but these scouts now clearly know their true identities.

The retainers' guards around Masahiro also became alert when they heard this, and they obviously realized the problem.

"This? My lord...... The lord ...... "At this time, the head of the village who has been with Masato also feels inappropriate, he really didn't know the true identity of Masahiro before, and now he suddenly heard these scouts call Masaliang like this, and suddenly he really doubted Masaliang's identity."

Masarashi stretched out his hand to stop the village's words, and instead stared at the boy scouts and asked, "How did you find out who I am?" ”

"My lord, please see." The child, who was in charge of guarding outside the village at the beginning, took out a picture scroll directly from behind. This kind of picture scroll was sent to the boy scouts in various villages by the cabinet of the Interior Cabinet, and it was Masayo himself who was depicted in it, so that these boy scouts could see this picture scroll when they studied and trained every day, and then knew who their lord was and who they were fighting for.

Masahiro took the picture scroll in the child's hand and opened it directly to look at it. When I looked at it, I was a little dumbfounded. The Masahiro in the scroll is really similar to his appearance after his disguise at this time, no wonder these scouts recognize him so quickly. It's too much of a coincidence. And it's too much like the appearance of Masayo himself, who is not easy to face. It seems that the painter in charge of painting is not very good. And the Black Hawk who is responsible for giving good looks to him. Nima's, I really wonder if the Black Eagle who helped him change his appearance is the painter. Thinking of this, Masashi directly took the scroll and handed it to Togo Heiji on the side.

The latter didn't know why Lu Dao Zhengliang handed him the scroll so quickly, and after taking it, he opened it as well. At a glance, he immediately knew why Lu Dao Zhengliang specially handed him the things. He immediately blamed the Internal Affairs Pavilion for what he had done, and the painter he invited was too similar, and he would definitely be held accountable when he went back.

"My lord. Please take a look at the drills we are waiting for. The child, who had been in charge of guarding the village, spoke again at this time.

"Oh? Good! Looking at the scouts with their heads held high, Masahiro also shouted happily.

From the eyes of these scouts, Masato saw their admiration for themselves and their pursuit of status. In the Luo family, being a soldier is the easiest way to improve your status and get rich. Even if you are unfortunately injured or killed in battle, your family will receive a lot of money and your status will be improved (you will have to pay much less taxes), so being a soldier is the most popular profession in the Luo family's territory. And to be a soldier in the Luo family, as long as you prepare people, you can prepare the equipment and food (other wealthy families want the soldiers to prepare their own preparations), such a well-treated profession. Naturally, they flocked to it.

But since he can enjoy such good treatment, he naturally has to be severely restricted. Therefore, there are hundreds of military regulations for the Luo family's military situation, from daily life to battle, there are detailed regulations, and the punishment is quite serious, such as lifting the veil of a woman on the street to see what this woman looks like, such actions will be punished, although it will not be cut off from the head, but it will also be reduced to a slave and do hard labor in the slave camp. And the treatment of the family has also been affected by this, at least since then they have lost the treatment that their family members enjoyed when they were in the army (those who enjoyed it before can be retained).

After receiving Masa-ra's permission, the Boy Scouts immediately began to line up in Masa-liang spontaneously, and then practiced the queue movements such as left-to-right, marching in unison, and stepping step-by-step. These are discipline-oriented movements designed to train these children in their military fundamentals and prepare them for growing up to be a regular member of the Roche family. At the same time, through such a subtle training method, their temperament is changed, so that they consciously see themselves as a part of the Luo family and become the basis of the Luo family's rule.

"Lord!" After Masa-ra finished inspecting the boy scouts, the village head behind him immediately hurriedly came over to salute. From the conversation between Fang Cai Zhengliang and these boy scouts, the head of the village had confirmed that the person in front of him was the famous Luo Zhengliang of his family, so he hurried over to make amends.

"Well, this time I'm waiting for a private interview with Weifu, don't make a noise." After receiving the salute from the head of the village, Masahiro immediately reminded.

"Yes. His Majesty made sure that the fact that the lord had been here today would not be publicized. The village head wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded quickly. There is no way, as Zhengliang has been in a high position for a long time, the power that naturally exudes from his body will make ordinary people feel uncomfortable.

"I heard that the lord here robbed the daughter of this village, can there be such a thing?" After calming the village head a little, Masara asked again. That's the main purpose of his time here. Although he had already received a report from his retainers, he still thought it would be better to confirm it himself.

"Yes, my lord." The head of the village immediately said. Originally, he thought that these big people who were suddenly introduced by the town head were the officials of the internal affairs cabinet who came to deal with the local lord's attempt to rob the people's daughters, but he didn't expect that it was the biggest boss in the Luo family's territory. It really flattered him a bit.

"I'll go through it all in detail." Masato then ordered.

"Yes." Then the head of the village told the whole thing in detail.

"Well, immediately after I go back, send someone to investigate this matter, especially to investigate the local internal affairs cabinet officials who are responsible for handling this matter, if there are corrupt people who bend the law, deprive them of all official positions, demote them to slaves, and parade around the territory as a typical case, and at the end of the year, they will enter the slave camp, and they will not be allowed to leave the camp for ten years." When he learned that the head of the village was worried that the local lord would bring people to rob again, he had already reported the matter to the local internal affairs cabinet, but until today, the internal affairs cabinet has not sent anyone to deal with it, so he had no choice but to send someone to the largest town in the vicinity to invite the town head there to come and discuss the solution, but he did not expect that the people sent to finally invite Masarashi and others After the situation was finally invited, Masarashi immediately ordered Togo Heiji, who had been silent on the side.

Zhengliang is annoyed, once the internal affairs cabinet delays the disposal of this matter, and the unlucky wealthy family who was unfortunately met by Zhengliang succeeds again, then it will not only cause a very bad impact on the local area and then cause a civil uprising, but also make the people question the prestige of the territorial law. Such an outcome is unacceptable to Zhengliang. Moreover, with the continuous development of the territory, some corrupt things have gradually been exposed, and it seems that the supervision of these territorial officials will be strengthened.

And everyone around could see that Masato was very annoyed. Togo Heiji on the side was also annoyed, because the internal affairs cabinet that had an accident happened in Hizen Province, which was directly under his jurisdiction. This made Togo Heiji feel very shameless, and pondered that he would severely punish the local cabinet officials no matter what if he returned.

"You didn't come back from the Luo family's army?" After giving the order, Masarashi asked the village head again.

There are two reasons for Zhengliang's judgment, one is that if the head of the village responsible for handling this matter is a retired soldier from the Luo family's military power, they will definitely directly arrest the wealthy family who tried to rob the people's daughter, and then send it directly to the Internal Affairs Pavilion, and ask the Internal Affairs Pavilion to severely punish the wealthy family; The second is that the head of the village is very organized, and he is very familiar with the method of negotiating with the Hao clan, and it is obviously not from the head of the village from the military (due to the limited number of retired soldiers in the military, and not all retired soldiers are suitable to be the head of the village, so the village heads of many villages in the territory are elected by the local leaders themselves).

"My lord, my lord, my lord's family originally settled in Nabetomi Village, near Nabeshima Town, Saga County." The head of the village was stunned at first when he heard this, and then immediately reported it truthfully.

"Narumi Village near Nabeshima-cho, Saga County? That's what you were transferred here? Do you know Chengfu Mao'an in that village? Zhengliang was immediately stunned, and then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Huh?" When the village head heard this, he suddenly exclaimed. (To be continued......)
