This is the litigation and trial handling agency of the Kamakura and Muromachi shogunates. The prefect of the inquiry office is called "deacon", and he was originally held by Yasunobu Sanzen, who was born in the aristocracy, and then was hereditary by the deacon Sanzen family, and his authority gradually expanded. The descendants of the Three Good Families even use the question note as the Miao character.

And the Kyushu Chikugo Kunicho Nagawajo's family is the descendant of the Sanzen family. Since the Tsukugo family took root in Chikugo Province, it has gone through several generations of suzerains such as Imagawa, Shaoji, Kikuchi, Ouchi, and Otomo, and all along, for the survival of the family, almost every time Chikugo Province changes an overlord, they will change a suzerain, until the tenth generation of the family governor of the Question House has begun, and the Question House has begun to follow in the footsteps of the Otomo family, and unswervingly serve the Otomo family as the suzerain. An important reason for this choice was that Hizo Castle, on the border between Chikugo and Bungo provinces, completely fell under the control of the Otomo family.

For a long time, the border between Chikugo Province and Bungo Province was unsafe. Even if the new overlord planned to build fortifications there, they would be destroyed by the forces of the nearby city of Hi. And since the Otomo family took control of Bungo Province and Chikugo Province, there was already a Higashi Castle nearby, so no fortifications were built again.

In fact, there have also been several times in history when the Otomo family has been forced to temporarily evacuate Chikugo Province, but as long as Hijo Castle is still in the hands of the Otomo family, then the Otomo family can return to Chikugo Province at any time, and even support Nagaiwa Castle not far from Hiyo Castle at any time. So every time they encounter such a situation, the Question House in Changyan Castle will firmly stand on the side of the Otomo family. Therefore, the city is the spiritual pillar of the family to support the Otomo family, which is the most obsession in their hearts.

Now, the pillar has suddenly collapsed. This made the reporter can't help but panic. Forcibly suppress your thoughts in the bottom of your heart. He pretended to be indifferent again and asked, "I wonder where this account book came from?" ”

Apparently. He still had hope in his heart, and he hoped that the account book was fake, so he asked this question. There are so many ways in his heart that he only wants to complete this mission as soon as possible, and then rush to join his brother Toji Kanren (Tachibana Michiyuki).

Masarashi had promised him that as long as he completed this mission, he would let him go safely to Toji Kenren, who was healing at Tadayama Kamuneji Chungkoji Temple in Matsuura County, Hizen Province. Those "top ten" tortures really left too much shadow on him, and he didn't want to stay by Zhengliang's side for a moment. Now I see that the question is asked. He immediately spoke:

"Here's the thing."

Then he honestly told the question note what he had experienced after being attacked by the Luo family that night. After he was taken prisoner in a coma, he then told the rumors that he had fallen to Yamaya Castle and Akaji Castle during his time when he woke up and came here. Of course, he followed Zhengliang's instructions and emphasized to the question note that these were all heard.

For such an old fritter as the one he personally photographed, the news that seemed to be true or false could arouse the uneasiness in his heart. If it's too real, he naturally doesn't believe it, and if it's too false, he can discern it. Now the words of the household inspection party happened to make the questioner believe it by eight points.

"You're saying that the gate of Shanxia City was broken by a weapon of the Luo family that can shoot monster-like projectiles?" After listening to the account of the household, the personal photo of the question note was silent for a while, as if digesting the news he had just gotten, and then suddenly asked. The retainers of the surrounding question office also immediately turned their eyes to the household inspection party. They were apparently also very concerned about this sudden appearance of weapons.

"It's an artifact, an artifact given to Masahiro by Hachiman Bodhisattva. With a thunderous sound, a solid city gate can be broken down in one fell swoop. Toji Kanfang said quite reverently. In fact, he was also completely conquered by the deliberate deified description of the Luo family's detective, so he also firmly believed in the power of this weapon. If it weren't for the fact that this artifact was closely guarded by the Luo family again after it appeared once in Shanxia City, he would still be eager to go to Shanjia City to take a good look.

After listening to the description of the Toji Jianfang, the photo of the inquirement office fell silent again, but the surrounding retainers had already begun to whisper, and most of them had panicked and frightened expressions on their faces. Now everyone knows that the Luo family is asking them to take a stand, if they continue to support the Otomo family this time, then this powerful weapon will open its terrifying mouth to them, and when the time comes, will their city gate be able to withstand its attack?

Seeing that the photo of the questioner fell into silence again, Toji Kanfang was stunned for a moment at first (he originally thought that the other party would continue to ask), and then instantly thought of Masaara's explanation to him last night, so he immediately pretended to say loudly:

"Boss, it's not a secret, Zheng Lianggong is already in the camp outside the city at this time, and he is followed by the terrifying Luo family cloaks under his command."

With the rise of the Luo family's fame, in addition to Masahiro gradually becoming known, the Luo family cloaks wearing white cloaks who followed Masato were also familiar to the people of Kyushu because of their brave achievements. Therefore, the cloaks of the Luo family are the representatives of the elite of the Luo family.

After hearing this, the questioner, who was still silent, immediately flashed a cold light in his eyes, but in the depths of the cold light, he was extremely worried and even afraid.

As soon as the words of the household inspection party came out, the meeting hall, which was still a little noisy, immediately became cold, and instantly quieted down, and then everyone involuntarily looked at the question note who was sitting on the main seat.

"Surrender or die, is this your choice for your family? Sure enough, it is worthy of the eagle of Hizen! Feeling the eyes of the people, he said bitterly to himself in his heart.

Masahiro's hand is indeed very beautiful. Obviously, he came to persuade him to surrender, but the word "surrender" was not mentioned at all in the middle, but the effect was much better than directly asking the family to surrender. In fact, at this time, the family had no choice.

Toji Kanfang was not a stupid person, and he instantly thought of the implications. In this regard, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart for Luo Zhengliang, a lord who was younger than him. Ever since he stood in front of this governor last night, things had been moving forward exactly according to the routine that the governor had designed in advance. Even all the reactions taken by the question note during the period seem to be expected by the other party, whether it is his thirties self or the old guy in his fifties, it seems that all people are played with by him. Thinking of this, Toji Jian Fang suddenly felt a cold sweat behind his back, even more terrifying than when he directly faced the "Ten Tortures". (If Masashi is here, he will inevitably scoff at the feeling of household inspection.) With his experience in the workplace in his previous life, these are simply pieces of cake. ）

Thinking of this, Toji Kanfang couldn't help but think about whether it would be a wise decision if the family continued to be an enemy of such an enemy. Do you beg Zhengliang to give him a chance to write home and persuade him?

Just when the thoughts of the household inspection party were uncertain, the personal photo of the question note above the main seat in the council hall was also caught in the battle between heaven and man.

From the current point of view, it is basically impossible to expect the Otomo family to help. Obviously, the family has to rely on themselves. Is it really good to just take refuge in the Roche family? For the Luo family, a name that has suddenly risen rapidly in recent years, the previous photos of the Q&A have also paid special attention to it.

As the governor of the family, the Eagle of Hizen, Luo Clan Masara, is indeed an advantageous lord, whether it is strategy or martial arts, he can be said to be the most advantageous lord he has ever seen, and even in private, the question note personally believes that Luo Clan Masaro is better than his suzerain, Otomo Yoshikan.

It's just that the rise of the Luo family is too short, and it takes less than ten years to establish such a hegemonic kingdom, which always gives people a feeling of unstable foundation, in contrast, the Otomo family has experienced more than ten generations of management in Kyushu, and it can be said that it is full of deep roots and leaves, which is also the reason why the inquisition has been reluctant to leave the Otomo family at this time. However, at this time, the family seems to have no choice, with the strength of the Luo family at this time, it is completely possible to completely wipe out the family after paying a certain price.

After thinking about it for a long time, he slowly raised his head, and seeing the panicked and expectant eyes of the retainers, he exhaled slowly, and then spoke:

"Someone, open the city gate for me and welcome Zhengliang Gong into the city!"
