Chapter Ninety-Five: The Hypocrite
In the field, Ryuichiro Oda, who was in the top position, and Kotaro Koizumi, who was standing below, looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud at the same time. The laughter of the two grew from small to large, covering the entire hall.
Hearing their laughter, the faces of everyone in the hall turned pale.
Only now did they finally understand why the heavily guarded Oda Mansion was being controlled silently today. It turned out that it was not only Ryuichiro Oda, who was the eldest son, who plotted the rebellion, but also the Koizumi family, who had been in charge of the Ashigaru team in the prefecture for generations.
Ryuichiro Oda and Kotaro Koizumi turned out to be accomplices.
Masaya Oda's face was full of disbelief, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Kotaro below and asked, "Isn't our Oda family good enough for you?
Hearing Masaya Oda's question, Kotaro suddenly suppressed his laughter. He straightened his back and looked at Masaya Oda with sharp eyes. He said slowly, "Lord Yaya, this question should be asked to you. ”
"What! Tell us, what do you mean?" Oda Masaya looked puzzled.
Hum!
Seeing that Oda Masaya still looked unaware, Kotaro's eyes narrowed, and his face immediately became gloomy. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Isn't it clear to Lady Yaya?"
After a while, he turned around and asked in a loud voice to the magnates in the hall, "You don't know, do you?"
In the hall, among the powerful people lying on the ground, some people's eyes were full of fear, and some people's eyes were full of malice. But when they heard Kotaro's words, their eyes turned into doubts.
Except for Keiji Oda, who was silent, he was the head of the Izumi family, Oda Masato, with the highest status. At this time, he reluctantly stood up on the ground, looked at the two people standing, and said: "It has reached this point, if you have something to say, just say it! If what you say is reasonable, I will accept it with an open mind." If it doesn't make sense, it's hard to be convinced to die. ”
Kotaro changed his previous submissive appearance, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression: "You never feel that you have made any mistakes, and naturally it is impossible to review your mistakes. ”
"There was a plague in Shima this year, and the people were displaced, and even their children were eaten. But you people, as aristocrats, indulge in pleasure all day long. By your deeds, you are not worthy to rule a city. ”
Hearing Kotaro's words, the doubts on the faces of everyone in the hall became even heavier. Yasuo Oshima, who has a good personal relationship with Koizumi Kotaro, asked, "Kotaro! You mean that everything you are doing now is for the sake of the people." ”
Seeing that it was Yasuo Oshima who spoke, Kotaro's tone softened a little: "Yasuo, you should be able to understand my thoughts." We have committed such a great sin, not for myself, but for the sake of the people of Shima. ”
Yasuo Oshima gasped and said with difficulty, "Of course I understand! But ·····"
"Enough!"
Chizuru on the side spoke up.
She propped up the table with one hand and looked at Kotaro with a stern gaze.
Kotaro saw Chizuru's gaze and panicked in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Chizuru, please listen to my explanation! Lord Ryuichiro cares about the people, and only by making Lord Ryuichiro the head of the family will the people have a good life." Chizuru, aren't you also against Keiji-sama's blockade order, as long as we succeed in bringing Ryuichiro-sama to power. The lockdown can be lifted, and the people can continue to farm ······. ”
"Shut up!"
Chizuru didn't want to listen to Kotaro's explanation, so she interrupted directly: "You have pretended to be submissive since you were a child, so that everyone will not be defensive against you. All of this should have been planned by you a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with the people of Shima. Don't you blush when you use the people as an excuse?"
The mask of hypocrisy was revealed, and Kotaro's face instantly became gloomy.
She looked up at the entrance of the hall, "The plan must have come from you, Uncle Ichigo." ”
Everyone's eyes looked at the gate at the same time, only to see the location of the gate, and at some point a thin figure appeared. He was dressed in a black martial arts uniform, with three knives of different lengths around his waist, and two mustaches under his mouth. It seems that he has an eight-point resemblance to Kotaro.
This person is the defense commander of the Oda family, who is deeply trusted by Oda Keiji, and Kotaro's father "Koizumi Ichigo".
When he entered the hall, he didn't pay any attention to Chizuru's question, but strode straight to his seat. His pace was steady, as if every step had been measured with a ruler.
It's just that when I was passing by Kotaro, my right hand suddenly went up. With a snap, he gave Kotaro a slap. Kotaro didn't dare to resist when he was slapped for no reason, so he could only bow his head and apologize.
Koizumi Kazumi, on the other hand, crossed Kotaro and said, "Fool! Where did you put Keiji-sama, you forgot to deal with Keiji-sama first." ”
"Please forgive me, my lord, Ichigo just broke your tendons, and it will definitely not hurt you anywhere else. ”
As he spoke, he casually pulled out the sword on his waist and walked towards Oda Keiji,
Tragedy!
Dylan sat in his place with a smile on his face, watching the situation unfold. He wished that the Oda family could be chaotic, the scene was not chaotic enough, the water was not muddy enough, so how could Dylan's goal be achieved.
"You're not poisoned?"
Keiji Oda just let out a loud shout and wanted to stand up, but found that his whole body was weak at this time. The muscles on his body were numb for a while, and with a pop, he fell to the seat.
