Chapter 18 Wanting to Present the Pit Viper Trick Chuan and Seek Saito
Bee Suga Masanori also knows that he is two pounds, and the leaders of the people on one side are just gold on their faces, but if they don't say it politely, they are still just thieves who hold hundreds of people hostage. How to really get into the eyes of a big man like Nagai Norihide (Saito Michizo), let alone enter the house and see his daughter and son-in-law, so he was naturally shocked when he heard this. Shocked, the big fish in the net suddenly turned into a shark, and it was about to swallow itself; Suspicious, can you really be so coincidental that you meet such a big man in person without protection and alone?
Without waiting for Bee Suga Zhengli to go up and down in his heart, he came up with a few words to try around, Jingzhen suddenly put away his majesty and said with a smile:
"Haha! In the casual remarks below, how can His Royal Highness Wasuka be taken seriously. I also work for Lord Guixiu, and His Royal Highness Wasuka and I are also colleagues, not outsiders, and many words can be explained straight to the point. We were ordered by Lord Norrihide to be active in Kyoto all year round, but it was rare to come back once, and I was invited to his home by His Royal Highness Wasuka! ”
Although Masatoshi Wasuka has not read seriously, he also understands the truth that "what you shouldn't know, the less you know, the better". Hearing that the four of them admitted themselves to be Saito Michizo's subordinates, they suddenly fell like a bucket of ice water straight down to the Yangding Cave and fell into the Wanzhang Ice Cave.
If the young man in front of him hadn't played tricks on himself, he was afraid that he hadn't inadvertently mixed with or even delayed Saito Michizo's confidential affairs, and he would be more likely to be targeted by the other party because of this. Thinking about the viciousness and ruthlessness of the "pit viper", my heart is bitter: obviously I was still sitting at home at the last moment, and I was planning to expand my power with several leaders; The next moment, his subordinate carried such a large bag of explosives home, and he was about to blow up his belongings.
Jingzhen watched Masatoshi Bee Suga freeze in place, his face pale, and cold sweat, and knew that he was deeply afraid of the three lewd powers of Saito Michi, and he was already frightened by the "pit viper" routine operations such as murder and extermination. So he strode through Wasuka Masatoshi and a few others, and sat down towards the main seat in the house, and then motioned to Wasuka Masatoshi and the rest of the leaders who had entered in a foolish manner to sit down, and said meaningfully:
"Compared to the unlucky people who met His Highness and had his itinerary blocked, it seems that His Highness Wasuka seems to be even more unlucky!"
Jingzhen's words were kind, but Wasuka Masato had already figured out this verse, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head and say:
"We have delayed the major affairs of His Royal Highness Nagai Guixiu, and we really deserve death, so I will send all the envoys on the road, and I hope that the envoys will have a few more kind words in front of His Royal Highness Nagai Guixiu!"
As Wasuka Masanori bowed his head and confessed, several other leaders also knelt down and kowtowed, it seemed that the danger had passed, but Jingzhen knew that such bandits were cunning and suspicious.
Although he was frightened by himself for a while and promised to leave, if he really went as he said, the other party would definitely feel that something was wrong. Obviously he has a secret, but his whereabouts are exposed, but he doesn't say anything, which is obviously unreasonable. Either they pretended to be secret envoys and tried to escape, or they hid and did not make a statement, and they were all unacceptable consequences for the Sichuan and the public. Then your party will be left behind forever no matter what.
Therefore, Jingzhen changed to a more comfortable and arrogant posture in the seat, and suddenly said:
"Hasn't His Highness Wasuka heard that 'it is easy to please the gods, but it is difficult to send the gods'? After listening to my identity with your ears open, don't you plan to give an explanation to Lord Guixiu! ”
Then, Wasuka Masanori and others repeatedly pleaded and pleaded, but Jingzhen did not appreciate it, and asked sharply, putting on a posture that would never let go afterwards, completely ignoring his weak strength and the situation of being trapped in a den of thieves.
Seeing that Wasuka Masatoshi was begging for no result and had no way to survive, he gradually developed the idea of a fish dying and breaking the net, and after exchanging glances with several other leaders, Jingzhen finally grasped the change in Wasuka Masato's mentality before he made up his mind, and changed his breath and said:
"That's it, it seems that His Royal Highness Wasuka is very sincere in serving Lord Kirihide, and now there is an opportunity to use your Kawawa people to serve Lord Nagai Norihide, it depends on whether His Highness Wasuka can grasp it well. Lord Nagai Norihide has always been unrestrained and thirsty for talent, and if His Royal Highness Wasuka is capable of accomplishing this and making great contributions, he will get rid of the mud in one fell swoop and become one of the most important ministers of his family. ”
It can be said that the peak is turning around, and when he heard that Jingzhen opened a way to live, the courage that Bee Suga Masaka had finally mustered collapsed instantly, and several leaders of his subordinates made up a drama of tying the messenger by mistake, killing people and killing people, dying in the world, and regaining vitality.
Even for the sake of fish and meat, the leader of the Kawanami group has also accepted his fate, and he is ready to receive Saito Michizo's fateful errand with his head drooping. Although it had been expected that the pit viper's plot must be extremely dangerous, otherwise they would not have lifted up their group of bandits. But after listening to Jingzhen's first sentence, several people were still frightened.
"Does His Highness Wasuka also feel that our guardian lord, His Highness Saito Toshira, is already old?"
"You should have heard of the current situation, His Royal Highness Toki Yoritake, who was far away in Echizen, was about to move, and His Royal Highness Saito Toshira echoed inside, which made the Guardian Lord and Lord Norihide even more uneasy. If the people of Kawa and the people can now clean up the trouble of His Royal Highness Saito Toshira, the henchman of Lord Guixiu, Lord Guixiu will definitely have a good reward. ”
The history that Jingzhen said is an important scene in the history of Saito Michi's three families.
In the 3rd year of the reign of Koroku (1530), with the strong support of the Toki clan's important ministers Nagahiro Nagai and Saito Michizo (who was still called Nishimura Masayoshi at this time), the battle between Mino's former son-in-law Toki Yoritake and his second son Toki Yorigi finally ended with Toki Yoriki winning and Toki Yoritake going to his wife clan to join the Asakura clan.
After Toki Yorigi succeeded Mino Guardian, Saito Toshira, the Mino Guardian Daisaito Toshira, who supported the defeated Toki Yoritake, lost power, and Nagahiro Nagai replaced him with Gong and gained real power in Mino One Country. But Nagai Nagahiro didn't get complacent for long, and Saito Michizo murdered him, and then changed his name to Nagai Norihide, inheriting Nagai's family name and status.
According to the course of history, in the following years, Nagai Norihide finally waited for the loss of the guardian generation Saito Toshira to die of illness, and then changed his name to Saito Toshimasa (law name Michisan), officially ruling state affairs as the guardian generation. Not long after, Saito Michizo exiled the big boss Mino's guardian Toki Yoriyi, and completely completed the transition from a common man to a daimyo of a country.
It is not difficult to deduce that this "pit viper" who is still known as Nagai Norihide has now set his sights on the name of the Saito clan, and if Kawanami can help him complete the tracing in advance and show a certain strength, then the most realistic Saito Michizo will be able to absorb it regardless of his previous suspicions, and he will not care about his own fraudulent use of his son-in-law's name. I have a chance to get out again.
A complete combing of the legendary "Mino Viper" is a family slave with several surnames: formerly known as Matsuba Shogoro (from his biological father Matsuba Kitsuma), renamed Yamazaki Yashogoro (operating an oil shop named Yamazakiya), renamed Nishimura Masatoshi (from the old Nishimura Masato of the Nagai family), renamed Nagai Norihide (from the original boss Nagai Nagahiro), renamed Saito Toshimasa (from the guardian generation Saito Toshira), and the French name Michizo. The loss is that the lintel of the Toki clan is too high, and he can't climb it no matter how hard he climbs, otherwise I'm afraid he will be able to change it again in the end.
However, in the end, the pit viper still did not let go of his surname, and changed the name of several sons to the Ichishiki clan (not to the eldest son Saito Yoshiryu, and then Saito Yoshiryu felt that he was partial, so he killed the pit viper, and then changed his surname to Isshiki. Of course, that's another story)
