Chapter 719: Peasants or Samurai
"Father, father. I don't know."
Mitsushige Nabeshima was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his heart was full of complaints, but he still didn't dare not answer Nabeshima Katsushige's question.
It's been so long, just beat me up when you think about it, beat me up when you think about it!
He also asked me how much money I should give to Akito to apologize!
I don't know?
"I don't know!? You dare to say that you don't know what you've caused!?" Nabeshima Katsushige's eyes widened again, causing Nabeshima Mitsushige to shrink his head in fright.
"I really don't know~"
"You!" Nabeshima Katsushige raised his hand again, but eventually put it down. "Rubbish! Sooner or later, the Nabeshima family will be destroyed by your hands!"
Nabeshima Katsushige was angry, and seeing that Nabeshima Mitsushige couldn't make any good suggestions, he stood up and walked out.
I found my two staff members, and after discussing for a long time, I finally decided on the plan.
Bring 100,000 taels of silver and go to apologize to Mingren.
As for Zhao Dabao's body, it must not be handed over.
In his opinion, 100,000 taels of silver to buy the life of an ordinary soldier is not too cost-effective, coupled with a big apology, how can Ming people disagree?
Moreover, he also planned to ask Liu Xiang to meet in person to express his sincerity in solving the problem.
So, he said he would do it, and the next day he took the people out to sea in a boat.
After several tosses and turns, after drifting at sea for more than ten days, Nabeshima Katsushige met Liu Xiang on a small island as he wished.
He was fortunate to meet Zheng Zhilong once, but it was the first time he had seen Liu Xiang, a rising star.
But in terms of his current status in Daming, Liu Xiang is only slightly inferior to Zheng Zhilong.
"Nabeshima Katsushige has seen Mr. Liu."
Following the example of Akito, Nabeshima Katsushige made a salute.
Since you are here to admit your mistakes, you must admit your mistakes and stand up when you are beaten.
As long as you can settle this matter, suffer a little humiliation, and spend some money is nothing. It's better than taking the opportunity to make trouble and suffer a greater loss after his son is caught.
"Oh, the lord of the Saga Domain?"
"Right down there."
"You're here to bring our soldiers back?" Liu Xiang sat on the chair with a golden knife, squinted his eyes and said coldly. A small feudal lord of the Wa Kingdom, he really doesn't care.
"It'sβit's not." Nabeshima Katsumo Road. "Mr. Liu, that's right. After a careful investigation into this matter, we can only tell General Liu with grief that your lost soldiers have definitely been killed!"
After speaking, his face was sad, as if it was his seventh uncle and grandfather who died.
"What!?"
Liu Xiang stood up suddenly.
"After waiting so long, you came to give us such news? All right! Killed! What about the murderer? Who killed it? How to kill? Why was it killed? What about Zhao Dabao's corpse?"
Liu Xiang stared at Nabeshima Katsushige's series of questions, and Nabeshima Katsumao's forehead began to sweat.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Liu, we have already brought the murderer. It's just that Zhao Dabao's miss was thrown into the river by them, and we didn't find it for many days. I'm afraid I've already drifted into the sea."
Nabeshima Katsushige wiped the sweat from his head and replied pretending to be honest.
The implication is that we brought the murderer, but you lost people. If you are alive, you will definitely not live, but you will not see the body when you die.
It's floating in the sea, you can find it.
"Floating in the sea? Why don't you float into the sea? I'm going to lose my mother!"
Even though Nabeshima Katsushige's acting skills are very good, Liu Xiang still has no intention of saving face for him, and scolds when he opens his mouth, and it is quite ugly.
Liu Xiang scolded while observing Nabeshima's reaction.
Zhao Dabao's disappearance is indeed a big trouble.
But to say how sad he was in his heart, it was really impossible.
It's not a very important subordinate in the first place, and there are few opportunities to meet on weekdays, how much affection can there be?
But the spirit above had already reached him, so even if he could guess Nabeshima Katsushige's intentions, he still planned to ferment this matter without limit.
Liu Xiang thought that Nabeshima Katsushige would be angry when he scolded him, but surprisingly, Nabeshima Katsushige was even more endurable than he imagined.
Although he saw the anger rising in Nabeshima's eyes, he finally endured it.
"Mr. Liu is angry. We don't want something like this to happen. That's why I've brought the two murderers here and left them at your disposal."
After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the two murderers to be escorted in.
The two men, whom he called murderers, were emaciated and dressed as samurai, and were carried by people in a languid manner, with their heads bowed and not saying a word.
Liu Xiang looked at it coldly and smiled disdainfully.
"These two are the samurai of your Wa Kingdom?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu. I'm ashamed to say that they are still the samurai of our Saga Domain! It's really a family misfortune for this to happen, alas! The two of them will be left to Liu Zongbing, you can dispose of it! If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"
"Hmph, that's easy to say." Liu Xiang was noncommittal, pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and gently flicked the hands of the two.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nabeshima Katsushige talked to himself again.
"In addition to this, I have prepared some silver taels as a pension for your soldiers. There is not much silver, only 100,000 taels. Please help us bring our sincerest greetings and apologies to his family!"
"Oh..." Liu Xiang glanced at him. Are you really sorry?"
"I'm really sorry..."
"Oh~"
Liu Xiang boiled calmly, then raised the steel knife in his hand, and when the knife fell, he cut off the arm of a murderer. Blood gushed from his arm, and the murderer was no longer as languishing as before, screaming through the sky.
"Then how fucking do you dare to mess with Lao Tzu!?"
Liu Xiang pointed a knife at Nabeshima Katsumao's nose and asked through gritted teeth.
As soon as he moved, the people behind Nabeshima Katsushige immediately pulled out their knives and glared angrily at Liu Xiang, with the momentum of starting without saying a word.
And the people around Liu Xiang were not to be outdone, and raised the muskets in their hands one after another.
The atmosphere became tense for a while.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean?" Rao is Nabeshima Katsushige can endure it again, and it is a little difficult to suppress his anger at this time.
100,000 taels of silver, plus two murderers.
Isn't it enough to give you face? Didn't I come to apologize in person, wasn't it enough to give steps?
Even if the strength of the Wa Kingdom is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, he is also a prince, when did he suffer such humiliation! It's just too deceitful!
"What do you mean? Then I'll ask the lord to crouch down and take the murderer's arm and take a look. On the palm of his hand, how can there be traces of knife practice? This is clearly a pair of hands that are used to doing farm work! You tell me, the two of them, after all, farmers! Or the samurai you call it!?"
