Chapter 720: It's Okay, Isn't It?
This time, Liu Xiang's words made Nabeshima Katsushige really start to sweat.
In any case, he didn't expect Liu Xiang to observe so carefully.
These two men were indeed not samurai, but two peasants who had just been convicted of breaking the law. Since he was not a samurai, he naturally did not have any traces left by holding a sword for a long time.
How did he answer that?
"This, Mr. Liu, these two people are indeed samurai. It's just that you may neglect to exercise on weekdays, so it's normal that there are no marks on your hands. The murderers are really the two of them, and they admit it, don't believe you."
Liu Xiang stared at Nabeshima Katsushige, who was staring and talking nonsense, and after a while, smiled.
"It seems that you are not dead if you don't reach the Yellow River. Da Zhuang, please come over and ask you what the origin of these two people is!"
"Yes!"
A man named Da Zhuang took the order and left, and it didn't take long to bring back two middle-aged men with bags.
After getting Liu Xiang's nod, he came to the front of the two murderers.
I opened the satchel on my body.
Nabeshima Katsumao, who didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Xiang's gourd, immediately gasped. I saw that the bags of the two of them were densely packed with all kinds of utensils, flashing with a cold light. But from the point of view of style, it is not a pleasant good thing.
"Mr. Liu, what are you, what are you?" Nabeshima Katsushige was a little anxious.
"Didn't you say you could kill or chop up? I'll show you now. But before I die, I still want to know what their true identity is. Let's see, lord of the domain, if you lied to me!"
Nabeshima Katsushige opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Let's get started."
As soon as Liu Xiang gave the order, the two interrogators moved.
Then, Nabeshima Katsushige was very fortunate to appreciate the profound punishment from the ancient kingdom of the East. Listening to the screams of the two of them, he and his subordinates behind him all felt their throats dry and their hearts beat faster.
I fantasize that if it were me, would I be able to keep it a secret under such a punishment.
But it is clear that these two murderers cannot hold out.
"I say! I say! I'm a farmer! He was caught as a scapegoat by the feudal lord! If I don't come, he'll kill my whole family!" Kill me! Kill me!"
The man whose arm was cut off was the first to hold back and tell the truth.
When he opened his mouth, the people next to him couldn't help it.
No matter how serious the threat of Nabeshima Katsushige, it can't withstand the inhumane torture of the moment. So between saving their families or dying immediately, they chose the latter.
After hearing this, Liu Xiang waved his hand and signaled the executioner to stop the movements in his hands.
Then, he looked at Nabeshima Katsushige on the side with a smile.
"How?"
How so? What to say about your mother!
This staircase is already so strong, don't you plan to go down? Isn't it fucking sick!
"General Soldier Liu, I have prepared 100,000 taels of silver as a pension for the lost soldiers! Are these two men samurai or peasants, are they really that important?"
"Important!" Liu Xiang replied categorically. "I've always hated people liaring to me, even if you give me more money! I just want to know how my lost men died! Who is the murderer!
You have to give an explanation, I can't let him die blind!"
"Mr. Liu, because of an ordinary soldier, it has affected the relationship between our two countries, is it really worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
"Isn't General Liu afraid of punishment from his superiors?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Then may I ask Mr. Liu, how can I turn this matter over?"
"Turn over your mother! Our Majesty has decreed that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, no matter who the murderer is, no matter what his status is in your country. He must be punished as he deserves. Murder pays for life, it is justified!
What are you calling a dog here? Yes
Isn't that a lot of money? Lao Tzu told you, I don't embarrass you when you come here openly today, but don't think this matter is over. I'll give you another twenty days to honestly send the murderer to Lao Tzu.
Otherwise, you'll regret it, definitely!"
Nabeshima Katsushige listened to Liu Xiang's naked threat, and his heart was extremely angry, and he really wanted to kill this uncultivated guy with a knife.
But he keenly captured a message from Liu Xiang's words.
Everything he did was commanded by the Ming Emperor behind his back.
In other words, Akito seems to be calm these days, but in fact, he has raised the matter to a whole new level.
Their Emperor already knew about it, and was still going to insist on an explanation.
What to do? What to do?
Nabeshima's mind spun in circles, but he sadly found that he couldn't think of any good ideas at all.
"Are you going to get out? Why don't you force Lao Tzu to kill you directly?"
Liu Xiangcai ignored what he was thinking in his heart, and once again opened his mouth to pick up people.
Nabeshima Katsushige glanced at Liu Xiang deeply, and then turned around and left without looking back.
After watching Nabeshima Katsumao board his boat, Liu Xiang beckoned people to leave the island with a hula and a hula.
The reason why he set a deadline of 20 days was really not so that they could hand over the murderer of Zhao Dabao.
At this point, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, and it doesn't even matter if Zhao Dabao is dead or not.
The important thing is that His Majesty the Great Emperor has already issued instructions to launch a full-scale war against the Wa Kingdom half a month later, that is, after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, he and his subordinates will be the first batch of vanguard troops, the main force of the attack.
This is the first battle he has fought since he was recruited.
What kind of fight can determine his future status in the DPRK.
He was looking forward to the day.
Therefore, even if Zhao Dabao stood in front of him alive, he would say that someone else was dressed in disguise.
Nabeshima Katsushige returned to his castle with a sad heart, and because of the clear purpose of returning home, the return journey only took six or seven days.
He knew that he could no longer solve the matter on his own, so he sent someone to Tokugawa Iemitsu for help.
Time is tormenting, passing slowly but firmly.
Tokugawa Iemitsu learned of the result of Nabeshima Katsushige's visit to Liu Xiang, and faced Liu Xiang's aggressive and aggressive attitude.
He was very angry, feeling that he didn't even pay attention to himself, and he didn't know what to do.
But as soon as he thought of the Ming Emperor behind him, he reluctantly pinched his nose and recognized it.
Who makes the family invincible now!
Not only is it militarily strong, but it is also very good at doing business.
In the past few years, they have made a lot of money with them, so even if they are closed to the country, they are still willing to open their arms and embrace the Ming Dynasty.
Since Nabeshima Katsushige couldn't make a sound, he had to go by himself.
After waiting for this matter, he must kill Nabeshima Katsushige and put his territory under the direct rule of the shogunate.
Thinking so, Tokugawa Iemitsu sent an envoy to meet Liu Xiang.
The lord of his own country, he deigns to send someone to meet you, a general soldier.
It's all right?
