In the open school yard in the backyard of Nagadaso, only a chord sound could be heard. An arrow left the string, and on the target man made of straw thirty steps away, on the human-shaped arrow target seven feet high, there were several dense arrows, all of which were around the target's chest, and the force was so great that it even penetrated the front heart.

After a round of shooting, all the arrows are hit. Gao Shisheng lowered the longbow in his hand and took a few breaths, he hadn't sharpened his martial arts for a long time, but he didn't expect to feel tired just by tightening the bowstring for a few rounds. sighed in his heart, no wonder Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty had the sigh of 'living in comfort and comfort, and resurrecting his flesh', thinking about it carefully, he himself didn't know how many days and months he had wasted.

Seeing him stop, Yashichiro, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly approached, took a piece of white silk cloth, stood on tiptoe and raised his hands, to wipe the sweat from his forehead for Gao Shisheng.

The cuffs of the stumbling sleeve are loose, and as soon as Yaqiro raises his hand, it fades behind the elbow, revealing half of the bright wrist that is as smooth as jade dangling in front of Gao Shisheng, and a faint warm fragrance wafts out of the sleeve, which makes people smoke. His body was only as short as Gao Shisheng's chest, a whole head shorter, in order to help wipe the sweat, the whole body had to be pasted, through a few layers of thin clothes, feeling the soft and warm fragrance in his arms, it was his good without Longyang, and I had to admit that this little waiter was indeed a 'gentle beauty'.

Nagata Toshishi probably mistakenly thought that he was interested in his own servant, so he sent Yashiro to serve Gao Shisheng's daily life.

Gao Shisheng didn't have the habit of letting people serve him like this, especially when the other party was still a beautiful boy, he moved sideways and moved out of the way, signaled the other party to step back first, his eyes were deep and sharp, he raised his hand and drew an arrow from the step pendant on his waist, bent the bow and shot it vigorously, only to hear a whoosh, this time hitting the head of the target.

The longbow he is using now is one of the few useful treasures in the Nagata family's collection. The bow is all painted with black lacquer, and then wrapped around it several times with rattan. The upper part is wound 36 times and the lower part is wound 28 times, and it is the most representative heavy wisteria longbow in Ogasawara Ryu bow technique, and is famous for its heavy arrow piercing.

Although Gao Shisheng has always claimed that he is not familiar with the art of war, as a son of a martial artist, he can ride a horse and drive a hard bow no matter how bad he is.

After the gathering of the village was unhappily dispersed, for some reason, Gao Shisheng simply moved to Changtian's house for a long time, only said to the outside world that it was to facilitate the transfer of food and disaster relief, but in the eyes of the township Haoqiang, it became weak and bulliable, and there was no face to show up in the township again.

Acting officials can be brutal or greedy, but they must not be weak or incompetent. Born in troubled times, no matter how pretentious the samurai is, the ferocity and tyranny in his bones will never change.

In the face of Gao Shisheng's concession, Misawa Zuobei became more and more arrogant, and even threatened his 'tribesmen' to not allow them to go to the village to serve their official duties without permission, so that there was a shortage of labor, and the originally planned rebuilding of the village road was also forced to shelve, and the villagers could only return to the village to collect grain first.

In the past few days, every morning, Gao Shisheng will come to the school to shoot a bow and arrow, not only to vent the anger in his heart, but also to exercise his body and recover his abandoned art of war and martial arts.

In the Warring States Period, medical conditions were limited, and a little illness could kill people, Kimura Heiroku injured his foot, and he didn't have a good idea until now, although there was no shortage of battlefield generals who lived to his old age, but he would not entrust his life to the ethereal gods and Buddhas, not to mention that he didn't want to fight the enemy in close quarters when he went to the battlefield, so it was necessary to practice a good bow, whether it was killing the enemy or self-defense.

He stepped forward, took off the long arrow stuck in the target, stood forty paces away, drew his bow and shot vigorously, until the straw target man was full of holes, and then he could not stop yet. These days of hard training are not all fruitless, the hit rate is much higher than at the beginning, it seems that the way of arching horses is a skill that the children of the samurai family are born with, although it is far inferior to the samurai who have been practicing bow for many years, but it is also a little bit of the same.

Sixty paces away, after the last round of shooting, Gao Shisheng was already sweating and heavy, and raised his head slightly, Yashiro immediately stepped forward again, sensing that Xiang Zuo didn't like to get too close, so he instead offered a clear water silk cloth for him to wash himself, turned around and packed up the bow and arrows, and helped to change into a new and clean white clothes, so as not to get into the cold, and then led Gao Shisheng to the three-story platform in the middle courtyard.

Looking out from the railing of the pavilion road, the flat mountain villa is set against the backdrop of the mountains to the north, and the 'filthy village' on the edge of the Misawa River at the foot of the mountain seems insignificant.

Flicking his sleeves to the top floor, there were already many people waiting in the wide room, in addition to the head of the family, the Nagata brothers, there were also Aoki master and apprentice, Hasegawa ancestor and grandson, and the monk Zhenghong had been sitting on both sides for a long time.

Gao Shisheng took the lead, stepped into the main seat, and after Yashiro closed the door, seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, Hasegawa Mototada got up immediately, took out something from his arms, walked to Gao Shisheng, and handed it over.

Gao Shisheng caught it, only to see that it was a ghost and god proverb, the words were short, but the words were extremely vicious, all of which were obituaries that cursed the collapse of the shogunate and the severance of the Ashikaga Gate, and suddenly understood it in his heart, put it on the table, and asked pretending not to know: "What is this?" ”

Hasegawa Mototada leaned over and replied: "This is the evidence that Misawa Left Guard, who wants to incite a pinch and plot against him!" ”

Beizhuang Manjiro replied with a smile: "There is a way that is neither poisonous nor bald, thanks to the master of Zhenghong Academy, otherwise how could we have thought that the Misawa family would be so vicious!" As he spoke, he also sent more than a dozen pieces of illegal evidence from various powerful families in the township, some of which were true, and some of which were simply fabricated casually.

This kind of fallacy can be compared to the sacrifice of Yuan Yin Liang and Ping Jiangmen, the two thieves of the former dynasty. Private sacrifices can also be interpreted as fear of evil spirits and calming the wrath of ghosts and gods. Junfu has just issued a ban on gossip, once it is found that it must be an unforgivable crime, the light will be the destruction of the clan, the heavy will affect the three clans, implicate the Lang party guests under the door, so old friends.

"Amitabha!" Monk Zhenghong sat at the end with a sad face, heard this, frightened and quickly recited the Buddha's name, after the assembly that day, the great monk was detained in the village, and then was held hostage to Changtianzhuang, everyone coerced and lured, let him write down the crimes and evil things committed by Haoqiang told him by the village leaders in the past, and he had to make up if he didn't have to, and the crime of gossip was one of them.

"Will this be ......" Monk Zhenghong didn't dare to say, he couldn't have imagined that he would lead someone to the Zhuang Institute to sue at the beginning, and he would climb into this kind of rebellious thing.

"Zen master should know that my Buddha is not only a bodhisattva with low eyebrows and six paths of compassion, but also a vajra angry eye, showing thunderous means to deter external demons." Gao Shisheng didn't think it was wrong, and now that it was impossible for Monk Zhenghong to quit.

However, in order to prevent leaks, he still warned: "In the next few days, I will have to bother the Zen master to continue to stay at Nagata's house and talk about Buddhism with Mr. Ritchie." ”

“…… The poor monk understands! ”

This false accusation was arranged by Gao Shisheng, and he only chose the bold Aoki master and apprentice in the village, and if Aoki Dashan had not stopped him that day, he would have drawn a knife and beheaded Misawa Zuobei and his party under the knife, and he had the courage to kill in public, so he naturally had the courage to make a false accusation.

The Hasegawa father and son wanted to restore the family name, and the Nagata brothers were also eager to serve the county, so they could be entrusted with big things, and after the conspiracy, they came forward and secretly collected evidence of the crimes of the Misawa family and other people with the testimony of the monk Zhenghong.

But he couldn't make up his mind who to choose to denounce, after all, the involvement was too great, where did ordinary people have the courage, but he didn't expect Hasegawa Mototada to be willing to personally denounce him, so it was good, and his own testimony would greatly reduce the possibility of retracting his confession.

He put away all the charges, lightly buckled the table, and promised: "In this way, Yataro will take someone to the county with me in the afternoon to report the Misawa family's evil words and confuse the public, and with this credit, I can also recommend it to my uncle." ”

Hasegawa Mototada was overjoyed when he heard this, and called his grandson to kneel next to him, and today Yajiro was dressed in a new brand, changed his poor appearance, and solemnly entrusted him to Gao Shisheng: "Xiangzuo has been in the township for a long time, and no one can follow him. ”

This kind of big thing, no hostage, let alone Gao Shisheng, will not be at ease, even Hasegawa Mototada will doubt the reliability of the promise, and they know each other, but Gao Shisheng still asked according to the rules: "Yajiro, are you willing to follow me." ”

Yajiro's young face, the childishness has not yet been taken off, and no one has given him a yuan suit, suddenly heard Xiangzuo asking, and said without thinking: "The father is the son's life, the king is the minister, everything depends on the monarch's father!" The implication is that he already regards Gao Shisheng as his father, whether these words were taught by Hasegawa Mototada or not, but it is extraordinary to be able to say it fluently in front of so many people without humility or arrogance.

Gao Shisheng was very satisfied with his attitude, and also solemnly promised: "When the Misawa Gate is destroyed, I will personally serve you!" "The Hasegawa family, a broken military servicer, can be married to the children of the Gao clan in the Yuanjiang family, which can be said to be a great favor, and it will be of great help to Yajiro in the future.

Yajiro bowed three times to his grandfather and father, thanking them for their kindness to him for so many years, and turned to kneel behind Gao Shisheng, from now on, he is no longer the son and grandson of the Hasegawa family, but Gao Shisheng's personal servant.

At the beginning of Gao Shisheng's tenure, he was empty-handed, had no wealth, and worked hard to get two or three henchmen, and the wealthy businessmen obeyed. He thought in his heart: "Although there are many people who are despicable, there are many people, as long as they are able to encircle effectively, they can always select some brave and ruthless people to expand their wings." ”

"Does the village need someone to guard my family?" Nagata Toshishi was quite concerned about the seizure of Misawa's family property, and it can even be said that he not only took the initiative to participate, but also vigorously instigated it.

To the gentleman is not conducive to the dangerous wall, to admonish Gao Shisheng, there is no shortage of outlaws under the Misawa family, if the news is revealed, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not send someone to murder, out of safety considerations, please simply hide in Nagagazhuang for a while, closed door.

Nagata Toshishi didn't look down on the Misawa family's savings, but out of not wanting to feed the officials in the county, sooner or later he would still focus on his own consideration, thinking that instead of dealing passively, it would be better to preemptively launch a substitute for the dead.

Looking at the village who was talking and laughing, his eyes were full of jealousy, and at the same time, he was a little glad in his heart, Gao Shi Sheng could falsely accuse the Misawa family, and naturally he could also falsely accuse him of the Nagata family, who can guarantee that if he refused to open the warehouse and release grain, this evil word would not fall on his own family.

"If you need it, you have to ask Mr. Ritchie to prepare some more entanglements for dotting." The conviction of the Misawa family must be done by Gao Shisheng himself to rest assured, even if the two agencies are unwilling to accept it, he will have to spend money to buy it, and beg his uncle to come forward to Hinamoto and kill Misawa Saemon for himself, paused and said: "I am tired of the master of Zhenghong Yuan to write another document of denunciation, and I will also go to the county at the same time." ”

Only one is down-and-out, and the two halls may not pay attention to the adoption, but if you add monks, even if it is a monk of the Pure Land True Sect, the two halls will not pay attention to it, but they must also pay attention to it.

After serving as a locality, he personally felt why the daimyo of each family hated the people of the country.

The place is slippery, and it has reached the point where it cannot be governed.

After the rise of the samurai, the main problem faced was the samurai regiments and the people of the country in various places, and in order to combat them, the Misawa clan was originally from Kansai and later moved to the eastern country.

When he arrived at the Muromachi shogunate, because the Ashikaga clan was overly dependent on local wealthy clans, after the establishment of the shogunate, it encountered the confrontation between the northern and southern dynasties, and after finally unification, under pressure from all sides, it had to grant and acquiesce in the extremely high autonomy of the guardian daimyo, and the guardian daimyo gave the power to the countrymen who supported him.

The power of the local wealthy clans has swelled again. These powerful and powerful sects, either relying on financial resources and bravery, or relying on the three management and four positions, exploring the public side, constantly fighting with each other, embezzling the shogunate's heavenly territory, arbitrarily cutting off the township, rampaging the prefectures and counties, and even killing and guarding, which can be called lawless.

In order to restore the crumbling authority of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshikyo, the evil imperial office, replaced the evaluation and introduction of the public with the Gozen Satai, and appointed officials who could attend the Gozen Satai on their own. At the same time, the power of the ruler was limited, and the daimyo could report directly to the shogun without going through the governor.

At the same time, the Ashikaga Yoshikyo also reorganized and reformed the Hokkaido under the direct jurisdiction of the shogun, and limited the military power of the shogunate. In order to strengthen the finances, the suspended exploration trade was resumed and was carried out directly by the shogunate.

During the Cargill Rebellion, Ashikaga Yoshikyo killed Akamatsu Mitsusuke in Kyoto Akamatsukan, and Yamana Kiki, who accompanied him, was killed on the spot; Hosokawa Mochiharu had one of his arms cut off; Kyogoku Takashu and Ouchi were seriously injured and died the next day, and so many important ministers died in one breath, and the Muromachi shogunate fell into chaos.

With the Akamatsu Raid, the local tyrants began to develop again, and the situation became more serious after losing the control of the shogunate, and the shogun also had to rely on the support of the local people in order to gain a foothold in Kyoto and resist the oppression of the rulers.

After the Onin Rebellion, the land was seriously annexed, the disasters continued for many years, and the people were struggling to make a living, and before the shogunate could make a decision, Kyoto fell back into military rebellion, and the national guards led the troops for a long time, and the domestic heroes often gathered thousands or thousands of troops, or built cities to protect themselves, or rebelled.

The current Sengoku daimyo sent a deputy official like Gao Shisheng to severely crack down on the wealthy clans who disobeyed the laws and regulations of the law, and at the same time had to grant the subordinate countrymen the right of autonomy.

Gao Shisheng's Yuanjiang Gao clan is the Imagawa genealogy of the retainers, and his clan has been attached to Junfu for generations, and in return, he has served as many as more than ten county guards, and has received the seal of Yuanjiang Wanshi, and has a marriage with 36 people in Yuanjiang, which shows the huge power.

Although Misawa Left Guard can't be compared with the Gao family, such a real Haozong strong right, at most he is a local snake, but for Xiangzuo and Zhuang Guan, he is already a very powerful opponent.

Gao Shisheng came to serve in the township, not to fight the wealthy family, he read all the history books, and knew very well how the two princes of Minamoto Yoritomo and Ashikaga Takashi started their families. In addition, he knew that he wanted to protect himself in troubled times, so he had to rely on Haoyou and form a party with him, so he had the intention to take over, but the wealthy families in Pingshan Township regarded him as nothing, not only refused to use his strength to let him rely on, but also prevented him from governing and winning the hearts of the people.

If it doesn't move, once it happens, these incriminating evidence are enough to wipe out Misawa Ichi.

He looked at the place of heaven and earth through the attic window, looked at the place where heaven and earth met, looked forward to the left and right people, and said angrily: "Misawa Zuobei bullied the people and fought against Junfu, he is really a chaotic minister and thief, not killing is not enough for the people to be angry, and insulting me too much, whether it is for the people, or for the reputation of the Gao family, I will punish the three clans!" ”
