Chapter 42 Destroying the edge of the mountain gate is wealth

Hidden buildings such as secret passages and sandwich walls that can be used to escape for their lives in times of crisis are naturally also available in the Yada family's residence.

However, Beizhuang Shengzhong sent troops to besiege the entire residence, coupled with a group of wealthy families running around in a messy manner, everyone stared at Yada Sakujuro, the person who was named to be arrested, even if he took the dark passage, he couldn't escape the eyes and ears of others.

When the time comes, these military forces will ask the prisoners, or they will not escape the fate of being captured, and after the wealthy clan is taken down, Shimazaki Keishinobu also led people into the back house and blocked Yada Sakujuro and others.

Hearing that Shimazaki Keishin wanted to escape through the secret passage, Yada Sakujuro couldn't help but hesitate, his original plan was to trick the other party into taking people to the front yard to fight, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape from the secret passage to the nearby disciple's house, and then find a way to sneak out of the city.

But obviously, the other party saw through his plan, so he could only go out of the dark passage first, and then find another way to get rid of this group of burdens.

Seeing that Shimazaki Keishinobu put away the Notai knife first, and then watched the ashigaru people who surrounded him also put away their knives, guns, and bows and arrows, Yada Sakujuro put his mind at ease, and asked people to put away the swords and guns first, stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said to Shimazaki Keishin, "Harima Mamoru, the great favor is really beyond repayment, please follow me ······"

Before he finished speaking, he only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and after realizing it, he quickly retreated backwards, and when his body tilted and stood unsteadily, he was immediately kicked to the ground.

Shimazaki Keishin is tall and strong, Yada Sakujuro's height has only reached his chest, the height difference between the two is very different, and when he was caught off guard, he was directly kicked in the position between his chest and abdomen, and his feet were directly off the ground, and he was directly rolled out.

Nagaoka Uemon and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, also raised their swords and guns again, and rushed up to subdue all the remaining people.

Shimazaki Keinobufu pulled out the Nota knife again, stabbed it into the soft dirt next to Yada Sakujuro's neck with a click, and placed the blade diagonally against the neck of the cheap righteous brother.

At this time, it was already nearly dusk, the evening of early spring was already cold, and he wore little, so in order to save his life, he fought and confronted people with knives, and his blood was boiling, and he didn't feel cold, but now he was kicked by someone, and he suddenly felt cold all over his body.

Yada Sakujuro curled up in a ball, convulsed and moaned, and the Notai knife pressed against his neck, and he was even more frightened and almost scattered, and begged for mercy "Harima Mamoru, Harima Mamoru ······ Didn't you and me, Brother Shimazaki, say that we will escape from the city together from the secret passage? Why is it such a joke... As soon as you arrive at the temple, whatever you want, I will ask the Venerable Master to promise you something! ”

"Phew!" Nagaoka Uemon spat him and scolded, "You have a few heads, and you are also worthy of being a righteous brother with my family!" ”

"Brother Shimazaki, I'm really sincere... I would like to bow down with you..."

"To tell you the truth, my family has never cultivated good fruits in his life, and he loves to kill people and set fires, and the last righteous brother who bowed down was cut off by me! Didn't you, the monk, say that you will give your life in return in the future? If you don't come to the money store quickly, you can't wait until later, so I'll borrow your head today! ”

Nagaoka Uemon was still worried about the golden sentences that Yada Sakujuro said, so he took the matter of Shaoda Shigetaka and came to threaten him, but he forgot that Yada Sakujuro, a native of Mikawa Country, knew what happened in Shinano.

Yada Sakujuro is right, if Kitazhuang Moritada comes over with the Metsuke team later, the amount of money and wealth seized will have to be confiscated, and he can no longer allow his subordinates to hide privately like Shinano, and keep the goods that should belong to the public treasury for private use.

In the days when Kokuji Mototsuna came to be the elder of the family, although he directly intervened in many affairs of the family, it was to abolish some of the superficial laws established by Gao Shisheng who originally imitated the military law of the Imagawa clan and replaced it with the "Musashi Thirty-Article Catalogue" handed down by the Toe Gao clan.

In addition to standardizing and approving the annual salaries of the family envoys, samurai, and various types of ashigaru, it was specifically pointed out that all major captures in the joint battle should be confiscated, and then the 'merit certificate' inherited by the memoto team was determined according to the size of the merit of each military member participating in the battle.

If the samurai want to maintain and grow for a long time, they naturally need strict laws and regulations to maintain, and the rewards and fame are investigated, and the money seized by Gao Shimori in Shinano, in addition to finding a way to go around, is used to build Hosoe Pavilion, if it were not for the Warring States Period, most of the military forces were settled on an annual basis, or even settled every two years, the remaining money would not necessarily be able to support the autumn harvest.

But even so, with hundreds of troops and three or four hundred disciples attached to eat horses and chew, it costs a lot of money just to eat and chew every day, and Gao Shisheng sent troops to seize Zhongquan Temple, in order to take the money and food accumulated in the temple as his own.

Although the head of the Asahina Motocho had already sent troops to loot it before, but Zhongquan Temple is a big temple in the county after all, and the remaining scraps are enough for Gao Shisheng to support for a period of time, and after subduing some wealthy families, he will be able to collect a sum of money and grain from the other party, which will naturally make the entire depleted wealth gradually return to normal.

However, these things are not the problems that Nagaoka Uemon should have considered when these banners went into battle, they only knew that the Yongle money in their hands was much less than before, so they could only rely on themselves to find a way, and secretly hide some valuable small objects while they were in chaos.

A gold judgment can be exchanged for at least two Yongle coins, and the small size is also easy to carry and hide.

Therefore, although these ashigaru teams in the courtyard and the Hirayama party all have them, they all agree with Nagaoka Uemon's proposal, and some people have even started to rummage through the boxes and cabinets before the prison army of Beizhuang Shengzhong comes in.

And all of them were rushing, and the gold and silver decorations inlaid in various places inside the house were gone, and even the Buddhist shrine dedicated to the ancestral tablets of the Yada family was pushed to the ground, and the incense ashes were scattered everywhere, and the spiritual seats were also trampled on in the process of scrambling.

However, this group of competing with each other did not care about the original reverence for the Dharma, and directly pulled out the foil pinned to the waist to scrape the gold leaf on the Buddha shrine.

Shimazaki Keishinobu was naturally not willing to be left behind, so he raised his right hand holding the Notai knife high, and with a hula sound, he cut the Tai knife in his hand from top to bottom, bringing up a knife wind, and directly cut off the scattered bun on the opponent's head.

This famous filial son who was born in the wild country continued to threaten, "Where is all that money hidden? Don't tell me about it, or the next knife will cut your head directly. ”
