Chapter 44 The soldiers and horses entered the county and were shocked

At this side, Gao Shisheng had just arrested Yada Sakujuro, the official of the Pure Land True Sect, for arresting and questioning him without danger, which made the people in the city fearful.

After he was appointed to the first authority of the eight counties, he did not really fabricate charges or torture him to vent his personal anger.

In addition, when Beizhuang Shengzhong took Yada Sakujuro and others back to the embassy hall, it was already night, and Gao Shisheng was tired from the carriage and horses, and it was a difficult time, so he was not interested in seeing these prisoners under the stairs at all, so he asked people to look at them directly.

In the next few days, Gao Shisheng has been staying in the Zhongquan Pavilion to live idlely, and the eight wealthy families in the county still seem to be unaware of his 'evil acting official' in the county, and Gao Shisheng himself is happy to be idle, and he does not send people to urge, but when Beizhuang Shengzhong turns back to Yuanjiang, he ordered him to go to Sajiu City and Yinma City.

In fact, for Gao Shisheng, it was also a last resort to confront the wealthy families in the county.

Nowadays, because of the isolation of roads and inconvenient transportation, and at the same time, in order to protect the interests of the wealthy clan and the national people, this samurai class, the local wealthy clans and samurai regiments will form a relatively strong alliance with each other to support each other.

These forces are not enough to annex the wealthy clans of a county, and in this way they form a force that no daimyo can easily ignore, so as to achieve influence or control over the government, finances, and military power of the county.

Not to mention that most of these people are not guilty, even if they really have a heinous crime, he, the prosecutor, has no right to torture and kill so many samurai in one breath.

Moreover, for the sake of long-term development in the future, Gao Shisheng did not dare to underestimate the power of these inconspicuous people, and the five banners of the Enoe Province led by the Asahina clan were able to gain a firm foothold in the Tokaido, and none of them were surrounded by the samurai in the countryside, and all of them were turned into a party and organized into a samurai regiment.

Even though the Imagawa clan of Sunfu regarded the samurai in the countryside as domestic slaves, they had a place among the Cao officials at all levels of Sunfu. They even tried to expand their strength and raise their family names in order to gain more troops and balance the small daimyo in Tokaido.

Gao Shisheng didn't want to offend them when he first arrived, but the rampant attitude of these wealthy families did not allow him to 'act cautiously,' and arrest Yada Sakujuro and other countrymen, of course, for the sake of prestige; After Liwei, it is to divide and co-opt, if someone still dares to resist to the death, it is not too late to find an excuse to cut off the family name.

After waiting for a few more days, on the eighth day, the news that three hundred troops under the banner of Junfu had entered the Zhongquan Pavilion quickly spread throughout the eight counties, and the wealthy clans near Zhongquan Township really began to panic.

After the self-confidence and strong battle, Gao Shisheng deeply understood that if he wanted to save a few bodies in this troubled era of the Warring States, he could do without me, but he could not do without military strength.

The eight nobles of the prefecture dared to openly despise themselves, because they saw that he did not have soldiers and horses in his hands that could crush them at any time, and if he had an army of 3,000 as he did in Shinano, how could he be so humiliated?

The one hundred and ten Yu Minglang Party who followed Gao Shisheng to take office were enough to hold the Zhongquan Pavilion, but if they wanted to go out of the city to crusade against the wealthy family, it was absolutely not enough.

The garrison of the Junfu in the eight counties is only a few hundred, and it can only be garrisoned in a critical place such as the Zhongquan Pavilion, which is far from being able to suppress many wealthy families.

What's more, the soldiers and soldiers in these armies, and even an ordinary samurai and ashigaru group leader, are not necessarily his old subordinates like Akika Nakamaro, and they are willing to obey his dispatch as a non-disobedient envoy, even if they obey his assignment, they will never dare to follow him to wantonly attack the Hao clan.

Therefore, after Gao Shisheng asked Beizhuang Shengzhong to return to Yuanjiang, he immediately sent a letter on his behalf, and borrowed troops from his uncle Asahina Yuanchang and Weng Zu Gaoshiguo to help him deter the county, and when necessary, he could also fight privately between the county and the township.

Early the next morning, Oi Mori, who had been relieved of his post as a deacon of the Yokoshiki Shrine and reappointed as a deacon of the Tateshiki Prefecture, reported to him that the wealthy clans and villages near Nakkaizumi Township had come to pay their respects with them and asked if they wanted to meet him first.

However, the wealthy clan in the north of the county led by the Suganuma clan, and the people of the country under the Shanxiu Temple in the south of the county still have not moved, I don't know if they are on the way here, or continue to wait and see the scenery, and explore the details of Gao Shisheng, the inspector who is not a disobedient envoy.

When he came to report, Gao Shisheng had just woken up, and he had been tired of driving and riding for days, which made him a little sluggish, and he turned his head to see the sun rising outside the window, and it was almost noon, so he waved his hand to let those wealthy families wait outside.

While changing his sleeves, he turned his head and instructed the servants outside the house to buy a meal, and summoned the samurai from the family to come and dine together.

After lunch, Gao Shi Shengzhi ordered Isshiki Sadahide and Hasegawa Hayato to send Beizhuang Shengzhong out of the city on his behalf, while Kuniji Yuanzuna and others stayed in the museum, and accompanied him to meet these wealthy families who 'took the initiative' to visit the house in the afternoon.

After a little reading of the names cast by the wealthy families, he ordered the Oi Mori Dynasty to carefully compare the "Noble and Inferior Lineage", which describes the samurai Miao characters since the Kamakura period, and the "Public Accounts" manuscript included in the Junfu.

So that I can have a general understanding of the Miao origin of these wealthy families, what is the general situation of the family now, what official career should be passed down by the ancestors, what kind of attitude should be treated, and whether it is worth condescending to woo, so as not to make mistakes and omissions and ignorance, otherwise it will not only be despised by the wealthy families in the county, but I am afraid that it will also damage the prestige of the Yuanjiang Gao clan.

The wealthy clans near Nakaizumi Township had been here since the morning, and had been placed in a side house by Oi Mori to sit in meditation, and although servants had come to bring them food at noon, this act of house arrest could not help but make these samurai very dissatisfied.

But no matter how much slander he felt in his heart, complaining that the newly appointed prosecutor was disrespectful to the countrymen, on the surface, they were all a group of harmony, sitting on the soft couch and chatting with each other tirelessly, greeting useless words that I don't know how many times they had been repeated.

Occasionally, maidservants came into the house to serve tea and water, and these people were also politely thanked, but they flattered the servants of the pavilion.

It was not that this group of wealthy clans, who were used to being domineering in the township, suddenly began to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and confessed their previous sins to the Bodhisattva, but because of the power of Gao Shisheng, the 'evil acting official'.

For fear that he would get the wrong place under his pretext, and ask for the same crime as the wealthy families who were arrested before, not to mention that among these people who asked to see, there were also several governors of the wealthy families, who were also arrested and imprisoned along with Yada Sakujuro, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.

They had already had the heart to come and beg for forgiveness, but Shanxiu Temple did not take action for a long time, and the other people in the township refused to go with them, so they could only sit and wait at home in fear
