Besides, the hall has not been carefully arranged, only some old couches are placed, lacquered tables are placed on both sides, and a large copper stove is roughly placed in the center. Because of the humid weather, even the flames in the furnace were jumping weakly.

Although it is an assessment room, there is almost no difference compared to the longhouse in the ordinary people's home; Several of the samurai in the hall were also dressed in ordinary clothes.

A samurai, who was about forty years old, got up, scooped out a bowl of hot soup from a pot hanging over the stove, politely handed it to Suzuki Shigesei, and said, "Suzuki Sho, let's use some soup to ward off the cold first." The conditions are simple, and I am really wronged by the officials. ”

Suzuki couldn't sit down, and quickly took the soup bowl with both hands, "Matsudaira Genfan, there's no need to be so polite." ”

Three days earlier, Matsudaira Tadatsugu and Isshiki Sadahide had been ordered by the Nakaizumi Inspector to pacify eight wealthy clans from the southern part of the prefecture, while at the same time taking charge of borrowing rations, checking the hidden population, and cutting off abandoned fields.

He and his two men led 50 ashigaru out of Nakaizumikan and went south to Ichinomiya Shosho in the southern part of Shirakuhara to temporarily settle down, and at the same time sent messengers to deliver an edict to the twelve wealthy clans, 32 monasteries, and shrines in Tamagawa, Shimojo, Songshan and other townships, and summoned the heads of the houses, the officials, and others for a limited period of three days.

Although Ling Wen sent it down, the attitude of the big surname of the Hao family was very uncooperative.

In their eyes, Gao Shisheng, the new prosecutor, is not a disobedient envoy, compared to the previous head of the national dynasty Bina, whether it is prestige or status, it seems that he is lacking greatly, and the strength in his hands is even more different.

Even if the monks were destroyed in the Zhongquan Temple, it was still not enough to make the wealthy clan succumb easily, and the Matsudaira Tadashi sent by Gao Shisheng was even more unbearable.

Who is this Matsudaira Tadashi, he is quite familiar to the wealthy families in the same county, but he is a small samurai who is from the Sakurai Matsudaira clan, and Wanxing is less than a hundred stone high, and it is considered a promotion to say that he is a wealthy family.

As a native of the country of Mikawa, he actually forgot his origin for the sake of Baishi Aratian, and helped the samurai of Yuanjiang to fight for the tiger, which made people contempt for what he did

Such villains should live cautiously from now on, so as not to bring disaster to their families in the future. In the past, even if Matsudaira Tadatsugu came to the door to ask for a visit, it was still a matter of seeing or not seeing, but now he ordered all the wealthy families to come to the door to pay respects, and not many people would pay attention to it.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there are very few people from the Hao clan who came to meet in response to Matsudaira Tadashi's summons, and as expected, none of the powerful people of Konan led by Gohonmatsushigo and Noda Suganuma came to visit.

Even if there are a few wealthy families who are taken in the prestige of Junfu and have the reputation of Gao Shisheng's 'evil acting officials', the vast majority of them are not the wealthy family governors themselves, but only send relatives of one family, or retainers and samurai, to come to inquire about the trend of the style.

Suzuki Shigetai, who is the official of the monk and soldier of Yunfa Temple, is actually the only one who has some weight among them.

Suzuki Shigetsu finished a few sips of the hot soup, apologized to the other person in the assessment room, and said, "I don't have many disciples in the eight counties of Yunfa Temple, and I am young and weak, so I can't convince other people. ”

It was Isshiki Sadahide who sat in Suzuki's reset, and although it was Matsudaira Tadashi who nominally appeased Konan, no one knew that he was just a marionette who was pushed to the front of the seat, and it was the young samurai next to him who really called the shots.

Seeing that Suzuki was so humble, he immediately returned the salute, "Matsudaira Genfan once said to me that among the eight wealthy families in the south, only your temple is loyal and can share the glory and disgrace with the Junfu. The Suzuki Fang official has already tried his best, and it is too late to be grateful, so how dare he blame the Fang official. ”

After Isshiki Sadahide arrived at the Ichinomiya Shosho, Matsudaira Tadashi specially came forward to draw the line and recommended to him the monk of Yunfa Temple in front of him, Suzuki Shige.

According to Matsudaira Tadatsugu, the Yoshida Suzuki clan is a native of Mikawa Province, and moved here as early as the Kamakura period.

Therefore, Suzuki's attitude towards responding to Gao Shisheng's order can be regarded as deferential.

Such a wealthy countryman, as long as he is not a mediocre and incompetent person, will inevitably be relied on when governing the eight counties in the future. Because of this relationship, Isshiki Sadahide's attitude towards this Suzuki Fang official is also quite polite, although the two sides do not have deep contacts, but after several meetings, they can be regarded as harmonious.

"Among these twelve wealthy families, four have been married to my Yoshida Suzuki clan, after all, there is some affection. I will continue to communicate with each other as best I can, and I will try to live up to the expectations of Judge Musashi and the two adults. ”

Suzuki sighed and continued, "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. Over the years, the royal people of Junfu have been too lenient, and the government decrees and laws are limited to a few large cities in the country, and they can only impose restraints on the wealthy families scattered in the villages. Over time, they have developed the habit of arrogance and arrogance of this generation, and now the place is chaotic, and we and other people who are loyal to Junfu are becoming more and more weak, and it is not easy to want them to support them sincerely. ”

Hasegawa Hayato, who was sitting next to Isshiki Sadahide, turned his head and spat viciously to the side, and scolded, "Those people are self-respecting and look down on us!" "In order to win the trust of the wealthy clan in the south of the county, there is only one group of flag teams in the ashigaru that accompanied him this time, and the rest are military miscellaneous soldiers under the names of the wealthy clans of other families.

The refusal of these wealthy families of the eight southern counties to come did despise the origins of Isshiki Sadahide, Matsudaira Tadatsugu, and Hasegawa Hayato, but this was not necessarily the main reason.

Matsudaira Tadatsugu, who had just brought the soup to Suzuki, was so angry when he heard Hayato Hasegawa say this, he couldn't help but complain, "Yes." Look at the samurai sent by those wealthy families, they simply regard themselves as guardian daimyo, and if they are not satisfied, they will make noise. ”

This time, the people who followed Isshiki Zhenxiu are all ordinary and light, how can they know how to usher in this set. Therefore, in the past few days, all of them have been matsueda, and they have all been entertained by the samurai of those wealthy families. He thought it was just an ordinary errand, but he was so angry.

Except for Suzuki Shigesei, who was related by marriage, the rest of the wealthy samurai were all above the top, treating him, the governor of the Matsudaira clan, as a lowly servant, and shouting wantonly. After a few days of tossing, Rao is a good man with no temper like Matsudaira Tadatsugu, and he is about to lose his temper.

Hasegawa Hayato echoed beside him, "Those local tycoons are all pretentious goods, and they must be like the Junfu, send troops to hit the door directly, press them to the ground one by one, and cut off their heads with a knife, so that we can know who these eight counties have the final say." ”
