Ignoring the complaints of the two, Ichishiki Sadahide said to Suzuki Shigesei, "Since the heads of the families and the officials of the clan have not been able to come, it must be because it is raining and it is difficult to walk." In this case, I would like to ask the Suzuki Workshop official to tell the people of all countries on my behalf that I am willing to wait for another three days. In the afternoon after the third day, I will officially hold a banquet to entertain all the Chinese people, and please be sure to come to the meeting. ”

This was the first time he had been ordered to settle affairs, so he still wanted to achieve his goal by as much as possible by peaceful means.

"One color case master, don't say it's two days, even if you wait for another two months, I'm afraid no one will come again. After all......" Suzuki Shigetsu held the tea bowl and kept rubbing, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "After all, all the wealthy families are powerful warriors, and there are even many brave and famous warriors in the clan, which are not comparable to idle servants." For such a wealthy family, in the past, the Lord of Tamba Hyogo also asked the retainers or the officials in the county to come forward to extend. Although the Musashi judge came from a famous family in Toe, he was above the prestige······ Ahem, it's a little lighter! ”

Suzuki Shigetsu was very cautious, and as he spoke, he looked at Isshiki Sadahide's expression. Seeing that Isshiki Sada-suk's face did not change at all, he continued, "I talked to Saigo Danmasaka before I came, and I heard him say that yesterday the governor of the Suganuma clan of Noda Castle sent a message to the wealthy clans of the township, and wanted to invite the heads of each family to gather in Noda Castle to discuss the future...... When the time comes, I am afraid that all the wealthy families of the township will rush there. ”

"Noda Castle ......" Ichishiki Sadahide looked unchanged and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Suzuki Shigetsu was afraid that the prosecutor would not believe it, so he hurriedly explained, "There is no doubt about it." The Noda Suganuma clan is the clan of the Mino guardian Toki clan, and the Tamine Suganuma clan is separated. Although this branch is a newly established branch, it is thriving, and there are many military services that can be mobilized in the territory. ”

"I am also in-law with many wealthy families such as Saigo, Ina and Toda in the south of the county, and I have served as the official of Zenshu Temple, and I am a powerful countryman in the south of the county, and I have a great reputation. Suganuma Dingcun people...... Ahem...... It is said that he had some dealings with the Oda family in Owari Province. ”

Isshiki Sadahide's expression moved slightly, and he carefully interrogated about Suganuma Dingcun and invited the heads of various families, and some questions were even asked several times.

Suzuki is good-tempered, without any irritability, and answers all questions. Speaking of details, he also took a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one for Isshiki Sadahide, but he never wrote down the slightest handwriting about the Suganuma clan and the Oda family, obviously for fear of implicating himself.

It seems that this official came, and when he had another plan, after half an hour, Yishi Zhenxiu got up with his sleeves and said meaningfully, "I completely understand...... Suzuki Bo officials have a heart. ”

"Since all the wealthy families have important matters, it is really difficult for me to force them. Fortunately, there are samurai in each family, so I think I will be able to convey the meaning of the Musashi judge back home. It has been decided that whether or not the heads of the family can arrive in time, I will formally host a banquet in the afternoon in three days' time. There is a labor workshop official to pass the word on behalf of him. For other matters, there is no need to worry about it. ”

Suzuki Shigetsu was stunned, he came in the rain tirelessly, focusing on Noda Suganuma clan Neitong Oda, hoping that the other party could pass the message to the 'evil acting official' in the Nakkaizumi Pavilion on his behalf, so as to attack Suganuma Dingcun, who had a grudge against his family.

But this pursuer's mind is obviously placed elsewhere, and he attaches more importance to whether he can successfully invite those wealthy families and officials this time.

More importantly, he also wanted to ask if the Yunfa Temple and the Yoshida Suzuki family had been working so hard in the past few days that they did not hesitate to offend some powerful countrymen in the southern township of the county, and whether the Nakkaizumi Embassy could find some way to compensate them? At the very least, we must support Fayun Temple and recapture the monastery that was robbed by Shanxiu Temple.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to say more. This Isshiki case owner is kind, but his methods and character are a little too weak. I'm afraid that even if I said it, I can't give an answer now, so I can only go to the Nakasenkan in person in the future.

Thinking so, Suzuki Chongding said politely, "Yes, I understand, so I will go back and tell the wealthy families." ”

After that, he took his leave after several thorough manners. Isshiki Sadahide took Matsudaira Tadatsugu and Hasegawa Hayato to send him outside the Shosho Gate, and although Yada Shunchao and others came to the Shosho and settled down in the longhouse in the front yard, they didn't have the slightest intention of going to meet Suzuki Shigetsu, even if they saw the three of Isshiki Sadahide, they didn't even say hello.

Isshiki Zhenxiu was not annoyed, looked at the other party with a smile and bowed his head, and returned to the evaluation room.

He returned to the couch and sat down, took the pen and paper that Suzuki had used to reset, wrote a new letter beside him, and wrote down all the things that had happened, and then took a cloth bag, sealed the two documents, and put them in.

Then he said to Matsudaira Tadatsugu, "Where is the envoy now?" Please ask the Xuan Fan to help her, and the four of them will come over immediately. ”

In order to maintain contact with the Nakasenkan, the three of Isshiki Sadahide traveled back this time, and specially arranged for four envoys to accompany them, listening to Isshiki Sadahide's meaning, he actually sent all of them to escort the letters in one go.

But it's not because he doesn't pay attention to it, this matter involves the Owari Oda family, in case it is really Noda Suganuma clan through Oda, if the inspection is not in violation of the embassy if it is not inspected in time, the responsibility is not small.

Matsudaira Tadatsugu understood that this was distracting himself, and hurriedly responded. Hasegawa Hayato said eagerly, "Genta, what do you say Musashi Mamoru will plan?" ”

Isshiki Zhenxiu put away the paper, pen, ink and inkstone on the table, and said unhurriedly, "You and I, as nobodies under the Musashi judge, want to call on the wealthy families, which really doesn't seem to be enough. But the Musashi judge didn't expect those wealthy people to be able to look at the scenery so well, and was looking for an opportunity to kill the chickens and monkeys. You see, the scheming people jumped out by themselves......" As he spoke, Matsudaira Tadashi led the four envoys into the house.

Isshiki Zhenxiu did not hesitate, and after a series of words, the four envoys nodded hurriedly, and then the leader stepped forward with both hands to take the cloth bag that had been wrapped in cowhide, carefully put it into his arms, and bowed down and exited the house.

When he returned to his longhouse, he asked the other ashigaru to help him put on all the armor, and then he walked out of the village with a hat and a sword across his waist, and someone outside the door led the four Shinano horses out of the stable.

The samurai of the wealthy families living in the pavilion were about to investigate, but they were restrained by Hasegawa Hayato with a dozen ashigaru deaths, and they could only cry out in vain. Seeing the four on the horse, they left in the dust, leaving only a vague back in the rain.
